THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

"...shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments." Ex 20:6.

"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions ("of the law" 1 John 3:4) from us...to such as keep His Covenant and to those that remember His commandments to do them." Ps 103.

"With my whole heart have I sought Thee: O let me not wander from Thy commandments. Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee." Ps 119:10-11.

"I will run in the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart." Ps 119:32.

"Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments; for therein do I delight." Ps 119:35.

"And I will delight myself in Thy commandments, which I have loved." Ps 119:47.

"Therefore I love Thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold." Ps 119:127.

"I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for Thy commandments." Ps 119:131.

"He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain My Words: keep My commandments and live." Pro 4:4.

Jesus said, "And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:17.

"If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept the Father's commandments, and abide in His love.." John 15:10.

When Jesus gave us "The Two Greatest Commandments," He was quoting the law: Deut 6:5;Lev 19:18:

"Then one of them which was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying, Master which is the great commandment IN THE LAW?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thine soul, and with all thine might. Deut 6:5. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Lev 19:18. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matt 22:37-40.

"By this we know that we love the children of God (Lev 19:18), when we love God (Deut 6:5) and keep His commandments: FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and His commandments are not grievous." 1 John 5;2,3.

Jesus said, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." John 14:15.

Jesus said, "He that hath My commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him." John 14:21.

"Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God." 1 Cor 7:19.

"And hereby we do know that we know Him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. He that saith, I KNOW HIM and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him." 1 John 2:3,4.

"And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in him, and He in him." 1 John 3:24.

"And this is love that we walk after His commandments." 2 John 6.

His Church Keeps His Commandments: "And the Dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Rev 12:17.

His Saints Keep His Commandments: "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." Rev 14:12.

"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have RIGHT to the tree of life, AND MAY ENTER IN through the gates into the city." Rev 22:14. The Apostle John makes a connection between keeping the commandments of God and entering into eternal life.

Even in heaven, the Lord makes quite a statement about His Covenant: "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple The Ark of His Testament: and there were LIGHTNINGS, and VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and AN EARTHQUAKE, and GREAT HAIL." Rev 11:19.

There was only One Covenant within The Ark - THE TEN COMMANDMENT COVENANT.

Hi herald ,and I know that you believe that we should keep the 10 commandments !!!

In Rom 13:8-10 , Paul has quoted some of the Law of Moses !!!

#1 , But , Paul did NOT quote them all , and their has to be a reason , right ???

#2 , Why not ???

#3 , And you will not explain Eph 2:12 , where Gentiles were never given the Law !!!!

#4 , What do you say ????
 
The law of Moses was the Ceremonial law, which was fulfilled at Calvary - We do not sacrifice animals anymore:

CEREMONIAL LAW:

1. Is called, "the law contained in ordinances." Eph 2:15.
2. Was spoken by Moses. Deut 31:24-26.
3. Was written by Moses in a book. 11 Chron 35:12.
4. Was placed in the side of The Ark. Deut 31:24-26.
5. Was nailed to the cross. Col 2:14.
6. Was abolished by Christ. Eph 2:15.


THE TEN COMMANDMENT COVENANT:

1. Is called, the "royal law." Ja 2:8.
2. Was spoken by God. Deut 4:12,13.
3. Was written with the finger of God. Ex 31:18.
4. Was placed inside The Ark. Ex 40:20.
5. Is to "stand forever and ever." Ps 111:7,8.
6. Was not destroyed by Chris. Matt 5:17,18

The Ceremonial law was temporary, the Ten Commandments were written by God, reveal His character (In contrast to ours) and are eternal. The Holy Spirit uses them in our sanctification.

The Jews had the WRITTEN LAW were as the Gentiles did not. Even though the Gentiles did not have the WRITTEN LAW they were instructed to keep it. Paul taught the Gentiles to keep the commandments of God.
 
The Ceremonial law was fulfilled at Calvary. The Ten Commandment Covenant was not. Have you read my post on "The New Covenant?" The Ten Commandments are throughout the New Testament. If you can't find it on this site, go to www.thelordiscoming.co.nr.

