How do we honor the Sinai Commandments in the New Covenant?

Debate Information

How are the Sinai Commandments honored in the New Covenant?

Jesus commanded that we love Elohim above all else and love our neighbor as our self...these are the fulfillment of all the codified commandments from Sinai forward, including Moses' civil-ceremonial edicts (Matthew 22:36-40). Concerning "commandment keeping," Jesus was speaking to an audience who was under the law covenant given Israel's children (Galatians 4:4) but a radically New Covenant was being ushered in through the Gospel.

Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the New Covenant,

Jesus ushered in the New Covenant that was established in His own blood (Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Peter 1:18-19). The New Covenant is focused upon intimate relationship with Elohim through faith in the Son, Jesus our Messiah (John 3), and the "Law" that is relevant, applicable, in the New Covenant is NOT those which have been codified in stone and scratched upon parchment as given Israel's children for sanctification-eschatological purposes but the relevant "Law" in the New Covenant is the Spiritual Law as written upon the human heart on Day-6 of creation (Romans 6:14; Romans 2:14-15; Romans 7:6). In the New Covenant, the redeemed in Jesus by faith receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Ezekiel 36:27; John 14:16-17).

Honoring the Father in the New Covenant?

If one desires to honor the Father through obedience in the New Covenant, it is the indwelling Holy Spirit who employs the spiritual catalyst of a renewed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17 - a new creation) mated with the Spiritual Law (written upon the human heart) and the Spirit forms a "new creation" within the redeemed as the Holy Spirit arbitrates moral decisions and moral discernment by making the human conscience divinely sensitive to the Father's will in EVERY moral decision encountered during daily Christian sanctification and consequently the Spirit fulfills all Law through the redeemed via the production of divine "fruit" against which "there is no Law" (Galatians 5:16-23).

Spiritual Fruit v. Sinai and Moses,

It is the divine fruit produced by the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) through the redeemed in Jesus that fulfills the "Commandments" and actually honors the Father and this divine "fruit" substantiates and validates the redeemed as "disciples" of Jesus (John 15:8). Christians don't seek obedience to Sinai or Moses in order to attain righteousness with the Father (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:21) as that right standing with the Father has already manifest via the imputed-gifted righteousness of Jesus over the life of the one who believes Jesus is Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21); therefore, Christians don't seek codified Laws or the obedience to same for righteousness but Christians walk in imputed-gifted righteousness through faith and their behavior - obedience is the product of the divine work of the indwelling Holy Spirit, not self-righteousness in striving after letters that only condemn and curse (Romans 7:6; Romans 8:2; Galatians 3:10).

Purpose of Law?

Christians are to understand that the "Law" was given for the lawless, those who live in the desires of the flesh having no intention or desire to honor the Father or His divine will (1 Timothy 1:9); therefore, the Christian is not under Law but under grace (Romans 6:14); this, through the indwelling Holy Spirit given the redeemed in Jesus by faith (Romans 7:6; Ephesians 1:13-14).

Impotency of Codified Law?

The codified laws exemplified by Sinai and Moses' civil/ceremonial edicts were but a mere fragment of the comprehensive Spiritual Law as written upon the human heart; therefore, these codified laws could never adequately address every moral decision encountered on a daily basis nor could they engender intimate covenant with the Elohim as the codified laws are weakened and nullified as an instrument of righteousness (a right standing with Elohim) due the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12), a sin-nature that could never comply perfectly with codification; therefore, Sinai and Moses' edicts are properly labeled "the law of sin and death" (Romans 8:1-4; James 2:10) as they only define sin, they only condemned and cursed (Galatians 3:10) but provided no form of atonement or hope (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16); this, as the "letter kills but the Spirit gives life" (2 Corinthians 3:4-6); therefore, if you desire to honor the Father through obedience, this divine obedience that actually pleases the Father is ONLY possible through faith in Jesus as Messiah and a daily walk in Christian sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Codified Law is subject to obfuscation, justification, rationalization, by the sin-nature; not so with the Spiritual Law that is arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

In closing,

Honoring the "Commandments" is ONLY possible through obedience to the Father's will (John 6:29) and a daily walk in Christian sanctification meticulously guided by the indwelling Holy Spirit who is the Arbiter of the Spiritual Law and the redeemed human conscience (Galatians 5:16).

