Irene,You do have a point of view.  Whether that point of view agrees with God’s or not is up to him to decide.   The most I intend to do is to point out that other points of view exist and why I consider them consistent with the nature of God.I did that with Hebrews 1:8 and Romans 5:14.   I only pointed out a possible contradiction to your chos…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ Nov. 07 2009,12:23)Hi brother Kerwin,Historians very well know that Acts of apostles was created by Luke to protect St. Paul's Christianity but not a real history.

gollamudi,You perhaps should read Luke's Account of Paul's visit to Jerusalem and the false accusations that were leveled against him at that time. I mention that because that is exactly what you appear to be doing.I do not understand how you think you can discuss the origins of Christianity without knowing the Law of Mosses.

Constitutionalist ,I was trying to see why the different reaction of believers to Gentile coverts to Judaism as compared to Gentiles that had not converted to Judaism when either decided to become disciples of the Anointed One.

To all,On the day of Pentecost when many converted to disciples of Jesus the Messiah they were both Jews and Gentile converts to Judaism and yet when Cornelius and his house became disciples the circumcised believers were amazed. Why was that?

We have several interesting topics going on about the Law, Sabbath, Jewish dietary laws, that you should look into.  Have you read the Law of Mosses?The Rabbinic tradition rather butchers it by excessive bureaucracy in their Oral Law which in some cases contradicts it.You should also observe what Paul teaches and not what people state he teaches…[Read more]
