Bible Note: Hey John, No, I was not answering as per the standards today, but of then. Obeying the commandments does not bring grace, favor, salvation, a closerness (word?), none of that - it's just commanded. I was using the criteria of then. A home that would be deemed "worthy" would be someone following the commandments because it was commanded that they take the stranger into their homes and treat them kindly because they were once strangers (out of Deut). THEN if they received the message of the good news the peace upon the disciples would either remain or leave with them. Not ALL Jews of that day would have been "observant" just like not all Christians are observant today. That's the distinction that I was making. Nothing more, nothing less. And for those reading along - being "Torah-observant" simply means that this is INSTRUCTION on how to live and treat others - and the Holy Spirit of Jesus gives the ability to understand the spirit of the Law (not the letter which is what the Pharisees understood so well). I hope this clears things up for you. Jesus saves!!! Torah lives!! :-) Cheri |
