. Satan STILL PRESENTS HIMSELF AS. Doesn't say he is. .
The New Covenant is for all.
Most Jewish people reject the New Covenant and Jesus.
The New Covenant is BY FAITH, not heritage.
Does the Jewish religion recognize Jesus?
Hebrews was written to the Jews.
Now where is the reference to Gentiles being Israel
By your logic then, if I keep the 8 that Jesus reiterates then I'm good but if I keep 10 then I have to keep the rest of the Mosaic laws as well.... why don't you, that keeps 8/10, not have to keep the Mosaic law? Why is it only reserved for Sabbath keepers?He omitted the Sabbath where he DID PURPOSELY list 9 of the 10 COMMANDMENTS, and never commands the Sabbath of anyone anywhere in the New Testament so logic pretty much blows any Sabbath commandment out of Jesus in the New Testament one must purposely bind oneself to the Old Testament Mosaic Law to INCLUDE the Sabbath commandment and binding yourself not only make you responsible to keep the 10 but hundreds of other commandments listed thereabouts.
In reference to the OP, there are no 10 commandments after the Cross. The new covenant isn't about 10 commandments. it is strictly about love. The 10 commandments were about duty and were the guide for Israel. The guide for Christians IS the Holy Spirit and you all can find proof of this in 2Cor3:7-11. Any place you see the word commands or commandments after the Cross it is referring to:
John 15:10
"If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love."
Simple isn't it?
Still not convinced? Try this one: This is how we know that we belong to the truth.......21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. 1JN3:
Because I love Jesus I will keep His law of love and nowhere does it indicate that the law of love includes old covenant rituals. Jesus kept those rituals because He was under the old covenant. Christians are not under the old covenant. Only the Israelites were under the old covenant. Jesus asks us to keep His commandments like He kept the old covenant commandments. There is absolutely no way you can dispute Jesus own words. If he would have wanted us to observe the old covenant commands he would not have given us the new command. That is a 101 fact. Any deviation to that is nothing but a blatant lie.The fact you can't see God's Love in the 10 Commandments speaks loudly of your spiritual discernment brother....
Because I love God, I will have no other god above Him
Because I love God, I will not make a false image to bow down to
Because I love God, I will not call myself a Christian and not act as Christ did
Because I love God, I will honour Him and rest on the day that He Sanctified for such a purpose, to recognize that He is the Creator
Because I love God and my mom and dad, I will honour them
Because I love God and my fellow man, I will not take their life that I did not give
Because I love God and my wife, I will not defile the marriage bed
Because I love God and my fellow man, I will not take what is not given me
Because I love God and my fellow man, I will not speak falsely of him/her
Because I love God, I will not want what is not given me
... consider the following verse while realizing the word duty was supplied
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
This verse is not speaking of duty, it is speaking of the essence of what God created us for.
Jesus kept those rituals because He was under the old covenant. Christians are not under the old covenant. Only the Israelites were under the old covenant. Jesus asks us to keep His commandments like He kept the old covenant commandments.
If I remember correctly, your argument was that Satan and the other demons are still angels, but fallen angels.It says HE presents himself as an angel of light just as his followers present themselves as apostles and Bible teachers.
But he is a fallen angel and his followers are wicked humans not save saints - yet humans still.
Let's not forget that Jesus death brought in the New Covenant. So the Old Covenant was no longer an option.So Jesus gave us the 10 Commandments at Sinai but then realized His mistake and even though He kept them Himself (because He had to?) He then changed them(even though He couldn't have done that while alive to show us)... does that seem like confusion or cohesion? Why was Jesus beholden to something that could be changed by Him? Does that even make sense Bob?
Do you proof read what you post Bob or are you a fly by the seat of your own emotions kinds guy?
Here's the cohesive... Jesus gave the eternal, moral character of God in His 10 Commandments and because the people did not understand the true meaning of them, Christ came to clarify them with the Commandments 2.0... not a disjointed change from the original (of which Jesus never spoke) but a beautiful clarification for both Jew and Gentile as to what they were originally intended for.
He didn't give US the 10, He gave Israel the 10. How could you possibly deny that? If you are correct and you are not then why would Jeremiah even mention a new and one not like the one made with Israel.So Jesus gave us the 10 Commandments at Sinai but then realized His mistake and even though He kept them Himself (because He had to?) He then changed them(even though He couldn't have done that while alive to show us)... does that seem like confusion or cohesion? Why was Jesus beholden to something that could be changed by Him? Does that even make sense Bob?
Do you deny that Jesus was under the old covenant and Christians are under the new one? If, as you keep trying to convince us that the new one is just like the old one, then why are you not thumping the feast days ad doing sacrificial services plus many more of the 613 laws of the old covenant?Do you proof read what you post Bob or are you a fly by the seat of your own emotions kinds guy?
That is a bunch of pishposh. Parroting your peers does not make it so. The 10 commandments do not even have a commandment not to hate nor one to love nor one to give and on and on.Here's the cohesive... Jesus gave the eternal, moral character of God in His 10 Commandments
I see you are letting your fingers be guided by the seat of pants. Jesus gave the Israel commands that they could not understand? You have to be kidding. You finally writer something instead of insults and it nothing more than blabber.and because the people did not understand the true meaning of them
More blabber., Christ came to clarify them with the Commandments 2.0... not a disjointed change from the original (of which Jesus never spoke) but a beautiful clarification for both Jew and Gentile as to what they were originally intended for.
Now that is silly. What I said is that the Book of Hebrews was written to the Hebrews. That is true.Every Bible teacher on the planet knows enough to accept the New Covenant as the Gospel for Christians. Are you seriously opposing the New Covenant???
Obedience by incidence isn't obedience to anything.By your logic then, if I keep the 8 that Jesus reiterates then I'm good but if I keep 10 then I have to keep the rest of the Mosaic laws as well.... why don't you, that keeps 8/10, not have to keep the Mosaic law? Why is it only reserved for Sabbath keepers?

It really makes a lot of sense.So Jesus gave us the 10 Commandments at Sinai but then realized His mistake and even though He kept them Himself (because He had to?)

This is your answer? That doesn't explain. I need a Biblical explanation, not your own words.The fact you can't see God's Love in the 10 Commandments speaks loudly of your spiritual discernment brother....

You keep your salvation through the law, because those who are trying to obtain their salvation that way will be held to the law's standards, not grace.By your logic then, if I keep the 8 that Jesus reiterates then I'm good but if I keep 10 then I have to keep the rest of the Mosaic laws as well.... why don't you, that keeps 8/10, not have to keep the Mosaic law? Why is it only reserved for Sabbath keepers?

I'm sorry but you have yet to show proof that it is EVER commanded of ANYONE in the New Testament.
This is not a proof text for the Sabbath.And of course - for all eternity even in the "New Heavens and New Earth" after the cross "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Is 66:23
