In all truth the only way one can learn is to place all scripture in context with all other scripture. When one tells us that Paul said the law was removed, changed, or in anyway suspended, they turn to Paul. Yet when faced with the fact that Yeshua told us,
Mat 5:17"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.
Mat 5:18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
It becomes clear that they have misunderstood Paul. That or they wish to just over look all but one word. You see in the K.J.V. it reads
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
We can skip evey thing in this passage if we must. That is after all the only way to find that the Law has been removed. Yet as we read on we find that not even the smallest part of the law will be removed until heaven and earth are done away with. With that in mind one should seek to place every thing we read in the N.T. in context with this, were the law is concerned.
Every one that teaches the law does no good for our salvation, have over looked the fact that Yeshua also told us,
Mat 19:17“Why ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. But to answer your question—if you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments.”
This repeated in Mark 10:19 and Luke 18:20. Yet it seems that many wish to condemn any that do their best to follow the law, and for some reason they think that we are lost with no hope for redemption.
The only true way to learn is to look at every word in the passage, chapter, book, and the whole of the Word to find continuity. Trying to explain way a full verse to make it fit your understand should be a red flag. Expechaly when your understanding doesn't line up with the vary verse you are looking at.
Now someone may ask, "Why are you so invested in this passage?" My answer, "This passage is the root of every thing I hold dear." You see if we keep it in context, and then seek to place the writings of everyone in the N.T. in context with this, it changes how we look at the law, Paul, Peter, and even parts of John.
As we will see in the next post, Yeshua never replaces any of the Law, he doesn't change any of it, or try to white wash it. What he does do is give us a fuller understanding of it.
Like I said stick around, you won't be sorry.
