Hebrews 8:1-13 | Why the new covenant is so much better than the old

Did you know that in Queensland it's still constitutional law that every pub must have a railing outside in order that patrons can tie up their horse? Still on the law book.

And it's not obsolete today.

It's still on there.

Now, it would be quite silly for anyone to enforce that law.

Now, let's move from Australia to America, and in America, anything goes, really, doesn't it? Listen to this one.

In Kentucky, it is a law that every person must take a bath at least once a year.

How are you going to measure that? The odor.

Oklahoma, there's a law against hunting whales.

Now, that's funny, because in Oklahoma, it's a landlocked state.

So how do you go and you get whales? North Dakota, still technically legal to shoot an Indian horseback, provided you're in a covered wagon, okay? Michigan, these are laws still in the law books.

In Michigan, it's illegal to place a skunk inside your boss's desk.

Kentucky, it's illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket.

And listen to this one.

In Hartford, Connecticut, it's illegal for a husband to kiss his wife on Sundays.

Not on.

And last one.

In Alaska, it is illegal to look at a moose from the window of an airplane.

And he might charge you.

I'm not too sure what's in that.

Lots of laws.

that are totally inadequate, non-applicable today, and they should be done away with, totally done away with.

In fact, they should have been done away when they enacted, I think, some of those.

They had application or seem to have application in the past.

Times have changed, there's a new era, and new laws come in to replace the old ones.

And people need to walk according to the law of the day, of course.
