I've been having a rather interesting and stimulating discussion with Kalos and a few others about the applicability of the OT to us as modern christians. I've been using this Book of Hebrews and its discussion on this superiority in contrast to the OT as one of my main supports. Although I have tremendous respect and love for the OT, it all boils down (at least to me) to the fact that there is currently no applicable authority in the OT as it applies to our modern form of worship, God's plan of salvation through His Son or the actual mechanics of running and organizing the church in this dispensation. Thus I've been saying (and have received much flak for it) that the OT is obsolete with its emphasis on the sacrifices of animals, the Levitical Priesthood, allowing men an easy out for divorce, and allowing a man to lust for a women as long as he doesn't commit adultery. This indicates just how spiritually immature mankind was in that dispensation and thus why the OT should be considered obsolete. Again, I wish to emphsize the tremendous value we have in the OT. It shows us like no other resource the tremendous love and patience our God has for all of us mankind. The OT shows the tremendous lengths and great strides our Lord went through to try to get to His children (Jews). This reflects the fact that He really wants to get through to us but NOW He chooses to do so through His Son. I guess my main point is that God wants to give His Son ALL the prominence in this dispensation and thus had the OT nailed to the cross when Jesus was crucified. That's why we as God's obedient children must give Christ the preiminence by worshiping Him on Sunday, the first day of the week and NOT any other day like the Sabbath. Although it's a tough thing for some people to do, in my opinion we should learn to give up our love affair with the OT and put its AUTHORITY on a shelf and move on with modern christianity as described in the NT. What do think about this subject? Blessings to you. Country Girl |

"no applicable authority in the OT as it applies to ... God's plan of salvation through His Son"? Jerusalem Road The path to salvation 1) Isaiah 59:2a (ESV) but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, 2) Psalm 14:3b (ESV) there is none who does good, not even one. 3) Isaiah 64:6b (ESV) and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment ("filthy rags" KJV). 4) Proverbs 14:12 (ESV) There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. 5) Leviticus 17:11c (KJV) for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 6) Isaiah 53:6 (ESV) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him (Messiah) the iniquity (sin) of us all. 7) Joel 2:32a (ESV) ...everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. ______________________ (www.beitbresheet.com) |

The true authority in this dispensation as blessed by God Himself was given to His Son as stated in Matt 28:18. Thus, the whole NT is epitimized with the Supreme Perfect Example and High Priest of our Lord. Only His Words and those of His appointed representatives should be heeded, and NOT those of the OT prophets including Moses himself. Don't get me wrong, those men in the OT were good men. They tried their best but they didn't have 3 and half years of living and being with the Savior like the Apostles did. Those OT prophets didn't have the benefit and full empowerment of the Holy Spirit with Its Gift of Salvation in Its Full and Powerful measure. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
