How could God abolish the Law that helps a sinner to realise his need? When a sinner realises that death is the penalty for transgression, and in sorrow he comes to God for forgiveness, he receives a pardon through Jesus. That pardon is Grace. Would God abolish the very Law that Christ died for to make it possible to give grace to the sinner? If God abolished His Law there would be no transgression and therefore no need of forgiveness or grace. Grace is not something apart from the Law; it is necessary. Paul said to the Christians: “you are not under the law but under grace.” Romans 6:14. Then he said, “shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? God forbid.” Verse 15. In Galatians 3:21 Paul says “the law is not against the promises of God.” How could God abolish His Law and thus do away with Grace too?
How could God abolish the Sabbath command when Jesus said He Himself was Lord of the Sabbath? Mark 2:27-28. And Jesus Himself made the Sabbath. John 1:1-3; Mark 2:27. And it was Christ’s custom to keep it. Luke 4:16.

How could God abolish the Ten Commandments, or Moral Law, at the same time that He abolished the ceremonial law which had to do with the offerings and sacrifices? Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14-17. The Hand writing of Ordinances are not the Ten Commandments. The ceremonial law was instituted to show the people what to do when they broke the Moral Law. By their sacrifices they could show their faith in the great sacrifice which was to be offered on Calvary. All the Sacrifices and offerings pointed forward to Christ. When Jesus died the veil in the temple was rent signifying that the sacrificial or Ceremonial law had ended. Many people confuse the Ceremonial and Moral laws.
How could God abolish the Law that has the Sabbath command in it when God Himself ceased from labour and rested on the seventh day, and your Bible says that all who have entered into rest (spiritual rest too) with Him, have ceased from their own works as God did from His? Hebrews 4:4, 9-10. Read and re-read those two verses.
How could God do away with the very Law that His people are to keep in order to have works to show their faith? James 2:18. Read carefully James 2:10-12. The “works” here referred to are works of obedience as the verses plainly indicate. Paul says: “Do we make void the Law through faith? God forbid, we establish the Law.” Romans 3:31.
How could God do away with the Ten Commandments that Jesus referred to when He said “whosoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Matthew 5:19.

Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:28-29.

Read about the four beasts and the little “horn.” Daniel 7:1-8. Read verse 23-fourth kingdom (Rome). The Little horn represents a religious power that started in Rome and in 321AD they changed God’s Sabbath to Sunday. A fact unknown by many Christians today. Now read verse 25 again.

How could God abolish His Commandments and also promise that in the New Earth His People will be keeping the Sabbath? Isaiah 66:22-23. The Sabbath Command is in the centre of His Law. The Sabbath is God’s Mark or Sign of His Power and authority as the Creator. Exodus 20:8-11. The Sabbath has always been God’s test of obedience. Exodus 16:4, 23, 26-28. God’s Law is in His Heart. May we never wound His heart of love and insult His Grace. If God has abolished His Law then hundreds of texts in your Bible become meaningless and should be left out, for example:
All the texts that mention or refer to the Law.
All the texts that mention the Commandments of God.
All the texts that speak of SIN. (Sin is the transgression of the Law. 1 John 3:4).
All the texts that speak of obedience.
All the texts that speak of transgression.
All the texts that speak of repentance.
All the texts that speak of Jesus as the Saviour from sin. etc, etc.
If God has abolished any part of His Law then texts that speak of The Law as Perfect, Holy, Unchangeable, etc., become meaningless. “Not one tittle of the Law shall fall.” If we offend in one point of the Ten Commandments we are guilty of all. See James 2:10-12 and Matthew 5:17-19.If The Ten Commandments have been abolished or Jesus nailed them to the cross, then how could?
Wow, you have alot of time on your hands to write that.
Jesus Christ did not do away with the law; not even close.
3 parts to the law; Morality, Civility %26amp; Sacrifice. Jesus was THE sacrifice once and for all but morality %26amp; civility are still in play.
Jesus simply took the 10 commandments %26amp; brought them down to 2 [known as the Golden Rule]
36';Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?'; 37Jesus replied: '; 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.';
Matthew 26.
Loving God %26amp; People inculdes the other 8; if you love God you'll keep His commands. Not coveting, murdering etc etc
The law is still in play %26amp; more so... now we can't just commit adultery, we can't commit it in our hearts either. Everything hangs on those two.
The law is still in play; we just have grace now also, [not law vs grace as many think]If The Ten Commandments have been abolished or Jesus nailed them to the cross, then how could?
The law is a mirror it tellss you where you stand before Our Maker.It does not save you. For all sinners have brocken the law. .

