1 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | mark d seyler | 146104 | ||
Thank you, Kalos. I haven't heard that view of this verse before. I had understood the "handwritten dogma" to refer to the tablets of stone. We could never keep them, so they were against us as an accusator. Do others on this forum agree with Michael Morrison's view? But to follow up on my original question, I have read posts that say parts of the Mosaic Law were fulfilled by Christ, (i.e. the ceremonial, or sacrificial), and other parts were left to stand. Does anyone have a comment on this? |

The Law under the New Covenant AMPLIFIED Matthew 5:19 Whoever then breaks or does away with or relaxes one of the least [important] of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven, but he who practices them and teaches others to do so shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. According to the logic of some, when Jesus said "I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill," what He meant was: I did not come to abolish, but to abolish. Such folks say they agree that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law. But then they define the word "fulfill" to mean "abolish" or its equivalent. The result, according to them, is that Jesus must be contradicting Himself, since what He means is: "I did not come to abolish, but to abolish (their definition of the word fulill). "Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua (Jesus) at his first coming fulfilled the Torah (Law), so that we don't have to do so (THE LOGIC LEADING TO THIS CONCLUSION IS UNCLEAR);..." (David H. Stern, "Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel", 1988, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc.) The Law under the New Covenant 'The law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability. "All Scripture is … useful" (2 Tim 3:16-17), including Old Testament laws. Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17-20). The law is the embodiment of truth that instructs (Rom 2:18-19). It is "holy" and "spiritual," making sin known to us by defining it; therefore, Paul delights in it (Rom 7:7-14,22). The law is good if used properly (1 Tim 1:8), and is not opposed to the promises of God (Gal 3:21). Faith does not make the law void, but the Christian establishes the law (Rom 3:31), fulfilling its requirements by walking according to the Spirit (Rom 8:4) through love (Rom 13:10).'

3 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | kw5kw | 146209 | ||
I agree with you, here is just another look at: The Ten Commandments Exodus 20 Jesus did not overthrow the Law of Moses. Remember what Jesus Said: Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Here are The Ten Commandments as pulled from Exodus 20 and compared to what Jesus and Paul said in the New Testament. 1. Exo 20:3 No other gods before me: Matthew 4:10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 2 Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (idols): Paul said: 1Co 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 3 Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: Jesus said: Mar 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 4. Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. : Jesus said: Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day. 5. Exo 20:12 Honor thy father and mother: Jesus said: Mat 19:19 Honor thy father and thy mother 6. Exo 20:13 Thou shalt not kill: Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt do no murder, 7. Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery: Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt not commit adultery 8. Exo 20:15 Thou shalt not steal : Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt not steal 9. Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. : Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt not bear false witness, 10. Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. : Romans 13:9 Paul said: Thou shalt not covet. Therefore the 10 Commandments are still with us today in full effect, either in the old covenant or the new one, they are still in effect. Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Russ |
