Subject: How do you feel about the Ten Commandmen

Bible Note: Ephesians 2:11-16
11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called " Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands –
12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
#1 The Law of commandments was a wall or partition (hostility/enmity) between Jews and non-Jews (Gentiles) TRUE!
#2 When Jesus gave his flesh (body) and shed His blood on the cross, He abolished the law of commandments that formerly had been a barrier between Jews and Gentiles. TRUE!
#3 All men (Jews and non-Jews) can now have peace with each other and with God through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, not through the Ten Commandments. True!
Romans 7:1-4
1 Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law ), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives ?
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living ; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress ; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
#1 Would it please God for a woman to have two husbands at the same time? No!
#2 Would it please God for a Christian to try to live by the Old Testament Law and the New Testament at the same time? No!
Romans 7:7
7 What shall we say then ? Is the Law sin ? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law ; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

#2 “You shall not covet.” Was one of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:17) TRUE!

6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
