Bible Question:
RoS, What do we do with the OT and the Law? You agreed that "we are in a new dispensation and are no longer under the law." Does that mean we don't have to obey the Law? If so, why do we need the Law recorded in our Bible? Cite Scripture. |
Bible Answer: OT written law was a gift given to Isreal that by "doing" they would not run afoul of the laws of sowing and reaping with increase found in Gen 1:11. All seeds must reproduce after there own kind, and since the fall of Adam we now have the ability to handle,sow and reap from seeds that have destructive consequences. Jesus fulfilled the requirements of law that required us to reap the harvest that is due for things done,harboured in heart or said (if we ask with a repentant heart). Jesus recieves the harmfull harvest and we recieve the good. OT law can now be a guide to help us to not sow seeds of harmfull content which is the whole point of repentance. Other parts of the law are a shadow of the type that is revealed in the NT. |
