So, are you saying it is ok, if child is rude? If not, then I think the law is good still. I think the law is not judging, but about not doing bad/wrong/evil things to others, like being rude. Judgment is only what person would deserve and so how bad thing it is to not live as the law tells. But the law is not telling that people must judge, or else…
1213,
1. The law was Holy and good so it is not alright for a child to be rude.
2. The law revealed sin in man and yes it says what not to do because of sin. Thou shalt not kill, steal, or commit fornication etc.
The law had a judgement on kids that disrespected their parents which was stoning such as those that committed adultery or fornication etc.
Today we do not have the curses of the Old Covenant.
2. The spirit of the law can make a person judgemental in the form of legalism.
3. In the age of conscience whatever they did according to their conscience that was later contained in the written law was a law unto themselves Romans 2:13-14.
The Jews had a theocracy with a written law. They will be judged by the written law of Moses.
Today we still have a conscience and the written law is still in the Bible to read.
We also have a higher law of love and the Spirit guides and leads us in truth. We will be judged by secrets of men byJesus Christ according to Paul’s gospel.
4. The question you may be grappling with is what does it mean that the Old Covenant was abolished and why.
5. Moral law has been in each age. Sin has always been wrong according to morals. Moral law has had different contexts in each age.
6. Under the age of conscience there was no written law for murder when Cain killed Abel. It was still wrong and Cain knew it by his conscience and God speaking to him. There was no written judgement.
He asked for protection because he knew everyone would be gunning for him.
Under the age of law it was plainly written Thou shalt not murder or an eye for eye and tooth for tooth would be administered of death by stoning.
Today it is still wrong and we can be in trouble with the government even though we may not get the death penalty.
Also, we can still use the dietary laws and not violate the New Covenant.
The Jews have great practices for making money etc.
So this begs the question about the what’s and why’s of abolishing it.
7. The moral law is always in effect within itself. Sin is always wrong. This was true in every age.
The moral law in the New Covenant doesn’t have the blessing cursing system that the Mosaic Law had. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law which was the Mosaic Law. Galatians 3:13.
We are to obey the moral law because of who we are in Christ and his finished work at the cross.
Also, we are to arm ourselves with the same mind of Christ concerning suffering.
1 Peter 4:1-2.......for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
8. The civil law of the Mosaic law is not made for a righteous man 1 Timothy 1:7-11.
We are not to be suppressed by the civil law as sinners must be who have no self control.
9. The sacrificial law was done away Ephesians 2:14.
The priesthood being changed is made of necessity a change also of the law Hebrews 7:12, Hebrews 9 etc.
Hebrews 10:1. The law had a shadow of good things to come.
10. Hebrews 7:18-19 though in the context of the priesthood can sum up the reason for the abolishment of the Mosaic Law.
For there is verily a disanulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
For the law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw nigh to God.
11. Romans 7 plainly shows how a woman married to a man is bound to him until he dies. Then she is free to marry another.
She cannot be married to her husband and be married to another for she would be an adulteress.
You cannot live the whole guise of the law and the New Covenant at the same time.
We are dead to the law which was Moses, by the body of Christ.
The law was holy and good and just but because sin took advantage of the commandment and the commandment which was ordained to life I found to be death.
The law couldn’t give you power to perform the commandment only the power of an endless life.
12. I have given you plain word of abolishment of the Mosaic law and plenty of scriptures of why the overall context of the law was done away with in the context of the moral, civil and sacrificial law of Moses.
I gave you the word about the weakness of the commandment and how we are dead to the law by the body of Christ. Jerry Kelso
