Why does Christianity teach that the laws are done away with?
Christianity has over 40,000 denominations, but the one thing that seems consistent between most of the ones I have come across they say the laws are done away with. This is a very dangerous doctrine, and it gives people the idea that they can sin willfully ask for forgiveness and do it all over again. There are plenty of verses that say the complete opposite of this doctrine in the New Testament alone. I say in the New Testament because some believe that everything in the Old Testament has been fulfilled, but there’s a lot about eschatology in the Old Testament. There are actual prophecies in the Old Testament that are happening right now in this moment. That’s another subject for another day. An often misinterpreted passage in the Bible is Matthew 5:17-19 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
People always say that he fulfilled the law, and that’s false. There are plenty of verses after the Messiah is sacrificed that tells us to keep the laws, statutes and commandments.
Romans 7:22 (GNT) My inner being delights in the law of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts 10 or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves—none of these will possess God's Kingdom.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
All of these Bible verses in my opinion need no interpretation. I believe people just want to find a way to justify their actions. They often come to platforms like this looking for validation in the sinful life they lead. What’s even worse is so many people tell them that God loves them.
John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners, but if any man be a worshiper of God and doeth His will, him He heareth.
If God doesn’t hear the prayers of sinners what does that tell you? Repent and follow his son because he is the perfect example of how we should be. He isn’t blessing anyone who breaks his laws. They are there for a reason, and they will still be there when it’s heaven on earth.
With there being over 40,000 Christian denominations which one is the right one? None of them because we weren’t commanded to follow a particular denomination.
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Do you really think that just because you go to church you’ll make it to the kingdom? Does the church you go to recognize the sabbath day? If not you should know that that place is not about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Does your church ask for tithes? Well that’s a part of the Mosaic law they say is done away with. There is no Levitical priesthood so why are they collecting tithes? Tithes came from crops, and livestock not shekels. Tithing was for the priest to take care of the holy days we’re commanded to commemorate. Tithing was also to help take care of the widows, and orphans. Does your church commemorate Passover or Easter? Do you gather together every new moon? Does your church promote christmas? Too many of us like to go with the flow, and I must tell you the flow is going into the lake of fire.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
I encourage you all to grab the proverbial bull by the horns. Do not allow misleaders to deceive you into following them into eternal damnation because evil is so arrogant that it believes it will win even while knowing the end already. You all take care, have faith in the Messiah and keep the commandments.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
