You must understand the early missionary was meant for the Jews.
You can study the missionary journey of Apostle Paul.
He went to places where Jews gathered. His target audience was mainly the Jews.

Of course, the bible is for everyone today. 

Anyway, I just want to point out Christ didn't come to abolish the law.
I read the whole bible for many many times and I never learn that 10 commandments are not longer relevant. 
You just need to be very careful on the source you learn. This is what I am worried about.
*
Yes I agree his initial Target was for the Jew, Don't forget, so was our Lord Jesus Christ.

His very first target was the Israelites, the Jews.

BY your reasoning, We can also ignore words spoken by Christ for the Jews in the Bible in NT?

That's heresy and Blasphemy.

Didn't the Bible say When the Holy Spirit comes, He will guide you into ALL truth? Not partial Truth?

Don't forget, Jesus is Truth and Grace (John 1:17)

And I repeat It was only Him alone who could fulfilled the Law. And I did ask you a question. Who in the entire Bible has actually fulfilled the 10 commandments perfectly? David? Paul? Even the Rich young Man in the Parable could not fulfilled it because of the love of money.

Do you know what is the purpose of the Law or not Aleune? if you claim to have read the Bible many many time, you should know the answer.

Olga, if you just want to get stuck as basic, you'll never move on.

Hebrews 6:1 (NLT)
So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don't need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.

Romans 5:6
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

Not for the righteous or those who feel they have no wrong in their life.

not to follow the 10 commandment doesn't mean to break all the laws of the 10 commandments.

Bro. It's in the Bible. My Church is not a cult and when I say under the New Covenant, the 10 commandments is no longer relevant to be followed, It's supported by scriptures.

Search for yourself if you don't believe me. Don't go by your emotions. Read the book of Galatians Chapter 3-5, to see if I'm right or wrong.

It says very clearly in there Christ came to set us free from the curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13)

And This is the best verse to prove it.

Galatians 5:4 (NLT)
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace.


I didn't add or change anything in that verse, check your Bible, check your online Bible. It says there what it is.
How do you justify Galatians 5:4? How do you explain that? You're not fighting me, bro, you're going against that verse if you insist Christians must still obey the 10 commandments.
Now (maybe) this might be the problem why you're so resistant.

You think when I say the 10 commandments is no longer relevant, it means we can sin freely and don't have to obey God.
THAT is not what I meant! doh.gif Your comprehension got problem bro.

Back in the OT, Jesus did not come yet, so the people have no choice but to look at the 10 commandments as the basis to have right standing with God.

But After the NT, When Jesus came, He came to set us free from the 10 commandments so that we don't go back and look to the 10 commandments as the basis to have right standing with God because Jesus becomes our new basis to have right standing with God. That is the meaning in Galatians 5:4

Now we look to Jesus as our foundation of righteousness and access to God. That's why Jesus said, No one comes to the Father accept through me. (John 14:6) NOT through the 10 commandments anymore. It's never mention in the Bible.

Before in the OT, you need the 10 commandments to go to God but In the NT you need to go through Jesus to go to God.

And Jesus says All the Laws of the OT now hangs or shrunk on only 2 commands which is

1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength
2. Love your neighbour as yourself.

When you practise these 2, You fulfil all the Laws of the 10 commandments.

That's why in Galatians 5:22-23

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

When you act in Love, you will not commit adultery. When you act in Love you will not steal. Love covers a multitude of wrongs. That's why in verse 23 it says there, against such things there is no law, meaning when you act in Love, you don't need the Law to tell you what to do.
You're guided by the Holy Spirit.

Your Focus now must be on JESUS rather than the 10 commandments.

Hope you understand.
My other Brother and Sisters in Christ, if you can understand this, please help brother Olga. He's just over reacting.

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Oct 17 2012, 10:59 AM)
Yes but if you read carefully, Jesus is the only one who can fulfilled it.

He challenged the people of his time and for the generations to come saying unless your righteousness surpasses the pharisee and the teachers of the law you will not see the kingdom of God.

And I dare to say nobody can achieve that kind of Righteousness. Jesus never came to abolish the Law but to bring the 10 commandments to a level that's more refine than the previous so that Man would come to the end of himself and look away from self and Look to Jesus as the fulfilment. It's no more self dependant but God dependant.

