Jesus replaced the law as our authority. The coming of Christ cancelled all 613 laws (not just the Big Ten) when they were all nailed to the cross. We are no longer judged and put to death in regard to a sabbath day, weekly, monthly, or yearly celebration, or for eating such and such, etc.

Jesus fulfilled the laws of sin and death, and now we have rest and eternal life in Him. All the OT signs (keeping the sabbath, circumcision,,,,,) have been replaced with Jesus. The sabbath is about resting in Jesus because of his finished work.


Huh.....Thunderstick says you are wrong the the Big 10 were not cancelled.....

Another contradiction between Christians.....


God did not cancel the moral law of the 10 commandments as a moral standard, but He did cancel the death penalty it placed us under for sin when we believe in Christ. It is canceled as a way of righteousness as our righteouness comes now from Christ. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. The teachings of Christ supersede the 10 commandments and they are fulfilled in loving God and our neighbor according to the gospel. The moral law still serves as guide for those who will not believe and obey the gospel. It still points out sin and morality but it will never save us. The gospel goes beyond the law and thus fulfills it. Whereas the law say we are not to commit adultery, Jesus exceeds that and say we are not lust after another woman. However the NT says the Law is still in effect as a moral guide for the unbeliever.

"Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,"
