Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

We are still to follow the law of Moses and its examples in the Old Testament (sometimes just called “the law” or “law” when referred to in the New Testament).

Matthew 5:18  –  John 19:28-30  –  Book of Leviticus – Galatians 5:3  –  Colossians 2:14 – Hebrews chap. 8-9 – Hebrews 14:16   –  James  2:10 

Fact of the Day

No!  There were 600 commandments in the Law of Moses, not just the famous 10.

This old covenant required stoning people to death for adultery,  donating 1/3 of their income to God, having a separate priesthood, keeping the 7th day of the week holy, offering blood sacrifices, etc., etc.  Try plowing through the tedious book of Leviticus (Levi-ticus) – third book of the Bible.

Paul explained that, if we keep one part of the law, we are obligated to keep it all.  James said that, if we break just one of the laws, we are guilty of breaking them all.

Jesus nailed them to the cross. Jesus said not one dot of the Law of Moses would end until all was fulfilled, all finished.  Jesus fulfilled them all. How? He actually kept the Law of Moses perfectly and never sinned. No one in the history of the world had ever accomplished that.  And he fulfilled every prophecy about him in the Old Testament.

Jesus said not one jot or tittle of the old Law of Moses would pass away until all had been fulfilled, all finished.  On the cross, seeing everything had been fulfilled, he asked for a drink, said, “It is fulfilled/finished” and died.
