Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Doc: Very good questions !! But God ruled as a theocracy. Israel was subject to the civil laws of God. They did not have the power of the Holy Spirit as we do now. Israel was under God's government since they were the only nation following God. Now all the nations can follow God but these nations have their own civil governments. The sacrificial laws were abolished at the cross. The 10 comm. have and will stand forever. Gen. 26:5 shows that God's law existed prior to Sinai. The Sabbath was created prior to sin. The 7th day was sanctified and made holy. Saying the Sabbath was only for the Jews goes directly against Isaiah 56:4. In love, Merv |
