Mar 22, 2021 at 6:32 comment added Adam The new covenant is not about the Law (ie 10 commandments) It is specifically about an agreement between God and his people. If they follow his statutes, then he will bless them. If not...well, he would punish them. The Israelites fell flat on their faces trying to keep to the covenant, so Jesus gave them a new one! As in the case of the law of Medes and the Persians...once a decree is made, it cannot be changed. God is unchanging in the same way. What he does is extend grace to us, however, that does not mean the rules or expectations change!
Mar 21, 2021 at 23:31 comment added curiousdannii This is really a systematic theology question, and there are lots of different answers out there. Some Christians say such laws do still apply. Others say they apply but only to Jews. Others say they've been transformed. Others say they've been fulfilled. Others say they've been abolished. I think questions about these positions would be better asked at Christianity.

Mar 21, 2021 at 20:55 comment added Dottard Does this answer your question? What is the difference between "abolishing the law" and "fulfilling the law" in terms of meaning and implications, in light of Matthew 5:17-20?
