Has the law been put aside? If so, when?

The Law was fulfilled at the Death of Christ on the cross.

The Power of the Gospel was shown at the Resurrection of Christ.

The Law is not set aside until each individual person is given rest by coming to Christ.

You can't just tell someone that the law has been set aside at some certain point in history because each person is under law until they come to faith in Christ.

The spirit of the law is contained within the law as stated on the stone tablets.

Do you believe the law was set aside, or not? I need to know where to begin. Thanks.

Shoot, begin by telling what YOU think. Answer your own question. We ain't your students.........unless someone forgot to send me the Memo appointing you as the Scriptural Instructor for Christian Chat....

Hafta talk to the Colorado Cowboy 'bout that........hmm

Do you define "under the law" as being under the condemnation of the law?
If so, I do not agree with that definition. There are two scripotures that confirm this for me.
Here is one of them. Why would anyone WANT to be under the condemnation of the law?

Galatians 4:21
Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?

Before... until... until... Now...

Galatians 3:23-25
Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law,
locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

What is the difference between the law being fulfilled and the law being set aside?
The Bible seems to say something different than what you are saying in that regard.

Hey! Sketch... : )
Let me agree with you, who would want to go back to keeping the law when we have the Spirit? But if one does:
Gal 5: 4 "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
The New Covenant supercedes the Old covenant, even though they run concurrently until this heaven and earth pass away. So that if one departs from faith in Jesus, to keeping the law for their righteousness; will bring the curse of death for any sins committed after departing from the faith; because grace gives its forgiveness forever for those sins put under the blood, continuing on even after one departs from the faith. Their sins after departing the faith are no longer forgiven without faith by, for one; to stop obeying the holy commandment, 1 Jn 3;24, given to each of us along with our faith; by Jesus when we first believed: like in 1 Tim 4:1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils."
Just to be clear, the holy commandment in 1 Jn 3: 19-24; vs 23 "And this is his commandment, that we should believe upon the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment."

Being under the law is when:
One who keeps the law and escape its curse.

Maranatha!

Yes, I believe the law has been set aside. Any other questions? (I'm not your teacher)

Has the Law been put aside?

No. The Law and the curse of the Law have not been put aside.

However, Yeshua/Jesus fulfilled BOTH in His human body for us that believe in Him, love Him and receive by faith with thanksgiving ALL He did for us.

Receiving His Righteousness for us is to receive the human fulfillment of the Law in His Body which is the Bread - which we partake of and remember what He has done for us.

Receiving His Blood for us is the human fulfillment of the curse of the Law which is death. We partake of this too when we drink the cup He offers us for the forgiveness of our sins.

So, “in Christ” the Law and curse of the Law is appeased- not done away with but, satisfied or fulfilled.

Anyone (Jew or Gentile) without Yeshua/Jesus is still under the Law and the curse of the Law..

Just a side note, Jesus also fulfilled all that the prophets had spoken about the Messiah.

I totally agree, the blood of Jesus on the cross fulfilled all the prophecies and all that God told all people.

What happened to all the people who lived the 4,000 years before Jesus? Because Jesus had not lived as a man yet, did they all face eternal death?

If God was inactive during the time the OT speaks of then what about creation, the psalms, what happened when God freed people who were slaves in Egypt, etc?

I have been told the law is dead, that the seventh day as God created it is no more, and even Passover is replaced by a day not spoken of in scripture. Is this so?

Thanks for your reply.

The Bible seems to say something different than what you are saying in that regard.

Matt. 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." This is not saying each point will be fulfilled separately, no element shall pass away until ALL be fulfilled.



Heb. 4:9-11 "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

The Christian rest is the millennial Kingdom of God. Until then we still labor. Grace has removed the curse of the law.

After coming to Christ so the power of Christ works in a life for forgiveness of sin and receiving the Holy Spirit. Sin does not cause death when sin is taken to Christ with repentance so it is forgiven.

A spirit that tells people to tell the Holy Spirit it may not speak to them about how to live, it may not repeat any directions God gives is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is of God and never disagrees with scripture.
