I realize this one has caused many pages of discontent among my fellow followers however; I was just in my study of Hebrews on chapter 7 and have come across great revelations and I hope you will give an open ear and mind to what I have to say about that law in chapter 7.
Christ is our King after the order of Melchezidec Correct? Meaning He had not beginning of days or ending of life. He is Eternal. As our high priest: Look if you will at the high priests in the old testament before Christ arrived. If you look carefully at the LAWS they were to follow, which admittedly I do not yet know all of them, Christ as our high priest came and nullified those LAWS because His priesthood came not from man but after the Eternal God the Father who granted Christ as His only begotten son to inherit all, including the souls of those whom He called.
One of the laws the high priests of the Old Testament were to perform is the sacrifice for sin. Now comes the interesting part of my study. You all argue that when Christ died on the cross He paid our sacrifice of sin so we no longer need to worry about not following the ten commandments because Christ has abolished the law by paying the price on the cross. However; if you look closely at Hebrews 7 you will find He did abolish the Law, the Law of the Priesthood, Not the law of the commandments. The Law of the priesthood I speak of is that of Christ gave His life for the sacrifice of the people's sin where as the levitical priests sacrificed animals in atonement for the peoples sin and for themselves. When Christ died on the cross He made those sacrifices of the levites null and void, no longer needed.
I can not count how many scriptures I find all over the place about keeping the commandments, my favorite of all of them has got to be, John 14:15 (KJV) If ye love me, keep my commandments. Can I get an AMEN!!! That my dear friends is found in the NEW TESTAMNT!! AMEN!!! I also am reminded of a scripture about needless arguments I believe that one is
Titus 3:9-11
9But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Now for myself and the hope of others, we must strive to live our lives according to John 14:15. If you truly love our God and Savior don't you think one of the biggest challenges of the new testament is to show ourselves worthy of Gods awesome love and care by following a simple set of rules to live by. If you think about all 10 of those simple rules, doesn't it show the most reverent kind of love on could give to a Father who gave His only flesh and blood to die for our salvation. I mean come on people are they that difficult to comprehend.
In Gods love I leave you to contemplate what I have just said. Please remember to be kind in your responses and God bless you all. Oh yea, happy Sabbath~~~
