Are you saying the Ten Commandments belong to the Law of Moses? Because they existed
long before Moses and, according to God Himself, they will "stand fast forever and ever" (
Psalms 111:7-8 KJV).
yes I’m saying the Ten Commandments are the law of Moses covenant the Ten Commandments “ Thou shalt not commit adultery “ for instance that’s not Gods true law What Jesus said about our inner heart is if we keep Jesus word Moses law will never be transgressed but if we try to come to God by keeping Moses law the gospel will be defiled because the two testaments are as contrary as the flesh and spirit
the law is for sinners think about what Paul’s point is here
“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;”
1 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV
you tell a prone to stealing thief “ Thou shalt not steal “ “ and “ anyone who steals must pay back double” and be shamed . You tell someone who has a heart full of lustful intent “ Thou shalt not commit adultery , anyone who does must be stoned to death by the others “
Moses law works in conjunction with the Ten Commandments the Ten Commandments are the law of sin given for this reason to sinners to be clear they aren’t sin but they are the law of
“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
What Paul is getting at is this regarding the law giving knowledge of sins notice he’s quoting “ Thou shalt not covet” a Ten Commandment , to make his point about the law
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay,
I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”
Romans 7:7 KJV
That is one of the Ten Commandments. If you look really closely in chapter seven Paul is showing us the effect of the law to create sinfulness in our conflicted hearts and births a desire for sin rather than a desire to repent of sin
“ Thou shalt not “ is not what God is saying brother he’s saying what Jesus said
“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Matthew 5:27-28 KJV
that’s the spirit and truth God was always looking at
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the Lord pondereth the hearts.”
Proverbs 21:2
We have to follow the spirit rather than the flesh command but look I’m not saying or advocating anyone breaks a commandment by any means at all I’m saying if we forget about “Thou shalt not “
and look to what Jesus said instead we can know Gods true judgements for everlasting life and then we aren’t going to commit adultery because our heart will be purged by his word and our faith .
well never be right with God by Moses commandments consider that the law of Moses even the commandments from the mount aren’t our covenant
“For
ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:”
Hebrews 12:18-19 KJV
that’s when the commandments were spoken it’s not for us bro it’s certain death like the fruit
“But if
the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:”
2 Corinthians 3:7 KJV
it also blinds us to the gospel to take it as our law , it’s good and very very profitable but not our law
“But
their minds were blinded: for
until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
which
veil is done away in Christ. But
even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.”
2 Corinthians 3:14-15
The veil is because it’s for sinners like he told Timothy
we have to learn as Christians to begin and end with Jesus and his words even Moses foretold his authority over Moses law.
this is important to accept this one verse here I mean
“
The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Luke 16:16 KJV
It was never Moses law that Jesus sent into the world it was his word the gospel all I’m saying is we can be bound in sin by the law and our shortcomings
or we can listen to Jesus word and be set free
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
Jesus words will never teach us to break the laws of God but the gospel teaches us that we died to the law of sin and are raised up in the word of life to
