Does the Bible have any errors? Law (God's commandments) Grace (God's salvation) are one and the same. What does not work with grace is lawlessness.
Matthew 7:23
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.'
Revelation 14:12Here is a call for the endurance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus
Revelation 12: 17And the dragon was enraged at thewoman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 7:19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what matters.
Ecclesiastes 12:. 13The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.
1 John 5:…2By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments. 3Forthis is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

About as significant that it contained a bowl of manna.
Jesus is the Word, the Manna/bread from Heaven. His body was the Tabernacle and His life and teachings revealed the spiritual reality of all the symbolic items found in the Tabernacle.
It's interesting to compare Revelation description of Heaven and God's instruction of how to build the Tabernacle.
Someone at our church did a Bible study about what all the items stood for. Really interesting but can't explain it without digging up notes.

yes the bible has errors( the OT). before i justify my statement, i would like to say this, we have the habit of quoting what the bible says, but we don't say what it means when it says what it says!like i said, the bible has errors in the sense that not all What God said in the old testament was correctly interpreted! what God said in the OT was interpreted through filtered minds such that before what God said could reach the people( from the prophets),it was diluted. it was sometimes mixed with human logic, until the arrival of God Himself in the flesh;
i will give two examples.1) prophet Samuel asked king soul to kill the Amaleks including women children and their cattle(1 Sam 15:2-3), well lets see if what the prophet said was exactly what God said by examining God in the flesh! The Samaritans refused Jesus from passing through Samaria to go to Jerusalem, and James and John asked the Lord to give them permission to call down fire from to destroy the Samaritans just like Elijah ; but the Lord rebuked them sternly and said to them" you do not know of what spirit ye are of, for the Son of man has come to save not to destroy"2) well we all know of the story of the woman caught in the act of adultery and the verdict the Lord passed! you would always find Jesus on multiple occasions saying " it was said, but i say"
in order to accurately interpret the scriptures, it must be done in the light of God's LOGIC, which was manifested in the flesh(The Lord Jesus).
i don't care if anyone spits fire out of his mouth in the name of a prophet, if that person doesn't reflect God in the flesh, i wouldn't listen, not even if they quote scriptures correctly!!!
i can only speak for myself
yes, he does.
dead is dead.
Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?
(Galatians 4:21)
(Galatians 4:21)
Paul is very clearly taking specifically about the Torah, the Law of Moses, throughout Galatians, not some ephemeral and ill-defined 'law of sin and death.'
in the context of what i quoted above, what follows is a description of two covenants by allegory of Isaac and Ishmael, born of a slave woman and a free woman. Paul very clearly states that the Torah comes through the slave woman, by figure, and makes slaves of all who are under it. but he says, the children of faith are through Isaac - and are of the free woman, and are made free. not under Torah.
never does Paul place gentiles under Torah.
in fact, the entire book of Galatians is a sharp rebuke to those Gentiles who were "bewitched" into thinking they must be under Torah.
this does not go contrary to Torah. Christ fulfilled Torah, and in Him all the righteousness that slaves to the Torah are held accountable to is fulfilled in those who live by faith.
the flesh profits nothing; the spirit gives life.
if you think you are under Torah, you say Christ died for nothing.
if you teach others to be enslaved under Torah, you make them slaves too, and preach against Christ.
there is no temple in the city there,
because the Lord Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
because there is no temple, there is no throne,
because the throne was in the temple.
the people do not live under a law, because they are free.
they are sons and daughters, not slaves - and need no law.
the law is written inside them.
whoever has a nature that is contrary to righteousness, that person must live under law in order to practice goodness.
but whoever has a righteous nature, does not need law, because they practice goodness from their hearts.
this is why Christ came, and the glory of His mercy towards us:
He has given us a new nature, and we are born again free!
i'm afraid that if you do not comprehend this,
you do not even see the Kingdom at all.

Being blameless is different from being sinless. David was said to Have a heart that sought after God, but yet he had someone killed so he could cover up adultery.
He sinned, yet could still be considered blameless because he believed in the prophecies of Christ. While the child lived he faster and in ash clothes but after the child died he rose and ate.
I haven't read all this thread, but the thread title and the Word tabernacle keeps drawing me back.
