OT210 Week 3: Role Of Leviticus Response Paper
OT2100-Week Three-Role of Leviticus Response
“Leviticus is addressed to the members of a believing community. The covenant is in the past, and the marriage relationship is well under way. Exodus ended by devoting a good bit of attention to where God is to be worshiped—in the tabernacle. Leviticus extends the theme to include how God is to be worshiped. In Exodus, the emphasis is on locality. In Leviticus, the emphasis is on attitude and proper relationship” (Hamilton, 2015, p. 232).
Sanctification is the ongoing process of being made holy. That is God’s will for Christians today as it is written in 1Pe 1:16 (KJV) “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” And it was God’s will for the Israelites to be sanctified and live holy,

    Rabbi Simeon's Exegesis Of Exodus 20: 18

    Rabbi Simeon’s allegory bridges the gap between a people and a time through the anthropomorphization of the Sabbath and exegesis of Exodus 20:8. The Sabbath’s dialog with God anthropomorphizes the day. The Sabbath’s character has one statement with which to judge it, a plea for companionship: “All [of the other six days] have a partner, while I have no partner!” This desire implies that the Sabbath is a spiritual entity. With God as proof, nothing quite inspires people to connect like anthropomorphization. Describing Israel’s spiritual relationship with the Sabbath through the metaphor of betrothal solidifies the connection. Rabbi Simeon’s exegesis of Exodus 20:8, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” founds his interpretation of the Sabbath as the Community of Israel’s bride. This was one of the timeless Ten Commandments given to the Israelites at Sinai. “To keep it holy” is a translation of the Hebrew word לקדשו (l’kadeshu), which in the context of the Talmud meant the consecration of a…

    Why Does Jesus Violate Jewish Purity Codes

    But Jesus does not avoid contact with common unclean people, instead, he touch lepers, spend time with Gentiles, go to graves or corpses, heals on the sabbath (i.e. purity in the sense of profane and sanctified). Jesus defines a new halakha for his disciples. The clean and sanctified does not become contaminated by but brings cleansing into an unclean environment. He moves the focus of purity from the outer man to the inner, he violates the purity codes to bring Gods mercy to those who needs cleanliness. (deSilva, 2004,…

    Religion 212 Final

    There are several revelations presented by Paul with greatly differ from those practiced by followers of Judaism. One of this first revelations was that the church should be separate from the synagogue. Paul then states that all people of faith are “children of Abraham,” meaning that any person of any race are children of God, and not just those of Jewish lineage. This also lead to the belief that circumcision, a Jewish belief and practice, was no longer required in order to be a part of the faith. As for Marriage, Paul states that Christians should only marry other Christians, However, they do not have to be of Jewish descent. As for God's warnings and promise to Judaism, these beliefs still hold true. The purpose of the “Church Age” is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not much is really happening with the nation of Israel during this time. Paul preached that it will not be until after the Church is taken away, or “Ruptured” that God's focus will again be on the nation of Israel.…

    Old Testament Covenants

    In Exodus 19, God reiterates his covenant agreement with his creation, man, to continue to take heed to his voice and keep the covenantal agreement. By the nation of Israel continuing to obey God, God will establish them as his people above all other nations. Which means God will declare the nation of Israel as one that honors him and keeps their agreement. The chapter provides a picture of God that he will continue to honor his agreements. God also continues to remind man of their covenantal agreement and what man needs to do to not falter on the…

    Old Testament: Relationship between the Levites and Worship in Ancient Israel

    The Old Testament supports the tracing of the the relationship between the Levites and worship in Ancient Israel. Worship in Ancient Israel was based on doctrine supported by the covenant and interventions that had been initiated by God. Yahweh showed a considerable amount of compassion and protection to the descendants of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob. For example, the Israelites were rescued through their leader, Moses, from slavery and oppression and then led through Sinai to the Promised Land. Here, the set of instructions, still followed today, was revealed to them (The 10 Commandments).#…

    Jesus Creed "Response Paper"

