Subject: New Perspective of Sha'ul |
Bible Note: A couple of notes, I use the Hebrew "phraseology" because that is how it was originally said and it seems to make things clearer to me. I do not have a great slant toward to Judaism. In fact, I am one of the people caught in the middle. I will give you a quick diagram: Historic Christianity - Rejects Law, Accepts Y'shua, Accepts New Testament Judaism - Accepts Law, Rejects Y'shua, Rejects New Testament Torah-observant - Accepts Law, Accepts Y'shua, Accepts New Testament I am ostracised by Christians for aligning with Judaism, and I am condemned by Judaism for accepting Y'shua as the Messiah. A good article that explains it better can be found at http://www.torahresource.com/ArticlesEnglish.html Note well, I do not agree with everything on this site. Yes Avraham was given the promise before he was circumcised and yes, he did not have the Talmud. I personally do not accept the Talmud, Sola Scriptura is my byword. Getting back to the subject, Avraham is our father and a hero of the faith as is found in Hebrews 11. Again, how was he chosen? Through trusting. That is how we all are saved and will receive the blessing. Your brother in Y'shua HaMashiach, Talmid (do read this Verse Num 6:24-26) |
