Which Old Testament Laws Are Still Binding on Christians? | Sam Shamoun

Which Old Testament laws are still binding on Christians—and how can believers distinguish between commandments that continue under the New Covenant and those fulfilled or set aside in Christ? In this detailed Bible study, Sam Shamoun challenges the simplistic claim that the entire Law of Moses has been abolished. Sam Shamoun explains that the Law of Christ supersedes and incorporates parts of the Mosaic Law. Using Acts 15, Exodus 20:12, and Ephesians 6:1–3, Sam Shamoun shows why Christians are no longer required to receive circumcision while commandments such as honoring your father and mother and biblical sexual ethics remain binding. The discussion then explores how many commandments later codified by Moses were already known before the Mosaic Covenant. Abraham and Jacob practiced tithing, Noah distinguished between clean and unclean animals and offered burnt offerings, Job presented sacrifices and interceded for others, and Judah recognized the levirate marriage obligation. These examples demonstrate continuity throughout the Old Testament while also revealing that God’s commands were applied differently across different covenants. Finally, Sam Shamoun examines the difficulties created by Sola Scriptura when the New Testament does not explicitly address every Old Testament commandment. The conversation considers the authority of the Church, the Council of Jerusalem, Christian moral reasoning, cousin marriage, religious freedom, proselytizing, and whether modern Christian apologists sometimes rely more on secular values than Scripture and Church history. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Has the Law of Moses been abolished? 2:21 Old Testament commandments still binding on Christians 3:14 Abraham, marriage laws, and changing commandments 4:03 Tithing and sacrifices existed before Moses 6:29 Clean and unclean animals before the Mosaic Law 7:17 Job’s sacrifices, intercession, and priestly mediation 10:17 The levirate law before Moses 12:04 How can Christians determine which laws still apply? 15:04 Biblical morality, cousin marriage, and modern arguments 17:08 Religious freedom, Christian history, and biblical principles 20:08 Applying biblical principles to modern situations ⚠️ Important Disclaimer I am not Sam Shamoun.
