Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

the sacrifices are written in jots and tittles.

Q:
what became of 'not one jot or tittle removed' ?

A:
we died to the law in order to belong to another

He is my Husband

The New Covenant, Why did the old husband have to die? To give way for the new one. NEW AND IMPROVED. REMOVED WERE THE PARTS NOT ACCOMPLISHING GODS WILL, REPLACED WITH PARTS THAT DID. All the statutes and rituals and ordinances and the sacrificing of the "best" a man had and all that that entailed every year, the circumcision on the 8th day WERE REPLACED by ALL THE WORK CHRIST DID. Do you see how much "lighter" our yoke is now?

IF one jot or tittle was removed from the old law, YOU WOULD NOT EVER BE ABLE TO FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH LIGHTER THAT YOKE IS. YOU compare what "they" did before "GRACE" came and you yourself, by every jot and tittle of the written word, Can drop down on your knees and PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE GIFT OF GRACE THAT WITHOUT EVER JOT AND TITTLE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW THANKFUL YOU WERE. SO THEY ARE RIGHT WhERE THEY NEED TO BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF OUR EDIFICATION. IT IS SO SIMPLE YET IS BEING MADE SOOOOOOOO HARD. I JUST DON'T GET IT.

I apologize for the yelling. It is nothing more than intense frustration at things God says so plainly and with any amount of common sense is just so clear. I really am sorry but I am hoping that some one sees and says Praise you My God for the Huge, super light (it is now) in no way a burden, freeing, forgiving, guiding, full of life, Grace and law.

They are hanging on the 2 commandments of Love the Lord God and Love your neighbor and the Spirit that dwells inside you, directs you along those paths. I think, just my thoughts here, that according to the amount of wisdom and knowledge you have gotten from seeking it out in the Word, it directs you, the words you choose, the thoughts brought forward, and that all are moved in are different ways.

We died to the law, We died to the old law because it died, We married a new law a much much much better law. Read the old one. It was a burden (I hate to even type those words but the NEW ONE, well, Grace Rocks)

I died to the law in order to live for God.



hmm we've heard that before:


Romans 7:1

Romans 7:4

Romans 7:6

the law has no authority over someone who has died.

I am crucified with Christ.

I died to the law in order to live for God.

If I build up again what has been destroyed I would truly be a lawbreaker.

no one is justified by the law.

did I receive the Spirit through the law? am I then perfected by it?

you didn't give a straight answer to any of my questions, but I take it that you believe Jeremiah is talking about Moses' Law with about 2/3 of the jots and tittles removed?


can you at least give a straight answer about whether that is your answer to that one question?

Josh would have me believe, this means God sent His Son born in sin, in violation and condemnation, under judgement. because, 'idiom'


i suppose he thinks that's why Jesus was baptized? because beforehand He was full of sin, under judgement and worthy of condemnation? in which case baptism - a cleansing/purification ritual - was effective in cleansing the sin of the Messiah?


is it then the purification ritual of baptism that removes our sin?


perhaps he'll clarify that.

just asking questions.

This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

You just will not or can not accept the New Covenant or follow the order of events. You and those who believe like you refuse to leave the old covenant that Jesus came in, and move onto the New Covenant that the blood of Jesus brought in. Just like the Pharisees wouldn't give up that old law, neither will you. How you can't see or accept "changes" made is beyond me. It will remain beyond me. HUMBLE YOURSELF AND PRAY TO GOD TO open your eyes and that "THE LAW WILL BECOME ALIVE AND VALID IN YOUR LIFE" AND THE DEATH YOU SO SEE WILL BE TURNED TO THE LOVE THAT HAS REPLACED IT AND LET THE SPIRIT USE THOSE LAWS WRITTEN INSIDE YOUR HEART AND MIND TO PERFECT YOU AS YOU PROGRESS TOWARD YOUR MOST CHRISTLIKE STATE.

Walk like him?

He was perfect. How well ate you at walking like him?

All true statements, but in context.


The law REQUIRES that I make a payment for my breach.


