Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.
Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No
Are the ten commandments in the new testament
Paul says
Ro 7 11 “For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”
Jesus’ law is just a concentrate of the 10 commandments. It is simplified even more when it says:
Ro 13 10 “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
Paul kept the Sabbath all his life. Jesus, to make it simple, said love God and love others. Then, to simplify it more, Jesus said love is the fulfilling of the law. It does not mean it does away with the ten commandments. It is just Jesus explaining the law in a simple way. Nobody is saved by keeping the law. God keeps the law through us, as our works are dirty rags. But the law is not done away with.
Ac 17 2 “And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures”
Paul kept the Sabbath, which is one of the ten commandments, all his life. Paul never said the law is done away with. Paul said we are not under the law, or under the condemnation of the law, as the price for sin has been paid by Jesus. We do not need to bring animal sacrifices anymore.
Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No, as the law of Jesus is the same as the ten commandments. Jesus did not come to do away with the law. Jesus said not one jot from the law will pass until heaven pass. If Jesus kept the Sabbath all His life, as it says in Luke 4 16, then Jesus did not do away with the ten commandments, as Jesus is the One who gave the ten commandments to Moses.
Paul says a man is bound by the 10 commandments as long as he lives
Ro 7 1 “Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?”
As long as we live, we will have the ten commandments. It never was done away. If God could have done away with the ten commandments, then Jesus would not have needed to die on the cross.
Ro 3 20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Sin is known by the ten commandments. Are there sinners today? Yes, then it means we are breaking the ten commandments. Sin is the breaking of the ten commandments.
Was the Sabbath done away after Jesus died? No. The Sabbath is part of the ten commandments.
Lk 23 54 “And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.”
The Sabbath was kept by the apostles after Jesus died. They did not start to keep Sunday, as it says they returned to the tomb on Sunday, but they rested on Sabbath. If the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, then the apostles would have rested Sunday also. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? But Sunday is a pagan holiday. Why would the apostles keep a pagan holiday?
Apostles rested according to commandment? Which commandments? The 10.
If the commandments were done away, would they have rested on Sabbath? No. It proves the 10 commandments were not done away with.
Lk 24 1 “Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.”
If Sabbath was changed to Sunday, why did they not rest on Sunday? Because Sabbath was not changed to Sunday. They rested on Sabbath and came to see Jesus’ tomb on Sunday because Sunday is a working day, as Monday, etc. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.
Lk 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.”
Jesus kept the Sabbath all His life. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. When it says the law was given because of transgressions, it means the law was spoken because of transgressions. Watching the Greek and Hebrew in the Bible is very important. So the verse would say the law was spoken because of transgression, or spoken again.
To the young ruler, Jesus tells him keep the commandments. Through Jesus’ righteousness, as we do not keep the law. No one can keep the law. We are all sinners and none is good, not one. There is no righteousness in us. Our best works are dirty rags. Jesus does the works through us only for those who ask for His righteousness.
Mt 19 17 “And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness”
James says if we break one commandment, like the Sabbath, we become transgressors of the whole law and condemned of God. We are all sinners and nobody can keep the law. Only Jesus through us keeps the law. We do not have to make efforts anymore; it is by faith.
Ja 2 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.”
The Bible says we will be judged by the 10 commandments. We need to overcome sin through Jesus. When we die, if we are still proud, selfish, unloving, unkind, then we cannot enter heaven. Thank God Jesus can remove sin from us, as we cannot do it.
Ec 12 13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
All good works comes from God. All desire to do good and to love God and love others come from God.
In heaven everyone will keep the Sabbath
Is 66 22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”
If the Sabbath ever existed and was given to Adam and Eve, and all prophets kept the Sabbath, and all apostles kept the Sabbath, Jesus says in Revelation 12 that His true end-time movement will keep the Sabbath also. Then Isaiah also says in heaven everyone will keep the Sabbath. It makes no sense to believe that the Sabbath would have been done away. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.
Jesus keeps the law through faith
Jn 14 10 “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”
The works that Jesus did were by faith. The Father did the works through Him. Why are so many Christians believing that they have to work and do something for heaven? Our part is faith, not works. If it is by works, then it is no more of faith. Salvation is not of works. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.
Jesus’ end-time movement will keep the Sabbath compared to Babylon that will teach the law is passed.
Re 14 12 “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Jesus says here is the group that keeps the Sabbath compared to over there; on the other side is Babylon. This is the great body of modern Christianity which has fallen under the second angel’s message of Revelation 14.
By rejecting the first angel’s message, they became Babylon. They fell under unbelief. They fell from the truth. The group that teaches Babylon teachings, that the Sabbath is done away with, is led by Satan. Please, my brother, come out of her. And do not partake of her sins and the plagues that will be falling on the majority of Christian churches. Study the 3 angels’ messages. Read The Great Controversy by Ellen G. White.
