However, Jesus Christ offered himself once and for all; so that there is no more need for sin offerings and burnt offerings. The CERIMONIAL law was fulfilled.
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified ( Hebrews 10:14; and surronding verses for more understanding).
Consequently, menustrating women are no longer "unclean." Therefore, there is no abomination in touching menustrating women today.  |
If homosexuality is an abomination (unclean) then wouldn't the concept of being sanctified eternally as stated in
Hebrews 10:14 be applicable to homosexuals as well as menstruating women?
I'm still not able to subscribe to this concept of "ceremonial law" being fulfilled. It seems abundantly clear that ALL the Law has been fulfilled in Christ’s unconditional LOVE (
Romans 7:6; 2:29; 8:1-10;
Matthew 5:17,18;
Galatians 3:18-25; 4:4,5; 5:14;
John 15:13)
Also, I would go so far as to say that enforcing any part of the Law in this dispensation of Grace is anti-Christ (
Romans 3:19-28;
Galatians 4:4-6;
Galatians 5:18).