The word enmity means "hostility." #6. Was abolished by Christ. Eph 2:15. Matthew 5:17
[ The Fulfillment of the Law ] "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Ephesians 2:15 NIV.
by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
Ephesians 2:15 KJV
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even/of the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain/both one new man, so making peace;... Jeremiah 31:33. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;[And grafted Branch] After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
 
The Old Testament version of being born again is thus: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments and do them." Ezek 36:26,27.

When His Spirit is within us, we are empowered to obey His Word/His law.

In Psalm 119, the word, "Word," is used interchangeably with, "law," "commandments," "judgments," "precepts,"statutes," "testimonies."

GOD'S WORD IS HIS LAW

"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Rom 3:31

"I am crucified with Christ..." Ga 2:20.

"What shall we say then? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? God forbid. HOW SHALL WE THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN?" Rom 6:1.

Jesus said, "He that rejecteth Me and receiveth not My Words, hath one that judgeth him, THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak." John 12:48-50.

The Apostle John wrote, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW." 1 John 3:4.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: AND AS MANY AS HAVE SINNED IN THE LAW SHALL BE JUDGED BY THE LAW: For not the hearers of the law are just before God, BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED." Rom 2:12,13.

God calls the denominational system, "The Mother of harlots," in Revelation 17.

"And I heard a Voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins ("Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4) The denominational system has replaced much of the Word with tradition. When we replace God's Word with tradition, we are siding with Satan, who said, "Yea, hath God said...?"Gen 3:1.

How do we "Come out?" By imitating the Bereans: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11.

If you do not obey the Ten Commandments, you are lawless and will not enter into the kingdom of God. If you do not obey God's Word, you are lawless and will not have eternal life.

"But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers, only, deceiving yourselves." Ja 1:22.

Hi herald , and will you say that Ezek 36 , where the CONTEXT is Israel , !!!!!! How do you see , Eph 2:8 and Rom 10:9 ?????

#1 , are they the same ????
#2 , They seem contradict each other , but , does CONTEXT mean anything to you ????
#3 , Your Timeline , is already 2000 years off !!!!!
#4 , Can you POINT to where Jews and Gentiles are being SAVED by Ezek 36:25-26 or maybe you will use Jer 31:33 .
 
No, If you study The Strong's Concordance, you will find the law throughout the New Testament. If you want to read my post on "The New Covenant," go to http://www.thelordiscoming.co.nr. You will see that the Ten Commandment Covenant is throughout the New Testament.

Jesus prophesied that the Sabbath would be kept during The Great Tribulation, and we are not there yet. Matt 24:20.

God spoke through Isaiah the prophet saying, "For as the NEW HEAVENS and the NEW EARTH, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the Lord." Isa 66:22,23. We will celebrate the Sabbath in honor of our Creator.

"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue and people.

Saying with a LOUD VOICE, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS." Rev 14:6,7.

So, we see the Sabbath proclaimed in the Book of Revelation.

Hi herald , just one simple question , since you are AVOIDING all the others I have post in defense of What Paul wrote ,

#1 , what is your timeline as to when the New Testament will begin , with a verse ????

#2 , Can you link the New Testament with the Body of Christ ??????

#3 , Can you show that Eph 2:8 and Rom 10:9 are NOT condtradictory with Ezel 36:24-28 , but the conclusion , to me is that you keep repeating the same verse , where the CONTEXT , is Israel !!!!

Romans 9:6
It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
 
John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
Ingrafted Branches
Romans 11:11. Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
13I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry 14in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." 20Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. 21For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

22Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! Romans 2:28
A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29
No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.

John wasn't talking about the "denominational system".. John is speaking about what ALL the Bible is speaking of... Come out of the ways of the world, the harlot, the whore, the adulteress.

Isn't Israel accused of this enough to figure this out? Israel, the People of God, is a harlot when it follows the ways of man, rather than God... Any "system" that leads people away from God is a "harlot".

We are in a relationship with God, the analogy used is the marriage of one flesh, God to Man. When we "cheat", we are harlots.

This is just another way of expounding Psalm 1, or the Didache, or any such writing that speaks of the "Two Ways".

