Love codified in the Ten Commandments

[DamianWarS]

I never said Paul's writing is not Scripture or inspired, but in the inspired Scripture we are warned about people twisting Paul's writings as they do the rest of Scripture to their own destruction. Paul in the inspired writings is still not God or above His words. No one is. So if we are using Paul's writings against God's own promises, I personally would be concerned about the warning.

The New Covenant has been addressed so many times about what God placed in the hearts of His New Covenant believers- His Laws- only God can define them, not us and He did written and spoken by God Exo31:18 that Jesus not to destroy Mat5:17 but to fulfill or magnify Isa 42:21 which means make greater not smaller as most teach as if Jesus failed. He promised not to edit His words Deut4:13 Psa89:34 Mat 5:18-19, I am going to stick with what He said James2:11. . Why its still a sin to break God's Laws 1John3:4 James2:11 because man is not God, nor will they ever be. We can't make something perfect written by the Holy Spirit more perfect Psa19:7 Rom7:12 the issue will always be man, not the Law of God. We can rebel Rom8:7-8 that's always a choice or we can keep them and trust God knows what He is doing Exo20:6 John14:15. Life is about choices and our choices comes with consequences Rom6:16 that one day cannot be changed Rev22:11

No one here is putting Paul “above God.” 2 Peter 3:15–16 simply means that Paul’s writings must be treated as God’s word, and therefore they cannot be dismissed when they describe a real covenant change. Accepting Paul as Scripture is submitting to God’s voice.

The challenge is that you keep assuming “God’s law” = “the Ten Commandments unchanged,” but the New Testament never says that. Hebrews 8 never lists the 10, never mentions the Sabbath, and never says the Sinai code becomes the New Covenant law. It says the old covenant (defined in Deut 4:13 as the Ten Commandments) is obsolete and passing away (Heb 8:13).

That’s not rebellion—that’s Scripture.
Jesus fulfilling the law (Matt 5:17) doesn’t mean preserving the Sinai covenant unchanged. Fulfill in Matthew means bring to completion, not “freeze permanently.” That’s why Hebrews, Paul, and Jesus Himself all speak of a covenant transition—not a cancellation of morality, but a change of covenant administration.

1 John 3:4 and James 2 don’t say “the Ten Commandments are the New Covenant law.” They say sin is lawlessness—not “sin is violating Sinai.” John actually defines God’s New Covenant commandments as faith in Christ + love (1 John 3:23). The NT consistently calls Christians to obey Christ, walk by the Spirit, and fulfill the law through love—not return to a covenant God Himself says is finished.

We can leave it here, but the core point stands: Honoring God’s promises means honoring the covenant change He Himself declares—through Jesus, through Paul, and through Hebrews—not assuming Sinai continues unchanged.
