Three Questions about God's Law

[Jan001]

Jesus condemned the idea that the Law of Moses is deleted by God --- who gave it.

Jesus fulfilled the Law just as He said He would.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.

Luke 16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it violently.

Luke 24:44 Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.”


Luke 4:17-21 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read; 17 and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

Jesus fulfilled and thereby finished the Law and the Prophets.

John 19:30 When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished”; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

If I give someone a list with tasks to fulfill and he checks off each one as he finishes them, and he finishes all the tasks on the list, the list has then ended. There are no more tasks to do. The list is now obsolete, no longer useful.

"End" as in "goal and purpose" of the law

"End' as in "Finished" and therefore "obsolete".

Hebrews 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

The heaven and earth (temple animal sacrifice religious system of the Levites and Jews) passed away in "this" generation in AD 70 just as Jesus prophesied.

Matthew 24:34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

We are still hearing and reading Jesus' words 2000 years later just as Jesus prophesied.

 

[Jan001]

I am talking about the moral laws. That is the topic of this thread.

The moral law was in effect before the Law of Moses. The moral law was put into effect from the beginning of mankind. See Matthew 19:8.
As you can see, Moses disregarded God's moral law and granted divorce for the Israelites.
There weren't any sabbath laws given to mankind before the first covenant. And there aren't any sabbath laws now that the first covenant has been replaced with a new and better covenant.

Romans 14:5-7 One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.

The Sabbath Laws were made specifically for the Israelites/Jews and for the converts to Judaism only.

Exodus 31:13 “Say to the people of Israel, ‘You shall keep my sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.

The generations of the Israelites/Jews ended with the ratification of Jesus' new covenant. In Jesus' new covenant, a person's nationality is not important.

Colossians 3:11 Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all.

Hebrews 8:6-7;13 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second. 13 In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

agreed.

As you can see, Moses disregarded God's moral law and granted divorce for the Israelites.

Civil law has to do that by definition. But it does not cancel moral law.

Civil law cannot execute someone for thought crimes like coveting.
IT has to allow for divorce rather than forcing two people to simply fight-it-out until one of them dies.

That has nothing to do with canceling moral law.

There weren't any sabbath laws given to mankind before the first covenant.

Gen 2:2-3 is the 7th day sanctified as a Holy Day for mankind - and Ex 20:11 confirms it.

No one is on record as "taking a bath" until we get to Exodus in the case of Pharaoh's daughter - but that does not mean it did not happen and in the case of Sabbath we have it in Gen 2:2-3 affirmed in Ex 20:11 as binding and declared by Christ in Mark 2;27 that when it is made in Gen 2:2-3 it is "made for mankind".

 

[BobRyan]

The Sabbath Laws were made specifically for the Israelites/Jews

7th day Sabbath:
For "ALL Mankind" Is 66:23
Specifically includes gentiles Is 56:6-8
GENTILES ask for 'more gospel preaching to be scheduled the NEXT Sabbath" Acts 13. And they do this AFTER the Jews leave.

In the OT -- any gentile that did not accept the religion of Abraham was pagan. They did not have to become Jews but they needed to worship the God of the bible - and Synagogues is where we find those gentiles in the NT

And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

There is more than one sabbath in the scriptures- the weekly Sabbath that started at Creation Gen 2:1-3 Exo 20:11 before the fall of man that God said is a commandment Deut 4:13 Exo 20:8-11 that should be kept by love Exo 20:6 God wrote with His own finger- spoke with His own voice Exo 31:18 Exo 32:16 no greater Authority than He- which is why not one dot or tittle can be removed until ALL is fulfilled Mat 5:18 and not all is fulfilled until Jesus reveals Himself and comes for His people where they meet Him in the clouds. God blessed the weekly Sabbath day and made it holy Gen 2:1-3 Exo 20:8-11 and no man can reverse His blessing. Num 23:20. So one would need a thus with the Lord to reverse His blessing on the Sabbath and all the thus saith the Lords on the Sabbath (there are many) are for us to keep and not profane.

So what we are left with is out of context scriptures by Paul because he very carefully reveals the sabbath(s) he is referring to found in Col 2:14 that has to do with handwritten ordinances that have to do with food, drink, holy days that were also called sabbath(s) or feasts days that was contrary and against - not the definition of the Sabbath commandment that is holy and blessed by God written by the finger of God.

No wonder why we have this warning about Paul’s writings 2 Peter 3:16

Please provide one scripture that has a Thus saith the Lord that we no longer need to keep the Sabbath commandment. His faithful followers kept the Sabbath after His death according to the commandment Luke 23:56 when His covenant was ratified at the Cross- It Is Finished- nothing could change- Jesus never corrected them once about not keeping the Sabbath. He commissioned His apostles to observe everything He commanded before ascending back to heaven Mat 28:18-20 and the apostles observed every Sabbath Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:4 decades after the cross because they were servants of Christ as we should be.

I challenge you to search the scriptures for every Thus saith the Lord on the Sabbath and compare that to the few out of context verses you provided that do not say the Sabbath commandment has been abrogated.

The church you belong to admits there is no scripture authority of the change in the Sabbath, it is a mark of the authority of the catholic church. God’s Sabbath contains His seal and it is the sign the we belong to Him Eze 20:20. God said Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, man says we can do what we want instead, Jesus said to live by His every Word Mat 4:4 thats where we should place our faith.

Isn't that horrible, "Romish," as if it were the centuries of the hatred following the reformation. They still have Guy Fawkes Day in many countries where they celebrate the killing of a Catholic with fireworks and the like. I've been in New Zealand and I think it was England, twice in countries during Guy Fawkes Day and it made me quite uncomfortable. My mom came to her Catholic school in the morning to see the American flag had been taken down and replaced with that of the KKK. It's been over 1900 years that we've used the name "Catholic Church."

