1 | Which commandments are we to keep? | Matt 22:34 | ntjenkins | 71467 | ||
This is a tough question -- I have always considered what Jesus refers to as the two greatest commandments (love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, mind; love your neighbor as yourself) as those to which our Lord refers. A common response to this is usually something along the lines of "but what about the other 613 laws in the Old Testament, including the Ten Commandments?" Jesus provides us with the answer to such a question in Matthew 22:40 when he says "all of the law hangs on these two commandments." If those two commandments are fulfilled, the natural following of that will be that every single detail of every commandment will be fulfilled; this, however, is impossible, unless we confess the Lordship of Christ and claim His words, life, trial, death, and resurrection to be true. Only then can we allow the two greatest commandments (and thereby all other commandments) to be fulfilled BY Christ THROUGH us. I hope this helps. | ||||||
2 | Are the Ten Commandments a Covenant | Matt 22:34 | rferg | 71471 | ||
Are you saying then commandments the bible is reffering to is the Ten Commandments? The first 4 teach us to love God and the last 6 teac us to love our neighbor. All the law would hang on these two commandments? Wasn't the Ten Commandments a Covenant? Many covenants from the OT are still in effect, such as the Rainbow. Could this covenant still be in effect? | ||||||
3 | Are the Ten Commandments a Covenant | Matt 22:34 | Searcher56 | 71487 | ||
This subject has been discussed before ... Most think the OT Law, inclucding the Ten Commandments is no longer in effect, in particular the fourth. It is a Covenant (Exo 24:7, 34:10, 27, 28; Deu 4:13, 5:2, 9:9-15) Even though ... Exodus 31:16 says "The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a LASTING covenant." (Lev 24:8) and we Gentiles are grafted into Israel (Rom 11:11-24). One day we will learn if it was correct to not keep the Sabbath holy. Searcher |
