Hebrews 8 - The Old Covenant Is Obsolete - Steve Gregg

- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- thenarrowpath.com | In this talk, Steve Gregg explores the concept of the new covenant in Hebrews chapter eight. He contrasts the old covenant, which was written on stone and based on laws, with the new covenant, which promises a new heart and spiritual communion with God. Gregg also examines the symbolism behind the tabernacle and argues that it portrays how man approaches God. Ultimately, Gregg highlights the better promises and better covenant of the new covenant compared to the old. TRANSCRIPT: opentheo.org/i...
Hebrews 8
New King James Version
The New Priestly Service
8 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the [a]sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
A New Covenant
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

You mean, the OC is obsolete as the SOURCE of Salvation/Justification...
@@abjoseck9548 No, the Old Covenant is obsolete. The O.C. was never the source of salvation. - moderator
@@abjoseck9548 The old covenant sucked. It was a ministry of condemnation and death.
@@abjoseck9548 Who knows what you mean? The old covenant is intersecting history. It’s the story of God. The new covenant supersedes the old covenant. The old covenant came to have no glory at all juxtaposed with the glory of the new covenant. Your question is not a question. Adventists are not new covenant Christians; they are old covenant believers. That’s a Walter Rea comment after he learned his prophetess was a liar and a thief.
@@abjoseck9548 The old covenant was never a source of salvation.
The establishment of new covenant does not mean humans stop sinning. The gift of the Holy Spirit makes believers more sensitive to sin.
Let me tell you…evangelicals don’t teach from Hebrews. I literally just found these verses today. Blown away.
Sad, but true.
How long you've been a Christian?
@@abjoseck9548 45 years.
Excellent. Thank you.
You are welcome!
He fulfilled all the law and the prophets. The Day of Vengeance was the final nail that made the Old Covenant obsolete.
You are conflating the "old covenant" and "the law" The law is present in both covenants and Jesus made that clear. "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void." ESV
The old covenant was contract between God and Israel. A conditional contract. The Mosaic law was temporary. The law was not nailed to the cross. It faded away. The legal debt owed by every sinner was nailed to the cross. Because the debt was nailed to the cross believers are to never allow a mongrel dog to judge them in regard to food drink or a yearly festival or a monthly new moon celebration or a weekly sabbath day. They were pathetic shadows of the substance of Christ.
Jesus also filled up the Psalms.
@mjack3521, w/c one was fulfilled that rendered the OT obsolete?
@@abjoseck9548 w/c? Are you unable to use letters that form words? The primary prophecy Jesus full filed was from John the Baptist: “ Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.” “ Adventists are not new covenant Christians; Adventists are old covenant believers.” There is no salvation being an old covenant believer. Jesus filled up all the law and the prophets and the Messianic Psalms.
Not sure why there is controversy in the comments here since the Old Covenant being obsolete is a necessary premise to the Christian faith ... how else could one be a disciple of Christ if one did not believe this?
I don't know why it's hard for people to understand this. They either don't read or don't know how.
@@anotherlook6930we? What? Actual genuine believers understand that their self righteousness is disgusting to Jesus- a slap in the face. True believers know that Jesus desires a relationship; not sacrifice and ritual. There is no we.
@@anotherlook6930it’s called being deluded and bewitched.
@@anotherlook6930 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples,” Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
But when he heard it he said,” Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘ I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” Jesus of Nazareth.
@@anotherlook6930 Jesus made clear that building your doctrine on his sayings (which are not his but the fathers) is building on the rock. That means keeping the commandments. The easy path that leads to destruction is to disobey God's law with "grace and faith alone" doctrine. Ps 119:32-33 " I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.'
@@rayray4192 No, God desires obedience to the law, which is "Better than sacrifice" you've been lied to. "And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." There is no "relationship with God" without obedience and love. "if you love me keep my commandments"
A covenant becomes obsolete when one or two of the parties fail to fulfill their side of the agreement. The Israelites failed their agreement when they worshipped the golden calf, and God could not fulfill His conditional promises(“I regarded them not” or “I turned away from them” declares the Lord Heb 8:9) for the people which therefore immediately rendered the covenant obsolete. What was not immediately rendered obsolete were the ceremonial laws that pointed to the arrival of the Redeemer, these became obsolete at the cross.
Paul in Hebrews 8:13 was saying that Jeremiah was confirming that the old covenant IS obsolete, and WILL become obsolete.
The conditions of both the old and new covenants are the same, Exodus 20:4 “and showing mercy unto thousands of them that LOVE ME, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS”
John 14:15 “ IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS”
Every Covenant GOD has ever made with man is still 100% viable and active today. Nothing ever becomes "obsolete" with GOD'S WORD !
You are contradicting scripture, but you can have your opinion. -moderator
No he isn't you are distorting it. Everlasting in Hebrew means forever, you are teaching lies.
@@gayleliman3423 Olam can mean forever. It mean for a long period of time. THE Sinaitic Covenant was conditional. The Israelites broke the covenant over and over. Hebrews 8:13 says it is obsolete. Galatians 3: says the law was only in place until Christ. 19 Why then the law? gIt was added because of transgressions, huntil the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made... 24 So then, rthe law was our sguardian until Christ came, tin order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian
Colossians 2:13-17 NKJV
[13] And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, [14] having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. [15] Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. [16] So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, [17] which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
Why do you want to live in bondage?
Galatians 4:21-31 NKJV
[21] Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? [22] For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, [24] which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- [25] for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children- [26] but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. [27] For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband.” [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. [29] But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. [30] Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

