Which of the laws and commandments of the old testiment are to be obeyed?

Answer 1

The simple answer is to obey the Commandments written by the hand of GOD.

Any other commandment that would be for our benefit, such as, the health laws(Leviticus 11 These laws were not written for Jews alone. They are very practical laws. GOD gave them to US(all mankind), not just the Jews as some would have you believe.

If you are a Christian, then you understand that JESUS is our Sacrifice(Hebrews 10). However, we do not sacrifice animals for the remission of sins. Therefore, the sacrificial system described in the Old Testament is no longer needed. The same holds true for the feast days mentioned Leviticus 23.

Much more can be said.

Here are some Scriptures to whet your appetite.

Deuteronomy 31:24-26
Hebrews 10:1-6
Deuteronomy 4:13,14
Proverbs 29:18
Proverbs 3:1
Romans 7:7
1 John 5:3
Romans 7:12

There are MANY more that I can mention. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

The 10 commandments are always to be obeyed. Some that no longer need to be obeyed are the ones that are basically a ritual or offering. You can't EARN your way into heaven, so if it's not somehow related to one of the ten commandments, then it's probably no longer applicable. The main thing is to know God and bring glory to him. That's all you have to do as far as figuring out what you should and shouldn't do. He doesn't expect you to dress a certain way, or do certain things to your body. Live your life like Jesus did when He was here on Earth (at least to the best of your ability) and you'll do fine. That old phrase "What would Jesus do?" is really a good standard.

Answer 3

Every law and commandment should be obeyed from both the Old and New Testiments of the Bible. They are orders from God and are to be followed by His people.

Answer 4

This is a loaded question, we are to love the law and learn from it but Christ is the end of the law in a sense as far as trying to be righteous by obeying the letter of the law. We learn about God through it aand his standards of goodness, mercy and justice

some laws are specific to Israel, so they would be liek trying to put on a ring from someone elses marriage. These would be like the kosher laws and the cerimonial laws of Israel, we might learn from these indriectly there may be lessons of symbols pointing to Christ for example

some laws are case law and they may be helpful in learning notions of justice, these are like not followign a mob in doing wrong, and not siding with either the rich or poor

some laws are inheerently moral, like the 10 commandments and they are all repeated specifically in the new testament, with the posisble exception of the sabbath one where it is somewhat genrealized that resting inthe faith in the cross is a type of ultimate sabbath and there is a Lord's day Sunday to celebrate the new creation, where the previous sabbath was to celebrate the original creation

Answer 5

All of the TEN COMMANDMENTS. Jesus Christ said think not that I come to abolish the Law and the Prophets Matt 5:17, therefore Christs intention is to see the LAW (the ten commandment) fulfilled in the lives of his followers (Rom 3:31; 8:4). However the laws that were abolish or nailed to the cross was the ceremonial laws. These Laws were fulfilled in Christ we no longer have to make sacrifices for sin ( Jesus paid it all).
The Ten Commandments govern the kingdom of God.

Answer 6

We are under a new dispensation, now that Christ has come, and no longer bound to the Old Testament law. Matthew 5:17, 18 and John 19:30. -

When Jesus Christ came, He fulfilled the law (did all the things it required, living a sinless life), because we never could, due to our sinful, and fallen nature; thanks Adam and Eve.

When they disobeyed the Lord in the Garden of Eden, they introduced sin into humanity, and so God had to come up with "Plan B." Hence, our need for the Savior.

So, the only law that we are required to fulfill is the law Jesus set forth in Matthew 22: 36-40.

Answer 7

This is a trick question...assuming it's for Christians. We don't submit to ( or observe) any of the old testament laws at all. But we do comply with the spirit of those Laws by obeying the primary directive given by Jesus (you know which one). Jesus' commands took the Law to a new level, without nullifying it.

Answer 8

Obey the two that Jesus gave in the new testament.

Matthew 22:
34 But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together. 35 One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And He said to him, " `YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38 "This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 "The second is like it, `YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' 40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

Answer 9

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 10

I think this depends on whether you are Jewish or Christian (and which denomination you are), but I think we should obey all of them.

I believe that Jesus also taught us to obey all of them when he expounded on the Law in his Sermon on the Mount:

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them". (Matthew 5:17)

"Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled" (Matthew 5:18)

Matthew 5:19 condemns those who preach the commandments but do not uphold them. "Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Of course, there are many different interpretations of what these passages mean.
