You've got that backwards. Christ says "all the law and prophets hang upon these two commandments" (Mat 22:40) Christ does not say these two commandments come from the 10 (which is found nowhere in scripture) but rather the 10 (and the rest of the law and prophets) come from these 2 laws.
This is what Christ said:
I am going to listen to what God said. Exo 20:6 John 14:15 Isa 56:1-2 1 John 5:3 Mat 15:3-14 Mark 7:7-13 Mat 5:19-30 Luke 4:16 1 John 2:6 John 15:10 because our ideas, thoughts, wants and desires are important to us, but its not the same as what God says.
"All the law and the prophets hang upon these two"
This is not written in my Bible. How can something be "higher" if the details is what makes up the summary. Its like saying the summary of the constitution being "justice" is higher than each of the amendments it represents when its the same thing.
This is not written in my Bible.
You seem to be indicating that we can receive Christ spiritual rest by disobeying God's commandment for physical rest but the clear Scripture says otherwise as proven by the OP What is Christ's rest?
You are misrepresenting what Jesus said by your focus on the word "summary". We must be responsible with how we interpete scripture and use all the references to get a better understanding. A sumerization of the 10 is not what is biblical revealed. The context Jesus reveals is all the law and prophets and the question is which is the greatest, the 10 alone are never the context. Other references such as Romans, Galations and James all inherit this context regardless of which commandments they introduce they are all in agreement. Paul uses summary in Romans and fulfilled in Galations and Christ says all the law and prophets hang up these two. These statements are all addressing the same thing.
Christ tells us this is lawful practice, and even explicitly shows it is lawful for the Sabbath, so I believe him. there is no disobedience or breaking law. There is only obedience and keeping law. What part don't you accept?
So should we ignore what it says verbatim?
Its the summary as clearly shown through Scripture
Not quite
Yet Christ said over and over not to profane His Sabbath but keep it holy Exo 20:8-11 Isa 58:13 Eze 20:20 Isa 56:1-2 Eze 22:26 Eze 20:13, so yes, there is disobedience and things that we do that is unlawful on the Sabbath, thus saith the Lord. Helping others in need like the example of Jesus was never a sin, which is what Jesus was correcting with the Pharisees, but He kept the Sabbath as a holy convocation Lev 23:3 gathering together in church reading God's Word, just as the apostles and the gentiles did every Sabbath following in the footsteps of Christ Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 18:4. Our church does a lot of helping people on the Sabbath, many members go feed the hungry before church, we give out Bibles and other Christian books, we give them clothes and blankets. These were all similar things the Pharisees said were a sin, that Jesus was correcting. Most people when they say they are doing good on the Sabbath, but arguing against the Sabbath commandment, tend to use the Sabbath doing their own ways, not God's Isa 58:13 but there is nothing we can hide from Him Ecc 12:13-14 Rev 11:18-19
all the passages agree with each other, When we perceive what seems to be competing language, then all the texts should be studied together to determine a single meaning that needs to agree with all reading, at time we may need to adjust our focus if their is a majority position that is stronger. We should not ignore words rather study their context to determine the original intent when the surface word itself can present come ambiguity. this is just responsible study.
where is it clearly shown? There is more evidence to support that law is from Christ's law, the Christ's law a summerization of the law. regardless of how you see it, Christ's law is still regarded as lawful practice (for all the law and the prophets)
Jesus says "you have heard it said..." then contrasts it with "but I say..." He does not say "what it really means is..." or "the real intent is..." there is a point where we need to admit the what the language and use that our guide rather then trying to correct the text to say what we want it to say. Jesus's point was to challenge an old way of thinking with a his way of thinking. he happens to call out some of the 10 or rather more broadly the law (with the fuller context) for missing the point. he makes no apologies for that and just tells a better way.
Christ is not unambiguously quoted in those references. you are conflating old covenant references in an old covenant vacuum with new covenant theology. Sabbath is not really about physical rest, so if we physically rest or we don't it actually has no bearing on our spiritual state and God is actually not interested in our service of physical rest. This is the same with any ceremonial act, God doesn't actually care about the flesh of circumcision, or the blood of bulls, he cares about our heart. these are physical analogs that were used in the Old Covenant to point to the spiritual. When we read them in an old covenant vacuum, we need to use a lens of new covenant theology otherwise, all we are going to see is old covenant theology, which includes all the ceremonial, symbolic and sacrificial systems with it. You've made no effort to apply new covenant revelation over these texts and it causes me to question your ability to discern these things at concerning levels.
I agree, Scripture will interpret Scripture, which is what we should do, not post a Scripture than post our commentary to re-interpret what Scripture says. God's Word doesn't need our help, We should be able to make our case just by the Scripture.
I'm not sure your point here, yes the gospels repeat the greatest commandments. But why not let Scripture interpret what that means instead of just trying to make any Scripture we want it to say.
Yes, love is the fulfillment of the law because love does no harm, just as Jesus taught.
The Greek word that is used means exactly what Paul quoted from Rom 13:9
Mat 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to those [d]of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
I see a lot of your words here that sadly go against the Scripture because the NT Sabbath rest is still according to the commandment Luke 23:56 and goes against God's own personal Testimony Exo 32:16 Exo 20:8-11 Psa 89:34 Mat 5:18-19 its hard to reason with one who thinks they know better than the Law Giver Himself what His Law is about. I guess we will both find out soon enough. Be well
Hi, the Sabbath rest in the 10 is the same as the rest describe in the Gospel.
