"Belief in the N.T. denotes more than intellectual assent to a fact. The word (Gk. pistis, noun; pisteuo, verb) means *adherence to, committal to, faith in, reliance upon, trust in* a person or an object, and this involves not only the consent of the mind, but an act of the heart and will of the subject. "Whosoever believeth in him" is equivalent to "whosoever trusts in or commits himself to him [Christ]." Belief, then is synonymous with faith, which in the N.T. consists of believing and receiving what God has revealed" (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). | ||||||

"No one doubts that Yeshua (Jesus) kept the Shabbat on the correct day. Had he not, he would have violated the Torah making him a sinner (1 Jn. 3:4)" ____________________ Will the Real Sabbath Please Stand Up? "...the burden of proof is on the other side to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the weekly cycle has been altered since the time of Yeshua the Messiah. If they cannot prove this, then no amount of clever reasoning either from secular or Scriptural sources matters, for it is all irrelevant to the issue." ____________________ The "Lunar Sabbath" or Saturday Sabbath: Will the Real Sabbath Please Stand Up? by N’tan (Nathan) Lawrence 'And while most Sabbatarians never even think to question the seeming inviolate nature of the weekly cycle, but unquestioningly assume that it has never changed, there is, nonetheless, a very small, fringe group of Sabbatarians who believe that the weekly cycle has indeed changed. These individuals are vocal beyond their size and some can be extremely aggressive, divisive and downright mean-spirited in their zeal to convert the world to their opinion. Some of these individuals are very biblically learned and have swept some who are subpar to them in learning and scholarship into the belief that the weekly cycle has been changed and that the seventh day today is not the seventh day of creation, or of the early Hebrews, nor yet even of Yeshua or the Apostolic Fathers. These individuals claim, with little or no supporting evidence, that the weekly cycle was changed after the first century and before the middle of the fourth century A.D. 'There is a group of secular scholars who are part historian and part astronomer whose profession it is to study matters such as chronology, calendars and the weekly cycle. These scholars are employed by governments to keep time and to insure that records are correct. If our timing is off, then how can we fire a missile and hit a target? Or fire a rocket and hit the moon? These individuals are called chronologists and they have definite opinions about the weekly cycle. The “lunar Sabbath” proponents do not quote these scientists, and for good reason. But we will, for we are not afraid of the truth, and the truth needs no defense. (...) 'Upon reading the written explanations and apologies of the “lunar Sabbath” advocates one could be easily swayed to their position by their admittedly in-depth biblical understanding and often-times scholarly approach, and sometime cleaver polemic. But upon careful analysis, the holes in their line of reasoning become readily apparent. It is not the scope of this work to address all the issues they throw up. Those of us who keep the Shabbat on Saturday don’t have to, for the burden of proof is on the other side to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the weekly cycle has been altered since the time of Yeshua the Messiah. If they cannot prove this, then no amount of clever reasoning either from secular or Scriptural sources matters, for it is all irrelevant to the issue. 'How can I aver this so forcefully? It is rather quite simple logic. No one doubts that Yeshua kept the Shabbat on the correct day. Had he not, he would have violated the Torah making him a sinner (1 Jn. 3:4) and not the perfect sacrificial lamb slain for the redemption of sinful man. If he kept a “lunar Shabbat”, as the “lunar Sabbath” advocates maintain, then the burden of proof is upon them to prove that the weekly cycle was changed after the time of Yeshua. If it can be proved that the weekly cycle indeed did not change from the time of Yeshua until now, then the lunar Sabbath advocates have lost the argument and everything else they say or write, no matter how persuasive or scholarly it may be, is moot and irrelevant.' ____________________ To read the entire article, go to: (http://www.tnnonline.net/theonews/ten-commandments/lunar-sabbath/) |

The Sabbath in Acts 'Among the several references to the Sabbath in Acts (1:12; 13:14-44; 15:21; 17:2; 18:4; 20:7) there is little evidence to suggest that the earliest Christian communities deviated from the traditional Sabbath observed on the seventh day. The lone reference to a gathering "On the first day of the week" (20:7) most likely reflects an emerging Christian consensus that the first day was an appropriate day on which to meet for worship and celebrating the Lord's Supper.' ____________________ (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) |

