Fotios said:It's a beautiful article.
God said that in the Old Testamen..remember The Old Testament/Old Covenant has be replaced by the New...I I don't have to regard that passage.
Fotios,

Gen 12:1-3
12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
KJV
Gal 3:8
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
KJV
Matt 25:45
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.KJV

Well it is the Gospel that was ALSO preached to ABRAHAM, of whom you say you don't have to REGARD????

If Christ is in you, He IS Highly regarding this Word in you, if you are Jesus' sheep. But you say you don't have to regard this passage so If Jesus in you isn't Regarding this Word then what is Jesus doing in you? Jesus blessed the people - the Jew's - HE WAS "THE BLESSING" FOR THE WHOLE WORLD EVEN BEFORE ABRAHAM was - those who came to HIM HE BLESSED. Those who have come to Jesus bless as well. So if you bless any of those who believe and those who will believe you are blessed. If you do it unto them - you do it unto JESUS HIMSELF, friend.
If you do it to the least of these my brethren, the Jew's included who believe on Jesus and who will believe in the future to the Jew first and then to the gentile, he does it unto me -- NEW TESTAMENT. WE ALL WHO BELIEVE ARE BOUND TO LOVE AS JESUS LOVED.
Matt 25:40
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. KJV
See it still applies - Not one Word of God has been replaced.
Much still has to be FULFILLED, in your own heart,....in mine as well and the like.
What has been replaced is that God's Law is no longer to be on stone, as the Ten Commandments were written on - to show us our stony hearts. But God's very Law will be written on your hearts of flesh to LIVE IT OUT NOW being in Christ through His Life - if you/me/we are HIS - God's Law of Liberty now it's called!!!.....it's near you - even in your mouth and in your heart if you have believed Jesus. If you don't hear Moses you will never hear Jesus' Words - to love God and to love (bless) your neighbor. Arabs are our neighbors and so are the Jew's. Just look in your heart, God's Law's are there,.....when you curse you are cursed, when you bless you are blessed. As you do it to God's Believers be they Jew or Gentile you will be doing it unto Jesus. As you bless Israel, even if it's just whole heartedly praying for them for Salvation, you are blessed. But if you grow weary and start boasting against the root that is holding you you are warned in The Law of God that you will be near unto being cursed and cut off. Please hear this, in your heart.
Gal 3:9-16
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Gal 3:17-29
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
KJV
Rom 3:23-31
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
So we don't 'NOT DISHONOR OUR PARENTS do we, since certain Words in the Old testament don't apply to us any longer? No,...God forbid!!! We Establish it. We do it because it's Christ by Faith in our hearts who is Working out Righteousness in us!!
Our Faith keeps on going back to 'the beginning' in Genesis!!!
Those who have ears let them hear,