The New Covenant:

The Old Covenant was the Ten Commandment Covenant. Deut 4:13;Ex 34:28. The New Covenant is the Old Covenant engraved in our hearts and minds. Jer 31:31-34;Heb 8:10 - An Internal Covenant.

"Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men. Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tablets of the heart." 2 Cor 3:2,3.

#1 "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."

#2 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is is the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God AM a jealous God, visiting the iniquity (lawlessness) of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me: and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments."

"Wherefore My beloved, flee from idolatry." 1 Cor 10:14;Ga 5:20;Col 3:5;1 Thess 1:9;1 John 5:21;Rev 9:20.

#3 "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain."

"And men were scorched with a great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory." Rev 16:9;1 Pet 4:14;Rom 2:24;Acts 4:12;Phil 2:9,10;Rev 13:6.

#4 "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it." He never blessed and sanctified Sunday.

Jesus referred to Himself as "The Lord of the Sabbath." Matt 12:8;Mk 2:28;Lu 6:5. Jesus prophesied that the Sabbath would be kept during The Great Tribulation, and we are not there yet. Matt 24:20. The children of Israel, Jesus, His disciples, and the New Testament Christians kept the Sabbath holy. Mt 12:1,2,5,8,10,11,12;24:20;28:1Mk 1:21;2:23,24,27,28;3:2...Acts 1:12;13:14,27,42,44;15:21;16:13;17:2;18:4.

Isaiah prophesied that we will keep the Sabbath in His kingdom. Isa 66:22,23.

#5 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."

"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions )"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law" 1 John 3:4) ...TO SUCH AS KEEP HIS COVENANT AND TO THOSE THAT REMEMBER HIS COMMANDMENTS TO DO THEM." Ps 103. Covenants have conditions.

Even in heaven, the Lord makes quite a statement about His Covenant: "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple The Ark of His Testament: and there were LIGHTNINGS, and VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and AN EARTHQUAKE, and GREAT HAIL." Rev 11:19.

There was only One Covenant within The Ark - THE TEN COMMANDMENT COVENANT.
 
2 Corinthians 3:15  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

We see the problem for some today, is STILL the exact same problem as it was yesterday. Only when the heart turns to the Lord the vail will be taken away, and before this happens Moses is not believed. His writing is viewed as a burden, and the flesh fights it with hands and feet.

John 5:46  For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

Jesus says IF they had believed Moses they would also have believed Him. We basically cannot understand Jesus, when not believing that what Moses wrote are the words of God that are truth and are relevant. The fault was not with what God commanded, it was with the people that loved their flesh and the resulting rebellion more than God.

Do we believe The Lord Jesus Christ, or another jesus? That's the answer: "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me."

2 Corinthians 3:14  But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

In Christ we can see that the New Covenant is the Old Covenant Now written on our hearts. Magnified. What was a burden before now became the liberty in Christ to walk in the freedom of the Spirit by faith and because of our heart conviction do everything out of love.

Our response to His love is IF we love Him, more than our flesh, we will love His commandments and do them. The flesh wants to magnify the burden of Moses to show the impossiblity of the law, the loving heart has no such problem with it because it cannot deny itself. We must be born again. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Cor 15:22
 
Do we keep the ten or the approximately 180 given in the New Testament?

Believers are called to a higher standard than that of the Stone Law. We now have the desire and the power to do God's Will....not to just follow the ten commandments, but the law of love through faith in Christ Jesus. This persuasion to be keepers of the law and the commandments from the Old Covenant "cometh not of him that calleth you."
Galatians 5 said:
1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

If we do not keep the Ten Commandment Covenant, we are lawless and will not enjoy eternal life, that is what Jesus said, in Matthew 7:21-23:

"Not everyone that SAITH unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH the will of My Father which is in heaven.

MANY will say to Me in that day,Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity." (lawlessness) Matt 7:21-23.

"And hereby we do know that we know Him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. He that saith I KNOW HIM, and keepeth not His commandments is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby we do know that we are in Him." 1 John 2:3-5.

It sounds plain enough to me.
 
The Law And Grace.

Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Some time ago I always wondered what it means "he that DOETH the will of My Father which is in heaven."

wouldn't He at least told us what His will was? How do we know the will of the Father?

Turns out, He DID tell us His will !!
