FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"

"FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"
"Matthew 5:29: Jesus says, "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the **TEACHERS OF THE LAW**, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!"
Luke 16:16: Jesus says, "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. {The Baptist}. Since that time, the good news of the Kingdom of God is being preached!!"
John 1:17: For the Law was given through Moses, and Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ!"
John 8:3-7: The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus. "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. {As per Leviticus 20:10}. Now what do You say? They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with His finger. When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her!"
So here Jesus repealed Leviticus 20:10 and the other 25 Laws of Moses for stoning people!!
Mark 10:2-12: Some Pharisees came and tested Jesus by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" "What did Moses command you, Jesus replied. They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away." {For any reason}
"It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law." Jesus replied. Jesus says, "A man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will became one flesh... Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate... Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries anther man she commits adultery."
Jesus also says in Mathew 5:27,28: "You have head that it was said , 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery in his heart!"
And so Jesus completely changed and added to the OT Laws of Moses on Adultery!
Leviticus 26:7,8: God said to Israel, "You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the SWORD before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the SWORD before you!" Numbers 25:16,17" The Lord said to Moses, "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them!" etc etc
HOWEVER IN THE NEW COVENANT, JESUS SAYS, "ALL WHO DRAW THE SWORD WILL DIE BY THE SWORD!"
Matthew 26:30-34: They seized Jesus and arrested Him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "For *ALL* who draw the sword will die by the sword...But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
Jesus said to Pilate, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But **NOW** My Kingdom is from another place!"
Former OT commands in Exodus 21:23-25 "If there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
This was changed by these NT commands by Jesus:
Matthew 5:38,39: Jesus commands, "You have heard that it was said {In Exodus 21:23-25 above}, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also!"
Luke 6:27-29: Jesus commands, "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you. do not demand it back!"
When you join the military and become a professional killer you must make a **VOW** that you will obey all the commands of your commanding officer. And so if He commands you to drop an Atomic Bomb that will kill about 100,000 civilians including about 25,000 innocent children you must obey this command!!!
What is the OT command concerning *VOWS* and *OATHS*?? Numbers 30:2: Moses said, "This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a *VOW* to the Lord or takes an *OATH* to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said!"
What are the NT commands concerning making *VOWS* and **OATHS*??
James 5:12: "ABOVE ALL, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.!!"
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one!!"
Anyone who claims that Jesus did not change OT laws of Moses is completely blind. All of the OT Sabbath laws have been eliminated. All of the OT sacrificial and temple laws have been eliminated by the eternal sacrifice for sins by Jesus. All of the stoning to death laws for breaking the law have been eliminated. All of the laws concerning killing your enemies, and eye for an eye and making oaths have been eliminated. All Circumcision laws have been eliminated. And Jesus declared that all foods are now *CLEAN*!!
Mark 7:18,19: Jesus says, "Are you so dull?" He asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." In saying this. Jesus declared ALL FOODS "CLEAN!"
FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"

The law is light, and is the way of life. If men come along without speaking to the law and testimony(of Christ), it is because there is no light in them. A law proceeded from the Lord, that law is Christ, His light for the people. He is a stone of stumbling for those who stumble at the word, as appointed, being disobedient, the testimony is hidden up, and the law sealed among His disciples.
Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Isaiah 51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Isaiah 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
1 Peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matthew 13:11-17.
The law therefore was established. We must fulfill the law of Christ. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ, makes us free from the first covenant law of sin, which was weak and we could not live up to any part, unless it was hurting another, now the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, as the law is not gone.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Jesus came to set judgement in the earth, and the isles wait for His law. He magnified the law, and made it honourable. The case with the woman caught in adultery highlights this exactly, the men executing the first covenant law were unworthy to pass judgement, because they are with sin. Christ is without sin, yet did not wish to cast a stone at her or anyone else. But commanded her and all men, to sin not any more, because righteousness is mercy. Stoning was not repelled, it was only replaced by a spiritual stoning instead when we love our enemies..
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Isaiah 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
In the old testament we see all had stony hard hearts. We see God changing that to give some a heart of flesh. The Levitical priesthood was not perfect, Christ our perfect High Priest changed the law, and the law now applies from a soft heart viewpoint. Christ magnified the truth, by telling them things they had not yet considered, how adultery also is in the thoughts, which they can only be told when the heart is soft to consider, and all the other men with hard hearts will continue to do the same.
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Isaiah 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Matthew 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Again, God has not completely gone against His first covenant, but this time the Lord Himself came as the sword, a spiritual sword, and His rebuke with flames of fire, pleading with all flesh by His sword, and the slain of the Lord is many and He is a swift witness against the adulterers. He also sent a sword to our households, because our enemies are within our sight now, and no longer the Midianites. So we must draw our spiritual sword too..
Leviticus 26:7,8: God said to Israel, "You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the SWORD before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the SWORD before you!" Numbers 25:16,17" The Lord said to Moses, "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them!"
Isaiah 66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Isaiah 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
Malachi 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 30:27-28 Behold the name of the Lord cometh
from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is
heavy:his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a
devouring fire:and his breadth as an overflowing
stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the
nations with the sieve of vanity:and there shall be a bridle
in the jaws of the people causing them to err .
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
The old testament commandments of eye for eye was not dropped altogether, but now becomes the Lords role, He is vengeance, He will repay..
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Oaths and vows continue exactly as they did in the old testament. This time however magnified information shows we are not to swear, because all we swear by is the Lords. When we do a vow or oath, we keep it simple, and simply do it..
Matthew 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Acts 18:18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Acts 21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Sabbath was one day holy to the Lord, now every day is Holy to and with the Lord in us working for the Lord every day, we become the sacrificial law also, stoning continues with heaping coals by feeding our enemies, vengeance is the Lords, now we understand and know assuredly He will repay, the Sword of the Spirit, the Word we also have, does set judgement in the earth and the slain of the Lord are many by it, circumcision is now increased, as the previous circumcision was not circumcision at all.
John 5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Psalms 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psalms 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
In Mark 7, Jesus is emphasizing what true uncleanness is, it is not what we eat that we should be concerned about, because there is a much greater concern. The animals that were classified unclean, where to prepare the way for the cleaning of the gentiles. The heart is what needs cleaning, and is what was cleansed..
Mark 7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Acts 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life
FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"

WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES BUT ONLY UNDER THE LAWS OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE NT!!
Luke 16:16: Jesus says, "The {OT} Law and the {OT} Prophets were proclaimed until John {The Baptist}. Since that time, the good news of the Kingdom of God is being preached!!"
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was weak and useless; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
I Corinthians 9:21: I am under Christ's Law!!
Matthew 28:20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU**!"
All of the OT Sabbath laws have been eliminated. Both Jesus and His Father have declared all foods are now clean. All of the OT sacrificial and temple laws have been eliminated. All of the stoning to death laws for breaking the law have been eliminated. All of the laws concerning an eye for an eye and making oaths have been eliminated. Circumcision laws have been eliminated. Loving one another as Jesus loved us has replaced loving one another as you love yourself.
Their about 400 NT laws to be obeyed with *LOVE* in the hope of countless eternal rewards for faithful and loving service has replaced the 613 OT laws.
FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"

Moses along with Abraham and all the prophets will be in eternal life. They served God faithfully. The law is not done away with at all, it is magnified, seen with a soft heart, and is why we sing to ourselves in Psalms, and all the old testament is fulfilled in the new testament, because the word of God is living, and all is relevant and very much alive and counting. No matter how hard you try, you can undo nothing...
Luke 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Again, you cannot take away the relevance of the law one tiny bit, nothing passes from the law until all is fulfilled, and all the law is FULFILLED, in one word, to love your neighbour as yourself.
Matthew 5:18 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.
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, the law is not done away with at all, it serves as an example of how to righteously serve the Lord..
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Te law of the priest was after a carnal commandment. The law of Christ is everlasting in the Spirit, the commandment of the former priest was dissanulled, not the law.
Hebrews 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
The new covenant, not according to the first one, which they do not continue in, and teach their neighbour to deceive them, but this covenant, God places His laws in our mind and heart. The law is not vanished, but the way the law was applied is..
Hebrews 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
We can no longer be judged simply, because the judgement has not decreased but increased, the law is not undone, but magnified, and established.
Collosians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Food always was clean, but to man who is unclean it was unclean. The sacrifice laws are on us now, as we are the sheep. Stoning continues on the wicked by overcoming evil with good, coals of fire by feeding, eye for eye belongs to God who belongs with us now, and Apostle Paul did vows, circumcision became real, as those in the flesh were not really circumcised, and loving our enemy was always shown too, all was just magnified as told..
Exodus 23:4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5 If thou see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"

Apostle Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles, walking orderly and KEEPING THE LAW, and they make themselves an ensample unto us to follow them. We will not follow others who are disorderly and all are commanded by the Lord to withdraw from this wrong teaching against Gods testimonies...
Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and KEEPEST THE LAW.
2 Thessalonians 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
8 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
2 Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

"FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"
"Matthew 5:29: Jesus says, "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!"
Luke 16:16: Jesus says, "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. {The Baptist}. Since that time, the good news of the Kingdom of God is being preached!!"
John 1:17: For the Law was given through Moses, and Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ!"
The Apostle Peter wrote in I Peter 1:17-19: For you know it was not with perishable things such as silver and gold that you were **REDEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, a Lamb without blemish or defect!!
The Apostle John was inspired by God to write in Revelation 5:9: "You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals , because You were slain and **WITH YOUR BLOOD** you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation!!"
The Apostle John was also inspired by God to write Revelation 1:5: "From Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness and ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins **BY HIS BLOOD**!!"
And so the Apostles Peter and John both confirmed that we are **REDEEMED** and **FREED FROM OUR SINS** by the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**!
The Apostle Matthew was inspired by God to write in Matthew 5:20: Jesus says, " For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the **TEACHERS OF THE LAW** you will certainly ***NOT*** enter the Kingdom of Heaven!"
The Apostle John wrote John 3:3: Jesus says, I tell you the Truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God **UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN!!"
The Apostle John wrote John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
The Apostle Peter wrote I Peter 1:23,24: For you have been **BORN AGAIN**..through the living and enduring **WORD OF GOD**. For, all men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers an the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER**!!
The Apostle John wrote John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "All that the Father gives to Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away...And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM!!"
And so the Apostles absolutely confirmed that no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born again and born of God the Father in Heaven above!! And when we are born again by God the Father above He draws us and enables us to believe by the living Word of God!!!
FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"

