1 | The Law of Moses has been abrogated | Matt 5:17 | koscheiman | 172527 | ||
Many when reading Matt 5:17 believe that the law of Moses is still in force because of these verses, but what exactly do they say? Think not that the purpose I came for was to abolish or abrogate the Law or the prophets but rather He came to fulfill. Did Christ fulfill the Law? Yes He did in two ways. 1. By fulfilling all prophecy pertaining to Him 2. By living a perfect life according to the Law Because of this fulfillment or accomplisment the Law of Moses (all the Law including the 10 commandments) have been abrogated. The verse following this one states that not one jot or tittle will pass away till all be fulfilled or accomplished. |

Antinomian: a.) Denial of the binding nature of any external laws on personal behavior, b.) Denial that the OT moral law remains in effect for Christians. --Data Rat Theological Terms Antinomian: Literally, against the law. Antinomians teach that the law is no longer applicable in the life of the Christian. (see "Legalism"). --Dictionary of Theological Terms, Don Matzat Antinomy is derived from the two Greek words anti meaning "over against" and nomos meaning "law." An antinomian is one who denies that there is any objective law or standard of obedience in the New Testament age to which the believer is accountable. --Revised Common Lectionary, Anglican Church "If the 'grace' you have received does not help you to keep the law, you have not received grace." --Dr. M. Lloyd-Jones "It is particularly noteworthy that sins which contravene the law (as breaches of the Ten Commandments) are also contrary to the sound doctrine of the gospel. So the moral standards of the gospel do not differ from the moral standards of the law. We must not therefore imagine that, because we have embraced the gospel, we may now repudiate the law! To be sure, the law is impotent to save us, and we have been released from the law's condemnation, so that we are no longer 'under' it in that sense. But God has sent His Son to die for us, and now puts His Spirit within us, in order that the righteous requirements of the law may be fulfilled in us. There is no antithesis between law and gospel in the moral standards which they teach; the antithesis is in the way of salvation, since the law condemns, while the gospel justifies." --John R. W. Stott "What is the relation of the Law to the saint? Three answers have been given. First, that sinners become saints by obeying the Law. Second, that the Law is a rule of life for believers. Third, that the Law has nothing whatever to do with believers today. Those who give the first answer teach that the Law defines what God requires from man, and therefore man must keep it in order to be accepted by God. Those who give the second answer teach that the Law exhibits a standard of conduct, and that while this Old Testament standard receives amplification in the New, yet the latter does not set aside the former. Those who give the third answer teach that the Law was a yoke of bondage, grievous to be borne, and that it has been made an end of so far as Christians are concerned. The first answer is Legalism pure and simple: salvation by works; the second, relates to true Christian liberty; the third, is Antinomianism - lawlessness, a repudiation of God's governmental authority. The first view prevailed generally through the Medieval Ages, when Popery reigned almost supreme. The second view prevailed generally during the time of the Reformers and Puritans. The third view has come into prominence during the last century, and now is the popular belief of our day." --A. W. Pink |
