THE ADVENT TRUTH
Many are twisting Paul’s writings just like Peter warned (2 Peter 3:16). A TikTok teacher recently used Romans 2:27, Romans 7:6, 2 Corinthians 3:6, and Colossians 2:14 (especially where some translations say “written code”) to argue unbiblical claims about the Law of God.
Paul is not condemning God’s moral law—he’s contrasting two kinds of law: the moral law written by God on stone (Exodus 31:18; Deuteronomy 10:4) and the ceremonial law written by Moses in a book (Deuteronomy 31:24–26). The ceremonial law contained sacrifices, feast days, and rituals pointing to Christ’s coming; those shadows ended when Christ died. The moral law, however, reveals sin (Romans 7:7) and stands forever (Psalm 111:7-8).
Romans 2:27 shows that Gentiles who keep the law condemn Jews who break it—it upholds obedience, not the removal of the law. Romans 7:6 says we are “delivered from the law” as a means of salvation, not that the law itself is destroyed. Paul immediately clarifies, “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (v. 12).
In 2 Corinthians 3:6, Paul contrasts the letter that kills (rituals and self-righteous law-keeping) with the Spirit that gives life. The problem wasn’t the Ten Commandments—it was people trying to keep them without the Spirit’s power.
And in Colossians 2:14–17, the “handwriting of ordinances” refers to ceremonial laws “against us,” not God’s eternal Ten. The Greek cheirographon tois dogmasin literally means a written record of decrees—a reference to the book of Moses (see Deut 31:26).
Christ didn’t nail obedience to the cross—He nailed our record of sin and the ceremonial system that pointed to His sacrifice. The moral law still defines righteousness and sin. “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” (Romans 3:31).
