Two primary laws must be observed especially with the changing of the world. More and more each
day people allow those that break the laws of God and Moses into position of religious leadership. This is in complete violation
of the Old Testaments as well as the teachings of Jesus. In fact these are the laws that forbid the changes:
Deut. 13:1 Not to add to the commandments of the Torah, whether in the Written Law
or in its interpretation received by tradition.
Deut. 13:1 Not to take away from the commandments of the Torah
JAMES 2:10 ”For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point,
he is guilty of all.”
Some of the 613
Laws that is still valid today as when they were written. Jesus did not remove any of the Laws he was very adamant on the
obeying of the laws as seen in James 2:10. Jesus added a few new commandments:
MATTHEW 5:21
"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder,' and whoever murders will be in danger
of the judgment.
MATTHEW 5:22
"But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever
says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell’s
fire.
MATTHEW 5:27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You
shall not commit adultery.'
MATTHEW 5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to
lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
MATTHEW 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.'
MATTHEW 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who
curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
JOHN 13:34 "A
new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
JOHN 15:12 "This is
My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
JOHN 15:13 "Greater
love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
JAMES 2:10 ”For whoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.”
Jesus changed only one law: Divorces
MATTHEW 19:4 And he answered and said unto
them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
MATTHEW 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man
leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh
MATTHEW 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain,
but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
MATTHEW 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses
then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away
MATTHEW 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because
of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
MATTHEW 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be
for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her, which is put away, doth commit adultery.
Jesus changes who can punish:
John
8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
John
8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
John
8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
John
8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger
wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without
sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
