Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

Personally, I think that the things mentioned at the Jerusalem Council for the gentiles to do was a capitulation and not meant for doctrine. I just don't think that it was a Spirit lead decision.

1 Corinthians 6:12
“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.”

1 Corinthians 10:23
“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.”

[Cough] What? Do you still have that page in your Bible with 2nd Tim 3:16? And.. [head shaking] the Jerusalem council were NOT lead of the Spirit?

There is nothing whatsoever like YHVH Himself dictating the law here bro. Not even close.
Just some homespun solid Jewish advice about clean living is all.....

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. Naturally I've read and believe the same Scripture that you've quoted, but that isn't answering my question. I'll try another way. Christ observed the Lord's Passover with His disciples (Luke 22). During the Passover Christ said that He will eat the Passover again when it is fulfilled in the Kingdom. If Christ revealing Himself as the Passover Lamb necessarily ends the observance of the Lord's Passover then why does Christ intend to observe it again?

Upon review, these ordinances are recapitulations from Leviticus. Therefore, yes, they are in a sense "laws" per se.
However, we are not "under the law" as were the Israelites.
They were required to be obedient to be saved.
We are saved to be obedient.

Lev 19:26
Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

Lev 26:1
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Exactly as i said, the truth about circumcision leaves 2 possible conclusions - and you chose that "jots and tittles are being removed from the Law all the time" - going further, that they are also added to the Law.

Rendering Matthew 5:18 null, in your position.

Has then all been fulfilled?

It would seem that the Passover meal will be re-enacted in the future Kingdom of God. But we do not know enough about this.

Its all straining gnats and counting mint and rue as far as I can tell.

But no worries.....we are the Kings kids.

Rom 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Rom 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Rom 8:16
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Sooo, the Law IS the standard for righteousness for God's people in the past and in the future, but just not now?

"All things are lawful for me" literally means Paul considered the Law in all that he did. For example, do you believe it was lawful (ie. permissible [sic]) for Paul to commit sodomy? Paul didn't (Acts 25:8).

Sooo, the Law IS the standard for righteousness for God's people in the past and in the future, but just not now?

Ex 19 - God promised to make Israel a nation of priests if they obeyed. The people agreed to the covenant that they would obey the voice of God.

Ex 20 - 3 days later, the covenant was ratified in blood and the voice spoke the commandments, but people couldn't bear to hear the voice.

Ex 20-23 - So the judgments are spoken to Moses.

Ex 24:1-3 - Moses tells all the judgments to the people and they agree to obey.

Ex 24:7 - Moses reads "all the words in the book of the covenant" and again the people agreed to obey. All the words of the covenant are the commandments and judgments. No sacrificing was mentioned. Look it up. Blood is sprinkled on the people. Ratified.

Ex 24:12-13 - Moses is told to come to get the tablets of stone and the law to teach the people.

Ex 25-31 - Instructions for the tabernacle, a priesthood, and purifying the altar/blood, as well as the tablets are given to Moses so that God can dwell among the people.

----

Note: At this point, the book was completed, the law was completed, and the tablets were completed. No offering for sin & iniquity was ever mentioned. No works to remedy sin & iniquity were mentioned. [Font color added by responder].

The Law of Christ. You have never heard of it?
Gal 6:2
Rom 8:2
Rom 10:4
Gal 2:16
Gal 2:21
Gal 5:4
Phl 3:9

Perhaps it might be helpful to remind you that our focus today is on the Way of Salvation, who is Jesus. Today our focus is on a Man, not a religion. This Man is Jesus. Today our focus is on a relationship, not an ancient code of does and don'ts. The OT Law can teach us some things, but I pray that it will not be a distracting stumbling block for yourself and others.

John 14:6
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Praise be to God....I believe that once you are saved and you walk with God, you do not try to keep the law for the one who fulfilled the law is inside you...from there it's faith and always seeking grace and mercy

Amen! But which law are we talking about? The moral law? Yes. The mosaic law? Certainly not. Such was given to the nation of Israel only, which is not for today. If it was, children not born of lawful marriage would have a problem...
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 23:2

Remember, we cannot pick and choose...

Thanks. I thought you might say that. Since your misuse of those Scriptures has already been adequately addressed I will ignore your response.

What I'm asking for here is for the antinomians to explain the logic behind a supposed temporary abolition of God's Law. If, as Paul says, it is Holy, just, and good, then what do you propose is God's purpose in getting rid of it only to bring it back again later?