Thank you Steve, again, for the thorough explanation.
Jesus could not be an earthly priest because earthly priests would offer sacrifices also for their own sins, but Jesus had no sin.
Just by reading the title I conclude this is “divorce theology”…

When and why did the first covenant of Hebrews 8:7-9 become faulty?
It was the people and not Moses that were in the dark as he spoke to them at the base of mount Sinai. It was not the Ten Commandments that blinded the people, otherwise Moses would have vailed the Ten Commandments, but he instead vailed his face which was shining with the end of the animal sacrifices which were to be abolished, and that end was Christ. Moses was shown the glorious redeemer that was to come and was not in the dark!!
Interesting characterization of Scripture that I have not heard before, and that's a task indeed. Your words here are in keeping with all of Scripture and not blasphemous. Indeed, he did not veil those stones.

@@jars7774 king David is unable to make sense.
I will meet Jesus someday and He will ask you why you proclaimed He wasn’t seated at the right hand of His Father after He ascended. Your answer will not be sufficient.
Do you think that Abraham was in the dark after God prefigured to him the death of His own Son through the offering up of his son Isaac?
such blasphemy. God's eden-covenant is eternal and has NOT been fulfilled yet - for Revelation means 'a restoration of the eden paradise in the other reality' . Dump that wicked KJV the work of Esau .
“Jesus said he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it!”
We as Christians should do better with overcoming sin in our lives having the help of the Holy Spirit in us.
But if we are totally honest, we are not much better than the Israelites of old!
So… Praise be to God that in the new heaven and new earth, we will both be grafted back into the Olive tree… of which Jesus is the root! Becoming the “one new man” in the unity of the Holy Spirit!
Thank you Jesus!
Overcoming sin has nothing to do with fulfilling law. Jesus filled up all Mosaic law, the prophets, and the Psalms, causing the old covenant to have no glory t all juxtaposed with the new glorious covenant. New covenant new creations in Christ are infinitely better than Israelites who rejected Jesus. Christians are sons of Abraham at the moment of salvation.
@@shirleyfaul4120 have you overcome sin through diligent effort? Are you so holy you glow in the dark? Are you ready to stand before God without a mediator? The self righteousness of the Adventist demonic cult is sickening.

