Speaker 1: We should read our bibles as men dig for buried treasure.
Speaker 2: One of the most high game with the nations their inheritance.
Speaker 2: When He divided mankind, he fixed.
Speaker 3: The borders of people's according to the number of the
Speaker 3: sons of God.
Speaker 1: In those days and for some time after, giant Nephilites
Speaker 1: lived down to the earth. For whenever the sons of
Speaker 1: God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children
Speaker 1: who became the heroes.
Speaker 2: And famous warriors of ancient tides. Take no part in
Speaker 2: the fruitless deeds of darkness, but yet expose that though.
Speaker 4: A thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are
Speaker 4: dying around you.
Speaker 3: These ears, we are not touching lines of garden.
Speaker 2: Man, you gotta dig it. Hell, old fellow treasure hunters,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the excavation side. I'must in alongside and when
Speaker 2: we got Ben Steve even in Chad will be your
Speaker 2: guides on this excursion. Hope you brought your shovel in
Speaker 2: your compass, because we got the Maple's.
Speaker 3: Welcome Back to.
Speaker 2: Part two, Part two, Back to the Future, Back to
Speaker 2: the Future, Part three, Which one was the western one?
Speaker 2: I think that was the third one that was my favorite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they get stuck. No fuel. We got plenty of fuel.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine nowadays if if if all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: like a giant e FP went off, all technology was down,
Speaker 4: no power, no nothing, we would be screwed.
Speaker 3: It'd be rough.
Speaker 4: I mean, do you think you know him? What eighties
Speaker 4: when he liked the eighties era? Go back to Western times.
Speaker 4: They're like, uh, because it was he landed, hid the
Speaker 4: car or something. Then like cowboys come running up to
Speaker 4: him or something.
Speaker 2: Indians chasing each other, be like, what.
Speaker 4: On earth what did I step into? It's like me
Speaker 4: and basic. Yeah, I knew I was getting into and
Speaker 4: I see it was like.
Speaker 3: What did I do?
Speaker 4: What did I do to myselm? Too late?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: Ye? No quitting here.
Speaker 2: Which we were on the is the Law Dead?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Ben went and uh totally picked apart Galatians.
Speaker 4: So I didn't get to chapter six, but yeah, we
Speaker 4: picked the part relations pretty.
Speaker 2: Good, which I think the nail was pretty mean driven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that nail dead.
Speaker 3: The Law is dead?
Speaker 4: The woods beat with the hammer.
Speaker 2: Splintering everywhere, And the thing is this is a subject honestly.
Speaker 2: I mean I have a folder with like a or
Speaker 2: sixty something versus I mean, you could totally just beat
Speaker 2: the dead horse till it was dust.
Speaker 3: But you know, there's no sense in it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: But we went through you know, Galatians, Glatians. You know,
Speaker 2: Paul lays out of you know, pretty fundamental you know,
Speaker 2: foundation to you.
Speaker 3: Know, the law is dead?
Speaker 2: U WHI Yeah, I love the Book of Hebrews. You know,
Speaker 2: the Book of Hebrews goes in and gives you the wis.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we know the law is dead. So now
Speaker 2: we'll look at why or how is the law dead?
Speaker 2: And this is something that I looked over quite a bit,
Speaker 2: and when I seen it and read it, I was
Speaker 2: like it brought a whole new appreciation, you know. I
Speaker 2: mean I I've always believed that the law was dead,
Speaker 2: but once I got to digging and reading in here
Speaker 2: and seen the howls and the wise, it just it
Speaker 2: made even more impression on me. Yeah, that was kind
Speaker 2: of like me, like I said, the last episode there,
Speaker 2: I kind of was you know, the old the the
Speaker 2: Laws minus the Ten Commandments. I figured, you know, those
Speaker 2: were dead, But now I look at like all of
Speaker 2: it's dead because like you said, they're in Galatians.
Speaker 3: You know, if you.
Speaker 4: Love, you're not gonna if you love them, you're not
Speaker 4: gonna kill them, You're not gonna cheat on them. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So therefore, like we said before, it's it was a
Speaker 4: placeholder for Christ. It was, it was a guidance, it
Speaker 4: was got a tutor. The word tutor said, it's a tutor.
Speaker 2: Let's die right in. We got a lot of ground
Speaker 2: to cover. Uh So, if you turn to Hebrews chapter six,
Speaker 2: uh I'm just gonna start with the last verse because
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a segway into chapter seven. Uh So,
Speaker 2: Chapter six, verse nineteen says, we have this as a
Speaker 2: shore and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that
Speaker 2: enters into the inner place, behind the curtain where Jesus
Speaker 2: has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become
Speaker 2: a high priest forever after the order of Melchisa, dek
Speaker 2: now Melchisa, dec if you remember Abraham, after he went
Speaker 2: and saved Lot from all those men that went in
Speaker 2: and sacked Sodom Gomorrah, they took a Lot with him.
Speaker 3: As a prisoner.
Speaker 2: So Abraham got his mighty three hundred men and went
Speaker 2: after and defeated these mighty kings in their armies and
Speaker 2: got lot back and all the things that they had stolen.
Speaker 2: And on the way back they bumped into this mysterious
Speaker 2: guy called Melkisa dec And this is the first time
Speaker 2: that in scripture we ever see that someone holds the
Speaker 2: title of not only priest but king. It said that
Speaker 2: mel Keis Dick was, uh the king and priest of Salem,
Speaker 2: you know, and in English Salem you knows peace.
Speaker 3: You know, he was the king and uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah says priest of peace.
Speaker 4: Chapter seven that says king of Peace.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So uh.
Speaker 2: In my notes for that it says, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: this is in my opinion, and a lot of scholars,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, align with this view. You know,
Speaker 2: this is Christ prefigured or what they'd like to call
Speaker 2: a Christophane. Uh know, ye not that ye are the
Speaker 2: temple of God in the spirit of God was within you.
Speaker 2: Behind the curtain was the holiest of holies. There was
Speaker 2: only the high Priest that could enter. Jesus is that
Speaker 2: high priest and the Holy of Holies is your heart
Speaker 2: now with the New Covenant, right, So, when we talked
Speaker 2: about the veil being torn, you know, in the last episode,
Speaker 2: and what that meant. So when we get into chapter seven, heaven.
Speaker 2: The subtitle says, uh, the priestly order of Melchisa dec.
Speaker 4: Mine says, makesk is greater than Abraham.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if it is in fact Jesus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So it says, for this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest
Speaker 2: of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the
Speaker 2: slaughter of the kings and blessed him. Now I have
Speaker 2: like a little notation here on Keisad says Jesus, who
Speaker 2: was the word?
Speaker 3: From John?
Speaker 2: We know that in the beginning was the word. The
Speaker 2: word was with God, and that the word was God
Speaker 2: equaling Jesus. So before he was born of water, you know,
Speaker 2: which it refers to. You know, a natural birth. You know,
Speaker 2: a woman's word breaks and you come forth. You know,
Speaker 2: he was of spirit made flesh. So before this birth
Speaker 2: he had no mother or father, without beginning or end,
Speaker 2: and remains a priest forever. As Melchisedek is described in
Speaker 2: the verses found here. When you go back to that account,
Speaker 2: it's in Genesis chapter fourteen, verse eighteen. It says Abraham
Speaker 2: has a run in with him, this king and priest,
Speaker 2: the same titles given to Adam at creation after Abraham
Speaker 2: gives him the spoils of the war. This man brings
Speaker 2: out what the bread and the wine, just like Jesus
Speaker 2: said the last said, Yeah, what does Abraham bring out
Speaker 2: before God himself and the two angels before they go
Speaker 2: and destroy Sodom?
Speaker 3: Bread and wine? Wasn't it?
Speaker 2: What did Jesus himself present at the Last Supper? It
Speaker 2: is bread and wine, wasn't it. Following the Crucifixion, disciples
Speaker 2: running to this stranger who seems to have a lot
Speaker 2: of history and scriptures, they invite him in. They did
Speaker 2: not know it was him until he took out the
Speaker 2: bread and why. It was then that they could see
Speaker 2: the holes in his hands. Also, for Christ to write
Speaker 2: into Jerusalem as the returning king, that would mean that.
Speaker 3: He would have to have ruled before right, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Some believe this is Shim, Noah's son. Shim in Hebrew
Speaker 2: is the hidden name of God. For this, if this
Speaker 2: be Jesus a friend to Abraham and Shim, that he
Speaker 2: may set up the very order through which he came
Speaker 2: and though which he comes again in the end, perhaps
Speaker 2: that prophecy may be fulfilled. I am the First and
Speaker 2: the last, the beginning and the end, the name that
Speaker 2: reigns forever. So that's just a little background on the
Speaker 2: Malkisa deck.
Speaker 4: That's the same time, you know, Jesus showed up in
Speaker 4: the fiery furnace.
Speaker 2: Where else uh when uh he was going to sacrifice Isaac.
Speaker 2: It says the Angel of the Lord Jesus appeared and
Speaker 2: that was a foreshadow of the cross, and gave gave him.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 4: Wasn't there a lamb or something?
Speaker 2: Yeah, or said he would he would provide to sacrifice
Speaker 2: or something. So so you know, so saying this character
Speaker 2: may or may not be Jesus is not far fetched. No, So,
Speaker 2: I mean if he showed up multiple times in the
Speaker 2: Old Testament. Yeah, and and what a lot of scholars
Speaker 2: and stuff they call it a christophany.
Speaker 3: That's a big word, Yeah, christophany.
Speaker 2: But going on in verse two, it says, and to
Speaker 2: him Abraham portioned a tenth part of everything. He is
Speaker 2: first by a translation of his name, king of righteousness,
Speaker 2: and then he is also King of Salem, that is,
Speaker 2: king of peace. He is without father or mother or genealogy,
Speaker 2: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but
Speaker 2: resembling the Son of God. He continues a priest forever
Speaker 2: that doesn't sound like any human man I've ever met
Speaker 2: that beginning or end, mother or father reigns forever. Verse four.
Speaker 2: See how great this man was, to whom Abraham the
Speaker 2: patriarch gave a tenth.
Speaker 3: Of the spoils of battle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and those descendants of Levi who received the priestly
Speaker 2: office have a commandment in the law to take tenths
Speaker 2: from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these
Speaker 2: also are descended from Abraham. But this man, who does
Speaker 2: not have his descent from them, receive tithes from Abraham
Speaker 2: and blessed him who had the promise. It is beyond
Speaker 2: dispute that the inferior is.
Speaker 3: Blessed by the superior.
Speaker 2: In the one case, tithes are received by mortal men,
Speaker 2: but in the other case by one of whom it
Speaker 2: is testified that he lives. Verse nine. One might even
Speaker 2: say that leave himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,
Speaker 2: for he was still in the loins of his ancestor
Speaker 2: when Melchisedek met him talking about Abraham. Right, Okay, this
Speaker 2: subtitle for verse eleven Jesus compared to Melchisedec.
Speaker 3: Here's where the author draws the parallels.
Speaker 2: Now, if perfection had been attainable through the levitical priestlihood, okay,
Speaker 2: for under it the people received the what the law?
Speaker 2: What further need will there have been for another priest
Speaker 2: to arise after the order of Melchisa Dick rather than
Speaker 2: one named after the order of Aaron Verse twelve, Mine
Speaker 2: says order of Levi and Aaron. Yeah, for when there
Speaker 2: is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a
Speaker 2: change in the law as well. So my notes that
Speaker 2: says this is why Jesus was the returning king. The
Speaker 2: law was being changed, and that's why the Pharisees bucked
Speaker 2: so hard. A new covenant slash law was coming and
Speaker 2: with it a new priest and King Jesus Christ then
Speaker 2: be obsolete and lose all their important status.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's us unsafe. I mean you gotta look at it.
Speaker 4: You know, their whole their whole livelihood is being a.
Speaker 3: Priest getting paid the teachers of Israel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they would be obsolete if there's this new law.
Speaker 4: It's almost like you're trying to.
Speaker 3: The power struggle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why they rejected. They would they would be
Speaker 2: nobody's in this new system. Okay, So the verse thirty
Speaker 2: think could be somebody's Oh yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Think.
Speaker 4: I mean, look at look at Paul. They could have
Speaker 4: been a Paul, and how much more benefit would they
Speaker 4: have been.
Speaker 3: But look at Paul.
Speaker 2: Though he traveled around town to town only off the
Speaker 2: arms that he was given, I only had a place
Speaker 2: to stay when people took him in. These Pharisees, they
Speaker 2: were the richest the people and the thing.
Speaker 3: Was all the money.
Speaker 4: And Paul used to so he knows that life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's seen both sides of.
Speaker 4: The that's even. I mean I heard all, you know.
Speaker 4: He was like, Oh, there's you're you're full of it.
Speaker 4: There ain't no you know, there ain't no Jesus, There
Speaker 4: ain't no God. That's just something someone's trying to bring one.
Speaker 4: Why would Paul give up everything for nothing?
Speaker 2: And why would all these martyrs yeah be killed. All
Speaker 2: they had to do was denounce it, Yeah, over a
Speaker 2: joke or something. Yeah, you know, so that they died
Speaker 2: that's bull. Yeah, you know, we're getting off of that.
Speaker 2: Verse thirteen. For the one of whom these things are
Speaker 2: spoken belonged to another tribe from which no one has
Speaker 2: ever served at the altar. For it is evident that
Speaker 2: our lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with
Speaker 2: that tribe, Moses said nothing about the priests. This becomes
Speaker 2: even more evident when another priest arises, in the likeness
Speaker 2: of Melchisedek, who has become a priest, not on the
Speaker 2: basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily dissent, but by
Speaker 2: the power of the indestructible life. For it is witnessed
Speaker 2: of him. You are a priest forever after the order
Speaker 2: of Melchisedek. This is Jesus Christ verse eighteen. For on
Speaker 2: the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because
Speaker 2: of its weakness and uselessness, for the law made nothing perfect.
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, a better hope is introduced,
Speaker 2: through which we draw near to God verse twenty. And
Speaker 2: it was not without an oath, For those who formerly
Speaker 2: became priests were made such without an oath. But this
Speaker 2: one was made a priest with an oath by the
Speaker 2: one who said to him, the Lord has sworn and
Speaker 2: will not change his mind. You are a priest forever.
Speaker 2: This makes Jesus a granture of the better covenant. The
Speaker 2: former priests were many in number because they were prevented
Speaker 2: by death from continuing in office, but he holds his
Speaker 2: priesthood permanently because he continues forever. Consequently, he is.
Speaker 3: Able to save to the up most who.
Speaker 2: Draws near to God through him, since he always lives,
Speaker 2: to make intercession for them.
Speaker 4: In my translation the NLT it actually says, instead of
Speaker 4: he says, but because Jesus lives forever, instead of he
Speaker 4: lives forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they know twenty six.
Speaker 2: For it was indeed fitting that we should have such
Speaker 2: a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and
Speaker 2: exalted above all the heavens.
Speaker 3: He has no need like those.
Speaker 2: High priests to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own
Speaker 2: sins and then for those of the people, since he
Speaker 2: did this once for all when he offered up himself.
Speaker 2: For the Law appoints men in their weakness as high priests.
Speaker 2: But the word of the Oath, which came later than
Speaker 2: the law, appoints a son who has been made perfect forever.
Speaker 4: You know, the new priest, Jesus, high priest forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, under the New Covenant. Ye Chapter eight, Jesus, the
Speaker 2: high Priest of a better Covenant. Now, the point in
Speaker 2: what we are saying is this, we have such a
Speaker 2: high priest, one who is seated at the right hand
Speaker 2: of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, which goes
Speaker 2: back to that Satan episode we did, and Satan was
Speaker 2: at the right hand. When Jesus ascended, he went to
Speaker 2: the right hand. So therefore Satan was thrown down because
Speaker 2: what there was no longer a place for him. Jesus
Speaker 2: took it verse two, a minister in the holy places,
Speaker 2: in the true tint that the Lord has set up,
Speaker 2: not man. So what's the true tint? We are now
Speaker 2: the temple of God in this new COVID Verse three,
Speaker 2: for every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices.