'Feasts and Festivals of Israel 'The major festivals of Old Testament Israel were, in calendar order, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles or Ingathering). After the exile, the Jews added memorial days for the fall of Jerusalem (eventually fixed as the Ninth of Ab), Purim, and the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah). In addition, the Israelites observed the Sabbath every week and the feast of the New Moon every lunar month.' ____________________ Paragraph 1 of the article 'Feasts and Festivals of Israel' in Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology To read the rest of the article go to (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) |

531 | what is a covenant | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 117244 | ||
"Because a covenant confirmed between two human parties was bilateral, some scholars have concluded that the covenant Yahweh established with human beings is also bilateral. This is not the case" "Covenant "The word "covenant, " infrequently heard in conversation, is quite commonly used in legal, social (marriage), and religious and theological contexts. "The Idea of Covenant. The term "covenant" is of Latin origin (con venire), meaning a coming together. It presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities. In religious and theological circles there has not been agreement on precisely what is to be understood by the biblical term. It is used variously in biblical contexts. In political situations, it can be translated treaty; in a social setting, it means a lifelong friendship agreement; or it can refer to a marriage. (...) "The covenants referred to above were between two equal parties; this means that the covenant relationship was bilateral. The bond was sealed by both parties vowing, often by oath, that each, having equal privileges and responsibilities, would carry out their assigned roles. ************************************************* "Because a covenant confirmed between two human parties was bilateral, some scholars have concluded that the covenant Yahweh established with human beings is also bilateral. This is not the case. God initiated, determined the elements, and confirmed his covenant with humanity. It is unilateral. Persons are recipients, not contributors; they are not expected to offer elements to the bond; they are called to accept it as offered, to keep it as demanded, and to receive the results that God, by oath, assures will not be withheld." ************************************************* Bibliography Information. Elwell, Walter A. "Entry for 'Covenant'". "Evangelical Dictionary of Theology". (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/BakerEvangelicalDictionary) 1997. |

The word "YHWH" ("Yahweh" or "Jehovah") occurs in the original language text of the OT nearly 7,000 times. You write: 'the Jehovas witnessess, one of the changes that they add and remove to the Bible was the word "JEHOVAH" almost all of the word "LORD" "GOD" was change into the word "Jehovah". This is clearly an add remove which was prohibited by the Bible.' Actually the reverse is true. In fact, in almost all of our English translations, the word "YHWH" has been changed into the word "LORD" -- and not the other way around. Moreover, this is merely translating the Bible from one language into another and does not constitute adding to or taking away. |

Lorenzo: The Bible NEVER contradicts itself. I strongly urge you to disregard the following: 'When we see an obvious conflict like marriage and divorce contrasted by the two, we must allow the NT to "outrank" the OT, as Jesus took the OT to the cross with him because He fulfilled it. The Law of Moses and the OT has no authority to guide us in our spiritual relationship.' ____________________ Are We Not Subject To The Law of God? Romans 3:31 (ESV) Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. (Amplified) Do we then by [this] faith make the Law of no effect, overthrow it or make it a dead letter? Certainly not! On the contrary, we confirm and establish and uphold the Law. (GOD'S WORD version) Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings. (From "Not Subject To The Law of God?" Part 8. www.yashanet.com/library/under8.htm All following Scripture quotes are from the GOD'S WORD version of the Bible, unless otherwise noted.) "The teaching that 'we are free from the Torah,' is a product of hundreds of years of anti-Semitic theology and is in opposition to Scripture. The 'New Testament,' when put back into its Hebrew context, says this about the Torah and believers in Yeshua:" Matthew 5:17 "Don't ever think that I came to set aside Moses' Teachings or the Prophets. I didn't come to set them aside but to make them come true." James 2:10 If someone obeys all of God's laws except one, that person is guilty of breaking all of them. Matt 19:17 Jesus said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter into life, obey the commandments." Revelation 12:17 The serpent became angry with the woman. So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God's commands and hold on to the testimony of Jesus. John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. John 15:10 If you obey my commandments, you will live in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commandments, and in that way I live in his love. Romans 3:31 Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings. 1 John 2:3 We are sure that we know Christ if we obey his commandments. 2:4 The person who says, "I know him," but doesn't obey his commandments is a liar. The truth isn't in that person. 2:5 But whoever obeys what Christ says is the kind of person in whom God's love is perfected. That's how we know we are in Christ. 1 John 5:3 (Revised Standard Version) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments (Greek: entole [Strong's #1785]: ethically used of the commandments in the Mosaic law). And his commandments (entole) are not burdensome. --kalos |

