QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND LAW OF MOSES

 

Questions about the Ten Commandments and Law of Moses.

Scripture testifies that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of GOD.  1 Corinthians 6:9         Also scripture says, “there is none righteous no not one for all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of GOD.”    Romans 3:10,23        We must ask, does the law produce the required righteousness to be in the kingdom of GOD ?      Galatians 2:21   The Ten Commandments given through Moses to Israel was the core of the old covenant along with the book of the law of Moses.  The Ten Commandments were in the ark of the covenant and the law of Moses in a place outside on the ark.  Deuteronomy 31:26   The statutes were the Ten Commandments and the judgements were in the book of Moses along with the works or service to GOD.    Romans 9:4   While the law is holy, just and good it seems that it cannot provide salvation because it made no one righteous.   Ephesians 2:8       The way the law operates is that two or more human witnesses must testify to what they have seen and or heard someone say or do to the priest and then the accused was stoned to death without mercy.       Hebrews 10:28      There is no repentance or forgiveness in the law, if you sin you die.   The law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.  John 1:17  The law should never be hated or despised because GOD uses it to draw the saints to HIS son and the law is a schoolmaster to teach us what we are, sinners in need of a savior.  Galatians 3:24  but after faith came we are no longer under the schoolmaster of the law.  Galatians 3:23,24,25    King David loved GODS law for this very reason.   Psalm 119:97   All people who are not in Christ are under all of the law, Israelites and Gentiles.  Romans 3:19      Jesus said not one jot or tittle will pass away from the law until all things are fulfilled and when heaven and Earth pass away.        Matthew 5:18   Revelation 21:1     The law defines sin for the carnal mind as transgression of the law but in the new covenant this has been magnified and for the saints sin is whatever is not of the love of GOD.        The law, the old covenant could only produce death but the new covenant is the only way we can draw near to GOD.      Hebrews 7:19     Hebrews 8:7,8   Jeremiah 31:31,32        This is because GODS love is the fulfillment of the law and it is GODS love working in the saints rather than us working in the law to obtain the righteousness of GOD by faith  and not by works in the law.   Romans 13:10   Philippians 3:9        

When anyone thinks they need to keep the law, Ten Commandments or law of Moses ,  they actually deny Christ.  Galatians 5:4   Mixing the old and new covenants together produces nothing, you are either in one or the other.
