I have been down this road before on here! Try asking for an explanation of Acts 15:21! You'll either laugh, cry, or want to throw your 'puter out the window!! But then I love being abused (it helps to have skin like a rhino here!)

God did not return to the "old". He had a plan right from the start. He knew man would fall. From the very start he planned to give His Son. He still set up the Law so that we would know how to love Him and love our neighbor. Jesus came to make God's covenant with us fuller (Matthew 5:17). He brought better understanding of the Law. He fulfilled the Feast days (some we are still waiting for Him to fulfill.)
Matthew 5:18 states that the jot nor the tittle will pass away until heaven and earth pass away. Heaven and earth have not passed away. A new heaven and a new earth are being created. We are preparing for the wedding feast of the Lamb. Until that day comes we are to follow the Law. Jesus clarified that we are to follow the Law in love.

We don't need God's law anymore, it was abolished by Christ on the cross. We certainly aren't fearing God when we aren't obeying, instead making up our own man-made ways of worshipping Him, rather than the way He told us to do it. We've figured out and our plan is so much better than His, wouldn't you agree? Sounds like it to me, otherwise, why not do as He says to do in His commands?? Kay
Why would God, restore the old carnal regulations and practices when something far better, with transcendent promises, has arrived? God has made everything new! The new order eclipses the old regulations and practices, which were only shadows of the good things to come (Heb. 10:1). To put it another way, why would God return to the Old after having created the New? This would be regression, not progression. Or, why would God retreat by reinstating the carnal when He has resurrected the spiritual? Why would any believer want to surrender his spiritual status in this new age and return to the carnal, external, and legalistic arrangement under Moses? Well, why?
