Point is that my explanation makes judicial sense. Yours does not. So dismissing your choice is based a contextual explanation that does make sense. I don't have to address words not in the text. Only prove they may mean what I am saying. You conceeded all that. The context proves the case...

You are engaging in logical fallacy in attempting to separate δικαιοσύνη from the gloss "justice" (cf. BDAG, 3rd, definition #1, "the quality, state, or practice of judicial responsibility w. focus on fairness: justice." Def #2 "quality or state of juridicial correctness with focus on...

It still does, or rather Torah is the measuring stick by which real righteousness can be identified. Paul was not speaking of an alien righteousness. The word means JUSTICE. The justice of God is revealed apart from the norm in Messiah. That justice is testified to in the law and the...

....translation: the temporal context makes "what is customary" (the norm) improbable in usage. I see you are educated enough not to make the mistake of saying impossible. Custom, tradition, per se is better expressed by other terms as you say. But that is not the sense of nomos "what is...

The emphasis in the OP is indeed on the first step. Sanctification is not omitted though, but included in the generalization of confirming faithfulness to Messiah. Every time we obey his commandments we are confirming our faithfulness.

nomos = what is customary, the norm BDAG 3rd ed. It was the truth. And Messiah is the truth whom you deny.

So no one here believes there is anything wrong with the way Calvinists teach penal substitution? Does that mean that Messainics have cloned their theology from the Church and do not seek to correct it according to Scripture?

There are many people who know Greek, but will never admit the truth for non-intellectual reasons. Whoever leans on you gets a biased source.

It's real. I think you just do not like my Messianic interpretation. http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/books/nomin_s.pdf

First read the article I will post the abstract: Abstract: The faithful in Messiah need to recover the correct theory of atonement as the correct basis for confirming our faithfulness to Messiah. The simple good news is that Messiah’s suffering and death offer an alternative justice in place of...

He says he will make them fishers of men. So the connection to Hosea is correct. But the calculation is bad. The text has בני אל חי = 2+50+10 1+30 8+10 = 111 בני האלהים is not how the text reads

Strike 3. Join Daq. I don't seek to impress the audience by argument but to find out who truly follows Messiah.

False dichotomy. The third possibility has already been mentioned. Saved need not mean saved from being a sinner, but saved from committing it in the first place by doing what is right.

Do you realize that you are equivocating here two senses of the word witness? 1. Testify, 2. See oneself. Arguing fallacies is not worthy of the Messianic Faith.

ESV Leviticus 18:5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the LORD. ESV Ezekiel 18:9 walks in my statutes, and keeps my rules by acting faithfully-- he is righteous; he shall surely live, declares the Lord GOD. ESV Ezekiel 3:21...

How I replied to the same remark on my FB page: XXXX In logic, a source cannot verify itself. But he is saying God is his witness, just as Acts 2:22 says. Like · Reply · 8 hrs Daniel Gregg The Pharisees were equivocating. One can certainly give testimony by themselves. It is also a...

13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You are bearing witness of yourself. Your witness is not true.”† 14 Yĕshua answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true, because I know where I came from, and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from, or...

Not with me. The Scripture is clear enough. No debate is required.

Are you demanding that everyone is required to respond to a counter argument? I think so. Take up your demands with the admin, and not me. Any further attempts from you to engage me in argument will be considered harassment.

We have to keep in mind that attending the feast is only part of keeping the feast. I am sure Paul rested on the holy days wherever he was and that he ate unleavened bread during Passover (cf. 1Cor 5:8). His desire to attend Shavuot was motivated by compassion for his native Jewish brothers and...
