The orphan, the widow, the priest, and the foreigner among us. This would be the rabbi or pastor, the poor family needing assistance, the homeless man who hangs out on Falkenburg and Causeway, the family whose house burnt down, hosting a meal for congregation members, baking for the elderly couple.
Who gets your tithe?
Why offer an ox or a dove when Jesus paid it all?
There is no temple. There was no sacrifice for intentional sin. Jesus paid that.
What does wearing a beard have to do with the inside of the cup?
Has to do with obedience.
I can show you in the Bible where the law was for Jews. Can you show me where it is for me, today?
Yep. Look up "foreigner". Also look up Romans and the grafting in principle.
Example:
Num 15:15 '{As for} the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien who sojourns {with you,} a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before the LORD.
Num 19:10 'The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual statute to the sons of Israel and to the alien who sojourns among them.
And that's just two of them. There are a bunch more, including "perpetual statute, throughout all your generations", forever commandment, etc.
If breaking one law made you guilty of breaking the whole law, and if it is impossible to keep the whole law today, is the old covenant void? If not, how can you possibly please God?
That's simple....it's called Grace.