536 | What do put in the perfect study bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 117545 | ||
My top recommendations are the Ryrie Study Bible and the MacArthur Study Bible. What would make the MacArthur nearly perfect would be the addition of a concordance. The best one bound with a Bible that I've seen is the NASB concordance in the Zondervan NASB Study Bible. It is 101 pages in a 3-column format. That's a lot of concordance. |

My brother in the Lord, Studying the whole Bible (OT and NT) is EXACTLY what I've been doing. For a change, I have been reading and learning about the Torah (Law) and the Tanakh (OT) without having it filtered through 2,000 years of Gentile Christian teaching and commentary. You write: "how do you reconcile these scriptures with your insistance that the OT is still applicable to us today?" Rowdy, I have posted several Notes to you explaining and defending my understanding of the believer's relationship to the Law. In my answers, I have included much Scripture. So, considering the Scriptures I've already provided, my question for you is: How do you reconcile THESE Scriptures with your insistence that the OT is NOT applicable to us today?" '...I already told you and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again?...' (AMPLIFIED John 9:27) Rowdy, I appreciate you and your interest. And I do not wish to be drawn into a debate. In more than a dozen recent posts I have said what I have to say and explained what I can explain regarding the Law. I assure you my mind always remains open to the Word of God in its entirety, as I am sure yours does also. Once again, thank you for your interest and input. Grace and shalom, kalos |

"Contradictions disprove truth." The NT does not contradict the OT. It is not true 'that the moral absolutes of the Law are no longer applicable to us. The New Covenant does not "do away" with the Law in that sense, but rather writes it in our hearts* (Jeremiah 31:31). 'For any system of truth to be valid, it must be consistent with itself. Contradictions disprove truth. If the New Covenant were to contradict previously given scriptures in the Law or the Prophets, then the New Covenant would not be true' (Seven Pillars of Messianic Judaism, Asher Intrater, 2003**). ____________________ *writes it in our hearts. NASB Jeremiah 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 'It takes unacceptable theological legerdemain to conclude that when God writes the Torah (law) on hearts he changes it into something other than the Torah' (Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1988)! **"Seven Pillars of Messianic Judaism" To read the entire quote, see ID# 115300. |

Hank: I agree. Moreover, if God has effectively nullified two-thirds of his Word by replacing the Old Testament, then Jesus must have been confused when He said: "I have not come to abolish the Law." (For those having trouble with the English language, "fulfill" does not mean "abolish". If it did, then Jesus was saying: "I have not come to abolish the law, but to abolish it." That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?) Shalom, kalos |

Adhering to a "higher standard" does not abolish the original commandment.'In the Sermon on the Mount, Yeshua does not contradict the Ten Commandments, but rather instructs us as to what is the true "heart-meaning" of the Law. In that sense He makes the Law even more demanding.' You write: 'One of the 10 commandments was to make the Sabbath holy which goes in direct opposition to the NT command by example of worship assembly on the "first day of the week."' There is no such thing as a "command by example." No example or consensus supersedes one of God's commandments. Further, the OT does not go in opposition to the NT. Nor do we test the OT by comparing it to the NT. A careful reading of the NT will show that it (the NT) is appraised and validated by its harmony with the OT. "If the New Covenant were to contradict previously given scriptures in the Law or the Prophets, then the New Covenant would not be true." The Sabbath in Acts 'Among the several references to the Sabbath in Acts (1:12; 13:14-44; 15:21; 17:2; 18:4; 20:7) there is little evidence to suggest that the earliest Christian communities deviated from the traditional Sabbath observed on the seventh day. The lone reference to a gathering "On the first day of the week" (20:7) most likely reflects an emerging Christian consensus that the first day was an appropriate day on which to meet for worship and celebrating the Lord's Supper.' ____________________ (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) |
