The Old Testament Law is Obsolete – I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God
The Old Testament Law is Obsolete
The Old Testament Law which is obsolete, has been replaced by the New Testament Covenant. As a result of the death and resurrection of Christ, true Spirit filled believers understand that they are not under the Old Testament Law. This article will help the reader to understand the new Law of Christ.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
The Old Testament law is fulfilled as they come to pass in the New Testament revelations.
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
The Old Testament Law of Moses, written on tablets of stone, was given unto Israel after the flesh. These people continuously rejected God the Father and served many strange gods, only a remnant sought Jehovah through faith.
Jer 31:33 But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The second covenant was the Law of Christ written in the hearts of men, Israel after the Spirit.
This passage refers to the whole house of Israel. All of mankind can now believe in Christ and serve Him in newness of Spirit through faith, hope and love. Everyone that trusts in the cross of Christ is counted as the Israel of God.
Isa 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of them.
Isaiah prophesized of the true followers of God; this people would know the new law of Christ and it would be in their hearts and minds. Following the New Testament law of Jesus instead of the Old Testament Law of men, would enable them to one day receive redemption at the second coming.
Isaiah 51:11Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
This is the second gathering of the true Israel, the church that Christ bought; it also is a future prophecy awaiting the return of Jesus as King of Kings. Modern day Israel is a man made gathering of a people that for the most part despise Jesus. The second gathering of God’s Israel is a spiritual event dealing with a redeemed people; the word redeemed refers to our salvation when we are transformed at Christ’s second coming.
Old Testament Law Is Replaced By The New Testament
The New Testament Law Is Given Unto The Israel of God
Gal 6:15-16 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Some professing Christians consider Israel becoming a nation in 1948 as the God ordained second gathering; they also believe the inhabitants of this nation are the chosen ones; both of these fallacies are as far from the truth as good is from evil.
John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
To even consider that God would be a part of gathering a people that have the same belief system as those that rejected and killed His son is ludicrous.They were exiled because of their unbelief, and God calls His servants by another name (Isa 65:1-25).
Matt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee…Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
The lineage from Abraham to Christ is one of a genealogy of a group that were very much like each other; they all had the same pursuits, character and blessings in Christ.
Gal 3:28-29 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Mathew speaks of all the generations that start with Abraham, continue through David and end with Christ. All carries with it the meaning of all of a type, which in this case is the faithful believer. The blessings of Abraham come on all that have faith through Christ; the promises however were made to Abraham and his seed, which is Christ (Gal 3:14-16).
All who are in Christ are promised the inheritance of eternal life with Him, at His second coming, and all of these are counted as Abraham’s seed. To make a claim that you are of the tribe of Judah without being in Christ, and yet still have a special privilege is utter nonsense.
Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Righteousness comes through Christ’s victory over sin at the cross, to make the claim of righteousness through the Old Testament Law is sin and deceit.
As we are told in Galatians, we receive Christ’s Spirit by the hearing of the Word with faith.
Eph 6:16-17 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
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.
It 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.
The Old Testament Law Can’t be Mixed with the New Covenant of Christ
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
It is through Christ alone that the promise of inheritance given to Abraham and his seed could be realized; Abraham is the father of all who have this common faith in and blessing from Christ.
Gal 3:19 Wherefore then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Why then was the law given? It was because of sin, and it would only be in force until Christ came and nailed it to the cross (Col 2:14). Jesus slew sin on the cross.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Why would anyone want to go back to this condition, kept under the bondage of the Old Testament Law, as opposed to enjoying freedom in Christ through faith?
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
We cannot be under the justification of the Old Testament Law, as it has been terminated. Our justification now is in the faith of Christ; it is not the works of the law which no one can keep, and after Christ no one could keep.
