Torah Law – Natural/Spiritual Law – Civil/Ceremonial Law…what is relevant today and in eternity?

THE SABBATH EDICT (one example of civil-ceremonial law given Moses beginning in Exodus 16) MEANS NOTHING in the New Covenant other than its relevance as foreshadowing the Messiah who entered Time in flesh to make atonement for your sin and offer you “rest” from your labors in self-righteousness through vain attempts to keep a law (Torah Law) that only defined your sin and ultimately condemned you void atonement (Hebrews 4:9-16; Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:10; James 2:10; Galatians 2:16). Ultimately, Torah Law was given to point Israel’s children to their need for Messiah and justification, imputed righteousness, by faith (Galatians 3:24).

Torah Law = Moral v. Civil-Ceremonial,

The divisions-categorizations of Levitical-Torah Law are clearly seen in their intent and their eternal ramifications. Civil-ceremonial laws regulated Temple worship, the process of Temple construction, temporary feasts, holy days, sabbaths, food-diets…these things were nailed to the Cross of Messiah and made irrelevant by their fulfillment in Messiah. Elohim rejected Israel’s apostasy in their failures concerning the Sabbath, feasts, New Moon celebrations as per Isaiah 1:13. Elohim would have NEVER suggested that the moral law e.g. adultery, idolatry, murder, covetousness, would be discarded on account of man’s disobedience; hence, a clear distinction between the temporary nature of civil-ceremonial laws v. the eternally relevant moral law.

The moral law…those laws regulating behavior, thoughts, conduct, between humanity and God are immutable, eternal, and find their genesis in the creation of angels as an arbiter of free will and that same law was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as humanity is created in the spiritual image of Elohim thereby possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim, one such attribute being the moral law that governs behavior between humanity and between humanity and Elohim…that moral law being essential as an arbiter of free will thereby providing moral restraint as a bulwark against societal implosion in unrestrained narcissism and as a standard bearer that will be used by Messiah to judge the Nations at the Judgment of the Condemned manifesting subsequent His Millennial Reign (Romans 2:14-15; Genesis 1:26-28; Revelation 20:11-15).

Civil law through Moses is relevant only to Israel’s children under the Law Covenant and those who sojourned with Israel seeking the protective benefits of that Theocracy. Jews, Israelite’s, Hebrew Roots, religions, cults, seek to glorify civil-ceremonial laws as these things bolster one’s self-righteousness, pride, arrogance, self-sufficiency, but Elohim is not impressed with man’s efforts to engage in the temporary while rejecting the eternal; that is, faith in His Son as fulfillment of all LAW and the initiator of New Covenant relationship with Him.
