I slept with 4 different women yesterday, because I truly love them did I commit a sin?
I stole a Bible in order to read and know God did I commit Sin? I lied to someone today. I commited a sin. And I'd be commiting another sin if sinful me starts doing God's job telling you if you sin or not.

You Make me laugh.
"Had man continually fellowed Jesus" this is your statement. How do we know what Jesus will do and not do?
Me you and billions of people did not have the priveldge of meeting Jesus.
So how do we know things we can do and things we are not allowed to do in order not to offend Jesus?

You read out of context. Paul is simply saying that we have been released from the penalty of the law which is death. Remember that people were stoned to death for breaking any of the 10 commandments. Why because the wages of Sin is death.
Paul asked the people that since we are no longer to stone people are we now allowed to continue to sin(break the law) he gave the answer as no. rather we should establish that is keep the law.
Remember God cannot change, what God called and saw as sin 10000yrs ago he still regards as sin today.
If people were stoned for breaking the sabbath,committing adultery stealing, disobeying parents. then tell me why they would not be punished by God for doing the same now?
I beg to disagree. And even if we were to go along with your position, you would still have to agree that believing that means that the law is out of the way. Because, if you are bound by the law, you are also condemned by the law if you sin. You cannot be under the law and say you are set free from the penalty. If you are under the law, you must observe every pin of the law. If you discard one, you discard all. You dont cherry-pick the law. However, I dont see your reason that Paul was talking about the death pronounced by the law. He cant say that cos that is not how the law is practiced. You observe everything. Lets look at the verse again. Roms 7:6 But now we have been released from the Law, because we have died to that which restrained us, in order that we might be slaves in a new sense by the spirit and not in the old sense by the written code." Paul was clear as to what he was saying, notice the use of old sense and new sense. He also made reference to written code. So, i dont see how you concluded he was referring to death pronounced by the law. if we are to see things the way you recommend, it becomes hard to reasonably assemble your point. You said it is only the Ten commandment that was not annulled, yet you are talking about stoning an adulterer, one disobeying the mother, sabbath breaker etc. The ten commandment did not say such persons be stoned. So, why will Paul or anybody on your side of understanding be concerned about death? Was it not the other laws that pronounced stoning? Did the ten commandment pronounce stoning or even killing an adulterer? It is true that Paul expanded on his point by saying that the Law made sin more sinful, and thus produced death. verses 4-5; "So, my brothers, you also were made dead to the Law through the body of the Christ, that you might become another’s, the one who was raised up from the dead, so that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were living according to the flesh, the sinful passions that were awakened by the Law were at work in our bodies to produce fruit for death." So, Paul made his point; That the law made sin to be obvious to those under law, thereby delivering them to death. Now, notice that in verse 6, Paul didnt say that we have been released from the death resulting from sin as made evident by the law. Nope. Rather in verse 6, he said that we have been "released from the law." Why could he not rightly say "released from death of the law?" Because that would make no meaning. The law is a body of rules, you cant choose one and live the other in as much as you are under the law. If you are under it, you have to stick to the punishment stipulated by the law. On the other hand, if you are released from the law, you can still choose what you can apply based on new direction issued by Jesus. So, you can learn that to steal in bad, to commit adultery is bad, in fact, that to even fantasize about the body of someone not your mate is bad too. But can you be stoned? nope. because you are no longer under the law. That covenant that brought the law, that gave it validity has been changed by a new covenant made with Jesus blood. (heb 9:15-19). heb 7:11-12 If, then, perfection was attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for it was a feature of the Law that was given to the people), what further need would there be for another priest to arise who is said to be in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek and not in the manner of Aaron? 12 For since the priesthood is being changed, it becomes necessary to change the Law as well." This is certainly not a change in concerning death. Did you notice that because God brought about a change in the priesthood, that necessitated a change in the law? why? the same reason, you cant do something different when you are under the law covenant.

You are just confusing and contradicting yourself.
Paul was reffering to the Levitical law and not the ten commandments. We have been released from the penalty of the law which required stoning of those who transgressed it. Here is Paul on the law.

