Why do some false teachers teach that the OC law applies to Christians?

I guess they just can't understand that you cannot be held to the conditions of a covenant they were not a party to, and a covenant that ended. I guess they prefer the ministration of death and condemnation instead of the new covenant ministration of life.Why do some false teachers teach that the OC law applies to Christians?
';They'; are still 'blind' and don't 'see' just as Jesus said to the 'pharisees'!!Why do some false teachers teach that the OC law applies to Christians?
Here's a guess, though this is just my opinion.


Jesus begins a new covenant, and He specifically counters some of the traditions that were maintained in the old covenant...


IE: ';Turn the other cheek'; instead of ';An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth';, and ';What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what proceeds out of his mouth'; instead of a restricted (kosher) diet.


He also maintains some of the standards from the first covenant...


IE: The Ten Commandments, the scriptures of the Old Testament - which He reads from in the synagogues on Sabbath Days.


The first covenant contains a very detailed description of how a devout follower of God should live his/her life. Jesus brings a new covenant which changes some of these standards, but maintains others. He does not cover every aspect of the old covenant, so we are left without specific instruction where some of the old covenant practices are concerned.


In many ways, this issue has created the many denominations of Christianity.


Again, this is only my opinion.
remember Jesus did not come to do away with the O.T. law, he came to fulfill it.


after all authority was given however he changed a few of the Unclean beasts rules. with the vision to peter. in acts 10





ONe must also remember the New testament bible was not formed until after 300 ad. which means the sole source of the letters and epistles of peter james and john and Paul were the old testament.


Jesus did condemn the fables and the Leaven of the pharisees, which proves that false prophets and false high priests and pharisees make up their own doctrines and are NOT to be considered the commandments of God.
Matthew 5:17-18





17';Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.


18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Jesus fulfilled the law.


Romans 10:


4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.





Eph 2:


15by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
It's a pride thing.





It's like saying that I kept the Law, now God owes me.





It doesn't take into account that ';you are saved by grace, through faith. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast';.





';Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.'; (Rom 3:27-28 MKJV)





and





';Therefore I have boasting in Christ Jesus as to the things pertaining to God.'; (Rom 15:17 MKJV)





and finally,





';though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinks that he has reason to trust in the flesh, I more. I was circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews. As regards the Law, I was a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in the Law, blameless. But whatever things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. But no, rather, I also count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them to be dung, so that I may win Christ and be found in Him; not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but through the faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death; if by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.'; (Php 3:4-11 MKJV)
