21 | Why did Paul sacrifice in Temple? | Rom 14:20 | Magnum | 34271 | ||
I have read on occasion postings on this forum that New Testament believers are no longer under any obligation to keep or observe the Law or more correctly the Torah (teaching and instruction of G-d), why then did Paul go to the Temple with four new converts, pay their expenses related to their purification (Leviticus 14:9-20)if Torah is no longer to be observed or kept by NT believers. Paul continued to keep the Torah and never wrote or taught anything to the contrary. See Acts 21:24 and Acts 21:26-28 | ||||||
22 | Must all the Bible be taken literally? | Bible general Archive 1 | Magnum | 34143 | ||
I'm confused as to where New Covenant saints are to ignore Old Testament teaching and instruction (Law). G*d tells us in Leviticus 11 what is good for us for food, he should know he created us. In chapter he gives us his Holy days, not man made holidays for us to observe. As far as sacrifical laws ending for New Covenant belivers, why did Paul (Sha'ul) take four new greek converts to the Temple to make purification sacrifices in Acts 21:26-29 if these were abolished as you seem to believe? Jesus said that not one jot or tittle of the Law (Torah) would pass away. The sacrifice Paul was making is outlined in Leviticus 14 10-20 hope this helps. | ||||||
23 | Christ has not brought an end to the Law | Rom 10:4 | Magnum | 30262 | ||
At Romans 10:4 the KJ version we get the translation typical of most versions: "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth." But Greek telos, which usually gives us the English word "theology," usually means "goal,purpose, consumation," not "end or termination." The Messiah did not bring the "Law" or more proper the Torah "Teaching and instruction of G*d" to an end. Rather renders it, "the goal at which the Law aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts." However Paul's point throughout the passage, and throughout Romans, is that for Jews and Gentiles alike there has never been more than one route to righteousness, namley, trusting G*d; so that the Law is built on trusting G*d from beginning to end has always required faith. | ||||||
24 | DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS TREE | Judg 4:4 | Magnum | 23421 | ||

27 | DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS TREE | Judg 4:4 | Magnum | 23303 | ||
Sorry Hank, the Bible does talk about christmas trees, see Jeremiah 10:2-3 Don't learn the way of the heathen, don't be frightened by astrological signs, even if the heathen are afraid of them; for the customs of the people are nothing. They cut down a tree in the forest; a craftsmanworks it with his axe; they deck it with silver and gold. The fix it with hammer and nails, so that it won't move. Sounds like the X-mass tree to me. The Bible doesn't give the exact date of Jesus's birth but I do know it wouldn't be Dec. 25 for many reasons, first of which is that He would not have been born on the same day the pagans celebrated the birth of the son god, and second of all in the dead of winter in the Holy land sheperds are not in the fields with their flocks as in the biblical accounts. Jesus was more likely born during Succoth, or Tabernacles the time commerating the time when the children of Israel wandered in the desert and G-d dwelt among them. | ||||||
28 | Is the Law abolished? | Matt 5:17 | Magnum | 23299 | ||
I think most of the confusion surrounding this statement start with the mistransaltion of the Greek word plerosai which means "to fill." In Matthew 5:17 most if not all translations render it "to fulfill." The theological implication often drawn is that Jesus fulfilled all of the prophecies of the "Old Testament," so that none remain today for the Jews, and that he obeyed only relevant Torah (Law) command, so that no one needs to observe the Torah (Law) today. But these conclusions do not follow logically, and in fact they contradict Jesus's (Yeshua's) immediately preceding statement that he did not come to abolish (or destroy) the Law (Torah). It is my view (and the view of others) that Jesus came not to fulfill, but to fill the Law (Torah), and the ethical pronouncements of the Prophets full with their complete meaning, so that everyone can know all that obedience, to not only him, but also to the Torah of G*d entails. | ||||||
29 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | Magnum | 22273 | ||
What was Paul(Sha'ul) doing taking Greek converts to the Temple to make a sacrifice in Acts 21:26. Paul should have understood, if anyone, that sort of thing was no longer to be done. | ||||||
30 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | Magnum | 22125 | ||
I am not saying that one should or should not follow the teaching and instruction of G*d(Torah)to obtain or add to their salvation. Believe on the Lord Jesus the Messiah and you shall be saved period. What I and talking about is not legalism either. What I am talking about is the many blessings to be had by observing G*ds instructions for living our lives. Jesus observed Torah(he was the author) he observed the Biblical Feast and dietary laws. He came not only to be the lamb of G*d that takes away the sin of the World(he fullfilled the role of the Passover Lamb, being without spot or blemish)to take away the sins of the world. He came to show us how to live lives that were pleasing to G*d. The Torah was given long before Moses, G*d himself started animal sacrifice in the garden,Genesis 3:21 The Lord G*d made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. He shed the blood of animals to cover the sin of Adam and Eve. G*d must have instructed Cain and Able as to what was a proper offering that being an animal and not grain. If Torah was not around before Moses how could the Lord warn Cain that sin was crouching at his door? Thou shall not Murder. The Lord tried to give his Torah to his people directly in Exodus 20:18-19 they asked Moses to speak to them and not the Lord. I can't think of any of the Lords commandments that I don't want to follow, can you? maybe the one about stealing? or that one about murder? perhaps the one about adultery? Jesus made it very clear that can keep G*ds commands in Matthew 5:48 "Be perfect , therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect". It's not a matter of having to keep or follow the commands of the Lord it's a matter of loving him so much that you want to. The Lord says in John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command. | ||||||
31 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | Magnum | 22105 | ||
First of all most if not all of the Christian community does not have a proper understanding of the Law. The Hebrew word that has been poorly translated as Law is Torah. The Hebrew word Torah is more accuratly, G*ds Teaching and Instruction. So Yeshua(Jesus) Came to fullfill G*ds teaching and instruction not to abolish it.Another missconception is that the Jews were saved by following the "Law" this teaching if far from the truth about what the "Law"(Torah) is for, following Torah Brings blessing into the life of the believer. G*d has always saved by his grace, his plan has never changed, he is the same yesterday ,today, and tommorrow. | ||||||