Let me ask you a question who in the entire Bible has actually fulfilled the 10 commandments perfectly? David? Paul? Even the Rich young Man in the Parable could not fulfilled it because of the love of money.

That is why the Holy Spirit says in.

Galatians 5:4 (NLT)
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace.

Your focus now must be on Jesus rather than the 10 commandments.

Jesus gave us only 2 Laws.

1. Love God
2. Love Others.

It is explained in the Book of Matthew.

I think the confusion arises from how you use/choose the wordings.

Yes, Christians today are not under the Law (The Moral Law) but under Grace. We are not Justified by keeping the 10 Commandments but we are Justified through Christ's atonement when we repent and believe.

However we are still to keep the 10 commandments because, firstly it is God's precepts and secondly because Jesus Himself told "If you love me, keep my commandments" which He went on to the 2 greatest commandments (The 1st commandment and the 10th commandment) which is where all the Law & Prophets hangs.

No one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith in Christ. (Galatians 3:11)

Which means keeping the 10 commandments doesn't save anyone but we keep the 10 commandments to please God. That's where the process of Sanctification comes in where the Holy Spirit helps us to mortify sins and we grow to be spiritual fathers.
*
Could be either one or both, my wordings or just comprehension.

But bear with why I said this. Don't get angry.

If you can be patience with me, what you said is a bit contradicting. If you can agree you're not justified by keeping the Law then by the same token You can't please God by obeying it.

Bolded, that is not in the Bible. That is human reasoning. (bold n underline one)

I agree it's God's precept even until today but the very sole reason for it's existence is there, not for you to please God.

Galatians 3:19 (NIV) explain it;

What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator

NLT explains it better.

Galatians 3:19 (NLT)
Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

It's purpose is to show our sins. without it, wouldn't know.

That is why Jesus came as (you said) to show the greatest of all the commandments which really in essence is Love.

1. Love God
2. Love Others.

The Bible define that Love and Faith is basically what please God.

1 John 4:20
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God,
whom he has not seen.

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

That is the New Life and the New Law so to speak.

Look at

Galatians 3:23-25
23Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christh that we might be justified by faith. 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

Notice the word there supervision?

Some of you may say because we need the law for guidance, otherwise how to know what is right or wrong?

I have said it before, the only Flaw I find about the 10 commandment is not so much what is in the 10 commandment but the reason for it.

The Law and the 10 commandment is very centred on Man coming to God. That is self effort.

Whereas in the new covenant, Grace has been repeated mention over and over again what is given to you by God, you cannot earn it.

In the New Covenant, We look to Jesus to reach God.

Jesus is the only one who fulfilled the Law perfectly and better yet, He came bring it to a level that's more refine than the previous. You can say this is like making things more difficult.

Do you know why?

So that we only look to Him Alone. (Jesus) not the 10 commandments anymore.

And this is exactly why a lot of Christians always complain to God about many things.

Because you want to do things yourself, your own way, your own effort.

You don't want to depend on the Holy Spirit which Jesus already promise is in you when you accepted Him.

You want to depend on what your flesh is able to do. To live life without Faith.

You fail to see Galatians in the light of the arguments in Romans by Paul on Grace, Law, & Sin.

Start by reading Romans 6

Romans 7:7

7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

Romans 13:8-10

8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

9 For the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,” (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

(Sorry only have King James Version in my computer)

What is Paul saying? That without the law, he doesn't know coveting is a sin. How could one know what is sin without the 10 commandments? This is exactly what Paul is saying. Which is why Galatians 5:22 only can be viewed accurately and what does Paul means "Against such things there no law".

What is Jesus commandment? Love one another... In other words Love your neighbor as yourself. How do you do that? It's right there in Romans 13:9.

Though we are not under the law but we are required to know the law in order to know what is sin. When you sin it displeases God and when you don't? It pleases Him because you obey Him.

Furthermore, I did not say nor imply the 10 commandments produces sanctification but the Holy Spirit.
*
Exactly my point.

It's there for you to know what sin is. That is the purpose.
Without the Law you probably wouldn't know what sin is.

Good that you ask this question,

QUOTE
When you sin it displeases God and when you don't? It pleases Him because you obey Him.


So you started off by saying it is SIN that displeases God. If that is the base factor.....

So in turn I ask you, by obeying the Law does that make you sinless?

or

It's Jesus's blood that makes you sinless?

