Christ did not say this. He said that he came to fulfill the Law, not do away with the Law. You are right that we no longer offer sacrifices, but what has that got to do with the sacramentals?

As for the OT ceremonies, do we not have baptism? Do we not celebrate the Lord’s supper? Everyone has traditions and ceremonies. The only thing is that they differ from one church to another.

“So then you admit the Roman Catholic church shares pagan worship methods? And that is fine with you??”

He is saying that if you wish cleanse ‘Pagan’ influences, you would have to rename Saturday, and the days of the week. It’s an argument ad absurdo. Obviously, you aren’t calling to remove all pagan influences from the church, just the ones you don’t like.

Ben,

Christ FULFILLED the law perfectly , your own catechism says that. We are no longer under that law, the law remains as a way for us to see how sinful we are and how much we need a Savior..without the law we would never know that

However we are here talking about religious practices in israel .

The OT ceremonies , the temple, the ritual the priests, etc were TYPES of Christ, he fulfill every one of those types so the NO LONGER HAVE ANY PURPOSE . . they were no longer needed once they were fulfilled in Christ

Yes we do all have family and church traditions, but I hope we do not look to those traditions for spiritual blessings or salvation.. There is only salvation in Christ
