\"dorsey\"As I promised I am doing a few posts in tribute to Dave Dorsey my former graduate school professor who recently passed away. He was a dear man who I loved and admired.<\/p>\n

Here is my first post<\/a>.\u00a0Read that first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, I have a treat. I came across a PDF of his online on a topic that many Christians struggle with and ask: “Are we (as Christians) responsible for keeping ancient Old Testament Laws?”<\/p>\n

or sometimes, “How do we navigate the 613 laws today?”<\/p>\n

Oh! Before you think 613 laws is a lot, remember that our country passes far more than that in a typical week.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

But these Old Testament laws are a code for a whole people group that comprise national, both cultural and religious. They include even dietary and clothing restricts and other particulars too.<\/p>\n

Don’t eat shellfish?<\/p>\n

Don’t wear two types of cloth?<\/p>\n

Don’t marry foreigners?<\/p>\n

What about the 10 Commandments? Those seem good to keep. Not murdering people is a brilliant one.<\/p>\n

Plus, in the new Testament, great care is taken to underscore the importance of the Mosaic Law for Christians; so how do we navigate it?<\/p>\n

Dorsey tackles all that and more in this paper with this tantalizing title: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mosaic Law and the Christian: A Compromise<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Be warned, it is a short paper from a scholar<\/span>. Is it practical? Yes, very. Is it hard to read? That depends on what you’re used to reading. Give it the old college try!<\/span><\/p>\n

In this short paper you can glimpse the brilliance of Dave (as he preferred to be called) who taught so many profound things to us. It’s amazingly researched and full of intellectual honesty, and most of all, helpful.<\/p>\n

Enjoy it\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
