Christ fulfilled them for us... The purpose of the 10 commandments was not “law-keeping”.. the purpose was to lead us to Christ..

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

RnMomof7, the ten commandments are moral law. The sacrificial system was ceremonial law. Do you understand the difference ?

If the ten commandments were ENDED, that would mean MURDER was acceptable and fine with God. Do you honestly think murder is ok with God ?

[PieterCasparzen]

Christ fulfilled them for us... The purpose of the 10 commandments was not “law-keeping”.. the purpose was to lead us to Christ..

Absolutely not, that is astoundingly untrue. Moral laws do not point to Christ, they exhibit the unchanging, eternal nature of God. Ceremonial laws pointed to Christ.

You quoted Romans 7:7, but not very similar verse Romans 6:15. That verse from Romans 6 has very clear passages around it regarding sin.

Romans 6

"11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid."

If there are NO moral laws in the New Testament, what sins is the Apostle talking about ? Are sins now simply not following God's "old" moral laws that are now demoted to mere "suggestions" ?

The very same Apostle writes under divine inspiration elsewhere:

1 Corinthians 6

"9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Galatians 5:21 "Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

Thus the Apostle states that such folks are not bound for heaven but for hell and eternal damnation.
