Hello Bub "As for your closing question, 'Do you believe that keeping the Torah contributes in any way to "justification"?' Well let’s see: Ro 2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." This is an invalid use. You have already stated that the law was what the Pharisees had put in place and was common use of life at the time. Paul being a Pharisee would have had the same understanding. Therefore, by your own reasoning, this "law" has nothing to do with Torah. Steve |

Hello Bub "Read all of the below statements and insert 'the customs and commands as defined by popular usage' in the place of 'law'. These statements make perfect sense in that context" But it makes no sense if Paul was confused on what Torah truly was. He could not have made these statements: Romans 7:12 (ESV) So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. Romans 10:5 (ESV) For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. If Paul's understanding was corrupt, we have no hope of using his writings accurately and should cut them out of our Bibles. Steve |

963 | Was Saul Spirit-filled? | 1 Sam 10:10 | srbaegon | 53887 | ||
Hello Ray, You are confusing "filling" with "indwelling." There were occasions in the OT where the Holy Spirit filled someone for a task (Exod 31:2-5; Micah 3:8). Steve |

Hello Bub "Acts 21:20...The subject at hand was not Jewish believers, but newly converted gentiles. If they were exempt, what was the point of mentioning Moses, synagogues and Sabbath?" The Gentile converts were mentioned, but the emphasis of the exchange is on Jewish believers. "Acts 21:25...Are you saying that these are the all inclusive guidelines for all gentiles for all time?" No. I'm saying these suggestions were given at that time so that the new believers from Gentile backgrounds would not be a stumbling-block to the new believers from a Jewish background. They have no other purpose. I used it to show how those former Gentiles were shown to be forbearing to their brethren born under the Law. The Law had no place with these former Gentiles. "AC 17:1 “When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a JEWISH SYNAGOGUE. [2] AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, PAUL WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,..." Excellent point. My mistake. Steve |

Hello Bub #1 "Let me rephrase the question……which of your role models are gentiles? All the ones you mention are Jewish." All?! I only mentioned one--the Lord Jesus Christ. I could mention the apostle Paul who was of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews but considered it all rubbish in view of Christ Jesus (Phil 3:5-9); who also stated emphatically that positionally there is neither Jew nor Gentile (Gal 3:28) and has made of the two groups, one new man (Eph 2:14-16). "You…..Romans 8:3-4 Me……see Eze 36:26-27" I know this Scripture well. Jesus referred to it in John 3. What's your point? #2 "You don’t like Peter? Are his epistles then not credible? Wasn’t Peter led of the Spirit just like Paul? This causes a problem…..Isn’t this the same Paul who said, 'You, then, why do you judge your brother?' (Ro 14:10)." I'm not judging Peter. Paul already did that. I like Peter's epistle a great deal, both in study and teaching. #3 "See Eze 36:26-27" Meaning? Steve |

Hello Bub "This is a command? You will eradicate the 4th commandment on the basis of Acts 20:7?" No, it's not a command. It was their practice. They had no qualms about meeting on the first day of the week for this. "This is Passover, a feast of the LORD. I was pretty much looking for your justification for xmas and easter…….the holiest days on the Christian calendar so I’ve been told." It's not the Passover but the Lord's Supper. There's a difference. As for Xmas and Easter, I will not justify their existence. "[W]hat does [Jesus] intrinsically mean? By following the lexical history I provided, you can see it means "Yah saves." "Do you know of any other historical figure who has had his name changed from culture to culture? (other than santa claus)." Most of the non-English immigrants of this country before 1900 including my own family name. But you asked for prominent historical figures. John Calvin comes to mind. His given name is Jean Cauvin. "Notice from your own references, the proper English translation is 'Joshua'……..where did the word 'Jesus' come from?" I provided that--[Middle English, from Late Latin Iesus, from Greek Iesous, from Hebrew yeshua, from yehoshua, Joshua.] Steve |

