I am so glad that the saved are not in the position of the lost, such that they are free to violate as many of the OT commandments as they wish.
I am so glad that is not what Christ teaches in Mark 7:6-13
6 But He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother, is certainly to be put to death’; 11 but you say, ‘If a person says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is, given to God),’ 12 you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 thereby invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
"Commandment of God" = "Moses said" = "Word of God"
And I am so glad that is not what Christ teaches in Matt 19‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother, is certainly to be put to death’; 11 but you say, ‘If a person says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is, given to God),’ 12 you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 thereby invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”

- 16 And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may obtain eternal life?” 17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said,
- “You shall not commit murder; Ex 20
- You shall not commit adultery; Ex 20
- You shall not steal; Ex 20
- You shall not give false testimony; Ex 20
- 19 Honor your father and mother; Ex 20
- and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Lev 19:18
- “You shall not commit murder; Ex 20
And I am so glad that is not what Paul teaches in Eph 6
- Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 Honor your father and mother --Ex 20:12 -- (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3 so that it may turn out well for you, and that you may live long on the earth.
And I am so glad that is not what Paul teaches in Romans 7
And I am so glad that is not what Paul teaches in 1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is KEEPING the commandments of God"
