1 | ... | Eph 2:15 | Val | 211206 | ||
I believe you will find part of your answers in the book of Hebrews. The law is defined in the book of Hebrews as a system of worship, a way to approach God. It contrasts the earthly tabernacle and the heavenly tabernacle. It shows how Jesus brought in by His sacrifice, a perfect sacrifice, only offered one time by his death and resurrection. It abolished the animal sacrifices. The animal sacrifices and the furniture represents Jesus. For instance; the showbread/Jesus is the bread of life, the lampstand or menorah/Jesus is the light of the world. It is a beautiful picture of the better covenant aka the New Covenant. When a person believes, has faith in what Jesus has done at the cross and His finished work that person is sealed with the Holy Spirit who helps him have power over sin and walk in obedience to Christ. We still gain insight from the first five books of the bible as to what pleases God, i.e., His moral expectations. We have direction as to what is immorality and how to treat one another, i.e., don't steal,kill,covet, etc. Breaking the law in one point breaks the whole law and brings the curse of death. Christ broke that curse with His one sacrifice so that we are no longer under a curse of death. People who do not believe, have faith in Jesus are still under the curse of the law which is death. Hope this helps. Val | ||||||

Val, I totally agree in that his atonement has abolished the curse of the law not it's moral guidelines. That is the job of the false Christ who will usher in Lawlessness. We can't repent from Sin(breaking God's Law) and then willfully continuing breaking God's Law and claim that our faith abolishes morality(Rom.3:31). Our faith in fact produces good works(james 2) |

1. Read Hebrews 10:26-31. Read it through and then examine it in light of the “5 W’s and an H.” Write out your insights. 2. Read the book of Hebrews and note the warnings in Hebrews. 3. How does this warning in Hebrews 10:26-31 compare with the previous warnings in Hebrews. 4. Do you see any parallels between this warning (Hebrews 10:26-31) and the one in Hebrews 2:1-4? If so, what are they? 5. Can you see any parallels between the way the author of Hebrews deals with the recipients of his letter in Hebrews 6:1-12 and Hebrews 10:26-39? If so, what are they? 6. In Hebrews 10:26-29 the author tells what happens when a person goes on sinning willfully. A) Read Numbers 15:22-31. In this Old Testament passage you see the difference between unintentional sin and defiant sin. What do you learn from this passage, and how does it compare with Hebrews 10:26-29? B) “Go on sinning” is a present active participle. What insight does this give you? C. In your own words, explain what is happening in Hebrews 10:29. 7. Once again, in Hebrews 10:30-31, the author reminds his readers of the character of God; he again quotes the Old Testament. A) Read Deuteronomy 32:35-36 and note how the author quotes from the song of Moses. B) Read Psalm 145:20 and write it out. C) Note the reference to “the living God” in Hebrews 3:12. Why this designation for God? What does the author want his readers to see, to recognize, to realize? 8. Lastly see what your commentaries have to say on Hebrews 10:26:31. This is what mine said; 10:26 The law promised forgiveness for sins of ignorance, but willful sins had no remedy. As believers we have assurance that “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins (1 John 1:9A). Willful sins can receive divine forgiveness, but people involved in these sins often fail to seek God’s forgiveness by repentance. Sin being talked about is a deliberate rejection of the truth of the gospel. If the readers left Christ for Judaism, they would show that they had never responded in faith to Christ. 10:28-29 These words show an attitude toward Jesus as antagonism , despising Christ’s work, arrogant rejection of the truth which the Holy Spirit tried to communicate about Jesus. These words were for professing Christians. Any who turned from Christ could expect divine judgment and eternal rejection. 10:30-31 Judgment would be a frightening experience. The anticipation of judgment by the living God should fill sinners with dread (Heb 12:29) 9. This study that I am in right now is Precepts Upon Precepts Part 2. These questions are taken from that study. The commentary in number 8 is taken from Holman New Testament Commentary Hebrews and James General Editor Max Anders, Author Thomas D. Lea. 10. If you will research this in the order given you will be amazed what the Holy Spirit will teach you. Of course the first step is to pray. Hope this helps. Blessings, Val |

