As you read in the >Book of Mormon, you'll find that after Jesus was crucified and >resurrected, He did not teach them to keep the law of Moses any more. He sure did. The resurrected Yeshua said: Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel,... Behold, I have given unto you the commandments; THEREFORE KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS. (3Ne. 15:5, 10 LDS) >Instead, all through His ministry, He preached the gospel of repentance >and baptism for those who were of age to know the difference between good >and evil. In fact, when He did visit the Nephites, they were prepared to >hear the law that they should keep, and this included nothing about >continuing in the ordinances of the law of Moses. > >2 Nephi 11 >58 And after Christ shall have risen from the dead, he shall shew himself >unto you, my children, and my beloved brethren; >59 And the words which he shall speak unto you, shall be the law which ye >shall do. So he taught the Torah. > Other prophets also testified that the sacrifice Christ would make, was >to be the "last" sacrifice that would require the death of anything. >Consider the following discourse to the Zoramites by Alma, Jr.: > >Alma 16 >206 And now behold, I will testify unto you of myself, that these things >are true. >207 Behold, I say unto you, that I do know that Christ shall come among >the children of men, to take upon him the transgressions of his people, >and that he shall atone for the sins of the world; for the Lord God has >spoken it; >208 For it is expedient that an atonement should be made; for according >to the great plan of the eternal God, there must be an atonement made, or >else all mankind must unavoidably perish; >209 Yea, all are hardened; yea, all are fallen, and are lost, and must >perish except it be through the atonement which it is expedient should be >made; >210 For it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice; >yea, not a sacrifice of man, neither of beast, neither of any manner of >fowl; for it shall not be a human sacrifice: but it must be an infinite >and eternal sacrifice. >211 Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood, which will >atone for the sins of another. >212 Now if a man murdereth, behold, will our law, which is just, take the >life of his brother? I say unto you, Nay. >213 But the law requireth the life of him who hath murdered; therefore >there can be nothing, which is short of an infinite atonement, which will >suffice for the sins of the world; therefore it is expedient that there >should be a great and last sacrifice; >214 And then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop >to the shedding of blood; then shall the Law of Moses be fulfilled; yea, >it shall all be fulfilled; every jot and tittle, and none shall have >passed away. >215 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law; every whit pointing >to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last sacrifice will >be the Son of God; yea, infinite and eternal; and thus he shall bring >salvation to all those who shall believe on his name; >216 This being the intent of this last sacrifice, to bring about the >bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice and bringeth about means unto >men that they may have faith unto repentance. >217 And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them >in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance, >is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice; therefore, only >unto him that has faith unto repentance, is brought about the great and >eternal plan of redemption. >218 Therefore may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye may begin to >exercise your faith unto repentance, that ye begin to call upon his holy >name, that he would have mercy upon you; yea, cry unto him for mercy; for >he is mighty to save; > This cannot mean chronological "last" since the scripture clearly states that the offerings continued each year as a remembrance (Heb. 10:1-2); Paul made offerings at the Temple long after Yeshua's death (Acts 21:17-26/Num. 6:13-21; Acts 24:17-18 see also Acts 18:18/Num 6:13-21) offerrings will be made at the rebuilt Temple (Dan. 9:27) and offerings will be made at the Millennial Temple (Ezek. 43:18-27). This means only "last" in terms of power not chronology. Yosef ______________________________________________________
