Again, why was the rich Jewish man of LUKE.16:19-31 sent to hell.? For not having faith in Jesus.?
Luke 16 "
if they do not listen to Moses - neither will they listen though one rises from the dead"
the Law of Moses is in BOTH covenants --
Being saved by grace means being saved via the "ONE Gospel" of Gal 1:6-9 -- and that means the New Covenant where sins are forgiven and the heart is changed.
Please explain the definition for the term "My Law" as referenced by Jeremiah in the NEW Covenant - Jer 31:31-33
"
This IS the New Covenant I will make.... I will write My LAW on their mind and heart"
Some have attempted to spin-doctor the text of Jer 31:31-33 away from its obvious meaning -- and yet we have these irrefutable facts.
1. No text says "not the LAW that I gave at Sinai"
2. No text says that Jeremiah did not know the TEN Commandments were in the LAW of God
3. No scholars claim that the LAW of God known to Jeremiah did not include God's Ten Commandments
Answer to the question above is for certain that: Jeremiah and Paul were in agreement on that point according to Acts 24
Acts 24
14But this I confess to you, that according
to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets
The moral law of God can be found in what Moses wrote -- so obvious that even BOTH sides of the Bible-Sabbath vs Sunday debate agree that all TEN of God's TEN commandments are included in the moral LAW of God (not ceremonial or civil law) written on the heart.
A few examples of the Law of Moses - to see just why both sides admit that it is written on the heart
Deut 6:5 "
Love God with all your heart"
Lev 19:18 "
Love your neighbor as yourself"
Ex 20:7 "
Do not take God's name in vain"
Ex 20:12 "
Honor your parents"
According to the Gospel teaching of Christ - it is a mistake to preach against the LAW of Moses according to Christ in
Mark 7:6-12
Mark 7
6 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching
as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8
Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to
the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are
experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to
keep your tradition. 10 For
Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to be put to death’; 11 but
you say, ‘If a man says to
his father or
his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given
to God),’ 12 you no longer permit him to do anything for
his father or
his mother; 13
thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
"Moses said" = "Commandment of God" = "Word of God"
Matt 5
17 “
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others
to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but
whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Acts 24
14But this I confess to you, that according
to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets
