lol...because that is where HE WAS...sitting on the law which was under the mercy seat...its foundationThe heart of the Jewish religion was the "Holy of Holies".
you wish...the curtain seperating the Law from everyone but the High Priest once a year was destroyed NOT THE LAW...While Jesus was dying on the cross God tore the veil that covered the "Holy of Holies" from the top to the bottom, Matthew 27:51. This signified the end of the Old Covenant, the law and the Jewish religion.
the entirety of the second temple era the holy of Holies was EMPTY...no law...no mercy seat...NO SPIRIT...the curtain was destroyed which meant exactly no the space could be approached by any and ALL made Holy by the sufficient sacrifice of Him...the curtain was destroyed not the Law nor the temple at this time...certainly not the Spirit that had hidden behind it but NOW WAS EVERYWHERE even to the goyim...
there were jews since Judah of Isaac...their religion was the religion of israel that church in the wilderness as poor stephen called it...there was that religion before the temple...between the temples...and now after the temples...all of it not removing sin...nor salvific but there it is...some of it still pointing to HIM...HIS WAY...alas not all of itWithout the "Holy of Holies" there cannot be a Jewish religion. Judaism is a religion of law.
WRONG AGAIN...the supreme and divine irony that Paul here is actually discussing what is destroyed in order for you to approach the temple...to become full citizens of ISRAEL...its “religion”...the WAY...to no longer be strangers or foreigners living another way...but now joined together in HIS TEMPLE...HIS FAITH...IN HIMAccording to Paul the law has been abolished, Ephesians 2:15. This is why Judaism is obsolete.
the law was not human handwritten...but by the finger of Yah Himself...The reason that it was abolished is because it was contrary to us, no one could keep it or do it, Colossians 2:14.
learn the differences between covenant and Law please...We now have a New Covenant, Hebrews 8:6. The Old Covenant is forever gone, Hebrews 8:13.
yup toasted it to a room full of jews...then after signing it with His blood and sealing it forever with His death...His believers still hurried to keep the Sabbath...other festivals...kosher etc...no record of them doing anything else but OT ways...the church in the wilderness lived on...New High Priest and shepherd...new contract...same terms and goals...for the Promise...Jesus is the New Covenant.
SAME AS IN THE OLD...BY FAITH ABRAHAM...etc...et al...seriously how long do you ignore and reject thisUnder the New Covenant we are justified by faith in Jesus and not by the law.
yup it was NOT BUILT FOR THAT...but to point out sin...and to the ONE WHO CAN...it remains a shadow...PAUL CLARIFIES that in present tense Col. 2:17 Heb. 10:1The law cannot justify.
DUH"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall be no flesh justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin: Romans 3:20.
there fixed it for youThat is the purpose of the lawnowALWAYS
YUP just said that...To convict us of sin and bring us to Christ so that we can be saved.
they are not contrary...He wrote that law just as He is Lord of the Sabbath...This is what Paul meant when he said that the law is our schoolmaster that brings us to Christ, Galatians 3:24.
Think about it...Lord of London...what would it profit the Lord of London to destroy London?
You need to give up trying to keep the law and trust in Christ alone for your salvation.
Just how do you show others you are in Him? What fruits do you bare? What works of yours will you be rewarded for...which works will glorify Him?...How will you testify of Him in word and action? How are you different than before you died to yourself and became a slave to Him His way? How are you not of this world but peculiar and seperate from it? What race are you running to the end? Are you here with them that keep the commandments of Yah and the faith OF His son?
Will you hear “Well
Do you obey His commandments to abide in His love?
Faith without works is what...ask James who knew gentiles unlike you would keep crowding the synagogues on the Sabbath and hear Moses read to them...part of doing the will of Yah is hearing the game plan...then doing it
