    Is Yeshua YHWH?

    Well, to be honest I have no idea. lol... I've always wanted to research the apocrypha and other related writings, so the other night I started. If you haven't done so already, read Bel and the Dragon, and Daniel and Susanna, both of which are short books, but they are both quite good...

    Is Yeshua YHWH?

    "And the prophet said: Let us come, my Lord, to a second judgment. And God said: I cast fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah. And the prophet said: Lord, Thou dealest with us according to our deserts. And God said: Your sins transcend my clemency. And the prophet said: Call to mind the Scriptures, my...

    A question about the Torah and Talmud

    1Co 14:34 - Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. Ge 3:16 - Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    (edit; Actually, I can't find where God called swines flesh an abomination specifically. But I can find plenty of other critters he called abominations to eat.) Obedience perhaps? As the word says, Obedience is better than sacrifice. 1Sa 15:22 - And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    Some Messianics, perhaps. Yet you will be hard pressed to find any who say salvation comes by any means other than grace through faith. Salvation has always been by grace through faith. God has always looked on the heart. And yet, as I stated earlier he placed his ways on his people...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    Now wait. Indeed we are on a different page. You keep giving the impression that you are merely trying to find out the differences between messianic observances and main stream christianity. I provided several. As have others. Upon providing your request of information your true...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    Do you observe the seventh day sabbath as ordained by God the father to be observed forever? Or do you observe the constantine sabbath of sunday, ordained on sunday in order to please the pagans who converted to christianity but did not want to give up their day of worship, in which they...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    Well, for one, I don't do it. But I believe it's done so as not to take the name of the lord in vain. But I fail to see how teaching and talking about the lord is using his name in vain, so it seems somewhat silly to me personally. (No offense meant to anyone who does however. This...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    G'morning! The Messiah is the Living Word. IE the Living breathing Torah. The Torah helps us to love God, and our neighbor. Which are the greatest commandments. The Messiah lived in perfect harmony with the Torah. Why would we not want to walk just as he walked? 1Jo 2:6 - He...

    A Messianic Gentile, someone tell me about this

    I never understood why the christian feels the need to be freed from the "law" (Torah). God himself calls it LIFE, and tells his people to choose his ways, which again are LIFE. Does what God call life all of a sudden become an abomination in the eyes of man? David praises the ways of the...

    Who was Paul?

    >>If you are suggesting that one must and can live under the Law and seek salvation by good works and personal righteousness, I feel sorry for you.<< ...In messiah, one is not under the law. One is simply obedient to the word of God, which he said is FOREVER. ...For there is none...

    Who was Paul?

    >>Who was the Old Covenant, the Law with? In other words, who were the parties of the Old Covenant?<< The people of Israel (Jacob) and any foreigner who would join himself with them to serve the one true God. Isaiah 56:3, 6-8 {3} Neither let the son of the foreigner, that has joined...

    Who was Paul?

    >>Here's a little thinking exercise for you. Is keeping the Sabbath part of the Law?<< The Sabbath is part of the Torah, indeed. The Sabbath that God wrote on the tablets with his very finger, the Sabbath he declared to be FOREVER observed. You know, the commandment we think God was...

    Who was Paul?

    >>It is plain to see the source of your confusion. It does not appear that you recognize Jesus as being very God. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through JESUS. This appears to be the mystery that you don't understand.<< Show me where I said...
