CHRISTIANS WHO STILL CITE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
...but ignore the ONLY TWO COMMANDMENTS of Jesus Christ, are rejecting Jesus Christ and His Gospel!! According to Apostle John, he is not a Christian but an antichrist!
I am continually amazed at the people who call themselves "Christians," and make reference to the 10 Commandments as if they were still bound by the Law of Moses but not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Why was it called the Law of Moses and not the Law of Jehovah or the Law of God?
Because it wasn't the Law of God! It was Moses' Law and was rightly called, "The Law of Moses."
Christ said,
Matthew 5:17
17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (sic).
Fulfill means ful•fill also ful•fil v. tr. ful•filled ful•fill•ing ful•fills also ful•fils 1. To bring into actuality; effect: fulfilled their promises. 2. To carry out (an order, for example). 3. To measure up to; satisfy. See note at perform. See note at satisfy. 4. To bring to an end; complete.
Christ continued,
Matthew 5:18-20
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.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Christ "completed," "brought to an end" the Mosaic Law meaning that is was no longer the standard upon which man would be judged. He said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (sic)."
Technicalities! Isn't bringing to an end, completing, rendering no longer applicable the same thing as doing away with or destroying?
Do away with, Yes, but destroy, No!
Christ went on,
Matthew 5:18
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
When will heaven and earth, as we know them, pass away?
Until then, said Christ, not "one jot or one title shall pass from the law." Did Christ come to fulfill the Mosaic Law but didn't let one jot or iota pass away?
Why?
The Book of Life if being written this very instant! All laws, whether secular or religious make up that Book of Life written in Heaven. At the Judgment of mankind, the Book of Life will be opened and we'll all be judged from it.
We are told that the Judgment will be "Perfect," meaning that no one will dispute his Judgment. In most cases, who is the most critical judge?
The individual him or herself!
Every man and woman will lay open his or her own Book of Life and will judge himself on what he did here with what he had to work with!
Some who read this are going to, think to only yourself I hope, 'Hot damn, I'm going to get to judge myself! Fantastic!"
Before you your start planning your deception, God said His Judgment will be perfect. Not only will Twelve Apostles sit as presiding judges over the proceeding but if you attempt to deceive or lie, the Holy Ghost will produce a hologram type video playback of every second in question. The key: live your life so your not ashamed of having it played back for you because it won't be pleasant!
After everyone has had the opportunity to the put their own behavior in the perspective of God's Plan for Man, the Book of Life will no longer be necessary. It is like making video tape to prove that a baby sitter beat your child. The video tape is the Book of Life! After your baby sitter is tried and sentenced for child abuse, the video tape is no longer important to you. Because of the law and potential appeals, the government prosecutor will probably keep the tape for twenty or thirty years depending on the case. However, in heaven, you will be the judge and there will be no appeals. You will pronounce your own sentence and Christ will step in and show you an extreme amount of mercy!
The simple fact that you were made the decision in the Pre-existent life as spirits, to come to earth, receive a body of flesh and bones and most importantly, be tested, all but a very, very few, the Sons and Daughters of Perdition will actually be sentenced to live with Satan and his billions of evil spirits.
Imagine how that will feel? The main desire of a spirit is to possess a body of flesh and bones. I feel sorry for those who, like Judas Iscariot, will have to live with billions of spirits, all fighting to share his and others resurrected body! That will be total damnation.
Others may not be resurrected to damnation but they will be resurrected to their own hell when they realize what they could have had for eternity, if for relatively a blind of an eye, they would of tried to learn the truth, been their own person and not rely on the sweet sounding lies of their Faith Merchant. If only they had believed in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and just been a Practicing Christian instead of having faith in a Professional Faith Merchant!
For true Christians and Muslims, adherence to the Law is no longer necessary for your salvation. Therefore, the Law of Moses and the 10 Commandments are no longer important for true Christians and Muslims. Those Christians who can't let go of the 10 Commandments, why do you not still follow the 613 Law of the Mosaic Law? Why do you not continue to observe the dietary laws? Do you shave every morning? Do you not get a hair cut monthly? When was the last time you ate a cheese burger? Do you not wear textiles of mixed cotton and rayon? When was the last time you wore a nylon wind breaker, a shirt or pair of pants that wasn't pure cotton? When was the last time you wore a suit? Each time you did one of these, you broke the Mosaic Law!
Offer up 10 turtle dove, 3 pigeons and prostrate yourself on the ground before God for three hours with no water or food!
We've seen that Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Law making it of no importance for true Christians and Muslims, other than for historical value. What commandments did Christ give man to replace the Mosaic Law? How about His Gospel? That's is what Christ came here for! To free the Israelis of the onerous and burdensome Mosaic Law and give man the freer, less onerous Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Christ did give man ONLY TWO COMMANDMENTS,
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
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.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour (sic) as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Read Verse 40 again!!!!!
“ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAWS AND THE PROPHETS,” which is to say that ALL THE LAWS and ALL THE PROPHETS since the beginning of time were given to man for the expressed purpose of teaching and getting man to adhere to these two commandments ONLY! All other verbiage is simply commentary, some of which are the nothing more than commandments of men he teaches for doctrines of God for some of Satan’s gold!
I know 20th Century born-Again Christians are quick to raise their hand to heaven, sway back and forth and sing, chant or shout, "Oh Jesus how we love thee!"
Christ called you hypocrites saying,
1 John 4:20
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth (sic) his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth (sic) not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
I pray that every Christian and ever Muslim will get beyond the need to hang on to the Ten Commandments and the Mosaic Law. Christ has liberated true Christians and Muslims from the 10 Commandments and 613 laws and has given man only two very tough and difficult commandments to keep, e.g. 1) Love the Lord thy God and 2) Love thy neighbor as thyself. Tough huh!
True Christians do not rely on the law of Moses or the 10 Commandment
but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