Speaker 3: Thus it is necessary for this.
Speaker 2: Priest also to have something to offer. Now if he
Speaker 2: were on earth, he would not be a priest at all,
Speaker 2: since there are priests who offered gifts.
Speaker 3: According to the law.
Speaker 2: When I read this and it talked about the giving
Speaker 2: of gifts, okay, okay, it made me think, I'm like,
Speaker 2: where else have I heard that? Well, Jesus's resurrection in
Speaker 2: Ephesians it talks about that when he arose, he led
Speaker 2: a host of captives and giving gifts to men. So
Speaker 2: this is where that all ties in together. It's a
Speaker 2: priestly thing. So right here, it says, remember in Ephesians,
Speaker 2: we were the captives. Yeah, and see that. Here's what
Speaker 2: I always got it to an old law guests, sir, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 2: he's the punchline killer. Remember when Ephesians chapter four, verse eight,
Speaker 2: and Jesus with he ascended on high, he led a
Speaker 2: host of captives free and giving gifts to men. This
Speaker 2: covers the gifts part. His gift was salvation, and as
Speaker 2: high priest at the right hand of the Father, he
Speaker 2: offers sacrifice an intercession for us. Now what about the
Speaker 2: captives that he led Galatians chapter three, verse twenty three.
Speaker 2: Before faith came, we were held captive under the law,
Speaker 2: imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. Galatians chapter three,
Speaker 2: verse ten. The law is a curse Galatians chapter three,
Speaker 2: verse thirteen. Christ redeemed us from.
Speaker 3: The curse of the law.
Speaker 2: First Corinthians chapter fifteen, verse fifty four through fifty seven.
Speaker 2: The law was a death sentence. Romans chapter eight, verse
Speaker 2: two through four. For the law of the spirit of
Speaker 2: life has set you free. In Christ Jesus from the
Speaker 2: law of sin and death.
Speaker 4: So therefore, what you're saying is if the old law
Speaker 4: is the law of death because we sin, so it's
Speaker 4: the law of sin and the law of death, that
Speaker 4: Christ is the answer.
Speaker 3: He's the life. But he said that, didn't he I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure I'm the way. I am the true truth
Speaker 3: in life.
Speaker 2: No man coming to the Father except through me, not
Speaker 2: by the law, not by your works.
Speaker 3: Me and me alone. I am enough. Yep. But I
Speaker 3: thought that was so cool. I was like burning this down, yeah,
Speaker 3: man to the ground. Uh.
Speaker 2: But when I read that, dude, that was just such
Speaker 2: a mind blowing thing. I was like, God, thank you
Speaker 2: for showing me that. Yeah, because I've read that for
Speaker 2: years and I always looked at it. It was my
Speaker 2: spiritual lens because I mean, you know, I mean I
Speaker 2: love the whole Juterrooy thirty two Worldview, the Falling Angel,
Speaker 2: stuff like that when it talks about he went in
Speaker 2: and uh the depths of she old and proclaimed that
Speaker 2: the prisoners, you know, in prison. But then when he ascended,
Speaker 2: that's when he went into heaven to be this high
Speaker 2: priest and intercede for us.
Speaker 3: It said he led a host of captives free.
Speaker 2: And I read people saying Oh, well, that's you know,
Speaker 2: like the Romans when they defeated somebody, they would parade
Speaker 2: the captives, you know, as a victory dance.
Speaker 4: That they made them.
Speaker 2: Maybe he kept the fallen angels in chains, but just
Speaker 2: paraded them around heaven. Like, hey, look what I've done.
Speaker 2: And I've heard so many just crazy, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, stuff that really didn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2: But then I've seen that. I was like, that makes
Speaker 2: perfect sense. We are the captives and now we.
Speaker 4: Are free, free from the law.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I don't I don't see parading the I
Speaker 4: mean they've been in prison for how long? Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that battle was won a long time ago. What's
Speaker 2: the point in victory dance?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Hey, look we uh we beat Germany the first time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's doing a parade for yeah, the
Speaker 2: world wars now.
Speaker 3: Going ahead.
Speaker 2: Verse five says they serve a copy and shahadow of
Speaker 2: the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect
Speaker 2: the tent, he was instructed by God saying, see that
Speaker 2: you make everything according to the pattern that was shown
Speaker 2: to you on the mountain. So you know this is
Speaker 2: you know the tabernacle and temple were modeled after the
Speaker 2: one in heaven. You know, it's that whole on earth
Speaker 2: as it is in heaven. Theology, you know, they were
Speaker 2: also mirroring creation, you know creation. To the Jewish people,
Speaker 2: it was Earth was God's temple. Earth was God's temple.
Speaker 2: It was mirroring the heavenly things. You know, every temple
Speaker 2: has what it has priests, And in Exodus that says,
Speaker 2: I'm calling you to be a nation of priests. So
Speaker 2: the priests were covered in the temple, which is earth.
Speaker 2: And what else does the temple have? It has graven images. Right,
Speaker 2: That's why it says you are the imagers of God.
