TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO BE IN THE OLD COVENANT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Ten Commandments are the core of the old covenant. Deuteronomy 4:13  Ancient Israel was commanded by GOD to accept a non Israeli who would agree to established conditions.  Exodus 12:48.  Numbers 9:14  Isaiah 56:6  Nehemiah 10:29

To enter the old covenant Ten Commandments a person had to swear an oath something that Jesus told Christians not to do.  Matthew 5:34,37,38  therefore Christians can’t enter the the old covenant Ten Commandments.  Then it’s very obvious that physical circumcision for religious purposes is to be refused by Christians.  These facts just by themselves rule out Christians keeping the Ten Commandments, the old covenant.

The old covenant could never be altered in any way. Anyone who sinned by breaking the Ten Commandments would be killed.  Hebrews 10:28  there was no mercy with the Ten Commandments and they operate the same today, nothing has been changed just like Jesus said.  Matthew 5:18  the Ten Commandments death for sinners still applies.  Anyone placing themselves under the Ten Commandments will sin and will die.  The Ten Commandments are not the gospel, do not produce salvation, have no faith mercy or justification.  The Ten Commandments are the ministry of death written on stone. 2 Corinthians 3:7  Christians are not under the old covenant of the Ten Commandments.  Ignorant people say, “then we can sin with impunity” because they cannot understand that GODS love fulfills the Ten Commandments.  Anyone under the Ten Commandments is solely responsible to keep them without any help from GOD, they are on their own.  The new covenant gives Christians the love of GOD by the holy Spirit that is the help we need to overcome our sins.  The Ten Commandments did not give GODLY love therefore no one under them could fulfill them.  What the Ten Commandments demanded of us we could not do.  Romans 8:3   Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments with GODS love because GODS love is the fulfillment of the Ten Commandments.  This is how the saints keep the commandments of GOD and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.  Revelation 12:17   People that desire to be under the Ten Commandments will die in their sins because this is what the Ten Commandments were designed by GOD to do.  Romans 3:19,20   Christians are saved from the ministry of death , the Ten Commandments, by Jesus, who paid the penalty for our sins when we were under the Ten Commandments, so then, once the penalty is paid we are no longer under the Ten Commandments but are under the two greatest commandments Jesus gave, love GOD and love neighbor.  Because law keepers have never experienced any of these things they discount them and call them over spiritualizing or hyper grace.  Even though there are many scriptures that plainly explain GODS grace and love ends the Ten Commandments ability to kill Christians these law keepers cannot believe or understand them.
