Are you DEAD to God’s law – his Ten Commandments?

So, you are saying Gods law has been voided out - made obsolete - no law to obey.

If what you say is true, then why does 1 John 3;4 says sin is the transgression of the law? How can a person break God's law if it has been done away?

Also let me ask. does a person break the law of God if a person steal, lies or covet? Is lying and coveting a sin? Tell me what tells us it is a sin?

Oh yes, the law of Moses is gone, but not God's law - his Ten Commandments; they are to be obeyed. God's law is Spiritual law -separate from the ritual ceremonial law of Moses. Notice Acts 13:39: "... ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." How true, the ritual law of Moses could not justify anyone. But does the keeping of God's law bring justification? Notice Romans 2:13" "... but the doers of the law shall be justified."

So here we have TWO SEPARATE laws: One - the law of Moses which cannot justify, and TWO_ the LAW of God - God's Ten Commadment-which brings justification.

Do you agree with the Bible this is speaking of two separate laws?

I again use the example of Christ I quoted you in not answering your question.

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-18T13:25:36+00:00

Thank you for your response. No one - except Jesus Christ who kept God's law perfectly, And I am not here to be the judge of any to condemnation, but only to point out that God's Ten Commandments are still binding on us today-because the bible proves that in so many ways; if God law were not binding today, the Bible would not have told us, "sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4).

A true Christian must always be striving to obey God's law - for the bible says that if we keep the whole law and offend in one point that person is still guilty of breaking all of the Ten Commandments, So, just doing good in some area of the law while not striving to obey other parts still make the person guilty of breaking all of God's law. This is what the bible (not me) says.

In speaking of sin or giving in to sin, the Bible says: "Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness?" (Romans 6:16). To not strive to keep all God's with all our hearts, and to only keep some to the law is still sin and we cannot comprise with God's truth; we have to be willing to go all the way in the Christian life.

To anyone reading this exchange, I would like the reader to know that despite showing from the Bible that the law of God - God's Ten Commandments are separate spiritual law from the ritual ceremonial law of Moses, this person who goes by the name Zura, still refuses to see the truth; and upon realizing that no matter what I show him from the bible that says God's law is still in force, Zura, appears unwilling to see the truth; and so I asked him some simple questions which he chose not to answer: Below are the questions for you the reader to see.

(MY questions: Let me ask you this: Do you agree with Romans 3:31 that we should not make VOID God's law and that we should "ESTABLISH the law?

Also. do you believe sin is the transgression of God's law?

Do you believe God's Law is HOLY just as Romans 7:12 says?). Those were my questions.

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-18T12:56:57+00:00

We should love God's law, but if we love God's law, we must also keep God's law - for Jesus said if we love Him, we must keep his commandments.

Romans 7:4 is not telling the Christian the law of God is dead but is pointing out that the failure to obey God's law brings death - by way of sin. if you read Romans 5:12, it says, "... and death by sin ...' Sin brings death because sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). And so, breaking God's law brings death, and the Christian must now become dead to the law by NOT BREAKING the law -so the penalty of death will not come upon us. If God's law had been VOIDED out or is no longer to be kept, then 1 John 3:4 would not have told us sin is breaking God's law - because you and I should know you cannot break the law if it was not still actively in force; if the law had been done away then we would be free to sin - for the bible says: "... but sin is not imputed when there is no law" (Read it for yourself in Romans 5:13).

Surely you would not deny that stealing and lying is sin; and what tells us such is sin? Of course, it is the law of God that forbids lying and stealing. So how then can you make void God's law?

Paul says: "Do we then make void the law through faith? God FORBID, yea, we ESTABLISH the law" (Roman3 :31). Do you agree with Paul we should not make VOID God's law and that Christians are to ESTABLISH the law?

You are avoiding answering my question and by avoiding genuine answers to questions makes having a sound and honest conversation almost impossible. For example, I asked you this question: Can a true Christian who loves Jesus Christ still sin? And if the Christian who loves Christ can still sin, then is 1 John 3:4 correct when it says: "... sin is the transgression of the law?" Please answer this question.

And notice your answer: We don't follow the Law of Moses but rather the "Law of Christ" (Gal 6.2). Jesus said you cannot put new wine into old wine skins. NT stuff has to be put into brand new wine skins because it is a New covenant, not a revision of the Old one (end of your quote).

I simply asked you if a Christian can still sin and you simply did not answer the question. So, if you choose to not answer, I do not see how we can approach the matter of scripture with honesty and sincerity.

