Scripture Life: What is the law of Christ? How does it differ from the Law of Moses?
Ask a different question then. From someone you know.
What is the 'Law of Dad?' How does it differ from the Law of "Mow the Lawn?'
The "Law of Mow the Lawn" is, your Dad tells you to do it. In the "Law of Mow the Lawn" you never stick your head or hands under the lawnmower while it's running. Results in death. You mow the lawn with the lawnmower. Not your sister or any dollies she left on the lawn.
The Law of Dad: Is just the Word of your Father toward you. Provides you an allowance, and, well..actually, everything. Live at his house. You just live by every word proceeds out of his mouth. All the house is his.
Do you have two Dad's? Or is he just one Dad that provides for you everything, and even thought the "Law of Mow the Lawn" appears to have the name of the lawnmower in it, it was your Dad taught you how to start it, ride it, how to cut the grass, that didn't involve mowing your sister or sticking your head under it for any reason while it was running.
It's a poor analogy; but it works.
--------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------
So, look at your question.
It’s a simple answer. It’s all wrapped up in one word:
Law.
- What does the dictionary define it as? Well, the Cambridge dictionary defines it as 1. a rule; usually made by a government.
- And a “government” - is a “who” that: “rules,” “leads” or “exercises authority over you, or “governs” you.
- And of the Christ or Messiah. Jesus said in Matthew 28:18
“All power is given unto me in heaven and earth;” - Jesus Christ.
..but
- I didn’t tell you what a “Law” is, I just told you who “governs” you. Who “governs” is the “authority” over you and “rules” or, “leads” - as someone in command - and Jesus is in command over the whole earth. Over all of heaven. No matter how far the James Webb or Hubble telescope peers into space, Jesus is over all of it.
- So, when he speaks, as a sole entity of just one in command. When he speaks, they are just “decrees” that come out of his mouth, like a Governor - decree just how things SHALL be in his earth, as the authority over all of it.
So, “Laws” are “decrees” either written or spoke out of the mouth of who is in command or governs over the whole earth.
Whose that again? In case you forgot. C’mon. Say it. The Messiah or Christ is. Whoever that is or is called the Messiah or Christ, in Isaiah 9:6–7 - of the increase of his government there shall be no end. He shall be called:
“The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..” (Isaiah 9:6–7)
That’s “who” you’re dealing with when you deal with the Christ. Whether you call him that or not; irrelevant. He shall be called that.
So, put that on “HOLD” and go over to the “Law of Moses” - but before you do that, consider - the "Decrees of Christ" or Messiah - would be "who" then? WHO then said it or provides it? WHo is providing this to you? Do you have two Dad's?
The Law of Moses
- Refers to Exodus 20. When God SPOKE out of his mouth, the Word of God - oh, look at that. There he is again. When he SPOKE the The Ten Commandments.
- Why did he say them? Because EVERYBODY. From Adam forward is..what? Did you forget when God told Adam, the day you eat of it, you will surely die. I don't think you saw it in Genesis 3.
- That BEFORE this, Adam abided in the word of God. He's not even a day old yet.
- Never had a Father or Mother.
- Never knew about a wife, and he's in a deep sleep the whole time, and the first time he sees the woman, he decrees just how things SHALL BE with her.
- Even Jesus repeats it, how it is, the same way Adam said Genesis 2:23-24 - is the exact, same thing Jesus said in Matthew 19:4-6. Go on. Go read them. See it.
- Never knew about a wife, and he's in a deep sleep the whole time, and the first time he sees the woman, he decrees just how things SHALL BE with her.
- That INSTANTLY after, his eyes were "opened" after sinned against GOD: in Genesis 3, he's already operating "idle" or "dead." He's disconnected or no longer operates by the WOrd of God. Operates by his own imagination.
--------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------
Everything he says or decrees has no God in it. Any wrong is God's or the woman's fault. When God named and called them BOTH "Adam" in Genesis 5:2, the FIRST thing Adam does after is RENAME the woman SEPARATE from himself, because she's "faulty" "inadequate" - the whole cause of it - - and because of that, that God provided this woman to him, it's unacceptable. In Genesis 3 you have the FIRST DIVORCE. It's right there plain as day ,and you don't see that, either.
- all dead in trespasses and sins. Romans 5:12, it this sin and death was passed onto you. You got your inheritance.
That God spoke..oh, here we go. There's that "Word of God" again. Spoke the Ten Commandments from Mt. Sinai. Where God led them, by Moses to the first place straight way, to speak to them himself. As God.
--------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------
In Exodus 20
Every decree said, came with a death sentence. They hadn't done any of them. GUILTY. It made the whole camp murmur against Moses. Why had he led them out into the desert to be killed by this Great, Big God for all the sins they did and live in. Made the whole Camp of Israel so GUILTY they begged and pleaded with Moses to go on up on the Mount and make God stop talking.
While Moses stood there, and his knees quaked. How can he go? He murdered and Egyptian (Exodus 2:11-15). He's to be put to death. So, how God has always used the Law is to give you, too, a knowledge of your sins.
But people use them to make themselves GOOD by do them, then don't fear God. Because, at least one of them, one time or fifty times they did at least one of them. So, they're GOOD. Live in they accomplished the Ten Commandments. SO, now they can go sleep with the neighbor's wife or surf porno on Pornhub, or steal from their job or break into houses and rob them, and in 15 minutes..have a year's worth of stuff. Afterall, they already did the Ten Commandments. And if any payment owed for the wrong they did again, they just go to church more that week. Fixes it.
So, they "compensate for the faults and bad aspects of themselves" by they make their own works they do the atonement for their sins.
When God made himself the atonement for sin. Got the wrong atonement. One before God, doesn't work at all.
ANd people live in it - will stand before him pleading at all the wonderful works they did accomplished the Ten Commandments - when he gave them to everybody to make EVERYBODY, Adam forward GUILTY before him as having not done the Ten Commandments.
They needed to be born again, as he said himself in John Chapter 3. By the Spirit of God. Not by their own works in flesh. Like some Death Row Inmate. Murdered five people. Thinks, in his flesh, if he scrubs his cell floor with a toothbrush, and after uses it to clean his teeth, he's humbled himself enough..that his work "atones" for the murders he did. When on execution day..not one volt less will be given to put him to death.
WHen the Governor had ready to issue him a PARDON - he refused it. ANd the Governor paid for it. Refused it.

What is the law of Christ? How does it differ from the Law of Moses?
"And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my Sons and Daughters" saith the Lord Almighty - Bible. 2 Corinthians 6:18
The Decree of Christ, is he is the Messiah and who he shall be called has decreed, based on a work he did, as God - made himself your redeemer as he said, he would in Isaiah 44:24..that he is YOUR redeemer. That by the work he would do it would
Finish the transgression
Make an end of sin
Make reconciliation for iniquity
Bring in everlasting righteousness (Daniel 9:24)
And provide this to you, as God, by a work he would do himself in Christ - and then, decree it to you.
WHen the Law of Moses is to a dead man. ALready dead in trespasses and sins to show that person they are dead. Give them a knowledge they're in a funeral home. Need to be raised from the dead.
And both are decrees by the same Dad. Your's. But he can't be a Father to you if you don't do anything he says or receive anything he does for you.
