Understanding The Law Of Moses - With The Help Of The Prophets And The Apostles

[eddif]

That is debatable.

Your scripture doesn't verify your POV.

Paul was alive without the Law until he grew old enough to have a conscience of what the Law said was sin.
So I will agree that the Law defined what was sin.

Agreed, until he became aware of what was defined as sin.

OK.

Ok show the scripture that fits the law and tell why. Show why I am wrong. Show the scriptures that fit you and the law and tell why.

We are hopefully headed to truth.

Your statements are not self evident to me. Tell it like it are.

So debate

Man came to know good and evil. In confusion.

1 Corinthians 12:10 kjv
10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

IMHO thhe ability to tell good spirit from a bad spirit is a spiritual gift.

Jesus discerned the type of persons people were.

He said all are known by their fruit.

I have to generalize some with your question

The prophets sometimes knew good from evil by the spirit.

Don't know what passages you're referring to here, but people before Moses knew good and evil. For instance, Josephs' brothers knew it was evil to sell him into slavery. They lied to Jacob because they knew it was wrong.

The high priest used Urim and Thummim

Imho, the urim thummin is symbolic of Christs' righteousness, which is that he could have brought the law against sinners who sinned against him, but instead showed mercy. That's how the urim thummin devined judgement.

King David had to be told about Uriah

eddif.

David came after the law, but knew he wronged (sinned against) God because he hid. He also acknowledged,

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Psa.51:4

Paul said,

For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law Rom.5:13

Sin wasn't "imputed" as being against God, but it was regardless. That's why death still reigned without the law.

 

[eddif]

The law looks like a seed on the outside. You do not see the DNA story on the inside till revelation comes. I am not sure understanding is age related. Jesus told the disciples that the seed was the Word of God. The words seem to parallel the DNA. The death of th seed is the beginning of life.

John 12:24 kjv
24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

We have to die to self for us to live. I do not know the metabolics of seed germination. Can anyone help?

I see things this way. Some my not like Eph 2:15 but it is clear. Also
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances( 613); for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
We live by faith and God writes on our hearts what is right. I also think if one lives by the law they are required to follow all 613.
Gal 3:
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree

He said all are known by their fruit.

He works in us to will and do of his good pleasure. The ability to do good comes by God.

The knowledge of good and evil is the problem. We are to know only good. In our fallen condition the gift of discernment gives us the ability to know how to resist the evil.

Ezra 2:63 kjv
63. And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.

2 Kings 4:40 kjv
40. So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
41. But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast itinto the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

Seems to me the answers came from the Urim and Thummim

The law was from Moses to John the Baptist.
Luke 16:16 kjv

IMHO was in prophetic mode when King Davidspoke of sinning only against God

That is why the Prophets and Apostles. Are in the title of this thread. The prophets spoke of future things spoke of things not yet revealed otherwise (except in hard to understand symbolism).

To all those who think that all the laws have been fulfilled in Christ you are very wrong as below are the laws that are written upon our heart and can only be fulfilled when Christ returns and makes an end to sin by throwing it into the lake of fire with that of the beast and the false prophets. The only laws that Christ has fulfilled so far are that of the Temple and its sacrifices. Someone please show me in scripture where Jesus has fulfilled all the laws, because in Matthew 22:35-40 and Matthew 5:17, 18 Jesus does not say that he has already fulfilled all of them, but that love was the greatest of them all.

There are laws (commandments) of God that were especially written just for the Hebrews pertaining to the rituals of the Temple, sacrifices, festivals, Torah, Kohanim and Levites, the King and the Nazarite. Then there are the existing moral laws (commandments) for all of us to still follow as in prayers and blessings, love and brotherhood. The poor and unfortunate, treatment of the Gentiles, Marriage, divorce and family. Forbidden sexual relations, business practices, employees and servants. Vows, oaths, swearing, Court and Judicial procedures. Injuries and damages, property and property rights, criminal laws. Prophecy, idolatry and all its practices as the moral laws (commandments) keep us in line with the will of God.

We need to present ourselves a vessel of honor that God delights in as we allow the light of Christ shine in us and through us. This is a testimony of Gods grace and mercy as it is not ourselves that do any good thing, but Gods Spirit working in us and through us as we surrender our will to that of Gods will to be done.

Morality in God is His greatest commandment of love as we treat others as we want others to treat us. God is love and wants us to love and treat others as He loves and treats us.

Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

My opinion is that urim thummin represent the righteousness of Gods' people, like "the "breastplate of righteousness" it's attached to because of Jesus, the real High Priest... a robe of righteousness. In other words,

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord'sbody. 1Cor.11:29

the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.

Seems to me the answers came from the Urim and Thummim

I don't believe urim & thummin was a type of divination. It symbolized knowing through application. Those who,

by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Look,

And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; Deu.33:8

He seems to be saying, let the High Priest be faithful in the face of adversity.

Ok show the scripture that fits the law and tell why. Show why I am wrong. Show the scriptures that fit you and the law and tell why.

You posted..."Man did not know what sin was till the law existed."
But the word "sin" is used in the bible as early as Gen 4:7.
And again in Gen 13:13.
That is hundreds of years before the flood and before the Law was brought by God to the earth.

Eph 2: says the law is was done away with.

The law contains blessings and cursings. The "enmity" of the law, what is against us are the cursings for breaking it. So Paul is teaching that Jesus didn't use the law against people who sinned against him.

Heb 8:
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
I'm 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

He took them by the hand out of slavery as Spirit speaking by a prophet.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

And our Lord also said,

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Mt.12:42

Gods' intention in giving Moses the law had to do with showing us that we've all sinned against him and need repent.
Our Saviors' teaching on even entertaing thoughts about sin make his word even more stringent than the law.

He backed it up by rising from mans condemnation of him. By defeating those who said he was a law breaker worthy of death. According to Moses' law, Jesus was innocent. There was no lawful reason to condemn him as a sinner,

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father Jn.5:45

as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; Rom.2:20

there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. Jn.5:45
