Answer 1

NONE OF THE LAWS OF GOD ARE DONE AWAY WITH.
Mt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mt 5:18 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.
Mt 5:19 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.
7TH DAY SABBATH
Ex 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Ex 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed

Answer 2

They confuse the moral law with the Moses law; in short The Ten Commandments with 600+ laws of Moses that was written by Moses in a book - Deut 31. Col 2 however, tells us that the handwritings that were against us - Moses laws - was nailed to the cross not the ten commandments. How can you nail stone to a cross, anyways, the distinction is clear and we should study for ourselves to see them. Paul even said in Romans that he knew sin because of the Law - the big ten. Also 1 John 3 gives the definition of sin which is breaking the big ten.

Answer 3

Christianity is based on the New Testament. Most Christians think this abolished the laws of the Old Testament but it actually strengthened them. Many I know also think those laws were for the Jews only and neglect the fact the Jesus was a Jew and followed those laws.

Answer 4

Jesus and the Mosaic Law


Many Christians are perplexed when they confront the issue of the Mosaic Law. How binding is the Law on the Christian? Some have said that Jesus abolished the Law of Moses. I would have to disagree, based on the following passage spoken by Jesus Himself:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17)
Some have suggested that by "fulfil," Jesus meant "abolish." Indeed, "abolish" is one meaning of "fulfil," but it is also the only meaning of "destroy." So if He had meant "abolish," He might as well have said, "I am not come to abolish, but to abolish." We can assume, therefore, that Jesus meant, "to develop the full potentialities of" when He said "fulfil."

So why then do Christians not observe the Mosaic Law? The answer is that they do observe parts, but not all of it. Some parts of the Law were meant to be temporary, while others were intended to be permanent. This is seen in the fact that before Moses, the ancient Jews were not bound to the ritual commands (except circumcision). If the Mosaic Law was not meant to be temporary, then either God changes or the God of the righteous men and women before Moses was a different god. But this is absurd. We know that the God of Abraham was the God of Moses, and that He is our God today. The coming of Christ made parts of the Mosaic law unnecessary.


In order to understand this, we must realize that the Law is made up of three parts: ceremonial, civil, and moral.


The ceremonial law related specifically to Israel's worship. Since its primary purpose was to point to the coming Savior, Jesus made it unnecessary. He did not abolish it, in the sense of destroying it; He fulfilled it. Nowhere do we read that Jesus thought that the ceremonial law was wrong. The principles behind the ceremonial law are still applicable to us today, that is, the principles of worshipping and serving a holy God.


The civil law prescribed rules for the Israelites' daily living. These laws separated the Jews from the Gentiles, and gave the Gentiles the example of how a holy people should live. Since much was given to the Jews, much was expected. But God gave a new covenant in Christ, and there is now no distinction to be made between Jew and Gentile. We are still to follow the requirements of this law as God's people, but the punishments are not for any nation to impose on its people, because we are no longer separated by nations but by God's grace (Christians and non-Christians).


The moral law is basically the Ten Commandments. We are still bound by these laws, not for salvation, but to live a holy life. Jesus not only desired that His followers adhere to these commandments, He wished that they would go above and beyond them. He said, "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment..." He desired not only an outward observance of these laws, but an inward observance as well.


So we see that the parts of the Law that have been rendered obsolete are those that contain ordinances. An ordinance is either a memorial of something that has already passed or a type of something in the future. The Old Testament laws containing ordinances were not meant to be permanent. There are no ordinances in the Ten Commandment Law.


Now, we must remember that following rules and regulations will not get us into heaven. It is only through the blood of Jesus that we can see heaven. But if we love Him, we will keep His commandments.

Answer 5

OLD LAWS? If you mean the Mosaic laws of sacrifices, then they were done away with on the cross. Because, Jesus was the sacrifice of God, for the sins of the world. However, if you mean the LAW OF GOD, then NO WAY WERE THEY EVER DONE AWAY WITH OR CHANGED IN ANY WAY. If God could change His law and make the first day holy instead of His seventh day, THEN THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO NEED FOR CHRIST! NO NEED FOR SIN, AND NO NEED FOR A FLOOD, OR A JUDGMENT! It would also mean that God is a liar. He said that He is unchangeable, If He can change His law then He is CHANGEABLE! and that would make Him a liar.

Answer 6

To a Christian the law can no longer convict us to death for our sins. Christ died for our sins, now we have the Holy Spirit within to convict us. We don't need the law to tell us what is right or wrong. If we are Christian we are supposed to know by the spirit He gave us.

Answer 7

Because they did not like them and never really wanted to follow them
