Jesus spke: Mathew 5:17-18

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfill

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 is fulfilled

19 Whosoever therefore shatlll break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be call the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, but whosoever shall do and teach them the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven

now I ask...are the laws of moses laws refered to as the "least" laws? why would God say the 10 commandments are no longer valid.... one of the commandments I would never break....Do not kill....okay tell me the 10 commandments are becasee we obey the example of Christ...I still won't kill...does that man I'm following a dead law? I'm not talking about "self defense" I talking about "murder"

The law's purpose was to bring us to Christ. Gal 4. talks about this. Jesus talked about the "least of the laws" with the purpose to not water down the law in order to make them "doable" by people. Even the rich young ruler "thought" he had kept the law from his youth and Jesus revealed that he had broken they very 1st commandment as he had money before God.

You can't live from the law of Moses and Christ at the same time. Choose either to keep the whole Law of Moses without breaking one aspect of the law or to live by Christ within which is the true Christian way.

Jesus Himself is our Sabbath rest. The law of Moses is a mere shadow of the real thing which is Christ Himself. Get this wrong and we create a religion instead of living from Christ within us.

People often say to those that speak of the grace of God and that they are not under the law of Moses anymore that they believe they are without "laws" now.

We do have laws in the New Covenant. They are exciting laws that bring life and wholeness to us all - because these are all Christ Himself in us.

Read the law to see Jesus in it and to know that Jesus did that for us and His life in us now leads us in all things. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.

We now live by:

1) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. ( Romans 8:2 )

2) The law of love ( Romans 13:10 James 2:8 )

3) The law of faith ( Romans 3:27 and the law of Moses is NOT of faith - Gal. 3:12 )

4) Thelaw of liberty ( James 1:25 )

5) The law of Christ - which is Christ Himself in us. ( Gal. 6:2 )

We can trust the Holy Spirit in us to lead us in all affairs of life. We don't go back to the law of Moses that were a shadow of the real thing which is Christ in us.. Jesus is more then enough.

Yes...we glory in the laws that we have in the New Covenant because they are all Christ Himself living in and through us. ( Gal.2:20 and Col. 3:3 )

Get this wrong and we create a religion which really nullifies the grace of God from operating in our lives like it was meant to.

Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB)

[SUP]22 [/SUP] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

[SUP]23 [/SUP] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Magenta,,,, May I humbly ask you about the Picture of the Cross you have on your signature. Is there a certain reference to it. I have seen other Crosses with a Purple sash hung on them?

Thank you in advance.

Have a blessed day

Hey Bladerunner I've seen this as well, I think it is a representation of the soldiers who placed the purple robe and crown of thorns on Jesus while saying to him "hail, king of the Jews".

Mark 15:
16 the soldiers led him into the hall which was the Praetorium ; and they called together the whole regiment;
17 they clothed him in purple, and braided a crown of thorns, positioned the braided crown upon him;
18 furthermore began to salute him saying; " Hail, king of the Jews !"