Please explain Romans 7:4. Our website uses cookies to function properly. By using our site , you agree to the use of cookies . We take your privacy seriously . For more information : See our privacy policy Attend a Congregation In this verse, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the Law by the body of Christ; that you should be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” Many cite this scripture to prove that the Law of God is no longer in effect. It is important to note that Paul stated, “You…are become dead” (Romans 7:4 , Old King James Version). He did not say, “The Law is dead.” Christ’s sacrifice did not do away with God’s Law. Rather, by the acceptance of His sacrifice (repentance—leading to baptism and the receiving of the Holy Spirit) as the payment of the death penalty for their sins, the people had become dead to the Law. (Notice Galatians 2:20 .) Now notice Romans 7:5 : “For when we were in the flesh [before conversion, and while we lived according to the pulls of the flesh, and the influence of Satan and the world], the motions of sins, which were by the Law [notice verse 7 ], did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death .” While we were sinners, not having God’s Holy Spirit, we were only worthy of death , having broken His Law ( Rom. 3:23 ). In verse 6 , Paul writes, “But now we have been delivered from the [certain death penalty of the] Law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter” ( New King James ). Keeping the Law does not save anyone. Christ’s sacrifice did that. But Paul, whom most churches love to quote as the source of their belief that the Law is done away, wrote, “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. No, I had not known sin, but by the law [analogy: A driver would not know that he is breaking the speed limit if the speed limit were not clearly posted. He might be pardoned in that case. But, once a speed limit sign is visibly posted, there would be no excuse for future speeding]: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shall not covet” ( Rom. 7:7 ). And although merely adhering to the speed limit does not save a person from the possibility of having an accident, the law still requires him to travel at or below that speed (“To him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin” ( James 4:17 ). In addition, if Christ’s sacrifice did away with the Law, there would be no such thing as sin. If that were the case, then, aside from the gospel accounts, why should the term “sin” even appear in the New Testament? Christ Himself stated, “I have come not to destroy, but to fulfill.” How is it then that anyone, Paul included, could even have the authority to come along and say that the Law is void? Picture the following scenario: A person is brought to trial for committing every hideous crime imaginable. These crimes were each witnessed by hundreds of people, each having testified to the person’s guilt. Not only that, but there is more than sufficient forensic evidence to convict the person of the crimes. The loopholes and red tape of today’s legal system notwithstanding, the person is guilty beyond all shadow of reasonable doubt. He deserves the death penalty. But the judge, knowing that the person is legitimately sorry for, and repentant of, the acts he has committed, decides to pardon him. However, the justice system demands that someone pay the penalty for his crimes. The judge’s own son, who has never broken a single law, never even imagined it, volunteers to be executed in the person’s place. The judge agrees with this decision. He poses the “deal” to the condemned individual, stipulating to him the one condition of his undeserved, complete and total pardon: “From this day forward, you have…absolute freedom and license to do whatever you want—to break any law, or at least and especially those that you feel are unfair or unjust, or inapplicable to you personally. My son has done nothing, absolutely nothing, to deserve to die, and has freely volunteered to die in your place. You are therefore… relieved of any responsibility to keep any law. You may lie, cheat, steal, murder, rape, and do anything that any specific situation in which you find yourself would deem necessary, comfortable, or convenient. You have the right to disregard, and even prosecute, any and all who would have the audacity to tell you that your actions are wrong (in either an illegal or immoral sense) or that you should be expected to live your life in any dissimilar fashion from that previously practiced. If you choose to accept the terms heretofore set forth, you have my complete and unconditional blessing. Court dismissed.” While most professing Christians (and even individuals who are non-religious) would find the above scenario absurd, it is the very way in which they view God’s Law— that Christ’s sacrifice eliminated the need for obedience to it. In no way does Romans 7:4-6 prove that God’s Law is void. There, Paul merely points out that by dying for us, Christ paid the penalty of the Law for us. And, as Romans 6:3-4 shows, we are dead with Him. (Again notice Galatians 2:20 .) As Romans 8:1 shows, we are no longer condemned, because, through Christ’s Resurrection, we are also made spiritually alive (6:4-5 , 11 ). |

