The Law of Christ is Neither Ended nor Dead

RBDERRICK

There a some that teach the law of God is ended at the cross, and the letter of the law on paper is now dead: Christ came to kill His own law by Jesus dying on the cross.

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. (Rom 4)

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (2 Cor 3)


The law is nailed and ended at the cross, and so there is no more law of God, and where no law is, no man can transgress it anymore: the law written in Scripture can no longer define sin, convict of sin, nor judge and condemn for sinning.

The letter of the Law written in Scripture is no more law of God to judge us by.

So that now, the letter of the law only kills, so that anyone seeking to the do the law as written in Scripture, is killing themselves and falling from grace: it is now spiritual suicide to be a doer of the law of Christ according to the letter.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Rom 10)


The law is ended at the cross for them that believe Jesus, and doing the letter of the law only kills the faith of Christ.

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another. (Rom 2)

The people of God are now law unto themselves, who only obey what is written in their heart, Wherefore, so long as we do anything by our faith, then it it is righteous, and can no more be judged by Scripture as unrighteously sinning against God.

The only Scripture on earth that has power to judge is only that which is in the Christian's heart and mind: the Christians are a law and Scripture unto themselves.

The only righteousness of God on earth, is now whatsoever the Christian does by faith, with no objective law nor Scripture written on paper can say otherwise.

And so, is it no wonder that them believing this stuff, are also them that wrest, twist, ignore, and destroy any Scripture on paper to justify it?

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Cor 11)

That light would be that great darkness indeed, that thinks it sees in Scripture, the God of Scripture, killing any letter of His own word, that men may live according to their own faith, conscience, and understanding, without any regard to what is written in His Scripture of truth.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim 3)

Both the Scripture and the law of Scripture are still very much alive in Christ Jesus to both justify the righteous, and to condemn the transgressors.

Yes, even as the serpent declaring 'Ye shall not surely die', after his questioning and twisting of Scripture, it may indeed be a plain lie in the end, but he is still uniquely devilish in going about it.

But as with all false doctrine, no matter how subtilty devised, it is always built upon one twisting of Scripture, that when untwisted, the whole house of cards fall apart:

The law of Moses was nailed to the cross, not the law of Christ: the law of God is not now ended in death, but is only changed, both in letter and in spirit, from that the Old Testament to that of the New:

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. (Heb 7)

God is not dead, nor is His law: neither sinful natural man, nor the religious sinner will ever do away with God or His law.

God's law of Christ is now written forever in paper of Scripture, and in the book in heaven, and it shall never pass away, and shall have power to condemn and forbid entrance into the City to eat of the tree of Life:

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Rev 21)