4 | ... | Eph 2:15 | ovadyah | 211220 | ||
Val, What does the Holman commentary state about Mt.5:17-19? It is interesting that the greek word for "setting aside" the law of Moses in heb10:29 is ATHETEO which according to Thayer's at biblestudytools.net means- to do away with, to set aside, disregard to thwart the efficacy of anything, nullify, make void, frustrate to reject, to refuse, to slight And in agreement is Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains-REJECT, REGARD AS INVALID. Anyone who regarded God's Law as invalid had no means of atonement/sacrifice for their willful disobedience. If I regard God's law, which the author quotes, as invalid(Cf.Mt.5:17-19,Rom.8:7)I have no hope, and vice-versa if I regard Christ's atonement as invalide or REJECT it for my own rules how much more severe I will be treated. It's a little lengthy but the United Bible Society's Handbook for Translator's states: This apparently simple verse presents a surprising number of translation problems. The verb translated disobeys has a range of meanings from “declare invalid,” as in 7.18, to “reject.” The word for disobeys is a strong word, used not of incidental sins, but of breaking the whole covenant (Ezek 22.26), for example, by idolatry (Deut 17.2–7), false prophecy (Deut 18.20), or blasphemy (Lev 24.13–16). In order to emphasize the willful disobedience involved in disobeys, it may be well to translate the first part of verse 28 as “Anyone who refuses to obey the laws given through Moses” or “If a person refuses to obey the Law of Moses.” The main verb, meaning is put to death or “dies,” is in the present tense. It is uncertain whether, even before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, Jewish courts had the legal right to inflict the death penalty. People were sometimes lynched, as in Acts 7.57–60, but that is a different matter. The writer is generally more interested in the earlier history of Israel than in current events. Here he is concerned with what the Law demanded, not with how it was applied in his own time. In any case, the verb for is put to death is part of a free quotation. It may therefore be better to translate is put to death as “was put to death.” In some instances, however, it may be necessary to change the passive is put to death into an active form, and therefore to introduce “the authorities” or “the officials”; for example, “the authorities put him to death” or “the officials executed him.” The phrase without any mercy may be expressed in some languages as an entirely separate clause; for example, “they did not at all show mercy” or “they did not think twice when they put him to death.” The witnesses should not be emphasized in this verse, but will come into focus in 12.1. When judged guilty from the evidence of two or more witnesses may best be expressed as a conditional clause; for example, “if two or more witnesses gave evidence against the person and as a result he was judged guilty.” It may be necessary in some languages to specify what was involved in being witnesses; for example, “if two or more persons saw what the man did and told about it, and if then the man was judged to be guilty.” Hebrews 10.28.

5 | ... | Eph 2:15 | Val | 211228 | ||
I do not have Matthew in the Holman Edition. I do have Matthew by H.A. Ironside. Regarding these verses Matthew 5:17-30 Ironside says: In verses 17 to 30 we see how our Lord applied the precepts of the law, neither ignoring them nor belittling them, but showing that there is a deeper meaning in it all than is seen on the surface. It is that which, rightly applied, makes manifest man’s utter helplessness and inability to keep its holy precepts in his nature state. Let us notice with care what Jesus taught as to this (Ironside has you read verses 17-30 and then continues his commentary) “I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” This our Lord did in three ways: by His perfect obedience He magnified the law and made it honorable (Isa.42:21); by His death He met all its claim against the lawbreakers, and so He becomes the end of the law for righteousness to all who believe (Rom. 10:4); by His Spirit He enables believers to fulfil the righteous requirements of the law (Rom. 8:4) “One jot or one tittle.” The jot is the yodh, the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The title is a little mark indicating a slight change in the meaning of a letter. Our Lord’s words indicate the perfection of Holy Scripture. “Whosoever…shall break one of these least commandments.” That is, anyone who ignores the divine authority of God’s revealed will by loosening the moral effect of His commands, so as to make men careless of their obligations to Him, shall be esteemed as of no worth in His kingdom. “Except your righteousness shall exceed.” The scribes and Pharisees were extreme legalists and trusted in their own righteousness, but had not submitted to the righteousness of God (Rom. 10:3) The righteousness God accepts is of a higher character. This higher righteousness is suggested in the verses that follow. The law forbade murder. Jesus shows that unreasonable anger is, in itself, a violation of the spirit of the commandment. “Thou shalt not kill.” It is as a result of such a condition of mind that murder is committed. To use vile invectives against another is the manifestation of the hatred which causes men to kill, and therefore places one in danger even of hell-fire. To profess to be a worshiper of God while willfully wronging another or cherishing malice in the heart is obnoxious to God. Let him who comes to His altar with a gift first seek out the brother he has wronged and then draw near to sacrifice. Nor should one permit a spirit of antagonism toward another to continue if it is within his power to come to agreement; for sin never dies of old age, but becomes worse as time goes on. Many a one has suffered severely because of what might easily have been cleared up if he had given heed to these words. Hope this helps, Val |