Which one is law of faith?
Paul has already told you that faith does not nullify the law rather that we should establish the law. Read that chapter well and more carefully. I do understand your position here, and why you reached that conclusion. Paul asked do we abolish law (mosaic law), he answered no, rather we establish law. Some translation say, "we uphold law". It is sort of open to question. However, we cannot dismiss the fact that there is law of faith. verse 27 made that clear. But one would ask, is Paul saying we establish law, how? The law is already established before faith came on board. In fact he cant be stating that law of Moses is established by faith since he drew a contrast from verse 27. A contrast that obviously showed the weakness of the law. How? verse 30 showed that God declared people uncircumcised righteous even though they were not observing the commandment of the law. So the law of faith rules supreme. Not the Mosaic law. So, in verse 31 it will be a contradiction if paul was saying that they are establishing law of the jews. He is apparently saying that we are establishing the law of faith. But of course, one can make a case that the place is talking about the law of the jews. So, there is another way these could be understood. The law aimed at making people righteous. However, because of sin, it couldnt reach that goal, but faith did. it made people not under the law to be declared righteous. So, it upheld the law, it furthered the course of the law,and achieved it. So, it is not against the law in that it took off from where Law stopped and lead to the goal of the law - to make people righteous. (Roms 8:3, 4) This however does not mean that the law continuous effective. It is weak already. A stronger law can help reach it's goal. The context does not support any establishing of law, in the sense of encouraging its observance. I dont see that conveyed by the context. Since the context suggests that without the law people are declared righteous. So, why observe what has weakness? what has limitations? 1 Like |

Please explain Romans 7:4. Our website uses cookies to function properly. By using our site , you agree to the use of cookies . We take your privacy seriously . For more information : See our privacy policy Attend a Congregation In this verse, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the Law by the body of Christ; that you should be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” Many cite this scripture to prove that the Law of God is no longer in effect. It is important to note that Paul stated, “You…are become dead” (Romans 7:4 , Old King James Version). He did not say, “The Law is dead.” Christ’s sacrifice did not do away with God’s Law. Rather, by the acceptance of His sacrifice (repentance—leading to baptism and the receiving of the Holy Spirit) as the payment of the death penalty for their sins, the people had become dead to the Law. (Notice Galatians 2:20 .) Now notice Romans 7:5 : “For when we were in the flesh [before conversion, and while we lived according to the pulls of the flesh, and the influence of Satan and the world], the motions of sins, which were by the Law [notice verse 7 ], did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death .” While we were sinners, not having God’s Holy Spirit, we were only worthy of death , having broken His Law ( Rom. 3:23 ). In verse 6 , Paul writes, “But now we have been delivered from the [certain death penalty of the] Law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter” ( New King James ). Keeping the Law does not save anyone. Christ’s sacrifice did that. But Paul, whom most churches love to quote as the source of their belief that the Law is done away, wrote, “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. No, I had not known sin, but by the law [analogy: A driver would not know that he is breaking the speed limit if the speed limit were not clearly posted. He might be pardoned in that case. But, once a speed limit sign is visibly posted, there would be no excuse for future speeding]: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shall not covet” ( Rom. 7:7 ). And although merely adhering to the speed limit does not save a person from the possibility of having an accident, the law still requires him to travel at or below that speed (“To him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin” ( James 4:17 ). In addition, if Christ’s sacrifice did away with the Law, there would be no such thing as sin. If that were the case, then, aside from the gospel accounts, why should the term “sin” even appear in the New Testament? Christ Himself stated, “I have come not to destroy, but to fulfill.” How is it then that anyone, Paul included, could even have the authority to come along and say that the Law is void? Picture the following scenario: A person is brought to trial for committing every hideous crime imaginable. These crimes were each witnessed by hundreds of people, each having testified to the person’s guilt. Not only that, but there is more than sufficient forensic evidence to convict the person of the crimes. The loopholes and red tape of today’s legal system notwithstanding, the person is guilty beyond all shadow of reasonable doubt. He deserves the death penalty. But the judge, knowing that the person is legitimately sorry for, and repentant of, the acts he has committed, decides to pardon him. However, the justice system demands that someone pay the penalty for his crimes. The judge’s own son, who has never broken a single law, never even imagined it, volunteers to be executed in the person’s place. The judge agrees with this decision. He poses the “deal” to the condemned individual, stipulating to him the one condition of his undeserved, complete and total pardon: “From this day forward, you have…absolute freedom and license to do whatever you want—to break any law, or at least and especially those that you feel are unfair or unjust, or inapplicable to you personally. My son has done nothing, absolutely nothing, to deserve to die, and has freely volunteered to die in your place. You are therefore… relieved of any responsibility to keep any law. You may lie, cheat, steal, murder, rape, and do anything that any specific situation in which you find yourself would deem necessary, comfortable, or convenient. You have the right to disregard, and even prosecute, any and all who would have the audacity to tell you that your actions are wrong (in either an illegal or immoral sense) or that you should be expected to live your life in any dissimilar fashion from that previously practiced. If you choose to accept the terms heretofore set forth, you have my complete and unconditional blessing. Court dismissed.” While most professing Christians (and even individuals who are non-religious) would find the above scenario absurd, it is the very way in which they view God’s Law— that Christ’s sacrifice eliminated the need for obedience to it. In no way does Romans 7:4-6 prove that God’s Law is void. There, Paul merely points out that by dying for us, Christ paid the penalty of the Law for us. And, as Romans 6:3-4 shows, we are dead with Him. (Again notice Galatians 2:20 .) As Romans 8:1 shows, we are no longer condemned, because, through Christ’s Resurrection, we are also made spiritually alive (6:4-5 , 11 ). I ll respond later. |

