I wonder if I should even bother to answer.
you just like to jump around scripture and then tell me that my timing is off...........
Exo 19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
Exo 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
Exo 20:20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
Exo 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
Exo 20:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
The Ten Commandments were not written by Moses in the Book of the Law, God spoke directly to the people.
There is a difference between the Law of Moses and the Ten Commandments.
there is a difference but Galatians is referring to both...
You chronology is off a little my friend...
Now, let's see how that works...
Exo 19:1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
OK, that would be the third month of the Hebrew calendar.
why are you jumping to Exodus 40? I stopped at the golden calf story in Exodus 32....
Exo 40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
First day fof the first month, this is at least nine months later, it could be ten. Depends on whether it was an intercalary year or not. I have not researched that.
perhaps you should reread what I've posted. I don't think you've really understood the points I was making because nothing you have posted relates.
Now where were sacrifices offered?
Lev 1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Lev 1:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
Lev 1:3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
Exo 29:35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
Exo 29:36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
Exo 29:37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
Exo 29:38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
Lev 6:30 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
Lev 12:6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
Sin offerings and sacrifices could only offered on the altar and had to be brought to the door of the tabernacle. According to Ex 40, the Tabernacle was erected 9 -10 months after Mount Sinai.
ok... but the commandments for the sacrifice were given BEFORE the Golden calf story. therefore you logic that the sacrifices were not part of the covenant in Sinai is void.
Which is exactly what God inspired Jeremiah to write...
Jer 7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jer 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Burnt offerings and sacrifices could not be offered by the Priests for the people until almost a year after the Law was given.
I think you misunderstand the words of the prophet Jeremiah as well.
God wanted to have a covenant people who followed only HIM but the people rejected that and that is why the covenant at the mount of Sinai was given.
The covenant God wants with His people is not found in the Law of Moses or the Ten Commandments but when people have been BORN Again in the Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah makes reference to this:
[h=3]Jeremiah 31:31-34[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[h=3]A New Covenant[/h][SUP]31 [/SUP]“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— [SUP]32 [/SUP]not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them,[SUP][
a][/SUP] says the Lord. [SUP]33 [/SUP]But this
is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. [SUP]34 [/SUP]No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
Hebrews 8
[h=3][/h][SUP]7 [/SUP]For if that first
covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— [SUP]9 [/SUP]not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For this
is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. [SUP]11 [/SUP]None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds[SUP][
b][/SUP] I will remember no more.”[SUP][
c][/SUP]
[SUP]13 [/SUP]In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
