Most know that there are truths, analogies, images, types, symbols etc, in the OT.
But you ignore the simple truth, Paul fought this stuff off the church, because mainly, he feared the bondage, the dynamic principle behind this teaching. Yes, there are prohecies in the OT too, yup...
But why did Paul write emphatically what he did, against those who were promoting Judaism, to grow by?
*[[Exo 33:11-14]] RNKJV*
And יהוה spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
And Moses said unto יהוה, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found favour in my sight.
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find favour in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
If you missed it...this is where Paul draws law of the spirit of life....but notice this was spoken directly by God
*[[Joh 1:14]] RNKJV* And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
We beheld his glory....like the glory that shown from Moses face when God spoke the law to him....which was hidden behind a vale untill it was manifested....though it is still hidden to some.
*[[Joh 14:6-11]] RNKJV* Yahushua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Rabbi, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Yahushua saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Has the Father changed his word....did he in times past bear false witness....can one thing he said be wrong....no.... His Word is immutable....the jews didnt make up his word but you act like because they did not fully understand it Gods word is done away with....your fight is not against Jews or law keepers....you are wrestling with God....but if a supplanter holds on and wont stop he resieves a blessing when his own streangth becomes crippled.