People read Mat 5:18 where Jesus says until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tiile will pass from the law. Not realising that its not a literal heaven and earth. Its the Jerusalem Temple Covenant that passes away. 70AD is Christ coming to bringing salvation & judgement.
BUT that is what the Bible says there and in Peter and in Revelation. It is literal or there would be no new Heaven and Eath - perhaps you should study the whole word of God and not that which suits your wishes!
@@michaelicorneliusmore babbling nonsense. Until heaven and earth pass away was an idiom. It was more likely that heaven and earth would pass away than one tiny part of the law would pass away until all was accomplished. All was accomplished at Calvary. You are ignorant
Well, you are a little confused bur you are correct that the old covenant became weak, useless, and obsolete; but the heaven and earth phrase is an idiom. An idiom is a group of words established by usage a having a meaning not detectable by the meaning of the individual words. “ Over the moon “ is an example. It was more likely that heaven and earth would pass way than even the tiniest part of Mosaic law would be done away with until all was accomplished. Jesus accomplished all his work at Calvary.
The destruction of the Hebrew temple in 70 A.D. has nothing to do with the phrase. “ It is finished.” - Jesus of Nazareth.
The Sinai was a token of what Jesus would fulfill, it could not make a man perfect , faith in Jesus does. Thus it had an expiry date on it , 30 AD at passover, the middle of the 70th week.
However the new nature of the new covenant is in agreement with Gods laws without restriction to token righteousness and holiness , clothes, food , drinks , washings.
The reformation abolished those regulations on the cross.
Wrong , but thanks for playing. The Mosaic law faded away as weak , useless, and obsolete. The legal debt of sinners was nailed to the cross. Amount of ignorance here is astounding
@rayray4192 Really? O wise one , maybe you should study what God says about arrogance and conciet... God abolished the 1st covenant , not His Law. Righteousness by the Law was replaced with righteousness by faith. loving God is keeping Gods commandments. 1John 2:4, 1John 5:3.
@@Exodus--bx3dd what are God’s commands in the new covenant?
@@Exodus--bx3dd 1 John 3:23. Commands of God in the new covenant are choose love and believe in the name of Jesus.
@@Exodus--bx3dd no one is more arrogant than pompous Pharisee wannabe Jews. The epitome of self righteousness.
The verses from Jeremiah (Jer. 31:31-34), quoted in Hebrews Chapter 8, represent a prophesy for the houses of Israel and Judah; a prophesy that was not fulfilled in the first century or in the twenty-first. It is speaking of the End of Days, for no one can say all of Israel, much less all nations, "from the least of them to the greatest," know God and have his law written on their hearts. Incidentally, the Hebrew word translated "law" in verse 33 is torah, not nomos, the more generic word for law used in Hebrews (see Strong's Concordance). According to the prophecy, therefore, the Law is part of the new covenant, and has not been replaced by Grace or anything else. Grace is an attribute of God, like Love and Truth; like Mercy. Being of God, it is infinite and eternal. In fact, the offering of a new covenant by God was itself an act of Divine Grace. It was not something God was compelled to do to rectify a fault, as in Hebrews, for the Lord God does not make mistakes, nor does he create faulty covenants. It was something he did out of love for his wayward children, even though they, by breaking his covenant, did not show the same love to him. If that is not Grace, then I do no know the meaning of the word.
Nothing in that passage speaks of the "End of Days" unless one arbitrarily inputs it there. Its funny how we are told that the juice are supposedly the most intelligent folks on earth yet they can not comprehend simple concepts or do basic, objective literary analysis in context. From the Christian perspective, this entire chapter is an elegant description of the coming reign of the Messiah, which is current.
Perhaps you missed Jesus words “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Matthew 5:17-18 When I last checked heaven and earth had not yet passed away. There is much in the OT prophesies still waiting to be fulfilled so ALL is not fulfilled.
The writer of Hebrews certainly didn't think the former covenant had passed away .. "Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." Hebrews 8:13 it may have been ready but since Hebrews was written many years after Jesus Death and Resurrection it still hadn't. It was still 'becoming' .
The words of Hebrews 8 taken directly from Jeremiah show that whne the New Covenant is here we will not sin and we certainly will not need anyone - especially YT videos - to teach us.
You call Jesus a liar and spit in his face. “ It is finished.” - Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus finished His work of atonement and completed His work at Calvary. The new covenant began when Jesus completed His work. You are not In Christ and you are not in the new covenant. You are stuck in a fantasy old covenant that doesn’t exist. You are playing wannabe Jew religious games.
You must stop reading 1st and 2nd moronicals
Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him? I Cor 11:14
Like John the Baptist, Sampson and others who took the Nazarite vow?
I Corinthians 11:16
But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
The Old Covenant was done away with when Christ died, it is done away with because one Party died, similar to marriage, if one spouse dies then the marriage is over, however The Laws and Commandments are not done away with since they are brought over into a New Covenant, so if a man is married to a woman and the man says no adultery, then the wife dies and the man remarries another woman then the man also says no adultery, he is bringing over the same Laws and Commandments into the new marriage covenant, this is the simplicity of what is happening, and is simply the understanding, this is why we see The Disciples still being obedient to The Laws and Commandments even after Christ rose and left the Earth.
No Scriptural basis for this statement. There is a Scriptural basis for the Disciples clinging to the old system out of visceral habit and emotional attachment.
@tedbastwock3810 The Disciples walked and talked with Christ, 2000 years ago, they knew Him personally but you who has not known Christ and is 2000 years removed has more understanding than they do, really? I do not see your name in The Bible, also provide your Scripture proof

