You ask: "shouldn't I strive to keep the Law of Moses today?" Yes, we should strive to KEEP the commandments, but no one has authorized us to ENFORCE the keeping of the commandments by others. In Matthew 5:17-19 (ESV) Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. [18] For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. [19] Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." According to Jesus, we should do them and teach them. Nevertheless, the church has no authority to enforce the death penalty when the law is broken. Our concern as individual believers should be to keep the commandments ourselves and not to act as judge, jury and policeman, going around punishing lawbreakers. James 4:11-12 (ESV) Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. [12] There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? |

Kalos, Law is not made for the righteous, but is rather made for sinners. Do you consider yourself as being in this category? 1 Timothy 1 8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

Kalos, And for what duration are you accounted to be a sinner? 1 Timothy 1 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers (NAS95) Proverbs 28 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But those who keep the law strive with them. (NAS95) Proverbs 29 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. (KJV) Ezekiel 44 23 "Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. (NAS95) Malachi 3 18 So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |
