Moses didn't 'give' the Law, he merely passed it on. Ultimately it came from God.
This is exactly correct. Moses was a recorder, a stenographer. In fact, God wrote the Ten Commandments Himself...

Exo 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Ez 20
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the lands, [SUP]24 [/SUP]because they had not observed My ordinances, but had rejected My statutes and had profaned My sabbaths, and their eyes were on the idols of their fathers. [SUP]25 [/SUP]I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live; [SUP]26 [/SUP]and I pronounced them unclean because of their gifts, in that they caused all their firstborn to pass through the fire so that I might make them desolate, in order that they might know that I am the Lord.”’

God says here that He gave them statutes that were not good - Do you believe that they were not good?

Of course they were good, but they were unachievable by men! It was not that the Law that was not good, but that the flesh is weak.

If a bird were to give us instruction could we fly? If we were gently pushed out of the nest we would fall on our face - And that is what happened to Israel. And that is why Jesus was always the plan. To fulfill/satisfy the Law, because we can't.

Just food for thought.
A better translation would be "gave them over to"

Eze 20:25 "Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live; - NKJV

New Living Translation
I gave them over to worthless decrees and regulations that would not lead to life.

GOD'S WORD® Translation
I also allowed them to follow laws that were no good and rules by which they could not live

Simply put, God gave them perfect, righteous Laws...

Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Psa 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

But Israel rejected them so God allowed them to follow laws that were not good for them.

Either that or God is a liar. He says His Laws are perfect, so if the laws referred to in Ezek 20:25 are His Laws, then He lied.

They were already in effect prior to Mt. Sinai...

Exo 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

In fact...

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

Does anyone know what Revelation is referring to when it says "Sardis", regarding a precious stone?

Sorry, Zin, slight derail, but the reason I started looking at this verse is because of post #19. So, if someone wants to send me a private message that would be good.

John 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope. 46"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.

God did not give the law to the people.

Moses gave the law to the people.

God gave the law to Moses, who gave the law to the people.

That is why he is called the lawgiver.

He gave them God's law.

John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3:17-18New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

the people who are lawless dont have grace the people who not lawless do have grace from the lord,,


the law was given to Moses moses passed it on, Moses is a profit,,, the law is prophesy from God moses is not the giver but the keeper he keep the laws and then he gives the law so he both a law keep and a law giver

The Law of Moses is the list of rituals, moral laws, and guidance that are recorded in the the Books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The are called the Law of Moses because God gave them to the nation of Israel through a man called Moses:
Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I [God] commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. (Mal. 4:4, NASB
)
The Jews were to follow the Law of Moses (Deut. 4:1
).

The New Testament tells us that God added (Gal. 3:17
,19
) the Law of Moses to the life of his people to teach them: the Law taught people about sin (Gal. 3:19
, 22-23
), and it taught people about Christ (Gal. 3:24, NASB
). Now that Christ has come, the Law has been abolished (Gal. 3:25
; Rom. 10:4
: i.e. we do not need to follow the Law of Moses nowadays). Instead, nowadays we need to follow the Lord Jesus Christ himself (Gal. 6:2
; Phil. 2:5
; 1Peter 2:21
).

On top of that, if Moses was a law keeper he would have entered the promised land, but as it is plainly recorded, he didn't keep the law, however, his soul was saved through some acts of righteousness by his faith.
If God can abolish what He says, it would make even our very world a dangerous place to be for God could abolish it at any time, His word would mean nothing.

God didn't abolish anything else. When Christ gave his blood, it made animal blood unnecessary. When Christ became the High Priest He made the High Priest unnecessary. Christ made the law unnecessary for salvation, but that was so from the beginning, no one received salvation or atonement without blood.

I hope you are not right about abolishing the law, although it is growing weaker, and it won't be abolished until we have a new earth. It would take away our entire faith and make our God unreliable.

Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah: cf. Genesis 49:8 as interpreted by Revelation 5:5


Genesis 49:8 Jacob Blesses his Sons

7"Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel. I will disperse them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel. 8"Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father's sons shall bow down to you. 9"Judah is a lion's whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up.



Revelation 5:5 The Lamb is Worthy
5and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."

John 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope. 46"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.
