Sorry, but I think you overreacted to his choice of answer. I didn’t see anything offensive there. Don’t be further disruptive...? Wow! I think I will move on from YOUR THREAD.

What we read in the New Testament...that is attributable to Paul are called Epistles(letters), in other words, we are reading his mail! Wonderful as they are, what that means, is we are getting one side of a conversation. We are left to make presumptions as to what he was addressing in those...

Old Testament detailed blood lines, yes. But since so many scriptures make ANY blood line(sojourner, strangers among you, etc) eligible to COVENANT right along with the Israelites that just had to follow the same rules as the Israelites. ONCE again...there is not separate, less restrictive, or...

I see that scripture as showing himself in “his Glory” Or his natural state. The creator of our universe must be of IMMENSE power. Imagine how one of the Levites died because he touched the ark of covenant directly instead with the poles they were to carry it with. When God traveled with the...

I say it is the God we know as Jesus(Yeshua) here is a FANTASTIC short (16 page) pdf piece I submit as my agreed opinion WHY i say it was Jesus...

First of all Paul is not a LAW GIVER. He was a disciple(means learner) commissioned to more fully explain the mind and intentions of our heavenly Creator for us. Faith DEFINTION Belief in God or in a set of religious doctrines. Where did Paul get his religious doctrine...from the Torah. The...

John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. No one...I would suppose that doesn’t make a difference as to Jew or gentile. Paul really struggled as to why so many of his own kin Could not see that the Yeshua was the messiah...

That’s the 1st commandment The word translated as God...now technically that word God is a Title not a proper name although we often use the name God as A convenient name. However, we have heard this expression God the Father, God the Son. So, to believe in “God”(the god of the old and new...

First and foremost all gods instructions to us had a Physical benefit and a Spiritual benefit. 1st Circumcision has an obvious cleanliness/health benefit. 2nd Doing it on the 8th day was also a symbolic teaching moment as it reminds us of His 7 Holy Days(there is an 8th day of Feast of...

We are in agreement, inpart. My contention is only this...The Torah in its written form as we know...we certainly cant be prove to have existed in the form we know it. The greater point is that God, in some form gave Moses’ ancestors instruction in the proper way to worship him and ways to get...

Which peoples was he setting them apart from? The Pagan cultures of the day. Now, the things they GOD prohibited were things the Pagans did. So, don’t you want to GOD’S PEOPLE? The LAWS he gave her were BEST PRACTICES, agreed? “Without law” is referring to ANY PEOPLES who were not exposed...

Where else are you turning for definition of SIN? All references to sin in NEW TESTAMENT are quotes from OLD TESTAMENT

First of all the LAW of Moses is GODS law given directly to him to be written for all of us that will accept it. The very DEFINTION of what is SIN comes from what Moses was told to write down by GOD

Another point, “by the works of the law no flesh shall be saved” Sooo...The topic that was being addressed in this verse is...in JUDAISM, they had the unbiblical assumption that Salvation was achieved BY keeping the law perfectly, thus the over zealous/arduous additions to each tittle/dot of the...

YES he does indict the Jew first, as a people they had the LAW in their hands/synagogues/culture they were held more accountable. Well just contradicted your opinion...you said Law only applies TO SOME, then you said BOTH Jew and Gentile are sinners(i agree) BUT, following your reasoning...
