All 613 Laws

[oldethennew]

MATT.5:18-19.
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 be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so,
he shall be called 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.

 

[Dan_473]

MATT.5:18-19.
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 be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so,
he shall be called 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.

interesting constuction of that verse.

note that "till" occurs twice.

compare it to "Till the end of the year, I won't play video games till I paint the house."

once I paint the house, I can then play video games.



17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Jesus came to fulfil the law and the prophets.

so the condition "till all be fulfilled" is met, I believe.

Sorry, but I can't really understand your grammar or your question. Could you clarify it please?



There is no specific Scripture that says who Hebrews is talking to. But be careful that you carry that same standard to every book of the Bible, that it has to specifically mention who it is talking to in order to understand it.

But here is a helpful question regarding my point.

Does Paul or Jesus ever advocate keeping the Law for any reason?

No, I don't like to spend time actually reading. I'd rather just get on the net and quote stuff from a Bible website.




that is why i don t understand your logic. are you now trying to give me a bible lesson, after the above statement.
yet its the chaff that burns, not the harvest. lol

THE ACTS 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

in your view, did the Holy Spirit call Paul to a particular work?

Like I was saying, if he had the holy spirit he would have done the miracles the holy spirit gives as it is written, the spirit Jesus and the true apostles had. Many here say they are filed with the holy spirit but do not do miracles. Many here say they know the lord but have no love or mercy in their heart and never had a personal relationship nor seen any miracles. Theres a difference between religious doctrines and the living power of the Father. Anybody can say anything it doesnt make it true.

I think it's interesting that with the destruction of the temple and priesthood in 70 ad, huge sections of the law can no longer be kept.

[KohenMatt]

That was the last of the 613 laws throughout the Torah. For those who took the time to read the individual laws themselves, thank you.

One of the things that I always find interesting about going through these 613 individually is realizing that they're not really that burdensome or difficult. As God said when He gave these laws,

“For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach.12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it." (Deut 30:11-14)


Obviously, there are some that are no longer physically applicable due to no temple or specific nations. Some of them don't apply to different people groups and lives (women, agriculture, slavery, war, etc.) But regarding the ones that are possible to keep physically for folks today, these laws aren't as burdensome as many think. Now, no one can keep all of these perfectly all of the time as some have said. But again, perfection isn't required by God, unless someone is using their obedience for increased standing before God. When Israel broke a Law, a sacrifice was made and was forgiven. This expectation and standard still exists today in the New Testament world, only there is a better and perfect sacrifice given for forgiveness; one that negates the physical instruction for animal sacrifices: Jesus.

But my point regarding obedience to the Law is that ALL of them are applicable physically and/or spiritually. And my hope is that those who took the time to read through these laws will find many of them aren't too difficult to apply physically, and that all of them contain wisdom for Believers today.

Thank you Matt. This is cool

I created a similar thread 2 years ago because at the time, there were a lot of references to the "Law" on this forum, but very few quotes of the specific Laws themselves. I think we're at a similar place with a bunch of new faces on the forum. In order to weed out a lot of the commentary from that time, I'm re-posting the Laws themselves and not "bumping up" the entire thread. I will keep my comments to a minimum.

These Laws are usually referred to as a whole unit and judged or analyzed as such. These laws are usually deemed to be burdensome and inapplicable to Christians today. However, when these commands are looked at individually and on their own merit, they can provide great insight and application for Christians today. While some of them are in fact not physically applicable for various reasons, I believe ALL of them are applicable physically and/or spiritually. This thread is primarily meant to simply list the commands themselves.

So for the sake of information and clarity, I'll be posting the actual commands and verses of all 6113 laws in groups of their relevant sections (not all at once.) I'm using the grouping and ordering as compiled by the Jewish scholar Maimonides, aka Rambam.

Each time THE LAW is addressed, it is singular. There is one LAW with many ordinances, not 613 Laws.
Please stop making changing the Scripture.
To break one ordinance is to break THE LAW, the one, singular, one LAW.
If people would just read and understand the simplicity of this truth, they would understand that no man has ever kept the LAW. All have failed except for our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

OK, this is a semantic issue that I'm OK with making. I'm perfectly willing to refer to each of these as individual ordinances, and the sum of them as "The Law" if you'd like. Not a problem for me at all.

If people would just read and understand the simplicity of this truth, they would understand that no man has ever kept the LAW. All have failed except for our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

I completely agree with this statement.

Didn't read any comments, not sure when I responded to this link, the response has no qualification to it

if we set aside the book of Acts and all the letters of Paul, shall we set aside the book of Revelation as well? All we know about the author is that he's named John.

Wasnt John an apostle? Either way the book of revelations has proven to come true in many prophecies. And many more are seen everyday. When in the full spirit you can discern which books are full of life and spirit and endless knowledge, and which writers just boasted about themself and spoke against the trinity.

Im actually working slowly on a thread of a thousand contradictions by paul that is all scripture based and which will one day be posted.

If you'll notice, the book of Revelation doesn't say it's written by the apostle John, just someone named John.

if we can safely disregard any letter not written by someone who has the signs of an apostle, then we can disregard Revelation.
