Yep. That's what it says.

Praise God, we don't have to do that ritual any longer!

 

[Jethro Bodine]

Yes, that law is meaningless to women already made clean and brought near to God through the blood of Christ. The work of Christ in effect taking that law--that wall--out of the way and making it so it can no longer prohibit the new mother from approaching God and entering the sanctuary of the people of God.

What an interesting question. My research found no particular sin that the Mother had committed. Some have suggested that in the very painful process of child bearing, she might have uttered curses against her husband for putting her into this painful situation. Or she may have complained about God cursing Eve with pain in childbearing, or a number of sinful thoughts and statements.

This is an interesting verse....Look at 1Timothy 2:14 "and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 2:15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control."

This is where it all began....
Genesis 3:16 "To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

As I understand this verse, all women in the future will carry the sin of Eve, as well as the "greatly multiply thy sorrow (pain) in the process of bearing children whether male or female.

Whatever sin that the Mother has to atone for, whether the sin of Eve carried forward, or personal sin caused by the childbearing process, all needed a sacrifice animal or bird.

As far as the woman being saved in childbearing, that is a statement of God looking forward to Jesus' birth. Jesus would have never come to the earth other than childbearing. He, Jesus the Son of God, would be the Source of a childbearing woman's Salvation. Not that childbearing is the source of her Salvation.

The Law is Spiritual and must be understood in that way. It has exactly nothing to do with killing pigeons. There WAS a natural showing of law first, which is in the O.T. But they are not at the core of spiritual understandings. Natural sight however will still produce natural outcomes and such sight will only see killing pigeons and turtledoves as a physical matter.

That has passed on and away, but the Spiritual matters of the Laws remain.

If you want to see an example of the Spiritual dissection of an obscure law of the O.T. in the hands of an Apostle, read 1 Cor. 9 about the "oxen" by Paul. You might see it didn't have a thing to do with Oxen. And that is the Spirit of the Law.

If you want to see the Spirit of every law and command, read Paul in Romans 13:8-10. And use THAT to understand every command there is in the scriptures and apply every command therein to your own heart. You might find it very beneficial to your spiritual innards.
