As a christian, the first child that opened my mums womb, a male, am I supposed to redeem myself as in Nu18:16

Question

In the days of old when Moses was the leader Israelites, God told Moses that he must redeem the first sons of Israel who opened the matrix / womb of their mothers as they are His. This was as a result of the last plague He issued against the pharough and his people of Egypt, before pharough allowed Israelites to go.

So today as a christian, the first child that opened my mums womb, a male, am I supposed to redeem myself as in Number 18:16.

Please elaborate on what is expected to be done by a christian of this dispensation to do with respect to 'First Fruits Offering' in this case a male child who also is the one that opened his mothers womb.

Answer 1

No... "In the days of old when Moses was the leader Israelites."

The very first sentence suggests that this was an OLD practice... hence, "in the days of old!"

Jesus has already fulfilled these laws.

Thank Him!

Answer 2

No, because the Torah was not given to Christians or other Gentiles. It was given to Jews. And yes, in Judaism they do redeem the first born son. The child is exempt if they are female or their mother or father is a Cohen or Levi.

Answer 3

We are no longer under the Mosaic Law, so we do not need to follow it any longer.

We must remember that the Law had been fulfilled in Christ Jesus. He was the “reality” to which the Law’s ‘shadows,’ including the temple and the sacrifices there carried on, pointed. The Law had therefore served its purpose and so was no longer the standard for judgment. (Col. 2:13-17) Not only this, but these Christians to whom the apostle Paul wrote were called to heavenly, spirit life. The Law was for humans, was composed of “legal requirements pertaining to the flesh,” even its tabernacle (and later temple) could be called “worldly” (Heb. 9:1, 10, Kingdom Interlinear Translation; “mundane,” Moffatt) in the sense that it was part of the human sphere, something built and used in the world of mankind, not something heavenly or spiritual. But now Christians were called to the superior way of worship based on Christ Jesus, who had entered into heaven itself. (Heb. 9:11, 24) Of Jesus Christ, in a letter to the Colossians the apostle said that “all the fullness of the divine quality dwells bodily” in him. (Col. 2:9) That being so, then Jesus Christ—not humans and their principles or teachings, nor even the now fulfilled Mosaic law—was to be recognized as God’s appointed standard for his servants, hence as the full means of measuring the truth with regard to any teaching or way of life.

Answer 4

I think it is not the question that should be asked. If you have a child who was born recently, the most probable reason for your question is that he or she doesn't have enough strength to accomplish simple tasks and therefore is not capable of living on her own without an assistance. If that's the case, you might want to attend a family doctor OR a specialist in resolving problems between a multi-confession family members. What you can do is to refuse to clarify the question until you decide for sure that you want your children to believe what you can believe yourself. In no occasion should you force your kids to believe in God you can't believe yourself. Please, forgive me for any harm I did to you or anyone else.

Answer 5

As a Christian, you have been freed from the dictates of the law.

Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Answer 6

If you are not a Jew, you have no obligation to obey this particular part of Torah Law. In fact, it is forbidden for a non-Jew to do so. Non-Jews have their own obligations as framed by the Torah of Noach,

Answer 7

We are under the grace of God. We do not have to serve Mosaic laws. Have you read the New Testament or are you just trying to ridicule perhaps???
