When a person says the Law is abolished it demonstrates how uneducated he/she is about the profound plan El Elyon has had for us since the beginning of time. They don't understand covenants at all because if they did they would easily see how the "Old" has in NO WAY been abolished.
Keep sharing truth, sister!
Ephesians 2:14-16
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
15 having >>> abolished G2673 – katargeō <<< in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
The Law IS abolished for those IN CHRIST:
Romans 7:4-6
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been >>> delivered G2673 – katargeō <<< from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Here’s the definition:
1) to render idle, unemployed, inactivate, inoperative
a) to cause a person or thing to have no further efficiency
b) to deprive of force, influence, power
2) to cause to cease, put an end to, do away with, annul, abolish
a) to cease, to pass away, be done away
b) to be severed from, separated from, discharged from, loosed from any one
c) to terminate all intercourse with one
That’s talkin’ about the Law for those in Christ, folks!
The Law, for those in Christ, is these things:
➞ idle
➞ unemployed
➞ inactive (!!!)
➞ inoperative (!!!)
➞ to cause a person to have no further efficiency
➞ to deprive of force, influence, power (!!!)
➞ to cause to cease, put an end to, do away with, annul, abolish (!!!)
➞ to cease, to pass away, be done away (!!!)
➞ to be severed from, separated from, discharged from, loosed from any one (!!!)
➞ to terminate all intercourse with one (!!!)
When a person says the Law is abolished it demonstrates how uneducated he/she is about the profound plan El Elyon has had for us since the beginning of time.
Law was never His original plan for mankind; He gave us the choice between the Tree of LIFE and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Man chose unwisely and continues to do so.
They don't understand covenants at all because if they did they would easily see how the "Old" has in NO WAY been abolished.
It's not the Mosaic Covenant that was not set aside by the New Covenant, but the Abrahamic Covenant that was not set aside by the Mosaic Covenant according to the Scriptures:
15 To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. 16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God [the Abrahamic Covenant], so as to make the promise [to Abraham - the promise of righteousness by faith] void. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. 20 Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.
24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. (from Gal. 3)
Instead, it
IS the Mosaic Covenant that is rendered obsolete in Christ and replaced by the New Covenant as the way to draw near to God. Interestingly, neither does the New Covenant set aside the Abrahamic Covenant, but fulfills it as well, as we enter into the Promise given to Abraham by faith in Christ - the Perfect High Priest of the New Covenant:
11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.
18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. (from Heb. 7)
6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; [We know the Mosaic Covenant is the one spoken of here, as the letter to the Hebrews is all about comparing and contrasting the Levitical system to the Messianic system] and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. (from Heb. 8)

That may be what you are saying, not sure, but hope so............for even the Gentiles become an "heir to the promise" by adoption.
