Who was that man talking to? A Jewish Rabbi. Who was Jesus talking to? A Jewish man. That's why Jesus told the man to keep the laws he was under.
Jesus gave us two commandments. And if you keep those, Jesus said you have fulfilled 613 Jewish laws including the 10 that He sent Moses down the mountain with.
But you don't believe Him when He tells us exactly how to fulfill the law. HE EVEN QUOTES THE LAWS HE REPLACED!!! It's the very ten that you insist we put our selves under. They are the specific laws that His better covenant replaces!!!
Read it. Listen to what Jesus says you can do with your 10:
Romans 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.
What He replaced the 10+ with:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” – John 13:34
If Jesus can't convince you, neither can I...
"That's why Jesus told the man to keep the laws he was under."
You Irish,.... Pick & Choose from The Scriptures what pleases You, & Upholds Your Beliefs.
But You are not alone, for the Majority of the more than 30,000 different Sects of "Christianity" do the same.
"Jesus gave us two commandments."
Those "Two Commandments"
are the Ten Commandments Covenant "Boiled down in to It's finest essence. Look hard at them, & If You truly seek The Truth about the matter, then it shouldn't take more than a minute for you to see "The Light".:
Exo 20:1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exo 20:6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Exo 20:7 “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work,
Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
Exo 20:11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
Exo 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
Exo 20:13 “You shall not murder.
Exo 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 “You shall not steal.
Exo 20:16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Exo 20:17 “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.”
"And if you keep those,
Jesus said you have fulfilled 613 Jewish laws including the 10 that He sent Moses down the mountain with."
The Messiah,... Yahshuah HaMashiach,.... Never, Ever, stated anything about keeping the so called "613 Laws". You either are suffering from a Great Lack of Knowledge about The Scriptures, or,....You are a Liar.
"But you don't believe Him when He tells us exactly how to fulfill the law."
That is Your baseless Assumption, You know very little, if anything about me Irish.
"Read it. Listen to what Jesus says you can do with your 10:
Romans 13:8 "
Again, You are showing Your Lack of Knowledge of The Scriptures, ... Paul wrote that, It's not a quote from the Messiah.
"
They are the specific laws that His better covenant replaces!!!"
He absolutely did not state that He was replacing "His Covenant",.... In Fact, several End Times Prophecies, state that The "Covenant" will be permanently placed within the "Hearts/Minds" of those who Believe.
