Well this is for another thread, but although the Confession rightly uses the categories of Moral, Ceremonial, and Judicial laws, I don't think that the Ceremonial and Judicial law can be abstracted from one another in any simplistic way in our study of what is the general moral equity of the judicial law for today.
This is just an example. Moses is being threatened with excommunication from Israel by physical death - not being threatened with eternal death - (judicial), for not circumcising his son (ceremonial).
I agree that circumcision was a peculiarly important part of the ceremonial law, but still a ceremony.
