Bible Question: Say we say He is fulfillment of the Torah, because it was incomplete. But the Torah/OT is still needed, tho the OT sacrifices have been replaced by His sacrifice (Heb 9-10)? |
Bible Answer: Hi Searcher, I'm sure that you know that of the 5 major sacrifices only 2 had to do with sins. And God did provide Himself a Lamb for Passover and Yom Kippur sacrifices (though I believe we should still observe the days). My main problem (and I would imagine many other people's) is the use of the terms "forever," "continual," "perpetual" in these verses (and there are other verses, these I just happened to have read over the weekend). Lev 23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. ev 23:41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Lev 24:3 Without the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute forever in your generations. Lev 24:9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute. Cheri |
