the “chair of Moses” doesn’t tell you anything? Like maybe those who choose to remain under the law must sincerely DO all that is in the law?
Those of us who are under grace will stay under grace thank you very much.
What this tells me is that no one is perfect, even those who lead Christ’s church and that I am to remain true to the faith they have passed on to me regardless of their personal sins and failings, because I trust the Holy Spirit and the revelation of truth given to the Church.
I am to strive to be perfect as our Father is perfect, for Jesus did not abolish the Law, but rather fulfilled it.
And these two commandments did He give,
Love God with all your heart, mind, strength and soul and
Love one another as I have loved you.
Those two commandments are the summation of all of the Ten, which Jesus has shown us.
I am not relieved of striving to live according to them simply because I have forgiveness through grace.
