When Moses wrote the law o stone, it was "the law". Christ tells us in Matthew 5, first verses, that law did not change. The law of love, the new covenant law as Christ gave it contain the law in stone. When Christ put the law not to murder in our hearts, that law changed so it reflected God as spirit and we are no longer to read it as orders to obey by the letter, but by the heart. So it is with all the fleshly commands of the OT.
We are under the new covenant, not the old one where the law is in stone. Now we have the holy spirit to use to read scripture, not to flesh but of spirit. God is spirit.
John 4:23-24 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
WE no longer use fleshly commands as in the old covenant, we convert them into spiritual commands through the holy spirit and Christ.
“When Moses wrote the law o stone, it was "the law". Christ tells us in Matthew 5, first verses, that law did not change”
Moses didn’t write the law in stone God wrote the Ten Commandments with his finger . Then they broke the ckvenwnt he had made with them because they worshipped golden calf ,
no blick he said Thy law could
Never change until he fulfilled it.
“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.”
Matthew 5:18 KJV
Then he explained what he meant and gave then understanding of the scriptures
“And he said unto them,
These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then
opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them,
Thus
it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:44-48 KJV
He didn’t say it will never change he said
until it’s fulfilled and it is he fulfilled the law and prophets everything that was foretold is what was fulfilled
It was only ever meant to last
until Jesus came , preached the gospel , died and rose that’s the culmination of the law and prophets
“Wherefore then serveth
the law? It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; ( till he fuflilled the promise of Jesus )
and
it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
Galatians 3:19 KJV
“Thou shalt not do this or that “ is something that’s going to be fulfilled things like this we’re fulfilled
“
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and
will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And
it shall come to pass, that
whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Deuteronomy 18:18-19 KJV
That’s the true law and was fulfilled here
“He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but
the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that
his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
And it’s witnessed by the apostles here
“For
Moses truly said unto the fathers,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea,
and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of
the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Unto
you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”
Acts 3:22-26 KJV
the law of Moses was temporary given because of sin until Christ would come and preach righteousness and life
it was meant to last until Jesus came just like Moses said in the law itself. It’s fulfilled so now we don’t have this relationship with God
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
Now we have this relationship with God
Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”
John 14:6-7 KJV
And we have this covenant word
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
There’s no way to make the Old Testament law the law of Christians Jesus is our lord and his word is our law he fulfilled the ot like it repeatedly says do indeed the law changed with its priesthood
“If therefore perfection were by the
Levitical priesthood, (for
under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
For
the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.”
Hebrews 7:11-12, 15-19 KJV
Christians need to begin and end with Jesus and the gospel not try to add in an unprofitable law that can’t help made under sinful preists and mediated by angels and given into a different mediators hands those things served a purpose and we’re all disannuled when Christ died and rose up
It’s Christs words his teachings that’s what God is going to recognize and either believers will be saved and rejectors won’t be Moses words can’t help now Jesus words can save anyone Jew or gentile if they are able to let go if The unprofitable and grasp the life and light
