Does the New Testament also negate the Ten Commandments?

Answer 1

As I recall, Jesus said something about two new commandments that needed to be kept. I don't see those being followed either.

Answer 2

The Ten Commandments were not called the law of Moses, but rather the law of God. The law of Moses consisted of: (1) the civil laws—the statutes and judgments that Moses relayed to the people from God, recorded in Exodus 21-23 and the remaining books of the Law—and (2) the ritualistic laws (Greek: ergon) added later, summarized in Hebrews 9:10. These ordinances regulated the Levitical sacrifices (Lev. 1-7) and related duties. Ergon means “works,” as in the “works of the law” (Gal. 2:16). This referred to the labor involving Levitical rituals abolished by Christ’s sacrifice.
The Ten Commandments were never part of the law of Moses or the Levitical sacrificial system. The civil laws and sacrifices were based on God’s Commandments, which make up the core of God’s laws. Thus, the Ten Commandments precede and transcend every lesser law based upon them—statutes, judgments, precepts and ordinances. Most professing Christians falsely brand the Ten Commandments as the “Old Covenant.” However, the Old Covenant was based on the Ten Commandments, which preceded and transcended the Old Covenant.
Consider this analogy: The idea promoted by most professing Christians—that God’s spiritual law, the Ten Commandments, has been abolished—is as ridiculous as claiming that the physical laws of gravity and inertia are no longer enforced. Theologians cannot negate God’s law any more than scientists can void the laws of gravity and inertia.
How did the leaders of the New Testament Church view the laws of God? Paul wrote, “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (Rom. 7:12). The Apostle John wrote, “For this is the love of God that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not grievous” (I John 5:3). And Christ summed up the matter, saying, “…if you will enter into life, keep the commandments” (Matt. 19:17).

Answer 3

Not at all! The New Testament voices a fulfillment of the Ten Commandments. The new commandment given by Jesus (aka The Golden Rule) pretty much summarizes the list, second only to the command to love God first and foremost.

Answer 4

No, the new Testament does not negate the Ten Commandments!!!

Answer 5

No, the New Testament fulfills the old testament, not negates it. Back in those days, people were not educated as the general population is not, and they needed really basic rules, like washing before eating, and not eating unclean things, just to survive, if not humanity would have ceased a long time ago, just from disease.

Answer 6

Jesus told us that He came to fulfill the Law, not negate it. He presumed that we are observing the Ten Commandments when He gave us a New Law. Perhaps we should call it the 11th Commandment. It is based upon the Shema, the prayer said daily by Jews: "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, The Lord is One. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength." Jesus then added "And you shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Answer 7

the new testament shows how the new covenant replaced and perfected those of the old testament and covenant. the ten commandments are still seen in the new testament just in a more perfect way.

Answer 8

No, Jesus came to fullfill the law, not to abolish it. Christians should follow the 10 commandments, but in the event that they break one, they can always ask Jesus to forgive them and He will because He already paid the price for sin. And then they can go back to following the 10 commandments.

Answer 9

Anyone who can read(*) knows the Ten Commandments are also listed in the New Testament and Jesus spoke of them for us to follow.

(*) you are excused

Answer 10
