From: Susan Petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My husband has a theory on the shadow of things to come. He says that in order for there to be a shadow there has to be a real object or person casting that shadow. Jesus is the real person casting the shadow. If we take away the shadow then we take away Jesus who is casting that shadow. Suzy   jt: Suzy your husband's theory makes scientific sense but when applied to the ceremonial system given to Moses on the mount.  The real was the heavenly sanctuary and Moses was told to make everything exactly according to the pattern that was given to him ie:   "On earth there are those who offer gifts according to the Law who serve a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle for, "See He says that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain" (Exodus 25:40, Hebrews 8:4,5).   and of the heavenly.... Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us" (Hebrews 9:23,24)           --- David Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Judy wrote: > > When I say "Ceremonial Law" I believe you know > what I mean > > David - The Levitical priesthood, the Temple with > it's ritual and > > sacrifices and all of the feasts which were a > shadow of what was > > to come. > > The problem with defining "ceremonial" with that > which is a "shadow" is that > such sometimes causes a person to ignore the law. > If a certain aspect of > the law is a shadow, then we need to look hard and > long at it.  For example, > the law concerning Passover should help us > understand Christ, since Christ > is the Passover lamb. > > The seventh day Sabbath also is a shadow, just like > Passover.  Does that > mean that you consider the fourth commandment (of > the Ten Commandments) to > be ceremonial?  I really do not know how you would > answer this.  Your > response is reminiscent of the way that John and > some others react to my > questions.  I think my question is honest and > sincere and deserves to be > answered. > > Peace be with you. > David Miller. > > p.s.  Have you ever considered that marriage itself > is a shadow of our > relationship to Christ?  Nobody would argue that we > should do away with > marriage just because it is a shadow of something to > come. > > > ---------- > "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with > salt, that you may know how you ought to answer > every man."  (Colossians 4:6) > http://www.InnGlory.org > > If you do not want to receive posts from this list, > send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you > will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who > wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be > subscribed. >                        __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