Speaker 2: You were made in his image. So therefore all the
Speaker 2: things of a temple were in creation. That's why he
Speaker 2: even said, unto you, you will make no graving image,
Speaker 2: of course, not to serve no of the gods, but
Speaker 2: because you are the image of God on earth as
Speaker 2: it is in heaven. It's a mirrored thing verse six.
Speaker 2: But as it is, Jesus Christ has obtained a ministry
Speaker 2: that is as much more excellent than the old as
Speaker 2: the covenant he mediates is better since it is enacted
Speaker 2: on better promises for if that first covenant had been faultless,
Speaker 2: there would not have been no occasion to look for
Speaker 2: a second. For it, he finds fault with them when
Speaker 2: he says, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
Speaker 2: when I will establish a new covenant with the House
Speaker 2: of Israel and with the House of Judah, not like
Speaker 2: the covenant that I have made with their fathers on
Speaker 2: the day when I took them by the hand to
Speaker 2: bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they
Speaker 2: did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed
Speaker 2: no concern for them.
Speaker 3: Declares the Lord. For this is the.
Speaker 2: Covenant that I will make with the House of Israel
Speaker 2: after those days, declares the Lord. I will put my
Speaker 2: laws into their minds. I'll write them on their hearts,
Speaker 2: and I will be their God, and they shall be
Speaker 2: my people. And they shall not teach each other his neighbor,
Speaker 2: and each one his brothers, saying, know the Lord, for
Speaker 2: they shall all know me, from the least of them
Speaker 2: to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
Speaker 2: and I will remember their sins no more.
Speaker 3: Verse thirteen.
Speaker 2: In speaking of the new covenant, he makes the first
Speaker 2: one obsolete.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's clear as they right there.
Speaker 2: And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready
Speaker 2: to vanish away verse ten.
Speaker 3: Four through six.
Speaker 4: Chapter ten, you mean, yeah, Chapter ten.
Speaker 2: Verse four, For it is impossible for the blood of
Speaker 2: bulls and goats to take away sins. Consequently, when Christ
Speaker 2: came into the world, he said, sacrifices and offerings you
Speaker 2: have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me?
Speaker 2: In burned offerings and sin offerings? You have taken no pleasure.
Speaker 2: And we already talked about how the talment records, you know,
Speaker 2: the day of atonement, the bloodstained scarf stop, and why
Speaker 2: the bell ripped into all those things? I mean, and
Speaker 2: I love to the acts. Chapter seventeen, verse thirty gets
Speaker 2: rid of anybody's ignorance because it says plainly, it says
Speaker 2: the times of ignorance, which is the time of the
Speaker 2: law God overlooked. But now he commands all people everywhere
Speaker 2: to repent. You know, the time of ignorance is over.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Because if you didn't have the law, you
Speaker 4: didn't know law. I guess that would be ignorance. Ignorant
Speaker 4: means you don't know, right yeah. So unless you knew.
Speaker 4: Maybe you wasn't held accountable or something. I don't know,
Speaker 4: you know, because what you say, six hundred something, six
Speaker 4: hundred and thirteen, that's insane, pretty hefty list. Well, I mean,
Speaker 4: look at the laws in America. Yeah, there needs to
Speaker 4: be like four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but see, the writers of the New Testament saw
Speaker 2: that the tour appointed to a new and better cabinet.
Speaker 2: Genesis chapter nine, three through four. We talked about in
Speaker 2: the flood episode before the law, Noah could eat everything
Speaker 2: moving or this is a direct quote, everything moving, every
Speaker 2: moving thing that lives. Right, he said, yeah, this was
Speaker 2: you know, ye off the boat.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Romans chapter three, twenty one through twenty four. The righteousness
Speaker 2: of God has been manifested apart from the law, although
Speaker 2: the law and the prophets bear witness to it. Romans
Speaker 2: Chapter four, verse three through five and Chapter four, verse thirteen.
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about this in Galatians. He says,
Speaker 2: you know, Abraham believed and it was counted into him
Speaker 2: as righteousness. The promise to Abraham didn't come through the law,
Speaker 2: but through the righteousness of faith. Romans, chapter two, twenty nine.
Speaker 2: But a Jew is one inwardly circumcision is a matter
Speaker 2: of the heart.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: An extra biblical book Jubileeze chapter one, verse twenty three,
Speaker 2: and this is Old Testament says I shall cut off
Speaker 2: the foreskin of their hearts for a new covenant. John
Speaker 2: chapter one, verse seventeen. The law was given through Moses.
Speaker 2: Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: And I like to like pick apart some little things
Speaker 2: because you know, it says, so all food is clean.
Speaker 2: Now I don't have to kill goats, lambs, and pigeons
Speaker 2: no more.
Speaker 3: Where does it?
Speaker 2: You know, specifically say that at Matthew chapter fifteen, verse
Speaker 2: seventeen through twenty, Jesus himself said, nothing that goes into
Speaker 2: the mouth can defile a person, but what comes out
Speaker 2: of the mouth can. What comes out of the mouth
Speaker 2: comes from the heart. So yeah, he's saying, you know,
Speaker 2: the food system.
Speaker 4: Gods you put in, it's what comes out, you know.
