He abolished the Law "in His flesh" as it says in the verse.
But do you understand what he means?
No.
Go on. Tell me what your version of that means.
It was abolished "in His flesh."
It still applies to the born-again believer but in a new way.
Do you know what "in His flesh" means and what Paul is talking about?
No.
Go on. Tell me what your version of that means.
Great. Now I don't sin by having other gods before me and adultery is no longer a sin.
Thanks.
You obviously do not understand what the abolition of the Old (Mosaic) Law implies and what it does not imply.
Do you think adultery was OK before God embedded that moral law in the Ten Commandments for the Israelites?
Adam sinned. Sin comes from sinner.
God did not create Adam a sinner as you claimed.
Here's something to think about.
In the OT the Law was type and shadow of the Holy Spirit. It was HE (the Law) God promised to put in our inward parts (Jer. 31:33.)
Christ fulfilled the Law.
Christ abolished the Law "in His flesh."
The Spirit of Christ is within us.
Thus, the Law is within us in the Person of the Holy Spirit. When we violate the Law within us, He addresses our sin through our conscience from within not from without which was the Law written on stone.
Paul says the Law is holy, and just, and good. Scripture also says "the Word of God endures forever." So, it cannot be abolished. It is forever. To say the Law, which is type and shadow of the Holy Spirit, is abolished then this is tantamount to God abolishing Himself (suicide) and that's also impossible.
It doesn't say Christ abolished the Law. Period.
It says Christ abolished the Law "in His flesh."
Now, can you take this to its reasonable conclusion?
What does it mean "in His flesh?"
I answered you/this above. Take some time and think this through. At least you went to Jeremiah 31:33ff.
You can get this.
As gordon777 said I have now discovered "how you reject every scripture given your way and return an answer ( excuse/diversion) why you do not approve of what was shown to you."
