How is the law abolished?

Yes, and it is also understood that Abraham was given the 613 according to Jewish stories.

Ever wonder how Cain and Able were instructed to give offerings and who instructed them?

We know by Genesis 3:21 the first offering was made by God when He made clothes of animal skins for Adam and Eve to cover their nakedness. It also foreshadows Christ's offering that covers our sin. We can only assume that God instructed Adam and Eve to continue to give offerings and that they instructed Cain and Abel to also do the same. The assumption is only a logical one as scripture is silent on this.
 
I was raised in NY too. Not NY NY, but the other NY

I don't know of him either. No, the poem was in the forward of a book on economics that I got from my mother some years back. A beast of muddy brain, it just kind of stuck with me.
Upstate.
Me Queens.
Out shopping with daughter and granddaughter.
Catch you later.
 
I'm sorry, but can you please explain how any of the ten commandments can be fulfilled?

Matthew 5:18 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.

Read through them as they are self explanatory while we are still here on this present earth that we keep these commandments, but will no longer need them in the New Jerusalem where we receive our rest in the Lord, free from sin and have the right to the tree of life.

You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make idols.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet.
 
A question on fulfilling the law.

Jesus held to all the precepts and comands of the laws, fulfilling them. Even to go further and fufill them for our sake by dying for our salvation. Fulfilling both Jesus's innocence before the law and being a spotless lamb, as well as fulfilling the sacrificial offerings that are part of the law to make us right by God along side repentance.

This shows that Jesus fufilled the laws but as it's been mentioned before does that mean Jesus's actions abolished the law? I don't know about that one and would ask a question on fulfilling the laws.

Does following Jesus and believing in Him also mean we should follow His footprints and fufil the law in our own lives as well?

A few thoughts (I am asking because I don't know the answer right now):

•Jesus said to be perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect. He said that the law will stand and not one Jot be removed from it tio all things are finished. He also said yo the disciples following him at one time, challenging them by saying "why do you cell me Lord if you don't follow my comands."

•On the other hand, the laws have been lessened for us by one of the first Christian consuls, when Paul brought up from his travels the growing split over Jewish Christians demanding obedience to all the laws, with gentile Christians that weren't Jewish and weren't asked to become Jewish inorder to recieve Jesus's salvation. In that meeting Peter gave his accounts from a dream he had before being led by the Spirit to a group of Gentiles that then recieved the Holy Spirit and showed the outward sign of speaking in tongues. The result of this consol was that the demand of the laws was lessened. With this in mind the context of Pauk's letters makes more sense to be free from the law and under the authority of Grace. (Though Paul also repeatedly warned to not disobey because of receiving grace).

The question again is whether as Christians we are asked to fufil the law as well because Jesus did, as an act of following Jesus; or if Jesus fulfilling the law nullified our need to commit to any of it.

The righteousness of God's grace through that of Christ has already fulfilled parts of the law as far as the Temple rituals and sacrifices. We, who are of Christ, are now the Spiritual Temple of God, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17. We continue to fulfill the Spiritual Temple rituals of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-26, and sacrifice of dying to self, submitting ourselves to God, and display the fruits of the Spirit until all is fulfilled in us when Christ returns.
