Question: "What was the purpose of the Levitical Law?"

Answer: There is often confusion about the role of the Old Testament Law and how it relates to Christians today. Some say the Levitical laws were just for the Jewish people, while others say they apply to everyone who would worship God. Some think they teach a different way of salvation than the New Testament, and some even think they represent a different God than the loving, merciful one revealed in the New Testament. What is the Levitical Law, and what was its purpose?

First, let’s clarify some terms. The Levites were the descendants of Levi, one of Jacob’s twelve children. Moses was of the tribe of Levi, and when God delivered the Law to him on Mount Sinai, He marked the Levites as the tribe responsible for the primary religious duties in the nation. They were made priests, singers, and caretakers in the worship of God. In calling it the Levitical Law, we acknowledge that God revealed the Law through Moses, a Levite, and that God appointed the Levites as the religious leaders of Israel. The same Law is sometimes called “Mosaic” because it was given through Moses, and it is also referred to as the “Old Covenant,” because it is part of God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants.

Hebrews 7:18–19 tells us that the old Law was set aside “because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect).” The Law had no way of changing our sinful nature. We needed something better to accomplish that. In fact, Hebrews goes on to say that the Law was “only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never . . . make perfect those who draw near to worship”


Paul wrote in Galatians 2:16 that we are not justified “by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.” When we receive God’s forgiveness through our confession of faith in Jesus’ sacrificial death, the Law is fulfilled for us, and “there is no longer any sacrifice for sin” (Hebrews 10:1. The Law’s condemnation does not fall on us, because “the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).

I'm not doing any comparison, I'm just applying common sense. Can you really say killing infants is okay? Say it if you believe God can kill innocent infants because of their guilty parents. Anybody else want to accept this medieval mentality of killing innocent children because their "god" said so as prime example of JUSTICE worthy to be continued in perpetuity?

Your god is as useless as all other gods. It's just a matter of time your nameless god will be part of mythology. From this point, just stay away. I think you are triggered enough.

You really did not read my response. You keep on asking the same question.

8. EXODUS 21:20

20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

Interpretation/Comments:

God was in the process of giving commandments to Moses to be spread among the Israelites. God should have made an additional commandment, Thou Shall Not Own Any Slaves or Engage in Human Trafficking. But no, Honoring the Sabbath is far greater a priority than abolishing slavery. Or, God could have said, Thou shall treat thy slaves humanely as a consolation. An owner can make a punching bag out of his slave so long as they dont die within 24 hours. Hopefully, the slave would lose an eye or tooth (preferably, yeah?)so that they can be set free.

This statement alone makes me conclude how flimsy it will be having an intelligent discussion in this topic. Read the Bible cover to cover? LOL.

There's supposedly no discussion, just reading. It's good almost anything makes you laugh.

I read it. Somehow you still feel justified about killing children for the sins of their parents. Killing them to save them from doing bad things in the future? That is scary and deranged thinking. And this is justifiable? Cold killer your god is.

God should?Ikaw naman noon magbuot. Mura naman noon ug tawo pareha nimo ang Ginoo.

You're attacking the Old Law again.

There are other laws that need to be considered, which might shed light on this situation.

When there is a fight between two people, the general rule is that what damage is done to one person is done to the other when the matter goes to court and the injurer is shown to be in the wrong. "If a man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so it shall be inflicted on him" (Leviticus 24:19-20).

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 takes this in the other direction and someone not involved in the fight tries to intervene and injures one the fighters. The example used is of someone strongly interested in protecting one of the fighters -- his wife. Because of the other laws regarding fights, it is generally assumed that the wife caused permanent damage by her action. If a man had done this and caused injuring, the law in Leviticus 24:19-20 would set the punishment to an equivalent amount of damage to the person who did this. However, a woman doesn't have external genitals, so what would be considered equivalent damage? God set it at the lost of a hand. Even people intervening in a fight have a responsibility to not cause harm.

shed light anyone? right....

Yep he shouldve? Fortunately, people realize by themselves slavery is evil, no thanks to your bible. As powerless as we are towards your imaginary god, modern society established better rules. All his omnipotence is impotent in addressing medieval barbarism.

Again, don't try to understand God. It's his decision not yours. What can you do as a human being?

We do not tell people that God’s ways are always understandable to the human mind; God is infinite, and, therefore, there will always be an infinite number of things about God that we do not understand (Isaiah 55:8–9)


Gibasa naman kaha nimo ang Bible cover to cover? Wala ka kasabot ani nga verse?


Isaiah 55:8–9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

and you cant seem to denounce the killing of children but instead defend it within the logic of your bible....

Balik2 anang killing of children.Ayaw lagi pagbuot sa desisyon sa Ginoo.

Let's go back to Adam and Eve, kay nakasala man sila, apil sad ta nag antus ug nagpuyo niining kalibutana bsan wa ta nakabuhat sa sala nila.

Ug wala ta giapil sa nakasala, naa na unta ta sa langit ron nagdinakpanay. Kidding aside, Nakuha nimo akong point?


A diseased tree cannot bear good fruit.

Who are we to question the will of God? You surely know the difference between a man and a God right?

So unsa may pagsabut nimo sa Isaiah 55:8–9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Ug wala ka nitoo ug Bible ug Ginoo TS then unbelievers like you would say nga everything in the bible didn't happen or wala xa ni exist.

So, why are you questioning these events nga wala man diay ni nahitabo or ni exist?

Where's our logic here?or common sense? Lupig pa ang nagdinakpanay ug utot nato ani?
