Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

Yes, there are four Gospels. All of them were written down on paper by human hands, none of them were written down by Jesus himself.

Of course we can say that God made sure that each writer remembered correctly, and got exactly the right words down on paper. But then, why not also believe that God inspired the apostles to write down exactly the right words in their letters?

If you trust the KJV, I think this verse deals directly with gentiles and the law.

Acts 21: 24. Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and
keepest the law.
25. As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and
concluded that they observe no such thing,
save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

No such thing as what? I think the antecedent is the thing immediately previous, "keeping the law".

Sorry Dan so rude of me.... I forgot to say Nice to meet you as well!

ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE LIKE JESUS YOU MEAN....?

you have plenty of other hypocritical company in this thread.
welcome.

beware of flattery.

Jesus said not one jot or tittle.

you said, 2/3 of jots and tittles removed.

Did you read the reply? The ceremonial laws were done away with but not the moral law. Not one jot or tittle unless you think Heaven and Earth have passed away? When did that happen?

you said: "The ceremonial laws were done away"

what % of the jots and tittles of the law do you figure that is? i admit '2/3' is just an estimate.

hey @Heyjude, no one in the Bible ever talked about the Law as though there's 3 parts and you can delete 1 or 2 of them.
no one, ever.

God speaks of the whole law as one law.
Moses speaks of the whole law as one law.
Jesus speaks of the whole law as one law.
Paul speaks of the whole law as one law.
the council in Jerusalem speaks of the whole law as one law.
James speaks of the whole law as one law.

you speak of the law as parts you can selectively ignore.
that's not scriptural. not even in the least. it is however, very common these days.

you said you trust Jesus before anyone else. well, He said 'not one jot' -- so maybe you ought to do some thinking about that.

righteousness does not change. the believer is not under law, but grace: not because even a single dot of the law is removed, but because the believer has died with Christ, and is hidden in Christ, and the law, which is the power of sin, has no jurisdiction whatsoever over the dead.

you'll have plenty of people giving you thumbs up in this thread, and telling you how nice you are and how much they like what you say, tho, if you want to continue in hypocrisy. there are number of people regularly posting who claim to be under the law, and claim to be keeping it, all the while ignoring 2/3 of it ((let's just stick with the 2/3 number until we can get a more accurate estimate)). they love to have more converts.

i hope you enjoy your time with us either way

What about the phrase "laws, statutes, judgments" or "laws, statutes and ordinances" often repeated in scripture by the Almighty, by Moses...?

Too mechanical PH,

The Holy Spirit leads men into all truth. You ask, how do you have the audacity of choosing how to interpret the Scriptures!?

The Holy Spirit writes upon a mans heart. Did you give the Holy Spirit the list to write from? Or did God? If a man who is anointed with the Holy Spirit follows what is put upon his heart and it does not jive with your list is it then wrong?

Rom 14:2-10 NIV One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. (3) The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. (4) Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. (5) One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. (6) He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. (7) For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. (8) If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. (9) For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. (10) You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.


Are you like the Pharisee?;

Luk 18:9-14 NIV To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: (10) "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. (11) The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. (12) I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' (13) "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' (14) "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

1Ki 2:3 KJV And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

Oh I dont fall for flattery
You talk of jurisdiction. Like you are saying "this does not apply to me". That's not the Point. Some people think the Law is a good idea. Don't you get it? And obviously there are different laws, which is why some were in stone (moral law) and some were put in the side of the arc (ceremonial law) and they only applied to the Israelites at that time. Some people are do-ers of the moral law you know. Why do you ignore scripture? You don't seem to answer the questions I ask back but say rude and insulting things.

No need to be unkind is there? And just because people are welcoming on here doesn't mean you have to be mean about it.

1. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.
   
   

Romans 2:13

Does the phrase "laws, statutes, judgments" or "laws, statutes and ordinances" count? However it's rendered in translations, it's usually rendered as different elements.

Genesis 26:5
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

you are making excuses to delete 2/3 of the law.

to tell you the truth is not to insult you or to be rude; flattery is.

have a nice time. your new friends are currently arriving to help slander me.

Luk 1:6 KJV And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Deuteronomy 6:1
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
