Subject: why don't people study the old testmant |
Bible Note: Ok, let me try this again- I apologise for whatever mistakes I am making to not address your specific question here. 1)They sacrifice, but not for sins...AGREED 2)It was not necessary in Paul's mind, but they did it anyway...AGREED ??????????WHY?????????? ***Illustration*** Let's say you and I live in the US and a New president gets elected after Bush. His name is Jesus. In his primary and election race, he clearly stated that "the Laws in place are important for those who are living here and must be followed, but when I becomes president I am going to join our country with Iraq, and we will become one country. They will all be moving over here in the first week of my presidency, and we will be living under a new Law, but It's one in your heart. You know it- You follow it and know when you disobey it. I do not expect for you to follow the current Laws anymore at that time, but I do want you to always live by those principles. If you still want to follow the Laws that you live under now- that's great! They are good laws, and I love them. But remember that they were only meant for you, and the other people who will now be your fellow citizens are not used to this law, and I don't want any of you to say that they have to follow it to be "real" Americans (which, by the way, you will be called Ameri-Jesus people). You are used to your law because it is your tradition and culture, it is who you are! Don't leave it behind if it is too hard for you. I know how nuch it means to you, and I know that it just wouldn't seem right without it. But remember That some of the Laws are not needed anymore, likes the ones where you have to go to the white house and put a freshly baked cake on the steps of the white house. I am president now, and I have made the biggest, best cake, and it will be put in the front lawn as soon as I am president, so no one needs to do this, ok?" 3) Read the above illustration |
