Good post James. Exodus is full of laws. It seems silly to me to pick one out (such as divorce) and ignore others. An eye for an eye etc comes from Exodus 21. We don't still advocate that do we? From chapter 23 we read about the feasts. I don't know anyone who still keeps the feast of the unleavened bread, the firstfruits, or the ingathering.

In other words, those are laws that along with many others, made up the old covenant. While Brian is right that we should strive to be more like Christ and keep the commandments, Christ is the only one Who could keep them all. That's why we have a new covenant. We couldn't keep the old. Until God clothes me in incorruptibility, I'll continue to yield to sin. Not willingly, but because of my flesh.

Catch you later.
