DID JESUS BRING A NEW LAW?

DID JESUS BRING A NEW LAW?

Many Christians faithfully believe that Jesus (upon him be peace) came and brought with
him a different law than what the prophets of old had taught. They faithfully believe that
God changed the rules in the middle of the game and even forced everyone to adjust their
way of how they perceived him. The concept of God in the Old Testament is fairly
straightforward and simple. There is One God. Nothing else should be worshipped.
Christians believe that this teaching was outdated and God ordered this new, very confusing
concept of Himself. God was now a mystery that could not be explained. God was one…
but he was also three. He was God… but Jesus was also God. Then something called the
Holy Spirit was thrown in …and IT was God! The very foundation of this doctrine is
illogical and does not stand up to reason. In simple mathematics three does not equal one no
matter how many times you try to reconcile it. What if for every one dollar I had, the bank
would consider it as three. What if the banks counted one dollar for every three dollars you had.
Those same logic bending, mathematically challenged Christians would become math
whizzes overnight explaining to the banks that one=one and three=three! God creates this
world based in logic for our own well being. Then, according to the Christians, he forces us
to worship him in a way that our minds cannot even get around? According to this teaching,
we are to navigate through life with a sound sense of logic and reason in the real world. But
on Sun-day we step into this illogical place where three is one. ‘God can do anything’, is what
may be said. Let us examine that statement. Don’t stop reading this! Let me finish. God does
not do what is inconsistent with being God. In other words, God is perfect and does not do
that which diminishes His perfection. For example, can God manifest himself in the form of
a gnat? You may say, ‘Sure’. OK, that gnat is then flying around some man’s dinner plate and
is swatted and killed. Is this in the nature of God? He does not do things that are
inconsistent with being the Creator, most High. Apply the same logic to God manifesting
himself as a man. A man who hurts, cries, prays and in fact, can be killed.
According to Matthew, chapter 5, verses 17, 18, 19 Jesus explicitly states,”
11
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven.
In Matt 19:16, 17 it says,
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have
eternal life?
And He said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
And in Mark 10:19,
Thou knowest the comma ndments. Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false
witness, Defraud not. Honor thy Father and Mother.
Not only do these verses state explicitly that Jesus came as a continuation of the law of
Moses but in the latter verse Jesus plainly differentiates between himself and God when
someone called him ‘good’.
In Mark 12:29 Jesus says,”…The first of all commandments is , Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God
is one Lord…”
The emphasis here is on having no other deity except the One God. Is this the focus of
present day Christianity? Why is the word ‘our’ used? If Jesus is God or 1/3 God, why would
he say ‘the Lord our God is One Lord’? Is he his own God? We are searching for truth dear
reader and we must acknowledge this major inconsistency concerning the words attributed
to Jesus and the teachings of Christianity if we are to be honest in our quest.
Concerning other aspects of the law of Moses, it states in Luke 2:21, 22,
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus,
which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him
to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
If we honestly read the gospels, can we come to the conclusion that Jesus came to
abolish the understanding of the One God as taught by Noah, Abraham, and Moses and
replace this with a ‘new’ religion of three gods in one, god-incarnate in man, ritual blood
sacrifice, and vicarious atonement? Where did Jesus speak about any of these things? These
12
ideologies could not have been further from the simple message of Jesus which was to
sincerely adhere to the law of God in submission.
