Is this what Leviticus 11, for example, is all about? Things, if disobeyed, indicating "a man simply not being for God"? [bump]
I will take some time to get into
Leviticus 11.
As I recall it has much to do with the holy diet.
New Testament Christians read these things for essentially new covenant relevant wisdom, AS the New Testament writers did.
I asked you what you thought about your question.
Have you read the whole of chapter 11?
I glanced at it. And I have not studied it in a long time.
Only this will I comment on at this time.
I recall when we went through
Leviticus I was left with an eventual impression that we all are left as hopelessly unclean, hopelessly defiled, and deeply in need of God's salvation.
I recall that the whole book left me with this kind of thought. We all are defiled - # 1. And Christ is the all-inclusive answer to all of our deep corruption.
The DEMAND is beyond what men can fulfill.
The
SUPPLY to
meet the impossible DEMAND is found in
Christ, the Son of God typified in so many of the allegorical details of the priesthood and the offerings.
That is all I will say about this now.
