I don't believe for a second that the Renewed Covenant is about lying, stealing, murdering, idol worship, and the like.
If the Torah isn't written on your heart yet; you can always fall back on the Torah engraved in stone.
Jesus cannot say to hear the Pharisees, because the new covenant is to not be taught by any man, but to be taught of the father ( faith and the Father and Son coming to us and making their abode with us to teach us in the Spirit and not by flesh, that is man)
Jesus speaking for men of Israel to observe what the law says, is reminding the men of Israel, that doing what the law says, is greater than what the Pharisees say, which is to say and do not, to mix lies with what they spoke of God.
Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Reverse as in antithetical.
This is true. However in the new covenant duty replaces fear.
Surely you aren't saying that Yahshua was contradicting himself?
Surely there must be another answer.
Again, I don't believe for a second that the Renewed Covenant is about lying, stealing, murdering, idol worship, and the like.
It is abut how to not lie, by the Spirit of truth now given.
How to not steal, as to not let him ( the devil who stole) steal no more, so now to labour to give ( instead of steal)
to not murder, but now instead to even lay our lives down.
to not idol worship, and to be made aware that coveting is idolatry
any more you want me to speak of ?
Wasn't the truth given from the beginning?
(CLV) Ps 119:142
Your righteousness is eonian righteousness, And Your law is truth.
Yes, surely you cannot be believing in being taught by the blind ?
But, Jesus taught how to see, and then they can see that the Pharisees say, and do not.
Jesus also taught how they heard in old times, hating enemy, commiting adultery, and then His sayings are the law magnified and made honourable.
We are either with Jesus or against, cant be both.
Isaiah 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Again, the Torah was read from the Moses seat.
(CLV) Jn 5:46
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for the writes concerning Me.
(CLV) Jn 5:47
Now if you are not believing his writings, how shall you be believing My declarations?"
The Torah is the word of YHWH. In the beginning was the word. The Torah brings us to Yahshua.
Has this come to pass?
Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
