Your play on words can get people quite mixed up. Because Paul called the commands that were fleshly like cutting flesh "the law of Moses" people get what Paul said about this law mixed up with the ten commandments that are part of the eternal law. Even that gets mixed up, because Christ changed those commandments from a law in stone to be obeyed without considering that love is the base of all real eternal law.
When this isn't explained, it can lead to a teaching to be disobedient to the Lord.
Paul just understood the law of Moses meant
the words of Moses commandments written in the book of the law of Moses.
this book Moses completed just before his death.
“And it came to pass, when
Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.”
Deuteronomy 31:24-26 KJV
“And afterward
he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.”
Joshua 8:34 KJV
it contained all this
“There was
not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the
women, and the
little ones, and
the strangers that were conversant among them.”
Joshua 8:35 KJV
Whatever Moses required in the whole Torah is
Moses law he wrote it and he shed The blood of animals according to its words
to the twelve tribes of isreal before Christ had come
as a forepattern.
“And
Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: ( that’s Moses law
) and
all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do.
And Moses
wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
…And
Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the
blood he
sprinkled on the altar. And
he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and
they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.
And
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.”
Exodus 24:3-8 KJV
Paul understood the law much better than people who try to yoke it to Christians.
we Christians who are born again want this law new law that God was promising long after Moses book was written and before Christ ever came forth to speak it
We want this Word Moses
foretold would come later
“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and
will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And it
shall come to pass, that
whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Deuteronomy 18:18-19 KJV
that the prophets kept foretelling
“
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for
a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall
wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.”
Isaiah 51:4-5 KJV
“
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
He shall not fail nor be discouraged,
till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall
wait for his law.”
Isaiah 42:1, 3-4 KJV
“
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. ….Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For as the
rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but
watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it
shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:3-7, 10-11 KJV
your missing the promises that witness Christ and the gospel in the law sister because your trying to mix up two seperate covenants . Moses completed his own covenant he spoke all the words of the old covenant law wrote them in a book the people swore to obey them every one then he shed animal blood according to those words .
Jesus made his own covenant too his words and his blood. They don’t go together he fulfilled the promises of the law and prophets
now beginning with the gospel he’s made a new covenant with a better word. There’s a new covenant sister a new word new blood new mediator
“For there is one God, and
one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
1 Timothy 2:5 KJV
