1 | OT Laws - still apply today? | Lev 20:9 | reilly1041 | 85658 | ||
I have read very little of the OT, I am relatively new to Bible reading, so my confusion will shine through! My question is -- what is the application, if any, of the OT laws listed in Leviticus, such as 20:9, to we Christians today. (I just chose this one as an example, could have chosen others.) Jesus came to "fulfill the OT Law" - does that mean that these rules do not apply to us? But the Ten Commandments do? Is it because we are Gentiles, and the Law was not given to Gentiles? If that is the answer, does the Law still apply to Messianic Jews (who I assume are Jews who believe in Christ's divinity, incarnation, resurrection)? I know that Paul said that no man can completely follow the Law, are we supposed to still be trying? Thanks for your help!! reilly |

Another way to look at it would be to say that if none of the OT Law applied to us then it would be OK to: 1. Resurrect the worship of Baal, 2. Make an image of Jesus and bow before it, 3. Be a slick televangelist, 4. Work seven days a week, 5. Not help our elderly parents, 6. Vote pro-choice, 7. Have a mistress or two, 8. Cheat on our taxes, 9. Slander people we don't like, 10. And always complain because "the Jones" have more than we do. |
