Mosaic Law

Many beliefs that cannot be grounded on Scripture are nevertheless very common among Christians. These beliefs might be part of the great deception Jesus warns us against (Mat 24:4). We call these beliefs obstacles - Here is one of them:

Obstacle 1: God’s Law Is Done Away With

Let me give you a few examples from Scripture that refute the notion that God’s Law as given to Moses and explained in the case laws in the Old Testament is not valid anymore:

• Exo 12:14 states that keeping the Passover is an everlasting ! ordinance.
• Look at Exo 20 and Deu 5: The Ten Commandments are to be kept throughout the generations.  God is a jealous God, He will show mercy to those that keep His commandments into the thousands generation, but if you work iniquity, that is, lawlessness, it will be held against you and your family for up to four generations.
• Lev 18 states that you are defiling yourself and the land by things abominable to the Lord, by lawlessness.
• Isa 24 shows that there is severe punishment for changing the ordinance as well as for breaking the covenant.
• Jesus Himself enforces the Law:

“For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” (Mat 5:18)

• John stresses in his 2nd letter that the Law has been unchanged from the beginning:

“And now I ask you, dear lady–not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning–that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.” (2 Jn 1:5-6).
