Do we still have to abide by the Law of Moses?

Law of Moses? Wasn't it God who gave them? Therefore those "laws" are God's. Not Moses'. Moses was just the channel.

Well, there are cases of OT law we observe, and need to observe. We cannot commit adultery, murder etc. I think we need to take OT laws as paradigm... and it's difficult to spell out exactly which ones to take and which not without developing the theology.

hi! Jesus said we had to do better than that! If we're angry in our heart we commit murder.. etc.. Not just enough to not commit adultery, but don't even think of others.. the law couldn't accomplish that in man's heart (mankind) but as christians, we know that the spirit of God within can.. I like to think of it this way, that I have (now) one rule. To love God. B'cause then I will draw close to him.. will seek him and follow after him (all through Jesus, of course, and our being declared fully righteous in that way). For I know that all goodness comes only from God. Even Jesus said, when someone called him "good master" - "no one is good, but God" luke 18:19. So to draw near to God is what saves us and is also what transforms us (slowly more and more into the image of his son, 2 corinthians 3:18).. He fills us with himself. If I love God, I will love my fellow person, truly and deeply.. and "love does no wrong" romans 13:10... "love is the fulfilling of all the law and the prophets" matthew 22:37-40

There are some laws of Moses that we still adbide by such as the Ten Commandments. But there are others that we don't really need to as Christians such as the restrictions on food and style of dress.

hey all~ i have always understood it that since Christ fullfilled the requirements set forth by the laws of moses....we are no longer bound by them! ~j

I fully agree with the responses above. Jesus fulfilled the law and yes if we love God first and our fellow man as ourselves then the other laws fall into place automatically.
