Abrogation of Old Covenant laws
Christian theological debate / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Christianity, the abrogation of Old Covenant laws is the belief that the entire Mosaic or Old Covenant as abrogated in that all of the Mosaic Laws are set aside for the Law of Christ. While most Christian theology reflects the view that at least some Mosaic Laws have been set aside under the New Covenant, the belief in total abrogation of the Old Covenant is a minority belief.
Individuals who believe that Old Covenant laws have been completely abrogated are referred to as antinomians by various Christian traditions, such as the Methodist faith, which teaches that the moral law continues to be binding on the faithful.[1][2]