There seems to be a disconnect here. I do agree that the law delivered us to death. But notice the point here. Paul was talking about the law of a man to his wife. The wife is free if the man dies. When married to a new man, he obeys the new man's laws. You did well by saying that people have become dead to the law. Now, true Christian are now married by another husband - Christ. We now live by the law of the Christ, not by the law of the Jews which we died to. Christ used his blood to purchase us to be his own. We now live by his laws. You did agree that Christ died for us, he paid the old husband, that keep highlighting our sins and demanding our death. He paid him the death penalty for us, and now married us to himself. We are now under his laws. I wonder why you didn't reach that conclusion. That's the analogy Paul was making. Keeping the Law does not save anyone. Christ’s sacrifice did that.

If that were the case, then, aside from the gospel accounts, why should the term “sin” even appear in the New Testament? With or without the law code sin has always been around. Anything not in harmony with God's personality is sin. Anything contrary to his standards, ways, will. Anything that destroys man's relationship with God is sin. View Pauls words from context. He was writing to people who knew the law. During his lifetime, the law has been around. So Paul got to know about sin from the law. He met the law from birth cos he was born a jew.That does not mean that sin is never sin until a law codes comes up. No. Adam and Eve was condemned without the Mosaic law. Cain knew what he did was wrong because God warned him not to kill his brother. Sodom was destroyed and many died in Noah's day even before the Law came on board. 1jhn 5:17 says all unrighteousness is sin. So anything contrary to God personality is sin. Why the law? To make sin more sinful, to expose our weak state and help us to look forward to a ransom. However, many who served God had to Know about what is bad from the law code. Not that it was never sin, it was, but many did it unknown to them that they were sinning. Christ Himself stated, “I have come not to destroy, but to fulfill.” How is it then that anyone, Paul included, could even have the authority to come along and say that the Law is void?

In that scenario, assume that the man under charge of death is given asylum by another nation, the nation gives another person to die on his behalf. When into the new nation, he follows the new nation's laws. That will make the analogy fit. Read Romans 7:1-3. Law being out of the way doesn't mean disobedience reigns supreme.

