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 | Heb. 8 and Jer. 31 | Matt 10:5 | wdc | 12700 | ||
Bill, Here is another one. Hebrews 8:7-13.In verse 9, this is specifically given to Israel and Judah, (the Jews). In Jeremiah 31:31-34, where the writer of Hebrews is quoting from, the promise is specifically for the Jews also, and even more specific, if I understand it right, it will be enforced after their restoration to their own land, Jer. 31:23-30. But we use this as a picture of salvation in the New Testament, making it applicable to all people. Do you have any thoughts here. later...wdc |

wdc, Be careful If you use this as a picture of salvation in the New Testament, for those not of Israel and Judah. I see this as being for Israel and Judah only. There are other pictures of salvation in the New Testament that apply to all. Steve |
