HEBREWS 7:11 - 19 11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a CHANGE OF THE LAW 13 For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar.EPHESIANS 2:11 -15 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.GALATIANS 3:19 - 25 19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.ACTS 15:1 -11 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. |

alchemist13: Splinz: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 - Luke 24:44 SMH, I dont know why it is this challenging to properly understand Matthew 5:17-18 In Matthew 5:17, Jesus DID NOT say: "Think not that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I come not to destroy them but to make them continue forever" but rather what Jesus SAID, in Matthew 5:17 is: " Think not that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I come not to destroy them but to fulfill them" So, keeping Luke 24:44 above, in mind, and again, as previously asked, the question is: What is the ''them'' (i.e. the Law or the Prophets) and what about ''them'' has Jesus come to fulfil? Now, revisiting Matthew 5:18, what Jesus made in that verse is a conditional statement, where He referred to two conditions and a probable outcome or result The first condition being that: ''until heaven and earth disappear'' meaning ''up to the point when heaven and earth disappear (i.e. Revelation 21:1 Matthew 24:35 etcetera) not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law The second condition being that: ''until everything (i.e. everything being all that is written about Him in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms) is accomplished'' then the probable outcome or result is that: '' the smallest letter, or the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law' Splinz, no where did Jesus mention or suggest forever and please dont even say ''...until heaven and earth disappear'' means forever or that since the earth is established forever, recall above giving Revelation 21:1 and Matthew 24:35 which counters this faux pas of yours Also Splinz, just as I earlier put to alchemist13, about putting the cart before the horse, if Jesus were to first abolish the law and prophets, what will remain to be fulfilled? Yeah, nothing, but when all is accomplished, then what needs abloished, gets abolished Dont you both understand that what Matthew 5:17-18 is saying that: the law and prophets will hold out, possibly forever, UNTIL they be fulfilled first. The law and prophets are/were waiting patiently for all they've said or prophesied about Jesus to be fulfilled and IT IS NOT saying that the law and prophets will be forever in a way that never ends or changes Please be mindful of Luke 24:44 when yall (i.e. you, blueAgent, MZLady39, alchemist13 and the rest) next think of Matthew 5:17-18 Splinz:This has been addressed and openmine after me too, duly impressed, provided verses to back up that the Law has been abolished so what you've put up here is an irrelevant post alchemist13: Splinz:The immediate above is another example of an off title and off subject comment |

MuttleyLaff:It is Obvious you are SICK. 21When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God ; I obey the law of Christ 1 Corinthians 9:20-21 You contracdict your own arugment. which Law is the law of God and christ paul said he will not ingnore?. |

Hi MuttleyLaff.... ![]() Since you mentioned me...I just wanted to say "hello" and move on. I couldn't read all of that...remember the strain on my eyes?? What was your age again?? Nevermind, I know you'll only speak in riddles. Hope you have a lovely day sir! |

MZLady39:You are not just so plastic but increasingly becoming infantile too. SMH. Ever heard of "if you want to hide information from a plastic person, put it in a post" |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by Nobody: 4:55pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
MuttleyLaff:Sir, Okay...I'm "fake", "plastic", "infantile", "delusional", "playing games" etc.... Anything else to add? Again I don't know what I did to you....Lord knows I don't. But whatever "it" is...be grown and address it. Life is too short. Stop shaking your head so much.....that thing is gonna fall off. |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by MuttleyLaff: 5:09pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
MZLady39:From day one I saw through you and your false humility. If you're asking about anything else to add, then, now you've turned paranoid and becoming unnecessarily worried that you've done something to me Is it your head? If it doesn't fall off, come and pull it off then. |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by Nobody: 5:18pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
MuttleyLaff:Are you kidding to that last sentence? I would expect you to act like a grown man...but it's obvious that you are not. I'm thoroughly convinced I'm speaking with a teenager. Well I'm sorry you feel that way about me. I can do nothing to change your mind.....so I won't try. Since Day 1?? Wow...you should've addressed my "false humility" then....not wait until now. I know you are trying to destroy my character......oh well....carry on sir. If it makes you feel better...do what you must do. I've been slandered on NL before.....so I guess it's time again. It's not the first...certainly won't be the last. I'd sure love to meet you face-to-face though.....where ever you are. |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by MuttleyLaff: 5:59pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
MZLady39:I am not kidding about the last sentence. I thought you said, my head will fall off, so what is wrong in me offering that you come pull it off, if it doesn't. You are just craving and seeking for attention. What you so much crave for, I'll give it, till you choke on it. I haven't waited until now, you conveniently forget I addressed it from Day 1. Sorry for yourself. You think too highly of yourself. I have better things to do, to be bothered with slandering you or wanting to destroy your character. At the rate, you've been going, I can't say the same about you, that I would like or love to meet you face-to-face... wherever you are |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by Nobody: 6:24pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
MuttleyLaff:Ok brother....if you can pull up the discussion thread where you addressed it "from Day 1", please bring it forth and I'll apologize. I''m feeling very sympathetic for you because something's got you very angry young man. I think no more highly of myself than any other Nigerian on this forum..so do better with that statement. If you are upset because of my belief about certain things, then you need to deeply pray about that. Ask the Lord to help you get rid of your hatred for me. He will give you the victory. My "plastic" self lives in the United States. I've been extremely honest and forthright about myself (almost to a fault). But that's cool..it's your choice. I cannot lose sleep because you don't want to meet me. As much as you want me to "hate" you, I don't nor will ever "hate" you brother. I like you regardless of the hatred you have recently begun spewing towards me. |

MZLady39:You are none the wiser. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Now why would I want you to hate me? And I careless, even if you're in the North Pole. Or you want a medal for being in the United States. You seem proud of it. Keep on marketing it that you're in the United States Seems afterall, you aren't capable of taking as much as you give. Look at the irrelevancies you've been posting and just above posted too. Maybe I should start face-palming since you're ''crocodile tears'' concerned over me shaking my head |

Ubenedictus:Why will i hide from a topic i started? It pathetic to know that most christains including you cannot read the Bible for themselves. |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by MuttleyLaff: 9:04pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
blueAgent:Because you haven't got the stamina nor sustaining power. You've bitten more than you can chew and that's one of the reasons behind your now used to hiatus. Watch you soon scurry away again blueAgent:...and you, unashamedly are number one on that list |

MuttleyLaff:you once again demonstrated your ingnorance and Naviety. The death penatly was not limited to Sabbath breakers but to the entire 10 commandments. (Numbers 15:32–36) As shown by this Bible verses Deuteronomy 13:6, 10; 21:18, 21; 22: 21-28, and all of Leviticus 20,you will read there are whole series of injunctions concerning the putting to death of persons who were idolaters, who were rebellious to their parents, who committed adultery or were guilty of incest, who cursed father or mother -- in fact, who violated any part of the moral code. Indeed, someone has estimated that no less than nine of the Ten Commandments are specifically mentioned in connection with the penalty of death for their violations . You can see that your argument against the sabbath based on death penatly does not hold water. |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by blueAgent(op): 9:18pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
MuttleyLaff:Lol......it is one thing to be ingnorant but it is unacceptable for one to be ingnorant of his ingnorance and capacity. |
| Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by MuttleyLaff: 9:51pm On Mar 14, 2017 |
blueAgent:I dont know about any argument holding water, but I do know that all along you prefer cherry-picking Anyway, asking again, shouldnt you be showing some gratitude and be thankful to God that the commandments were re-introduced with love responses/reactions and not death penalties repeated |
