To all,
This is a continuation from the thread titled The Jewish Messiah. Anyone feel free to join the discussion.
Laurel,
My point is for you to tell a Gentile he must obey the custom of Jews to please God is evil as it would be for a Gentile to tell you, a Jew, that you must act like a Gentile to please God. That is not the blessing of the Spirit of God.
Do you not know you Jewish teaching about the seven Laws of Noah which must be adhered to by both the Jews and the Gentiles? The seven Laws do not include one to keep the Sabbath day holy. The Law of Moses is the nation of Israel obedience to the seven Laws of Noah. Jesus summed up the Seven Laws and thus the Law of Moses as love your neighbor as yourself. The result of living by the Spirit is to love your neighbor as yourself. So when you love you keep God’s commands including obeying the law of the land and keeping your pledges to God.
As a Jew your pledge is to obey the law of Mosses but as a Gentile I made or inherited no such pledge. Never the less I am still commanded to love my neighbor as myself in the way God intends. Such love does give you the rest of God’s Sabbath as you do not sin.
December 11, 2010 at 9:58 am#228464Ed JParticipantHi Kerwin,
Surly you misunderstand the purpose of the Sabbath.
It is a day of rest (for us) from all physical weekly work.
And like “the Prophet” Elisha asked for a double portion,
We now in the U.S.A. have “two” days per-week for rest.
It has absolutely nothing to do with trying to please God!God bless

Were the 10 commandments done away with? Of course NOT! (1John 2:3-4)
Deut.6:1-2 Now these are the “commandments”, the “statutes”, and the “judgments”,
which the LORD(YHVH) your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them
in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God,
to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and
thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.The mount of transfiguration illustrates these three.
Moses: The Commandments; “10” Old & “2” New.
Elijah: The Judgments; rewards & punishments.
Jesus: The Statues; Jesus fulfilled the statues
(contained in ordinances), doing away with.
Eph.2:15: Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;
for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.
So we can see there is difference between LAW and and ordinances?
10-2 Has a fractal counterpart: 10 Northern tribes and 2 Southern tribes.God bless

God commands the Children of Israel and all who dwell in the land of the twelve tribes to obey all the commands in the law of Mosses and the Sabbath is one.
Still, God did give the Sabbath as a bleshing to the Hebrews and the Gentiles dwelling in Israel and Judah.
The Ten Commandments like the rest of the law is fullfilled by living by the Spirit. The Law of Mosses though is a particular application of the Law of God addressed to the Children of Israel and the Gentiles living in the land of the Twelve Tribes.

According to the Seven Laws of Noah God commands each nation to make godly laws. He also commanded each of his people to obey the laws he put over them. God then chose the 12 Tribes and made laws for both them and the nation they would come to inhabit. A non-Hebrew resident of Greece would not obey the laws of Israel. On the other hand if he moved to Israel he would. The Hebrews are different as some laws bind them because they are chosen by God. The Hebrews are no more different than the Gentiles than a citizen of the U.S. is from a citizen of England though they have different national authorities over them.

Hi Kerwin,We don't have to follow mans laws, only God's laws!
Which are the 10 commandments that Jesus explained as two!Isa:42:21: The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake;
Jesus' will magnify the law(“Two” commandments), and make it honorable.

http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgDecember 12, 2010 at 12:35 pm#228612gollamudiParticipantHere is how a Jew outrightly rejects Christian's view of abolishion of law of God. (taken from the book “The Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing The New Testament with the Old”)
“A very great part of Dogmatic Theology among Christians is founded upon the notion
that the Jewish Law was a temporary dispensation, only to exist till the coming of Jesus,
when it was to be superseded by a more perfect dispensation.
On the contrary, the Jews are persuaded that their Law is of perpetual obligation, and the
Doctrine of the Trinity itself is hardly more offensive to them, and, as they think, more
contradictory to the Scriptures, than the notion of the abrogation of it. Now, that the Jews
are on the right side of this question, i. e., arguing from the Old Testament, I shall
endeavour to prove by several arguments. They are all comprised in these positions, 1.
That the Mosaic Institutions are most solemnly, and repeatedly declared to be perpetual;
and we have no account of their being abrogated, or to be abrogated in the Old
Testament. 2. They are declared to be perpetual by Jesus himself, and were adhered to by
the twelve apostles.
1. Nothing can be more expressly asserted in the Old Testament than the perpetual
obligation of those rites which were to distinguish the Jews from other nations. It appears,
for instance, (from the 17th ch. of Genesis,) in the tenor of the covenant made with
Abraham, that circumcision was to distinguish his posterity, to the end of time. It is called
“ an everlasting covenant” to be kept by his posterity through all their generations. See
the ch. where the condition of the covenant is, that God would give to Abraham and his
posterity, the perpetual inheritance of the promised land with whatever privileges were
implied in his being their God, on condition that their male children were circumcised in
testimony of putting themselves under that covenant. There is no limitation with respect
to time; nay it is expressly said that the covenant should be perpetual.
The ordinance of the Passover is also said to be perpetual, Ex. xii. 14, &c. “ And this day
shall be unto you for a memorial, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout
your generations. You shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.” This is repeated
afterwards, and the observance of this rite is confined to Israelites, Proselytes, and slaves
who should be circumcised, v. 48.
The observance of the Sabbath was never to be discontinued, Ex. xxxi. 16. “ Wherefore
the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual
covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever.”
The appointment of the Family of Aaron to be Priests, was to continue as long as the
Israelites should be a nation. See Lev. vii. 35.
The Feast of Tabernacles was to be forever. Lev. xxiii. 41. “It shall be a statute for ever,
in your generations.” The observance of this Festival is particularly mentioned in the
prophecies, which foretell a future settlement of the Jews in their own land, as obligatory
on all the world ; as if an union of worship at Jerusalem was to be, according to them,
effected among all nations by the united observance of this Festival there, see Zech. 14 ;
what he there says is confirmed by what Isaiah prophecied concerning the same period.
Is. 2. “It shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall
be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all
nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go, and say, Come ye, and let us go up
to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of his
ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the Law, and the word
of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and rebuke many
people, and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning
hooks. Nation. shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more.”
With respect to all the Laws of Moses, it is evident from the manner in which they were
promulgated, that they were intended to be of perpetual obligation upon the Hebrew
nation, and that by the observance of them they were to be distinguished from the other
nations, see Deut. xxvi. 16.
The observance of their peculiar Laws was the express condition on which the Israelites
were to continue in possession of the promised land ; and though on account of their
disobedience they were to be driven out of it, they had the strongest assurances given
them that they should never be utterly destroyed, like many other nations who should
oppress them; but that on their repentance God would gather them from the remote parts
of the world, and bring them to their own country again. And both Moses, and the later
Prophets assure them, that in consequence of their becoming obedient to God in all
things, which it is asserted they will, (and which may be the natural consequence of the
discipline they will have gone through,) they shall be continued in the peaceable
enjoyment of the land of promise, in its greatest extent to the end of time. See to this
purpose Deut. iv. 25, &c. ; also. Deut. 30, where it is thus written.
“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the
curse, which I have set before thee, and shalt call them to mind among all the nations
whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee; and shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and
shall obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children,
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; that, then, the Lord thy God will turn thy
captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return, and gather thee from all the
nations whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto
the utmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from
thence will he fetch thee. And the Lord thy God will bring thee unto the Land which thy
Fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it, and He will do thee good, and multiply thee
above thy Fathers. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy
seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest
live; and the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that
hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return, and obey the voice of the Lord,
and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.”December 12, 2010 at 12:56 pm#228616Ed JParticipantHi Adam,

