1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 75065 | ||
Answer You wrote: “Clearly you do not except what the book of Acts says about Peter and the sheet, and that all living things were now to be eaten.” First I must ask, do you except what the book of Acts prophesies? Acts 26:30 "26 …I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. (AS A WATCHMAN-EZEKIEL 33:4-YOU ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELVES) 28 TAKE HEED therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I KNOW THIS, that after my departing shall GRIEVOUS WOLVES (FALSE TEACHERS-NO TORAH) enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of YOUR OWN SELVES shall men arise, speaking PERVERSE THINGS (NO TORAH), to draw away disciples after them." Paul whom is filled with the Spirit prophesies that false teachers will join the “church” and that Gentiles (your own selves) will speak “perverse things”. The Gentile church fathers began distancing themselves from the Hebraic roots of the faith because it was politically incorrect to be associated with the Jews after 70 AD. Acts 10:9-28 9”On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have NEVER eaten any thing that is common or unclean. Peter is STILL keeping Torah because he will not eat anything COMMON OR UNCLEAN. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. What YHWH has CLEANSED do not consider it COMMON ANY LONGER. The point is the unclean thing (Gentile) has been CLEANSED. 16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.17Now while Peter doubted in himself WHAT THIS VISION which he had seen SHOULD MEAN, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, Firstly, this is a vision not a literal event, it’s symbolic. Second, Peter does not know what the SYMBOLIC VISION MEANT (surely he would know if it were to be taken literally). 18And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.19While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.20Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I HAVE SENT THEM. YHWH sent the VISION that calls unclean clean then He sends these Gentile men. 21Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?22And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. A side point, Cornelius “one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews” could only have this reputation among the Jews if he had joined the community. To “fear God” is to keep His Torah commandments. I believe he was the first recorded Gentile conversion because of the example he set. He obviously walked in Torah. 23Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.24And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but GOD HATH SHEWED ME (IN THE VISION) that I should not call any man common or unclean. Peter has a vision and YHWH tells not to call what YHWH has CLEANSED as being unclean. Cornelius (a Gentile who keeps Torah) is apparently accepted by the Apostle Peter as CLEAN because it would be “unlawful” (against Torah) for him to keep company with Cornelius. Is this all coincidence? No mention of food at all. If you have ears to hear, this has got to be clear. The myth that has been perpetuated by “grievous wolves” is a manifestation of what Paul prophesied. Shalom, Greg Boone |

giboone: The correct translation is HOLY SPIRIT, there is really no such thing as ghost in the NT. I will state you are more educated in defence of your religious ideas than almost anyone I have seen recently in our forum. However, being well educated in Biblical knowledge does not mean you have saving faith. I belive you have said faith based on works and keeping ritual, but you appear to be quite unorthodox in your understanding of what Christ is and has done. I am sorry for you. You have come to many wrong conclusions, and my deepest sympathy is extended to you. God have mercy upon you. I really have nothing much left to say. justme |

Justme, If I understand the Christian faith correctly it is an honor or at least your duty to lead a brother who has gone astray to repentance. If I am blind, please help me to see. Tell me where I have contradicted or misunderstood any verse of scripture. "Love thy neighbor as thy self", do not just walk away. The following is a link listing the 613 commandments contained in the law of Moses. http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm Please skim through them and let me know which ones you consider to be a burden. I believe once you see them in their entirety you will agree with Yeshua that "His yoke is easy and His burden is light." Shalom, Greg Boone |
