61 | Feasts and Sabbath - still observe? | Col 2:17 | MJH | 157062 | ||
Are the feasts and the Sabbath a shadow of Jesus, and therefore good at showing/helping us to know Him? (ie. Jesus is the body that casts the shadow.) OR, are we to understand (as the NASB adds the word "mere") that the feasts and Sabbath are unnecessary and done away with since Jesus came, He now replaces the feasts and Sabbath because He is our Sabbath rest? I have been searching for some years on the relationship we have with the Law of God given through Moses. Recently I feel I am arriving at a new understanding that contradicts my upbringing. I eagerly desire to understand God’s Word correctly, and therefore I am asking for help in this. Since the topic is far to big to discuss as a whole, I thought asking this one question would at least help me in this one area. Thanks for the help. MJH |

62 | Who are: Freeman, God Fearers, Proselyt? | Col 3:11 | MJH | 139104 | ||
Who were the "Freeman", the "God Fearers" and the "Proselytites"? It is the “Freeman” that I am most interested in. I remember parts of a talk I heard about who these people were in 1st Century Israel, but have forgotten. I can not seem to find the answer now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

63 | The Hell questions. | 2 Tim 2:15 | MJH | 162930 | ||
After several years of avoiding the question, I have taken it upon myself to finally address the "HELL" issue in the Christian faith. Since I am only at the start of answering this question (or maybe only finding more questions), I'd like to have some suggestions of resources (books, articles, etc..) that would help me explore all sides of this. My upbringing was from an "exclusivist" view, so anything from opposing views would be most helpful. THANKS, MJH |

64 | Emergent Church question | Titus 1:9 | MJH | 177168 | ||
Does anyone have an opinion on the so called, "Emergent Church?" I ask because I happen to attend a church that when I join was simply another church which happened to grow very fast, had a gifted teacher, etc... But nothing spectacular. Since then, over the past few years, the gifted teacher has become very well know, almost an icon in the so called "Emergent Church" movement, although he has never claimed that our church was an "Emergent Church." Needless to say (unfortunately) he has been attacked by several Pastors around the country. My stance among those I meet is that I am not responsible for defending my pastor or church against comments. I will talk and listen, but I am not ever going to get "defensive" and try to argue for a point. I will clarify and ask why they think what they think, but I won't get drawn into an argument. It has bothered me, however, to see that so far every critic I have read or heard has gone to the level of revering to my pastor as "Satan’s agent" or "a clear Heretic" etc... Not one critic I have read so far has refrained from using such vitriolic statements which I interpret as meaning they are so afraid that their critic isn't strong enough on content that they have to use stupid statements to try and reinforce their ideas. One pastor even stated that since my pastor's following was so large, he obviously was not of God and used the same argument to refute Rev. Billy Graham. I’d love to discuss this topic with some of you, since I have anonymity here, and I would like to know what gifted people like you all think. MJH |

65 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | MJH | 152247 | ||
If all sacrafices should have ended with Jesus death and resurrection, then why did Paul participate in sacarfices in Acts 21? And in Acts 21 it was the James and the "elders" who urged Paul to participate with certain men in what appears to have been a Nazarite Vow. MJH |

66 | What commandments? Torah? Yes-No? | 2 John 1:6 | MJH | 140379 | ||
I've read this many times, but it caught me a bit by surprise this time. It seems to be saying that we ought to walk according to the Torah, or the Mosaic Law. 1 John 2:4-6 also says, Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. We know that Jesus walked according to the Torah--as it ought to have been interpreted. These texts seem to be saying that the commandments of the Mosaic Law were to be "walked" the way Jesus "walked" them. The phrase, "just as you have heard from the beginning" seems to suggest this as well. Then what are the commandments of Jesus, if they are not His "yoke" or His interpretation of the Torah? And His interpretation always came out of love, but it was still centered on the Torah (first 5 books). What am I missing? MJH |
