1 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | jlpangilinan | 57839 | ||
Christ come not to abolished it. Yes that is right but Christ fulfill it with a deep meaning, He fulfill it not the same way of what the old testament people does. For example, in the law of moses, it is punisheable by death if you do works on sabbath, Christ do works on sabbath day, such us healing and other great works: Mt 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. Mr 2:23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. If we say that Christ is breaking the by doing those things mentions, did He imprudent and contradict His statement in Matt. 5:17 Jesus Christ gave us the two commandments to love God with all thy heart, soul, strenght and love our nieghboors as thyself! if we observe this two commandments there is no single teaching of law we are going to disobey. Christ Himself make an example to us how to observe the commandments, He want us to follow His example. If we remember when the scribes take a woman accused of adultery, adultery is punisheable by death under the law of moses but Christ did not allow them to kill the woman by stone. Joh 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. Thou shall not kill indeed is in the law! So if we follow the example of Christ of observing the commandments we are not abolishing the law but fulfilling it with a deep meaning. God bless, Johnny |

2 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | beensetfree | 57863 | ||
Matt 5:17 and Eph 2:15 work in concert with one another. Jesus came to fulfill the law. If we are under Christ's headship, we still have an obligation through service to obey the law. The "enmity" Paul speaks of is "sin" which has been abolished by Christ's fulfillment of the law...being the utlimate guilt sacrifice. Scripture always verifies scripture. | ||||||
3 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | billk | 57912 | ||
"If we are under Christ's headship, we still have an obligation through service to obey the law" There is no "obligation" or duty of obedience (for any reason) after Jesus's death... he fulfilled that TOTALLY with his blood. Now, walking by the sprit, is how we obey, not thru obligation. If we feel "obligated" we will slowly learn to hate the law. Walking in the Sprit, we will slowly, over time, learn to love the law... and thus, obey...out of love not obligation Galations 5:18--- "If you led by the sprit you are not under law" Those two clauses are mutually exclusive...you can't have both at once. Each person needs to make a coice... obligation... or...... what's the best word(s)?.... total dependence??? |

4 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | kalos | 57915 | ||
You write: 'There is no "obligation" or duty of obedience (for any reason) after Jesus's death.' Oh, good. Now we can run wild. We have no obligations or duties under grace. No duty of obedience? Terrific. Now we don't have to obey God any more. We are "free" to disobey. |

5 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | billk | 57934 | ||
Kalos I Didn’t say a word about Grace... that wasn’t the point. Dependence on God’s strength and not our own was. Obeying because of an obligation and duty to obey has to result in spiritual pride. It’s too fleshy of a motive... it invites comparison to others. Now if someone said we obey because of pure Thanks and appreciation to the lord for his amazings gifts to us .... that I would agree with. |
