Bible Question: Can anyone tell me where in the New testament is says that we should not worry about following the laws in Exodus, like the eye for and eye thing? |
Bible Answer: Your question: "Can anyone tell me where in the New testament is says that we should not worry about following the laws in Exodus, like the eye for and eye thing?" I think it is not right if we mentioned that "we should not worry" but the right thing is "We must more aware of the "new commandments that given to us by Jesus Christ. AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. is considerable came from the teaching of moises which is followed by the people of Israel. It is include also in the law of Moses, other example of that kind of teaching that if you saw anyone do anyhting in the day of sabbath they will stone to death. This kind of law will not anymore justified us: Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. a 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. But this is not mean that we are not worry about the law. Jesus Christ gave us the two Great Commandments that will simplify every law of Moses: Mr 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 30. Mr 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. An example how Jesus Christ taught us of we careful of observing his Two Great Commandments. Joh 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Joh 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 5. Torrey Joh 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 7. Joh 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. Joh 8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. The sin committed by that woman is punishsable by death under the law of Moses. How about thou shall not kill it is also included under the ten commandments. If Jesus allows those people to stone that woman to death it is the same thing that He allow those people to disobey the law which is "Thou shall not Kill" law itself will contradict its own laws. But if you study the Two Great commandments there is no commandments will contradict itself. I hope it help. God bless, Johnny |
