When reading certain reported events in the Bible , one should turn their eyes to the reality of the time of occurrence of the event , to really understand the reason for the exhortation in fulfilling the commandment of the law . Israel was freed from the bondage of an idolatrous people , while wandering in the wilderness had contact with other pagan nations , they worshiped many idols , the life they led was past , prostituted themselves . Moses knew the heart of his people , was stiff-necked and had a great concern for them to have possession of the land , follow the same mistakes made by those people who took to the Lord before them . These last exhortations tries to show them that they should not follow them , men could not emasculate yourself , it was a practice used by pagans and those who did were raised to the priesthood. Prostitution , adultery , promiscuity , usury , lack of love for others , lack of hygiene entres they were commonplace acts , had many children these spurious marriages and they do not even know their parents. Moses warns them not to do them and gives them a commandment , prohibiting entry of eunuchs and children of such unions in the congregation . This concern is justified because of the time , the service held by the Jews , the atonement for sin by the sacrifice , a ritual that should be spiritual , the heart of man with God , became , with ceremonialism , a cold act, without spiritual participation , was an empty soul and could , over time, following the acts of those nations . " For I know thy rebellion , and thy stiff neck: behold , I still live with you today , you have been rebellious against the LORD: and how much more after my death ? " Deut . 31 27
The Lord God knows the human soul , knows that by their own efforts , they can not overcome evil . " For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal , sold under sin . Because I do not approve , because we do not want it , but what I hate , that I do . " Rm . 7 : 14-15 For the purpose of carnal weakness of man God came to earth in human form , to rescue him from perdition of sin , gave his own life as a ransom to give you eternal life . " All this is from God , who reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ ... That is, God was in Christ reconciling the world , not imputing their trespasses unto them ." II Cor 5 : 18-19

We see the same situation in the present day, but there is a new reality , Jesus brought a new life , worship without cold ceremonialism , but spiritual, " God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. " John 4 : 24 And to become a servant of Christ , the man fills his heart the spirit of God shall love your neighbor as it has the divine essence , do not discriminate, no respecter of persons , all are equal before the Lord . In the Kingdom of God there is room for everyone as long as they accept in your heart . " And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew , circumcised nor uncircumcised , barbarian, Scythian , bond nor free: but Christ is all in all . Put on therefore , as the elect of God , holy and beloved , bowels of mercies, kindness , humility , meekness , longsuffering ; Forbearing one another , and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another : even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye . And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfection. " Gal . 3 : 10-14
