Bible Question: Why do we no longer abide by the leviticus laws? Why were they outlawed? |
Bible Answer: Hood Rat God imposed the Levitical laws upon Israel after their transgression with the golden calf. These laws were appended to the Moral Law (10 Commandments) as a kind of 2-fold penance, 1) To cleanse Israel of its idol worship through repeated sacrifice of the animal gods they’d worshipped in Egypt (cows, sheep, goats) and, 2)To keep the people "God Conscious". God made these laws impossible to fulfill so that Israel would be driven to seek God's divine mercy. The laws were meant to create a heart for God. But Israel quickly went off track with this Levitical system of animal sacrifice, and the rest is history, a beautiful history, thank God, culminating in Jesus Christ, through whom the old Covenant of Levitical works is replaced by a New Covenant of Grace through the ultimate sacrifice of God’s own blood in Jesus Christ. (Romans 3.19-26). “God gave us the Law so that we would see grace; and He gave us grace so that we would keep the Law.” St. Augustine. Colin |
