If you study the teachings of Jesus diligently, you will find that it is in harmony with God’s Laws of the Old Testament in regards to morality. For instance, the Law forbids murder- Jesus teaches that you should turn the other cheek; the Law forbids adultery – Jesus teaches that lusting after a woman is adultery and so on… In fact you could say the morality standard Jesus demands is even higher than what the Law demands.

In order to understand the difficulties of the two covenants, the book of Esther is worth a study. Though the Book of Esther doesn’t even once mention God, it is an excellent illustration of the two covenants. Suffice it to say we don’t have the time nor space to narrate the story here. I’ll summarize it in the shortest possible way :-

A Persian King decreed an order to kill and annihilate the Jews because a certain man instigated him. This order was sealed with the king’s ring [the 1st covenant]. A certain Jew – Mordecai pleaded with the queen (who was his adopted daughter) to help her people (for she was also a Jew). So the Queen approached the king and confessed she was also a Jew and pleaded the king to reverse the decree. But the king answered that no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked. Now the king loved his wife and wanted to save her so he ordered a new decree that granted the Jews in every city the right to protect themselves; to destroy, kill and annihilate anyone that might attack them [the new covenant].Thus the Jews defeated their enemies and were saved from annihilation without the king having to revoke his previous decree.

In all honesty, can you charge the king of being double minded or changing his mind? I’d say it was a masterpiece in execution of judgment!

The demands of God’s law have not changed, even a little. He still demands modern people perfect obedience to His law. Jesus coming did not change God’s demands. Instead, Jesus fulfilled all of God’s demands in His own person. He was the only human being to ever have perfectly, sinlessly fulfilled God’s covenant. Because of this He is a perfect Savior. The blood sacrifices of bulls and goats in the OT were necessary to show how awful sin was to the Israelites. This demand has not disappeared. But those sacrifices only pointed forward to the true once for all perfect and sufficient sacrifice in Jesus. They had no saving power in themselves. But know this!!! God still demands the entire law be kept even now for all persons. Unbelievers must keep the whole law if they have any hope to be saved. But of course, such a demand is beyond the possibility of any man … it is an impossible supposition because we are bent on rebellion … and this is God’s purpose in the Law, so that we might be conscious of sin (Rom 3:19, 20) and so that He might show mercy to us (ROM 11:32). Christ met the laws demands and so those who are in Him, who are united to Him by the Spirit, are accepted by God AS IF they themselves had fully kept the law. He counts us righteous in Christ because He obeyed all of those “ridiculous” laws. His life of perfect obedience to the law and His death which He was a lamb without blemish, were given for us, in our place. Otherwise we would be judged and receive the resurrection of the unrighteous.

Deuteronomy 4:2
Does god change his mind when it comes to the nature of morality? according to paul’s teaching
what is the law of the old testament? women to wear head scarfs ( I’ve seen some )as a form of dignity, not to eat pork( I eat pork ), to worship one God,( I do, but I was asked by a friend, to explaine trinity? the union of the Father and Son and Holy Ghost in one Godhead)

in other words, to change these things, the writer of Hebrews is implying that God is imperfect and changes his moral nature

knowledge and being reasonable
in my opinion (i know u hold diff opinion).. Paul wrote the book with his own hands and claimed inspiration from God
how did this happen? is it true?

Eee Mizo ka lo ni ve reng mai period. No question mashe to keep things formal,
