THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT. Part 2

THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT.
Part 2 (King James Expositor Study Bible)

Matthew 19:19 Honour your father and your mother: and, you shall love your neighbour as yourself (this latter Commandment is taken from Lev. 19:18; it was not a part of the original Ten, but actually summed up all the Commandments, which dealt with one’s fellowman).

Matthew 15:4-6 For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He who curses father or mother, let him die the death (Ex. 20:12; 21:17). 5 But you say (in direct contradiction to what God commanded), Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift (dedicate their estate to the Temple so that they wouldn’t have to take care of their aged parents, and a crooked Priest would then give it back to them, after taking a percentage), by whatsoever you might be profited by Me (making an illegal profit off of God, which compounded their sin); 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free (free from responsibility). Thus have you made the Commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

6. Thou shall not kill.

JESUS AND ANGER

Matthew 5:21-22  You have heard that it was said by them of old time (referring back to the Law of Moses), Thou shall not kill (should have been translated, You shall not murder); and whosoever shall kill (murder) shall be in danger of the judgment (Ex. 20:13; Lev. 24:21; Num., Chpt. 35; Deut. 5:17; 19:12); 22 But I say unto you (Christ gives the true interpretation of the Bible, with in fact, the Bible and Christ, in essence, being one and the same), That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause (places unjust anger in the same category as murder, i.e., “springs from an evil heart”) shall be in danger of the judgment (certain of judgment): and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca (the words “Raca”and “thou fool”were Hebrew expressions of murderous anger), shall be in danger of the Council (Sanhedrin): but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire (men may beat justice in a human court of law, but will never do such in God’s Court of Law).

Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),

1 John 3:15 Whosoever hates his Brother is a murderer (the absence of love proclaims the presence of hatred; where hatred is, there is murder): and you know that no murderer has Eter nal Life abiding in him (comes back to the absence of love).

James 2:11 For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the Law. (The breaking of even one Commandment puts the person in the position of a “transgressor.”)

7. Thou shall not commit adultery.

James 2:11 For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the Law. (The breaking of even one Commandment puts the person in the position of a “transgressor.”)

Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (an adulterous lifestyle), and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away doth commit adultery (if the marriage is dissolved for Scriptural grounds —fornication or desertion [I Cor. 7:15], remarriage is Scripturally allowed).

Matthew 5:27-28 You have heard that it was said by them of old time (the Mosaic Law), You shall not commit adultery (the Seventh Commandment [Ex. 20:14]). 28 But I say unto you (the phrase does not deny the Law of Moses, but rather takes it to its conclusion, which could only be done by Christ; the Old Covenant pointed the way to the New Covenant, which came with Christ), That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her (to look with intense sexual desire) has committed adultery with her already in his heart (the Lord addresses the root of sin, which is an evil heart; the Cross is the only answer).

8. Thou shall not steal

Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),

10. Thou shall not covet.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? (In Verses 1 through 6 of this Chapter, Paul has shown that the Believer is no longer under Law; in the remainder of the Chapter, he shows that a Believer putting himself under Law, thus failing to avail himself of the resources of Grace, is a defeated Christian.) Is the Law sin? God forbid (man’s condition is not caused by the Law of God, for the Law is Holy; rather it is exposed). No, I had not known sin, but by the Law (means that the Law of Moses defined what sin actually is, but gave no power to overcome sin): for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, You shall not covet (tells us that the desire for what is forbidden is the first conscious form of sin; this is the sin nature at work!). 8 But sin (the sin nature), taking occasion by the Commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (“concupiscence”is “evil desire,”meaning, if the Believer attempts to live for God by means other than the Cross, he will be ruled by “evil desires”; and no matter how dedicated he might be otherwise, he will not be able to stop the process in that manner, with it getting worse and worse). For without the Law sin was dead (means that the Law of Moses fully exposed what was already in man’s heart; that’s one of the reasons God gave the Law).

We are under Grace, due to Faith in Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified. If you are Saved? Why would you not want keep the Law as an example to look at for guidence, through Jesus Christ?

The Law of Moses will not Save you because, there is no Salvation in the Law and yes, God did away with the Law but, as you have just red, in the New Testiment, it is still important today because, by living in sin in any way without Repentance and without a change, there will be a consciences that your soul will have to deal with in hell, if there is no Repentance.

What Saves? By Faith through Jesus Christ the Cross and Him Crucified but, you still need to Repent and try to stop living in sin. God will Save you from sin but, not in your sins.

Think really hard on this and Come to the Cross (come to Jesus Christ) and Repent and you will be Saved.
