The Ten Commandments
in the New Testament
Many "New Testament" churches teach that God's Law is "done away,"
"nailed
to the cross" or otherwise for all practical purposes, ignored. Many
churches
teach that the Apostle Paul confirmed the putting away of the Law.
Nevertheless, all of The Ten Commandments can be found in the New
Testament
in both the Gospels and in the writings of Paul. The charts below compares
the
Law of God in the Old and New Testaments. Before comparing these charts,
let's
compare Paul and Jesus. Below we have reproduced Romans 13:9-10 and
Matthew
19:18-19.
Jesus
16. Matthew 19:16-19 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,
what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17. 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none
good
but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments.
18. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou
shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness,
19. 19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. Paul (30 years later)
8. Romans 13:8-10 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he
that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet;
and
if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this
saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the
fulfilling of the law.
Notice that Romans 13:9-10 is almost an exact quote of Jesus' words
spoken
30 years earlier. Words below spoken after the Crucifixion are in blue.
If Jesus Christ "nailed the Law to the cross" or "put it away" 30
years
earlier, then Paul certainly would have known about it, wouldn't he?
The Law Of God
Old Testament The Law Of God
New Testament
Deuteronomy 5:6-21 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the
land
of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
ONE: Thou shalt have none other gods before me. ONE: Matthew 4:10 Then
saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
TWO: Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, or any likeness of any
thing
that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is]
in
the waters beneath the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy
God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my
commandments.
TWO: 1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to
think
that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and
man's device.
NOTE: Verses in Blue are verses written AFTER Christ's death. AFTER the
'nailing of the law to the cross'.
THREE: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the
LORD
will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain. THREE: 1
Timothy 6:1 ... that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
FOUR: Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath
commanded
thee.
Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy
maidservant
may rest as well as thou.
And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the
LORD
thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched
out
arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
FOUR: Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither
on the sabbath day:
Mark 2:27-28 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not
man
for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Hebrews 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this
wise,
And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased
from his
own works, as God [did] from his.
FIVE: Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded
thee;
that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the
land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee FIVE: Matthew 19:19 Honor thy father
and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Ephesians 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right.
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with
promise;)
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
SIX: Thou shalt not kill. SIX: Romans 13:9 Thou shalt not kill
SEVEN: Neither shalt thou commit adultery. SEVEN: Romans 13:9 ... Thou
shalt not commit adultery.
EIGHT: Neither shalt thou steal. EIGHT: Romans 13:9 ... Thou shalt not
steal.
NINE: Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. NINE:
Romans 13:9 ... Thou shalt not bear false witness.
TEN: Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou
covet
thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant,
his ox,
or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbor's.
These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the
midst
of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice:
and
he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered
them
unto me. TEN: Romans 13:9 ... Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any
other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea,
we
establish the law
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.
Question 24: If a Clergyman tries to persuade you that "the Law is done
away
in Jesus" or says something like, "well that's Old Testament, that's done
away," then he trying, either knowingly or unknowingly, to get you to
receive
The Mark of The Beast. Agree or disagree, to reject God's Law is to accept
The
Mark of The Beast.
