Was YHWH's Law Nailed to the Cross?
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
INDEX:
INTRODUCTION:
Two common claims made by members of the modern Christian faith are:
"The Law has been done away with and we are now saved by grace."
and
"The Law was nailed to the cross when the Messiah was crucified."
I am going to attempt to explain these terms and show that the Law is still valid and binding on everyone in the world.
NOTES:
Historically, only two objects were nailed to the stake of crucifixion:
the condemned person and
an inscription naming the crimes for which he was being punished.

Paul is saying here that the TeNaKh is still relevant.
Paul makes a distinction between what is WRITTEN in the law.
