1 | why don't people study the old testmant | OT general | ischus | 115325 | ||
SUEDE, You post a fair question. I respect your Preteristic view, and I'm sure that you are aware of the other views, so I won't discuss them with you. To get to the point, I have already stated that the Law was given as a revelation of God's nature, and that those principles apply to us today. I have also stated that the Law was also, on a different level, a very civil-social-cultural law that was meant for the Hebrews/Israelites/Jews to follow, since God was their Suzerain, and they were the vassals. The sacrificial component of the Law was fulfilled in Jesus, so it was no longer valid. The same can be said of the social-cultural aspects as well. However, it was obviously fine with God that they continue in these systems (excluding sacrifices for atonement) since it was central to who they were as a people and a culture. They were no longer bound to the written code, but were still required to follow its principles (as are we). Paul demonstrates this by following the Law when with the Jews, but not following it while with the Gentiles. ischus |

Ischus, Romans 14 expands on Paul's view of feast days and other Levitical legal remants (good cross refernces in Colossians and Ephesians). Colin |

Thanks, Colin. I know the verses are there somewhere, it's just that when I'm in the moment its hard to stop writing and look them up. :) I really should do a better job of that. Thanks, for the Romans 14, and the others as well! ischus |
