Subject: what about the Jewish feasts |
Bible Note: In defense of your argument I would quote the NIV’s interpretation of Paul’s statement to the Galatians in 5:12. As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. However, I find that most unlearned Christians will be quick to disagree adamantly with you. Let the disagreements help you to refine your delivery of the facts you are attempting to teach. As I have stated before, ”to the unlearned Christian, this is a touchy subject which will either reveal the depths of their ignorance, or depict their willingness to learn and accept scripture in it’s unleavened purity.” I would sum it up in this simple statement. If one is “truly” a Christian, according to Christ’s teachings and ultimate sacrifice, and the apostle Paul, one is not under the law. Yet when one is a true Christian, one will, through the observance of the greatest commandments observe the law. Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Think about it. If one adheres to the above, will he not follow the commandments? Exhorting in Christ George |
