The Law Of Moses And The Blood Of Christ

When reading and interpreting biblical law, there are several important features to consider. First, there should be an understanding of the nature of law (“Lecture 1,” 2015). Torah, or תּוֹרָה, is the Hebrew word translated for “law” (Vogt, 2009). Its meaning refers to ‘instruction” or “teaching,” much different than the contemporary world defines the law. Moreover, it carries a “theologically centered” (Vogt, 2009, p. 26) teaching, providing for the ancient Israelites guidance in how to live in such a way that is pleasing to God (Vogt, 2009). Rather than looking at the law from a legalistic approach as is common today, it is important to understand that the Israelites received the law as a gift from God (Psalm 119:111, NIV) upon their deliverance from Egypt.

The meaning of the phrase “law of Moses” has different possible meanings. To find which of the meanings fit the text best one must look at the Hebrew context. Since there is no word for “of” in the biblical Hebrew, Hebrew uses what is called a construct chain to define what type of (possessive) relationship between two nouns. A construct chain is when two nouns are placed side by side in which the (possessive) relationship between these two nouns is expressed. In a constructive chain, the word “of” is implied because each of the nouns is side by side. Most of the time two different translations is possible, for example “law of Moses” or “Moses’ law.”

The Old Testament is the largest part of the bible nestled behind the leather binding in the front of the book. Unlike most books, told from one-person or even two this is comprised of multiple, some stories even having two different versions in another point of view; over time it has become a large collection of ancient texts written and re-written by different authors and editors over the many years. The stories show the ancient Israelites, they show the laws, and rituals, which make up their religion and the small embers, which will one day, turn to a flame that is Christianity. The Jewish people view these stories as collected in what they call the Torah, is the collection for what makes up their history and the promise that God gave to them, as well as their laws and what they worship today. For the Christians the Old Testament is still seen as sacred, but most place a stronger importance to the New Testament.

The tithing (or giving) issue is one that comes up often and that tends to bring up larger issues of law, Christian freedom, grace, generosity, faithfulness and priorities. With this issue, as is true of so many areas of the Christian life and, more specifically, church life, there is broad freedom with respect to many particular decisions or courses of action we might take, provided we take them for biblical reasons and with biblical principles in mind.

from man. As evidence, Paul, by the grace of God was called to preach the gospel to them. Paul

In the Holy Bible, which is inspired by the word of God, whom is the creator of the

Book of covenant also known as the law would be referred to as the Torah. The purpose of the Law was proved that it was impossible for mankind to achieve the law and the need of Jesus Christ’s.

Paul anticipates their objection when he asks, " Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. “ (Romans 3:31) Here, Paul is concluding that it is through our preaching that men are justified by their faith in Jesus Christ and are confirming the law. The Law of Moses directed men to Jesus Christ because according to scripture, sin was prevalent at the time. The

Moses: Unlike Jesus, I mostly direct my scriptures towards my follower but sometimes I say things that could be depicted to all of mankind. Majority of my stories are in the bible but it seems that there are a couple missing. Whether that was by accident or because it didn’t follow some of your ideas I don’t know.

“The law that God gave to Moses had many aspects – e.g., civil, dealing with the legal system of the people of God considered as a state, with courts and penalties; moral, the law of holy living; and religious, the law of the ceremonies and sacrifices.” These laws set the stage for Christ’s Law and eventually a new covenant made by Christ.

John 1:23--John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord'" (Isaiah 40:3 prophecy fulfilled).

Slavery was introduced by the Roman Empire during the era of the New Testament. In this period of time, almost half of the children born into the dynasty were quickly transformed and molded into the slaves of the current state. But unlike the ones of later times, salves of the current time period of 60 A.D. had more of a roller coaster ride with their masters, meaning that certain owners developed different relationships with them and had different views upon what was expected. The book of Ephesians, written by Paul the Apostle, was created and put forth solely or the purpose of relaying information to the church of Ephesus regarding God’s plan was to bring all authority and power to Christ himself. As he addresses different people such as children and parents, and large crowds, he reaches out to the slaves, for whom he has a soft spot.

In the reading on Paul’s take on the law it talks about a consistency within his view of the law being that no one, Jew or Gentile, can live up to the law, only Jesus can. We would never be able to live up to the law even without the traditional “eating of the fruit” fall of man, somehow we would have messed it up and needed a savior, that savior being found in Jesus.

Understanding the dynamic concept of covenant permeates everything God says in His Word and everything He does in a believer’s life. The following word study will examine the text of Exodus 19:1-8. The text begins with an obscure and severely brutalized people who are saved from slavery and are on the verge of a new covenant between God and man. The word in study is the Hebrew word האמנה, translated “covenant.”

The Law of Moses, or Moses’s Law refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, sometimes call the Pentateuch, or Torah which is a central reference of Judaism. Of the covenants found in the Pentateuch are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books contained the laws and instruction given by the Lord to Moses which establishes Israel as a nation. All five of the books are believed to be written by MosesIntroduction
