Bible Note: SUEDE "Things that were valid in the OT, the Law, aren't any longer." This is absolutely false. The Law, apart from its cultural components, is completely valid. Where do you think Jesus got his priciples from? Why did he say that Loving God and your neighbor are the foundations of the Law? I am not saying that we need to run away to a safe city when we kill someone on accident, or that we can take some food from the corners of a farmers field; I am saying that God's principles and His nature are represented in the OT in a very unique way, and the NT cannot be a sufficient substitute for this. The OT is not intended to give us information about the past, it God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. ischus |
