1 | what's the difference in these two | Matt 10:5 | wdc | 12587 | ||
I have been taught in the past that not all scripture is to be interpreted as for us today. Matthew 10:5-15 is one of those passages that is not supposed to be for us today, however v.16 is often applied to us as we go about our daily lives. The reasoning given for not applying this literally to us today is that Jesus was speaking directly to the people there with Him, v.5 and not in general. My question is why then is Matthew 28:18-20 applied literally to us today as the great commission. Jesus was only speaking to those there with Him v. 18 "And Jesus came and spoke to them..." and not generally. I am told that the phrase in v. 20 "And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." makes this passage applicable to us today, but the word "age" could mean their age and not ours. Does anyone have any input on this? later...wdc |

Yes, ALL scripture is true. But, my friend, would you take an animal sacrifice to your church for offering next Sunday? Why not? Animal sacrifice was COMMANDED in the Old Testament, was it not? Will you attempt to track down the Levitical priesthood and offer them your tithe? Shall we check men at the church doors to make sure they are circumcised? (It'd give a whole new meaning to our greeters, wouldn't it?) Agreed, ALL Scripture is true and is profitable but not ALL Scripture is directly APPLICABLE to us as believers. Should we build an ark because Noah did? Has God promised to each believer to make a nation from him/her so that the Messiah can be born? Has God instructed us to build temples like Solomon? Shall we each go to Israel and take the land? We MUST properly discern the Word of God. The New Testament tells us to boldly come before the throne and we'll find mercy and help in our time of need. We can enter, because of Christ's sacrifice, the very presence of God and His presence has entered us. Old Testament believers seldom could. How many Israelites can you name that walked right into the Holy of Holies? How many Gentiles? God has brought in a new covenant at Christ's death and it has forever changed the way we approach God and how He can now live IN us. To not recognize this truth keeps us in bondage to the Law. He whom the Son of God sets free is free indeed. |

unless you are completely ingorant of the scriptures, I was responding to commands of(God the Son) Jesus, not God the Father. All of the pasages that you mentioned are taken out of context. And anyone with any common sence would know that we don't do any of the questions that you asked. Because Jesus was the final sacrafice an the completer of the Abrhamic covenant. | ||||||
