RE: SPIRITUAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT - THE PURPOSE OF SCRIPTURE

in #christianity6 years ago

We should read and know the Old Testament. Often though there isn't much to apply to our Christian lives except that God is a holy God who hates sin. That God keeps his word even if it takes centuries for God to carry out what he promised. But the 611 laws for the Jews don't apply to us. We're free to eat shrimp, to make garments with two different kinds of cloth. We don't have to follow the Jewish sacrificial system or the Sabbath. Some people like to follow the Sabbath today but if they did they wouldn't be able to go anywhere from Friday night to Saturday night.

Sort:  

That is what I used to believe as well. But after further study I could not find one place in scripture where Jesus said we are to no longer follow His Father instructions. In Fact He says the opposite. “I have not come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets but to do them” Mathew 5:17. Keeping Sabbath and following Gods instructions are a blessing.
