I think its a misunderstanding of these verses and not looking at all the context.
The Jews were teaching in order for someone to be saved
Acts 15:1 and hear the gospel of Christ
Gal2:3, one had to be circumcised. Circumcision was never meant as a means of salvation and can't save anyone, no law can save us, the law of God points out our sins, so we don't cover them and die in our sins
Heb10:26-30, circumcision in the OT was the way to get access to the cure for sins, one needed to be circumcised, in order to get access to the cure of animal sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins at an earthy temple with an earthy priest.
Jesus took away this wall of separation at the Cross
Eph 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12
that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15
having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man
from the two,
thus making peace, 16
and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
Col 2:11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body [h]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12
buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14
having wiped out the [i]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Sin did not change after the Cross, it is still breaking God's laws1
John3:4 James2:11 but through the death of Christ He took away that wall of separation through circumcision where everyone could get access to the cure for sins- Jesus Christ.
The Jews however were still teaching that one needed to be circumcised in order to be saved. This is what Paul was constantly correcting. Saving oneself apart from Christ is impossible.
This is what a lot of people teach sadly I believe to their own destruction
Mat 5:19 Mat7:23 Rev22:14-15
If we look at what the Bible says and have a good understanding of the different laws from the OT, one would not come to this conclusion.
There are two sets of laws, the law that defines what sin is and a law that was given as a cure for sin when breaking the law that describes what sin is. Many teach its the same law, but that is nonsensical and not what the Bible teaches.
The Ten Commandments is the Law that shows us our sins.
1John3:4 James2:11 Rom7:7 Mat5:19-30 Why it is under the mercy seat of Christ
Exo25:21. The law of Moses written by the hand of Moses that contained the ordinances
2 Chronicles 33:8 and all the blessings and curses for breaking the law of God, the Ten Commandments was placed beside the ark of the covenant there as a witness against
Deut 31:24-26. The law of God, the Ten Commandment was not written by a human, it was written by the God of the Universe, it is His own Testimony
Exo31:18 and it is holy, just and good
Rom7:12 perfect for converting the soul
Psa19:7 how could the Holy Spirit of Truth personally write anything less, its impossible if we understand His character.
The law that is perfect and holy never turns into the law that was contrary and against. Its one of the reasons why I beleive we have this warning of Paul's writings
2Peter3:16 because people take what God made holy and try to turn into something that was contrary and against. Its really an attack on the character of God.
The only laws that the Bible said that were done away with are the laws that were contained in ordinances handwritten by Moses
Eph2: 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances,
Col2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
2 Chro 33:8 and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers—only if they are careful to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes
and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.”
These were all shadows that pointed forward to Jesus and the Bible tells us what they are so we do not need to take something that is holy and blessed by God and try to remove it when God did not
Heb 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things,
can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once [
a]purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those
sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
5
Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and
sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and
offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure
in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [
b]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By
that will we have been [c]sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
There is a Law that not a Jot or Tittle can pass until all is fulfilled when Jesus comes and removes all sin and sinners once and for all. So that obviously cannot be the law of Moses because we very clearly see that the law he wrote that was contained in ordinances ended at the Cross.
That leaves the Ten Commandments UNEDITED not a jot or tittle can pass, why it is under the mercy seat of Christ
Exo25:21 and shown in heaven
Rev 15:5 and revealed at the last trumpet the standard of Judgment for all people
Rev 11:18-19. Jesus is our High Priest now, instead of taking our animal sacrifices for sin to an earthy priest we can pray directly to Jesus who is at His heavenly Temple
Heb8:1-5. Covering our sins, no one will prosper
Pro28:13 because a record of our sins will still be shown in heaven if we do that. However if we repent and turn from sin and abide in Him, following in His example, He washes away all of our sins and we can stand before Jesus spotless without a record of sins. However when we remove laws that God did not, heaven and earth will pass before a jot or tittle can pass from the law, in the end it only hurts oneself, because it doesn't make the law go away, it just covers one sin where one does not receive mercy
Pro28:13 Exo20:6
Its best to let God be God. God defined His laws in the most awesome way, spoken by God, written by God, it is His Testimony which the entire Bible is about,
John 5:39 who has a greater testimony than God Himself
Exo31:18, No one, why His words judge us
John12:48 Exo20:1 James2:11-12 Rev11:18-19 Rev22:14-15
