Use of the Law

Is it still a sin to commit murder? How about adultery?

Eph 2:15 (KJV)


14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:14 (KJV)


1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:


8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Heb 9:1-14 (KJV)


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


7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 7:7 (KJV)

I still don't see the distinction you are looking for. The verse you quote make no reference to part of the law being abolished.

Brother, the key word in that group of scriptures is ordinances. Also, you must be a really fast reader to have read all that that fast. BTW, haven't we discussed this before?

I read it. Why is the key word ordinance. How does that give you distinctions within the law?

Brother, I am still waking up for the day. lol Lemme get some coffee in me and get my shower, and then we can talk about this a little more in depth, ok? I believe the part of the law that was abolished was the part with the sacrifices and whatnot. The part that makes us aware of our sin is still the law of God. Otherwise, it would no longer be a sin to commit murder, adultery, and other sins we know to be sins.

Get your coffee, and that shower for sure...I was wondering what that smell was. Forget about the last sentence up there, let’s not get the cart before the horse. First, let’s find something in Scripture that shows there is a division in the law. Oh and I may be outta here soon if the thunderstorms hold off Cody has a baseball game tonight.

NP, Brother. Nothing says we have to have this discussion today. I'm kinda in a bad mood anyway. I hope it passes by the time I take my shower. My son is in there now.
