YOKE OF BONDAGE

God, speaking through his servants the prophets and the apostles, convinced me that the law is a burden.
On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles. 12 They shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame. 13 They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it. 14 They shall put on it all its vessels, with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the flesh hooks, the shovels, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles. 15 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the
burden
of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

So God gave specific duties to a specific Tribe for a specific Priesthood which symbolically foreshadowed the perfect sacrifice of the Messiah, duties that you are not now, nor were you ever to partake of, in fact, had you been there and attempted to perform these "Burdensome Laws" you would have been killed.

And may I remind you that Aaron, the Levite, and his son's are no longer in charge of the Sanctuary, and have not been in charge since Jesus changed the Priesthood and became our High Priest. (Though the Jews couldn't accept this truth and continued to preach justification by these Priesthood duties, or as Paul calls them "Works or Deeds of the Law")

So even if you were of the tribe of Levi, you would no longer be held "under the law" that was Added until the "SEED" should come.

This is the scripture you use to promote your religious doctrine of "God's Law is a burden"? This is the verse you use to erase or make void so many other scriptures pertaining to God's instructions?

What if it is your religious tradition and understanding which came from man Dan? What if Jesus was right?

16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Remember the first example of deception. The serpent used "parts" of God's Word to deceive Eve in believing God didn't have her best interest at heart when He gave her instruction.

Do you wish help, Studyman?

this reads a little differently when read in its context..




a sure hope that greatly encourages; an unchanging promise that can fully be trusted because He who promised is faithful.
that God has put to an end all argument with His oath - Christ is priest forever - Christ, who has by one sacrifice perfected forever all who cling to this hope.



what about:
endure in belief? ((not being deceived by false prophets))
endure in love? ((not waxing cold))

always you seem to assume iniquity when others speak of His great grace towards us -- when others speak of that hope written of in Hebrews 6.

endure in hope and belief, knowing His blood justifies. that is not tantamount to 'abound in iniquity'

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.


"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world"

This also means overcoming the Religions of the World.

And I truly hope for His Mercy.

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Our faith

most of the religions of the world teach exactly what you do- one has to earn their way to Heaven / paradise / nirvana.

Jesus said he was the way, the only way. he said take the narrow path. what is that path? don't drink, smoke or cuss?

no, total trust in Him. most ( including you ) do NOT teach this. they ( you ) teach a man-made version of earn your salvation religion.

looks good on paper, but will not look good at the jugdement.

So you are saying if an 8 day old child let's itself be circumcised, Christ is of no value to him.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. 10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one." 11"There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 12They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one." 13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
it's my understanding that no one keeps God's Commandments. see
14"Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness." 15"Their feet are swift to shed blood. 16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths. 17 The way of peace, they have not known." 18"There is no fear of God before their eyes." 19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. 20Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin. 21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and upon all who believe.

You said there's no scriptural support for being obedient to God placing a person in a position where they would be disobedient to the Law. I gave example.

I believe you said that you don't believe you will be placed in a position where you will have to break God's Law to keep it. Have you not read what David did, when he and his companions were hungry; 4 how he entered into the house of God, and they ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests? 5Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?


Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no man with you?" 2 David said to the priest, "The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, 'Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.' 3 Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is." 4 And the priest answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it." 5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?" 6 So the priest gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. 7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul. 8 David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste." 9 The priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me." 10 David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 11The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"

was Ahimelech right to give David the bread?

Jesus was born under the law.

But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, though he is lord of all; 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father. 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world. 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law, 5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.

we are not under the law.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

The "Law" said God would bring "Gentiles" (physically uncircumcised by definition) into His Fold "After those days". Even the stranger who takes hold of His Sabbaths. Paul understood this. Was Abraham Faithful to God before physical circumcision? Was Abel, was Noah? What were these examples to teach us?

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Paul understood this teach from the "LAW" and so do I. One thing is for sure, God didn't create the whole "circumcision" thing as an excuse for religious man to reject His Commandments.

I just trust the Word which became Flesh over the religious traditions and doctrines of the World. God didn't create a commandment against cussing or drinking or smoking. But He did say;

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
