You are making obedience to the Mosaic Law the criteria by which men are admitted into the Kingdom. I hope you do not believe this literally but you fail to make necessary distinctions to separate your beliefs from the erroneous opinions the Judaeizers which Paul condemned. The Galations also encountered many who were teaching that those who had been converted to Christ ALSO had to practice all the works of the Law. Thus being righteous depends on both faith and following the works of the LAW.
modify it.
I find it perplexing that so many people relate the Ten Commandments as the law of Moses when the Law itself has nothing to do with Moses, but has everything to do with our relationship with God. God’s name (not Moses) is in each one of these commandments and He takes ownership of them not just in the words itself, but He did not leave His holy and eternal Law to be written by man, God divinely wrote them Himself, not just once but
twice. He wrote them in stone for its eternal nature and then He writes
His laws in our heart
2Cor3:3 Heb 8:10 The first 4 commandments show how to love God and the last 6 how we love our neighbor. They cover so much more than people realize
Psa 119:96 just as Jesus taught from this same unit
Mat 5:19-30
Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [
a]bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before
Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness
of anything that
is in heaven above, or that
is in the earth beneath, or that
is in the water under the earth;
5 you shall not bow down to them nor [
b]serve them.
For I, the Lord your God,
am a jealous God, visiting[
c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth
generations of those who hate
Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love
Me and keep
My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of
the Lord your God in vain, for
the Lord will not hold
him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who
is within your gates.
11 For
in six days
the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that
is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore
the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
I personally do not see how Scripture could be clearer about whose Law is the Ten Commandments and Moses the creation and servant of God, is not God the Creator of everything
Exo 20:11. Moses own testimony said the Ten Commandments is God’s work not his, so why do so many insist it’s the law of Moses so we no longer need to keep them when there is not one Scripture in context that says this.
Deu 4:13 So
He declared to you
His covenant which
He commanded you to perform, the
Ten Commandments; and
He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
Deu 5:22 "These words
the LORD spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and
He added no more. And
He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
Exo 31:18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of
the Testimony, tablets of stone
, written with the finger of God.
Exo 32:16 Now the tablets
were the work of God, and the writing
was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.
Exo 34:28 So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water.
And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the
Ten Commandments.
Deu 29:1 These
are the words of the covenant
which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
The Ten Commandments is what sits under
God’s mercy seat
Exo 25:21. What He wrote and what He spoke, the words of the covenant
Exo 34:28 that He promised not to alter
Psa 89:34 as it is revealed in heaven
Heb 8:1-5 Rev 15:5 Rev 11:18-19. This is God’s authority that no one can change a jot or tittle, as it is what all man will be Judged by
James 2:11 Rev 22:15. We have a righteous and loving God, He would not judge us without telling us how He will judge us and He did so in the most awesome way.
It seems many people have followed the traditions of the churches over the commandments of God. Jesus addressed this who is God made flesh and wrote the Ten Commandments…
Mar 7:7 AND IN VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.'
Mar 7:
8 For laying aside the commandment of God (meaning not for me) , you hold the tradition of men
I believe we are living in the last days before Jesus comes in the clouds. Are there any commandments of God we are laying aside and instead following popular traditions? Breaking God’s law is sin
1 John 3:4 We have time to change our ways today, but we do not know what tomorrow brings.
Heb 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“
Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in
their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief
in departing from the living God;
13 but [
b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “
Today,” lest any of you
be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
15 while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed,
was it not all who came out of Egypt,
led by Moses?
17 Now with whom was He angry forty years?
Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom did He swear
that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Rev 22:14 Blessed
are those who
do His commandments,
that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
