Hi, Moses brought down the 10 commandments [Exodus20] and the Laws as enumerated in Exodus21 more than 2000 years ago.Living conditions, life style,human behavior and etc,etc.have since changed considerably. Thus, how relevant are these Laws to the present time? Maybe, some of these can be considered as obsolete! Your comments, please. With Love in Christ. FytRobert |

FytRobert, Let's put your question in personal perspective. Is it now ok for me to kill you, bear false witness against you, commit adultery with your wife or lust after your wife and property? Are those commandments obsolete? And is it obsolete to worship God and use his name in vain or to worship idols or false Gods? If we fail to worship God and acknowledge His authority over our lives, why should we even consider His other commandments regarding how we relate to our neighbors? I do not believe human behavior has changed at all in the past 4,000 years. Emmaus |

Hi Emmaus, Thank you for your response to my question which is appended hereunder for ease of reference. "Moses brought down the 10 commandments[Exodus20] and the Laws as enumerated in Exodus 21 more than 2000 years ago.Living conditions,life style,human behavour and etc,etc have since changed considerably. Thus, how relevant are these Laws to the present time? Maybe some of these can be considered obsolete!" Repeat- some of the Laws only!To illustrate my point, I quote a couple of examples: 1.Exodus21:15 Anyone who attacks his father or mother must be put to death. 2.21:16 Anyone who kidnaps another-----must be put to death. 3.21:17 Anyone who curseshis father or mother must be put to death. Are these Laws still relevant to present time? Your comments are invited. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

While the capital crimes in the Law may have different punishments today, God didn't change His mind. | ||||||

Hi Emmaus, Thanks for your prompt reply but regretably,you are off the mark.In my question, there is no inkling at all as to whether God has changed His mind.My question was simple and direct.Are some of the Laws which were pronounced 2000 years plus ago are still relevant to-day? With your vast knowledge of the Bible and of the world, I am inclined to believe that you will be able to throw some light on this matter. With love in Christ. FytRobert |
