The Ten Commandments were "binding" at Creation
Ps 110:7-8 "All His commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever, and are DONE in truth and uprightness."" Jesus said, "that I came not to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fullfill." WE MUST FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE TODAY AND FULFILL THE LAW. We also must believe the prophets...Read the parable of Lazarus and the rich man...read the end of it..."they have Moses and the prophets"...
The Ten Commandments constitute the basic spiritual law which regulates man's life, his interactions socially. Paul said, it was "holy, just and good." Rom 7:12 and 14 These laws existed from the beginning.. When speaking of divorce, Jesus said that "from the beginning it was not so." Matt 19:8 It was a sin AT THE BEGINNING of creation to commit adultery. By Moses time the people strayed far from the truth. God had to reveal through Moses what His commandments, statutes and laws state. God was just revealing to the Israelites through Moses His commandments...
Notice Ex 16:8 God said, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?" ISRAEL COULD NOT REFUSE WHAT DID NOT EXIST! Moses said that when the people make dispute he makes them know the statutes of God and His Laws. THIS IS BEFORE SINAI!!!
So the statutes and laws existed before the old covenant. As they existed before the old covenant then they certainly could not be abolished when that covenant ceased. The old covenant could or would not destroy what it did not bring into force. The covenant was merely and "agreement" between two parties.
EXAMPLE Gal 3:17 "This is what I mean, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void." See the promise was already in existence...the covenant could not void the promise...the promise existed first. Just as the law existed first... A covenant can not and will not ever void a "party"
When a man and a woman are married they are in a covenant...Now the covenant can be broken...the covenant can even end...but the covenant cannot void the man or the woman...it can only void the marriage or the agreement between the man and the woman. The man and the woman still exist even though the covenant is ended.