    How do we honor the Sinai Commandments in the New Covenant?

    Hello Rickey:

    Well, that's simple..  Line up the heathens on the edge of a pit, and fire away. !  

    Do you really think your message of hatred is breaking through??  You're like the yahoos I throw off my porch every day and they still come back.  You're like an infestation.

    Why did we need a covenant for such an arbitrary law broken as petty as 'worship me or else'? Why could not this god just create what it wanted without millenniums of human suffering and the threat of eternal punishment? Too stoopid and sadistic? Certainly it has no interest in bestowing freewill of any kind as 'worship me or else' is forced slavery. Most human like this imagined myth called god.

    RICKEYHOLTSCLAW BELIEVES IN A BLOODY SERIAL KILLER GOD NAMED JESUS THAT COMMANDED THAT INNOCENT INFANTS AND SUCKLING BABIES WERE TO BE MURDERED!

    "This is what the lord almighty says: "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; BUT SLAY both man and woman, INFANT AND SUCKLING, ox and sheep, camel and  ox.” (1 Samuel 15:3)

    As shown, Rickey is still RUNNING AWAY from this biblical axiom in the post/link below!

    RUN RICKEY, RUN AWAY FROM THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR DEPLORABLE JESUS AS
    GOD WHO MURDERED INFANTS AND SUCKLING BABIES!

    YOUR DEFLECTIVE AND NON-SEQUITUR QUOTE ONCE AGAIN IN RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR BABY KILLER JESUS!!!: @21CenturyIconoclast ; "It is your father that is the root of all evil and murder. "

    @21CenturyIconoclast ;  Yahweh is a Warrior...He is Sovereign over all life, including yours and you too will perish in death of the body and if you don't repent of your sin and sincerely trust in Jesus as your Messiah, you will perish in Hell as well.

    RICKEYHOLTSCLAW, ONCE AGAIN THE "KING" OF NON-SEQUITURS!

    YOUR ONCE AGAIN PITIFUL QUOTE RELATIVE TO YOUR INFANT AND SUCKLING BABY KILLER JESUS AS GOD: "
    Yahweh is a Warrior...He is Sovereign over all life, including yours and you too will perish in death of the body and if you don't repent of your sin and sincerely trust in Jesus as your Messiah, you will perish in Hell as well."

    We all notice that you don't call your god's true name as "JESUS" for obvious reasons, because it associates your Jesus mythical character with brutal and bloody murders within your toilet papered JUDEO-Christian bible. Therefore, how can sickening pseudo-christians like you pray to him knowing this blatantly biblical fact, other than for you and your wife to be schizophrenic when praying to him at the onset!  

    "Mommy, don't worry, I'll pray to our serial killer Jesus that murdered innocent infants and sucking babies before I go to sleep, I promise, okay?" 




    THE ATHEISTS IN THIS RELIGION FORUM KNOW THAT WE EASILY OWN YOU IS BECAUSE YOU DEFLECT WHAT WE FACTUALLY AND BIBLICALLY STATE TO YOU, BY YOU GIVING US  MORE NON-SEQUITURS IN RESPONSE, GET IT BIBLE DUNCE?! YEAH, YOU DO!  LOL!

    @21CenturyIconoclast ; @Factfinder ; @JulesKorngold ; @Joeseph ; Elohim is the Name chosen by the Holy Spirit to introduce our Creator in Genesis 1:1 and we learn over the next 4000-years that Elohim is also known as the Messiah, Jesus, who is our Creator; therefore, Elohim, a plural noun used with a singular verb, denotes the Father, Son and Spirit. Jesus is Elohim manifest in flesh in order "to destroy the works of the Devil" (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel of Peace ordained "before Time began" (2 Timothy 1:8-10). If you desire life through the forgiveness of sin and peace and intimacy with the Father, you must trust in Jesus as your Messiah (John 3).
