Veggie View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 29 Mar, 2012 09:04 AM I don't understand. There is but one set of commandments, the law, the ten commandments. What are you referring to. Are you referring to the ceremonial law and ordinances? Post Reply
Veggie View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 29 Mar, 2012 09:45 AM After reading other comments that I did not see before, I think I understand your question. The 10 Commandments is a must keep for God's true people, every last one of them. They were written with the finger of God in stone, and placed in the most holy part of the most holy place, inside the ark of the covenant. On the other hand, the Ceremonial Law was handwritten by Moses with ink on parchment paper because they were to be done away with when Jesus came to die for us. "Blotting out the handwritting of the ordinances that was againt us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross".Col. 2:14. However, these only included the ceremonial things that pointed us to the future purpose and work of Christ. For example, we no longer need to sacrifice animals because Christ died for us and his sacrifice is sufficient. We do need to keep the sanitary and dietary laws to keep us healthy. You can't blot out words written in stone, you can only blot out ink because it was written with ink This blotting out also mean feast days, special Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and the like but not the weekly Sabbath. The sabbaths in the feast days could fall on other day of the week except the seventh day. The seventh day of worship was given at creation not at Mount Sinai. At Mt. Sinai, they were reminded to remember it, written that way with the finger of God. All the ceremonial laws, pointed to Christ's sacrifice. The type or shadow was to meet antitype and substance, which was done at the cross. To better understand this sentence; consider the sunshining on you in a way to cause a shadow. The shadow, a concealed representative, is the type but your body, a revealed representative, is the substance. Again, the ceremonial law of sacrifice is the shadow, representative or type, and Jesus is the body or the antitype, the true. God made this clear when the bible explain that when Christ was crucified, the veil in the temple was ripped from top to bottom indicating that it was ripped by God because the sacrificial services were no longer needed. If man had ripped it, it would have been ripped from bottom to top because men don't fly :) The OT is Christ concealed in types and shadows, while the NT is Christ revealed as the antitype and substance, the true.

Posted : 29 Mar, 2012 10:00 AM Oops, just want to clear up that when I left a work out in the comment before that ceremonial days could not fall on the seventh day but when they did they were known as high days. They only made the seventh day even more special. But the statement looks as if I was saying that these days could not be on the same day. they could have been and were for John 19:31 says "for that sabbath day was an high day". Post Reply
