In (Psalms 89:34) we read this word of God ” My Covenant I will not break, nor ALTER the word that has gone out of My lips”. We can clearly see that God cannot and will not break the 10 Commandment Covenant made to His people. Even though His people continued to break their end of the deal , God has remained steadfast in honoring His part. Which means that ALL of the 10 Commandments are still in force and have not been “altered”.
Unfortunately the vast Christian empire says ” Yes, God did alter the Covenant. He replaced a spoken Commandment with another Commandment”. But when pressed and asked “where” does He say that His “new” Covenant has been changed in the Bible? Where is it said that EVEN ONE of the Covenant Commandments was changed? They draw a blank. They CANNOT produce ANYTHING to back up their belief. But unfortunately it really doesn’t matter to them because they would rather follow the crowd than to really study God’s word. The Bible says (Hosea 4:6) “My people perish for lack of knowledge, because they have rejected knowledge, I will also reject them…”
He goes on in Hosea to say it is because they have forgotten His “Law” that they perish. Should we also fail to study His word and Law? To take the chance in also perishing because we didn’t look up God’s word on all that we believe? To verify if certain doctrines are sound when compared to God’s word? IT IS IMPERATIVE WE SEARCH SCRIPTURE!
If we really study God’s word we’ll find that there was a “change” in the Old and NEW Covenant. But it wasn’t what was IN the Covenant. It was “where” the Covenant moved to. It went from tables of stone to our hearts and minds!( Heb.8:10) THAT is the change. NOT ONE of the original Commandments was “altered”. If it had been then God is a liar. And ofcourse we can never accuse Him of this, God forbid!
How do we know God’s original 10 are still in force? There are TONS of scripture pointing to this but I’ll use my favorite (Psalms 111:7-8) “ALL His Commandments are sure, they stand fast forever and ever” Now, think about this. This word of God was written centuries BEFORE our Lord came to earth. So it was said way before the time where many Christians say it was changed. So here again God word is lying if they did not stand forever and ever because ONE was changed ( Sabbath to Sunday). So one did not remain standing. You see how when we really believe God’s word, we become clear on His truths!
Some will say, “Rob, why are you dwelling so much on His Law?” I would answer that GOD HIMSELF dwells on it! In ( Rev. 11:19) we read ” And the temple of God which is in heaven WAS OPENED, and the ark of the COVENANT appeared IN HIS TEMPLE….” Now look at that! Right in the middle of the MOST HOLY PLACE is God’s Law– His Covenant with His people. Do I need say more??
So I beseech all whom call themselves ” Christian” to study His word. And once you do, with humble heart, you’ll find that His word says in essence— OBEY, LOVE, FOLLOW JESUS. But Jesus can’t be followed unless you are willing to OBEY His Law- Covenant. Sadly most don’t study and only follow the crowd. May God be near to all who humble themselves and say ” Lord, I know nothing, teach me your word” Then you can be SURE He will! Amen.

Powerful post. was inspired by the end part where you said “Jesus can’t be followed unless you are willing to OBEY His Law”

Thanks brother. Yes, anyone who wants to “follow” Him must be willing to do what he SAID. And He certainly confirmed and established that His 10 Commandment Law will not pass away (unless heaven and earth do) ( Matt 5:18)
