Understanding the Nation and Laws of Israel

The Old Testament can seem hard to read and confusing.   Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy were also kind of difficult for me to get through. A lot of it are laws and very detailed instructions or measurements of offerings.  Here's a breakdown. 1.Moral Laws the moral laws focused on ethical behavior and interpersonal conduct, outlining principles of justice, honesty, and respect for others. These laws, often encapsulated in the Ten Commandments, emphasized the importance of loving God and one’s neighbor, serving as a foundation for moral conduct within the community. Together, the ceremonial and moral laws formed a comprehensive framework for both worship and daily life in ancient Israel. 2. Ceremonial Laws The ceremonial laws in ancient Israel were a set of regulations that governed religious practices, rituals, and worship, including sacrifices, festivals, and the roles of priests. These laws were designed to maintain the holiness of the community and facilitate a pro...

Why Christians don't keep the Jewish Laws

Q: Jews judge Christians by saying they aren't keeping and obeying all the Laws, saying they're eating pork and shellfish. Is there something they're missing here, can you explain?  A: To those in Jewish religion,  I ask if you have read the Hebrew Old Testament yourself. The actual book of the words of God. You need to read it & study it.  To the Christian, I will say they're very much misleading about both Jesus work, and the laws.

His total and perfect work on our behalf saved us [who believe].  The moral law seen in the 10...

Why Christians Do Not Follow Everything in the Bible

Why dont Christians follow everything the Bible says? First, the reason there is confusion on this because the unsaved [spirirually blind] cannot understand the Scriptures as the born again do, [see with spiritual eyes; by the Holy Spirit].  Here are a few verses about spiritual blindness: 2 Corinthians 4:4 - "The god of this age [Satan] has blinded the minds of unbelievers , so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." John 9:39-41 - Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see...  [given Spiritual sight] Isaiah 6:9-10 - [people can be] ever hearing, but never understanding; ever seeing, but never perceiving. [Spiritual blindness] Proverbs 4:18-19 - The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. John 12:39-40 - For this reason they c...
