MODULE 1: THE NEW TESTAMENT WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR HUMAN ENEMIES
Today on God's instruction I shall begin this teaching series.
Many believers today do not understand that there is a big difference between the old covenant and the new covenant.
Some believers take something they read in the old covenant and want to follow it now even though it contradicts the new covenant law of love.
For example in the old covenant, a woman who just gave birth is unclean for a specified period (Lev 12:1-7). A woman was also considered unclean if she was menstruating while a man who has a body discharge was also unclean (Lev. 15:1-11; 19-27).
When a man has an emission of semen (including when he has sex with his wife) he will be unclean until the evening (Lev 15:16-18).
Also, great men like Abraham, David and Solomon married more than one wife. They could even marry more if they choose to do so and God would not judge them for it.
Other examples of laws in the old covenant include death penalty for anyone who curses or fights with his father or mother and for anyone who serves or worships idols (Exodus 21:15-17; 22:20).
We also have the law of an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, thou shall not allow a witch to live, etc. (Exodus 21:23-25, 22:18).
This is why you should not be surprised if you read in the Psalms where David prays against his human enemies. He was simply applying the law as it relates to his dispensation.
Other prophets in the old covenant also did the same thing David did and they were righteous for doing so.
In the next module we shall look at more laws given to them by God in the Old Testament which we can't follow today.
