1 | what age does a boy become a man bibica | Bible general Archive 3 | Shlomoh | 157412 | ||
There is a Jewish custom that celebrate the child coming of age. It is called the Bar mitzvah or "rite of passage," a crossover from childhood to adulthood; a milestone in a Jew's life. Judaism deems a boy a "bar mitzvah" when he turns 13 and a girl becomes "bat mitzvah" when she turns 12. At that point the child, who is no longer a child in the eyes of Jewish law becomes responsible for his own deeds, spiritually, ethically, and morally. |

2 | Confused of the 10 Commandments. | Rom 13:8 | Shlomoh | 157411 | ||
God is not the author of confusion. Jesus came to fulfill the law (as in 10 Commandments) so it's the righteousness of Christ that we are to have faith in. The law is given to bring us to an end of ourselves so that we know that none of us can fulfill or keep the law as if you break one, you are guilty of all. Hence only Jesus is able to come and fulfill it. Once we know that we can never justify ourselves via the law, there really is only one way, which is THE way and that is via Christ. Believe on Him and what He has done for us. This is the gospel. |

3 | What is the righteousness of God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Shlomoh | 59489 | ||
Greetings. Rom 3:22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. Rom 4:3 What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Rom 4:4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. 5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him." To me righteousness of God means that I believe in what His word says I am. I am a child of God. I was made righteous because of what Christ did on the cross. I am justified thru faith (Rom 5:1) not by my own works but by the obedience of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am dead to sin. Sin no longer has control over me. I am now slave to righteousness. (The whole book of Rom 6) Best Regards, Luke |
