Teachings of Moshe??? Did he invent these teachings on his own? Or did Yahweh command him what to teach? Where does it say these "teachings" are obsolete?
:
: John 14:15 - spoken while the teaching of Moses was yet in effect. The teaching was the means by which Jesus was proven righteous, all others were proven sinners and subject to the curse; yet Jesus became a curse in place of sinners so that they might be reconciled to the Father through faith and not through works. Jesus fulfilled the law and set us free from any obligation to keep its terms; he introduced a new teaching based on faith in him, and not in the former teaching. The new teaching teaches us that if we believe in him we have everlasting life according to the grace of the Elohim Yahweh. Now the one who believes in Jesus does not practice sin; and neither does he try to please the Father by attempting to keep the terms of the obsolete teaching of Moses, which could not reconcile men to God.
