Bible Note: Salutations Steve, Sorry, I didn't mean to duck your questions.....as I said, I was responding to Johnny who in essense said he wanted nothing to do with the old testament, if Jesus didn't specifically teach it he’s not buying it". My example of bestiality was just an example of how you can't expect every nuance of life to be addressed with specificity in the NT......your list of questions illustrates the same point. It’s a no brainer which is why I didn’t even bother to respond. I had to use an Old Testament law to disprove his point because he was bad mouthing the OT. But then you are looking for me to cite a specific OT law against your list.....I never said that the OT commands were all inclusive…..but a lot of people, like Johnny, think that the NT is. You can’t imagine how sorry I am that I opened my big mouth about bestiality, yikes! However, I can’t let your other comments slide….You said: “And that was my point about misunderstanding or misapplying God's will to which you said "There is no grace nor sacrifice for willful sin, including the blood of Y’shua." With all due respect, that is pure bunk. Read 1 John 1:8-2:2.” With all due respect, get your scissors, I personally prefer a single edged razor blade, and remove Heb 10:26 and 29 from your Bible…..it’s pure bunk. I Jn 1:8 and 2:2 are great but you have to reconcile them with IJn 3:6, 9 and IJn 5:16-18…..John is saying there is a sin, AMONG THE BROTHERS…..that would indicate a sin committed by a professed believer…. that leads to death (one of those listed below)…..it apparently is a sin which the blood of Y’shua doesn’t cover. There are a host of sins in the OT for which there was no sacrifice…..the offender was the dead meat….no grabbing an animal and heading for the Tabernacle….they include: Breaking commandments 1 and 2--Lev 20:2 Breaking the 3rd commandment--Lev 24:14-16 Breaking the 4th commandment—Ex 35:2; Nu 15:33-35 Breaking the 5th commandment—Dt 21:18:21; Ex 21:15, 17; Lev 20:9 Breaking the 6th commandment--Ge 9:5-6; Nu 35:16-21, 30-33; Dt 17:6 Breaking the 7th commandment—Lev 20:10; Dt 22:22 Consulting a medium or spiritist—Lev 20:27 Prophesying falsely or propagating false doctrines—Dt 13:6-10 False worship—Dt 17:2—8 Promiscuity—Dt 22:20-21; Lev 21:9 Incest—Lev 20:11-12, 14 Practicing homosexuality—Lev 20:13 Bestiality—Ex 22:19 Rape of a betrothed virgin--Dt 22:25 Kidnapping--Ex 21:16; Dt 24: Witchcraft--Ex 22:18 Offering human sacrifice--Lev 20:2-5 Sacrificing to false gods--Ex 22:20 Refusing to abide by the decision of the court--Dt 17:12 Anyway……if there was no blood atonement for the above under the Old Covenant sacrificial system, there can be no atonement with Y’shua’s blood once you have professed commitment to the New Covenant……which can’t be stated more clearly than in Heb 10:26,29. If you would like me to address Galations please give me specific passages to look at. Thanks Steve…………Bub |
