The Church lied to us

If you Read Matthew 5 the entire chapter, not only did Christ tell us the law would not end until the earth passes away, but He also reinforces the law by clarifying that angry, lustful thoughts, wrongful divorce, oaths, and not loving our enemies were sinning. Was breaking God's laws Why would any Christian not believe or want to keep the 10 Commandments? or say I dont have to keep the commandments?Warning, look at what the verse doesn't say when you read them  (The 10 commandments)

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #1

 

Romans 10 and verse 4 say Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. Does this verse really mean that Christians have no moral obligation to the law of God?  (Romans 7:12 God's Law is Holy So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.)

Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 James 1:17

Colossians 2 in verse 14 says, 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.  Were the 10 commandments really against us?  Were the 10 commandments really contrary to us?  Did Jesus really nail the 10 commandments to His cross?

(Romans 8:7 KJV)  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  (Mark 7:8  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Was the middle wall of partition the 10 commandments?  Did Jesus abolish the 10 commandments?

Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #4

The book of Galatians says the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Exactly what law was a schoolmaster to bring us to faith in Christ? Was it the 10 commandments like so many Christians suppose?

The Schoolmaster was the aminal sacrifice that showed all sin requires a blood sacrifice and led to the cross

Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”  The thing Jesus said don’t think is the very thing that many Christians are thinking and that is that Jesus abolished the law. Just what did Jesus mean when He said, I came to fulfill the law?  Does this mean there is no moral obligation to the 10 commandments?
