Not even close. Jesus kept His father's commandments which was Torah the laws He was under from birth. He never asked us to keep those commands, instead He asked us to keep His commandments. If they are the same why did He even mention the difference?I know because I've researched what it meant to be a disciple in the 1st century, and 1 Corinthians 11:1 could easily be translated as saying that we should become a copy of him for he is a copy of Christ.
I will leave that up to you.You'll have to explain what you mean by my references below not being congruent with my claim.
So, all those who before circumcision became revealed, a law, were sinning because righteousness has no beginning or end? Please don't write things you know nothing about. It doesn't do any favors to your belief system or me. Every time you write something like this I really wonder if your church is teaching this or are you expounding off the wall.God's righteousness is eternal, so the way to do what is unrighteous or sinful is likewise eternal. Jesus was not in disagreement with the Father about what commands we should obey, but rather he said that his teaching was not his own but that of the Father (John 7:16), so his commands were the same as the Mosaic Law.
Again, If the covenants are the same why did He even mention the difference?
John 15:10
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
He was under the law preaching to those under the law. The new covenant was not ratified until His death. It took blood to ratify a covenant and it was not until Calvary that He shed His blood. He left it to His disciples and Apostles to spread the good news. Jesus came and did exactly what He came to do. He came to save Israelites from the law of sin and death.Likewise, if you believe that Jesus was sinless, that he practiced what he preached, and that he preached what he practiced, then you should believe that he taught obedience to the Mosaic Law by word, and that even if he had said nothing that he would have still taught obedience to it by example.
Right, obey His commands. John then goes on and tells us what those commands are and if you dispute his words for your own preconceived ideas then you, well you should know that.In 1 John 2:3-6, it associates saying that we ought to obey his commands with saying that we ought to walk in the same way that he walked,
19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
Anything that has to do with morality in any covenant will continue. When it comes to specific ritual rules that becomes a much different matter. The rituals you are trying to pass on to us have nothing to do with Christianity, those rituals were for Israel and them only. God made them for Israel, so why do you insist that Christians have to abide by rules that are defunct. Israel is no more. Is that so very hard to understand?so again, his commands are the same as the Mosaic Law that he walked out. Jesus summarized the Law and the Prophets as being instructions for how to love God and how to love your neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40), so if you fully understand what his command to loAve means for us to do, then you will live in obedience to the Mosaic Law.
Just plain hogwash and does not warrant my time.In Romans 10:5-10, it quotes Deuteronomy 30:11-14 in regard to what it means to submit to Jesus as Lord, and you can't believe that he is Lord while refusing to submit to him as Lord, so a failure to practice obedience to the Torah by faith is a failure to believe in Jesus. Jesus showed his love for us through his obedience to the Torah, so not live in obedience to the Torah by faith is likewise a failure to love others as he loved us.
More hogwash. Maybe I will comment on the remainder of your post later.The Torah is the way (Deuteronomy 8:6, Jeremiah 6:16-19, Psalms 119:1), the truth (Psalms 119:142), and the life (Proverbs 3:18, Matthew 19:17), Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and Jesus is God's Word made flesh, so Jesus is the living embodiment of the Torah, it is impossible to follow Jesus without following the Torah, and to do away with the Torah is to do away with Jesus. However, God's Word is eternal so it can not come to an end.
