The Ten Commandments have not been done away with, they have been added to. Have you not read that Jesus added anger to the command against murder, He added lust to the command against adultery. When Jesus said to keep His commands, He referred primarily to His personal choice for #1 and #2, love God and love your neighbor. We cannot love the Father if we do not know the Father, and it is in the old testament where the Father is fully revealed. Read about His relationship with Israel in good times and bad, and compare it to His relationship with the Christian church today. Read of His relationships with individuals, from Hagar to Moses, from Rahab to David, and learn how He will relate with us. Read the Psalms and learn about worship and praise(Psalm 145 is especially good). Read Isaiah just because it is so good. In it we learn of the holiness of God(Chpt 6), of His plan of salvation for both Israel(44) and all of mankind(53). We learn what the Father really wants in a godly lifestyle (58). So study the Old Testament to learn to know and to love God the Father. Read the New Testament to learn to love your neghbor, which cannot be done if we do not tell him about Jesus and the way of salvation. | ||||||

Dear reasnerm, Could you clarify your response regarding the 10 Commandments, specifically where you say" they have been added to"? I'm not sure I follow. Jesus most definitely intensifies the law in the Sermon on the Mount to show that it was not the letter of the law that mattered, but what was in their hearts.The Apostle Paul reaffirms Christs'command to love your neighbor in Gal 5:14, yet he also states prior that "all the law is fulfilled in this".(Matt.22:36-40) Also, how do we reconcile with Gal.3:23-24, Rom 6:14,10:4, and Heb.10:1-4? Yours In Christ, BradK |
