601 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | skccab | 192371 | ||
Hi Jesusman, Wow, now two lines of thought have been opened up!! I hadn't really thought about it in connection with some verses of Rev (at least not consciously). I thought though that in the judgment of the unsaved in Rev, we the believers were already there, having gone through the millennium? So, possibly the difference between the sheep and the goats isn't saved or not saved, but those who walked the walk and those who were carnal and only talked the walk? Still learning, Cheri |

Hey JohnD, Yes, we received our judgment of "not guilty" at the Cross. Our judgment, therefore, is of works done or not done, do they stand or fall, so it's of rewards or lack of rewards. Cheri |

Hey there, I was answering with the "we" being believers, not unbelievers. Maybe I should have stated so.... Cheri |

Hiya Steve, I don't feel that it is a burden and the "Law" that the Jews couldn't bear was all the traditional oral additions that the elders kept throwing into it. Yeshua said this, too. Mat 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples, Mat 23:2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat: Mat 23:3 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not. Mat 23:4 Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. Mat 23:5 But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, So what do we do with the above verses, especially the one where Yeshua tells us to "do and observe" these things? The original Torah as recorded in the Books of Moses show me a God full of care and concern for His people (and even included those called strangers in their land). These the Jews "chose" not to obey. :-) Cheri |

Morning Steve, Thanks for the response. I read Galatians over the weekend and my understanding is that it was talking about a group of born-Jews (not practicing Jews) who were just trying to stir up trouble (and doing a decent job of it). The verse you quoted does say that Gentiles don't HAVE to, but doesn't say NOT to - so we're still working with the terms forever, perpetual, permanent etc (used in different Bible versions as available in e-Sword). Don't get me wrong, Steve, I'm not trying to spur an argument, I really am having trouble reconciling these ideas. And right now, I'm really struggling with the "forever" things. Still learning :-) Cheri |

Thanks for the response, Jesusman, and your answer seems reasonable but even with an amendment, doesn't forever still mean forever? If I missed it, please, bring to my attention, but I don't recall anywhere where Yeshua stated not to observe the feasts, fasts and holidays? (Granted, once the Temple was destroyed the sacrificial system had to stop because the Temple was the place God Himself had designated as the place to perform such offerings.) But I don't recall where we are told NOT to observe the days that God told His people to observe forever. :-) Cheri |

Jesusman, What do we do with the terms "forever," "continual," "perpetual" when God designated the feasts and offerings (in especially Leviticus)? The Bible says that God knows the ending from the beginning so why didn't he specify 'do this till Messiah comes'? But, even knowing, He said "forever." Heb. 13:8 says God is the same, yeaterday, today and forever. Is that the same forever as in the Torah? Mat. 28:20 Yeshua said "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Is that the same forever as in the Torah? Or does "forever" mean different things? Cheri |

Hi Doc, Thank you for explaining those words. I'm still working within the framework of the 1st-2nd grade reader :-), and don't know alot of the theological terms. Cheri |

Good morning Azure, John wasn't talking about years, but in maturity (and I love these verses): 1Jn 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 1Jn 2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 1Jn 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Don't you just love those verses too? I know you knew what I was talking about but I printed them cos they are so rich. Not at all a bad thing being a "father." I would that I were there at my late age :-). But even the writer of those words had to take his baby steps, no? Cheri |

Azure, You didn't embarrass me. My own stupidity did. I should have been clearer that I KNEW Doc wasn't really yelling. He might be firm, but I see him as St John speaks of - a father - and sometimes we "little children" and "young sons" need someone with some righteous firmness to step in and shake us up a bit. He's a dear, and so are you. Cheri |

Hi Doc, Maybe I shouldn't have grouped so big, the "church," that is. I was talking about the ones I had visited in my search for a home church. There was just so much gossiping and backstabbing being done right there in the sanctuary (and in front of a newbie to boot!!!) and that's when I decided there had to be something better. That's what I didn't want to be a part of. If I want to hear bad reports about folks I'll stay at work, not go to a church. Thanks for the rest of your note. I have read it and I will give it another read as well. I have Galatians bookmarked for a complete read-through over my weekend midnight shifts coming up :-) Also, I have no idea what nomanianism or antinomanianism is? So, if I'm one of those I don't know it. I don't believe that I am legalistic at all. Cheri |

Hi Doc, I thank you for your encouragement. I'm just trying to find the "happy medium," if you will, between what the church has become (of which I really don't want to be a part) and what it started out to be before the break between the Jewish believers and the non-Jewish believers. And I really do believe that there is such a place. I don't believe that we as believers are under any "bondage" to the Torah, but I do believe that it is not to be tossed away as unneedful. I've been studying Torah with the same fervor that I have previously studied the Gospels and Letters, and it is opening up my understanding of the Gospels and Letters (and the Acts, as well) like never before. I'm seeing and understanding things that never made sense before. And you are absolutely right, following Torah will do nothing, on its own, outside of the work of Yeshua. I too like the term "kind advisor", that's nice; but I also see Torah as a Lamp that just keeps burning brighter and brighter the more I delve into it. As you stated - thru the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to live in compliance with the moral law of God - but we have to know what that moral law is. Yes? And I believe that it's found in its fulness in the Torah. Once again, thanks for your encouragement. Still searching, Cheri |

WOS, It took me so long to get my post written you already had posted again. I'm very slow, I only know "by heart" a few verses, so it takes me awhile to find what I know is there. I think you have it right about the actual distinction between clean and unclean foods - but the strangled and the blood fall into a different category. From what I understand the edict against things strangled is that the life breath was cut off, it wasn't a clean slaughter; and the blood as we all know represents the life and we should not ingest the life's blood of a living thing. I'm very new to all this so if I am wrong, I really would appreciate correction and will give you my apology now, WOS. Cheri |

WOS and Doc, To me that's a very sad thing - the gentiles should have learned to live along side the Jewish believers. After all it was(is) their Messiah that brought salvation to us. It was through the Jewish people that we can have the Torah (and it is alive and well). I do not believe that we can pick and choose which of the Lord's commandments from the Tanakh to observe than we can pick and choose of those in the NT. :-) Lev 18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Lev 18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. What does America look like? Deu 28:9 The LORD shall establish thee a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. We have been grafted into this promise. Jos 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. And grafted into this. The Lord's yoke is not difficult or burdensome, it's easy and a delight. Psa 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psa 119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. Pro 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Pro 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. Pro 6:22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Cheri |
