The Old Testament Laws

Actually, they all are, else Christ lied...

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Earlier, we discussed the underlying principles of a few. There are some that cannot be implemented now, the laws around the Temple and physical sacrifices cannot be carried out today. Conditions have changed. There is no Temple in Jerusalem and there is no consecrated earthly Priesthood. But are we to sacrifice today? You betcha!...

Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Some of the laws were civil or national laws. Would it be good the USA to implement them? Yes it would, but the government we have does not. As an individual, can you implement them nationally, statewide or even locally? No.

So even though no law is done away, the application of some has changed. The Passover is a perfect example, we no longer roast a lamb and eat it in haste. Christ changed the symbols from the roasted lamb to unleavened bread and wine...

1Co 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
1Co 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1Co 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

Days of Unleavened Bread?

1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Paul shows here that there is now a deeper, more spiritual component to these Feast days.


See the part in bold. Are you saying we are to keep the actual "feast" or that as believers in Christ we are to remove the leaven (sin/evil) in our life and celebrate what Christ has done for (he was our passover lamb) us in sincerity and truth? The passage you posted is in the middle of a gorup discussing sin being not only allowed in the Church but celebrated.

Jesus Christ has set us free from the bondage of sin (egypt). and we celebrate that fact with sincerity and truth.

I believe the purpose of that feast was to point us to Jesus Christ.

How much clearer could Paul be?

1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The Apostle's kept and taught the Feasts of the Lord. They did not keep xmas and ishtar.

The Feasts are shadows of things YET to come...

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Now remember, this was written over 20 years AFTER the crucifixion. God's plan was NOT finished on the Cross. There is still the return of Christ, the Millenium, the Great White Throne Judgment and finally, the New Heavens and New Earth.
