Bible Note: Hi again ovadyah: Keep and Teach or Abolished/Annulled? Is that question being asked in relation to how, we as Christians should look at the Law? When you say Law do you mean the 10 commandments, or the whole law? Why does Paul say Christ abolished His Father's Law when Christ states: 1.)That's not why I came(Mt.5:17-19) 2.)We shouldn't loosen any commandment(Mt.5:17-19) 3.)We should keep the commandments(Mt.5:17-19) 4.)We should teach others to keep them (Mt.5:17-19) Paul says what he did, because he is talking to Spiritual Beings, not Fleshly Beings, if you have been Born Again. The abolishing of the Law only applys to believers, through Faith, we have fulfilled the Law through Christ. Rom. 7:4 4) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Rom. 7:6 6) But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; (THAT WE SHOULD SERVE IN NEWNESS OF SPIRIT), and not in the oldness of the letter. Jer. 31:33 33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. This is what has happened to us as believers. The plan, and the opperation to fulfill that plan of redemption was God's doing, not Man's. God, and God alone chose how he would accomplish this for us So if it says, in Eph. 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Then we have no other choice but to believe the inspired word of God. Gal. 4:4,5 4) But when the fulness of the time was come, (GOD sent forth his Son), made of a woman, made under the law, 5) (To redeem them that were under the law), that we might receive the adoption of sons.
