2 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | orthodoxy | 6641 | ||
Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that Christ fulfilled the entire Law by his atoning work. But the Law has never been the way of salvation. It has always pointed to Christ. But no in the sense that it still does apply to us, _through Christ_ as a manifestation of God's character. So even though we no longer stone for adultery (might not be a bad idea though), we can still learn at least the following things from Mosaic discourse on the subject: 1) God deems it as worthy of temporal execution, so the state would do well to affix penalties to marital unfaithfulness; 2) since execution has been replaced with excommunication, the church should not be squeemish about excommunicating for it; 3) extra-marital sex is more serious than pre-marital sex (not the death penalty for the former, but less than that for the latter); 4) there are clearly defined limits to acceptable sexual behavior. It must be remembered that these commands have nothing whatsoever to do with justification, but everything to do with sanctification. We are called to obedience, and we know how to obey by examining the Law through the lens of Christ. |

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. |

I John 3:23 says "This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us." John 15:12: This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you." See Romans 13:9-10. (love is the fullfillment of the law). The ten commandments, and all the law, is useful for instruction. (2Tim 3:16). It is our tutor to Christ (Gal 3:24). Colleen PS Galatians 5:3 says that if we receive circumcision (depend on part of the law for righteousness) we are under obligation to keep the _whole_ Law. That would include sacrifices. But we know that Christ is the final sacrifice (Hebrews 10:14). |
