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

    Yes, I mean the law of Moses. The Gentiles are to follow the New Covenant doctrine (basically, the teachings laid out in all epistles and those of the Earthly Jesus that were not exclusive to the Jews).

    All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. My interpretation: If you are not under the Law you will not be judged by the Law. If you are under the Law you will be judged by the Law. I am not under the Law and...

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

    This is very interesting! Jesus didn't say "don't stone her because I came to abolish the Law" or "don't stone her because the Law will soon be abolished". The Lord said they could stone her, but the one without sin should be the first to cast a stone. My interpretation is this: Jesus not...

    This is applicable to non-legalistic Christians. Those who claim the Law still applies, have to observe what is above and LITERALLY what is below: Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your...

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

    It's impossible to determine if I descend from Manasseh or Ephraim or Dan or Simeon or Naphtali or Asher or Issachar or Zebulon or Gad or Benjamin or Joseph or Reuben because all of them had big noses. Anyway ... great chances are I have some Jewish blood in my veins because my dad's nose was...

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

    As far as I can remember I'm not one of the scattered sheep. The best words I can think of to describe myself is "a former unbeliever".

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

    You guys listen only to part one of the Gospel (before the ascension). "Listen to Him" means you must listen to the whole message (part 1 and part 2). Part two is found mostly in Paul's letters.
