Gal 2:15,16 Justified by Faith Alone

Al Touthentop said:

I wonder if you can show me where Paul preached that we should be circumcised.

Why did he circumcise his own disciple?

(CLV) Ac 16:3
This one Paul wants to come out with him, and, taking him, circumcised him because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all were aware that his father belonged to the Greeks.

Was Paul a hypocrite; or had Paul taught Timothy of the works that follow faith through Abraham?



(CLV) Ro 15:8
For I am saying that Christ has become the Servant of the Circumcision, for the sake of the truth of God, to confirm the patriarchal promises.

1 COR. 7 [19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

(CLV) Ro 2:25
For circumcision, indeed, is benefiting if you should be putting law into practice, yet if you should be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Al Touthentop said:

Would you also have us sacrifice animals to atone for sin?

Are you claiming to be the High Priest? That's Yahshua's job.

Al Touthentop said:

Because if the old covenant isn't made obsolete as Paul said it was, then we must also sacrifice animals to atone for sin.

Again there has been a transference of the law; as it is written.

(CLV) Ro 12:1
I am entreating you, then, brethren, by the pities of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice, living, holy, well pleasing to God, your logical divine service,

You are the sacrifice. We are to take up our own torture stakes; and follow Yahshua as he walks, in obedience to YHWH.

The gate is narrow my friend.

Shabbat shalom

Al Touthentop said:

This is a non-sequitor. You will have to go to the law of Moses to find out whether or not baptism is commanded under the old law. It's not. Baptism as the circumcision not made with hands was introduced by John the baptist to prepare the way for Christ.

The Mikvah was introduced after the destruction of Jerusalem and was used mainly during the conversion of Jewish prosthelytes. It's not a feature of the law of Moses.

We couldn't obey the law of Moses if we wanted to. There are no Levites

Do you not have a high priest who calls for your sacrifice?

Do you claim Paul was in error?

No

Al Touthentop said:

But it's not the sacrifice that takes away sin. Jesus was that sacrifice.

Again, do you not have a high priest who calls for your sacrifice?

Al Touthentop said:

A high priest that offered the one sacrifice that replaced all of the animal sacrifices.

Then why did Paul make these sacrifices?

(CLV) Ac 21:26
Then Paul, taking the men along on the next day, being purified together with them, had been in the sanctuary, publishing the full completion of the days of purification, till w the approach present for each one of them was offered.

Why does Ezekiel speak of sacrifices of the Millennial Reign?

Ezekiel 43:

19 And you have given unto the priests, the Levites, who [are] of the seed of Zadok--who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, to serve Me--a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering." 20 And you have taken of its blood, and have put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and have cleansed it, and purified it." 21 And you have taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and have burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary." 22 And on the second day you do bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock." 23 In your finishing cleansing, you do bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one." 24 And you have brought them near before Yahweh, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Yahweh." 25 Seven days you do prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare." 26 Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand." 27 And the days are completed, and it has come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh.'"

....and how would you explain this?:

(CLV) Jer 33:20
Thus says Yahweh: If you could annul My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night so that daytime and night fail to come about in their proper time,

(CLV) Jer 33:21
then also My covenant could be annulled with David My servant, so that he should not come to have a son reigning on his throne, and that with the Levites, the priests, My ministers.

He didn't actually and you know this.

So Luke lied about Paul? I don't buy it. Face it. It's documented historical fact.

Al Touthentop said:

The Davidic Covenant was also fulfilled with Jesus as Peter pointed out on the day of Pentecost.

So what? The Levites are still the Levites.