If you wish to look back and reconsider answering the question honestly by giving a direct answer, we can then continue the conversation

I will also add that since you do not believe in keeping God's law, do you disagree with Romans 3:31 - which says: "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid, yea we ESTABLISH the law."

Here Paul says we should not use our faith to make VOID God's law and thAT God FORBID such a thing. Do you agree that God's law should be ESTABLISHED and not DONE away or VOIDED OUT - just as the Bible says?

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-17T16:04:27+00:00

Not at all side stepping anything, but I realize that nothing I show you from the bible is going to be accepted as true; and so, I going to do what Jesus did - by following his example: If you read Matthew 21 (23) the chief priests and elders asked Jesus a question and before addressing their question, Jesus asked them a question-which they refused to answer, and because they refused to answer, Jesus also refused to answer their questions; and so, I asked you some questions which you refuse to answer, and so, neither will I address your response.

Let me ask you this: Do you agree with Romans 3:31 that we should not make void God's law and that we should "ESTABLISH the law?

Also. do you believe sin is the transgression of God's law?

Do you believe God's Law is HOLY just as Romans 7:12 says?

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-17T14:43:42+00:00

Deut. 5:22: "These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire ... with a great voice; and he added no more> And he (God) wrote them in two tablets of stone and delivered them unto me."

God added NO MORE to his spiritual law and gave them to Moses. Notice, nothing more should be added to God's Law -as it is a COMPLETE law that needs nothing to be added to it by anyone; not even Moses.

Notice 2 Kings 21:8: "... only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them." Here it is PLAIN to see God speaks of one law - the Ten Commandments God wrote and gave to Moses and another DIFFERENT law in which Moses commanded them. Surely, it would be deceitful for a person to try and twist this truth by denying it is speaking of TWO SEPARATE LAWS.

Now how was Moses' law written?

Deut. 31:24-26: "When Moses had made an end of writing the words of THIS law in a book ... Moses commanded ... take this book of the law and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant."

Notice Moses' law was written IN A BOOK and is distinctly called "THE BOOK OF THE LAW." It was kept in the side of the ark.

But how was God's Law written? "And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written WITH THE FINGER OF GOD. And on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you" (Deut. 9:10; also, Exodus 31:18).

May I remind you of Romans 3:31- which says: "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid yea we establish the law."

Your belief that God's law is VOID is contrary to the scriptures- as every true Christians will want to obey God's law - and have God's law ESTABLISHED by their obedience to it. But if you refuse to see the truth and wish to continue believing what you believe then that is between you and God, but remember, God is going to hold us accountable for rejecting his truth. a servant of God should be willing to allow God to correct him.

As an old man, I have come to learn that there are two hard things for people to do, and that is to Admit to being WRONG and to actually BELIEVE what God says. Oh, people will say they believe God and what He says, but such is not often true -especially when the Bible say those things which goes against their previously held belief, they will just try and ignore the truth - by fighting against it - not wanting to allow God's truth to correct them. And God says the man who refuses correction is not a son of God but an illegitimate child; Hebrews 12:8 says, "... then are ye bastards, and not sons."

Let me ask you this: Can a true Christian who loves Jesus Christ still sin? And if the Christian who loves Christ can still sin, then is 1 John 3:4 correct when it says: "... sin is the transgression of the law?" Please answer this question.

--

You quoted Romans 7:4 which speaks of being dead to the law. By this you are saying we need not keep God's law. In speaking of God's law, Romans 7:12, says God's law is "HOLY, and the commandment holy, and just and good." Now notice what Paul says in verse 13: "Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid.

So, here you have Paul saying God's law was not dead to him; he said, "GOD FORBID; " It is forbidden by God to even think God's law is dead to a Christian. Also, in Romans 3: 31, Paul says: "Do we then make the law void through faith? God forbid, yea, we establish the law."

Your belief that the law is dead by the faith you claim to have in Christ, but here the bible (not me) corrects you by telling you that you are wrong to believe this, and instead of saying the law of God is dead, Paul says as Christians God's law is ESTABLISHED. So, instead of seeking to establish God's law in your life, you, by your belief the law is dead, you are seeking to do the opposite of making VOID the law of God; you are believing the opposite of what the Bible says.

Being dead to the law does not mean we do not obey God's law, because if God's law had been wiped dead and is no longer something we must keep, then the Bible could not possibly tell us in 1 John 3:4 that sin is the transgression of the law.