The Old Testament Law instructed men that justification would come through Christ; some received this through faith in Him.
The law and the prophets were until John the Baptist. Those things that were written in the Law of Moses and in the prophets were fulfilled in Christ; Jesus brought to an end the Old Testament Law as He was the completion of it.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
No where in scripture does God promise any rewards to those who claim to be Jewish and practice Judaism, this excludes Him from having any part in establishing a nation for them. In stark contrast there are many verses condemning this particular religion, and all man made religions, and there are terrible judgments yet to take place in Jerusalem. To those who claimed to be Jews but where of the synagogue of Satan, Jesus informed them that their house would become desolate.
He told the parable of the vineyard to the false teachers that would help plan His murder.
Matt 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Jesus also told these chief priests of the punishment for their wicked actions.
Matt 21:40-41 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Below are a few descriptions of the judgments yet to come on Jerusalem.
Zech 14:1-2 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Jer 9:10-11 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
Christians to whom the gospel message was given and received, must produce fruits or likewise be punished.
They are not all the Israel of God just because they happen to reside in a place called Israel. The true Spiritual Israel is the whole family of God that calls upon Jesus.
Luke 1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Obviously this refers to all believers in Christ, as he did not only come to set free those that were in Israel but indeed all of mankind.
Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:
The Old Testament Law is Fulfilled in Christ
Math 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Math 5:17 presents us with a simple yet profound message of the workings of Christ that is not understood by many; what He is telling us is that He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament law and the prophecies; they were all about Him.
So Christ fulfilled the Old Testament law or contract, and once a contract has expired or is completed it is no longer then in force.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.
The New Testament law of Christ is all about Love, and His Spirit that makes it all possible.
Math 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
This is what Old Testament Law and prophets were all about, to show us the way of truth by operating in Love and not self centeredness.
Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
To think you are justified by the Old Testament Law is to believe in your own power unto righteousness; our works without faith and the truth of Christ are worthless (Phil 3:9).
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
To claim to be under the Old Testament Law is to desire to be placed under bondage again; the Spirit is not with the person that does not come to the freedom in Christ (Gal 4:3-9).
Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Rom 9:32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
They stumbled in not believing in the law of Christ, although the law and prophets only existed to show the way to Him.
1 Tim 1:9 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,
All those in Christ hunger and thirst for His righteousness, we never want to entangle ourselves with the Old Testament Law of sin and death, for the new law of the Spirit of life in Christ has delivered us from that curse (Rom 8:2).
Heb 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?
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
The old priesthood was temporal and imperfect, our high priest Jesus Christ is perfect and eternal. We now have a law unto Salvation, built on love.
Heb 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
The Old Testament Law and commandments were temporal and without strength; they had to be cancelled as they were only designed to bring us unto Christ; they were but a shadow of better things to come that would be realized in Jesus (Heb 10:1).
Under the old priesthood sacrifices had to be made year after year, but Christ was once offered for the sins of all of mankind (Heb 7:27-28).
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
The child of God that understands the word through the Spirit faithfully submits to the new Law of Christ. In the Spirit of Love we can fulfill His law.
Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
They which think they are justified of the Old Testament Law do not have any part in the inheritance. If you reject the Spirit of the Lord Jesus, and the power of His blood, there is no covering for you.
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Jesus gave us a new law that could be kept by all through His Spirit of grace and power; it consists of two transforming commandments that surpassed and replaced the first ten; these would prove to be impossible to keep for all who would refuse to put on the mind of Christ.
Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Here we have an example of Jesus Christ already teaching the New Law.

