law-02 (Pre-Sinai Moral Law)¶

Moral law preceded Sinai -- Gen 26:5 uses torah, mitsvah, chuqqah, mishmereth for Abraham's obedience. Rom 5:12-14 requires law before Sinai for sin to exist.

law-04 (Ceremonial Laws)¶

Ceremonial laws differ from moral law in vocabulary (dogma vs. entole), purpose (typological vs. moral), duration markers, and NT treatment. Colossians 2:14 targets dogma (ordinances), not entole (commandments).

law-08 (What Was Abolished at the Cross)¶

The NT uses dogma/cheirographon for what was nailed to the cross, never nomos/entole. The abolished items are the ceremonial handwriting of ordinances, not the moral commandments.

law-09 (Old Covenant)¶

The old covenant was an arrangement/administration that changed, not the law content. The law itself was written on hearts under the new covenant.

law-10 (New Covenant and Law)¶

law-11 (Written on Hearts)¶

The berith-Decalogue equation: "my law" = the Decalogue specifically, based on the covenant-law identity established in Deuteronomy and carried through Jeremiah to Hebrews.

law-12 (Matthew 5:17-20)¶

Kataluo (G2647) means demolish/annul in all 17 NT uses. Pleroo (G4137) means fill full with meaning. Jesus's programmatic statement excludes abrogation of the law. The antitheses (Mat 5:21-48) deepen the commandments rather than replacing them. 21 E-items (14 Continues, 0 Abolished).
