Bible Note: Hank: We are all free to add "notes" or pose "questions". I welcome your responses but let us try to keep it to scriptural issues. This was your first comment on this string and it is all about me. I would rather discuss issues and if you are not interested I would look somewhere else in the forum to make your comments. I feel my comments fall within the guidelines. But we all have our own opinion. Here is a question: Do you think God - Himself (Ex.31:18)- writing the 10 commandments on the (2) tablets has any correlation to the 10 commandments being summarized by Jesus into (2) broad commandments. The commandments written by God regarding our relationship to Him on 1 tablet and the commandments written by God regarding our relationship to our neighbours written on 1 tablet. The point here is the NT does not re-invent the law but instead repeats the moral law (10 comm.) of the OT. Is.42:21 clearly says Christ would magnify the law. And Ps. 40:7,8 says Jesus delights to do the will of God and thy law is within Jesus's heart. That is why He led a Perfect life on earth and therefore died a sinless man and paying our debt. The law written on our hearts as part of the NT covenant is the same as the law written on Jesus's heart. This is the 10 commandments. The same moral law Abraham was keeping (Gen. 26:5) prior to any written law at Sinai. Look forward to your comments. In love, Merv |
