1 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | CoolRob | 13028 | ||
I have a question. When Jesus said we are to keep His commandments, was he referring to the 10 commandments, the 613 commandments, or the commandments that He gave in the gospels ? ** I ask this question because the commandments that Jesus gave in the gospels encompass the 10 commandments. |

With respect to the 613 precepts (or commandments) which include the Ten Words (or Ten Commandments) the Jewish people as a whole have never observed them all as tenets applicable to every individual. Among these precepts are those only applicable to the High Priest, some only to the priests, then some only to Levites, then some only to Israelites and among the Israelites some only applicable to men and some only applicable to women and then strangers or non Israelites. If you read some of the so-called 613 laws you find that they are simply expansions of the 10--for instance, they might have 5-6 that just deal with the first commandment. What Jesus was getting at was the principle that is behind the law--our motivation for obeying should be love; that is, if you truly love your neighbor and God with all your heart, mind and strength then you won't do anything that is contrary to the mere words of the law. That is why Paul could say that love is the fulfillment of the law. |
