I'm sorry that our disagreement comes between you and learning. That however isn't what I picked up on. I see way more statements than questions. A student asks queations and makes few if any statements.
What I have seen of you here is the promotion of your position as fact. I asked you to study Jere 31:31-34 to which you neither much commented on or asked questions. Instead you moved to something else. You gave no retrun on my comments. How is this learning.
I do find arguing part of learning. Just not the most productive. By arguing do you mean saying something contrary to what you post?
Sorry to have overwhelmed you.
BTW you are very well spoken fr a disabled person.
There wasn't a huge amount of things to say about Jeremiah 31:31-34.....I read it and told you what I believe it says. I didn't realize I was supposed to write an essay on it. lol
You may believe that the 10 commandments and the Mosaic Law are the same thing, but I don't. I certainly don't believe we have to sacrifice animals anymore because Jesus was our sacrifice. The old laws, many feasts and sabbaths were done away with. The 10 commandments were still kept IN the ark, not on the side where the law of Moses, with all it's impossible to keep ordinances were kept ON THE SIDE of the ark.
The major point of difference between these two laws is the way they were recorded:
Exodus 31:18, "And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone,
written with the finger of God."
No one can confuse the Ten Commandments writing with the way the Mosaic law was produced:
Deuteronomy 31:9, "
And Moses wrote this law."
We are not under the law of Moses anymore, thanks to Jesus' sacrifice for us. He did away with the ordinances that were against us, which was the law of Moses, which kept people in bondage.
Deuteronomy 31:24-26, "And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee."
See? It was the Law of Moses that was against us-not the Law of God, His 10 commandments! That's what is spoken of in
The book of statutes and judgments which Moses wrote in a book was placed in a pocket on the side of the ark. In contrast, the Law written by God on tables of stone was placed inside the ark of the covenant.
Exodus 25:16, "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee."
The spiritual lesson of this physical separation is that we are to spiritually separate the Ten Commandments from the laws of Moses.
And, finally, the most important point. Did you know God himself wrote the Ten Commandments a second time? Moses broke the first Ten Commandments.
Exodus 34:1, "Hew thee two tablets of stone like unto first; and I will write upon the tablets the words that were on the first tables, which thou didst break."
Deuteronomy 10:1 "...Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount; and make thee an ark of wood."
Now, first of all, if the Ten Commandments were part of the Law of Moses, there
would be no need for God to write the Ten Commandments a second time after Moses broke the original Ten Commandments. Why? Because the Ten Commandments would already exist inside, and be included in, and be a part of, the book of Moses. The book of Moses still existed at that time, and was still being observed.
But God decided to write the ten commandments a second time, which would have been meaningless if it was considered a part of the law of Moses, or the book of Moses. So obviously, God considered His Law (His Ten Commandments), to be separate from the Law of Moses (the commandments of Moses). This shows that the two laws are to be considered separate and distinct laws from each other.
Moses' law was the
temporary, ceremonial law of the Old Testament. It regulated the priesthood, sacrifices, rituals, meat and drink offerings, etc., all of which
foreshadowed Christ Jesus. This law was added "till the seed should come," and that seed was Christ (Galatians 3:16,19). The ritual and ceremony of Moses' law pointed forward to Christ, and this law came to an end, but the Ten Commandments (God's law) "stand fast for ever and ever." (Psalm 111:8).
It's ever so clear!! But again, you have your opinion, I have mine. I choose to obey God's 10 commandments, which include not stealing, lying, worshiping other gods, etc....AND keeping the Sabbath. I choose NOT to go by the SEPARATE Law of Moses with it's sacrifices, rituals, ordinances, etc. etc.....you can do whatever you want though.
As for me being "well spoken"....trust me when I say that in real life, I am not. I am a lot more "articulate" on paper, because I can think out what I want to say, which I cannot do in person. A lot of the "articulate" sounding things I write are copied and pasted from other websites. I am not educated at all-I barely made it through high school and I have failed every single college I have ever gone to. I was on disability for awhile because of my learning problems. I have to have things written down, because I am unable to comprehend very well when things are spoken to me-I have to go ever and over them. I am considered "slow" everywhere I go. I forget words easily and have adhd. My SAT scores were so low that I was just a few points away from being considered mentally retarded. Embarrassing, but true. On paper though, I can think out and form my thoughts quite well, but not in real life. But enough of my problems-trust me when I say that I am not like this in real life.
I forgive you for your implication that I am lying about my learning problems. Again, this is the very last time I am going to post in this thread, because I have made my decision on what I believe on this subject, according to God's Word. You have your opinion, I have mine.
God bless you-have a wonderful day today!
