Quote:To this Here’s one final thought, do you know why Moses could never have been a good Christian?Because he broke all 10 commandments.Smile
For your information: Mosaic law consists of 613 commandments,not ten.
Matthew records Jesus as admonishing his disciples to keep ALL of The Law.
Quote:Matthew 5:18 : "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
It was mainly Saul who abolished most of commandments, especially those relating to ritual.Most critically,,he abolished Jewish dietary law and the need for all males to be circumcised. Those changes allowed gentiles to become Christians. WHAT WAS AN INSIGNIFICANT JEWISH SECT COULD NEVER OTHERWISE HAVE BECOME A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION.
Quote:The 613 Mitzvot (Hebrew: תרי"ג מצוות: Taryag Mitzvot, "613 commandments"; Biblical Hebrew: Miṣwoth) are statements and principles of law, ethics, and spiritual practice contained in the Torah or Five Books of Moses. These principles of Biblical law are sometimes called connections or commandments (mitzvot) and referred to collectively as the "Law of Moses" (Torat Moshe, תורת משה), "Mosaic Law", or simply "the Law". The word mitzvot is plural; singular is mitzvah.