John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

did your god use a pen or a pencil to write the TORAH on the out side of your heart? It 5 long books it must be in very small letters.
And again why use an “abolished old worthless law”, why write the Torah which you all hate, in your nature??
I would love to read how you explain that one.
Ask God.
Your issues are clearly with Him and the UNWRITTEN covenant He is making with Israel (as you know very well that that is what is meant by the law being written on Israels heart in contrast to the WRITTEN law of Judah).

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?
Destined what are the “works” of the Law, The 10 Commandments all are about NOT DOING something. NOT WORKING.. The only one were are to DO is the the 4th and we are to rest from our labors.
So again what are the “works of the law”?
Did you receive the Spirit by offering a lamb or by faith? The works of the law is the sacrificial law which Jesus Christ fulfilled by His death. HIS death was the completion of what the sacrificial law pointed to — the death of Christ.
The animal sacrifice was the school master leading us to Christ.
Just thought you would like know. you can thank me later
What law is wriiten on your heart if it isn’t God’s Holy Law the Ten Commandments?
I truly feel sorry for so called Christians that sincerely believe they do not have to obey the Creator.
amminadab
in Jeremiah 31: 33 the word for Law is Torah, it is the whole Torah God is putting into our natures.
Perhaps you can borrow Truthseekers biro then. Remember to number all the chapters and verses.
There is only one Law in the entire Bible.
Not the laws of Moses called ordinances. Not the 613 rules the Old Testament Israelites were told to obey.
Only one Law was written by the finger of God on stone signifying its permanence.
This same Law is written on our hearts when we accept Christ as our Savior.
Hebrews 8:10
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Hebrews 10:16
“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.”

one final question from me;
are you and the other muslims that have and are overrunning the EU going to attempt to burn it to the ground in a few months?
That will cause a strong man to arise and take over Europe.
when a few million muslims with IQ’s of 80 or less, because of inbreeding with theirs sisters and mothers as their god demanded, try to burn down Europe they will not stand down for long.
You and your muslims buddies anti-Semitic fantasy states will burn themselves down.
You do, after all, want all Muricans who are in denial of they and their and your anti-semitic existence burned alive don’t you?
You are physical Israel.
Physical Israel is physical death.

I am coming to you for a clear answer as you present yourself as an expert teacher of the Gospel.
You and most of so called Christianity hate the Holy Law of God!
For my own understanding “please” I really want to understand why the Law that states adultery and fornication, murder, lying, lust, idols and all the others are harsh and must be abolished??
Why does it make sense to you that a law that states killing an individual is wrong and a burden?
Please do not tell me it is because keeping the law to become righteous and gain eternal life is over—
If you must make that assertion please show me exactly where that is shown in the Word of God as after almost 50 years of study I never found one scripture to that effect.
I am thanking you in advance for you swift reply.
For my own understanding “please” I really want to understand why the Law that states adultery and fornication, murder, lying, lust, idols and all the others are harsh and must be abolished??
======
Jesus and St Paul covered all of them. The LAW is abolished because God couldn’t make a new heaven and a new earth for the benefit of such a wicked world so he relented on that law breaking definition of wickedness (that needed sacrifice every year to atone to God) and once and for all sacrificed himself and his law instead. No more law = no more wicked world = a new heaven and a new earth.
im aden
that takes my breath away!!
Because the law that fines a person for running a red light– is so difficult– we will just take away that bad Law and every thing will be ducky peachy keen ???? LOL
I hope you are not serious?

I recommend a real Bible, comic books just do not contain the same information.
Are you another muslim??

I realize you have decided to just skip the God (Torah) died bit.
Nevertheless your wordly physical Israel being wordly physical death is only a problem for you not for Christianity.
It’s laws were Roman.

