How can Christians say they are to walk as Jesus walked but reject the Law given to Moses?

Question

Isn't it contradictory to believe that Jesus set the perfect example for us to live by and how he lived a sinless life (did not break any of the commandments given to Moses) and yet Christians reject the Law that He obeyed?

Answer 1

They're hypocrites

Answer 2

There are a lot of arguments for and against obeying the Mosaic Law. Christians will say one thing, Messianic Jews another, Jews yet another. The fact of the matter is, the New Testament is a survey of literature surrounding the person of Jesus put together at the Council of Nicea to serve the cause of Roman unification. Using the text of the New Testament in arguing any side in this argument is fruitless because it is a completely biased collection. Those books were selected BECAUSE they deny, in many cases, the Jewish parts of Jesus' message, one of the goals of the Council of Nicea.

By the way...the Law of Moses isn't just the 10 Commandments. For all of you who think it is, read the Bible again.

Answer 3

Hm. permit's see. At one time, the utmost speed decrease develop into 60 miles an hour (that's what I undergo in techniques). It develop right into a thrill to experience down a 2-lane highway at a mile a minute. Then the superslabs, er, interstates got here alongside and the cost limits went up. Then the 1st gasoline disaster got here alongside and the cost decrease develop into decreased to fifty 5. Now it rather is back to being notwithstanding the locals think of it is going to be. Why can we forget approximately on the subject of the old 60 mph speed decrease? Time's a changin' there are different examples of the place old ideals are replaced by utilising new ones. it rather is very real in scientific fields of learn. The old testomony isn't Christianity. it rather is Judaism. Why do the Jews forget approximately on the subject of the hot testomony. it rather is not their faith. the hot testomony is Christianity's e book... upload: i'm undecided if this might "take" or not, yet I had an "upload" that did not. In it, I defined that Arch Paladin's reaction nailed it. There are denominations that learn the old testomony and incorporate its teachings into theirs with the hot testomony. remember that Jesus Christ (upon which Christianity is predicated) got here to fulfill the "regulation" and reiterated those commandments, elevating them to an better point. that's what i develop into alluding too, once I suggested Time's a changin'

Answer 4

Christians don't reject the law given to Moses. Per Romans 15:4 (and I am paraphrasing) those things that were written 'aforetime' were written for our learning. This is the Old Testament as a whole, not just the first 5 books. Once Christ died on the cross the old law was in essence nailed to the cross, bringing us a new and better law, where Christ is our mediator to God (John 14:16)

Answer 5

Are you saying that sin is exclusively a violation of the Law of Moses? Why, then, did the Jews insist that Gentiles were under no obligation to follow the Law of Moses? How could Cornelius have been described as "righteous" if he was a Gentile? Was there sin before the Law was given to Moses, or were all those folks righteous?

Answer 6

Believers were never under the Mosaic Law;
The Sins of People under the Law were Pushed ahead on the Day of Atonement; It was by Faith they Looked ahead;Without the Shedding of Blood there is no Remission of Sin;

When We pray it is Abraham -Issac and Jacob God thru the Perfect Sacrifice of Jesus Blood I am Saved;

Also Abraham was accepetd by Faith 430 Yrs before the Law,It was by Faith,It is by Faith and it will be Faith, The just shall live by Faith;

Answer 7

Jesus himself said that he came to fulfill the law and that once this was done it would pass away.

Christians are not under obligation to observe the Sabbath, the sacrificial laws of animals under the Law Covenant. It became obsolete when Christ died on the tree.

The new covenant became operational the moment Christ died. The proof was presented to the newborn Christian church, congregation at Pentecost.

This does not mean that the principles of the Law Covenant are dead. Jesus and Paul and others emphasized that obeying the Royal law, "you shall love your neighbor as yourself" fulfilled the whole law!

That is a very important point!

Answer 8

The Ten Commandments were summed up by the Golden Rule. There can be no conflict with the creative will of the spiritual God if we are able to connect with HIm in prayer, and from that have the firm faith that works through charity. Being able to cope with our own sufferings, not causing suffering in others and helping to alleviate suffering in others will in no way break the Law. Besides, if we limit ourselves to rigid traditions, we leave no room for new insights from the Spirit of Truth.

Answer 9

Matthew Chapter 5:17-18

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
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.

LUKE CHAPTER 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Laws, statues, and ordinances are not the same thing. For example, The Ten Commandments (laws) are as valid today as when God gave them. Also, the Food Laws, contrary to what most Christians believe, are still valid.

Answer 10

What law are we rejecting that he lived by? I do my level best to obey the 10 commandments.

Answer 11

Not really...I can reject the law given to Moses in favor of letting the Holy Spirit write God's laws on my heart. ...and the laws he wrote cover the same commands as the laws of Moses with one critical exception...he doesn't want me to worry about enforcing those laws on others (all the punishments) under the new covenant.