Read that chapter well and more carefully. I do understand your position here, and why you reached that conclusion. Paul asked do we abolish law (mosaic law), he answered no, rather we establish law. Some translation say, "we uphold law". It is sort of open to question. However, we cannot dismiss the fact that there is law of faith. verse 27 made that clear. But one would ask, is Paul saying we establish law, how? The law is already established before faith came on board. In fact he cant be stating that law of Moses is established by faith since he drew a contrast from verse 27. A contrast that obviously showed the weakness of the law. How? verse 30 showed that God declared people uncircumcised righteous even though they were not observing the commandment of the law. So the law of faith rules supreme. Not the Mosaic law. So, in verse 31 it will be a contradiction if paul was saying that they are establishing law of the jews. He is apparently saying that we are establishing the law of faith.
But of course, one can make a case that the place is talking about the law of the jews. So, there is another way these could be understood. The law aimed at making people righteous. However, because of sin, it couldnt reach that goal, but faith did. it made people not under the law to be declared righteous. So, it upheld the law, it furthered the course of the law,and achieved it.

You make me laugh. every where you see the word law you assume it is the 10commandments. Of course it cannot be the 10commandments because we are told that been circumcised or not what matters is keeping the law of God. Looking at the context in which h the word Law is applied we can see that it is the ceremonial or law of Moses that require circumsion for the Israelites that is been referred to. Now in Christ Jesus weather we observe or don't observe those ceremonial laws it does not matter What matters is keeping the 10 commandments which is eternal. 1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what |

What was changed was the law concerning priesthood and not the 10 commandments. Priests were people from the tribe of Levites but when it came to Christ the law had to be changed just as Melchizedek king of Salem was a priest of God without father or mother(not from the tribe of Levite's) So also Christ priesthood was. https://www.str.org/blog/what-does-change-of-the-law-in-hebrews-7-12-mean-video |

