Here's what a lot of people will get wrong on this.
They'll say this, they'll say,
well, I realize we're not under the old covenant.
I realize we're not living in the Old Testament,
but the 10 commandments, I mean, that's permanent.
That's engraving in stone for crying out loud.
And what they're getting at here
is they want us to observe the Sabbath.
Okay, because obviously the rest of the commandments
are all reiterated in the New Testament, okay?
The thing that is done away in the New Testament,
specifically, it's mentioned specifically in Colossians,
it's mentioned specifically in Romans,
it's mentioned specifically that in Hebrews
that we don't have to do these feast days.
Galatians tells us we don't have to observe
Sabbaths and feasts and these different things
and not to observe times and days
and months and years and all that.
You know, even though there are specific things
in the New Testament telling us
that we don't need to observe the Sabbath,
they say, well, but it says the 10 commandments though.
Okay, but here's the thing,
the 10 commandments are not some big exalted thing
in the New Testament that are somehow separate
from the old covenant.
In fact, show me the words 10 commandments
in the New Testament.
The Old Testament talks about 10 commandments
in Deuteronomy 4.13, in Deuteronomy 10.4,
talks about the 10 commandments.
You know, I could show you some New Testament scripture
on the 10 commandments.
I can show you 2 Corinthians 3 saying that it's done away.
Right, that's where you see specific mention of
the stone tablets and the 10 commandments
and it's saying, hey, this is the ministration of death,
the ministration of condemnation and it's done away.
Okay, now obviously the other nine commandments,
we're supposed to be doing those things anyway
because those things just have to do with basic morality
and things that obviously are still in force
under the New Testament.
For example, you know, obviously the Bible clearly tells
in the New Testament that we're not to murder,
that we're not to steal, that we're not to commit adultery.
These things are all repeated.
Obviously we're still supposed to have no other gods
before him.
Obviously we're still supposed to flee idolatry
and not take his name in vain, but to sit there and say,
well, even though the New Testament has these verses
telling us not to worry about the Sabbath,
but we got to do it because it's in the 10 commandments,
folks, you don't understand the 10 commandments
because the 10 commandments are a summary
of the old covenant.
That's what Deuteronomy 4.13 says.
That's what 2 Corinthians 3 says.