Gollimudi: What is almost totally missing in the religious world today is spiritual understanding of the words of God. Spirit is the world of mind, thought, dreams and visions. When reading the prophets as in Is.2 above God speaks in pictures and dreams. God is not speaking to a city or town or mountains. The prophesies are all written to either Gods people or those that reject(Jesus) God. All prophecy is leading up unto Jesus Christ and his ministry. As you read understand that at V1 he is talking to Judah and Jerusalem. The inhabitants of the city, some believers, some rejectors. V2…and it will come to pass in the last days (this is the day of the lord) the lords house shall be established(the new temple)….V3….to the house of the God of Jacob, and he (God/Jesus) will teach us his ways,(spirit words) and we will walk in his paths (Jesus leads us in the path of righteousness) for out of Mt.Zion (Jesus the rock) shall go forth the law (Jesus' truth of God) and the word of the lord(Jesus) from Jerusalem…
All the prophets are saying the same thing, in like manner, over and over, chapter after chapter. Very repititious so no one could miss what God was saying. Wow did we miss it!
V10….enter into the rock(Jesus) and hide thee in the dust for the fear of the lord (on non-believers)….The prophets were constantly predicting what is to come in the day of the lord (Jesus) and what is going to happen to those who can't make the change from the physical old test. way to the new spirit way of cleansing with Gods words.

Scripture does not support the idea that “we don’t have to follow man’s laws” since man is subject to God and thus man’s laws are God’s laws unless they are clearly in disobedience to God. This is clear in scripture. I can give them if you desire and voice it.
God’s commands, including obey the authorities, is summed up in the command to love.

Hi brother Tim Kraft,
Thanks for your response on my post. But I can't agree with that view of yours. It is purely Christian interpretation. No Jew will agree with you on Jesus. There are so many flaws in Christian interpretation of Hebrew scriptures.I am sorry
Peace to you
AdamDecember 13, 2010 at 1:31 pm#228703Tim KraftParticipantGollamudi: I do not know your faith but I would not expect any Jew to accept the new testament through Jesus the Christ. They hated him and had him killed! Everything the Jews represented and did was changed by Jesus. A complete new way.
The Jewish hierarchy, the highest positions in the Jewish religion at that time, contrived, pursued and insisted to the Romans that had the power to kill him, the death of Jesus of Nazareth.
Now as per the New Testament all are invited to accept the Kingdom of God within and the spirit words of Jesus within themselves by faith. All the gifts from God to mankind are for whosoever will receive or accept by faith. No labels, no one rejected, no one not accepted, all invited. Now, as far a God is concerned, there is no Jew,or Gentile, or bond or free or male or female. All are ONE in Kingdom of God.
A follower of Jesus is what I am. To the best of my ability. God bless you Adam you are peaceful!

Greetings G…. You are absolutely correct in your assertions and the closer we examine the Jewish phenomonon the more evident it becomes that the law has never changed and was never done away with…The first mention of the term Jew showed up in the book of kings…Most modernday christians do not realize that the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah very often fought with each other…The tribe of Judah to this day still holds the septre right and this will be revealed in the end times when Jesus who is a decendent of the tribe of judah will come to rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords….The Jews are indeed living proof that the law as so designated by the eternal is for generation to generation even until forever… - AuthorPosts
