Question:  Is the “Covenant” made up of two parts: “the Law of the Lord” and “the Ceremonial Law”?

 

Here are some misunderstandings about what the Bible teaches on this subject that I characterize as “errors”.

ERROR   The law of the Lord and the law of sac­rifice were different laws.

      BIBLE:   Luke 2: 24: “And to offer a sacrifice accord­ing to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons. "

 

 

OBSERVE:

This scripture put the offering of turtle­dove and pigeons "in the law of the Lord"!

This mighty "hammer" (Jeremiah 23:29) . "breaks" down the much-boasted "wall of partition." be­tween a "moral" and a "ceremonial"

            laws.

Dare any man "put asunder" what God has joined together! -Matt. 19:6.

 

ERROR   The Ten Commandments were not “the ‘Old’ covenant” given exclusively to the Hebrew nation through Moses.

      Bible:  Deuteronomy 4: 13: "And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to per­form, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone."

 

ERROR   The Ten Commandment law" was kept by

      Adam and Eve in the garden.

Bible. Exodus 20: 12: "Honour thy father and thy mother. "

 

QUERY:

     How could Adam and Eve honor their mother?

 

 

ERROR. God made this covenant with Abraham and

      the fathers before Israel's day.

      Bible.  Deuteronomy 5: 2, 3: "The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. "

 

 

ERROR    This covenant was between God and the whole world.

 

      Bible.   Deuteronomy 5: I: "Hear, 0 Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day."

 

 

ERROR   The law made everything perfect.

       Bible.  Hebrews 7:19    “For the law made nothing per­fect, but the bringing in of a better hope did."

 

NOTE:

      The Ten Commandments did not forbid every evil.

 

They do not forbid HATE.

They do not forbid LUST.

They deal principally with ACTS.

 

 

ERROR   The glory of the Ten Commandments was never to he done away.

      Bible.  2 Corinthians 3: 7, 8: But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministra­tion of the spirit be rather glorious?"

 

 

ERROR   The covenant engraven in stones was never abolished.

      Bible. 2 Cor. 3: 13:   And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Is­rael could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished."

 

 

ERROR   Not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law under any condition.

      Bible. Matthew 5: 18: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

 

"TILL ALL BE FULFILLED"

Christ came to “fulfill” -Matthew 5:17.

He came to fulfill all righteousness­     Matthew 3:15.

He nailed the law to His cross.  - Colossians 2:14. He declared, "It is finished"-John 19: 30.
