Subject: Why do we ignore parts of Moses' laws? |
Bible Note: I find no evidence in God’s Word that suggest what you a claiming. You stated: “Under the New covenant the apostles were given the authority to interpret and change the law.” Is that some kind of a new revelation or just a different slant that you’re trying to establish? I think the following might straighten this up a little. Matthew 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. I would surmise that the previous verses would include the word “change” as well or is that being too presumptuous on my part? The binding and loosing that you quote in Matt. 16:19 is the fact that Peter knew who the Jesus was, and as the Messiah the Son of God He would open the way to heaven. i.e. Peter now had the key but he was forbidden to tell others “at that time”. Matthew 16:20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ. The only connection that the law has with Matt. 16:19 is the fact of being curse by it and Christ is the key to being set free from it. CDBJ |