Speaker 2: Mark seventeen, verse fourteen through fifteen. It's the same retelling
Speaker 2: of that same story I just mentioned, you know, food,
Speaker 2: There is no laws on food no more. One Timothy
Speaker 2: chapter four, verse one through five. Deceitful spirits and demons
Speaker 2: teach requirements of absin from foods that God created to
Speaker 2: be received with thanksgiving. It's wicked teaching. It says right
Speaker 2: there in one Timothy Matthew Chapter twelve, verse seven, that
Speaker 2: is our mercy, not sacrifice. You know. Romans chapter ten,
Speaker 2: verse four. You know, Christ was the end of the law.
Speaker 2: It specifically says that. But then you get some of
Speaker 2: the people that try to be coy and they're like,
Speaker 2: oh so when we kind of touched on it lightly,
Speaker 2: but I'll hit verses with it, you know, fight it
Speaker 2: with the scripture says, so we just throw out the
Speaker 2: law keep sinning because you know, all's.
Speaker 3: For given now, it's just for given to who cares.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and let's you know, if we're being
Speaker 2: honest with each other, let's not be coy, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? With the you know, do we just
Speaker 2: keep on sinning? Romans chapter three, It is not. Verse
Speaker 2: thirty one. Paul says, do we overthrow the law which
Speaker 2: is we talked about earlier. The Torah is what that
Speaker 2: word is, it's Torah. By this faith by no means
Speaker 2: we uphold the law which is the Torah. The Torah
Speaker 2: has good sound, moral each we don't throw it away.
Speaker 2: We should strive to be better every day, but it's
Speaker 2: no longer required to please God. Here is why a
Speaker 2: new covenant had to come.
Speaker 4: And that's I mean, that would be one of the
Speaker 4: verses you take out of context. Oh, the old law
Speaker 4: still there. That's not what he's saying. He's saying, of course,
Speaker 4: the old law still has truth. You know, Burting somebody
Speaker 4: is not a good thing to do.
Speaker 2: Like we keep saying.
Speaker 4: Yes, your parents check quest. I tell you right now,
Speaker 4: you tell my boys what disobeying me get someone? They
Speaker 4: do not like it.
Speaker 2: Romans Chapter two, twenty three and twenty five. You who
Speaker 2: boast in the law dishonored God by breaking the law.
Speaker 2: The name of God is blasphemed among the gentiles because
Speaker 2: of you. Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey
Speaker 2: the law. But when not, if you break the law,
Speaker 2: your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
Speaker 4: They talk about circumcision a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the heart and the real one.
Speaker 4: I guess it is cleaner.
Speaker 2: Yes, Romans three, verse twenty seven. What becomes of boasting
Speaker 2: by what kind of law? By the law of works? No,
Speaker 2: but by the law of faith. That's worth bragging about about.
Speaker 2: A gift that's freely given that you could never earn.
Speaker 2: You know, Romans, chapter four, verse fifteen. The law brings wrath.
Speaker 2: Where there is no law, there is no transgression. And
Speaker 2: I got a star beside. Romans Chapter six, verse fourteen
Speaker 2: and fifteen. It says, for sin will have no dominion
Speaker 2: over for you, since you are not under law but
Speaker 2: under grace. What then are we to sin? Because we
Speaker 2: are not under the law but under grace by no means?
Speaker 2: You know, it says plainly here that we are not
Speaker 2: under the law but grace. But with that being said,
Speaker 2: we should not continue to sin, because God will forgive
Speaker 2: us the laws good and world teaching, except for the
Speaker 2: whole not you know, cutting your hair, shaving your beard,
Speaker 2: or eating pigs or fish without scales. Those were to
Speaker 2: set his people apart in a crowd and try to
Speaker 2: keep them healthy. Pigs and fish without scales, or filthy
Speaker 2: creatures and bottom feeders of the land and the sea.
Speaker 2: You know you touched on that earlier. You know that
Speaker 2: you know that can carry you know, diseases potentially. You know,
Speaker 2: just because we can never achieve perfection doesn't mean that
Speaker 2: we should stop striving to be better people. Slash images
Speaker 2: of God, but one I really of Matthew chapter eleven,
Speaker 2: twenty eight through thirty. It says, my yoke is easy,
Speaker 2: my burden is light. This is Jesus, this is read letters.
Speaker 2: You know, the law was heavy, you know, and Christ
Speaker 2: is saying that, you know, my salvation, my gift is light.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, why.
Speaker 4: Would you want to go back to do is accept it?
Speaker 2: What talks about the crowns.
Speaker 3: And stuff you receive?
Speaker 2: You know, I'd tell my wife kind of joking, jokingly,
Speaker 2: I'm like, heaven is not communism or socialism. I guess
Speaker 2: everybody gets the same pay, everybody gets the same house.
Speaker 3: Now you earn it.
Speaker 4: It's like this right here. Okay, so in the military
Speaker 4: you get paid for your rank. Right but if you
Speaker 4: do some good analogy, if you do something outstanding, you
Speaker 4: get an award. Okay, So you could be in the
Speaker 4: military for twenty years, you retire at twenty years soon
Speaker 4: to be in the military for twenty years, and you
Speaker 4: just you're just a little sergeant who's just did what
Speaker 4: the bare minium you could do just to stay in
Speaker 4: the army. You might have a couple of ribbons on,
Speaker 4: you know, a couple of medal ribbons, on your uniform.
