What does it mean to follow the Old Testament laws that pertain to temples and animal sacrifices, if we do not have these things today? What do these laws tell us about how Christians today ought to approach worship?This episode continues our three episode series on Matthew 5: 17-20 in the Sermon on the Mount, addressing how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament laws known as the Ceremonial, or Liturgical Law.This We Believe is brought to you in part by Logos.

Jesus is a better hope than the Old Testament law and priesthood could give. Why? Because the law gave a priesthood that brought imperfection, impermanence, and was impotent. But Jesus brings perfection, permanence and power.  So in and by Jesus we can truly draw near to God. 

I. Jesus is the free Son of God the King, vv24-26. II. Jesus fulfills the temple tax upon the cross, Exodus 30:11-16. III. Jesus is the Sovereign Lord of creation, v27. 

Bible Study: (1:57) Rom 3:21-30 Father discusses righteousness and works of the law Letters (22:44) - Thank you for what Father said to a mom whose daughter is becoming a nun (24:16) - Are horror movies sinful?  (29:03) - Peter as elder; why not as Pope?  Word of the Day: Principle (33:24) Callers  (34:54) - Does a catholic sin if they receive communion but don't believe in transubstantiation? (37:37) - Question about the Ceremonial Law, where the priests would do the sacrifice, and no longer needed the priests do the sacrifice?  (40:39) - My sister was a cafeteria Catholic and died earlier this month.   (42:27) - What do you think about the Dia de los Muertos? (49:11) - Priest gestures at mass

I. In vv10-11 Jesus says our problem is not what goes into us, but what is already inside of us. II. In vv12-14 Jesus straightforwardly tells his disciples the Pharisees and scribes can't be trusted. III. vv15-18 What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. IV. And so, in vv19-20, the heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. 

“Be doers of the Word,” an instruction from James to those who follow the Messiah. But what does he mean by the phrase? What is the “Word” we are to do? We'll examine what James was talk about and touch on the idea of the Torah being broken down into three categories, the civil laws, moral laws, and ceremonial laws. 

Looking back to the Ceremonial Law of the Old Testament and the various feasts and festivals that God commanded His people to observe, Pastor Isaiah helps us draw out the greater reason for worship and celebration that we have today living with the Light of Christ in our view.

Having described how God had saved them from bondage to external law and ceremonial religion, and evil spirits, and given them the liberty and inheritance of sonship (v7-8), Paul points out how foolish is it for them to desire to return to being in bondage again to external ceremonial laws, such as observing days, months, seasons and years (v9-10), which he describes as weak and beggarly elements (v3,9) – that is, they are impotent to save, and have no intrinsic value. They are not reality, but only shadows of reality, whose purpose is to point to the substance (Christ). But now we are in Christ, our faith connects us directly to His realities, so these outward observances are no longer necessary. In fact, if we believe that we must focus our lives on obeying them, the danger is that it will cause us to focus on externals, rather than on the reality in Christ. Then Paul makes a series of personal appeals to the Galatians, reminding them how much he had sacrificed and laboured among them, so they would know the truth (v11), how much he had identified with them and come alongside them, which should cause them to stop distancing themselves from him, but instead be loyal to him (v12). He then reminds them how they received him with love and honour as God's messenger, when he came to them with the Gospel, even though he came in weakness, and with much bruising around his eyes, having just been stoned to death (v13-14, see Acts 14:19-25). He reminds them of the blessedness of their time together, when God's love flowed freely between them, when they would have been willing to give up their own eyes for his sake (v15). Then he shames them by saying: “have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” (v16). Finally, he points out that the false teachers are making a fuss of them for selfish reasons, so that they would be able to possess the Galatians for themselves, and so control them, and cut them off from Paul and everyone else (v17), which is exactly the way that cults operate.

In this study, we see what God did for us, when we received Christ as Lord and Saviour. The key phrase is ‘in Christ.' God made the promise of salvation to Abraham and His SEED, who is CHRIST (v16). Christ received the full Blessing of Abraham on our behalf, and when we trusted in Christ, we were baptised into Christ (v27, Romans 6:3-7). In Christ (through our union with Him) we became sons of God (v26), clothed with His righteousness (v27). Moreover, all believers in Christ, whatever our race, status or sex, are ONE (literally, one entity), for if we are in Christ (v26,27,28), we are Christ's (under His headship), forming part of Abraham's SEED (v29), who is CHRIST (He is the head and we are the body). This agrees with 1Corinthians 12:12-13: “By one Spirit we were all baptised into one body (Christ), whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” Since in Christ, we are now the Seed of Abraham, we inherit the Blessing of Abraham, which includes our full salvation, as a free-gift of His grace (v14,29). In Galatians 4:1-7, Paul restates his previous argument from 3:23-25, proving that when we trust in Christ, we are no longer slaves (under the law), but sons, who are free. He points out that any potential heir, while still a child, is under external restraint (law), like a slave, until the time appointed by the father (4:1-2), for him to be raised into the position of mature sonship (as a ‘huios'), when he is set free from bondage to the external law, and is able to enter into and enjoy his inheritance (v5,7). Likewise, before our salvation, we were in bondage to the Law, described as the elementary principles of religion, that is, the Ceremonial Law (v3), but now through Christ we have been redeemed, set free from slavery to the Law, adopted as sons and heirs of God, and given His Holy Spirit to dwell within us (v5-7).

