I think John was speaking of New Covenant commandments, not the law of Moses. When Jesus said to the young rich ruler: "Keep the commandments", he was referring to the 10 commandments because at that time they were still under the law of Moses. In John 5:2 John is referring to New Covenant...

Hi, Deade, I'm unable to answer your post now, but I hope I'll be able to answer it tomorrow.

I think that a long transition period (some 20 years) between the Old and the New Covenants was part of God's plan. That's why Jesus didn't tell the disciples that the law of Moses had been (or would be) abolished. The good thing about it is that, despite the differences between Jesus and Paul...

Where?

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Where does John talk about keeping the Sabbath?

I am not against keeping the ordinances of the law of Moses that were confirmed in the New Covenant.

Out of the Ten Commandments I keep nine because they were reiterated in the New Testament books. We don't have to keep the Sabbath because it is not part of the new life in Christ.

Are you referring to the following posts? Sure! I admit to keeping some laws. All Christians keep some ordinances of the law of Moses because they were confirmed in the New Covenant. If you follow the New Covenant teachings you will automatically obey some of Moses' teachings, but not all.

I agree! If you destroy cats you destroy humanity. Without good examples set by cats our society is doomed to self-destruction.

Yes, God did away with the 613-item-list of do's and don'ts and established a new law, but unfortunately there are many people who love that obsolete law more than they love God.

The law of Moses is very different from that! There are 613 ordinances.

I agree with what you say above. If we believe that Jesus is the Messiah; that He died on the cross to ransom our souls; if we don't commit adultery nor fornication; if we don't steal, etc, we don't need to follow all the teachings of Moses, because we'll be saved by grace through faith.

This is very important: He will prepare the works for us to do. So I don't need to ask myself: "What good work should I do today?"

Psalm 71:2 (NRSV) 2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me.

Law Zelots don't keep the whole law of Moses; they have done away with many of the 613 Mitzvot. Not even religious Jews keep the whole Law and this means ALL has already been accomplished.

Psalm 69:27 (NKJV) Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into Your righteousness.

I agree! TV preachers don't represent us! The cost of broadcasting is huge, and no one will preach the Gospel on TV just because they are willing to save as many souls as they can. Obviously they expect a return for their investment and if they preach the true Gospel the audience will be too...