Perhaps you could tell me when the first covenant of Hebrews 8:7-9 became faulty ?
@michaelbrutsche75 It was always faulty! The Law is not of faith.
The Promise to Abraham, established 430 before the Law, and fulfilled in Christ, is apprehended by FAITH.
The Law was a burdensome & temporary "schoolmaster" (etc.) with a "fading glory" that was called "the ministry of death" & "condemnation." The Law makes no one righteous -- it made sin more sinful, and it legally/judiciously brought sin into account!
[Ref. Galatians 2 - 3/ Romans 3-4, 7/ 2 Cor. 3/ and Hebrews 7-10]
@@keyman8072
That would mean that God’s promises were faulty, but I don’t think you believe that God’s promises were faulty!
@michaelbrutsche75
His unconditional promise was to Abraham, 430 years BEFORE the Law.
His conditional promises were contained in the Old Covenant Law.
In fact, the Mosaic Covenant is the ONLY conditional Covenant.
All others are Promises of God.
The GRACIOUS PURPOSE of the Old Covenant was to point people to Christ as it's fulfillment -- from SHADOW TO SUBSTANCE -- from PICTURE to REALITY.
Couple things to consider Steve, some of which you may know and understand already.
Judaism was not the religion of the Old Testament, it was the Temple system of worship. Judaism has its roots in the exile in Babylon and didn’t full come about until after AD70.
Also, not all Israelites were “Jews”. From my understanding, the 3 remaining southern tribes that remained in Jerusalem were called “Jews”. Furthermore, the title “Jew” originated from the tribe of Judah.
Just like all people from California are Americans, but not all Americans are from California.
I believe it is important to make this distinction, because this distinction was made by Jesus and the Apostles.
You are babbling nonsense
Then why have preaching or preachers if we don't need anyone to teach us? It says in the Book of Romans how will they hear without a preacher
Preacher in romans is the greek verb kērussō; to herald (as a public crier) especially divine truth (the gospel): - preach (-er) proclaim publish.,
not necessarily a seminary graduate. Everyone in Christ should be a herald of the divine truths of the gospel of God in word action and deed.Matthew 22:9 KJVS
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
In Christ, we are to "preach" that the lost may see the light of the gospel of Christ that those who will believe may be saved..2 Corinthians 4:4-6
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. [5] For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. [6] For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20 KJVS
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Exactly if we still have preachers and teachers then the old cannot have passed away.
@@michaelicorneliusJesus commanded the church to proclaim the gospel. Prophets are not involved. You are ignorant
@@rayray4192Ok. Take it easy, please.
Fair question...
This is a simple matter of understanding context for idiomatic references and figurative devices.
Like Steve referred to, this has to do with the Levitical Order, and the notion of closeness to God via hierarchy. It is a hyperbolic statement of condition vis-à-vis native role, etc.
This does not exclude hierarchy, leadership, and authority amongst fellow followers of Jesus today with regard to roles in life... age, sex, knowledge, vocation, etc.
I hope that helped!
How can there be Two covenants it’s just nonsense?. One God one faith it’s that simple. Waken up guys.
Huh? Who teaches that there are two covenants? Steve certainly isn't. Jesus himself said I give you a new commandment, not a new covenant. We still are under the same covenant, it has been fulfilled in Jesus, and has changed because of it, but it's the same covenant that God gave Abraham. Who's asleep?
@@mountainmover777 Read ur own writing bro! If something is changed it’s not the same!.
- There was the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Sinaitic Covenant (often referred to as the Old Covenant) and the New Covenant.
- Romans 9:4 refers to the covenantS.
- Galatians 4:24 specifically cites two covenants (Sinaitic/Old and New): For these are [g]the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children- 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Hebrews repeatedly speaks of the Old Covenant being replaced by the New Covenant:
- Hebrews 7:22 by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.
- Hebrews 8:6-13 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
A New Covenant
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
- Hebrews 9:1 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.
- Hebrews 9:15-21 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
The Mediator’s Death Necessary
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [g]precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [h]purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no [i]remission.
- Hebrews 10:28-30 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [a]says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
- Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

Wow, you are deluded. There are more than two covenants. Hebrews 8:13 is Sesame Street level language- easy to understand.” In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to ready to vanish away.”
@@mountainmover777you are embarrassing yourself. Are you Ok? Hebrews is the compare and contrast book that may have been a sermon.
Hebrews 7:1-12. “ If perfection was attainable through the Levitical priesthood ( for through it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek rather than the order of Aron? For when the priesthood is changed the law is necessarily changed.” Jesus is the better high priest who established a new and better covenant based upon better promises, and necessarily established a new and better law, the law of Christ

Are the “handwriting of ordinances “ of Colossians 2:14 the Ten Commandments ?
More likely the 613 OT laws. -moderator

So then the sabbaths of Colossians 2:16 cannot be referring to the Sabbath of the Ten Commandments because the Ten Commandments were not nailed to the cross?

Is it not reasonable to conclude that if the “handwriting of ordinances” of Colossians 2:14 is not the Ten Commandments , then the sabbaths of Colossians 2:16 cannot be referring to the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment? Please share with me your thoughts about this !
