The purpose of ceremonial laws?

[Denadii]

Correct it was so let us now look art this new covenant see who it is with and what happens within its directives, you see many think that each covenant negates the one before it , this is simply not the case or there would be no reason for a rainbow to appear now.
This new covenant is illustrated in a few places in biblical text but not as clearly as in Jer. 31:31-34 read these words carefully and decide for yourself.
Also I want to be clear and say I am in now way trying to pursued you to believe this or that,however the statement made was that these directives wern't actually commands and this is what I was addressing, that and the fact that the bible itself makes no distinction between so-called ceremonial laws and moral laws, or any other delineation, as stated previously please show biblical text its its proper context to show this directly, otherwise its just mans opinions, learned perhaps but suppositions non-the less.

Denadii nods.

whatever ceremonie the OP is referring to I suppose.........I don't know what the big deal is though......as to what the "purpose" of ceremonial laws is.......Understanding what the purpose of them are does not mean they are for today's Church, or have any place in the New Covenant.

As I stated, the purpose of law is to instil order

What ceremonies?

I was not asking the purpose of law. I was asking about what is ceremonial law.

The only ceremonial laws kept somewhat today are chickens blood on Yom Kippur by some orthodox Jews, and that is stretching it because that is not the norm. So, what are you talking about?

If you're trying to refer the Jewish feast those are no ceremonial laws. Then different conversation.... Or do you know a christian group sacrificing chickens for the blood!?!

Hebrews 9:8 onwards gives some background.

You need to ask the OP...........I was answering the question posed by the OP

I was not asking the purpose of law. I was asking about what is ceremonial law.

Many of the ceremonial laws as shadows were fulfilled at the time of reformation. And because of the restored government some remain and still point ahead to fulfillment and other were added as new tesetament principles also waiting for their fulfillment in the end of the Age.

Finding out the purpose will reveal what it is and what it is not.
