Therefore, remember that in the past, you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by the so-called “circumcision” performed in the flesh of man, remember that you were then separated from Christ, excluded from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now, in Jesus Christ, who was far away, you have been brought closer by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, which has made the two groups one and has brought down the barrier of the wall of separation, removing in his flesh the enmity that is the law of the commandments contained in the ordinances, so that in himself he can make the two a new man, thus creating peace and reconciling them both in one body through the cross with God. by killing enmity” (Ephesians 2:11-16). There are many other verses that show that these are different things, but until you fully understand this, the above article makes sense because Satan blinds many people to the truth. We all know that violating any of the other 9 commandments is a sin, so why is the only commandment that explicitly implores us, “Remember,” be exactly what people want to get rid of. If you look at Colossians 2:16, he talks about food and drink, festivals, and the new moon. None of this is found in the 10 Commandments. They can be found in the Book of the Law (the handwritten ordinances). Moreover, the Ten Commandments are no longer in force today. The Ten Commandments were written on two stone tablets and given to the Jews on Mount Sinai when they came from Egypt (Exodus 20:3-17).
These commandments were part of the law of Moses and god`s covenant with the Jews—the Jews would keep the commandments, and God would make the Jews His special people (Exodus 19:5). The law of Moses, including the Ten Commandments, was “nailed to the cross” with Christ (Colossians 2:14). In ancient times, God spoke to Israel through the law of Moses, but now He speaks to all men through Christ (Hebrews 1:1, 2). Israel is no longer God`s chosen people, but those who are redeemed in Christ – the Church – whether Jewish or Gentile; they are His people (Ephesians 2:13-16). The only commandment in the Ten Commandments that has not become part of the New Testament is the commandment, “Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). There is a good reason not to repeat this commandment in the New Testament. The Sabbath was given to the Jews to remind them that God brought them out of the land of Egypt “by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm” (Deuteronomy 5:15). It is not the Sabbath day, but the first day of the week, the day When Christ rose from the dead (Mark 16:9), which has meaning for Christ`s disciples in the New Testament.
Therefore, Christians are not commanded to keep the Sabbath (Colossians 2:16), but they are expected to gather on the first day of the week and take the Lord`s Supper (Acts 20:7). Is there a difference between the law of Moses and the 10 commandments? Does the law of Moses contain the 10 commandments in verses such as Acts 13:39, Rom 3:28, and Gal 2:16? Does the Book of Law contain all the law found in the first five books of the Bible, including the 10 Commandments? What Bible verses can I use to explain that the entire law of Moses contains the 10 commandments? There are cultists who teach that there is a difference between the law and the 10 commandments, so they can use the 10 commandments as a means of justification using verses like Matthew 19:17, 1 Corinthians 7:19, 1 John 2:3-4, 1 John 5:2-3, Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12. They claim that the law has been abolished (victims and others), but insist that the 10 commandments are a binding means of justification. This seems to me to be a futile attempt to support a FALSE “factory-based” gospel! The answer lies in a fascinating statement God made about Abraham, recorded in Genesis 26:5: “Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my protectors, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” Here we are told that when we commit adultery or murder, we have broken the law. Both of these commandments come from Exodus 20:1–17. This shows that the term “The Law” can refer to the Ten Commandments. God`s commandments were in effect long before Moses. Take a look at Genesis 26:5 about Abraham hundreds of years before Moses,” ..
because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my accusations, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. We can see that these are separate things in Deuteronomy 31:26: “Take this book of the law and place it next to the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there as a witness against you;” Note that the Book of the Law was kept next to the Ark as a witness against us, but the tablets with the 10 Commandments were kept in the Ark. Also notice that the Book of the Law was handwritten by Moses and was there as a witness against us. “Nor did we obey the voice of the Lord our God to walk in His laws, which He presented to us from His servants, the prophets.” “Yes, all israel has transliterated your law, even when leaving, so that they would not obey your voice; that is why the curse is poured out on us and the oath written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. Daniel 9:10–11 “Faith, repentance, water baptism, and forgiveness of sins were part of the law, just like the Ten Commandments. Although it was inferior to the fulness of the gospel, there were many provisions of great ethical and moral value in the law of Moses that corresponded to the divine laws of each dispensation. One cannot be saved by “keeping the Ten Commandments.” We are no longer under the covenant that contains the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were part of the law of Moses given to bring the Jews to Christ (Galatians 3:24) which ended on the cross.
This law or covenant condemned those who “have not continued to do so in all that is written in the book of the law” (Galatians 3:10). In the New Testament, there are still commandments to obey, even nine of those found in the Ten Commandments. But in the New Testament there is Christ`s forgiveness of sins for those who repent and are baptized (Acts 2:38), thus becoming Christians, and for the Christian who tries to live properly and confesses his sins (1 John 1:7-9). The above article correctly states that there have been many Sabbaths (holy days) that we do not observe today. So we know that Paul spoke of these Sabbaths and not of the Sabbath of the 10 commandments, because he lumped them together with the food, drink, feast, and new moon, all of which came from the ordinances, not the 10 commandments. To give you a hypothetical situation, if the Ten Commandments were part of the Book of Moses, then by definition everything that happens to the Book of Moses must also be done with the Ten Commandments. Do you disagree with that? Well, especially if the Ten Commandments were part of the law of Moses, it would not be necessary for God to write the Ten Commandments a second time after Moses broke the original Ten Commandments. What for? Because the Ten Commandments already exist within and would be included in the book of Moses and part of it. The book of Moses still existed and was still being observed. But God decided to write the Ten Commandments a second time, which would have made no sense if it had been considered part of the Law of Moses or the Book of Moses. Obviously, God considered His law (His Ten Commandments) to be distinct from the Law of Moses (the commandments of Moses). This shows that the two laws must be considered as separate and distinct laws.
Nine of the Ten Commandments also appear in the law of Christ. For example, “For the commandments, “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” “Thou shalt not desire,” and all the other commandments there are all summed up in this proverb, namely, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Love does not harm one`s neighbor. Love is therefore the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:9-10). Please note that the summary that Jesus said was one of the two greatest commandments is from Leviticus 19:18 and is not part of the Ten Commandments. The only commandment not repeated in Christ`s law is to keep the Sabbath; Instead, we find that Paul says that no one should judge you regarding the Sabbath (Colossians 2:17). One of the main issues that the early Church in Palestine had to decide was the commitment of Christians to the ceremonial law of Moses. Jewish Christians, in particular, struggled to abandon the ritual of the law of Moses. Its fundamental point is that the Ten Commandments were not part of the law.
He then interprets every passage that the law mentions, especially the end of the law, so that it does not include the Ten Commandments. What is denied is that there may be several terms that refer to the same thing. So, but his way of thinking that God and Jehovah must be two different beings because two different words are used. He mentions Deuteronomy 4, so let`s see who Moses used the terms in context: “The law of carnal commandments and much of the ceremonial law were fulfilled at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The law functioned under the Aaronic Priesthood and was a preparatory gospel for bringing his disciples to Christ. It is important to note that after God wrote the Ten Commandments, He added “nothing more” to this law, but God then gave Moses statutes, commandments, courts, and ordinances.