All Jesus did was sum up all Ten Commandments together.. When you follow both of these Commandments then you obey all Ten Commandments. If you love the Lord your God..
These Commandments were never removed, replaced, nor will they ever be.. (Luke 16:17)

what do you honestly expect pple to read that phrase that better
Ah... the shotgun approach. I'm supposed to address each one of these, and all that you have to do is conclude I am wrong by your own standard, thereby doing away with everything.
So I'll just ask you one question for you to answer.
Can you be held to the conditions of a covenant / contract you were never a party to?
No, you can't.
And never mind what was concluded in Acts 15, you are greater than the original apostles.
Much of what you wrote shows your confusion over the law of Moses and the actual law of God as brought out by the apostle Paul in Romans 7 and 8. The law of the Spirit is what is perfect and eternal. The law of the letter was flawed, according to Hebrews 8. A good example is Mt. 19 and the issue over divorce as found in the law, that was a concession because of the hardness of their hearts. But in the beginning, IT WAS NOT SO.
But if you want to live by the law, by all means do so. Keep every point of law, and don't forget-- if you break even one point, you are guilty of all, and you can't sacrifice Christ daily.
You are under a curse, and your chances of getting out from under that curse is not very likely.
If you want to discuss each of these points individually, I will do so.
Oh... don't forget... you can sell your daughters into slavery. You can pick up some extra cash that way.
A little rebuttal:
If The Ten Commandments have been abolished or Jesus nailed them to the cross, then how could?
a perfect God (Matthew 5:48) do away with a perfect Law? Psalms 19:7.
Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Because this law being referenced is not the law God gave to Israel. That law was not perfect, and converted no one. The N.T. brings out this “law” is God's Spirit, placed in the believer, that converts the soul.
How could a Holy God (Isaiah 6:3) do away with a Holy Law? Romans 7:12.
Because God replaced it with a better law with better promises. That first covenant had a glory, but its glory was fading, and compared to the new covenant, its glory is nothing by comparison. See II Cor. 3.
How could a Righteous God (Psalms 145:17) do away with a Righteous Law? Psalms 119:172.
And the condemnation that came with the law was just. So, you prefer condemnation?
How could God who is unchangeable (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8) change or do away with a Law that is unchangeable? Matthew 5:17-19; Psalms 111:7-8.
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
You obviously didn't bother to read the context, seeing as God, in the law, stated that if Israel broke the covenant, God would consume them. But God didn't. God didn't perform that which he stated in the law, else Israel would have been consumed. The reason God changes not here is not a matter of the law, but a matter of the promises to Abraham and the other patriarchs. So the context supports the exact opposite of what you claim. Do you understand what “context” means? You keep taking passages out of context and assigning the wrong understanding to them. Your citation of Heb. 13:8 is another good example.
Your understanding of Mt. 5:17-19 is also flawed, as you cannot fulfill “law” in regards to the law AND the prophets. There are no laws codified in the prophets. The only thing that has the potential to be fulfilled or destroyed in the law and prophets are prophesies.
Psalms 111:7-8 is still in relation to Israel; the ones who were given that covenant.
Want more expose' on your ignorance?

Question too long to read. May be good but it is too early in the morning for me to read a sermon. Sorry, maybe later in the morning I will take a look at it.
Matthew 5:17 ';Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
Jesus did what no man could or can. We are under Grace not law and the Bible speaks of this very thing. We are saved by faith not works for Jesus fullfilled the works. If you place your self under one part of the law you will be held to the whole law. Thus my friend I believe you are on dangerius ground and have missed the meaning of Gods words.
You ought to ask one question at the time... A perfect God can stand some improvement, too! God makes the rules as he plays the game! God the father says ';honour thy father and thy mother';.. God the Son Jesus Christ says ';unless you HATE* *Greek=';miseo'; to abhor, hate with all your guts) your father and your mother, et al you cannot be my disciple'; -- It is all a matter of situation ethics, for Christ's sake!
From what I understand..the LAW that was done away with was NOT the TEN COMMANDMENT ...BUT the many laws/ordinances that Moses wrote which give rules, regulations of how to keep the laws. The Ten Commandments were kept in the Arc and the ';Mosasic'; laws were kept in a pouch on the Side of the Arc. These Mosasic laws were the ones done away with..from my understanding.
Oh boy, even as GOD, I got tired and sleepy reading all your questions, how do you expect my poor children to answer them.
Good questions though,but give ME some time and I will confer with my favorite Son and get back to you. Promise.
And the people of the land find that it is more civilize to do what God has commanded after all. I believed that God loved us from the beginning and the reason I think he changed the law was because he was being easy on the people. The people thought that the law was too strict to follow yet it was just to help the people not to harm them.
IN THE NEW TESTAMENTS
HIS COMMANDS WERE TO
He did say LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE THY SELF.
Would you Want to be cheated on.
Would you want someone to steal from you
would you want to be killed.
would you want to be lied to
Love thy neighbor as you love thy self
And PUT NO OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM
Congratulations on asking a question nobody will read.
I think you may have forgotten one or two there.
Honestly, it would take a life-time to answer your hundreds of questions.
