Abolished?

Learned something from moody radio openline sometime back: The commandments in the old testament is to be obeyed in the current age only if the same principle is expressly mentioned in the new testament. Generally there is wisdom in the commandments of the old testament but is not mandatory if it is not mentioned in the new testament.

Only this life, then judgement

Hebrews 9 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  -kjv 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,  -niv 27 And just as it is appointed for people to die once—and after this, judgment—  -hcsb Observations and comments:

1. People only live one life and after that to die once. This verse suggest that there is no possibility of reincarnation and thus of past lives. The soul, however, lives on after the death of the body. Believers will be in the presence of the Lord after death (2 Corinthians 5:8).

2. People are given one chance in this life on earth to accept or reject Jesus and after that judgement (2 Corinthians 5:10)

Saviour of all

John 10 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  -kjv 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.  -niv 14 “I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me, 15 as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.  -hcsb Observations and Comments:

1. Jesus is the good shepherd.

2. The sheep are the believing Israelites.

3. The sheep that are not of this fold are the gentiles. The gentiles are believers who are non Jew. Heard this from Moody Radio openline last Saturday.
