No my point is that Jesus specifically said “the Law” then He quoted the Law. You’re trying to say that He was talking about the 10 commandments because He quoted two of the 10 commandments but the fact is that He said the Law then He quoted 6 commandments from the Law. Three from the 10 commandments and three that were not from the 10 commandments. You’re changing what He actually said and ignoring the rest of the message that refutes your claim that He was talking about the 10 commandments. You try to separate the message into different topics where it suits your position but the fact is that He didn’t stop at the two comments from the 10 commandments, He continued the message quoting from other commandments that were not part of the 10.
Lets take a look.....
First of all He said least of these "
commandments" not everything is a commandment as shown
Neh 9:13
Mat 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of
these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches
them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds
the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Which commandments? What does Jesus first quote from? So at the very least one shouldn't even think about breaking the Ten Commandments and take Christs warning to heart.
Murder Begins in the Heart
21
“You have heard that it was said to those [d]of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [
e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’[
f] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [
g]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [
h]hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
Adultery in the Heart
27 “
You have heard that it was said [i]to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to [
j]sin, pluck it out and cast
it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to [
k]sin, cut it off and cast
it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
So Jesus quoted the "commandments" He was referring to....
Then He goes on and says "FUTHERMORE" which means in addition to., we have been through this and in the past you admitted to it.
Marriage Is Sacred and Binding
31
“Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except [
l]sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
The He relates the law of Moses to one of the Ten Commandments showing their reach by showing divorce is under the commandment of adultery
Then He quotes about Oaths which is obviously under the commandment to not bear false witness
Jesus Forbids Oaths
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of [
m]old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let [
n]your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Then He goes on to say what it means to love our neighbor which is summed up in the Ten Commandments
Go the Second Mile
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have
your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
Same here
Love Your Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 [
o]But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [
p]brethren only, what do you do more
than others? Do not even the [
q]tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Jesus came to magnify His law Isa 42:21 and He did just that by showing how our thoughts and feelings are related and lead up to breaking God's law. He did that in Mat 15 as well, quoting from the same commandments. Notice how with the commandments to not commit adultery and not murder from the Ten He said in doing this it is sin and one would be in fear of Judgement. Breaking the least of these commandments affects our status in heaven. Judgement. Rev 22:14-15 Ecc 12:13-14 Are there more laws to keep, of course, but God's law includes all Ten of the commandments, even the one He said Remember, that man chooses sadly to forget.
Jesus showed through a couple of examples how far the reach is with the Ten Commandments, God's perfect law converting the soul. Psa 19:7 Sorry if you can't see it but it doesn't make it less true and all gets sorted out soon enough.
