Yes, of course.
This is also why Torah as a covenant doesnt bind us, and never did. But it does
not mean, that that is wrong, or that some solutions to some everyday problems
are not allow or that we cannot imitate it. Torah is perfect for the purpose which
she did serve and for us is a source of knowledge about what is right and what is
not. Paul said, that Torah was the nurturer and that we now (knowing Christ) are
gwon up. But it does not mean, that we have to give up good advices and rules of
the nurturer, quite opposite - good pupil follow this what he was taught by nurturer
in adult life. Btw, if God showed some judicial conclusions in his perfect law, we can
be sure, that they are good if not the best. Especially, if it is about civil or criminal
stuff, which is not stricte religious and doesn't emerge only from particular covenant
which was made, but is some more universal and practical everyday life's stuff... So,
concluding, it's very good to imitate perfect law of God - certainly good and beneficial.
More than that, NT had not to repeat everything what was in the OT to inform us what
is right and what is not, becasue OT also apply to Christians. More than that - when first
Chistians were preaching their message, there was no NT at all, and the people to whom
it was preached regognized only OT. So, they preached with only the OT under arm, (like
modern Jehovah's Witnesses), proving that this what they taught was scriptural. If they
would be preaching, that killing witches is bad, their message would be consider as wrong
and contraditoral to the Holy Scripture. Beliving, that OT does not apply to Christians is a
one of the greatest heresies. Apostle Paul wrote about the OT in such manner:
All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving,
for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man
of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
He certainly did not preach with his own epistoles as the Bible under arm
Then he disagrees. I can't force him to change his mind. But if someone wouldand what if someone disagrees with you on this?
want to be a godly ruler, he would inforce such laws. Ot at least consider them.
