The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

FACT CHECK: The Fourth Commandment

• Exodus 20:8-11 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. For six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your resident who stays with you. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

• Matthew 12:8 "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
• Mark 2:27-28 Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord, even of the Sabbath."
• Luke 4:16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

… I am going to stop here. This NT support is not even CLOSE to presenting a command like the Fourth Commandment. It just proves that “Saturday” still existed and Jesus kept the 10 commandments like all practicing Jews. This comes as a surprise to no one.

Galatians 3:1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? 4 Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ 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 pole.” 14 He 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.

15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.

21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Jesus' Custom of Sabbath Observance: Luke 4:16 states, "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."

Resting on the Sabbath: In Luke 23:56 (KJV), after Jesus' crucifixion, it is noted of some of his followers, "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." This shows their continued observance of the Sabbath even during the period of mourning and uncertainty after Jesus' death.

Teaching and Healing on the Sabbath: Luke 13:10-17 recounts Jesus healing a woman on the Sabbath and defending his actions: "And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"

Synagogue Worship on the Sabbath: Acts 17:2 (KJV) describes Paul's practice of reasoning with the Jews in the synagogue on the Sabbath: "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures."

Disciples Observing the Sabbath: Acts 13:14, 42-44 mentions Paul and Barnabas attending the synagogue on the Sabbath in Antioch of Pisidia: "And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath."

Again Sabbath Observance in the Book of Acts: Acts 16:13 (KJV) mentions Paul and his companions observing the Sabbath in Philippi: "And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither."

Again Synagogue Worship on the Sabbath: Acts 17:2 (KJV) describes Paul's practice of reasoning with the Jews in the synagogue on the Sabbath: "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures."

In the light of these numerous verses it it clear that the sabbath was indeed observed, to say the contrary is against scripture.

The Ten Commandments were known and obeyed by God’s faithful people, presumably even before the Law was given at Sinai. Later incorporated into the new covenant, they constitute the basic moral code for humanity (as further explained by Jesus) and are obeyed to demonstrate the believer’s love for God and his fellow man.

There's no "presuming" about it.

Gods laws show His sterling character ... who He is and He never changes. His law is eternal and never changing because He is eternal and never changing.

The war (sin-transgression of the law) began in heaven with Lucifer and the 1/3 angels before God created everything to allow for mankind to exist and be sustained. God knew man would choose to listen to satan rather than God himself. Thus the plan of salvation for mankind was in place before creation because of God's foreknowledge.

The everlasting covenant is Gods eternal laws. At Sinai .... God renewed the everlasting covenant with the people of Israel and wrote His everlasting eternal law with His own finger on the tablets of stone (unchangeable)

The 10 is the "short list" so to speak .... what Jesus taught were more in-depth details regarding His eternal laws ... but everything He taught are in line with the 10.

OF COURSE JESUS OBSERVED THE SABBATH!!! Jesus observed all 613 laws PERFECTLY. That is what made HIM the sinless sacrifice.

• What about the OT verse that says you must keep THE WHOLE LAW?
• What about the NT verse that says if you fail on just one point, you stand guilty of the WHOLE LAW?
• What about Paul writing that only DEATH comes through the Law, but Life comes through Jesus Christ?
• What about where Jesus stated that the WHOLE of the Law hangs on (is fulfilled) in just TWO commands?

In short, why the CHERRY PICKING?
You make the Pharisees proud … straining gnats and swallowing camels with the best of them.

How did Jesus keep the menstruating laws- please provide scripture references. Jesus never taught on 613 laws- please provide references for the 613 laws Jesus kept and taught. Jesus is the Mediator of the New Covenant- He taught new Covenant laws that are written in the heart Heb 8:10 which His covenant was ratified by His blood.

The only law God gave a number are the Ten Commandments Exo 34:28 Deut 4:13 written by the finger and the Authority of God Exo 32:16 and Jesus taught us not to break the least of these Mat 5:19-30 Jesus kept the Ten Commandments including the Sabbath as our example to follow 1 John 2:6. The teaching we are not to follow what Jesus taught or how He lived is not a teaching coming from Christ. We need the faith in Jesus and the faith of Jesus Rev 14:12 how did Jesus live, what did He teach. That is how we are to live. Mat 4:4 Heb 4:15 1 Peter 2:21-22 1 John 2:6

Hebrews 4:15

Now it is your turn to provide the scripture that says Jesus violated the menstruating laws.
Those really are the only two options, right. You obeyed the Law or you violated the law.

James 2:10 [NKJV]
For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

Yes and which law is James only quoting and contrasting. Not sure how this supports your argument.

The part where it says “He was without sin”. Being without sin means (by definition) that Jesus violated NO LAWS. If Jesus violated any law, that would be a sin and we are still damned (sacrifice was invalid).

Did you read James 2:10? It says that it doesn’t matter which law you violate … it is an ALL OR NOTHING deal. (So good luck, you gonna need it.)

There are two sets of laws, one that defines sin one that was added because of sin.

Your statement said that Jesus kept 613 laws, and you have not even proven one of those laws yet. Jesus was without sin, but show where Jesus kept the laws that was added because of sin, which by people who use the 613 law theory you have 603 more laws to go . So prove it through scripture.

Let’s quote James…

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

Which law is James only quoting and contrasting? Where do we find “do not commit adultery” and “do not murder”. Who is the He who said?

The He who said is God- no Greater Authority and you can only find these laws in the Ten Commandments Exodus 20- breaking one is like breaking them all, and why Jesus taught not to break or teach others to break the least of these commandments quoting from the same law because in doing so one would be in fear of sin and Judgement Mat 5:19-30 and by keeping our rules over obeying God's commandments ones heart if far from God Mat 15:3-14 which is the opposite of the New Covenant- God's law written by God in our hearts Heb 8:10. So lets not rebel against God Rom 8:7-8, by not keeping what He placed there.

Why don't you provide the scripture so we can analyst to see if Jesus kept the menstruating laws you claim He kept. I'm not sure if you realized this yet, but it would be impossible for Jesus to keep this law because He is not female.

Amen to your exegesis. Man, you did some good work on comparing the OT with the NT. In early June of this year, I found out that Jesus himself spoke six of the 10 commandments in Matthew 19:17-19.

Jesus taught the 10 Commandments. I never knew this. Matthew 19:17-19 (KJV): “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. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Just FYI …

Leviticus 19:18 'You shall not take vengeance, nor hold any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.

Jesus point was that the WHOLE LAW counted, not just the 10 bullet points written on two stone tablets.

The “Greatest Commandment” was also not found in the ‘10 Commandments’ …

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Amen to this. Even Jesus said these words. Mark connects with Leviticus 19:18 and Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

Mark 12:30-31 (NKJV): "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."
