Is there some place in the bible that says we are not supposed to follow the tenants of the old testament?
I thought once the new law was handed down….that of grace and love, that the old testament laws no longer applied–which is why we dont still sacrafice sheep/goats for instance. But today the Pastor preached on the anger of God from Exodus and said we need to be obedient lest we kindle the anger of God—but I thought believers are saved by grace. I understand that I dont want to go around provoking God…thats not what I am saying. I am just looking for clarification. Or is this just one of the many thing that separates denominations—-I think it is good to have an understanding of the old testament and the old ways…..but we are supposed to live in the new testament law. Thoughts?
Alrighty here is my take on this question. I’ve just complete a study of the first have of Romans, and here is the just of what I learned. The old testament had SO many rules and regulations that God-fearing people had to follow. Paul, a Jew who attempted the follow these rules, know how hard ALL of them were to keep. Once he understood that someone could only be saved by grace alone, he saw a need to explain this to Jews. He used the illustration of circumcism. This was a huge law that all Jewish boys had to have done. Basically, the just of what Romans was saying, is that someone cannot get to heaven just by following the rules such as circumcision anymore. It says that a Jew could have been circumcised and NOT be a Christian, which someone who wasn’t circumcised could be a Christian solely based on your faith in Jesus Christ. So after this, does it demolish all the rules of the old testament? I think so. But the new testament does give us a whole new set of commandments that are very comparable to the old ones. All this to say, check out Romans!