Speaker 4: And then you got this guy who's went above and beyond,
Speaker 4: you know, who might be a master sergeant or a
Speaker 4: first sergeant, you know, st major. You know those are
Speaker 4: higher rankings. If you don't know militariats, well you get that,
Speaker 4: but their their ribbon rack is huge. And when you
Speaker 4: go to like a ball before you deploy, or it's
Speaker 4: a ball, you know, you wear your dress uniforms with
Speaker 4: your ribbons on your uniform, oh your showcase. So which
Speaker 4: one do you want to be the guy who barely
Speaker 4: skated by with a couple of ribbons or do you
Speaker 4: want to be the guy who's made it through life
Speaker 4: the best he could do and has all these ribbons
Speaker 4: to show for it, you know. And that's that's kind
Speaker 4: of an analogy to you know, represent Heaven, I guess,
Speaker 4: because it's you know, you can make it in with
Speaker 4: the you.
Speaker 2: Know, bari minimum, your bare minimum on fire coming through
Speaker 2: the gate, or you can walk in with crowns upon
Speaker 2: crowns to offer Jesus back, because that's what it says, right,
Speaker 2: you give them back to Jesus, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So do you want something to offer or not?
Speaker 2: You know, but I like where it talks about you know,
Speaker 2: you know, he's saying his yoke is light because in
Speaker 2: Acts chapter fifteen, these Judaizers, like we talked about, we're
Speaker 2: saying all these gentiles, you know, they need to be circumcised,
Speaker 2: they need to be following the wall and you know,
Speaker 2: yeah Jesus, Yeah, that stuff's real, you know, but it's
Speaker 2: not enough. You still need to do all this and
Speaker 2: this is you know, his response down here in verse
Speaker 2: ten is just amazing, he says, his responding to all
Speaker 2: these Judaizers talking to the gentiles. He says, now, therefore,
Speaker 2: why are you putting God to the test by placing
Speaker 2: a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither
Speaker 2: our fathers nor we have been able to bear. But
Speaker 2: we believe that we will be saved to the grace
Speaker 2: of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's saying, you know, why are you trying to
Speaker 2: put a heavy burden on these people that even us
Speaker 2: and our forefathers couldn't bear. You're setting them up for failure.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and that's not what you're supposed to do. No,
Speaker 4: that's not loving, is it? No?
Speaker 2: Which to finish up? And I can admit. Okay, I
Speaker 2: could admit, like I said in the first one. When
Speaker 2: I first started and this it was to prove a point.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: But then when I read the man, it just humbled
Speaker 2: me and brought it to a whole new light for me. So,
Speaker 2: you know, you do get the people that they're kind
Speaker 2: of coy.
Speaker 3: With you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Smarty Pants is like, oh, so we just we can
Speaker 2: just keep on sin and I mean, hey, you know, no,
Speaker 2: of course not, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And they don't believe that neither.
Speaker 4: They don't. They're just trying to.
Speaker 3: So I got some answer back. I guess, some answer backs.
Speaker 2: I guess some halo backs, some halabacker. So see if
Speaker 2: somebody's like, wait a minute, I just googled these verses.
Speaker 2: Explain these in defense of the law. John fourteen, Verse
Speaker 2: twenty one. Whoever keeps my commandments, he it is who
Speaker 2: loves me. So if you're not keeping the commandments, then
Speaker 2: you don't love Jesus. It says it right there.
Speaker 4: What's your response, Well, which commandment are do you keeping?
Speaker 3: What comandment did he give us?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm pretty sure he said to love.
Speaker 2: That's the least talking about love fulfills the law. Yeah,
Speaker 2: heat talking about thirteen yourself? No, so therefore, yeah, google
Speaker 2: another one. Okay, so let's google google another one. We
Speaker 2: come up with Matthew Chapter five, starting at verse seventeen,
Speaker 2: and this is Jesus read letters. He says, do not
Speaker 2: think that I have come to abolish the law or
Speaker 2: the prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but
Speaker 2: to fulfill them. He just says, right there, he's not
Speaker 2: abolishing the law.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, if he fulfills the law, then the law's
Speaker 4: took and care is completed. Right.
Speaker 3: You fulfill something, you're completed, it's done.
Speaker 4: So when you complete digging a hole, you don't still
Speaker 4: dig a hole, do you now, So if it's fulfilled,
Speaker 4: if it's completed, it's no longer.
Speaker 2: And the thing is too is the law is what
Speaker 2: we just read and talked about in episode one.
Speaker 3: It's the Torah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I said the other part of it was
Speaker 2: the prophets. It says both of them together here, so
Speaker 2: it's talking about the story right of the Old Testament.
Speaker 2: The law or the prophets. Says he's come to fulfill them.
Speaker 3: So therefore it's completed.
Speaker 2: Over, it's finished, and then it's just like we read
Speaker 2: in gulations.
Speaker 4: I mean it was there as as a guideline, as
Speaker 4: a directional path to set you up for when Jesus come.
Speaker 2: And then they want to use the next two verses
Speaker 2: right after it eighteen For truly, I say to you,
Speaker 2: until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not
Speaker 2: a dot, will pass away from the law until it
Speaker 2: is all accomplished. But if God, if you just come,
Speaker 2: it was accomplished, right, it was, yeah, duh fulfilled. It
Speaker 2: was accomplished. Okay.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, if Christ said, like we
Speaker 4: mentioned already, he's come to fulfill the law. So it's done.
