The law itself is not “the curse. Scripture tells us
Gods law is holy, just, and good in Romans 7:12
The curse of the law came in by 2 ways, the first is shown in
Deuteronomy 27:26 “Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the
words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.”
First part of this curse has to do with sin as it is written
in Romans 7:10-11. The law was ordained unto life, but the
curse came when man could not keep the law because of the
weakness of his flesh and sin.
The second part of the curse, which is swearing to the oath.
Galatians 3:10. The word oath in Hebrew can also be defined
and shown as the word curse in scripture. And swearing to
an oath can also be shown as binding ones soul to a curse
as in NEHEMIAH 10:29. In Daniel 9:11 we read..
“Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing,
that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is
poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses
the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.”
The curse came in by swearing themselves to the oath in Numbers 30:2
So being unable to perform the vow to God to keep the whole law,
because of the weakness of the flesh and of sin, then the curses
mentioned in the law were put into effect.
What Jesus said in Matthew 5:33-37, also ties in James 5:12
“But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven,
neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea
be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”
