Gods 10 Commandments and the Ceremonial law

Select the Ten Commandments and the Ceremonial law for a much more detailed page of the following. What is the relationship between these two laws and how did they sustain each other? If a man sinned, he broke LAW No. 1, the moral law of the Ten Commandments. Then he brought his offering, according to LAW No. 2, the law of sacrifices, and he received forgiveness. Here the two laws were brought into right relation. LAW No. 1 defines sin, for sin is the transgression of the moral law, the Ten Commandments. 1 John 3:4 LAW No. 2 defined sacrifices, the ceremonial law which was the remedy for sin. When the Israelite sinned, he broke the first law. To secure forgiveness he had to obey the second law. So here are two very distinct laws of which this fact cannot be overlooked. Christ became that One and perfect final sacrifice for us when He cried out “It is finished” and bowed His head and died. See Hebrews 10:8-10

The Ten Commandments were also personally spoken by God (Deuteronomy 4:12-13) and written by the finger of God on two stone tablets (Exodus 31:18) and handed to Moses and were stored on the inside of the Ark of the Covenant. (Deuteronomy 10:5) The ceremonial law that is also called the ordinances or the Mosaic Law on the other hand were written and spoken by Moses on paper (parchment) in a book (Deuteronomy 31:24) and were stored on the outside of the Ark of the Covenant. (Deuteronomy 31:26) So they were written by two different entities and were spoken by two different entities and were written on different types of materials and were stored in different locations. Despite this, there are some who claim they are the same law but these are typically people who are trying to avoid one or more Commandments of God. There can be no doubt that Satan would and has attacked the law God wrote in stone with the sole purpose on deceiving as many as possible so that he can have them perish.
