Bible Note: Thank You, Cheri, I appreciate that you took time out of your schedule at work to send your thoughts. (that was very thoughtful of you :o) I also want to thank you for the link for the Torah Class mp3 studies, I listen everyday, and enjoy it very much. Praise God. I do believe this couple's sin goes back, as all sin does, to the beginning, concerning lust and pride. They were covetous of worldly wealth, and distrustful of God's providence. So in their attempt to serve God and mammon, they attempted to deceive the apostles. Trying to shortchange God, they shortchanged their very souls. My question, Cheri, had to do with why did the Blood of Christ not cover their sin? This was proposed to me by a brother who has been saved about 30 years before I. And though we were acquaintances, he (still) belongs to a church that does not accept the Word of God as the final authority for his life. So, his question, in trying to belittle the inspired Word of God deserves the best answer that the Spirit will lead me to. The convo was actually about how there is no remission of sin w/out the shedding of blood. In the OT, it was the blood of animals. In the NT, the blood of Christ put an end to the necessity of animals blood. I believe that Jesus had the final 3 words to say towards the salvation of mankind when He said, "It is finished." and the temple veil proved it. Thank you once more, in listening to the Torah Class just today, I heard the explanation of the difference between the New Testament and the New Covenant. As Tom Bradford puts it, the New Covenant was explained in the OT, and it is testified of in the New Testament. Shalom, keliy |
