Stop in the name of the Law… does that still work? Did it ever work? Seriously was there a time that you could just yell out “stop in the name of the law” and people were like - Darn it, I was just about to get away with it… but they yelled stop in the name of the law. 

 

Ceremonial Law – this was a brand-new set of laws that God gave to Moses that were specifically for the nation of Israel as a theocracy.  These laws dealt with the qualifications for priests, requirements for how and when to perform sacrifices, cleanliness laws, dietary laws, festival laws and tithing laws. 

Ceremonial Law: This type of law related to Israel's worship. (Lev 1:1-13) The laws pointed forward to Jesus Christ and were no longer necessary after Jesus' death and resurrection. Though we are no longer bound to them, the principles behind the ceremonial laws, to worship and love God, still apply.

Civil(Judicial) Law – All nations must have civil laws to help deal with disputes between their citizens as well as to enforce the morals of the people.  While not all of the Mosaic civil laws dealt with moral issues, a great deal of the Civil laws for Israel did in fact deal with how to punish or make restitution for violation of God’s moral laws.  So, when we examine the Old Testament to search for the moral law of God – we must look for moral laws that stand alone as well as civil laws which prescribe punishment and restitution for breaking God’s moral laws.

Civil Law: This law dictated Israel's daily living (Deut 24:10-11); but modern society and culture are so radically different that some of these guidelines cannot be followed specifically. The principles behind the commands are to guide our conduct.

 

Moral Law – this is law which reflects God’s character and his design of this world. Examples of this law would include but are not limited to commands regarding murder, children honoring and obeying their parents, adultery, covetousness and theft. Moral Law: The moral laws are direct commands of God. A good example is the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:1-17).

 

The biblical view of scripture/law and primarily abortion or homosexuality. When people say that there are laws in the bible about don’t eating shell fish, don’t wear wool mix clothes, don’t wear pants, don’t wear your hair down… one must understand that there were 3 types of law given in scripture. Ceremonial, Civil and Moral. Ceremonial and civil were based on that time in history, context and history. But moral law is based on the character of God, it is unchanging. Jesus affirmed this by saying I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. We could keep the ceremonial and civil, but we can’t keep the moral without the life giving spirit of Jesus. 

 

The moral laws reveal the nature and will of God, and still apply to us today. We do not obey this moral law as a way to obtain salvation, but to live in ways pleasing to God.
