this was simply a law teaching us not to be double minded.  Yes, those under the Old Testament still had to obey it, but God wasn't concerned about those specific items, he just used it as a teaching tool.

1Cor 9:8-10 (Paul quotes Deut 25:4 and explains its meaning) "It was written in the Law of Moses: 'Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.' Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest."

Somehow I think the Religious Right ignores this part of the Bible.

As it should.

We ignore parts of the Law of Moses that weren't carried into the New Testament.  We are under a New Covenant with its own set of laws which include some laws from the Law of Moses and some laws that are written in Genesis PRIOR to the Law of Moses...but ALL our laws DO have a legal precedent in the Old Testament regardless.  Some predate the Law of Moses (we have Noah's diet, not the diet of the Jews) and some of our laws are retained from the Law of Moses (no sexual relations with close relatives).

The New Covenant superseded the Law of Moses.

Took you a long time to find this thread ... I'd been expecting you to point this out ever since the thread was created, actually. Smiley

Yeah, I just noticed it, I don't spend much time searching.
