Johan,

EXACTLY! NCT posits that Christ brought in a "new law" which superseded the OT law, particularly the moral law as delivered at Sinai. They claim that only those laws which are "echoed" in the NT are binding upon Christians. Further, they teach that there is no mention of the Fourth Commandment in the NT and therefore it is no longer applicable; it belonged only to Israel. There are far more implications, of course, but this is the gist of it.

The point being, that since the pre-incarnate Christ was the Author of the Ten Commandments and that He delivered them to Moses, what the incarnate Christ taught on earth was identical. There is only one Lawgiver and one moral Law. Jesus further established this truth when He said that He only taught what the Father had given to Him, thus establishing the unanimity of the Godhead. (Jh 6:63; 8:26, 28; 8:38; 12:50; 14:10) The short of it is that there is only one moral law which God has delivered which is binding upon all men for all ages. It was the same person who put His law in the heart of Adam and all who followed him. It was the same person who iterated that law on Sinai. And it was the same person who taught this very same law when He walked on earth.
