In this framework, the call to love was always considered more foundational than ritual. At times, people applied the law in fresh ways, adapted it to new contexts (e.g., 2 Chron. 35:5\u20136 with Ex. 12:21), or even developed it. There are even instances where God did not hold people guilty though they failed to fulfill ceremonial obligations or engaged in ceremonially unlawful activity. Nevertheless, the Old Testament never distinguishes moral, civil, and ceremonial laws in the way the threefold division proposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4540","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