In these verses, Paul continues to describe how the Law serves the purpose of preparing man to receive salvation through faith in Christ. The Law of Moses consists of (1) the Moral Law, which revealed His absolute righteousness, (2) the Ceremonial Law, which revealed what Christ would do to save us, and (3) the Civic Law, which revealed that God's justice demanded punishment when laws were broken. The Moral Law proved all men are guilty, under sin, so that our only hope of salvation is through faith in Christ (v22). The Ceremonial Law acted like a tutor, governing the life of Israel and keeping her separate from the nations, preserving her from corruption, as well as the truth with which she had been entrusted by God (v23). For Messiah to come and perfectly fulfil the Law, He needed to be born into a nation where the Law was honoured as God's Word. The Ceremonial Law, as a tutor, also pointed to the way of salvation through Christ, so that men would be justified by faith in the coming Messiah (v24). But now that Christ has come, and we have put our faith in Him for salvation, we are no longer under the Law (v25), for it has now fulfilled its preparatory role in our life. Just as a child is kept under external supervision, until he becomes a mature grown-up son (‘huios'), able to choose for himself, so likewise we lived under law, until we became a son (huios') of God, which took place when we put our trust in Christ (v26). Just as a child is set free from external supervision when he becomes a ‘huios', so we were set free from the Law, when we became sons of God through faith in Christ, for we no longer need an external tutor to control our behaviour, because we are now constrained by the love of Christ within us (2 Cor 5:14).

  Wake the Faith up Slayer… This is Garth Heckman with the David Alliance and you can reach me at TDAgiantslayer@gmail.com    Brought to you by wellbuiltbody.com Gym Apparel for men and women that rocks and shocks and ain't for everybody - but just might be for you. wellbuiltbody.com   Stop in the name of the Law… does that still work? Did it ever work? Seriously was there a time that you could just yell out “stop in the name of the law” and people were like - Darn it, I was just about to get away with it… but they yelled stop in the name of the law.    Ceremonial Law – this was a brand-new set of laws that God gave to Moses that were specifically for the nation of Israel as a theocracy.  These laws dealt with the qualifications for priests, requirements for how and when to perform sacrifices, cleanliness laws, dietary laws, festival laws and tithing laws.  Ceremonial Law: This type of law related to Israel's worship. (Lev 1:1-13) The laws pointed forward to Jesus Christ and were no longer necessary after Jesus' death and resurrection. Though we are no longer bound to them, the principles behind the ceremonial laws, to worship and love God, still apply. Civil(Judicial) Law – All nations must have civil laws to help deal with disputes between their citizens as well as to enforce the morals of the people.  While not all of the Mosaic civil laws dealt with moral issues, a great deal of the Civil laws for Israel did in fact deal with how to punish or make restitution for violation of God's moral laws.  So, when we examine the Old Testament to search for the moral law of God – we must look for moral laws that stand alone as well as civil laws which prescribe punishment and restitution for breaking God's moral laws. Civil Law: This law dictated Israel's daily living (Deut 24:10-11); but modern society and culture are so radically different that some of these guidelines cannot be followed specifically. The principles behind the commands are to guide our conduct.   Moral Law – this is law which reflects God's character and his design of this world. Examples of this law would include but are not limited to commands regarding murder, children honoring and obeying their parents, adultery, covetousness and theft. Moral Law: The moral laws are direct commands of God. A good example is the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:1-17).   The biblical view of scripture/law and primarily abortion or homosexuality. When people say that there are laws in the bible about don't eating shell fish, don't wear wool mix clothes, don't wear pants, don't wear your hair down… one must understand that there were 3 types of law given in scripture. Ceremonial, Civil and Moral. Ceremonial and civil were based on that time in history, context and history. But moral law is based on the character of God, it is unchanging. Jesus affirmed this by saying I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. We could keep the ceremonial and civil, but we can't keep the moral without the life giving spirit of Jesus.    The moral laws reveal the nature and will of God, and still apply to us today. We do not obey this moral law as a way to obtain salvation, but to live in ways pleasing to God.                                   Starting October 16th… in times of chaos it is good to have a strong understanding of the following.  Is There More to Life than This? Who is Jesus? Why Did Jesus Die? How Can We I Have Faith? Why and How Do I Pray? Why and How Should I Read the Bible? How Does God Guide Us? Who is the Holy Spirit? What Does the Holy Spirit Do? How Can I Be Filled with the Holy Spirit? How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life? How Can I Resist Evil? Why and How Should I Tell Others? Does God Heal Today?

