You wrote “The reason the 10 commandments were on stone is because people asked Moses to stop God speaking to them”

See this is WHERE YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM! The 10 commandments were not ISOLATED from the rest of the commandments BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE AFRAID, PLEASE!!! The 10 commandments were kept in the GARDEN OF EDEN before man’s fall. They were then HOUSED INSIDE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT to show their ETERNAL NATURE.

You wrote “The 10 commandments are not the old covenant”

NILHAV, this is serious! Are you really that ignorant??
Deut 4:16 He (God) dclared to you HIS COVENANT, THE 10 COMMS, …& wrote them on 2 stones!!!

NILHAV, HOW CAN YOU SAY THE 10 COMMS ARE NOT THE OLD COVENANT when scripture CLEARLY says so??? Where are the scriptures to support your claims of the covenant being more than the 10 comms??

CLEANSED FROM THEIR SINS on the day of atonement where the boold of the goat was sprinkled on the atonement cover to to atone for the transgressors of the 10 commandments. YOU NEED TO STUDY THE SUBJECT OF THE SANCTUARY REALLY THOROUGHLY.

You obviously DO NOT UNDERSTAND the whole purpose of the sanctuary! The testimony, the 10 comms were its focus & its THEIR VIOLATION that created the need to sacrifice animals. The sins of the people in the form of the blood of the animals sprinkled in the curtain the the holy place WERE THEN REMOVED from the sanctuary & the people CLEANSED FROM

Nilhav now says the 10 comms were ONLY separated from the rest of the Torah becoz people were afraid to hear God speak? How about their special HOUSING in the ark of the covenant? They were THE PRIMARY CONTENTS OF THE TABERNACLE .

In Acts 7:44 Stephen calls the tabernacle THE TABERNACLE OF THE TESTIMONY because THE PRIMARY CONTENTS OF IT WERE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT & THE TEN COMMANDMENTS it contained which were called the testimony Ex 25:16

It seems nilhav doesn’t understand that the TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE INFACT THE OLD COVENANT!!! He lumps them with the 603 laws that were there for the sanctuary services! The 10 comms are moral & eternal. It is their VIOLATION that God calls sin.

Nilhav now says the 10 comms were ONLY separated from the rest of the Torah becoz people were afraid to hear God speak? How about their special HOUSING in the ark of the covenant?
