1 | Was the temple curtain repaired? | Heb 9:1 | DocTrinsograce | 152268 | ||
Hi, Prayon... That's an interesting idea. However, it is hard to imagine that the Jews would have allowed the veil to remain in disrepair. I suspect that they wouldn't have wanted it even known that anything untoward had occurred. Also, remember, that the tearing was a sign that the Shekinah Glory was no longer in the Holy of Holies. Now, in the New Covenant, the Shekinah dwells in the hearts of His saved elect (Ephesians 2). Thus, even if the veil were repaired, it would not seperate us from God. As a thought provoker, I like to ask believers, "If a person could go up to the Ark of the Covenant today and touch it, would he die?" The answer, of course, is "No." The Ark -- if it exists -- is just a box. That which sanctified it is no longer there! In Him, Doc |

Doc, I would have to disagree with you on that one. The ark of the covenant would cause a person to be cursed by God if they touched it, some even died! Check out 1 Samuel chapters 3 and 4 on what happened to the Philistines when they took the ark in battle. In particular notice what Phineas's wife says in 1 Samuel 3 vs. 21 and 22 about the glory departing Israel. Also, check out 2 Samuel 6 vs. 6 and 7, where someone actually died from touching the ark (even though God's glory had departed it). | ||||||

Hi, Songbird... First, 2 Samuel 6 records the moving of the Ark in a fashion contradictory to the command of the Lord. The Ark was only to be carried by the sons of Levi and only in an explicitly proscribed way. That was the source of God's anger. (One does not deal with the Lord on one's own terms!) Second, the glory of the Lord did not depart until the time of Ezekiel, well after the instance you mentioned with Uzzah. Third, the above events were centuries before the advent of our Lord Jesus. In Him, Doc |

Doc, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree! :) I believe the OT (the Torah, which Jesus cited many times during his time on earth) is just as relevant today. It makes no difference if these events happened centuries before Jesus. They are in the Bible to teach of something about God. Namely, His holiness. |

Dear Songbird, I guess we will disagree... and that won't trouble me... it strikes me as a minor issue. However, for you to assume that I hold dispensational or antinomian beliefs is presumptuous. I assure you that I am pretty vehemently neither! I would never say that any part of the Torah (which is, by the way, the first five books of the Old Testament), Nevi'im (the prophetic books of the Old Testament), or Ketuvim (the rest of the Old Testament books) are anything but the Word of God either more or less than I would affirm the writings traditional Christian canon of the New Testament. I am very strongly sola scriptura. Furthermore, I would never deny the doctrine of the holiness of God, nor any of its ramifications. It is clearly revealed in the Word. Okay? :-) In Him, Doc |

Doc, since I never "assumed" anything about you, please don't assume such about me. I never claimed any of the things you have stated. I was simply trying to point something out. | ||||||
