Subject: Romans 7:1-4 |
Bible Note: First of all your answer was useless, Read the question again I said where in the New Testament is the 4th commandment found? Not the Old Testament. You seem to not understand what the word fulfilled means, Look it up, the old law including the ten Commandments were completed, finished , of no more use. Why because the New Testament was a much better Law. And In the New Testament 9 of the 10 commandments were re-instated with the exception of the 4th commandment which was to keep the Sabbath . You cannot worship two different Laws at the same time. Paul clearly argues, in his letter to the Ephesians, that the “law of commandments contained in ordinances” was “abolished” by the death of Jesus upon the cross (2:14-15). The Greek term for “abolished” is katargeo, literally suggesting the idea of reducing something to a state of inactivity. Paul uses this term twice in Romans 7:2,6 — showing that just as a wife is “discharged” from the law of her husband when he dies, even so, through the death of the body of Christ, men were “discharged” from the obligations of the Mosaic law. That the law here contemplated is the law of Moses, including the ten commandments, is demonstrated by the reference to the tenth commandment in Romans 7:7 (cf. Ex. 20:17). |
