1 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | Beseder | 153522 | ||
Hi Doc, I hope you are not assuming that anyone who is interested in honoring G-d by being responsive to His laws is automatically into "works-based stuff." I am saved by grace through faith, just as you are.. and also, along with the psalmist, His law is (still) my delight. It's true that I am called to be a witness to the Jewish people that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah the prophets wrote about... so I may be more interested in this topic than you might be... but I just wanted to ask you not to assume that a person who values the Law (which Yeshua incidentally referred to as including the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings-- the entire Hebrew Bible) must be into some "works-based stuff." G-d bless you, Beseder |

2 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | lionheart | 153525 | ||
Dear Beseder, Happy freedom day and Gods blessings to you and welcome to the forum. Matthew 5:17-20 For space sake I will just refer to verse 17 of Matthew five. VS 17- Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets:I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them(NIV).Read the rest of the passage refered to above,it carries a lot of weight.Romans 15:4 2 Peter 1:21 2 Timothy 3:16,17 It's all Gods Word from Genesis to Revelation. We can ill afford to neglect or negate any part of it. I recently heard this coment and it just blew me away. It wasnt like it wasnt something I was not aware of,oft times we ignore things that are the most obvious. But a friend of mine made this statement- The Old Testament is the physical manifestation of the spiritual truths taught in the New Testament.God has given us a gold mine.Why not tap into all of it's riches and resources. Thats what God wants us to do,thats what we must do if we are to lead the lives as the men and women of God He has called us to be. Your brother in Christ, lionheart |

I agree completely, Lionheart. I think Matthew 5:17 is an often over-looked verse that we should ponder. I read somewhere that Jewish people are taught to especially love the Torah while Christians are often taught to discount it. That surely could not have been G-d's intention for His children. All of His word is precious and valuable to us. Like Rav Shaul (Paul) says in Timothy, "All Scripture is inspired by G-d and profitable...." I love it that the Bible is the Word of G-d, and Yeshua is the Word made flesh. :) The word does not contradict itself. There is One Author, and everything He said is written for our benefit and edification. He is the Only Wise G-d. :) Shalom to you, Beseder |
