Eternal Law
Moral Law (10 Commandments) · Laws of CHRIST
Every Human Being.
Recipients
... Abraham your father obeyed my voice and guard-
ed my orders, and my commandments [including
the 10 Commandments], and my ordinances, and
my laws.”
And if you are of CHRIST, then you are descendants of
Abraham [Israel], heirs according to the promise.
Effect From Creation (Mat 5:21) - Judgment Day.
The Moral Law did not originate with Moses or in his time.
Origin THEOS doesn't reveal how He communicated the eternal prin-
ciples of His Law to humanity before Mount Sinai, but we can
conclude that the unwritten Law, which was the same in sub-
stance and authority as the written Moral Law, was written
on the conscience (hearts) of humanity (see e.g. Rom 2:14-16).
The evidence is clear and substantial that the giving of the law
on Sinai was not the world's initial exposure to its precepts.
Adam and Eve coveted (Cm. #10) and stole (#8); Cain killed
(#6) and lied (#9); the men of Sodom were wicked and sinful;
Pharao blasphemed THEOS (#1, 2, 3); the book of Genesis al-
ready described adultery (#7; Gen 12:17, Gen 20:9-18, Gen 26:10)
and murder (#6) as a sin; the Sabbath is "to remember" (#4);
Abraham, Jacob and Joseph already obeyed Commandments,
Statutes and Laws (Gen 26:5); and the Israelites failed the
Sabbath test (#4) already before the Law of THEOS was
codified and specified at Mt. Sinai.
Another clear example is Moses, who judged before Sinai 'the
ordinances of God and his law' and his father-in-law encou-
raged him to delegate this task (see Exo 18:15-16 below).
[~5500 BC] And Cain said to YAHWEH, “My
punishment is greater than I can bear.
[3297 BC] “As for the one shedding the blood of
humankind, by humankind his blood shall be shed ...
[~1950 BC] And THEOS said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to
Bethel and dwell there, and make an altar to THEOS!
[...] Then Jacob said to his household and to all who
were withhim, “Get rid of the foreign theos ...
[~1885 BC] Joseph to Potiphar’s wife] ... you are
his wife. Now how could I do this great wickedness
[adultery] and sin against THEOS?”
[~1447 BC] And Pharaoh hurried to call Moses and
Aaron , and he said, “I have sinned against YAHWEH
your THEOS [other theos, blasphemy] ...
... “How long do you refuse to keep my command-
ments and my law? [plural = multiple commands
preceded the laws given at Mt. Sinai; see Exo 20]
And Moses says to his father-in-law, Because
the people come to me to seek judgment from God.
For whenever there is a dispute among them, and
they come to me, I give judgment upon each, and
I teach them the ordinances of God and his law.
[1446 BC] Moral Law codified and specified]
... “Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart,
permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the be-
ginning [clearly before Moses] it was not like this.

Matthew 5:21 makes it also clear that the Moral Law had not
only been given to any 'ancients' or to any 'people of old' -as
commonly translated while lacking definition-, but more
precisely to the very first (original) humans - the word APXH
(arche, Greek G746) always expressing an absolute.

gory of Sacrificial Laws. Those terms are man-made for easier
comprehensibility - faithfully based on the biblical descrip-

side of the Ark of the Covenant (being ambiguously against the
Israelites). This book written on perishable paper does most
probably not exist anymore, being now obsolete.
The Ceremonial Law was related to Israel's Worship, Circum-
cision, Cleanliness, Clothing and Dietary Restrictions, Extra-
ordinary Sabbaths / Feasts / Festivals, Idolatry, Prayer, Priestly
Laws, Prophecy, Ritual Purity (Sacrifices), Tithing, ...
The Civil Law applied to daily living. Court and Judicial
Procedures, Family, Inheritance, Land Boundaries,

The Sacrificial Law specified how sin was eliminated through
sacrifices, before JESUS became the very last sacrifice and
"nailed" the Old Covenant Laws to the cross.

