Eph 2:15-16 (A) What does it mean that Jesus abolished in His flesh the law of commandments?
This means that by Christ's death the old covenant law was abolished (CP Ro 10:4, 2Cor 3:6-15; Col 2:14-17; He 7:12, 18-25, 8:6-13, 9:11-15).
We see from these scriptures that the entire old covenant law was abolished by Christ's death, not just the ceremonial law, as many believe.
They do not understand that the old covenant law was for Israel only, whereas the new covenant is for all people (CP Ex 31:12-18 and Eze 20:9-13 with Hos 2:23; Ro 2:14; 9:22-26, 30-33).