I will not respond to your answer, I just want to understand,
Truth you can’t handle the Truth.
We know who you are your lies and deception and hatred for Christ is quite obvious!
Look don’t go away mad but by all means go away!
Your discussions are on a kindergarten level you are dealing with a group of advanced learned scholars one in the group holds a doctorate!
So this reply is not really for you as you are looking to bring as many as possible home with you. But at least you’ll be very warm there.
The passages below are crucial to the understanding of Christianity and what Christ has brought for all mankind. They also contain a strong warning to all who insist on self-righteousness through dead works and ultimately deception and denial of the Faith.
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.
Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
The verse above is of no consequence for those wrapped up in the deception of Babylonian talmudism, AKA judaism. It should however be of grave concern to one who claims to be a Christian.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
How is it that you are so blind? Is it not because all you have is the wisdom of this world which is foolishness with the Eternal God-Jesus?
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Christ is the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets!
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
None were justified by the Law of Moses, but All can be justified by Christ Jesus.
Lets cut to the chase here; the judaizers would have you believe that they are justified by the Old Law which is a blatant lie, and the gullible so-called christians suck it up like poison kool-aid! Acts 15:5-11 still is happening today.
The problem for many religious folks still is self-righteousness unto dead works and the hatred of God!!
Jesus is God— that is the real problem that this and other groups will not come to terms with.
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
None can be justified by the Old Law, period.
Rom 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.
Below is another mystery to the blind! The Righteousness of God without the OLD LAW!!!
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
So go ahead and boast in your dead law of works, We WILL boast in the Faith of Christ Jesus!! Amen!
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Yes we establish the New Law of Christ through? Yes through Faith.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
This is one item amongst many that the judaizers and there cohorts lack.
Faith in anything other that there so-called superiority complex, that is has been and will be their destruction!!
Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Faith in Christ brings about ones righteousness; self centered lies bring about destruction.
So the judaizers and their christian dupes are not even part of the promise.
How devastatingly sad; they all claim to follow something that the Word itself declares is impossible to do.
Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Here is another parable for you to ponder?
Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Here is the answer to that parable!
Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Yes there we have it, The Holy Spirit of Christ for all who are thirsty for Truth!!
Here yet another parable to ponder, you figure it out.
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Now, what do you want to do? Be in bondage to sin and death?
Or have Life abundantly in Christ Jesus.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Yes the Old Law could not do for us what Christ can and did at Calvary.
Rom 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:
Below is a sad History of the past, but it also quite accurately reflects the mindset of many within the religions of judaism and christianity (without the Holy Spirit of Christ).
Rom 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
God first came to Israel, and first gave this people the promises to be received by Faith. Abraham was a great example his Faith pleased God.
Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
All who are in Christ Jesus are the True Israel of God.
Gal 6:15-16 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Rom 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Like Israel after the flesh that had rejected the Father, so too would these children of Judah reject the Lord and forfeit the right to be redeemed, or to be affectionately called the Israel of God (Jer 7:11; Math 21:13; Jer 7:11; John 1:9-14; Rev 2:9; Rev 3:9). Born again believers are the true Israel of God, for we worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
By the way becoming Born Again is when you have received the sealing of Christ, and His Holy Spirit of Truth resides in you.
Anyone with Spiritual discernment in Christ knows that He declared the false house of Judah to be desolate; their house was declared desolate as was their religion (Math 23:38; Acts 26:5; Gal 1:13-14).
Christ came to confirm the covenant with many, and only Born Again believers are the true Israel of God; as well they are the only ones to be recognized as the children of God. The true Israel of God, represent all who are in Christ Jesus. Those who continue in His covenant are indeed rightful Heirs of the Kingdom (Heb 8:6-10).
Eph 5:6-11 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Nations, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
The righteousness of Faith is the only way to please God, and it is not reserved for self-righteous hypocritical deceivers.
Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Christianity in large part and Judaism, think they are justified by works, and not only works but that of a law that disappeared as it were with the blood of Christ. How unfortunate not to accept such a precious gift.
Rom 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Rom 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Make no mistake about it the stumbling block was and always will be Jesus the Christ, God manifest in the flesh a mystery for sure.
We will leave you the reader with a final warning on the deception of justification through the Law of Moses, which obviously after Christ proved a lack of Faith.
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.
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.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Till the seed should come to whom the promise was made. Can you at least figure this passage out?
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
I Will Bless Those That Bless Thee, And Curse Those That Curse Thee
Gen 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
This blessing was to Abraham, not modern day Israel! Mathew speaks of the generations that start with Abraham, continue through David and end with Christ. The blessings of Abraham come on all that have faith through Christ. The reason for this is that the promises were made to Abraham and his seed, which is Christ (Gal 3:14-16).

IF you will release me from my promise to not respond — I will respond.
I thank my Father that I have been taught at His knee and not in the schools of men, nope I have no doctorate, all that I have came from above.
destined2b
I am waiting I want to respond, not to the entire comment but to just a few small points,
an uneducated person like me with no degree or doctrine is that much of a threat? with your vast team and all the decades of learning how can I be more then a thorn in your little toe?
Truthseeker
all that I have came from above.
=========
You get your Bible stuff from a wall TV in a bar?
you wrote
“Truth you can’t handle the Truth.”
ain’t that the TRUTH
seekerstruth I see you BIN..ed your story AGAIN ….Oh my… all the PROOF…… …”as it is written”….removed ?
Ever thought of writing a book instead ? as you like to write fantasy stories, many go on to write books to explain the World according to themselves… BIN has a few budding Authors….I think it must be therapeutic…
You could call it ‘Seekerstruth a Truth you just won’t believe” or “How to be Justified by LAW KEEPING”…something close to the heart and mind ?
seekerstruth …have a great weekend
Here is what Jesus said:
Matthew
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from The Law, till all be fulfilled.
5:19 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.
5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall EXCEED [the righteousness] of the lawyers and politicians, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, the people that are saying that God’s Law has been done away with, are against Jesus.

