And, therefore, if you bear the fruit of the Spirit, you will become a law-abiding citizen of the kingdom of heaven.[/QUOTE]
that’s the thing the law of Moses is what’s written in his book it can’t be changed it will forever condemn sinners to death and is a law for an ancient unspiritual people who lived on constant rebellion against God. Moses law can’t be picked through it’s everything he wrote down for the children of Israel who he interceded for.
“Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.”
Exodus 21:1 KJV
“And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
Exodus 21:15-17, 22-25 KJV
“If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; ……..Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
Deuteronomy 19:16, 19-21
If anyone can’t understand the difference in that and The gospel they have t heard the gospel yet. It’s as contrary as this
“Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.”
Deuteronomy 19:19 KJV
And this
“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other;
and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:27-31, 35-38 KJV
the whole covenants are like that one offers mercy and forgiveness through repentance the other requires death for sin.
Like this fellow do you think this is Jesus judgement ?
This is if a woman marries and is found to not be a virgin
“But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.”
Deuteronomy 22:20-21 KJV
That is man having the judgement over man requiring man to witness against one another , accuse and condemn as a group ( like they did to Jesus ) then apppinted men judge and all the congregation puts men To death for their transgressions who can they witness against and accuse one another by the law. Because that’s what it’s meant for
“Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.”
Deuteronomy 31:26 KJV
And it requires complete perfect observance every transgression is punished by the group of other less than perfect people. And they are commanded to kill One another in other places severe punishments for detailed situations
“When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.”
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 KJV
one can really study the law and immediately tell it is not the gospel and not the judgement of Christ
“And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.”
Leviticus 20:10
This is Jesus and the gospel not obeying Moses at all but giving something new and better deliverance by repentance and remission of sins being condemned to death by the law of Moses but saved by the gospel
“And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.
But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, ( Deuteronomy 9:10) as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.”
John 8:2-13 KJV
the law is why Israel’s “wise “ couldn’t accept the messiah they couldn’t see it was meant to be fulfilled by the messiah and taken away with a better word given for a better kingdom of eternal Life beyond death .
They were too learned by the law that’s meant to be a witness against the people at the side of the ark , too hear the witness of the one who would replace the accusation at the side of God with an intercessor
“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
Romans 8:34 KJV
Rather than a constant written down constant witness against man , we have a risen and living advocate for the times we come up short
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”
1 John 2:1-5 KJV
That’s not referring to Moses law but to Christs word John 14-15
