The sacrificial laws that you are quoting from Hebrews 10 Colossians 2:14-17 is fulfilled in Christ. Nothing to do with the commandments of God that are eternal.Responding to post #56 from here

Not abolished, fulfilled. I believe that fits beautifully with Hebrews 10 and Matthew 7.
Peace be with you
Let’s discuss the commandment with a promise (Ephesians 6:2), honor your father and mother (Exodus 20:12).
Agreed. And the parents in this case are very specifically the parents of those children who are obligated to obey their parents.In OT, it was quite clear that father and mother refer to our biological parents.
That is bending the point in Eph 6 in such an extreme way that it would mean that Jesus was suppose to obey everyone around him - as they were all His mother and father.Jesus, however, in NT, said otherwise.
Luke 819Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd. 20He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.” 21But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
I believe the text just says the law:The sacrificial laws that you are quoting from Hebrews 10 Colossians 2:14-17 is fulfilled in Christ. Nothing to do with the commandments of God that are eternal.
I’m not the one you need to convince we can be lawless in the eyes of Jesus . Matthew 7:21-23. Here is the context to these passages if interested. The Sabbath commandment directly refutes Evolution's teaching on origins although we will probably just have to agree to disagree and it will get sorted out soon enough.I believe the text just says the law:
Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν
One can interpret that to mean only certain laws, yes.
I like how this translation puts it,
The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming. It is not the real things themselves.

Proverbs 16
I think we need to read along with these:ok -
Eph 6:1-2
1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 'Honor your father and mother (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.
That is a direct quote of Ex 20:12 which is most certainly about actual children, actual parents, actual teaching for children to honor/obey parents.
That is a problem for those arguing that all of God's Laws end at the cross since the argument in Eph 6 is from that commandment -- not against it - just as we see James doing in James 2.
Agreed. And the parents in this case are very specifically the parents of those children who are obligated to obey their parents.
That is bending the point in Eph 6 in such an extreme way that it would mean that Jesus was suppose to obey everyone around him - as they were all His mother and father.
I don't think that idea gets very far.
Which is not the gospel of "hate" as some might suppose. Rather it points specifically to "ones own family" who will oppose the Christian not wanting Christians to accept the Gospel.I think we need to read along with these:
Luke 14:26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
The question is - does it honor mother and father for the child to be righteous or to be wicked? In God's eyes a saintly child is an honor to his/her parents and a wicked child is a dishonor to parents. Even if the parents are wicked.So what happens if the father and mother do not hear the word of God and carry it out?

Well, it's a discussion forum, so you can present your views on a scripture passage, and I can present mine. And you can evaluate what I said, and I can evaluate what you said. And then others can join in, too.I’m not the one you need to convince we can be lawless in the eyes of Jesus.
One of the main themes of Hebrews is that Jesus is superior. He's superior to angels, Moses, and the law. That's the entire law, including the Ten commandments. That's all part of the context.Here is the context to these passages if interested.
If at any point you wish to stop with the discussion, you can stop responding. I may continue posting, since there are other people here....we will probably just have to agree to disagree...
Yes, I do realize how forums work, but thanks for sharing your viewpoint.Starting here,

