Moonlight7 View Profile History	Ten Commandments Posted : 11 May, 2023 07:58 AM Are the Ten Commandments repeated in the New Testament? Ten Commandments in the New Testament Nine of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:1–17 are repeated in the New Testament numerous times in different ways. For example, in giving a summary of our moral responsibilities to one another, Jesus repeats four of the Ten Commandments to the young ruler in Mark 10:17–19. The only commandment not repeated in the New Testament is the fourth one, the one about Sabbath-keeping. Paul references the Decalogue a number of times in his epistles. Sometimes, he is explicit in reciting some of the commandments, as he does in Romans 13:9. Other times, he references them implicitly, like in 1 Timothy 1:8–10: “But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers [5th and 6th commandments], for murderers [6th commandment] and immoral men and homosexuals [7th commandment] and kidnappers [8th commandment] and liars and perjurers [9th commandment], and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching” (NASB). Here are the Ten Commandments and where they are found in the New Testament: 1) Do not worship any other gods (1 Corinthians 8:6; 1 Timothy 2:5) 2) Do not make idols (1 John 5:21) 3) Do not misuse the name of the LORD (1 Timothy 6:1) 4) Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. (There are many references to the Sabbath day in the New Testament, including the assumption that Jews under the law in the time of Christ would be observing the Sabbath. But there is no direct or indirect command for believers in the church age to observe the Sabbath as a day of rest or of worship. In fact, Colossians 2:16 releases the believer from the Sabbath rule. Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, has become for us our Sabbath rest, according to Hebrews 4:1–11.) 5) Honor your father and your mother (Ephesians 6:1–2) 6) Do not murder (Romans 13:9; 1 Peter 4:15) 7) Do not commit adultery (1 Corinthians 6:9–10) 8) Do not steal (Ephesians 4:28) 9) Do not give false testimony (Revelation 21:8) 10) Do not covet (Colossians 3:5) The Ten Commandments help unbelievers in any age recognize their imperfections. Because it summarizes the moral content of God’s law, the Decalogue can be used as a mirror to show people their sin. The commandments reflect the unchanging character of God, so they—like God—are eternal, timeless, universally applicable, and immutable. Some Christians believe the Ten Commandments are not binding upon believers today. For example, in his book Irresistible: Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World, Andy Stanley says, “The Ten Commandments have no authority over you. None. To be clear: Thou shalt not obey the Ten Commandments” (p. 136). Such thinking is likely not caused by an antinomian mindset, but instead stems from the principle that Christians are not under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14). While it is true that Christ fulfilled the law on our behalf (see Matthew 5:17), the New Testament is clear that believers should not violate God’s moral law because of their standing in grace (Romans 6:15). New Testament believers are freed from the bondage of sin, which allows them to freely live out the Ten Commandments, summarized by Christ this way: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:36–40, NASB). Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Ten Commandments Posted : 12 May, 2023 06:08 PM Dom, please pry yourself away from Halo Harry’s false teaching. If you can’t do that, then maybe you could at least inform him about the different kinds of OT law. Please be sure and tell Harry about the different divisions of OT laws. For example, there’s the ceremonial law, the moral law, and the judicial law in the Old Testament. I know Harry will be so impressed by you if you tell him that, he’ll probably even give you a great big blue ribbon bow the size of Dallas‼️‼️ But let me offer even more free help. Not all the laws God gave Moses where intended for the Jews only. For example, nobody has a right to murder other people or commit adultery. Also. Nobody here is saying you have to keep any particular division of the law to be saved BUT if you really love God and his word you will make an effort to obey the moral law which is relevant to all people. You won’t be perfect but at least your desire to please God will be evident Jesus did not do away with the whole law. Where are you getting this stuff⁉️⁉️ Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law. Judicial laws may differ but the Bible’s moral laws are the same everywhere, if they’re not, they should be. The New Testament applies all commandments except the sabbath law to all people. Sorry you missed all that but now you know, please pass that on to Harry. 😀😉 Post Reply
Streetevangelist520^ View Profile History	Ten Commandments Posted : 12 May, 2023 08:05 PM I agree with what moonlight7 and little david are saying dom because it is scriptural. Gal 1:6-10 warns against preaching a false gospel which damns people to hell. What you are believing is heresy, the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ is expensive, there's no such thing as cheap grace, that is a lie from the pits of hell. You need to repent of this, you are walking on dangerous shaky ground. Post Reply

I received the grace of God and it cost me nothing. Discipleship costs everything but external life is a FREE GIFT. What part of FREE don't you understand? Hyper grace al the way! Post Reply
Dom_64 View Profile History	Ten Commandments Posted : 13 May, 2023 06:48 AM Moonlight, you are just pretending to keep ALL the ten commandments because it includes keeping a literal day of not working on the seventh day which you don't keep. It's not the Nine Commandments. You say your are resting in Christ but you are really not because you are trying to keep the Law of Moses to be saved instead of the Law of faith. ...knowing that a man is not justified by the WORKS OF THE LAW(the ten commandments and the rest) but BY FAITH in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justifiedBY FAITH in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Gal 2:16 Post Reply