The “law” which the author references in the beginning of Hebrews 10:1, is not a reference to the Moral Law (the 10 Commandments). The Moral Law is not a shadow of future blessings, but an eternal system of perfect precepts; the holiness it requires is not figurative, but truly good and truly right. Furthermore, the principles of the Moral Law are not obscure, but plain and easily understood. And finally, the Moral Law is not fleeting and passing away, as a shadow, but lasting and durable. Therefore, it is not the Moral Law, but rather the Ceremonial Law, that is intended here. The Ceremonial Law was the "shadow" (a figure/type), a representation of something else that is actually true, real, and substantial. The Ceremonial Law was dark and obscure, yet there was some measure of light and ultimate reality contained in it. The Ceremonial Law ultimately pointed to Christ himself.

Ang Ceremonial ng Batas

Ang Ceremonial ng Batas

The Ceremonial Law was fulfilled and abrogated by Christ. And yet, some Dispensationalists think that animal sacrifices will be reinstated in the Millennial Kingdom.

Galatians 2:16 In OT, there are three types of laws: Civil Law: how Israelites live with and among each other. Ceremonial Law: circumcision, food, dress, daily practices. These laws made you ritually clean and accepted in Temple worship. Made Jews distinct from other nations—ethically and culturally. Moral Law: summed up in the Ten Commandments. We are only made right before God through faith in the completed work of Jesus. Righteousness: Civil righteousness—nation's public laws that lawyers defend. Cultural righteousness—standards of a family, school, or social group. Ethical righteousness—the Ten Commandments—don't kill anyone or commit adultery. Righteousness by faith in Christ – It is all based on the work Jesus has done for us. We can do nothing to earn it, achieve it, or keep it. It is not active; it's passive. We only received it based on what Jesus has done. Passive righteousness. Galatians 2:18-20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Salvation by Faith (Saving Faith): • I believe in the trustworthiness of God. • I believe in the message of God. • I believe in the work of God's Son. Living by Faith (Daily Faith): • I continue to trust in the work of Jesus. • I continue to trust in God's faithfulness—to supply all my needs, forgiveness—when I sin, and grace when tempted to try to work my way back into his favor. • I continue to embrace and hold onto the truth of Scripture.

What is the relationship between the Christian and the Law of God? How we understand the relationship between Christ and the Law will affect how we understand all of Scripture. The church has long understood the Law under the threefold distinctions of Moral Law, Ceremonial Law and Judicial Law. How do these distinctions help us understand why some commands are no longer followed like they used to be, and why others are considered timeless? The Law is useful for convicting of sin, for restraining evil, and for understanding what is pleasing to God. Listen as Pastor Caleb preaches from Matthew 5:17-20 and the claim of Jesus that He came not to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them.

As we continue our series in Acts, we are going to look at the big breakthrough in the New Testament: when the Gentiles are officially invited into God's mission. What does this tell us about our story as Christians today? What does it mean to...

Why do we follow some parts of the Old Testament Law and not others- Because Jesus fulfilled the different parts of the law in different ways.