    The Jesus Creed has really helped me to look at Scripture from what I believe is a more biblical and Jesus centered perspective. While I have read the words Jesus used from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 many times in Scripture, I never considered how all His teachings might have stemmed from them. I did not know Jesus had amended the Shema of Judaism because I didn’t know there was a Shema before reading this book, but now knowing this I can more clearly see what Jesus was doing. He was correcting a misunderstanding how some used and understood the Torah. Most paid excellent attention to the letter of the Law; however they had failed to grasp the message that God had called them to partake in His redemptive mission. Just as the Israelites got tangled up with the letter of the Law and missed their calling, are we as the Church today also failing to answer the same call? I believe it’s far too easy to make a case that we are, especially in America. Jesus redefines what it means to love God, instead of showing love to God by observing the Torah, Jesus calls people to follow Him, and in doing so He equates loving God to having a personal relationship with Himself thereby amending the Shema, making it personal. Next, He adds to the Shema by using a Leviticus passage saying “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love of God and love of others is the core of Jesus’ Shema and loving God means following Jesus. McKnight believes the Jesus Creed is the foundation of everything Jesus teaches about spiritual formation and after having read his book I have to say I agree. Everything Jesus does is out of love for God and for others as illustrated time and time again throughout the Gospels.…

    Sanctification is the process of becoming more like Christ in our conduct and character. But how does it occur? What disciplines, habits, and ways of thinking and living do Christians need to cultivate to become "sanctified"? In Five Views on Sanctification[1], Protestant theologians explore these questions and share their understanding of how sanctification occurs. In this paper, I will summarize and react to each contributor's view of sanctification. At the end of the paper, I will offer my own explanation of how sanctification occurs. I hope you enjoy…

    Purity in Church

    Purity in Church

    This spiritual purity has become the necessary ingredient for the existence of the church; for the survival of the church - meaning without spiritual purity, there is no church. Everything that took place on the Cross was indeed the defining, the establishment of spiritual purity in the life of the church. Consecration, holy segregation, covenant with GOD and He says, “Separateness” that all of them were meant to boil down to one thing—to boil down to the observance of spiritual purity. Today’s word is entitled “Purity in the Church;” Purity in Church; Purity in Church. And very shortly you are going to see that in my submission to you that purity is going to be the centerpiece; the centerpiece of ministry; is going to be the centerpiece of salvation. And that’s why I think it’s very important to talk about purity in church; purity in church. Now, why should I be talking about purity in church? Listen to this. To the church; you go to her and start preaching to her about purity in church - that can only mean that there is a crisis in church. The only reason I can come here and begin talking about purity in church is if there’s a crisis thereof; if there’s a purity crisis in church. The only reason I can come here and talk about purity in church is if there’s a moral crisis in church. The only reason why I can come here and be bold and address purity in church is when there’s a righteousness crisis in church. The only reason that can compel me to come right here and talk about purity in church is when there’s a holiness crisis in church; a crisis in the house is what can compel me to come before you and begin to say, “Just a moment, let us first of all look at purity in church.” And that’s why today I want to look at purity in church. But in looking at purity in church that means like I said that there’s a fall in purity. But the only way I can come here and begin to talk about the fall in purity in church is when I…

    MALACHI

    MALACHI

    God continues chapter 2 of Malachi talking to the priests about cursing them since they dishonor his name. He says in Malachi 2:2, "If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name,' says the LORD Almighty, 'I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me." God also says that he will maintain the curse onto their offspring, etc. He talks about Levi and God's covenant with him. His "covenant of life and peace". Levi "stood in awe" of the Lord's name unlike the priests who defile it. Levi spoke the truth and followed the Lord's instructions. God says that priests should follow after Him and preserve knowledge and seek instruction but instead they choose to turn away and therefore they have "violated the covenant with Levi". (Malachi 2:8) Because they have ignored God's ways and lived on their own they will be despised and humiliated by the nations.…

    Origen's View Of Salvation Analysis

    That a section of the evil people among the church does not necessarily connect their evil deeds to all members of the church. That therefore does not mean that they are required to be holy before they are called out. They are picked from the rest of humanity just the way they are and then they gradually go through a process of sanctification to make them holy and acceptable before God. To reflect the very image of Christ, which is an ultimate goal in Christ’s work of sanctification. If it were not for the fallenness of humanity then Christ would not come to redeem…