Mat 5:17
¶
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
jesus is the fullfillment of the Old Law all of the prophets and all of the law were unto Christ KJesus
How is it that you can not all see what is plainly taught by the Creator of ALL things Christ the Messiah???
Gal 4:21
¶
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Gal 4:22
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Gal 4:23
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Gal 4:24
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Gal 4:25
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Must we explain these verses to you as well?
Or how about the following a little clearer for those of you who only have the wisdom of this world!!
Gal 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
You really think you are justified by the Old Law??
Gal 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Here is the problem for most, they are led by their own minds which is foolishness with God!!!we are gifted with the understanding of His (Christ’s) Word because of His Holy Spirit.
Gal 6:2
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Yes, and this one is for you Truthbreaker or Truthseeker we do not need to be told not to kill or commit adultery it is all contained in the New Law of Christ and that is His Law of Love!!
Here is a verse for you phony judaizers
Gal 6:13
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
Here is a verse for you self-righteous hypocrites jew and christian follower alike!
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;
Paul who followed this wicked cult got it why not you you arer without excuse
Phl 3:9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
The Old Law was made for this group of people described below, it does indeed also describe many today.
1Ti 1:9
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,
Are you who claim to under the Old Law also claim to be under the Levitical priesthood?
Heb 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?
Christ is our High Priest,what about you??
Heb 7:12
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
The Law of Christ given to all is quite different
all very interesting, nice discussion.
What do you make of heb. 6:4-8? 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 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.7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
how about eph. 5:3-7? 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
how about rev. 21:8? But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
or rev. 22:15? For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
It would seem that God is against sin. You have to know the law in order to measure what God calls sin, and what is not sin. Perhaps it has a place in Christianity after all. What do you think? There are people out there who walk the aisle, shed a tear, say the sinner’s prayer, sign an interest card, and walk out of evangelistic rallies never to be seen again. These people are sure that they have a “Get out of hell – Free” monopoly card they can throw down at their own last judgement, since after all, they prayed the prayer and are justa as good a christian as anyone else. “After all”, they say, “we are saved by grace”.
Sorry, bud, but the bible does not teach “once saved, always saved”. That seems to be where you were going with your article, but you seem to have left out that paragraph.
There are a lot of people who live for the devil 6 days a week and show up in church on the 7th who are going to be surprised come judgement day.
The article “The Meaning of Paul’s Message in Galatians” explains it:
http://jahtruth.net/noti.htm
What in the world are you even talking about are you even in this discussion
once saved, always saved” what does this have to do with anything in the posted article
You people Really!~!!
destined2binthefire
I am backing off of BIN– but not because of your large group of highly educated brilliant scholars — LOL
ALL trained BY MEN — in the wisdom of this world— i.e. Satan’s world — But because this earth has passed the point of no return.
I am backing off because I see the prophecy of Jesus Christ in Matthew 24: 4 rising to the full.
There are many self described “christians”, thousands of flavors to choose from, teaching that Jesus Christ IS THE CHRIST and are deceiving millions with that message and these millions will soon begin to murder those that are following Jesus Christ. They will be doing their god a service.
Your moment is coming, the moment you finalize realize –YOU — are fulfilling Matthew 24: 4 — then it will be too late, you will be in the Time of Jacob’s Trouble.
In this time of trouble God will be bringing the 10% Remnant of the nations of Israel, God’s tithe the very ones you have cast into the garbage, to repentance and they will return to Jerusalem by the 2nd Exodus to meet Jesus Christ.
I pray you will be blessed and can be in that remnant.
