The book of Acts proves that early Christians regularly attended synagogues

[bugkiller]

Yes, that is almost right.
Unfortunately churches TODAY say "we will not help the poor because that would be enabling them" as well as "we cannot afford it" (truth is they cannot afford NOT TO DO what Y'SHUA and TORAH says to DO); they even say "insurance won't cover it" !

Is this thread about the Sabbath or religious organizations?

I agree - there are some commandments that can not be kept because it requires a temple to do so. Such as sacrifices and offerings. But this doesn't mean there aren't commands that don't apply to us

Take the 10 commandments. These can be kept anywhere on the earth without a temple.

We are called out to be separate, to be in the world but not of the world.

Obeying the Torah in 2016 will definitely have you living very separately because the whole world system is completely against God and His ways of living

God's commands are to lead you and teach you how to live a set-apart(holy/separate) lifestyle.

Remember, the whole Torah is summed up in:

love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 KJV

So why is it you don't keep the Sabbath as outlined in the 4th commandment?

[bugkiller]

Well, this thread is about early Christians, but I believe the true Christians throughout history, even up to today, lived like the Christians in the book of Acts - observing Torah, including the feast days, Sabbath, food laws, the 10 commandments etc

IOW you believe all Christians were/are practicing Judaism.

What is your purpose of trying to prove Christians attended the synagogue? Is it not to enforce the 7th day Sabbath on Christians? Why? Christians including the JEW are not bound by the law per Rom 7:6.

bugkiller

You claimed Christians weren't in the synagogues, and I used scripture to show that they were. Looks like you don't know the scriptures after all.

 

[Dkh587]

So why is it you don't keep the Sabbath as outlined in the 4th commandment?

bugkiller

I do. I keep + teach the 4th commandment

 

[Dkh587]

IOW you believe all Christians were/are practicing Judaism.

bugkiller

in other words, I believe the original/early Christians obeyed God's commandments. Don't see why it would be any different today. If they observed the commandments, why wouldn't we?

 

[bugkiller]

This is good. THat is what they did. (anyone who was seeking YHWH)

Remember Cornelius.

Yes I do. You should note that Cornelius did not get the Gospel in the synagogue.

[Dkh587]

Jesus' reply has nothing to do with the 10 Cs.

bugkiller

Of course His reply does. Why do you deny what He said? the 10 commandments, which are part of the law, are about loving God and loving your neighbor

You seem to have trouble accepting what the scriptures say...

 

[bugkiller]

I do. I keep + teach the 4th commandment

Are you on the grid, living in town? Lets ask another question - do you use electricity on the Sabbath? If so you aren't compliant with the 4 th commandment.

bugkiller

 

[Dkh587]

It's symbolic of purity. There is nothing inherently wrong with clothing of mixed fibers.

God said not to mix fabrics. We shouldn't do the things God said not to do, no matter what it is

 

[bugkiller]

Well, it depends if a church is a good church ( that is they know who is who in the church They usually know who needs help and who is milking the system.

Great response.

bugkiller

Can you please find & share verses from the scriptures regarding electricity?

 

[bugkiller]

God said not to mix fabrics. We shouldn't do the things God said not to do, no matter what it is

So why do you pay others to do your bidding on the sabbath?

bugkiller

 

[bugkiller]

Obviously you do not understand the 4th commandment nor electricity.

Because YHWH said it would be different , HIS WORD says it is different ever since the Apostles fell asleep. (departed this life for a time).
And not different in a good way, except the day of Y'SHUA'S RETURN for HIS PEOPLE is closer each day.

 

[Dkh587]

They were there for the same reason Paul eventually went to synagogues after his conversion....to convert Jews to Christianity:

Act 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Act 18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.


Act 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Act 20:8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.


It was a Sunday they gathered together for fellowship, food and preaching.

You're implying things from the scriptures that aren't actually there.

Acts 20 is referring to an event at a specific point in time. This particular time was on what we know of Saturday night, not Sunday. Sunday morning, Paul left. This scripture does not indicate that disciples met every first day of the week

 

[Dkh587]

Obviously you do not understand the 4th commandment nor electricity.

bugkiller

What is electricity according to the Torah? Any words from the Messiah speaking on electricity? I'll wait...

 

[bugkiller]

Paul was persecuting Christians - those who believed in Christ - the Messiah. It doesn't say "he was only searching for Jews". He was searching for men and women who believed in Yahushua - if you believed and followed Messiah in those days, you were part of the sect called The Way - which was/is made up of those who believe in Yahushua, both Jew and Gentile. There's no distinction.

Yes believers also met in homes, but believers of Yahushua the Messiah, those called The away, attended synagogues, both Jew and Gentile believers

Not at the time of Paul's court testimony.

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Correct.
As Faithful men of YHWH have always said in line with all of YHWH'S WORD and Y'SHUA:
The obedience of the Christian to God ought to be unconditional.

You are plying two calendars to deceive or because you are decieved.