I beg to disagree. And even if we were to go along with your position, you would still have to agree that believing that means that the law is out of the way. Because, if you are bound by the law, you are also condemned by the law if you sin. You cannot be under the law and say you are set free from the penalty. If you are under the law, you must observe every pin of the law. If you discard one, you discard all. You dont cherry-pick the law.
However, I dont see your reason that Paul was talking about the death pronounced by the law. He cant say that cos that is not how the law is practiced. You observe everything. Lets look at the verse again.
Roms 7:6 But now we have been released from the Law, because we have died to that which restrained us, in order that we might be slaves in a new sense by the spirit and not in the old sense by the written code."
Paul was clear as to what he was saying, notice the use of old sense and new sense. He also made reference to written code. So, i dont see how you concluded he was referring to death pronounced by the law.
if we are to see things the way you recommend, it becomes hard to reasonably assemble your point. You said it is only the Ten commandment that was not annulled, yet you are talking about stoning an adulterer, one disobeying the mother, sabbath breaker etc. The ten commandment did not say such persons be stoned. So, why will Paul or anybody on your side of understanding be concerned about death? Was it not the other laws that pronounced stoning? Did the ten commandment pronounce stoning or even killing an adulterer?
It is true that Paul expanded on his point by saying that the Law made sin more sinful, and thus produced death. verses 4-5; "So, my brothers, you also were made dead to the Law through the body of the Christ, that you might become another’s, the one who was raised up from the dead, so that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were living according to the flesh, the sinful passions that were awakened by the Law were at work in our bodies to produce fruit for death."
So, Paul made his point; That the law made sin to be obvious to those under law, thereby delivering them to death. Now, notice that in verse 6, Paul didnt say that we have been released from the death resulting from sin as made evident by the law. Nope. Rather in verse 6, he said that we have been "released from the law." Why could he not rightly say "released from death of the law?" Because that would make no meaning. The law is a body of rules, you cant choose one and live the other in as much as you are under the law. If you are under it, you have to stick to the punishment stipulated by the law. On the other hand, if you are released from the law, you can still choose what you can apply based on new direction issued by Jesus. So, you can learn that to steal in bad, to commit adultery is bad, in fact, that to even fantasize about the body of someone not your mate is bad too. But can you be stoned? nope. because you are no longer under the law. That covenant that brought the law, that gave it validity has been changed by a new covenant made with Jesus blood. (heb 9:15-19).
heb 7:11-12
If, then, perfection was attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for it was a feature of the Law that was given to the people), what further need would there be for another priest to arise who is said to be in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek and not in the manner of Aaron? 12 For since the priesthood is being changed, it becomes necessary to change the Law as well."
This is certainly not a change in concerning death. Did you notice that because God brought about a change in the priesthood, that necessitated a change in the law? why? the same reason, you cant do something different when you are under the law covenant. You have to follow it to the later.
Hebrews 7:12 – “A CHANGE OF THE LAW” September 27, 2019 - by Admin Context is so important in coming to a proper understanding of what is spoken. That is true for our day-to-day conversations about earthly activities. It is equally true as we study the Bible. Disregarding the context of a biblical statement can bring about unwarranted conclusions, cause confusion, and even lead to teachings which contradict God’s truth. The text of Hebrews 7:12 consists of one sentence: “For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.” Let us break that declaration down into three thoughts and then examine them one by one. “For the priesthood being changed” – To get a grasp on this passage’s meaning, you guessed it, context is of the utmost importance. In the previous verse, two distinct priesthoods are mentioned: (1) something called “the Levitical priesthood” and (2) a priesthood “according to the order of Melchizedek.” It is crystal clear from the first ten verses of this chapter (Hebrews 7:1-10) that there is a definite distinction between those two priesthoods named above. First of all, “the Levitical priesthood” refers to the priesthood which was ordained by God to function in the nation of Israel under the law of Moses. “Levi” originally was the name of one person – the third oldest son of Jacob (Genesis 29:34). “Levi” later was used to identify the tribe of Levi, and any person who was from that tribe (and thus a descendant of Levi), was called “a Levite.” Per God’s arrangement, under the old law all priests came from the tribe of Levi (Deuteronomy 18:1). Thus, the terminology “the Levitical priesthood” that we read in Hebrews 7:11. In addition, in that same verse we read of a priesthood “according to the order of Aaron.” That expression is another way of designating “the Levitical priesthood.” You see, under the law of Moses, not only were all authorized priests from the tribe of Levi, but they also were required to be the descendants of Aaron, Moses’ older brother. Thus, the priesthood “according to the order of Aaron” and “the Levitical priesthood” were one and the same. What about the priesthood that is according to the order of Melchizedek, which is mentioned in Hebrews 7:11? That priesthood is introduced in this letter in Hebrews 5:6. According to the prophecy of Psalm 110:1-4, the Messiah was to be a priest after the order of Melchizedek. In the book of Hebrews, Jesus is the one who is pictured as the high priest of Christians and a priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Prophecy made, prophecy fulfilled. But, wait a minute: Jesus was from the tribe of Judah, not the tribe of Levi (Hebrews 7:14). That being true, how can He function as our priest? Answer: Per God’s decree, the priesthood has been changed. That is, the priesthood which is in force has been changed. That leads to the important conclusion which the Holy Spirit spelled out for the Christians to whom the book of Hebrews was addressed: “There is also a change of the law” – That does not mean that the message of a particular law itself was changed. Rather, it means that, per God’s plan, there was a change in which law is in force. The law of Moses was a covenant between Jehovah and the nation of Israel (Deuteronomy 5:1-3). It was God’s will for the old law to be a temporary law, serving to bring the Israelites to the Christ (Galatians 3:23,24). Jesus took that law out of the way in order to establish His new covenant (Hebrews 10:9). In the language of Ephesians 2:15, Jesus abolished the old law, meaning that it was no longer in force. The old law/law of Moses came from God, so it was a good law (Romans 7:12). It was in force for about 1500 years. It fulfilled its purpose. Then what? God said since the priesthood changed, then the law changed, too. Anyone today who continues to attempt to follow the old law is following a system of instruction that no longer is in force. Do not miss the powerful point of Hebrews 7:12: if the priesthood has changed, so has the law. “Of necessity” – Someone decided that this logic applies: if the priesthood has changed, then the law must change, too. Whose reasoning is that? The Lord’s. That has to count for something, correct?! Why was it necessary to change the law? Because God said so. Trying to be joined to two laws at the same time would be a form of spiritual adultery. For Christians to be married to the Christ, they must be dead to the old law (Romans 7:4). The law of Moses served its purpose, but it was not suitable for the spiritual kingdom over which Jesus reigns through “the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). If God said the plan governing which law is to be in effect had to change, then that change cannot be brushed aside. A person recently told me that for God to take away the old law and put in its place a new system “is rude.” Not rude at all, friend. It is God’s wisdom at work and God’s love on display.

