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

I treat my patients spectacularly; they are loved and respected; always treated with kindness, tenderness and genuine care.

I physically lower myself, sitting eye to eye with them rather than standing over them in a domineering manner. I lower myself spiritually, letting them know I am their servant, not one to be revered. And before any of that I always thank them for allowing me the privilege of entering their home.

My patients are empowered by the spiritual gifts afforded me as comforter and defender of God’s grace, all of it always and forever to the glory of God. Their fears and concerns are received and addressed through listening and acknowledgement, Scripture, prayer and the reassurance of God’s presence. They are also reassured that their families will be looked after long after they (the patient) has passed on.

Make no mistake, I am as tender with my patients and their families as I am belligerent with modern day Pharisees who shut out the Kingdom of Heaven against others. I am both a comforter and defender.

If you’re still concerned for my patients then by all means lift them up in prayer. You don’t need to know their names, God knows who you’ll be lifting up.

That is the culmination of the New Covenant in which we now live, when the Messiah comes again.

I expect you think the miracle worker of Nazareth about whom the Father said, "This is my beloved Son" was a fake.

I haven`t a clue why you would say something like that to me.

Excuse the typos errors folks...my phone keys have died and they need to be brought back to life on my now so called "Lazarus" phone.

I think it`s more like you throw a tantrum when you get spanked with the scriptures. You get nasty when you don`t have a good answer for your watered down theology.

Let's read it:

Galatians 2:16 (NIV)
know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

Now let's take a look at Galatians 5:

1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?

8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.

9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”

10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty.

11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.

12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”


During His earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus didn't explicitly say that His followers were (or would be) free from the Law of Moses, but Paul did. Should we then disregard Paul (because he was a mere man) and stick with Jesus (because He is the son of God). By no means! Contrary to what most Christians believe, the words of the earthly Jesus don't take precedence over the words of Paul.

The teachings of the earthly Jesus were aimed at the Jews during the Old Covenant and the teachings of Paul were aimed at Christians during the New Covenant. We must take note that Paul's words are actually Jesus' words.

Galatians 1:11

11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

The only thing watered down in your little world is God’s grace because of your pious, works salvation theology.

I rest very comfortably in the saving grace of Jesus Christ which is afforded everyone who puts their complete faith in Him, and Him alone. Ahhh, the sweet taste of divine liberty and freedom. 😎🙏

You said this below in post 7063. "The New Covenant cannot be implemented until He returns because Jeremiah chapter 31 must be fulfilled." (RS)

So if we are not living in the New Covenant, then according to you, in which of God's Covenants are we living?

I`ve been addressing your accusaton in multiple posts this am already. I`m not going to start over now

Roger.

The olive tree being made up of the children of God which we have been grafted in By faith in Christ.

Is the weather hot where you are? At least you can see some bright side!

I asked which of God's Covenants we are living in now. I trust you will answer it.

The answer may be found in the events during the days of Hezekiah. II Kings 20:8-11

Are you pretending you don't know what you said?

You said it outright. There is no twisting that.

I just showed you, using the SAME scripture that you did, that you interpreted incorrectly.


I should probably be used to this by now.

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

The New Covenant is a contract that has closed. It is in the hands of Jesus waiting to be executed when He returns for His inheritence.
If you haven`t read my other posts you won`t understand what I mean by that. I`m going to go do something else for awhile.

1 Corinthians 13:2
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing

Just hope to remind you that none of these folks here injured your knee

Did you see post #7137. Something I thought might be interesting to you.

The New Covenant is not closed we are living in it now. It ends with the Second Coming of Christ.
