John, Oh I have overcome, breaking thru some 2000 years of antisemitism, of distancing gentiles from anything that smacks of Jewishness for hatred's sake. Deu 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Deu 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. Deu 30:12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Deu 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Lev 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. Lev 19:37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. Deu 5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. What commandments are all these verses talking about? They have to be what God told Moses to tell the people, He hasn't changed His marching orders. The New Testament is not a book of new rules and regulations or a new religion, it's a wonderful God-inspired commentary on how to live out God's Torah thru His Son. Except for the life of the "Promised One" and the history of the early community, there is nothing new in it. It's at least 1/2 of quotes and explanations of what was already written. If you read God's instructions and attempt to do them in the letter (and not in the spirit of which they were intended) then of course you cannot do them all. You would even have to say that Jesus Himself broke many commandments in the performing of others. He broke the sabbath by healing, life always takes precedence. David ate the showbread which was unlawful but again, life takes precedence. Jesus and His men ate the standing wheat while journeying on a sabbath (the taking of it wasn't unlawful but the rolling it open in the hands was work). The levites and priests actually did temple work on sabbath. You gotta use your God given brain John. God instructions on how to live godly righteous lives has not changed and it's not impossible to obey. The one thing that did change is that there is now an atonement for blatant disobedience - Jesus. |

John Hypocrisy is a mistake that causes greater errors, but it can be corrected and overcome, and I'm sure Peter won the battle. Name calling is a cheap shot and sure not christ-like. I hope no one but the regulars saw your post! |

Good afternoon John In Acts 10:28 Peter himself tells what God intended him to learn from the vision ("God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean") and verse 29 he tells of his response to the revelation ("Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for"). No word about food. As far as the situation regarding Peter and the gentiles in Galatia - Peter was a man, quite capable of making mistakes. He messed up and Paul called him on the carpet for it, lesson learned. How about Mal. 3:6? |

Shalom Bpayne, Studying the Bible can be a daunting project, especially if it is a required course, and not something you've chosen to do. I don't think anyone here would be adverse to having the original question, the student's personal efforts on the question and a plea for help putting all the information together in a coherent way. I, personally, have no problem helping a student polish up their research and final conclusions. But as far as actually doing someone's homework, I've already put in my time :o) |

Vintage, Shalom. Usually the person asking a homework question doesn't use enough common sense to disguise it as something he/she wants to know. The question from 4runner was so confusing it seemed like it was a bonifide query. :o) |

Shalom 4runner, I don't think I understand what you're wanting to know, could you expound a little bit? A bit of clarification would be helpful. I will give it a try, tho: Rom 8:28 and Yeshua/Jesus should be self-explanitory - no Savior, no salvation Joseph (Israel's son?) he was sold into slavery to end up saving both Egypt and the small clan that was destined to be the people of God and the progenitors of Messiah. Moses - was the mediator between God and the children of Israel, he was given the task of bringing them out of Egypt and helping them grow into a nation. Jeremiah - quite frankly, I haven't a clue |

Evening WW Let's see, No! No! All the way around, No! The Jews believed the only way to become a Christian was by going thru ritual conversion?? You want to explain that one? At the time of Cornelius, there were no Christians, the believers in Messiah were just another sect of Judaism called The Way. Mat 5:17-19 The Torah was not eliminated (the vision had nothing to do with food, it everything to do with people) or else we have a God who changes His mind willy nilly and we'd have to cross out Heb. 13:8 or call it a typo. |

Good evening Tftennis, Yes, what your pastor said is biblical. Mat 5:23 So if you are offering your gift at the Temple altar and you remember there that your brother has something against you, Mat 5:24 leave your gift where it is by the altar, and go, make peace with your brother. Then come back and offer your gift. Mat 6:12 Forgive us what we have done wrong, as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us. Mat 6:15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Mat 18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart." Mar 11:26 [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.] 1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 1Co 11:27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 1Co 11:28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1Co 11:29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 1Co 11:30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 1Co 11:31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. |

Daniq, You ask how will we know when it starts if the people are not taken out (which I don't believe is going to happen first) - we will know when the covenant is made to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and the building begins. I'm a pre-wrath believer. I believe that we will be here to witness that event and the wrath of hasatan on God's people. We will not be here to witness God's wrath on the lawless wicked ones, we will be enjoying the marriage supper of the Lamb! (Mark 13:3-27 is very fine proof-text that we will be here, especially see verses 14-19 and verse 24 is a strong indication that He was not speaking [only] of the persecution that the early church went through.) |

Hello everyone, May I have a number of explanations of Matthew 11:12 as connected to Malachi 2:13? I'm looking at the Greek and Hebrew words used (biastai and portzim and their variants) and am finding that the translations I'm used to don't seem to fit well. There seems to be 2 different pictures painted when speaking of taking something by force or something breaking forth by an action. Thank you in advance. |

Greetings stjohn, I didn't say Paul was out of the loop, I said that Acts 1:21-22 taken word for word would put him out of the loop, so therefore, that statement was not a precedent, it most logically fulfilled the immediate need. And there is still no expiration date on Eph. 4:10-16. Else we have to dismiss all other equippers for the ministry as they are grouped right along in there with apostles and prophets. If we have God-called evangelists, pastors and teachers (and I'm sure all agree that we do) then we most assuredly have God-called apostles and prophets. |

Shalom Azure I'm reading that you think that the office of apostle has ended - if I've misunderstood you, please pardon me. That passage is simply Luke stating what took place at that moment for that particular need; he was not stating law. Acts 1:21-22 would completely leave Paul out of the loop. Apostle simply means sh'liach or sent one. At a moment's need, Azure, you could be apostle, a sent one. Eph. 4:10-14 has no expiration date on it that I can see. :o) |

40 | sacrificing animals for drug development | James 4:17 | grafted in | 216088 | ||
Greetings Rajeeb, You've asked this question before and have been given good answers. The only thing I can say further is that God loves each and everyone of His creatures. It hurts Him to see one suffer, yet He Himself used an animal to cover His greatest creation when they needed it, Gen.3:21. If the testing is done humanely and it is a needful thing - something to keep from poisoning a human, something to help make a human well in illness, something to help make more bountiful crops for poor countries, etc. - then we have to remember that God also gave the knowledge of the thing you're testing to a man to begin with...for the betterment of His greatest creation. And from there you'll just have to look to your own conscience. |
