Tell me if you think I left anything out. What commandments must be kept by New Testament Christians, compared to the Old Testament Jewish laws that don't need to be kept anymore in the New Covenant. There are something like 1,500 commandments given to the body of Christ in the New Testament. Plenty to keep us busy!! Can I please have a list of them? If possible, the verses to prove they are indeed commandments? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." 18)"Which ones?" the man inquired. Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder(1), do not commit adultery(2), do not steal(3), do not give false testimony(4), 19)honor your father and mother(5),' and 'love your neighbor as yourself(6).' " 20"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" 21)Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor(7), and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22)When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23)Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24)Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." 25)When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?" 26)Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 22:37-39 37)Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind(8).' 38)This is the first and greatest commandment. 39)And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Gal 3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. What is that supposed to be? A refutation? The truth is the truth. We have more commandments to keep as Christians than were contained in the Torah. No its not. I agree with what you said in keeping all the commandments of God, I was just stating the only way we can keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you said in keeping all the commandments of God, I was just stating the only way we can keep them. I see. In the future, please keep in mind that it is best to give a response, and not just post Scripture. I had no idea what you were trying to say just from posting Scripture. While it may have been clear as a bell, you need to remember that it may not be so obvious to the reader. Posting a clear thoughtful response helps to minimize misunderstandings.

Guest pastorteacher Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 After reading your article, I noticed that there wasn;t much said about the NEW COVENANT. I believe there needs to be a comprehensive eplanation for the reason/s for a New Covenant, what are its total contents, and how it differs from the old. I myself do have a working knowledge as to its whys and wherefores, but would like to hear from you by way of explaining the neccesity of the New Covenant. Thank you.

Guest shiloh357 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 After reading your article, I noticed that there wasn;t much said about the NEW COVENANT. That is because I have not got to the part about the New Covenant. I am quite busy and several committments and a full time job, so I have been away from this topic for a while.
