The Old Testament Law Can’t be Mixed with the New Covenant of Christ
The Old Testament Law Can’t be Mixed with the New Covenant of Christ
Mark 2:21-22 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Old Testament LawIt is impossible to mix the New Testament Covenant that has the saving blood of Christ, with the Old Testament Law that did not, they simply do not agree with each other. Putting new wine into an old bottle will cause both to perish, because the old bottle is not designed for the new. Under the Old Testament Law there was a temple that God’s Spirit dwelled in, under the new law of Christ we are the temple that he dwells in (1 Cor 3:16-17; 1 Cor 6:19).
Many claim to be partially under the Old Testament Law and therefore do not fully accept the new law of Christ; this is quite unfortunate.
The new law of Christ is not only better, it also happens to be the only choice available, as the old has passed away. Any man in Christ is a new creation and all things have become new; this new bottle refers to the vessel unto honor that we purge from iniquity as is required for the Holy Spirit to reside in; old things or events of the past such as the old law are passed away (2 Cor 5:17; 2 Tim 2:21).
John 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now
Jesus Christ has brought forth the good or new wine which is the new covenant, last; the first wine which was the old covenant was not nearly as good. Also the first was fulfilled or completed in him on the Cross, and has vanished.
Heb 8:13 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.
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Old Testament Law given unto the Hebrews with the commandments and ordinances were to be received by faith; to attempt to keep these works or letters of the law without faith in God was unprofitable and dead. Likewise Christ came and gave the new law. Without the hearing of faith, the spirit that He sent would not be received; it is the infilling of the spirit of Christ that allows us to understand His word. To operate in the flesh with self-righteousness is also unto dead works.
Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
The correct interpretation for the word covering is graven image. Isaiah tells the story of a people that God had called who rejected Him by following the counsel of wicked men. They replaced His Spirit and covering for their sin with abominable idols unto Baal covered with gold.
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
All who share in the faith of Abraham now are of one family. This faith was not in the letter of the law, but in the one who gave the law; all who serve God in faith are counted as children of Abraham.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
The Old Testament law was a covenant between Jehovah and the Hebrews; this law had Ten Commandments written on tablets of stone. The New Testament is the covenant between Jesus and all who call upon His name; this law is the Spirit of Christ unto life; Christ’s law has only Two Commandments that are written on men’s hearts and in their minds (Heb 10:16; Math 22:37-39).
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Christ, on the cross abolished the law of commandments and the ordinances; as a result he made it possible for all to be of the commonwealth of Israel.
Romans 8:2-4 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 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: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Those that live for the flesh care for the things of the flesh; it is this carnal nature that leads to death as it is a separation from God. When we live in the Spirit, the righteousness of the law of liberty in Christ may be fulfilled.
Those that stand in the liberty of the new law of Christ are never to entangle themselves with the Old Testament law of bondage (Gal 5:1).
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
We are not justified by the works of Old Testament Law, or the ordinances, rules and offerings. We can only be saved through faith by the working of Christ’s grace.
Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Under Old Testament Law, if you offend in one point you are guilty of all. Galatians chapter four explains the bondage of the first covenant and the freedom in the second.
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
It is clear that no one can be declared righteous through Old Testament Law; as well no man can keep the old law. The keeping of the Sabbath is not a commandment that is still in effect; this doctrine of men is taught to and followed by countless people today.
Christ never told us to keep the Sabbath. The keeping of even one day holy unto the Lord was contrary to man’s nature, and thus the reason for the Old Testament Law.
Living in Christ enables the Spirit filled believer to regard every day as holy.

Mr. destined to be
Sorry that is not what Jesus Christ says;
Matthew 5
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.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Did you read verse 19 — you sir are the least in the kingdom — if you ever make it in.
Matthew 19
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
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.”
WOW READ that again — please—- “if you will 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,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Well we know for sure Christ is talking about the 10 Commandments — don’t we?
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
So far Jesus Christ says you have not one clue what you are talking about.
there are hundreds more — shall I bring them up???
Mat_5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Joh_10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Joh_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.
Jas_2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas_2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas_2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jas_2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas_2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Jas_2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas_2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas_2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Jas_2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Jas_3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Again you are saying we can all ‘BE SAVED’ and kill, lie steal fornicate and bow down to idols, along with not keeping the sabbath holy.
don’t answer me, ask yourself, does that make any sense at all?
If Messiah had done away with the commandments then why was He judging His churches by their WORKS?
Rev_2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Rev_2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Rev_2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev_2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Rev_2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Rev_2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev_2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Rev_3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Rev_3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Rev_3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Rev_3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
just want to add a different translation to ST. JAMES 2;22 (read verse 21, as you have it, then.) Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God , and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. (Rom. 4 and Gal. 3)
and all the verse from Rev. at the end , just read all of those, as if God is saying them to you
peace be in Jesus christ
