No. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ fulfilled the law. The Law of Moses ended on the Day of Pentecost, when the apostles first preached the Gospel of Christ. God Bless.

No the Mosaic Law was designed to keep the Israelites clean until the arrival of the Messiah...When the Messiah (Jesus) arrived and laid his life as a ransom for mankinds sins, then the new covenant was in affect, but of course the new convenant was made with the rest of all mankind after the natural Jews refrained from recognizing that Jesus from Nazareth was the anoited one of God even the only-begotten Son of God...and killed him...so God had his focus now those of the nations to receive his kingdom since the Jews did want it...Remember the curtain of the santuary was ripped in two which represented the covenant the God had with the nation of Israel...
So the Mosaic Law was made for the ancient Jews, so that when the Messiah came through the line of David, there will be no defects because God made a promise with David that this 'seed' would come from his line so God made sure that nothing would prevent that....but that does not say that the principles that are contained in the Mosaic Law should be ignored but we are not Jews and the Messiah already came so we are not under the Mosaic Law....

When Jesus was asked what is the greatest commandment in the law, he replied; "You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important; Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two laws."- Mt 22:40.
The ten commandments gave the principles of God's law to the Israelites. Over 600 more laws were added. Moses was the mediator of the first Law Covenant.
The 'Mosaic Law Covenant' ended at the time of Christ's death after he instituted the 'New Covenant' to be validated by his sacrifice. He would now be the mediator of this covenant.
By ending the old Mosaic law covenant between God and the nation of Israel and by instituting the new covenant with Christ as the mediator, all mankind could now become reconciled to God.
The Apostle Paul tells us in Ro13:8-10 Owe nothing to anyone--except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor you will fulfill the requirements of God's law. For the commandments say, You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet. These--and other such commandments--are summed up in this one commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law."

He followed the written Torah perfectly, and we are to walk just as he walked. You cannot find a single place where he lived contrary to the written Torah. He admonished us to keep every command of the Torah. When someone has been wronged, they have the option to forgive. That is the lesson I get from the passage in Leviticus. While a person may have the right to exact revenge, is this how we should react? The Almighty does not prefer that one starve on the Sabbath. Those men were out traveling around the countryside, and they ate enough to stave off the hunger. They weren't harvesting the field! The Pharisees have missed the point of the Sabbath altogether. It's those little matters that get blown up into huge matters that will damn mens' souls. Yeshua did nothing that the Pharisees and Rabbis are not even more guilty of. At least Yeshua's interpretations were made from love, and not to control the masses.

Yes. That is why he summed them up in two phrases when asked by the testing lawyer. The ten are really those same two. The first four about love for God. The last six about love for your fellow man (neighbor). It was many of the Jewish traditions imposed on the people that were "nailed to the cross". The man made traditions. Jesus said that he was Lord also of the Sabbath. In other words the same Lord that gave Moses the Commandments on Mount Sinai.
Since God is perfect, He never has to take away what He gives.
God bless

In the Old Testament, the references are to the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law was symbolic and a precursor of the gospel law that would come from Christ. When Christ came, he taught the higher law of having the laws written upon their hearts and minds instead of on their forheads and doorposts. In other words, Christ's atonement fulfilled the intent of the Mosaic Law and thus Christ taught that from his time forward, we were to obey His Gospel commandments and teachings. That is one of the reasons the Pharisees were so mad at Christ, because He taught that the daily requirements of the Mosaic Law had been fulfilled in Him. He made himself out to have the authority over the law. He dared to call Himself the Son of God, the giver of the law and the fulfiller of the law. Of course He was everything He said He was and thus did have the authority to fulfill the law that He himself gave to Moses so long ago.

Yes Jesus wants us to keep His commandments but the Law of Moses does not give anybody eternal life.

It was a tutor leading to the Christ. After he came as our sacrifice we had no need of those sacrifices anymore.
So no we are not under the mosaic law anymore.
We know the Ten commandments are a good idea but even that is not part of the new Testament of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Galatians 3:24 consequently the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith. But now that the faith has arrived we are no longer under a tutor.
verse 28 there is neither Jew nor Greek there is neithr slave nor freeman there is neither male nor female for you are all one person in union with Christ Jesus

The Hebrew Bible is about the Jews and their relationship with God. The 613 commandments are part of God's Covenant with the people, Israel.
Covenant means contract. No other nations signed the contract or were willing to obligate themselves to the 613 commandments. All those who are willing to do so are cordially invited to choose to join the "chosen people."
Christians have a "new" covenant. I think that covenant obligates them to 10 commandments, but I have several friends who've told me that they're actually obligated to only one or two commandments.

No. Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Law. Then He greatly simplified things for us Christians. Thank the Lord! Jesus' law is the law of love!
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