Quotations from "Gay daughter sent bishop back to Scriptures"By Bishop Richard WilkeAug. 21, 2019 | WINFIELD, Kansas (UM News)That is why the current divide in our United Methodist Church over homosexuality breaks my heart. I have given my life to revitalizing the church and bringing people to Christ. I want to say that allowing this issue to separate us seems incomprehensible....The young woman before us that night wanted to be loved and accepted, but she wasn't a troubled, tortured soul. She was happy and whole, and Julia and I believed that her sexual orientation was how God had made her.Still, I knew I had some work to do. I needed to reconcile my commitment to scriptural authority with loving and accepting my daughter. There is a reason many Bibles use red letters to set Jesus' words apart: The color highlights their importance relative to the surrounding text.Remember, too, that Jesus is the Word made flesh. He is Lord, even of the Bible!Neither Jews nor Christians obey the Holiness Code today. Christians eat shrimp because Jesus said, “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.”But Jesus and his ministry concern me most. Time and again, he deliberately focused on the marginalized. He healed the crippled, the demon-possessed and the sick. He performed miracles in the synagogue, although religious leaders scolded him that the labor and healing violated the Sabbath. A desperate woman, bleeding for years, an outcast, touched the hem of Jesus' cloak and was healed. Our Lord forgave the prostitute who wept at his feet. He cured a Roman soldier's servant, though the Jews despised the oppressive Roman occupation.Samaritans were even more detested than the Romans. Yet Jesus upended all convention when he cast a “good Samaritan” as the hero of his parable.The hatred and condemnation of others all seems to be the very opposite to both the action and the teachings of Jesus. He laid the groundwork for the church to accept Gentiles when he said, “I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.”Again and again Jesus placed kindness and acceptance over custom and social norms. “Love one another,” he commanded, “as I have loved you.” He also emphasized hospitality: “When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. And you will be blessed.”If we are to be Christ followers, how can we reject the LGBT community in light of Jesus' ministry?Nothing in my 70 years of ministry would lead me to believe that The United Methodist Church would or should divide over these few misunderstood passages of Scripture. I am offering this message because, I believe that Jesus is Lord of the Bible, and all of his teachings direct us to create a loving and inclusive community of faith.

Examples of this law would include but are not limited to commands regarding murder, children honoring and obeying their parents, adultery, covetousness and theft.Ceremonial Law – this was a brand-new set of laws that God gave to Moses that were specifically for the nation of Israel as a theocracy. These laws dealt with the qualifications for priests, requirements for how and when to perform sacrifices, cleanliness laws, dietary laws, festival laws and tithing laws.Civil(Judicial) Law – All nations must have civil laws to help deal with disputes between their citizens as well as to enforce the morals of the people. While not all of the Mosaic civil laws dealt with moral issues, a great deal of the Civil laws for Israel did in fact deal with how to punish or make restitution for violation of God's moral laws. So, when we examine the Old Testament to search for the moral law of God – we must look for moral laws that stand alone as well as civil laws which prescribe punishment and restitution for breaking God's moral laws.( https://biblicalgenderroles.com/what-is-the-distinction-between-the-moral-ceremonial-and-civil-laws-of-the-old-testament/ )Wesely's quadrilateral – Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience.“The resulting four components or "sides" of the quadrilateral are (1) Scripture, (2) tradition, (3) reason, and (4) experience. For United Methodists, Scripture is considered the primary source and standard for Christian doctrine. Tradition is experience and the witness of development and growth of the faith through the past centuries and in many nations and cultures. Experience is the individual's understanding and appropriating of the faith in the light of his or her own life. Through reason the individual Christian brings to bear on the Christian faith discerning and cogent thought. These four elements taken together bring the individual Christian to a mature and fulfilling understanding of the Christian faith and the required response of worship and service.”http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/wesleyan-quadrilateral The Catechism of the Catholic Church 2357Chastity and homosexuality2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.( http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P85.HTM )

The three-fold division of the law has come under a lot of criticism, can you briefly defend it from the Bible? Why does the Confession speak of the ceremonial law as being given to Israel “as a church”? What does the Confession mean by “church under age”? What is meant by the word “typical”? What … More Episode 19.3: The Ceremonial Law

What does Aaron have to do with your life?

The insufficiency of the Levitical Priesthood, the Ceremonial Law, and its sacrifices were always meant to point to the sufficiency of the better, perfect, and permanent Priest and sacrifice in the Lord Jesus Christ.  He has come!  He is coming again!

Jesus is a better hope than the Old Testament law could give. Why? Because the law gave a priesthood that brought imperfection, was impermanent, and was based on the inability of law.

Ceremonial Law

David Chilton gave these two speeches at a full preterist conference in Oklahoma City in 1997, not long after he had become a full preterist, and only a few months before he died. That was the occasion when he made the now famous remark: “...Here I am as a Full Preterist.” Chilton explained the meaning of Matthew 5:17-20 where Jesus predicted the passing away of the old heavens and earth. He shows that this was referring to the soon-coming end of the old covenantal world and the arrival of the new covenantal world in Christ and in the Church. He shows that this was the same “heaven and earth” and covenantal world mentioned in both 2 Peter 3 and Hebrews 8:13. He quotes from John Owen, John Brown, Milton Terry, J. S. Russell, and F. F. Bruce to support his point. Perhaps the most valuable part of this is his critique of Theonomy as it was explained by Greg Bahnsen and William Einwechter. Chilton clearly shows how the Theonomists misinterpreted both Matt 5:17-20 and Heb 8:13 when they bound the “jots and tittles” of the Ceremonial Law upon us today.

What is the difference between the ceremonial law, the moral law, and the judicial law in the Old Testament? Is it only the ceremonial law that came to an end at the death of Christ?
