What laws of Moses did the Apostles alter? What laws did Jesus alter? Which were altered after the Apostles?

a - The Apostles of Jesus did not alter a single one of the laws of Moses.

b - Jesus did not alter a single law either. In fact, he declared himself to have come to fulfill and confirm every single Torah

law to the letter, and to warn that we all do the same. That's in Matthew 5:17-19.

c - Almost everything was altered by Paul about 30 years after Jesus' death.

d - The death of Jesus did not eliminate any kind of law. Jesus died in the year 30 ACE, and the sacrifices ceased to be performed only after the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 ACE.

Jesus fulfilled the law. All of it. You are to obey what Jesus taught the disciples and apostles and what the apostles taught because God inspired them. The Law of Moses, all of it, was written for our edification and as a law to the ungodly. Read 1 Timothy 1:9 "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man..."

You are either under the law, all of it, or you are under the Grace of God. You can't have it both ways. And, if you obey the 10 Commandments, you are under ALL of the 600 odd some laws and punishments.

I would rather be under Grace. Don't worry, God will not direct you to break a law. If you do break one or more, that is where the Grace of God comes in, with a repentant heart/spirit, God forgives.

This would take more space than we get. Peter amended the dietary laws, circumcision, hosting Gentiles, Saturday Sabbath. These are described in the Book of Acts.

Jesus didn't change the law, but He added a higher law. He made a sin of the heart and mind equal to a committed sin.

After the scriptures were finished various churches changed laws like polygamy, celibacy, penance, and so forth.

I would say all the moral laws remain unchanged, but the ceremonial ones are not needed. The 10 Commandments would still apply.

Moses circled Mt. Sinia for 40 years to rid the tribe of men of war! Enough said!

The New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament.

Exactly who first communicated each change of law I don't know - Jesus presumably told His apostle's a lot more than is recorded in the gospels...

The crucifixion and the law upgraded: The Christ called His whole path of suffering a baptism. Lk 12:49-53, Mk 10:38-39. As He predicted He spent 3 days and 3 nights in the 'heart of the earth'... It was an unusual 3 days, with a peculiar meaning to being in the heart of the earth - it was Jesus' way of talking about the penalty He was subjected to endure... On a friday morning He was taken to be crucified, then from noon - the sixth hour - there was a supernatural night of about three hours until the Christ died at the ninth hour. Then the sunlight returned - one day had passed. And then there was a new day - a seventh day according to the law - that lasted three hours until evening, and he was entombed, and a usual twelve hour night followed. And finally, a third day and a night passed before He left the tomb...

We may note here that this seventh day occurred within the duration of a sixth day - a working day during which Jesus worked through the night and entered rest at the dawn of a supernatural seventh day which was still in the working sixth day proving himself to be the complete Lord of the sabbath rest thereby completing and overcoming the 7x24 hour cycle of the fourth commandment - the sabbath precept - So that it is fulfilled with the command to 'Work generously and rest in co-operation with your neighbours'. - The first three of Moses' ten commandments concerning God, demand that you love God with all your strength, soul, and heart - in that priority order - which keeps the greatest commandment of the law ( Ex 20:1-17, Mk 12:30-31) - The law of Moses summarised in ten commandments stands today with adjustments to fulfil each precept. The second greatest commandment, to 'love your neighbour as yourself' requires keeping the seven remaining commands of the ten commandments; The fifth command to 'Give due honour to God and man', the sixth command 'do not murder' has become 'Do not get angry with human anger (even when justly offended-saddened) - but wait for God's forgiveness or slow coming anger', the seventh command not to commit adultery is 'Do not lust sexually and don't divorce except for case of adultery', the eighth command 'do no steal' is 'Be productive with your hands', the ninth command 'do not lie' is 'Show forth what truth you know', and - the tenth commmand 'don't covet', is fulfilled by 'Be content - Sell excess possessions to meet needs of the poor and under-privileged'

In Mt 19:17-21 - Jesus names five precepts which cover commandments 5,6,7,8,9 and adds 'love your neighbour as your self' to cover 4 and 10 - and these He says will be enough allow entry into eonian life - this omits the first three precepts regarding love for God which demonstrates that loving the creation as yourself is enough to reap life eonian - in this case God is being loved through the creation - the first three commandments are being kept by means of keeping the seven lower order precepts... However, Jesus goes on to show how one can become perfect... Regarding the first three remaining of the ten commandments that relate to God, Jesus says to the man that to be perfect he must 'follow Jesus', which implies that Jesus was, at that time, an essential revelation of God to the man he was speaking to. And He also adds 'sell your possessions and give to the poor' which goes beyond keeping the tenth precept to fulfil it since the man had a lot of material wealth to give to meet the needs of the poor. We who are able should seek to fulfil (not merely keep) precepts 1,2 & 3 in order to be perfect - this means fulfilling the command to love God with all our strength, soul and heart - which means our whole spirit, soul and body.

The New Covenant fulfils the Old Covenant law, which is an old school master, a dead husband, a shadow of the truth. The law has been reduced in its written size, summarised in the two main commandments and is now spelt out in stronger moral terms where the laws of the Levites and the priesthood are replaced by a new High Priest in the order of Melchizedek Who's ritual and temple are in the heavens and the sacrifices are replaced by the sacrifice of God's Son and similar self-sacrifice of his brothers in the kingdom. The law said that putting yourself into debt was unwise which the law of love upholds also but says we must consider ourselves always in debt to all - the debt of love. The law said don't become surity for a stranger Christians also should prefer freedom to slavery and pay off all debts except the continuing outstanding debt to love. So Christians should not take out mortagages or use credit cards etc. Yet the words of Jesus challenge us to the belief that we can, like the good Samaritan, promise money to others for certain future times based on the trust in God that we know we will have it available at that time. If we try this sort of thing without true faith however we are sinning - taking a risk - faith is not a risk. The laws about tithing have been replaced by the injunction to sell superfluous possessions and give to the Church's apostles and leaders and the poor, and the laws concerning healing are upgraded with prayer, impartation, laying on of hands and fasting. Laws about things to consider unclean are replaced by strength and purity of conscience and motive in spirit and through soul and body. The law about unclean foods was to cater to the weak consciences of Israel - people who would bauk at killing a creature as intelligent as a horse but would readily accept that God allows them to kill and eat cows. The law had to uphold the word to Noah that man was allowed to kill animals for food and yet keep Israelites from wounding weak consciences. (For instance it would seem unkind to a weak conscience to boil a kid in its mother's milk.) In a different way, a weak conscience might consider it kind and correct to divorce a woman for grounds other than adultery. - Other sundry laws are replaced by the moral teaching of the Christ and His apostles. Various moral laws still apply with little or no upgrading.
