Bible Discussion Thread

Hello Everyone First let me say this, the Bible is broken up into seven dispensations of time. God has always had one way of salvation under each dispensation. These passages of scriptures fall up under the fifth dispensation which is the Dispensation of Law. This is extended from the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai to the crucifixion of Christ. God again, dealt with His chosen nation, Israel. The salvation plan was that the people keep His laws. He promised great blessings upon those who observed its statutes and great curses upon those who violated its precepts. They failed to obey the laws. The legal dispensation ended with the crucifixion of Christ with the twelve tribes scattered abroad, and with just a remnant that remained in the Promised Land oppressed by Roman rule. There are 613 laws of the Torah Mosaic Laws . There are 365 negative laws. These are laws in which the Jews were not supposed to do. You can read some of them in Deuteronomy. There were also proselytes, Gentiles who converted to Judaism, some were bought as slaves others came of their own free will. They followed the Law. Some were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2 10.