Hello Bub 1 Sa. is not saying "if you obey you don’t have to worry about the sacrifice." Not at all. Saul was offering a freewill sacrifice with something the Lord never wanted. It was basically offering strange fire. This had nothing to do with the required sacrifice for sins or trespasses. "What is 'the heart of faith'?" Philip. 3:9 (ESV) and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— "What is living by ones faith?" Faith is not obedience. Faith is evidenced (James 2:14-26) and increased (Luke 17:5-10) by obedience. Steve |

Hello Bub "Who commanded Sunday? (chapter and verse please)." Acts 20:7 (ESV) On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread... "[A]s the LORD's feasts are different from yours....whose are you observing? (chapter and verse please)." 1 Cor. 11:23-25 (ESV) For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." [25] In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." "[W]hat does 'Jesus' mean?" Je·sus -- A teacher and prophet whose life and teachings form the basis of Christianity. Christians believe Jesus to be Son of God and the Christ. [Middle English, from Late Latin Iesus, from Greek Iesous, from Hebrew yeshua, from yehoshua, Joshua.] "Who are your gentile role models?" #1 Lord Jesus Christ who fulfilled the Law on our behalf. Romans 8:3-4 (ESV) For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, [4] in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. #2 Paul, who jumped on Peter for causing Gentiles to live like Jews. Galatians 2:14 (ESV) But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?" #3 The church which is Christ's body. 1 Cor. 12:12-13 (ESV) For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. [13] For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. -------------------------------- Acts 21:20 is speaking of Jews in Jerusalem who still retained ties to the Law. Gentiles were exempt. Acts 21:25 (ESV) But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality." Acts 17 is not Gentiles wanting to hang out with Jews, but Jews wanting to hang out with Gentiles. Paul was speaking to Greeks on the Areopagus. Steve |

Hello Bub What I am saying is "to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams" (1 Sam 15:22). God delights in obedience, which is what Jesus gave Him. The pattern of walk is not a strict adherence to a proscribed law, otherwise Saul's sacrifice would have been valid. It is the heart of faith which God desires--"but the righteous shall live by his faith" (Hab 2:4). Steve |

970 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53471 | ||
Hello Bub No, I'm not denying that passage. But how did Jesus walk that we should imitate? Total obedience to the Father. Philip. 2:5-8 (ESV) Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, [6] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, [8] he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Steve |

Hello Simchat Torah You are correct--we have different understanding of Torah. It appears you are viewing Torah as the sum total of God's revelation to man, and I see it as the Mosaic Covenant. Steve |
||||||
972 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53316 | ||
Hello Simchat Torah "We are to walk in the Torah as Yeshua did." Not so. We are released from the law. Romans 7:6 (ESV) But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit. Steve |

973 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53315 | ||
Hello Simchat Torah Simply that Simon Peter called Jesus the Christ (i.e. Messiah, Anointed One). It was a plain identification of who the Lord was and is. To say He is not the Messiah prophecied in the OT is a gross misunderstanding of Jesus' person. Steve |

974 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53312 | ||
Hello Simchat Torah You better go back and look again. Matthew 16:16 (ESV) Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Steve |

975 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 53241 | ||
Hello nsgrace You make odd statements about the Lord Jesus Christ being a child of Abraham and David only by faith. Not so. Luke 3 places Mary in the direct physical line of David and Abraham. Besides, why would Christ need faith? He is the very reality of all that God is. Steve |

Hello Rick_01 I agree with you that John 3 is tied to Ezek 36. To me, it's obvious. Steve |
||||||
977 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | srbaegon | 53115 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I agree that Logos (Christ) was at His side, and that God's grace has been planned before the world was made. But they are not the same. See John 1:17--Jesus was the avenue through which grace and truth came. Steve |
||||||
978 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | srbaegon | 53113 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth It's not one and the same. God demonstrated grace before the incarnation. Deut. 7:6-8 (ESV) "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. [7] It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, [8] but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt." Steve |

Hello Rit What about this? Luke 11:5-10 (ESV) And he said to them, "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves, [6] for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; [7] and he will answer from within, 'Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything'? [8] I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. [9] And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Steve |

Hello Makarios Aren't you are just being more spiritually minded and following Abraham's example who by faith "went to live in the land of promise" (Heb 11:9)? Of course, if you were REALLY spiritual you'd be "living in tents." Steve |
