"Let no (pagan) therefore judge you..."

[Paul Younan]

As my friend Thirdwoe said, Paul went into deeper detail on the nature and duration of the Torah of Moses. Jesus is the initiator of a new and greater covenant, and this is not to say that Paul was "anti-Torah" as many Jewish people claim Christians are. Paul didn't teach that the Law was evil, but that it was superseded by the precious atonement by the blood of our God Jesus Christ.

I never ceased to be amazed that this debate continues to this day nearly 20 centuries after the temple system, along with the old priesthood, was destroyed. So much of the old covenant of course revolved around the tabernacle and later the temple and it's earthly priesthood and rituals. All of which are long dead and gone. Exactly as Meshikha said it would be.

Yet, we still have people worrying about which day of the week they should "keep" (whatever that means) and which foods are ok to eat.

It's as if they purposely ignore the message and the meaning of the new covenant. The Jews themselves couldn't keep the law, yet some people (Jewish and Gentile) still persist in shoving it down everyone else's throats.

Amazing.