What is the law requiring of me at this point? Obedience to commandments? No...


Answer: Blood. The law requires my blood. Life is in the blood.


The cost is my life.


...As long as I am living I can't truly satisfy the payment of blood and so I remain in violation to the law.


By the full weight of authority, the Law hangs over me demanding my life as long as I live. Only my death will satisfy the payment.


<christ dies>


By faith, His blood (life) enters me, and I enter his body to be "crucified with Christ".


By faith in Christ, I die, satisfying what I owe.


The Law is no longer requiring any blood from me. I'm no longer on the ritual side of the law.


That part has no authority over me anymore. It can not require a blood payment from me because by faith I am now dead.





I can't get any straighter than answering "yes", "not" etc for your questions, so I doubt you'll actually be satisfied with any answer I give at this point because you don't agree with them.




Adam sinned.


All of humanity was in Adam when Adam sinned.


The Law. Requires. Adam's. Death.


Death is the judgment. Death is the condemnation.


Christ's SPIRIT is from above but Christ's FLESH is a descendant of Adam. See Luke 3:23


Christ's flesh had to die for the same reason why our flesh has to die. Adam's flesh must pay for Adam's sin.


"In Adam all die."


The payment is death. Blood. Giving of life. Death is the judgment. The condemnation.


...But the reason Christ had the full right to resurrect after death is because he lived in perfect obedience to The Law all his life. He didn't deserve to stay dead, unlike we who do (because we've also sinned like Adam).

Romans 8:3 [brackets mine]
For what the law could not do [TO JUSTIFY], in that it was weak through the flesh [Adam's], God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh [Adam's], and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh [Adam's]:

Upon resurrection, he can restart mankind without its bondage to the judgment (death) that was/is still on Adam's flesh. This is why he is called the SECOND ADAM. This is why the believer is hid in his body, like we were hid in Adam's body when he sinned.


"In Christ all (who believe) are made alive."


"Under the law" means judgment; condemnation. The judgment is death. Blood. Christ came in Adam's sinful flesh under judgment (death), yet did not sin.

It's a life long process. We are infants in Christ and babies don't walk well either but are still encouraged to learn to walk. Our Father in Heaven also encourages us to learn to walk right with Him. Our weakness and stumblings are not an excuse to stop learning.

this is actually very good.

now, take it one step further, and TRUST Christ for salvation . when you speak truth like this, don't undercut it by turning around and running back the Sabbath, the commands of ordinances, and the Jewish festivals.

as John said in the last chapter of His Gospel, these things were written , so that you may believe ( in Jesus), and in believing, ( not command keeping), you may have eternal life.

Lol I read the first half of your second paragraph as was like, "yes agreement!" Then read the end of the paragraph and said, "argh!"

Oh well. That's a start.

Yes. Everything I posted is for justification/salvation.

For the rest of what you say, let me ask your opinion about what was going on in Acts regarding Paul.

Paul attended the feast of unleavened bread and rushed to get to feast of pentecost. Both are festivals. Why do you think he did this?

Just asking your opinion on it in relation to undercutting and turning back to such things.

Who does ths? Who says it is ok to break them? Why is it that lawyers always fall back on this nonsensical argument?

Do the ten commands tell us how to keep them? Or did. jesus show us when he said we keep them by obeying th elaw of Love?

No one here is sayign its ok to break them. You people have to stop this nonsense. Because all your doing is trying to convince yourself that your right.

A lawyer would have to answer that one.

The ten commands are grounded in love. They are the moral commands for a society and the righteous commands for a God loving people.
I don't fail to keep the ten commandments. Do you?

I believe we all should take a day of rest. And that was the origional purpose of the saterday rest.

But the sabbath tradition as given to Israel. No.

Interesting that you don't understand what is in it.

It is not crystal clear to me that there is one covenant,
Leviticus 26:42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
Leviticus 26:43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

Leviticus 26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

Leviticus 26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 26:46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

So you make accusations but you cannot back your accusations?