Yes we are bought with a price, and we also have requirements, to not be the servants of men. Or to crucify Christ afresh by working sins, or be worthy of sorer punishment of treading under foot the Son of God, counting the blood of the covenant as an unholy thing and despise the Spirit of Grace, because men at this end right now attempt to turn the grace of God into lasciviousness....
1 Corinthians 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
The requirements are clear too, to leave all and follow Christ, to hate our life, to forsake all we have and count all as dung. We see example of Christ receiving the Spirit and remaining on Him and Apostle Paul changed born again, both preaching the Kingdom of Heaven and both persecuted for their lives, that is the requirement of being born of the Spirit, in real examples for the whole world..
Mark 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Son of God
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
Lots of requirements, giving all away, not being guilty of the blood of Christ by your actions, preaching the word until threatened, forsaking all you have until you hate your life, and answering vanity to its face.
1 Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
Magtthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

HOW ARE WE SAVED BY **FAITH** WHICH IS THE **FREE GIFT** OF GOD??
Hebrews 11:1,3,6,9,10,13-16: Now **FAITH** is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see...By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible... And without **FAITH** it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. ... By **FAITH** Abraham made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God...All these people were still living by **FAITH** when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were strangers on earth. People who say such things show they are looking for country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have opportunity to return. Instead, they were looking for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them! {The New Jerusalem with its New heaven and New Earth. as per Revelation 21:1-5}
Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** apart from observing the law!
Romans 4:6-8: David says the same thing when he speaks of blessedness of the man whom God credits righteousness apart from works! {In Psalm 32:1,2:} "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will **NEVER** count against him!"
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!!
Romans 10:17: **FAITH** comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ!
Galatians 5:5,6: By **FAITH** we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The **ONLY THING** that counts is **FAITH** expressing itself through Love!
Colossians 1:4-6: We have heard of your **FAITH** in Christ Jesus and of the LOVE you have for all the saints--the **FAITH** and LOVE that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the Word of Truth, the Gospel that has come to you!
Ephesians 2:4-10: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by Grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His GRACE, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by Grace you have been saved, through **FAITH**--and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**--not by works; so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away...And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise them up at the Last Day!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED** them!!"

We are saved by faith without the first covenant, because we ave a new covenant, and the scriptures are clear, lets look at some more.
Faith works by love, to love another we fulfill the law, which law ? The original law of not commiting adultery, or stealing, or bearing false witness or covetting, or killing, if we kill we become a transgressor of the law, which law? the original first covenant law, if we keep the whole law and offend in one point we are guilt of all, because we are commanded to love our neighbour as ourself, and love works none of that ill breaking the laws of God from Moses, sin is the transgressioon of that same law, if we transgress that law we do not abide in the doctrine of Christ, and whoever brings another doctrine is evil, the doers of the law are justified, showing the law written in our heart, and we keep the righteousness of the original law to show those in the law how we are truly circumcised in the spirit..
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Romans 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

CAN A NT BELIEVER LOSE HIS SALVATION?? WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY???
Romans 829-33,35,38,39: For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son...And those He predestined, He also called; those He called , He also justified; those He justified He also glorified. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His Son but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!
Romans 4:7,8: Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will **NEVER** count against him!"
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away...And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise them up at the Last Day!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED** them!!"
Hebrews 10:11-18: Day after day every priest performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time **ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS**, He sat down at the right hand of God... Because by **ONE SACRIFICE** He has made ***PERFECT FOREVER*** those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." The he adds" Their sins and lawless acts I will remember **NO MORE**." And when these have been forgiven, there is **NO LONGER** any sacrifice for sin!!
Ephesians 1:5-8: In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!

The Lord showed He came to make His same law righteous, to be a swift judge against the adulterers and false swearers and all who are against His same laws..
Malachi 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
We see the LAW is fulfilled in one thing, in love, but it is break if we go against the previous law of God to do adultary, or lasciviousness, uncleanness, heresy, envy, drunkeness, all that is the first covenant laws.
Galatians 5:13-24 Use not
liberty for an ocassion to the flesh, but by love serve one
of another. For all the law is fulfilled in this, thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. This I say then, walk in the
spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh: for
the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against
the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so
that you cannot do the things that you would.
But if ye be led of the spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these;
temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are
Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts.
Te laws continue for all unlawful workers, the gentiles, DO THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THE LAW, B THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE HEART.
1 Timothy 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
We do fulfill the righteousness of the LAW..
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
The LAW is not gone away, and never will, it is established and magnified and Apostle Paul did keep that LAW...
Matthew 5:18 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.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and KEEPEST THE LAW.