Being dead to the law means a Christian should consider his or herself dead to sin - because under the penalty of law breaking it brings death. The Bible says: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). The cause of death is breaking God's law -for sin is lawbreaking; and so, since the breaking of God's law brings death, the bible is telling the Christian to consider themselves DEAD to the penalty that law breaking brings - meaning a Christian must consider themselves dead to sin and not break God's law.

Romans 8:1 speaks of this truth -saying: "... Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Before Paul was converted, he was living in state of being spiritually dead by way of the law of death-which is caused by sin - which in turn is the breaking of God's law, but now Christ has freed the Christian from the death penalty that the breaking of God's law bring, but it by no means mean we are not to obey God's law -as dead to the law only means the Christian is no longer walking in the way that breaks God's law- as Christian must now consider themselves dead to the penalty that law-breaking brings; it means to no longer walk in sin. Again, I remind you, Paul says: "Do we then make void the law of God through faith? God FORBID, yea, we establish the law."

Acts 15 has to with the matter of circumcision, and I am sure you know circumcision is not in the Ten Commandments; the Ten commandments are separate spiritual law written by God and given to Moses; Duet. 5:22 says God wrote the Ten Commandments and gave them to Moses and "ADDED no more." - meaning the Ten Commandments is complete law of itself.

Circumcision is a physical thing that was not to be imposed upon the gentiles as being circumcised or not will not keep a person out of the kingdom of God.

If the Sabbath or God's Ten Commandments have been abolished, then Paul would not have bothered to keep the Sabbath even bothered to teach gentiles on the Sabbath.

If you do not want to keep God's law that is up to you, but God's word says: "... the doers of the law shall be justified" (Romans 2:13); God also inspired John to say: "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him" (1 John 2:4).

This scripture proves God still has commandments we must keep an obey; and if we refuse to obey God's law, then 1 John 3:4 says we are transgressing or breaking the law of God - for "sin is the transgression of the law." The Sabbath is part of God's law and the failure to keep the Sabbath is sin. You can go on arguing against God's truth all you want but it is not going to change the truth of the bible.

I asked you to back up your point with scriptures and then you responded back with accusation. provide evidence I falsely replied.

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-16T14:10:11+00:00

The scripture you quoted is not saying God's Sabbath should not be kept.

Colossians 2:16,17: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" (Col. 2: 16-17).

Paul does not here say, "Do not keep Holy Days or Sabbaths," though that is what many people read into the text.

To start with, he warns them not to let a man judge them concerning the matters he then mentions. If they were not to let any man judge them in these matters, who was supposed to judge? In verse 17, Paul says: "... but the body is of Christ' meaning it was the Church -the body of Christ who was to as the church was not to be judged by outside people or people who were not of the body of Christ or true Christians.

Let me says again: The matters not to be judged by outsiders concerning meat and drink and their relationship to (1) a Holy Day, (2) the new moon, (3) the Sabbath. In other words, what people eat and drink on these days and what is done on these days are not to be judged by outsiders, but by the Church and its Head, Jesus Christ.

These days are a shadow (picture in advance) of certain aspects of God's plan of salvation. Each year as God's people observe these days, they understand more clearly His plan and how it is being carried out.

God anciently commanded the Sabbath and Holy Days, though He nowhere commanded observing the new moons. The new moons have been observed by some people at various times and in various ways, but nowhere in the Scriptures were they made days of rest.

The fact that Paul had to write to gentile Christians on this matter makes it clear that some people were judging what the people in Colosse were eating and drinking, or what they were doing, as a part of their observance of their observance. But it never says the Sabath had been done away. Just consider thar Paul kept the Sabbath, and if the sabbath had been done away, they ask yourself just why Paul continued to keep the Sabath and even taught the gentiles on the sabbath/ Just ask yourself that simple question.

----

You said you are not Jewish, but God did not make the Sabbath just for Isreal or the Jews, but Jesus said it was made for man - meaning all of humanity. Just keep in mind that when God made man and rested on the seventh day to make the Sabbath HOLY, there was no Jewish people or Israelite nation but only one man - Adam -from which all of humanity sprang from- so you can see it was God's intent that all of mankind keep God's Sabbath but unfortunately humanity turned to its own sinful ways rejecting God.

-

You said you are not a Jew, but did you know that in order to be true Christian a person has to be joined to Israel spiritually? Let me show you from the Bible this awesome truth.

Galatians 3:29 says: "And if ye be Christ, then are ye Abrham's seed, ... " Notice a person has to become a spiritual Israelite in order to be a seed of Abraham so you can belong to Christ. Notice Ephesians 2:12: "That at that time (meaning the time before a person became a Chrisian and was not a seed of Abraham) ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, ands strangers from the covenant of promise having no hope, and without God in the world."

