Jamalanga;658612]Traditions of the church holds no authority to the scriptures.Isaiah 29:13 and Jesus had this to say.Mark 7:6 "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites: As it is written: "These people honour me with their lips.but their hearts are far from me.They worship me invain: their teachings are but rules taught by men, And he said to them." you have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions.
The temple of God was open in heaven,and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament Rev.11:19 The ark of Gods testament is in the holy of holies.the second apartment of the sanctuary.
The ark in the tabernacle on earth contained the two tablets of stone,upon which were inscribed the precepts of the law of God.The ark was mererly a receptacle for the tables of the law, and the presence of these divine precepts gave to it its value and sacredness.When the temple of God was opened in heaven,the ark of his testament was seen,within the holy of holies,in the sanctuary in heaven,the divine law is sacredly enshrined. The law that was spoken by God himself amid the thunders of Sinai and written with his own finger on the tables of stone,
The law of God in the sanctuary in heaven is the great original,of which the precepts inscribed upon the tables of stone and recorded by Moses in the pentateuch were an unerring transcript.The law of God,being a revelation of his will,a transcript of his character, must forever endure,as a faithfull witness in heaven,not a jot or a tittle has been changed. says the psalmist,"Forever, O Lord,thy word is settled in heaven.[/quote]
