1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 74037 | ||
Hello CDBJ, You say I want to bring us back to the "law", the "law" never left. Anyone who was born again during the time Messiah was on earth was keeping Torah(law). Anyone that joined after that joined the local synagogue (they were not churches) until shortly after the Temple destruction of 70AD. Acts 15:21 "For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day." No, Gentiles were grafted into the olive branch, they did not replace it. Exodus 12:49 "One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." Numbers 15:15 "One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD." YHWH is not schizophrenic (Malachi 3:6). Torah applied to anyone who joined the community. Of course, they were nurtured just as a child would be nurtured until they mature. How does this verse fit into your theology? Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." One truth-seeker to another, Greg Boone |

Greetings Greg! You forgot one very important point about the relationship between early Christians and the synagogue. Acts 18:4 - "Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, ??Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.? 7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God." Paul was usually thrown out of the synagogue when he preached Christ! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

'Paul was usually thrown out of the synagogue when he preached Christ! :-)' Interesting point brother Tim!! :) ps I pray that your daughter is doing better. I have a similar situation only reversed: the child (me) is praying for the addicted parent. But all praise to our Father, for He has done great things and it's marvelous in our eyes!!
