Second, the ceremonial laws, which prefigured and foreshadowed the coming of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. When He came, those ceremonial laws were done away with
only done away with according to the doctrine of man, not YHVH who was very direct when he said they are permanent Holy Convocations. I can not figure why religious leaders, to this day, have no concept of what the word forever means. Either they are ignorant or they are calling YHVH a liar & Covenant breaker.
the law remains as the way we can please God and show our gratitude to Him
No, the law remains as our way to please our FATHER. It is what is used to measure of our Faith & Trust in YHVH through HIS Son Yah’shua Messiah. It is what we will be judged by on the final Day of Atonement that ushers in the new age.
So out of curiosity, how many commandments are Christians bound to? Elsie says zero...”just believe in the one he has sent” although she did bring up the 4 that James said in Acts 15 when justifying not observing Sabbath. I have seen the number 0, 2, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 684 and 1050! What a mess. You would think after 2000 years the number would be defined.
The great desire of every newborn Christian is that he might please his Savior and his Father. My friends, strive to do what God has commanded, and you will have enough to keep yourself busy for more than one lifetime. It is true that we are not saved by the law; nevertheless, the law remains as the way we can please God and show our gratitude to Him.
D. James Kennedy ping!
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
