Does Matthew 22:37 & 39 do away with the Ten Commandments?
|
|
Is Matthew 22:37 & 39 two (2) new commandments to do away with the Ten Commandments? The answer is NO. |
|
Matthew 22:37-38 |
37: |
The Messiah said unto him, Thou shalt love Yahweh thy Almighty with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. |
|
38: |
This is the first and great commandment. |
|
|
Notice that this covers the first four (4) commandments to do unto Yahweh. |
|
1. |
I am Yahweh your Almighty, Who has brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other deities before Me. |
|
|
2. |
You shall not make yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I Yahweh your Almighty am a jealous Almighty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments. |
|
|
3. |
You shall not make wrong use of the Name of Yahweh your Almighty; Yahweh will not leave unpunished the man who misuses His Name. |
|
|
4. |
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it set apart. Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: but the seventh day is a Sabbath of Yahweh your Almighty; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the stranger that is within your gates; 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 set it apart. |
|
Matthew 22:39 |
39: |
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |
|
|
Notice that this covers the last six (6) commandments to do with your fellow man. |
|
5. |
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your Almighty gives you. |
|
|
6. |
You shall not commit murder. |
|
|
7. |
You shall not commit adultery. |
|
|
8. |
You shall not steal. |
|
|
9. |
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. |
|
|
10. |
You shall not covet your neighbors house, you shall not covet your neighbors wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's. |
|
Matthew 22:40 |
40: |
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |
|
|
Notice all Ten Commandments come under these two. |
|
Mark 12:30-31 |
30: |
And Thou shalt love Yahweh thy Almighty with all thy Heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. |
|
31: |
And the second is like, namely this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. |
