What would you do

He tossed the whole Mosaic Law...thus a New Covenant.

So now the Ten Commandments mean zilch? BTW, I get what you are saying.

The New Covenant has some similarities to the Old, much like two contracts may have similar language. Nine of the ten commandments are repeated in the NT but really we just have one commandment.

I agree, but it's still a sin to commit murder, adultery, etc., whether the NT mentions them or not. Can't remember where it is (Hebrews?) that talks about the Law being a schoolmaster to make us aware of our sins. I don't see them throwing out the OT Law, so much as affirming its intended purpose.

I see Paul tossing it out as far as a law that needs to be obeyed it has fulfilled its purpose and now is done. Complete. Finished.

Gal. 3:19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

So it is no longer a sin to lie, cheat, steal, kill, worship idols?

Hmmm I don't know...can you find prohibitions against those things in the New Covenant? Also don’t confuse the Mosaic Law with the entire OT, clearly not the same. the point that Paul makes in Galatians is that the Mosaic Law is an interruption in between the promise to Abraham and the coming of Christ.

I agree in the sense that we all know it took Christ to fulfill the Law, but there is still a huge wealth of information contained in the Law that can give us insight into what pleases and displeases God. Righteousness can be found by sy studying the Law. I know that our righteousness is by faith, but our faith establishes the Law, according to Paul:

31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 3:31 (KJV)

I disagree my friend.. he came NOT TO DO AWAY with the LAW of MOSES... he simply enhanced that law to its spiritual application
