We sure can,We no longer live by old testament law.
1. NT saints call what you are dismissing "scripture", "The Word of God"
2. "
they studied the SCRIPTURES daily to see IF those things spoken by Paul - were so" Acts 17:11
3. "
ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration from God AND is to be used for doctrine" 2 Tim 3:16
Bible details so obvious the "
Baptist Confession of Faith" freely admits to it as does the "
Westminster Confession of Faith"
Paul refers to it as "
the Holy Spirit says" Hebrews 3 -- when quoting "scripture"
More Bible... less traditions of man please.
“Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
Jesus said --
Mark 7
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 ‘But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts 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 se
tting aside the commandment of God in order to
keep your tradition. 10 For
Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to be put to death’; 11
but you say, ‘If a man says to
his father or
his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given
to God),’ 12 you no longer permit him to do anything for
his father or
his mother; 13
thus i
nvalidating the word of God by
your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
Matt 22
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “
You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “‘
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ (Deut 6:5) 38 This is
the great and foremost commandment.
39 The second is like it, ‘
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Lev 19:18
40 On
these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Matt 19
if you wish to enter into life,
keep the commandments.” 18
Then he *said to Him, “
Which ones?” And Jesus said,
“You shall not commit murder;
You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness;
19 Honor your father and mother; Ex 20:12
and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Lev 19:18
