Does grace make void the Ten Commandments?
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: [Does grace make void the "Ten Commandments"?]
Keeps God's law (but not all of the ordinances that the Jews added ). Mt 23:2–3 Put first things first (Mal 4:4, Mt 23:23).
Don't Blink

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that
observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not [Matt.
23:3].
"That is, do as the Scriptures teach, but don’t follow
the works of scribes and Pharisees because they are not following the Word of
God." Matthew 14-28..."
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and
not to leave the other undone [Matt. 23:23].
"They were very meticulous in tithing their little
plants which produce condiments like mint, anise, and cummin. For instance, when
I was a boy, my mother always grew a little patch of mint out in the backyard to
put in iced tea in the summertime. Can you imagine one of these religious rulers
measuring off a little patch of mint and taking a tenth of it to give to the
Lord? Oh, they were so strict about those little matters! But our Lord says,
“You have forgotten about the weightier matters of the law.” And those weightier
matters would have brought these men to the person of Christ." McGee, J. V.
