My question is, what is the ministry of death in the passage above, what is the law carved on stone? Is that not the 10 commandment?

The ministration of death is the law. becos the bible says the wages of sin is death.Romans 6:23
and what is sin? sin is the transgression of the law.James2:9-12
When you break God's moral law the consquences is death. the bible says where there is no law there is no Sin.Romans5:13

example in a society were adultery is legal and accepted.if someone commits that offence.what will you charge him on? since it is legal.


If you read translated bible version.you see that what was done away with ,was the glory covering moses face.not the law written on stone.

ARE WE STILL UNDER D MINISTRATION OF DEATH OR HAS IT BEEN SURPASSED?

Sorry for my late response. i have been too busy lately.

You and most christains confuse Law & Grace.
Before the coming of Jesus those who sinned against God(which is the transgression of the law Roman 4:3) were punished by death, Bible examples are given below.becos this is the requirement of the law.(wages of sin is death Romans6:23)

The following texts clearly show what Paul meant
by the term “ministration of death”; they also
show that the law he referred to was the
Decalogue:
“And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord,
he shall surely be put to death.” (Leviticus 24:16).
“Whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day,
he shall surely be put to death.” (Exodus 31:15).
“For every one that curseth his father or his
mother shall be surely put to death.” (Leviticus
20:9).
“And he that killeth any man shall surely be put
to death.” (Leviticus 24:17).
“The adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be
put to death.” (Leviticus 20:10). In Moses' day
Israel was called a “nation” and also “the church
in the wilderness” (Numbers 14:12; Acts 7:38).
The church and the nation were united under the
immediate direction of God; it was a union of
church and state. Such a regime is a theocracy.
But the time came
when Jesus died .for our sins we moved from been subjected to the penalty of the law .which is death to grace.
Note.
What changed is the dispensation of Justice not the law. (death to grace) the law remains unchanged.

We are now reqiured to seek forgiveness through faith in JESUS..and to turn away from sin whenever we sin against God.

The law remains valid but its penalty for defaulters was changed. a bible example is given below.

One of the sections of Scripture that clearly
reveals Jesus’ teaching on law and grace is the
one in which an adulteress was dragged before
Him to see if He would pronounce the penalty
upon her demanded by the law—death by stoning
(John 8:1-11). Silent at first, He only wrote
something in the dust with His finger. Pressed by
the accusers to make a judgment, He told them,
“He who is without sin among you, let him throw
a stone at her first” (verse 7).
No one stepped forward. Instead, they slowly
dissolved into the crowd within the temple. When
all the accusers had left without condemning the
woman, Jesus, the only One who truly was
sinless, did not condemn her either. “Go and sin
no more,” He told her (John 8:11).
Because of grace, God’s benevolent kindness,
Jesus pardoned the woman from death for
something of which she was certainly guilty.
Expressed in today’s language, God’s grace was
His not giving the woman what she deserved for
the way she had behaved.
What did Jesus teach about law? This, too, is
revealed in the above account. He did not say to
the woman that she was free to carry on as
before, as if she hadn’t been pardoned. He
wanted her to change her way of living—to
repent. Essentially, He said, “Now, go Sin No more"

Was she to behave by the evolving norms of what
society accepts as tolerable behavior? Or was she
to behave by what she felt was an acceptable way
to live? The answer is no to both of these
questions.
The word “sin” reveals the answer. Sin means an
action or thought contrary to the law of God (1
John 3:4; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6), not to some
human standard. Jesus told her to live from then
on by the 10 Commandments. This teaching is
confirmed by other examples in the Bible.
Jesus told the wealthy young ruler that the way to
salvation required keeping the 10
Commandments (Matthew 19:16-21). Jesus
Himself kept all the 10 Commandments,
including the seventh-day Sabbath (Luke 4:16).
Obviously, Jesus wasn’t intimating that anyone
could earn salvation by keeping the 10
Commandments. Yet He taught and showed by
example that God has set a reasonable standard
of behavior for His children. That standard is the
10 Commandments.

Moreover, common sense tells us that pardoning
someone for committing a capital crime doesn’t
do away with the law that was broken. If anything,
it shows that the law carries force, for without the
pardon, the criminal would die!
