The Law Of Moses

[Mikeyjay]

Man... why are we so focused on the 'LAW' should we not be more focused on the 'SPIRIT and PROMISE' of God???

The Apostle Paul states:

Galatians 3

Justification by Faith

Thankyou mikeyjay. The Law is not void, of course...but the purpose of the Law was never salvation but to point towards the Saviour Himself. The Saviour has come... let's walk in Him now, not the Law. If we walk in Jesus, trust me, the Law will be fulfilled. The Law of spirit and truth.

God bless.

because the Law is Truth it is important that we as Followers of the originator of truth follow the Law by faith/in spirit.

A men, Mikeyjay!

There are a few denominations that are looking to the Old Covenant and haven't realized the blessing of rest in Christ.

Are they any less saved? Not if they aren't looking to those laws for salvation and are instead looking to Jesus. But, they do place unnecessary burdens upon themselves that Christ has not placed there.

Christ is the end of the law for everyone who believes.

Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

I'm not gonna debate this as people don't seem to wanna listen. However, your interpretation of Romans 10:4 is no good.

From http://www.yashanet.com/studies/romstudy/text10a.htm

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

This is perhaps the most horribly translated verse in the "New Testament," and appears this way in almost every edition of Christian Bibles. The phrase "end of the law" should be translated along the lines of, "goal of the Torah," based on what Paul has been discussing to this point. The word "end" in verse 4, is telos in the Greek. Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (which is incidentally, a "Protestant" work), correctly states that telos in Romans 10:4, should be defined as, "the final issue or result of a state or process."

Christian translators have instead inserted the ambiguous phrase, "end of the law," to lend support to the false view that Paul taught that the Torah was done away with by Yeshua's work. Some, such as the New English Bible, go as far as saying, "For Christ ends the law and brings righteousness for everyone who has faith."1

Faith in Yeshua does not end the "law" (Romans 3:31, Matthew 5:17-21). Paul has already said in his letter that the Torah witnesses to the righteousness of God. The context of the entire Romans letter to this point and forward, is that if a person was/is following Torah in faith, that person will recognize Yeshua as the Messiah as He is the Torah in the flesh -- the goal of the Torah.

This sounds to me like the "ye shall not surely die" You quoted the scriputre which glaringly shows how you changed its meaning.

The Scripture reads: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Yet you eliminated one word, you took away from this passage and made a whole different meaning.

Christ is the end of the law for everyone who believes.

Following the Laws of G-d brought righteousness, now believing in the one whom they pointed to brings that same righteousness. This does not nullify the law, else you can still believe in Jesus and Buddah, Krishna, Allah, and any other god you want and still go to heaven.

thankyou, thankyou...if anyone reads the NT in honesty...how could anyone still hold to the belief that a believer in Christ must obey the Law??? I don't see that anywhere. The NT Law is one of faith. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

God bless.