And think about this deeply.

How can you not be in a sinful state unless it is Jesus's Blood that washes you?

smile.gif


Edit: to further super impose this.

Even if you completely obey the Law, does that makes you sinless? Definitely No!
The Law cannot make you Holy nor Righteous so How can you please God by that virtue?

You're asking a question that is not related. I nowhere said the law save you but only Christ saves, you sir really needs to read my posts. What I'm saying is that the law shows what is sin and God hates sin, That is why the judgment day is coming. Because sin not only displeases Him but because He hates it too. It is Evil! This is not a base factor. The Bible clearly teaches this.

You need to remember one thing first and utmost, Jesus was sinless because He perfectly kept the 10 commandments of God. If even in just one time He fails to keep even one of the commandment, He couldn't save us at all!

When you keep the 10 commandments perfectly, you are as the angel and Christ, sinless. But human can't keep the commandments perfectly due to original sin which makes us incline to sinning. Which is what God is saying in Romans 3:10-18.

So if any human can keep the laws perfectly, He will not be judge because He obeyed and kept God's precepts. However no human can do that. Even the rich young man when he says I kept the commandments since young, but he didn't kept the most important one that is to love the LORD your God with you whole being" as we see his heart was set to riches.

It is possible for a man to enter heaven without Christ's atonement if he keeps God's commandments perfectly but again as I pointed out, we don't have that capability due to original sin.
The only 2 humans had that was Adam & Even when they were still sinless.

Now let me ask you a question, why would God judge a person and say he is sinful when he keeps the 10 commandments perfectly? Without sin, they'll be no need for a savior.

A person who keeps the commandment perfectly is the person who love the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and Loves His Neighbor as himself. None of us except Christ have kept it.
*
I agree with all the ones in purple highlighted.


Nope. Adam and Eve lived before the 10 commandments. Assuming if they lived passed after Moses gave the Law, even they WILL fail to keep it.

lol you just answer your own question in red.

The answer is Nobody can. So Again the same question points back, If nobody can, How can you please God?




QUOTE(ymc2303 @ Oct 17 2012, 03:17 PM)
Exodus 20
The Message (MSG)
20 1-2 God spoke all these words:

3 No other gods, only me.

4-6 No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don’t bow down to them and don’t serve them because I am God, your God, and I’m a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I’m unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.

7 No using the name of God, your God, in curses or silly banter; God won’t put up with the irreverent use of his name.

8-11 Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Work six days and do everything you need to do. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God, your God. Don’t do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town. For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.

12 Honor your father and mother so that you’ll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.

13 No murder.

14 No adultery.

15 No stealing.

16 No lies about your neighbor.

17 No lusting after your neighbor’s house—or wife or servant or maid or ox or donkey. Don’t set your heart on anything that is your neighbor’s.

Just a recap for you on what the commandment was all about. Not following means you are not serious about following Jesus if that is what i think it is.
If you trust only in the NT on Jesus's teachings but disregard what was told in the OT, then you are mistaken. Both needs to be observe. What you see on the first five commandments was about God and you. And the rest of the five was about you and society. and what was teach in the NT was the simplified version of the OT. Jesus can never take out what was given by His Father nor anyone else.

Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

It's purpose is to show our sins. without it, wouldn't know.

That is why Jesus came as (you said) to show the greatest of all the commandments which really in essence is Love.

1. Love God
2. Love Others.

The Bible define that Love and Faith is basically what please God.

1 John 4:20
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God,
whom he has not seen.

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

That is the New Life and the New Law so to speak.

Look at

Galatians 3:23-25
23Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christh that we might be justified by faith. 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

Notice the word there supervision?

Some of you may say because we need the law for guidance, otherwise how to know what is right or wrong?

I have said it before, the only Flaw I find about the 10 commandment is not so much what is in the 10 commandment but the reason for it.

The Law and the 10 commandment is very centred on Man coming to God. That is self effort.

Whereas in the new covenant, Grace has been repeated mention over and over again what is given to you by God, you cannot earn it.

In the New Covenant, We look to Jesus to reach God.

Jesus is the only one who fulfilled the Law perfectly and better yet, He came bring it to a level that's more refine than the previous. You can say this is like making things more difficult.

Do you know why?

So that we only look to Him Alone. (Jesus) not the 10 commandments anymore.
