QUESTION: Were the Ten Commandments reinstated under the New Testament?
ANSWER: No! Neither the “Ten Commandment Law,” nor any other “Law” was reinstated under the New Testament. The New Testament is a totally “new” law, having replaced totally the “old” law! It is true that the New Testament encompasses and includes the moral principles inherent in “nine” of the “ten” Commandments. However, these principles are applicable to Christians today because they are a part of the New Testament; not because they were a part of the Old Testament! It is very significant that the fourth of the Ten Commandments, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” is strikingly omitted from the New Testament!
