So my first answer wasn't good enough? Concerning redemption, redeem (as you know) means to purchase, and to obtain possession.
"And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people." Leviticus 26:12
"When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known , then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation." Leviticus 4:14
Then the ordinance of the temple priest's duties happen
"and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them." Leviticus 4:20b
This is a shadow of things to come in Christ Jesus. The physical temple has vanished and a new has been made
I'm off to retire for the evening, I'll check tomorrow after the wife and I take the bike for a spin. God bless.

see, building law of moses conflicts with the new covenent.

5 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.17 For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you."21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
6 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
is it. god s will, you need his son,

Hebrews 9 is correct, and it is true we all need Christ. According to what you have so graciously quoted, all that Jesus taught were the principles of the law in the Old Testament. I will highlight your quote so all can see. The principles of God, since the beginning including the exhortations of God to Israel via Moses, were also the principles of what Jesus taught before His death, and the Holy Spirit was sent to remind the disciples of all that Jesus taught. The law is truly Spiritual, and God is a Spirit, and we worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance , whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26
Heaven and earth shall pass away , but my words shall not pass away . Matthew 24:35

history never changed, the covenent did.
5 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance,
17 For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.18
15 To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many, but referring to one, "And to your offspring," who is Christ.17 This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
9 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,30 since God is one---who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
5 But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses." even none christain jews believed this. act 15
what slit them, was believing in jesus. is this ,why the christains were getting chased with the pharisee etc(paul at the stoning stephen)
but the christain believers, dont need a temple made of stone, to get forgivness of sins.
ie no temple 70 ad.

You are correct.
From what I can understand about the New Covenant in Christ Jesus, the only thing that has vanished is the tabernacle made with human hands and its ordinances. That was all fulfilled in Christ Jesus. Jesus bore all those ordinances on the cross along with our sins. As we know the foreshadow always included the shedding of blood and forgiveness was given with a repentant heart as it is in the New Covenant. In reference to the law outside of these ordinances, (an example such as Jubilee and the forgiving our debts, which is a Sabbath observance) we are still responsible for our actions and our understanding. We should strive to see all things though the Spirit of God.
"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." John 7:24
"But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth ; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart." (1 Samuel 6:17)

Well said. Regarding the above, what I also believe should temper such discussions is that the law of ordinances was given to Israel by the Lord, was never, ever laid on a Gentile nation. Judaism was never a global religion, while Christianity is to the Jew and the Gentile. To believe ordinances in the Old Testament the Lord only ever gave to Israel, of a failed legal system that only served to condemn those very people, is like putting a corpse on the back of Christianity. Also, we walk in the Spirit, the law of God written on our hearts, the summation of which is love,
Galatians 5:13-14 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Sometimes things get complicated, which aren't, inherently, complicated. This is how certain threads get 200 pages long, much like the economists of the world, if you lined them up in a straight line, they would never come to a conclusion.

PLEASE!! When you post for all to follow you, read and think thoroughly first. Scripture was breathed by God to Jews. The Old Test. is 78% of scripture and it was all made even in a special language they had. When God saw that most people didn't know him, God created a Jewish race to teach in a special way and set that race apart, even told them not to get together with others for suppers and parties together, but when Christ was crucified God split the curtain to the holy arc, remember? Jesus said everything remained the same with him, but at the same time Christ told us that He told how it was made better. At the time of that split, we were all to reach the arc and Christ was the high priest for our salvation to take the place of the Levi priest. The temple was changed at that time even if it was in 70 that the brick and mortar symbol of the temple was destroyed. Now, it isn't whether you are Jewish or not. That is what the letters written to the first churches are all about, tearing down the boundaries between Jews and gentiles.
You can keep to the diet God gave the Jews to symbolize cleanliness or not keep it, but all people are to keep the spiritual teaching. You can circumcise your baby boys or not circumcise them with a knife, but the heart is to be circumcised. We are not to be Jew and gentile any more, we are to be one in Christ. THAT is what Acts and Galatians is telling you.
You are very mixed up (honestly!!) about the place of the law that God wants us to have. Also, about what is law in spirit and truth. Are the feasts law in spirit and truth? Are the dietary law in spirit and truth? How did Christ overcome law? In order to find out about these things we must be humble before the Lord. Today we have a way to get help with a search of every scripture in all of scripture about law, use it and read about law starting with creation and how God developed it for us. It is all one God breathing the very same principle of His eternal self, the principle God has for us never changes. Find a search engine like there is in e-Sword software to search the entire bible for these scriptures. Your life depends on knowing all of God.
