1 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | EdB | 54348 | ||
John I think what Bubba has done was to take the pieces of Judaism and Christianity that he agreed with put them together in a very logical way and got a finished product that sounded good, tasted good, felt good, looked good, smelt good, however it wasn’t the complete and unadulterated word of God. When we take the Word of God and try to form something that appeals to our sense knowledge we quickly reveal what is taking precedent in our life. We have allowed our flesh to rule where our spirit should. John as you know this is common today within Christianity, too many are taking the pieces of God they like or agree with and placing them together to form what they want to worship. While most if not all of what they say is birthed in truth omitting any portion of God to form another is idolatry. Bubba is not worshipping God but rather the statues, precepts, laws, traditions, commands, festivals and customs God set down to give His people direction. While they are all most excellent they are to be in subjection to God not elevated to his level. EdB |

Ed, I'll thank you to cease using your psychic abilities to tell others what it is that I worship. Bub |

Bubba I have no psychic powers I only commented on what you said you believed. If that insulted you I’m sorry, maybe you ought to reread what it is you wrote. If I put words in your mouth I’m sorry but I think I fairly represented what it was you said. For a Christian gentile to try to put himself under Jewish law, tradition or custom is sad. While each and every non Jewish Christian should have a warm spot in their heart for Jews and Jewish tradition to put yourself under Jewish law other than what was decided by the council of Jerusalem is shameful. Jesus died to set us free and we keep trying to bind ourselves, to be it seems to cheapen grace. Brother I have studied Jewish culture, life, religion, law and tradition. I understand how Jesus is a fulfillment of the festivals (by the way you did an excellent job on that). However I do not want or see a need to adhere to anything other than what has already been set down and accepted as orthodox Christianity. If you desire to become more Jewish or adhere to Jewish law and custom fine but be very careful. You may find what your hunting for, but most probably your going to fall into a trap. That trap is the law becomes more important than THE relationship. EdB |

Dear Ed, You said, “I understand how Jesus is a fulfillment of the festivals”. Do you celebrate the festivals with that in mind? Bub |

Dear Bub, It is written: Col 2:16,17 "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." I suggest you revisit Hebrews 4 for further instruction in righteouness. Note: Sarcasem is not an endearing trait. John |

Dear John: You quoted, “Col 2:16,17 "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." What exactly were you trying to convey to me……keeping in mind that the topic at hand was “hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ”. (v8). Thanks………Bub |

Dear Bub, I was replying to your post to Ed in which you implied that he was remiss in not observing festival days. (Dear Ed, You said, “I understand how Jesus is a fulfillment of the festivals”. ..Do you celebrate the festivals with that in mind?) This thread has become unwieldy. I suggest we begin a new one. John Bub |
