And anyone can red HEBREWS 8:13 says that the LAW has WAXETH. OLD // GOROSKO is in the PRESENT TENSEThe helpful website, gotquestions.org, has over 10,000 answers to frequently asked Bible questions, such as this one: "Do Christians have to obey the Old Testament law?"

And these godly instructions line up beautifully with the Ten Commandments.
