Bible Question:
I was reading a note written by our dear Brother Hank, who now is with the Father the Son and Holy Spirit. Hank wrote this back in 2001, so his wisdon continues on. Hank suggested the person read Titus 3:9. Hank was in a dialogue about the LAW. Recent there has been some dialogue abouth this very subject. It pains me that those who believe the keeping of the LAW are so adamant that those who do not believe the way they do, are or as I understand their dialogue, not true believers. My question is keeping the LAW not more than just keeping the Ten Commandments? I believe there are many more rules besides the Ten Comandments, is this not so? I think Hebrews 6:4-6 addresses this, am I correct in this understanding of these verses. I know these are a good number of questions. I am seeking to see if my understanding of the above questions is correct or am I in error. Thank you for you time to answer my questions. justme |
Bible Answer: Greetings, When one mentions the law with regards to the Bible, few fail to notice that the Law of the Old Testament was broken up into parts known as, Codex number one, Codex number two and Codex number three. The proceeding covered all of the areas of the following and it is all considered the Law. Moral code, Social code and the Ceremonial code. Excerpts from (bible.com) The Law of Moses Given to Israel The Mosaic Law is what we are most concerned about in relation to the New Testament believer. This consisted of 365 negative commands and 248 positive for a total of 613 commands. These may also be divided into three parts or sections (see below)—the moral, the social, and the ceremonial. As such, it covered every possible area of the life of Israel. It should be stressed that the moral principles embodied in the Mosaic Law given at Sinai were merely the codified expression of the eternal moral law of God as it was given to Israel to govern her life as a nation in order to experience God’s blessing under the Abrahamic covenant.
