i've already stated that i believe the "ten" were in existent from the beginning.
so, the law that was before or until, 430 years later even, was the ceremonial - works of law, that was added.
these laws required physical labor to accomplish.
not like the "ten", which requires no physical labor, or physical work to accomplish.
so what was added was a "temporal law", like washings, which showed the need to be cleansed by God's Holy Spirit.
there were sacrifices which pointed to the sacrifice of the Christ.
these were laws that were added because of transgressions. and they transgressed the "ten", because they define sin, (gen 39:9, 1jn 3:4).
look:
Hebrews 9:1,10(NKJV)
1Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary...10concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
look at what to with these ordinance were concerned. fleshly (physical) ordinances, "works of law", by which no man will be justified.
Ephesians 2:15(NKJV)
15having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,
that law served it's purpose. foreshadowed the things to come and was done away.
for the law is spiritual, the part that God, Himself wrote.
God didn't write fleshly ordinances!
it defines sin.
why was there sin and death, through all, before the law, and to those who did not do the same transgression of Adam?