Proverbs 16
First, you say “hate” points to the family(including parents) that opposes Gospel. Then, you say honor even wicked parents (which means those who hate the gospel in God’s eye). Doesn’t it sound contradicting?Which is not the gospel of "hate" as some might suppose. Rather it points specifically to "ones own family" who will oppose the Christian not wanting Christians to accept the Gospel.
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a person’s enemies will be the members of his household.
37 “The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me
Leaving us with "real families" and real parents and a real "Honor father and mother" command in both Ex 20:12 and in Matt 19 and in Rom 13 and in Eph 6:1-2. Direct quotes where even the order and sequence is being affirmed in Eph 6 for the TEN.
The question is - does it honor mother and father for the child to be righteous or to be wicked? In God's eyes a saintly child is an honor to his/her parents and a wicked child is a dishonor to parents. Even if the parents are wicked.
Indeed they are opposing Christians and so the Christian in Matt 10 is told not to cling to them and ignore Christ - but rather to take up the cross of persecution.First, you say “hate” points to the family(including parents) that opposes Gospel.
Indeed because being a righteous person is always doing honor to your parents.Then, you say honor even wicked parents
God pours out rain on the good and the bad. God offers the Gospel to the lost, the wicked ... in fact Christ died for the lost. The Apostle Paul was at one time one of those Christian-hating non-Christians that God loved and that needed a witnesses from a faithful Christian.(which means those who hate the gospel in God’s eye). Doesn’t it sound contradicting?
Yes, I do realize how forums works, but thanks for sharing your viewpoint.To me it doesn't make a lot of sense to continue debating the same person on the same topic for many years and to expect a different outcome. At the end my opinion or your opinion doesn't really matter as we all will have to answer to Jesus one day soon on our decisions. Jesus never taught on lawlessness and said He did not come to destroy the law and putting an end to the law is the same thing so there are some obvious misunderstandings when you try to reconcile that with the rest of the scripture like Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 12:17, Revelation 22:14-15 1 John 2:3-6 and many others. Some laws were fulfilled in Jesus but not all which is why context is so important for those seeking Truth. Jesus said if you love Me, keep My commandments John 14:15. You disagree and that's okay, we can agree to disagree, and this does get sorted out soon enough. You are free to continue discussing whatever you wish, Jesus told us to teach other the commandments Matthew 5:19 so that is my free as well. Take care and wish you well.
No, I don't disagree with Jesus. But you and I disagree about which commandments Jesus is referring to.Jesus said if you love Me, keep My commandments John 14:15. You disagree and that's okay...
Jesus is referring to the entire law there, isn't he?Jesus told us to teach other the commandments Matthew 5:19...
Again this is where context matters. Jesus was referring to the Ten Commandments in Matthew 5:19 as He quotes directly from them. Matthew 5:19-30 and no mention of your reference. Context doesn’t seem important to some but if allowed the Bible really does explain itself.Lots of great points in your post there, I'll just touch on a few highlights this time around.
No, I don't disagree with Jesus. But you and I disagree about which commandments Jesus is referring to.
Jesus is referring to the entire law there, isn't he?
It's the nuts and bolts where we differ.
Do you teach people this commandment?
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 34 “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and I put the [e]leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession, 35 and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house,’ 36 then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house. 37 And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be [f]deep in the wall, 38 then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and [g]shut up the house seven days.

For the law is good...
Are you saying that Matthew 5:19 refers to the Ten commandments only?Again this is where context matters. Jesus was referring to the Ten Commandments in Matthew 5:19 as He quotes directly from them. Matthew 5:19-30 and no mention of your reference. Context doesn’t seem important to some people but if allowed the Bible really does explain itself.
AmenJesus never taught on lawlessness and said He did not come to destroy the law and putting an end to the law is the same thing
Amen - as you point out in Rev 14:12 the saints "KEEP The Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus"try to reconcile that with the rest of the scripture like Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 12:17, Revelation 22:14-15 1 John 2:3-6 and many others.
Amen to that!!Jesus said if you love Me, keep My commandments John 14:15.
It refers to all of the moral law of God for that law 'Defines what sin is" -- in 1 John 3:4 "Sin IS transgression of the LAW" and as we see in Eph 6:1-2 that includes the TEN.Are you saying that Matthew 5:19 refers to the Ten commandments only?
The context of the commandments Jesus was quoting from was from the Ten Commandments Matthew 5:19-30 to teach something otherwise does not seem like an honest way of interpreting this passage.Are you saying that Matthew 5:19 refers to the Ten commandments only?
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you.
Maybe honor and love are different? Love your enemy, not honor your enemy? What if the wicked parents say, “How are you honoring us if you are not listening to me but Jesus?” or “How are you honoring me by leaving us?” (Matt 19:19)God pours out rain on the good and the bad. God offers the Gospel to the lost, the wicked ... in fact Christ died for the lost. The Apostle Paul was at one time one of those Christian-hating non-Christians that God loved and that needed a witnesses from a faithful Christian.
Any example? Say, if the parents were child abusers?Indeed because being a righteous person is always doing honor to your parents.
He didn't change his mind, he if fulfilling it in ChristI don't entirely disagree, except to say that adherence to the law alone is no longer the sole basis for one's salvation. Yet, there was a reason those things were law, and because of that we should still pay attention to them. I suspect God doesn't change his mind very often.

Okay... Does it include this law?It refers to all of the moral law of God for that law 'Defines what sin is" -- in 1 John 3:4 "Sin IS transgression of the LAW" and as we see in Eph 6:1-2 that includes the TEN.
I agree he quotes from the Ten commandments, and that's part of the context. He also quotes some other things.The context of the commandments Jesus was quoting from was from the Ten Commandments Matthew 5:19-30 to teach something otherwise does not seem like an honest way of interpreting this passage.
