Why did God change His law after Christ rose from the dead?

Question

Scripture please, if any.

Answer 1

Still loading the questions, I see.

The old covenant ended with Christ's death, even as all covenants/contracts/legal agreements end upon the death of either party.  The new covenant began as a result of the same event, seeing as these covenants are also described as testaments.

As any person knowledgeable with Scripture knows, the new covenant was prophesied to not be like the covenant God made with Israel after they left Egypt. The Apostle Paul points much of this out in Romans chapter 7 and II Corinthians chapter 3. The writer of Hebrews brings this out in much or Hebrews, especially chapter 9.

Seeing as Paul also pointed out that people who insist on remaining in the teachings of Moses; i.e. the old covenant have a veil before their eyes in this regard, it is a total waste of time to point this all out to you, but perhaps it will help those who see your question and read my answer.

Answer 2

He never had any laws to begin with. It is all man - made. No need for scripture. The Bible is not the truth.  

Answer 3

If he wanted to but God never really changes his mind.

Answer 4

He didn't change the law. HE doesn't change his mind. He knows whats going to happen next and has no need to change his mind. He changes the way we look at things. (The Sabbath is the Sabbath on Friday evening till Saturday evening. When Yeshua meet with the apostles he met on Sunday but the Bible never says that the Sabbath changed)

Answer 5

He didn't, He just sum up the ten commandment into two.  To love God above all things and to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Answer 6

(Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15)

Answer 7

He didn't.

No point in repeating what Schneb and Swat_59 got it right.

Answer 8

He didn't...He only postponed punishment for sin until we die...giving time and grace for us to repent...the law was fulfilled in Christ...consummating the OT and NT...

Romans 2

God's Righteous Judgment

1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?

5But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6God "will give to each person according to what he has done."[a] 7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11For God does not show favoritism.

12All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

The Jews and the Law

17Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; 18if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."[b]

25Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. 26If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? 27The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

28A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.

Romans 3

God's Faithfulness

1What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2Much in every way! First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.

3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? 4Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written:

   "So that you may be proved right when you speak

      and prevail when you judge."[a]

5But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?" 8Why not say—as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say—"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is deserved.

No One is Righteous

9What shall we conclude then? Are we any better[b]? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. 10As it is written:

   "There is no one righteous, not even one;

    11there is no one who understands,

      no one who see

Answer 9

He didn't change His law.  He enforced it.  The cost of sin in OT was death.  The cost of sin in NT is death.  However, in the NT, the cost of death was paid through the blood of Christ.  That's the only difference.

Answer 10

I will be back later to post passages but the simple answer is that God did not change his law his done away with a law that was not complete if you read the old testament you will see that the old testament law of burning sacrifices for sins was never ment to last,       but a perfect sacrifice would come to take the place for all sin and to over come death.  the savrifice is was Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:17

Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."

Just like you no longer have to have Physical Cumcision, you no longer have to have Burnt animal sacrifice,

This tells you how to become a Christian

John 9:31

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

John3:5

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God .

Acts 2:36-38

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

just remeber, if your praying for things that are not according to the Will of God it will not come to pass, or maybe your wanting something done in your time and not time God wants you have something

Answer 11

Scripture is the problem here, not the answer.

Sin is a man made concept that changes from time to time and place to place according to the conventions of society. God is eternal, infinite and unchanging. God has only one desire, that each of us learn to love all of God's other children the same way he loves us.

Forget every other rule you've been taught because they are men's rules not God's. There is only one column on God's scorecard and it's labeled Love. Just as Jesus taught, all you need to is love everyone including your enemies.

Answer 12

Why did God change his position on incest?

Answer 13

He didn't. He fulfilled it in Him. The Law was not just a list of dos and don'ts to keep. It was a standard by which we would know the Messiah when He came. He was to be the Lamb without spot or blemish--ie perfect sacrifice. What? By whose standards? By God's standards, hence the need for the Law. The Law showed that all were imperfect and could not work their way to heaven. Jesus fulfilled it and was the perfect sacrifice.

Seventh Day Adventists are in the habit of always trying to put new wine into old wineskins. Forget it, it will not last. That is why it says clearly in Colossians 2:16-17...

"So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ."

Matthew 5:17

Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."

Romans 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Now, let me ask YOU something. How did Abraham keep the Sabbath? Did he? How was HE justified? Here's a hint... he died BEFORE the Law was given in Sinai.

Romans 3:28

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

Answer 14

He didn't.

Answer 15

It wasn't changed, it was fulfilled. Protestantism cannot identify with the Jewish ancestry of Christianity because the reformers abolished the priesthhood and the Toda sacrifice.

Answer 16

God didn't. Man did.

God is Love, Love is God.

Trust Love.

Peace, love, calm and positivity to all.

Answer 17

If you mean by sacrifices, let me break it down....

1. In the Old Testament, Adam and Eve sinned, and so their sin separated them from God, who is without sin.

2. God required bloodshed for their sins to be forgiven, as your life is in the blood. ( basically, you'll die without blood, so it resembles life.)

3. Jesus died on the cross, shed his innocent blood (which is better than animal blood, as Jesus knew how to sin but didn't) and went to h**l for 3 days to justify the time we were supposed to spend there.

4. God no longer needed sacrifices for sins, as the ulimate sacrifice and ulimate blood was given already for us even before we sinned.

To sum it all up....

In the Old Testament ("Old Covenant" or "Old Promise") the people were waiting for the Messiah to deliver them from the old Law.

In the New Testament ("New Covenant" or "New Promise") Jesus delivered His people from the Law because it was time for it. See Mattew  Chapter 26:  verses 26-29.

"As they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and asked God's blessing on it. Then he broke it into pieces and gave it to the disciples saying, "Take it and eat it, for this is my body." And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, "Each of you drink from it, FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD, WHICH SEALS THE  NEW COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND HIS PEOPLE. Mark my words, I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom."

So Jesus was a new covenant, a new promise, and had new regulations, as he rescued us from the Law of Moses.

Answer 18

Because that god is fictional. That's how the story was written.