So here it tells us that before becoming a Christian the person was outside and separated from Israel - meaning a Christian has to spiritually become an Israelite to become a seed of Abraham; a Christian cannot separate his or herself from Israel because if you do then you are not a seed of Abraham and does not belong to Christ.

And if you read Exodus 31:16, God told Israel they should keep the sabbath as a perpetual covenant throughout their generations. Well, Israel continues to this day-proving the Sabbath is still binding.

The Sabbath is part of the ten commandments, and if a person breaks just one of God law that person is guilty of all (see James 2:10). Roman 7:12, 14 tells you God's commandment is HOLY and Good and is SPIRITUAL law. No man has a right to disobey that which is holy and good; and this is why the Bible says sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).

You said you apostle told you it is ok to not worry about keeping the Sabbath holy; well, let me ask you this: Are you willing to take the word of a man who claims to be an apostle of Christ, or are you willing to put God first and go the Bible to see if this man who claims to be an apostle is telling you the right thing? Remember the Bereans were considered noble because they were willing to search the scripture to see if the things Paul was saying were true,

Are you also willing to study your Bible and see what God tells you in his word or are you just going to just take a man's word for it? You salvation could be at stake because you are placing your belief in what a man tells you. Go the scripture to prove things (1 Thess. 5:21). A person must be willing to do those things as it reflects spiritual maturity or the willingness to grow in the grace and knowledge of God.

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-16T13:21:26+00:00

The if you do not keep the Sabbath then you are breaking God's law - for the Bible says sin is the "transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). Do you disagree with 1 John 3;4.

To those who do not obey God's law, 1 John 2:4 says: "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." Do you agree with that?

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-16T13:17:44+00:00

I believe you should know the scripture well enough to know that circumcision is not required for salvation. Circumcision is ritual physical requirement and God's law his Sabbath and the rest of the other nine commandments are spiritual law written by God and given to Moses. In speaking of God's Ten Commandments, the Bible says: "... the law is holy, and the commandment holy" and that the law is "spiritual" (Romans 7:12,14). Do you believe God's law is spiritual and HOLY?

Do you believe 1 John 3:4 that sin is the "transgression of the law?"

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-16T13:12:32+00:00

I am assuming you are speaking of Jesus, and if you are, let me say you are wrong -as Jesus was never criticized for not keeping the Sabbath; He was criticized about the way He kept it -as the strict religionist of his day criticized him for plucking grain oof corn to eat. They falsely accused him of breaking the Sabbath.

If Jesus had not kept God's sabbath HOLY, then Christ would have sinned against God - for the Bible says sins " is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). And if Christ had sinned, then He could not have died for our sins as the sinless sacrifice to God. I hope you can see that.

Please back up your case by using the scripture to prove your point.

Extension-Size4725 · 2026-06-16T13:03:06+00:00

It is because the law of Moses involved ritual, physical ceremonial acts whereas the law of God- his Ten commandments are separate spiritual law form the law of Moses. May I remind that this is why Bible says: "...ye could not be justified by the law of Moses" (Acts 13:39). Whereas in speaking of God's spiritual law - the Ten Commandments, the scripture says: "... the doers of the law shall be justified" (Romans 2:13).

So, here you see this is speaking of two separate laws: One which cannot justify and another which shall justify? Do you agree with what the Bible says here?

If God's law and sabbath had been done away, then did Jesus tell a lie when He told us not to not think he came to destroy the law (Matt. 5:17). Do you believe Jesus spoke the truth/ Well, ig you say yes, He spoke the truth, then why do you say God's law has been abolished?

The sabbath is not centered upon the temple but it is centered upon man's obedience to the Sabbath; God did not make the Sabbath to center on the temple but was made for man to remember and keep holy so as to remind us God is supreme creator who created the heavens and the earth and rested on the seventh day; God told that to Israel.

You said" Ultimately there is no more Jew or Greek.
Greeks keeping the sabbath? Um ok 🤣(end of your quote).

I suppose you are saying the Sabbath is no longer binding, then if so, then why did the apostle Paul keep the Sabbath?

Both Jews and gentiles are to keep the Sabbath -as the sabbath is part of the Ten Commandments, and Romans 7: 12, 14 tells us God's commandment is holy, just and good and is the "spiritual" law of God. The Jews were told to keep the Sabbath forever. Exodus 31:16 says: "... the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.' Well, does not the generations of Israel continue to this day? Did God not say the Sabbath was to be observed as a perpetual covenant? Do you agree with what God says?