Speaker 4: We've already read that the old law, the old Covenant's over,
Speaker 4: and now we have a new one. They got these
Speaker 4: love each other, man.
Speaker 2: But I hate how people will cherry pick and then
Speaker 2: leave out the last part of it. What's the last
Speaker 2: part say? It says, yeah, until heaven and earth passed away,
Speaker 2: not one iota, not a dot will pass away from
Speaker 2: the law. What's the last four words say, until all
Speaker 2: is accomplished? And what he means by all's accomplished? All
Speaker 2: the prophecies of the Old Testament that pointed.
Speaker 4: To Jesus yep, and they're done.
Speaker 2: They're done, He's done king. And then the next verse
Speaker 2: nineteen and here's where we talked about the whole you know,
Speaker 2: the heaven socialism and the Ribbons analogy to use the military,
Speaker 2: and now use this one too. Therefore, whoever relaxes one
Speaker 2: of the least of these commandments and teaches others to
Speaker 2: do the same will be called least in the Kingdom
Speaker 2: of Heaven. But whoever does them and teaches them will
Speaker 2: be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Speaker 4: So so therefore, if you become saved, and you just like, psh,
Speaker 4: I'm saved, I'm saved.
Speaker 2: Whatever that will do, that will you're forgiven. No, you're
Speaker 2: gonna be the least. You're gonna barely make it in.
Speaker 2: But if you keep going the.
Speaker 4: Way God, the way God's path is showing you to go,
Speaker 4: and you bear make sure it's God's path, not the
Speaker 4: devil's path, because like we my favor. One of my
Speaker 4: favorite sayings, if he can sweep angels out of heaven,
Speaker 4: he can talk us into anything. So you gotta be careful.
Speaker 4: But if you're going the right way, doing what he
Speaker 4: wants you to do, you're gonna create, You're gonna get
Speaker 4: more ribbons of accomplishment of you did this, you did that.
Speaker 2: And the thing is too is like with people that
Speaker 2: bring that up, they skip the verse twenty. It says,
Speaker 2: for I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of
Speaker 2: the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom
Speaker 2: of heaven. So what he's saying is is, well, the
Speaker 2: scribes and the Pharisees, they pride of themselves and bragged
Speaker 2: in the law their works. They were supposed to be
Speaker 2: the holiest men on earth, but they were even falling short.
Speaker 2: And they're not gonna make it. Because that's what he says.
Speaker 2: There is is for I tell you, unless your righteousness
Speaker 2: exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never
Speaker 2: enter the Kingdom of heaven because you don't get there
Speaker 2: by works or the law and the way, the truth
Speaker 2: and the life. No man coming to the Father except
Speaker 2: through men. And he did it because we couldn't, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like the dinner reference, he paid.
Speaker 4: The bill and it was but he was he didn't
Speaker 4: have to pay for nothing. No, you know, it wasn't
Speaker 4: his for exactly he knew we didn't have the money
Speaker 4: to pay for it, so he paid for us and
Speaker 4: for us to try to try.
Speaker 3: To brag and burst in the laws.
Speaker 4: Our own do our own spirit in his face, to
Speaker 4: justify our own selves because we know we don't deserve it.
Speaker 4: So that's all that is works, is just you trying
Speaker 4: to justify to yourself that you've got something that you
Speaker 4: don't deserve.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to please your ego.
Speaker 4: But that's not what That's not what needs to be done,
Speaker 4: because it's a slap in the face.
Speaker 2: Well, if you got anything else to add, you got
Speaker 2: any more thingy notes?
Speaker 4: Not in the notes, I have more to add, but
Speaker 4: we bear not.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I will close with this politically. But Matthew,
Speaker 2: Chapter nine, verse seventeen, Okay, this is red letters is geesus.
Speaker 3: He said, either is.
Speaker 2: New wine put into old wine skins. If it is,
Speaker 2: the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the
Speaker 2: skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh
Speaker 2: wine skins.
Speaker 3: And so both are preserved.
Speaker 2: You know, to me, it's pretty clear cut. The new
Speaker 2: wine is the is the Gentiles the new Covenant? Or
Speaker 2: is the Gentiles?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: It says, so the Gentiles, it says, the new wine
Speaker 2: is not put into old wine skins. The new believers
Speaker 2: are not put into the old law, because if it is,
Speaker 2: it says, the skins will burst and the wine will
Speaker 2: be spilled and destroyed. So if you try to, if
Speaker 2: you take Gentiles new wine and put us into the
Speaker 2: old law, we're destined to fail and we'll fall to
Speaker 2: the ground. And then in the process the law will
Speaker 2: be destroyed too, because nobody can fulfill it. So therefore
Speaker 2: Jesus says, new wine is put into fresh wine skins,
Speaker 2: so both.
Speaker 3: May be preserved.
Speaker 4: It's a good analogy.
Speaker 2: Something new happened at the Cross, and God and his
Speaker 2: word screams it at you. And in my humble opinion,
Speaker 2: you're deaf and blind if you don't see it.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's that's about.
Speaker 2: Say.
Speaker 4: If you ain't got it so far, then I don't
Speaker 4: think we can the other.
Speaker 2: Way, all right, Love you guys, Thank you for tuning in,
Speaker 2: Keep digging, and let's all work on being better images
Speaker 2: of God and love and one another.
Speaker 3: I think that's what we should take from this.
Speaker 4: See you next time and see you later.