Sprinkling For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves Heb

tablets], saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that THEOS has commanded for you.” And likewise he sprinkled both the
tabernacle and all the utensils of service with the blood. Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law
[still no mention of the Moral Law], and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Eternal Law Old Covenant Law

Moral Law (10 Commandments) · Laws of CHRIST Ceremonial, Civil and Sacrificial Law

We, who have the Spirit dwelling in us, are free from the
Our dominion and condemnation of the Moral Law, but not from
Application its obligation and the consequences of our sinful acts. We do
not obey it anymore as a way to obtain righteousness /
justification and salvation, but to become conscious of our
sin, to advance our sanctification and to please THEOS. The
Moral Law can be described as a mirror, or also as railroad
tracks. We are driven by the train symbolizing the Gospel and
the Holy Spirit, but sometimes require the Law of THEOS to
remain in the track in the time of our sanctification.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body
6:12-15
[...] but present yourselves to THEOS as those who are
alive from the dead [...] you are not under Law [of
Sin & Death], but under grace. What then? Shall we
sin because we are not under Law but under grace?
... Moses writes about the righteousness that is from
the law: “The person who does this will live by it.”
But the righteousness from faith speaks like this ...
if you ... believe in your heart that THEOS raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Clearly no one who relies on the Law is justified be-
3:11-28
fore THEOS, because "the righteous will live by faith."
[...] CHRIST redeemed us from the curse of the Law
by becoming a curse for us because it is written,
“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” [...] So
the Law was our guardian until CHRIST came that
we might be justified by faith.
But we know that the [Moral] Law is good, if anyone
makes use of it lawfully, knowing this, that the Law is
not given for a righteous person but for the lawless
and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners [...] for
murderers, sexually immoral people, homosexuals ...
While both Jews and Gentiles are no longer bound by
Ceremonial, Civil and Sacrificial Laws, some of the principles
behind those particular laws are timeless and should guide
our conduct.
And they have been informed about you [Paul] that Act
21:21
you are teaching all the Jews who are among the
Gentiles the abandonment of Moses, telling them
not to circumcise their children or to live according
to our customs [= Ceremonial and Civil Laws].
So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law Rom
7:4-6
Rom [of Sin and Death] through the body of CHRIST [...]
we have been released from the law so that we serve
in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way

We are still fully "subject" to the Law of CHRIST, but not "under" the Law, what means not to be under the weight of the Law,
Not Under not to be under the condemnation of the Law, not to be cursed by the Law and not to suffer the death penalty for certain trans-

gressions of the Law. We are now with CHRIST, who forgives us our sins and condemns us only if genuine repentance for ongoing
and future sins is absent and/or we fall away from Him.
But Subject
[Paul] To those under the [weight/condemnation/curse/death of the] Law [Jews; Old Covenant believers] I became as 1Cor

To those outside the Law [Gentiles; unbelievers] I became as outside the Law - although I am not outside the Law of THEOS,
but subject to the Law of CHRIST - in order that I may gain those outside the Law.
But [only] if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Gal 5:18

The New Covenant goes even deeper. In the Old Covenant, people only followed the letter, but were not punished for the spiritual

We are to obey the Great Commandment and thus fulfill (= obey; no finality; see Rom 13:10 below) the 10 Commandments.
The The (2) Great Commandment(s) do not abolish the 10 Commandments, but "summarize" (Rom 13:9) them.

ment Dear friends, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before THEOS, and whatever we ask we receive from Him, 1Joh

CHRIST
And now I ask you, lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have had from the beginning), 2Joh

just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.

“Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Mat Love the LORD your THEOS with all your heart and Deu

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as Mat ‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone Lev

yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these among your people, but love your neighbor as

... if you want to enter into eternal life, keep the Commandments!” He said to him, “Which ones?” And JESUS said, [6] “Do not Mat
19:17-19
commit murder, [7] do not commit adultery, [8] do not steal, [9] do not give false testimony, [5] honor your father and your
mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know Joh
13:34-35
that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for the one who loves someone else has fulfilled the Law. For the Rom
13:8-10
Commandments, [7] “You shall not commit adultery, [6] you shall not commit murder, [8] you shall not steal, [10] you shall
not covet,” and if there is any other Commandment, are summed up in this statement: “You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.” Love does not commit evil against a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.
Children, obey your parents in the LORD, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” [5] (which is [not was] the first Eph
6:1-3
Commandment with a promise), “in order that it may be well with you, and you may live a long time on the earth.”

