  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why are you refusing to comment on a passage of the Holy Writ that tells us the 10 commandments were temporary?
Why is it continually and wrongfully quoted and applied as if
today,
since CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED<
now today,
as if that changed all things,
now today,
it is okay to murder, to steal, to lust/commit adultery,
to have other(pagan) gods every day ,
to continue (as is the case) committing idolatry every day ???

Now this is all "OKAY" ! ?

Someone can't just take a sentence out of the Bible and make it say what they want it to say to fit their thology.
Who says you can't. What more could any surrounding thoughts makes it unclear that God was gong to end:
Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

The problem is that you do not want to believe the truth. You have been sold a bill of goods that you are not able to defend

Samo, samo, Go argue with Paul, he was the one who wrote it and he is telling us the Holy Spirit is greater that the 10 commandments. I will go with the Holy Spirit and you can go with your incomplete 10 that doesn't even contain the law of love.

Amos 3:7
7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

Where in the Prophets did God tell them that someone is coming along to abolish his commands, that he wrote with his own fingers, that Jesus, the disciples and Paul all taught, that have stood for close to 4000yrs at that point?

On Judgment day you answer to Jesus, not Paul.

If your way of thinking is true why did Yeshua keep the feasts and the Sabbath why did Paul and the apostles?

You have been sold a bill of goods my friend, you cannot or choose not see what the passage is saying. You say I'm not defending my position, however when I show you your error based on the context you refuse to see it. The passage does not say "now the Torah is done away with" as you claim. The context states that God was taking away all of thier desires, rain, crops, wool, including the feasts, to punish them, it says so in the passage. Because they transgressed His law and turned to Idolatry.

Who is suggesting anyone said it was OK to be wicked? Only the pro law group do this. No one from the pro grace group comes close to saying this.

Jesus did. Paul did not for periods of time before his imprisonment in Rome. It is your obligation to prove you are correct. It is not our obligation to prove you are wrong. When we do this you simply say something like we are attacking you.

What are you talking about my obligation your obligation? What kind of redorick is that? You are the one making things personal. I would appreciate if you would just stick to the conversation I would not like for this to get locked for ugly behavior. We can all be Christ like and debate and disagree without being nasty to one another.

Paul did keep the feast and teach to keep the feasts have you not read
1 Corinthians 5:8
Acts 18:21

Hosea 2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

All of the laws in Torah that deal with morality were before Torah and remain to this day. All the laws of morality are part of the new covenant Royal Law of Love.

Jesus didn't come to abolish Torah, the Israelites did an excellent job of ripping the covenant apart. The covenant was Torah and Torah was not for salvation. Torah was the laws for Israel to live in the land of Canaan. All those laws had nothing to do with their eternal future. Each Israelite was saved the same way Abraham was saved. Again, Torah was not given, by God, to Israel as a ticket for their eternal life.

What makes Messianics think that they can keep Torah better that Israel could. God became disgusted with the whole lot of them and Hosea revealed His disgust and wrote Hosea 2:11 and surrounding verses. Torah law was to come to an end and it did at the Cross when the new covenant was ratified by the blood of the Lamb. All this is the plan of salvation that was formulated before the foundation of the Earth.

The new covenant is not the old one warmed over. The old one was based on law, the new one is based on love. Love is what is written in the hearts of man and the Holy Spirit is there as our guide. Torah ended as the guide for Israel at Calvary. It never has been the guide for Christians. We have something far superior, the Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus.

God does nothing that he doesnt reveal to his prophets first, so where did the Prophets speak of one coming to abolish the laws of God. Fulfill can also mean to come and show how it was to be lived.
God revealed through His prophet Jeremiah a new and different covenant was coming. Jesus said bothe the covenant given to Israel at Mt Sinai was completed (fulfilled) in Luke 24:44 and the new covenant is the current covenant in Luke 22:20. God destroyed the authority center in 70 AD through the Romans. You wish to ignore all the evidence for some unknown reason.
Jesus cant say in 1 verse that im not here to abolish the commandments of God and in the very next sentence, the complete opposite, he wasnt bipolar.
We have dictionaries to help us with the meaning of words. It also appears we have private dictionaries altering the meaning from the rest of the world. God hasn't been used against Himself here by the pro grace people. I'm beginning to believe the pro law people here are nothing but scoffers. We are to meet (fulfill) the requirements of traffic laws. The new covenant has different laws (if you prefer) from the old one. The new covenant is based on promises instead of law. Go ahead and say I self contradicted myself if you want. Just remember the parenthesis. The new covenant laws are based on if instead of demand. The new covenant changes the heart (will) which the law can not do. Read Romans. It is inspired by God and accepted as Christian holy writ.

Do you have any verse saying the ceremonial items of the law are restored during the time of the gentiles at least?

Don't you read Paul writings in the Bible? Is Galatians and Corinthians Scripture? Both are in my Bible and called Scripture by everyone I know.

Torah includes Genisis which was before the law was given so I am not sure that Torah is the same as the Covenant.
