1 | Paul’s missionary work created a controv | 2 Tim 2:15 | grafted in | 216542 | ||
Good afternoon John In Acts 10:28 Peter himself tells what God intended him to learn from the vision ("God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean") and verse 29 he tells of his response to the revelation ("Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for"). No word about food. As far as the situation regarding Peter and the gentiles in Galatia - Peter was a man, quite capable of making mistakes. He messed up and Paul called him on the carpet for it, lesson learned. How about Mal. 3:6? |

Yes, peter was a man capable of mistakes, but what was the mistake? It was regarding his "HYPOCRISY" -like so many today- regarding eating the food that gentiles eat (which is not kosher by the way) and then when the Jewish "food snobs" showed up, he refused to eat with them! Did you actually read Galatians? Or perhaps, you read it like so many other judaizing food snobs, with your eyes closed? Sheesh! There have been many evangelists that would have had little effect on indigenous people had they not ate what they ate! Having to rely on the kindness of natives for food; had they been judiazing food snobs, they would have starved to death before they could have given them the Word of God! John |

John Hypocrisy is a mistake that causes greater errors, but it can be corrected and overcome, and I'm sure Peter won the battle. Name calling is a cheap shot and sure not christ-like. I hope no one but the regulars saw your post! |

Yes he did overcome, so why didn't you? If you think my language is harsh, read what Paul says about Judaizers. Gal 1:8-9 "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!" And, Gal 5:12 "I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves." The mutilation Paul is talking about is castration, by the way. Not a very pretty picture for those who try to judaize the Holy Word of God! And not very nice either, is it? I'd say mine was rather mild in comparison to what we see regarding judaizers who wish to put themselves and others under the law, written in the Holy Writ, my friend. Gal 3:1-3 "You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Gal 3:10 "For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM." Those who are going to keep 'any part' of the law, better keep ALL of it, or they are condemned already. If you want to talk about cheep shots. Many of those who are the ones who cheapen the Word of God, are those who do so with their Judaizing. John |

John, Oh I have overcome, breaking thru some 2000 years of antisemitism, of distancing gentiles from anything that smacks of Jewishness for hatred's sake. Deu 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Deu 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. Deu 30:12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Deu 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Lev 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. Lev 19:37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. Deu 5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. What commandments are all these verses talking about? They have to be what God told Moses to tell the people, He hasn't changed His marching orders. The New Testament is not a book of new rules and regulations or a new religion, it's a wonderful God-inspired commentary on how to live out God's Torah thru His Son. Except for the life of the "Promised One" and the history of the early community, there is nothing new in it. It's at least 1/2 of quotes and explanations of what was already written. If you read God's instructions and attempt to do them in the letter (and not in the spirit of which they were intended) then of course you cannot do them all. You would even have to say that Jesus Himself broke many commandments in the performing of others. He broke the sabbath by healing, life always takes precedence. David ate the showbread which was unlawful but again, life takes precedence. Jesus and His men ate the standing wheat while journeying on a sabbath (the taking of it wasn't unlawful but the rolling it open in the hands was work). The levites and priests actually did temple work on sabbath. You gotta use your God given brain John. God instructions on how to live godly righteous lives has not changed and it's not impossible to obey. The one thing that did change is that there is now an atonement for blatant disobedience - Jesus. |

Well, I'm so glad to hear that you have arrived. :-) The only thing you have missed my friend, is that NO one ever kept the law nor was or is anyone able to keep it, save Christ himself. And by the way, I never implied that there is hatred for Jews but only for false teaching and the Judaizing of God's Holy Word! Which you are guilty of by the way. Thank God for His mercy! Gal 3:23-25 "But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus." The Law was our tutor, our teacher. Our tutor now, is Christ, who instructs us through the Holy Spirit. "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26 If you insist on the last word you may have it, I don't have time nor inclination to argue with nonsense. If you want to read Galatians with blinders on, I cant do anything about that. :-( John |
