Bible Question: If Christians are not under the law of the ten commandments why did Christ keep repeating them and in 2 JOHN 1:6 And this is love ,that we walk after his commandment, that, as ye have heard from from the beginning, ye should walk in it. seems like people has problems with statutes ordinances, and judgments. |
Bible Answer: we are not under the law of moses or the 10 commandments... because the law of moses cannot 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. Jesus Christ clearly taught that the 10 commandments or the law of Moses is not applicable to Christian. Mt 5:21 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: Mt 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. in the time of Moses person has to kill before he transgress the law of "thou shall not kill" or the 10 commandments. in Christ teaching whosoever call his brethren "raca" shall be in danger of fire... aside from that under the 10 commandments there should be enough witnesses before you can condemn someone of transgressions. De 17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. under the teaching of Christ it is between you and God. For example the commandments of adultery in the old testament it has to be committed before you can be condemn of transgressions of the law. under the teaching of Christ person can be committed adultery even in the lust of the eye... Mt 5:27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: Mt 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. no need for witnesses... again it is between you and God. Jesus Christ gave us the 2 new commandments: 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. 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. Now let me ask you some questions... what is it in the 10 commandments that is not included in these 2 new commandments if we follow the new? Thank you... |
