Bible Note: Shalom Johnny; I love God, his Teachings, and Yeshua the Messiah with all my heart. My sole purpose is to do his will. But, I am not a Christian for the obvious reasons that you can see in my posts. I do not hold to standard Christian doctrine. You accuse me of loving Moses more than Yeshua, I do not understand how you got this when I may have only mentioned him once or twice. You may be confusing my love for the Torah with Moses. The Torah comes from God, not Moses. As Yeshua is God, then the Torah comes from him as well. You have stated that you only do what Yeshua says. He says that you are to teach all of the commands of Torah, even the least of them (Mat 5:17-19). You are correct, we cannot observe all of the commands, such as the stoning of one who lights a fire on Shabbat. Unfortunately there is no nation today that has the Torah as its body of law, until that day comes, we will not be able to live according to the Torah completely, but does this mean we throw the baby out with the bath water? If God creates something it must be good, and God created the Torah. How can observing commands given by the Supreme being himself be bad? How can a day of rest be considered evil? No once acusses Christians of being legalists or in bondage because they go to church on Sunday or celebrate Easter or Christmas, why are we considered legalists because we decide to rest on Saturday and celebrate the feasts that God designed? I also belong to the New Covenant of Yeshua as the covenant at Sinai is completed, obsolete and fading away. But remember what Jeremiah said about the New covenant in 31:31-33; "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD."This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my Torah in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. About the scriptures you posted; Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Agreed, no one is justified by the Torah but by the grace of God. Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Correct, the old covenant is passed away. Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. This is a quote from the scripture I posted above, The new covenant is not the same as the covenant at Sinai. Shalom Simchat Torah |
