Bible Note: Hello CDBJ, You say I want to bring us back to the "law", the "law" never left. Anyone who was born again during the time Messiah was on earth was keeping Torah(law). Anyone that joined after that joined the local synagogue (they were not churches) until shortly after the Temple destruction of 70AD. Acts 15:21 "For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day." No, Gentiles were grafted into the olive branch, they did not replace it. Exodus 12:49 "One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." Numbers 15:15 "One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD." YHWH is not schizophrenic (Malachi 3:6). Torah applied to anyone who joined the community. Of course, they were nurtured just as a child would be nurtured until they mature. How does this verse fit into your theology? Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." One truth-seeker to another, Greg Boone |
