BTW
Paul did expressly write concerning the ten commandments. He said the law engraved in stone is the letter that kills, the ministry of death and condemnation(2Cor3:6-9)
The problem with that interpretation is that it takes 2 Corinthians 3:6–9 out of its full context and then uses Paul to overturn the clear words of Jesus. let me explain and please read the full text, I spent some time to write it for you.
Jesus Himself, One with GOD said:
“If you would enter into life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:17
“If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.” John 14:15
Now look carefully at what Paul actually wrote:
“Who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory…” 2 Corinthians 3:6–7
Paul does not say that the Ten Commandments are evil, false, or abolished. He says that the covenant administration written on stone was a ministry of death because it revealed sin and condemned the sinner.
The commandments themselves are not the problem. Sin is the problem.
The Bible explains this very clearly:
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 John 3:4
Because all people have sinned, the law brings condemnation. That is why it is called a ministry of death: it exposes guilt.
Think of it like a mirror. A mirror shows the dirt on your face. The mirror did not make you dirty. It simply revealed the dirt that was already there. In the same way, the Ten Commandments reveal sin, but they do not create sin.
Jesus never taught that the commandments were abolished. Instead He said:
“Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matthew 5:17
“Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.” Matthew 5:18
“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19
The promise of the New Covenant is not that God removes His law, but that He places it within His people.
“I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it.” Jeremiah 31:33
The law moves from stone tablets to the heart of the believer.
That is the real contrast Paul is making in 2 Corinthians 3. The old administration was written on stone, revealed sin, and condemned the guilty. The new administration writes God's law on the heart, gives the Holy Spirit, forgives the repentant, and gives the power to obey. The contrast is not bad commandments versus no commandments. It is external law that condemns versus internal law empowered by the Spirit.
Even Paul himself says:
“Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.” Romans 3:31
So when Paul says that the law engraved on stone was a ministry of death, he is describing its role in condemning sinners. He is not saying that the Ten Commandments no longer exist or that Christians are free to ignore them. In fact, if that were his meaning, he would be directly contradicting Jesus, who said to keep the commandments, who said that loving Him means keeping His commandments, and who warned against teaching others to break even the least of God's commandments.
The law reveals sin; the Spirit gives power to obey God from the heart. Therefore, using 2 Corinthians 3 to abolish the Ten Commandments is taking Paul's words out of context and placing them in direct opposition to the plain teaching of Christ.
