"O foolish Christians! Who has bewitched you that you should desire this? It is just plain insulting to the Lord to return to the type and shadow and "besmirch" the better things. Why do you advocate doing this?"

Why?

It's the sign of The Fall.

I agree with Dr. Steve Brown who makes this very profound statement to professing Christians:

"The sign of the Fall isn't your sin, folks --- Jesus took care of your sin. The sign of the Fall is your reversion to THE LAW."

Christians are "saved by grace", but it isn't long before they become very religious.

Foolish, spiritually immature legalists, comprise the vast majority of church congregations, and have comprised the vast majority, ever since God had to warn them about it through Paul. (Galatians).

There is more than one aspect to reverting back to the law.

Bump to your excellent post! xzins, you really need to read what Matchett and I have posted these last few posts.

Galatians:

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Hebrews:

Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more offering for sin.

Yet, somehow, in the "perfect" paradise, we will need those animal sacrifices again.
