Which law or laws did Jesus' death replace?

Question

It is explained thruout the bible that we must keep Gods commandmetns and statues, it states that this is not only for israel it is for all mankind. it also says that these things must be done forever and they will be done in the time to come. When the Lord returns do you actually think that his law won't be in existance. The Lords death only replaced 1 law and everyone thinks that it replaced all the law. Only 1
Hbr 10:1 ¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect Hbr 10:3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again [made] of sins every year.
Hbr 10:4 For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins Hbr 10:5 ¶ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me Hbr 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Answer 1

Matthew 5:17
"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."

Answer 2

When you look through the 613 old testament laws, you will find that they are carefully divided several types. The four largest groups are the "thou shalt not" moral type of laws that detail what God considers sin. There are others that deal with offerings and sacrifices and rituals designed to cleanse people if the have broken the "thou shalt not" or moral laws. There are others that deal with society, such as laws about paying for propery damage, accidently injure or death, marriage, etc. Other are sanitation laws, such as not touching dead bodies, not eating certain unhealthy foods, avoid contact with blood, burying your bodily waste outside the city, etc.

Hebrews is dealing with the second class of laws, the rituals of sacrifce for sin. The author shows that the death of Jesus fulfilled all of those ritual sacrifices and sacred days. They were all shadows of Christ. The sacrifical animal was a picture of Christ's sacrifice. Now that he has presented the ultimate sacrifice, the images are no longer needed.

Christ's death does not negate the moral laws. The things like murder and adultry that were wrong before his death are still wrong after his death. If you read the rest of the new testament, you will find several listings (such as Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10) of the moral laws that are sins for Christians same as they have always been.

It also does not remove the need for social laws, which is why Christians such obey the laws of the country (unless they violate the laws of God).

Answer 3

Basically, all of the old testament laws, except the 10 commandments, where done away with.

We don't have to offer sacrifices and we don't need a rabbi to bless our food.

We can eat shellfish... it kinda gets rid of all the odd weird laws that seem somewhat pointless nowadays.

I think God realized man was having a problem keeping up with all the rules because we are quite simple compared to him.

So he made it simple, with the coming of his son, and made it easier for man to follow God.

Christianity is kinda simple. If it doesn't seem like the right thing to do, then it isn't.

Its like the religion of common sense.

All that "gays go to hell", or even the fact that there is a hell, is ridiculous.

Answer 4

We are not under the law but under grace have you not read?

You are further mistaken in that the council in Jerusalem guiding all the churches (guided by the Holy Spirit) gave the gentiles only 4 requirements from the law to follow:
1. Meat sacrificed to idols
2. Meat from strangled animals
3. Meat with blood
4. Sexual immorality

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. -John 1:17

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! -romans 6:15

Answer 5

Christ death on the cross eliminated the scriptural old testament which was the law of Moses (referred to as the old testament or covenant depending on translation) 2 Cor. 3:13-14.

Answer 6

He replaced the Levitical Laws or the Laws the Jews had been forced to live under since the days of Aaron and Moses. He was the New Covenant that replaced them.

Answer 7

All of them but God says: I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 11:19-20

Answer 8

Jesus death never replaced the law as man could not be totally justified by keeping the law for it was impossible to keep all the laws. Christ sacrifice provided a way by which mankind could be justified before God as man's sins are totally justified by Christ Blood for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. The laws, as given to Israel still are in effect and are not replaced but they are made useless by Christ death and shedding of blood for Christ blood justifies man's sins at Judgment as if man was totally sinless and broke no laws.

Answer 9

1. the NC is fulfilled with love.
2. the old ordinances and decrees were blotted out and nailed to the cross with Jesus.
3. i'm not a jew


read col. 2:14

Answer 10

All the old laws are of no effect. Faith in Christ is the new law, coupled with the ten commandments, which were brought forward, updated, and reinstated by the authority of the church.
