from someone:
The Bible clearly teaches in many places that a Christian is not
under the law of Moses. Those who insist that we are under the law
of Moses mistakenly claim that without the law of Moses you give a
licenses to sin. What they dont realize is that just because
Christians are not under the law of Moses doesnt mean they are
without divine law. Think about it for a moment, people from Adam
to Moses were without the law of Moses, yet God gave them commands
to follow as previously shown above. Some of the laws given to
those from Adam to Moses were similar to those given in the Mosaic
law, such as murder. Yet others were complete opposites such as the
eating of clean and unclean animals. There were two different laws
to govern two different groups of people. The same is true today,
Christians are not under the law of Moses, they are under the law
of Christ which is love. Therefore the divine law for Christians is
the law of love. If we love God as we should then we would never
sin against Him. If we love our neighbors and enemies as we should
then we would never sin against them. The law of love is far
superior to the law of Moses. The law of Moses was an external list
of 613 dos and dont which one could be forced to follow to a
certain degree even if their heart was not in it. On the other hand
the law of love covers every conceivable sin one can commit and
those who obey do so from the heart because true love comes from
the heart. This is why love is the greatest law and fulfills the
law and the prophets. Christians do not commit murder, adultery,
lies etc. because it is against the law of love, not because it is
a violation of the Mosaic law. We obey righteousness because we are
under the law of Christ, not as incorrectly claimed by some that we
are under the law of Moses
