In the least these of these commandments Jesus mentions some which are not of the ten.
The first two commandments Jesus quoted are from the Ten Commandments and then after stated Furthermore which means in addition. Its odd you skipped over verse 32, but if you notice how Jesus even connected divorce right with the commandment to not commit adultery. If they were only literal as you seem to be teaching, how could that be, how could divorce from the book of Moses, be under the commandment to not commit adultery in God's Ten Commandments.
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.
Matthew 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
You might not consider swearing by oaths under the commandment to not lie, but I am pretty sure God does. Lev 19:12 Zechariah 8:16-17 Jer 7:9
And again if it was not mentioned in the book of the law we are not to be laying with animals, marrying our sisters and brothers, fornication, eat unclean animals, touching dead things, abstaining from eating blood and what not then no one for the most part would know not to abstain from these practices.
This is what was prophesied for Jesus to do....
Isa 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake;
he will magnify the law, and make
it honourable.
Which means
גָּדַל gâdal, gaw-dal'; a primitive root; properly, to twist (compare
H1434), i.e. to be (causatively make)
large (in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride):—
advance,
boast,
bring up,
exceed, excellent, be(-come, do, give, make, wax),
great(-er, come to... estate, things), grow(up),
increase, lift up,
magnify(-ifical), be much set by, nourish (up), pass, promote, proudly (spoken), tower.
Its means to make bigger.
Jesus showed examples of this plainly when He related anger to the commandment to not murder, lust with the commandment to not commit adultery. These are just two examples, two principles but apply to all Ten Mat5:19
If lust is removed from my heart that Jesus connected to the commandment to not commit adultery Mat5:27-30 , I am not going to be laying with animals, having insect or any sins that would require lust in the heart to commit. If you need a law written in a book to tell you this, that's why the law of Moses was added because of sin (breaking God's laws Exo20:20 1John3:4 James 2:11) as a tutor to bring one back to Christ Gal3:10-19 and be in harmony with His will Psa 40:8 Heb8:10 if in Christ one no longer needs that tutor, because God’s laws are written in the heart and mind, and are exceedingly broad just as Jesus plainly showed examples of.
Mat 5:18-19 cannot be from the book because....
Dan 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
It was prophesized Jesus would magnify one law, the one He quoted from the Ten Commandments that not a jot or tittle can pass Mat5:18-19 written by God Himself Exo31:18 that nothing more was added Deut 5:22 which cannot be the law of Moses beside the ark added as a result of sin, as a witness against thee Deut 31:24-26 written by a human, because God promised to put an end to it, so more than a jot or tittle passed from
this law.
Why no book is needed for God's saints Rev14:12 Rev22:14 why Judgement is not needed from the book Exo20:20 Ecc12:13-14 John12:48 James 2:11-12 Rev11:18-19 because there is nothing that is not covered under the whole law of God, written personally by God Himself, that the blood of Jesus atones for what is under His mercy seat Exo25:21 Exo31:18 Deut 4:13 Deut5:22 they are
exceedingly broad Psa 119:96 God never needed to depend on a human to establish His righteousness Psa 119:142 Psa 89:14 Psa 119:172 Isa 56:1-2, it was long before man was created.
You're free to believe as you wish, but what I would like to ask you again, please stop misrepresenting my beliefs. I have explained my position, more than once. We do not have to agree, but telling people I think it’s okay to do these terrible things you accuse me of when I have repeatedly told you I don’t. I guess it’s something that will get sorted out soon enough.
