AGAIN MY MANY THANKS TO Author W.L..Emmerson and Publisher Pacific Press 1948.
1) What was Christ's thinking about The Law of God, prophetically revealed?
Isaiah 42:21 "The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable."
Psalms 40:7-8 "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."
NOTE(JB): Why is this topic even discusses here? Because of the many false teachers, proclaiming that the law, the whole law of God, was nailed to His cross, and we are now under !grace This is bluntly, false because they include the Ten Commandments in this and they are but a reflection of God's character thus everlasting.
Why do men do this? To explain the reasons why they follow the commandments of men in Rome, and worship on their chosen day Sun day, the "Venerable day of the Sun god!" Why think anyone that man can change God's law that are written on stone for eternity? Please THINK!
2) By what declaration did Jesus fulfill this and other prophecies concerning His relation to the Law?
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
NOTE(JB): The word FULFILL in the texts is PLEROO (play-ro'-o) from Strong's 4137 which comes from 4134 means tto teach, to complete, to perfect. Please read Matthew 5:18-48 to complete.
3) How are those who depreciate the law of God regarded by Jesus?
Matthew 5:19-20 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
James 2:9-10 " But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
NOTE(JB): James is the half-brother of Jesus, and look what he was guided to write! THINK!
4) On thew other hand, who are approved in God's sight?
Matthew 5:19 "........ but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
NOTE (JB) To all Bible teachers please take note of the above verse and the the following:
2 Peter 2:1 " But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." PLEASE THINK!
Never,ever take the words of men for the Word of God, know it for yourselves! WHY? Man can't save self, let alone Y O U!
5) Did Christ actually demand a standard of righteousness of His disciples?
Matthew 5:20 " For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
James 1:22 " But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
Romans 2:13 " For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."
6) Did Jesus not teach and urged obedience to the ceremonial law?
Matthew 8:4 "And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
7) How did He regard those who set up the commandments of men in place of the Law of God?
Matthew 15:3 "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
NOTE(JB) Do not most "Christians" do this to this day? With Sunday worship, Easter eggs, and bunnies, as well as Christmas as the Birth day of Jesus when Luke has the info to to tell all it was in August?" All thanks to the men of Rome!
Matthew 15:4-6 " For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition."
Note(JB) Corban, the non-biblical Hebrew tradition of children turning the home and it's goods over to the church, in place of them taking care of their elderly parents!
8) While Jesus taught the obligation of both moral and ceremonial laws during His ministry, what was it prophetically declared He would do at the Cross?
Daniel 9:27 "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
NOTE(JB) I've asked this question of my Jewish friends: "If you've rejected Christ , why did you stop the daily sacrificing of the lams morning and evening? " They have no answer! Regarding the above verse from Daniel this "WEEK" is split into two equal halves of 3.5 years. Christ's ministry lasted for the first half, the apostles for the last 3.5 years, until the stoning of Stephen, [Acts 7:59] when the Word was passed to the Gentiles! Thus no National forgiveness, no Salvation by Inheritance, each must come to the Savior Christ, on their own choice.
9) What comment does Paul make on the termination of the sacrificial system?
Colossians 2:14 " Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; "
NOTE(JB): this verse has been used to justify the the human moving of the God's Sabbath for the Seventh day to the FIRST day of the week, by Rome, and 96% obey her!-------Colossians 2:16 " Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:"
Those who obey God's Laws and worship and rest on the seventh day, eat only clean foods are to reject the world's criticisms, but the world takes this verse to mean, any day can be the worship day { I worship every day some say, then I say you never work always rest?} Plus the worldly take this verse to mean they can eat anything! So why ignore this>>>>>Isaiah 66:17 "They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD."
Swine is pork, pig, and is part of God's Sanitation department as are ALL of the unclean foods in Leviticus12-14.[Animals the are ruminants, {chew the cud] and have split hooves. Unclean have one bot not ever both, in marines life, they clean must have fins and scales, shrimps crabs, and clams have neither.As does catfish and sharks. All the unclean are either carnivores or scavengers or both!
Anyone want a "Breast of Vulture sandwich?"
10) What evidence have we that some Christian teachers failed to recognize that Christ brought an end to the ceremonial laws?
Acts 15:1 "And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved."
NOTE(JB) Male only circumcision is today ONLY for sanitary reason not religious reasons, as per the Word of God
11) How did the apostles correct this false teaching?
Acts 15:24 " Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:"
12) When Jesus ended the ceremonial laws , by His death {for He WAS/IS the Lamb slain, for our sins] did He also abrogate {do away with] the moral law?
Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law [God's Ten Laws] through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
NOTE(JB): The LAW of God and the Gospel, can not in any way or fashion be separated one from the other, for each points us back to Christ and The Father.
13) What does the Morel Law, the Ten Commandments, still demand, and always shall, of the believers?
Romans 6:22-23 " But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
Note: The ritual or the ceremonial law, delivered by Moses from God, place next to the Ark, while the Moral Law The Ten Pillars, written by God in stone and placed inside the Ark! The Ceremonial laws were "Nailed to His Cross" because HE was the final and ultimate sacrifice, therefore abolishing ALL the previous ceremonial laws and annual holy days. Those that observe the Annual Sabbaths or Feast days, are by their acts rejecting Christ ever walked upon this earth and gave His life for us!
WHY? He came tpo fulfill the law not to destroy, but to fully complete the Law..{of LOVE}
14) How perfect a conformity to the Moral Law is required of the Christian?
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
NOTE(JB): That means all TEN as found in Exodus 20:1-17. and not rejecting God's 2nd nor moving the day for the 4th, and then splitting the 10th into two parts! {For ignoring the 2nd!} As does Rome! even-though their own Bibles agree with Exodus 20!!!! But their Book of catechism does not! Go figure!
15) How is this righteousness made possible in the life of the forgiven sinners?
Romans 8:3-4 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
NOTE(JB) NOW, do YOU dear reader, grasp the import of Christ, and YOUR acceptance of Him and His gift!It is the powers of Heaven, that gives us the ability, if we so choose to, obey and live a perfected life, ONLY because of the Holy Power!
16) How will the believer's love to God be made manifest?
1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous"
.Hebrews 8:10 " For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"
Is this a part of the "NEW" covenant? NO! Look>>>>
Jeremiah 31:33 " But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."
NEXT: "Why GOD can have no rival?"
