You're right, Paul is certainly referencing the ten commandments in 2 Corinthians. I would also posit that it is shorthand for all of God's Law. Paul mentions in the latter part of the chapter about "Moses being read" in connection with the covenant. Also, in Joshua 8:31-35, Joshua builds an...

Thanks for posting some teaching on the weekly parashah. Soon it will be Sukkot and once again time to rewind the scroll. Blessings!

I'll check out your new thread when it's up.

No, I am not claiming the ten commandments are a different covenant than the rest of the law. Initially, you quoted Deuteronomy 4:13 and asked if we're still under the old covenant. Are you asking if we're still obligated to obey the ten commandments? If so, what is your view?

Amen!

Fair enough. Scripture contains numerous covenants, beginning with Noah. The term "old covenant" appears once in all of the Bible (2 Corinthians 3). Christians belong to the new covenant, as prophesied and outlined primarily in Jeremiah 31.

Good question. As I replied to JohnB, if you'd like to converse about these things feel free to message me. My intention here wasn't to argue with anyone but to address the Sabbath question regarding microwave use. Btw...I like your profile pic. I used to have the Visual Bible Matthew on VHS.

My engagement here was in regard to the OP about using a microwave on the Sabbath. I'm new to Christian Chat. Perhaps you could private message me and we could have a discussion about these things? I would be happy to dialogue with you.

The Law includes things such as not committing murder, honoring the seventh day Sabbath, loving the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, loving your neighbor as yourself, returning your enemy's property if you see it unsecured (such as a wandering donkey). I am curious...

You're right, our Savior while on earth followed the Torah perfectly. As I stated, I am a Gentile disciple of Jesus. I stated that obeying the Sabbath commandment is an act of discipleship. It is not the only act of discipleship, but one of many that a believer can engage in. I do want to...

I, for one, am a Gentile.

Despite the comments from some people here seasoned with sarcasm or commandment cancelling/transformation, I would like to respond to you as a believer who celebrates the Biblical seventh day Sabbath/Shabbat. Ultimately, it will come down to conviction in the matter. In Jewish communities...

Thanks! Grace, peace, and joy to you as well.

Thanks!

Thanks and blessings to you as well!

LoL. Thanks for the welcome!

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to Christian Chat. Disciple of Jesus, husband, father. I love studying the Scriptures and, when reading the New Testament, endeavor to keep the historical, second Temple, Jewish context in mind. Looking forward to having positive discussions with fellow brothers...
