The 10 Commandments of Love By Aleph[/align]You have heard it say, Yeshua replaced the 10 commendments with one, is this true ?[/align]No he summed up all in one as the 10 commandments are commandments of love not of condemnation.[/align][/align][/align]"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God"
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' [/align](Because you Love Him he will be your only God)
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' [/align](Because you love him and he dwells in your heart and mind, you don't need an image to worship)
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' (Because you love him above all things, you will not use his name in vain or curse it)
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' [/align](Because you Love him you will honor his decreeds)
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.' [/align]( Because your Father and mother represents the creator's love and power, you will love them as he has loved you, when he created mankind)
SIX: 'You shall not murder.' ( Because all humanity is the image of the creator you will love it and not destroy it ,including yourself)
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'( Because you love your wife as Messiah loves his Church, youshould love her and not betray her)
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' (Loving your neighbor's possessions because you love him)
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' ( Because you love your neighbor you shall not bear false witness against him as he is as you are)
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'( again Loving your Neighbor and his possessionsbecause he loves yours as well as God has loved you as well)[/align]The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New Testament
About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
The above is what Yeshua Meant, Can you see the commandments are based in love ?
Shalom

You have heard it say, Yeshua replaced the 10 commendments with one, is this true ?
[/align]No he summed up all in one as the 10 commandments are commandments of love not of condemnation.
Amen !! Love doesn't look for a loop-hole to justify ungodliness, but rather seeks a reason to embrace Gods likeness!! John 14:15-21 If ye love me, keep my commandments V21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and I will manifest myself unto him. John 14:23-24 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him V:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: John 15:7-14 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. V10 If ye keep my commands, ye shall abide in my love. V12 This is my commandmend, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. V14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are no grievous. Romans 13:10 Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 1 John 3: 22-24 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. V24: And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in John 5:42-47 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. V46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. V47 But if ye believe not his writtings, how shall ye believe my words?
Jesus plainly said that the key to believing his words was in believing what Moses had written!! I repeat myself again: To have a proper understanding of the New Testament, One must have a good understanding of the Old Testament. To know Jesus properly as the scriptures testify of him, One must learn the lessons taught by the schoolmaster. Believing on Jesus is essential to salvation, HOWEVER one must believe on him as the scriptures HATH said. John 7:38 Notice Jesus didn't say as the New Testament writters will say, but as hath been written already.
The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, The Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed.
Romans6 15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey"whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? Romans7
4So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. 6[/color]7For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, [fn1] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. 10[color=#800080]11But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Galations3
1213All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." [fn3]1617Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." [fn4]2021The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." [fn5]2425Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." [fn6]2829He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galations3 3031Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 3233So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ [fn8] that we might be justified by faith. 3637Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law Galations5 3839So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 4041For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 42[color=#800080]43But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. Ephesians 2 4445For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 4647by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 4849and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 5051He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 52[color=#800080]53For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

ray; No question with the scriptures presented, but a couple of questions to clairify in my mind where you are coming from and where you are headed with them.
Was "faith" before the Law, during the law, or after the Law? As partakers with Abraham and Gods promise unto him through adpotion, grafted in, ect. We become the seed of Abraham, correct? Jesus said if you were Abrahams seed, you would do the works of Abraham. Are we still bound unto something that was before the Law even came into existance?
The Law was written for our admonition. Are we beyound its admonitions now?
The Law was our schoolmaster. Do we no longer need instruction?
When God gives a statute forever, or declares a statute to be everlasting, How long is everlasting?
Does the word, "fulfilled" mean causing something to cease to exist? Or does it mean bringing into its full state and purpose?
The blood must still be applied for remission today, did Jesus cause the need for blood to cease, or did he bring the types and shadows into prefected and exceptable sacrifice of Jesus which cleanses us who come unto him today?
What forbiden act is now exceptable since the Law was fulfilled in Christ? Are they all more sinful now than before?
Jesus said not one jot or tittle would pass until all be fulfilled. Of the 7 feasts under the law, only 4 have been fulfilled todate. Trumpets will signal the calling of the church. The Day of Atonement will follow, then the feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled in the 1000 years. Was Jesus mistaken? IMO we have been mislead and confused by false teachers for 2000 long years and are so ingrained in their theories that we cannot give anything outside them, an honest look.
When Jesus said on these two hang all the law. He was 100% correct, ALL hangs upon loving God and our neighbor. Not one precepthas been dropped from the law by a New Testament experience of salvation. Love fulfills every single one without exception.
I very much agree that 2000 years of church has led people away from the truth of the Word. That is why I only typed the scripture itself. I also agree thatLovefulfills every single one of the commands without exception. I dont know if you are insinuating someone taught me false doctrinebutguess if what I wrote was something I heard from a false teacher it was Paul. He was the one writing the majority of the scripture that I posted.Most of the questions you asked are anwserd in the sripture that I posted butsince you ask I will give my opinion on what I have read and meditated on while in thespirit. Not the opinion of what I heard atchruch. When Jesus died he gave us the Holy Spirit. He told us we must be born again to enter into heaven. When we are born again we have died to the flesh and the worldly man we are. Since we have died in the flesh we have died to sinand the law no longer is bound to us. Then wenourish our newbornspirit with the new command of love. If we live by the Spirit and keep the command of love we will also be keeping the Law. If you love you wont murder, if you love you wont steal, if you love you wont bear false witness, if you love you wont covet, if you love you wont have idols etc. This is how all the commandments hang on the command of love. This is how love covers a multitude of sin. I will explain more in a moment but I also want to sayIf you live by the spirit and have matured you will also overcome sin. The spirit of Jesus that dwells within you will give you strenth to overcome because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. You will still be tempted but you will overcome it. As far as faith here is a scripture to feed on! Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith Rev14:12Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Jesus made the commandments and faithas 1.How? Ephesians2 4445For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 4647by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,4849and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 5051He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 5253For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. The law itself will not justify you. Jesus died to carry the burden of the commandments. We cannot be obedient to the law. Jesus was! When we take on his spirit the law of sin is obeyed through him in us. He created a way to make peace by shedding his blood as an everlasting sacrifice for sin. Hecarries the old which is the commandments we combine itwith the new covenant of Love. Then we have peace.Its how we have access to the father. Just IMO and I am CRAZY! But itscrazy for God.

Most of all be true to yourself because if you aren't God knows all of your deepest desires anyway. If you cannot be true to yourself than how can you be true to anyone else? When Jesus died on the cross, he proved that love is commitment. If you are not committed than how do you expect him to listen to you?