There seems to be a disconnect here. I do agree that the law delivered us to death. But notice the point here. Paul was talking about the law of a man to his wife. The wife is free if the man dies. When married to a new man, he obeys the new man's laws.
You did well by saying that people have become dead to the law. Now, true Christian are now married by another husband - Christ. We now live by the law of the Christ, not by the law of the Jews which we died to.
Christ used his blood to purchase us to be his own. We now live by his laws.
You did agree that Christ died for us, he paid the old husband, that keep highlighting our sins and demanding our death. He paid him the death penalty for us, and now married us to himself. We are now under his laws. I wonder why you didn't reach that conclusion. That's the analogy Paul was making.
With or without the law code sin has always been around.
Anything not in harmony with God's personality is sin. Anything contrary to his standards, ways, will. Anything that destroys man's relationship with God is sin.
View Pauls words from context. He was writing to people who knew the law. During his lifetime, the law has been around. So Paul got to know about sin from the law. He met the law from birth cos he was born a jew.That does not mean that sin is never sin until a law codes comes up. No. Adam and Eve was condemned without the Mosaic law. Cain knew what he did was wrong because God warned him not to kill his brother. Sodom was destroyed and many died in Noah's day even before the Law came on board.
1jhn 5:17 says all unrighteousness is sin. So anything contrary to God personality is sin. Why the law? To make sin more sinful, to expose our weak state and help us to look forward to a ransom. However, many who served God had to Know about what is bad from the law code. Not that it was never sin, it was, but many did it unknown to them that they were sinning.
In that scenario, assume that the man under charge of death is given asylum by another nation, the nation gives another person to die on his behalf. When into the new nation, he follows the new nation's laws. That will make the analogy fit. Read Romans 7:1-3.
Law being out of the way doesn't mean disobedience reigns supreme. We can live by the principles found in the law. Jesus life and speech constitutes the law of the Christ.
OLD TESTAMENT Does the Old Testament Law Still Apply? It’s a question we all ask ourselves at some point: does the Old Testament law still apply? Read the passage below along with the notes taken from the Chronological Life Application Study Bible to help you explore this question. What is the Old Testament Law? The Old Testament Law is found in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This includes the Ten Commandments. “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” — MATTHEW 5:17-20 DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW STILL APPLY? If Jesus did not come to abolish the law, does that mean all the Old Testament laws still apply to us today? In the Old Testament, the law can be understood to have three dimensions: ceremonial, civil, and moral. ONE The ceremonial law related specifically to Israel’s worship (see Lev 1:2-3 , for example). Its primary purpose was to point forward to Jesus Christ; these laws, therefore, were no longer necessary after Jesus’ death and resurrection. While we are no longer bound by ceremonial law, the principles behind them—to worship and love a holy God—still apply. Jesus was often accused by the Pharisees of violating ceremonial law. TWO The civil law applied to daily living in Israel (see Deut 24:10-11 , for example). Because modern society and culture are so radically different from that time and setting, all of these guidelines cannot be followed specifically. But the principles behind the commands are timeless and should guide our conduct. Jesus demonstrated these principles by example. THREE The moral law (such as the Ten Commandments) is the direct command of God, and it requires strict obedience (see Exod 20:13 , for example). The moral law reveals the nature and will of God, and it still applies today. Jesus obeyed the moral law completely. THE ULTIMATE GOAL God’s laws were given to help people love God with all their hearts and minds. Throughout Israel’s history, however, these laws had often been misquoted and misapplied. By Jesus’ time, religious leaders had turned the laws into a confusing mass of rules. When Jesus talked about a new way to understand God’s law, he was actually trying to bring people back to its original purpose. Jesus did not speak against the law itself but against the abuses and excesses to which it had been subjected (see John 1:17 ). OBEYING > EXPLAINING Some of those in the crowd were experts at telling others what to do, but they themselves missed the central point of God’s laws. Jesus made it clear that obeying God’s laws is more important than explaining them. It’s much easier to study God’s laws and tell others to obey them than to put them into practice. How are you doing at obeying God yourself? HEART CHANGE > OBEYING The Pharisees were exacting and scrupulous in their attempts to follow their laws. So how could Jesus reasonably call us to greater righteousness than theirs? The Pharisees’ weakness was that they were content to obey the laws outwardly without allowing God to change their hearts (or attitudes). They looked pious, but they were far from the Kingdom of Heaven. God judges our hearts as well as our deeds, for it is in the heart that our real allegiance lies. Jesus was saying that his listeners needed a different kind of righteousness altogether (out of love for God), not just a more intense version of the Pharisees’ obedience (which was mere legal compliance). Our righteousness must (1) come from what God does in us, not what we can do by ourselves, (2) be God-centered, not self-centered, (3) be based on reverence for God, not approval from people, and (4) go beyond keeping the law to living by the principles behind the law. We should be just as concerned about our attitudes that people don’t see as about our actions that they do see. |

