1 | what's the difference in these two | Matt 10:5 | Bill Mc | 12655 | ||
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. |

2 | Old T. and New T. | Matt 10:5 | wdc | 12699 | ||
Thanks again Bill. I would like to hear your opinion on how to reconcile the God of the O.T. with the God of the N.T. To many people, there appears to be two God's, one in the O.T. and one in the N.T. How would you explain this to someone. The main question I get is the one how God commanded all the killing in the O.T. and was so hard on the people and in the N.T. it is all about life and grace. Hope this makes sense. later...wdc |

wdc, God shows grace and killing in both. Grace in th OT (Exo 34:6, Psa 67:1, Isa 30:18) In the NT, read chapters Revelation to see the what will happen. The killing commanded by God is for specific people in the Bible. Steve |