It was sanctified not commanded to be observed as a day of rest

Ex 20:8-11 says the Gen 2:2-3 fact "alone" makes it binding on mankind

Ex 20: "8 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy...11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

Christ said that when "it was made" it was "made for mankind"

Bible details so obvious they are admitted to in the Baptist Confession of Faith Section 19 and 22 and also admitted in the Westminster Confession of Faith sectn 19 and also in D.L. Moody's sermon on the TEN - and C.H.Spurgeon's statements and R.C. Sproul and ...

This is not just "well only people who keep the 7th day Sabbath of the Bible - would notice"

. It was only commanded to be observed as a day of rest to the children of Israel under Moses.

Is 56:6-8 gentiles specifically singled out for Sabbath keeping
Is 66:23 all mankind to keep Sabbath for all eternity after the cross in the New Earth "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship"
Mark 2:27 "the Sabbath was made for mankind"

Not "the Sabbath was just made for Jews"

Most of us gentiles will argue that we are part of "mankind"

Romans 14:5-7 One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

Rom 14 is about the Bible-approved annual holy days of Lev 23 -- based in animal sacrifice and it makes the case that "one man observes one day above the others while another observes them all" -- neither practice condemned in Rom 14 -- but Heb 10:4-12 makes the case that all animal sacrifice ceremonies end at the cross.

no animal sacrifice for the Sabbath in Gen 2:2-3, Ex 20:11 Is 66:23 - or today.

Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.

Again - a reference to the annual Sabbaths of Lev 23 - and is in the same context of Matt 7 prior to the cross "judge not that you be not judged"

The generations of the Israelites/Jews ended with the ratification of Jesus' new covenant.

The New Covenant is old testament Jer 23:31-34 and writes the moral law of God on the heart - as known to Jeremiah and his readers.

Hebrews 8:6-7;13 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second. 13 In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Heb 8 -- sections omitted in your post above - quote Jer 23 verbatim - as the NEW Covenant with God's Law written on the heart.

Is 66:23 all mankind to keep Sabbath for all eternity after the cross in the New Earth "from

Not only did sons of foreigners in Is 56:6-8 keep Sabbath but the whole law as they would bring “Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices”(verse 7). This was foreigners who joined themselvesto the Lord, not by command but by choice. The Sabbath, which comes with the whole law of Moses, was never commanded to the Gentiles.

Is 66 is during a time when Christ rules the earth and Satan is removed. Gentile Christians were instructed by the Holy spirit by decree in Acts 15 that during this time of Satan’s rule they are not required to get circumcised or keep the law of Moses which includes the Sabbath.

 

[BobRyan]

Ex 20:8-11 does not make it a command binding on all mankind. It was commanded to Israel not to all of mankind

Gen 2:2-3 makes it a binding obligation for all mankind since at that time Adam and Eve are "all mankind"
Ex 20:8-11 points directly at Gen 2:2-3 as the sole reason for binding obligation.

This is irrefutable.

Is 56:6-9 specifically singles out gentiles for Sabbath observance

Is 66:23 points out that it is for "ALL MANKIND" to come before God from Sabbath to Sabbath for all eternity after the cross in the New Earth.

Mark 2:27 says Sabbath "was MADE for mankind" at the point the day is made a holy day in Gen 2:2-3. Even if you edit that scripture to point it to Ex 20:11 and ignore the Gen 2 text it says it is based on -- it still leaves you with its "making" being in context of "for MANKIND" according to Christ.

This is irrefutable.

Not only did sons of foreigners in Is 56:6-8 keep Sabbath but the whole law as they would bring “Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices”

Prior to the cross ALL forms of worship to God required animal sacrifice. IT did not require gentiles to become Jews and we see this even in the NT in Acts 13, and 17, and 18 where gentiles are worshipping with Jews but are not circumcised, and are in fact not Jews. Sabbath services were kept by them - but not passover and not circumcision et.

Again - this is irrefutable.

Is 66 is during a time when Christ rules the earth

It is says it is during the time of the NEW Earth in the text and Rev 21 shows that this is for all eternity.

. Gentile Christians were instructed by the Holy spirit by decree in Acts 15 that during this time of Satan’s rule they are not required to get circumcised

Has nothing to do with the fact that gentiles are singled out for Sabbath keeping in Is 56 and for all eternity after the cross in Is 66:23 and even your own statement above has you admitting that gentiles are to keep Sabbath in the New Earth of Is 66 and Rev 21.

No wonder in Acts 13 -- gentiles wait for the Jews to leave the Synagogue then specifically ask Paul to schedule another gospel sermon "on the NEXT Sabbath".

They were called "God fearers" or "Those who fear God" -- but not Jews since they were not circumcised.

or keep the law of Moses which includes the Sabbath.

The Law of Moses includes "Do not take God's name in vain" Ex 20:7 - and a great many other things like "Love your neighbor as yourself" Lev 19:18

The Law of Moses includes "Do not take God's name in vain" Ex 20:7 - and a great many other things like "Love your neighbor as yourself" Lev 19:18

There’s no scriptural evidence, and you've provided none, that the Sabbath, or the law of Moses which includes the Sabbath, was commanded by God or by any of the apostles to the Gentiles. But there’s solid scriptural evidence in Acts 15, that the Holy Spirit (God) directed the church elders in Jerusalem to write up a decree that was sent out to all the Gentile churches in Asia informing them that being circumcised and keeping the law of Moses, which includes the Sabbath, was not a requirement.

And Christians don't need the law of Moses to tell them to love their neighbor as themselves and to not take God's name in vain.