I don't see reasons to divide the law into three parts, thereby pointing out the one that is out of the way, the one that is followed by principle and the one that is fixed. We have discussed that. 1 Like |

What was changed was the law concerning priesthood and not the 10 commandments. Priests were people from the tribe of Levites but when it came to Christ the law had to be changed just as Melchizedek king of Salem was a priest of God without father or mother(not from the tribe of Levite's) So also Christ priesthood was.
https://www.str.org/blog/what-does-change-of-the-law-in-hebrews-7-12-mean-video I didn't discuss priesthood and Hebrews on this post. I see no reason to accept that you pick ten commandments and leave the other. You are already sinning against the law. Rom 7 helps us see that detaching the ten commandments from the rest is wrong. It is part of the law. We have discussed this. 1 Like |

You just proved that the 10commandments were existing before God gave it to the Isrealities. https://www.nairaland.com/3038010/ten-commandements-preceded-moses
That was an effort by you I must say. However, it will be a stretch to state that the ten commandments has been before the law came. The law came along thru covenant that God established with the Jews. Blood was involved in it. So, you can't compare that to what God said prior to the law's establishment. So, there's a difference. The thing is, God has always had standards of right and wrong even before the law came on board. 2 Likes |

Jesus did not ask you to stop obeying the 10commandments.
Matthew 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 God.
I did say to you that Jesus did observe the law. The law was out of the way after his death. Of course, he pointed out the principles in the law while alive cos this will replace the strict law observance. Notice in that Matthew 5, that Jesus did not isolate the ten commandments as the commandments he mentioned in verse 19. See verses 23,24 still encouraged animal sacrifice. Verses 33, 38 is also not among the ten. These are among the commandments Jesus mentioned in verse 19. I have said before, if you take only the ten commandment, you are rejecting the most important commandments which are: love God with all your heart, soul and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself. (Deut 6:5; Lev 19:18) these are not part of the ten. So all the commands, including the ten commandments emanated from these two. Yet these two is not part of the ten. I give advise: when considering the law, consider it as a whole. Do not detatch some from the rest. The law is a body of rules. They are together. 3 Likes |

In the new nation is he allowed to comitt the same of fence? Let's assume he is not allowed to commit that specific offence. The point is, he has now been adopted by another nation with a different law. The new nation's laws could have similarity with the old. But there will always be difference. The law of Christ is not just against murder, but helps us never to hate our fellow even in our hearts. It does not condone the actions condemned by the law.

You make me laugh. every where you see the word law you assume it is the 10commandments.
Of course it cannot be the 10commandments because we are told that been circumcised or not what matters is keeping the law of God.
Looking at the context in which h the word Law is applied we can see that it is the ceremonial or law of Moses that require circumsion for the Israelites that is been referred to. Now in Christ Jesus weather we observe or don't observe those ceremonial laws it does not matter What matters is keeping the 10 commandments which is eternal.
1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what It is out of the way because the law is out of the way, if not, you can't say you are a worshiper of God without being circumcised. Even Jesus himself, Paul and john underwent circumcision. It was so important that you can be circumcised on a Sabbath day. Paul said what he did because he knew the law was out of the way. If you transgress one part of the law, you erred in all. Have that in mind. 2 Likes |
