QUESTION: Does Deuteronomy 29:1 teach the Adventist idea of two old laws?
ANSWER: No! The SDA falsely concludes from this passage that there is a Law of God (Ten Commandments- still in effect) and there was a Law of Moses (ceremonial law-taken out of the way). In this passage, the “words of the covenant” and “the covenant which He made with them in Horeb” made up the “Old Covenant,” which has been done away with in it’s totality, having been replaced by the “New Covenant” (Hebrews 8:6-13)!
The Bible does not recognize the distinction between “laws” as concocted by the Adventists. For example: In Nehemiah 8:1, Ezra the scribe read from the “Book of the Law of Moses.” In Nehemiah 8:18, we see that from which he read was also called the “Book of the law of God.” Luke as well refers to the “Law of Moses” as the “law of the Lord” (Luke 2:22-23). Clearly, the Adventists are in conflict with God’s Word on the matter!