Food (clean and unclean · cooking and storing food)

Today we are allowed to eat any animal and any plant, except blood and food dedicated to idols.

“Don't you see that nothing that enters a person Mar

into their heart but into their stomach, and then out
of the body.”(JESUS declared all foods clean.)

another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
The one who eats everything must not treat with
contempt the one who does not, and the one who

does, for THEOS has accepted them.

Forgiveness vs. Punishment (THEOS - Human)

Followers of the Old Covenant asked for forgiveness of their sins through animal sacrifices and prayers of repentance.

Followers of the New Covenant claim forgiveness without sacrifices, but only through prayers of repentance.
The shedding of JESUS' blood was the perfect and final sacrifice for all our past and future sins.
Through Him everyone who believes is set free from Act “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your Isa

Giving vs. Tithing

The concept of tithing was part of the Civil Laws to the Israelites, for supporting the Levites, foreigners, orphans and widows.
Today we are to give, whatever THEOS puts on our heart. 10% can be a rough orientation, but THEOS is glad if we give more and
does not judge us if we give less. We should value our riches in CHRIST so highly that we would simply love to give.
Each of you should give what you have decided 2Cor The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and Lev

Weekly Sabbath vs. Extraordinary Sabbaths

The Sabbath Day was already part of THEOS' creation and therefore could not be part of the temporary Ceremonial Laws, but had
been formalized by THEOS through the 4th Commandment. JESUS' followers obeyed the Weekly Sabbath at least 18 times after
His death (Acts 1 - 14), including several times after the regulatory Jerusalem Council (Acts 15 onward).
On this day (Saturday!), we should make worship, fellowship, rest and a clear abstinence from the 6-day work routine the priority.

And THEOS blessed the seventh day, and He sanctified Gen For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is Exo

Sacrifices & Offerings

Today we don't give 'sacrifices' anymore. JESUS CHRIST abolished animal-, burnt-, fellowship-, grain-, guilt-, sin- and wave-
offerings, by making atonement once for all for our sins. 'Freewill offerings' (act of worship or fulfillment of a vow), which were
usually brought as burnt or peace offerings, have been replaced by the material or monetary 'giving'.

only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

JESUS also rebuked Pharisees and teachers of religious law, who added over the centuries hundreds of religious traditions to
~1500 THEOSG' law and even considered them equally important. Traditions are not bad in themselves, but should never be elevated to a
Oral / Fence sacred standing and should never suppress good deeds as e.g. a healing on a Weekly Sabbath. (more details in the separate overview)
Laws So He answered and said to them, “Why do you also break the Commandment of THEOS because of your tradition? [...] ‘This Mat
15:3-9
people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me, and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines
the commandments of men.’
And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad [little boxes placed on Mat
23:5
foreheads; based on misinterpretation of Exo 13:9,16] and make their tassels long [correctly based on Num 15:38, but
made longer to impress people].
... they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions which they have received and hold fast to - for Mar
7:4-5
example, the washing of cups and pitchers and bronze kettles and dining couches. And the Pharisees and the scribes asked
him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?”
“Yes,” said JESUS, “what sorrow also awaits you experts in religious law! For you crush people with unbearable religious Luk
11:46
demands, and you never lift a finger to ease the burden.

Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your THEOS ... Deu 4:2

Epilogue All of the things that I am commanding you, you must diligently observe; you shall not add to it, and you shall not take away Deu 12:32
from it.”
Therefore I loved your commandments more than gold, even fine gold. Psa 119:127

Every word of THEOS is flawless; He is a shield for him who takes refuge in Him. Do not add to His words lest He rebuke you Pro 30:5-6
and you be found a liar.
And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered ... Joh 10:35

... the Gentiles, who do not have the Law [those people who have never seen a bible / people living in isolated Rom
2:14-16
civilizations], do by nature the things of the Law, [...] who show the work of the Law written on their hearts, their conscience
bearing witness and their thoughts one after another accusing or even defending them on the day when THEOS judges the
secret things of people, according to my Gospel, through CHRIST JESUS.
Now that all has been heard, here is the final conclusion: Fear THEOS and obey His commandments, for this is the whole duty Ecc

of man.
