I believe we are not bound to The Law, but we are required to keep The Feasts & Festivals. The laws of sacrifices have been fulfilled by Yeshua. All of the Feasts & Festivals are in preparation for The 1,000 Year Reign of Christ.
Not to cause a debate, but just out of curiosity, since the feasts and festivals are dictated by Law, why would you keep those laws and not the others?

Which other laws are you referring to? The Ten Commandments? If you are referring to those, I also try my best to keep those, even the Sabbath.

Jesus said, I did not come to abolish the law, but the fulfill it. He came to teach us how to properly follow them. The pharisees thought they understood it, but Jesus rebuked them.

I'm talking about the laws of the Torah, which number 613. Things like not sleeping with a menstruating woman, not eating shellfish, etc.

Jesus' teachings line up with Bet Hillel (with one exception -- that of divorce).

Nonsense! Net Hillel might almost match up with Yahshua's teachings; but Yahshua's teachings exactly match YHWH's intent. Yahshua understood the Torah without fail. If Bet Hillel understood anything correctly; it's because they understood the Torah, sometimes. Even so, I feel confident that Yahshua didn't need them to teach him the Torah.

No.

No again; and these verses aren't even YHWH's commandments. They're not even commandments. They're commentary.

Yes. See, I can make assertions without
bothering to give facts too.

Yes again. Every command in the bible is
Yahweh's command. And nobody asked
for one of the 10 in that question.

Too? I wasn't aware that asking a question constitutes making an assertion.

Which of the 10 commandments would apply directly to homosexual orgies? If you can answer that one; this one will stump you for sure:

Yes again. Every command in the bible is
Yahweh's command. And nobody asked
for one of the 10 in that question.

Again, you failed to provide any direct command against being a drunkard. I asked for any direct command not to be a drunkard.

Where is it directly commanded not to be a drunkard, ANYWHERE?

I can understand why somethings might be kept and not others. Consider Passover for example. This feast was not from Sinai, but Moriah. The Passover was a feast to remember the fulfillment of God's promise in covenant 430 years earlier to Abraham. Christ our Passover and memorial is also the fulfillment of Promises made 430 years before Sinai. As were all the feasts that concerned the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant of circumcision, IMO....Passover through Pentecost. As these feasts had to do with redemption from slavery, and inheriting the land. All of which had to do with the promises made in covenant with Abraham 430 years before Moses gave the law from Sinai.
Similarly acts says of the keeping of circumcision
Joh 7:22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. The same could be said of the Passover and the feasts concerning the land.

1 Corinthians 6
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Oh, we all seem to know that it is wrong; but I have yet to find a commandment against it. That is my point. Yahweh's law goes deeper than the Ten Words. It goes deeper than the 613. It goes deeper than the love in our hearts for Yahweh.

Drunkenness is discouraged.

Yet being a drunkard doesn't seem to violate any direct commandment; but, as you demonstrated, drunkards will not inherit the Kingdom. Obedience to YHWH is a deep subject.

There can be good reasons for drinking, such as pain; that could be allowable.

I answered both questions and got back no and no

No scripture is commentary.

By the way, when that verse was written, it wasn't considered scripture, in that context, at that time; nor was the rest of the Brit Chadashah, for that matter. He was referring to the Torah
.

Shabbat shalom.

Drinking is no more wrong than eating. Drunkeness is liken to gluttony. There's no good reason for it. It's destructive to the Temple.

He wasn't just talking about the Torah, but the whole Tanakh.
And we don't live in the first or second century AD. The NT has
been canonized and is scripture, so all rules of scripture apply.

OK maybe the Tanakh. He didn't define scripture; but, despite your conjecture, we can still rule out the Brit Chadashah, since it was not scripture at the time. Sorry, he wasn't talking about scripture that didn't exist; and no matter how much you idolize the men who canonized what you call scripture; they were not Timothy; so they can't speak for him.

This is basic logic.

Aside from that, Timothy did not say anything about commandments in that verse. I asked for commandments. You failed to provide.

Is this scripture?:

(CLV) Jer 8:8
How can you say, We are wise, And the law of Yahweh is with us? Surely, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made a falsehood.

If so, what is Jeremiah talking about?

::Sighs:: Fear that I'm about to a new network of tunnels to this bottomless bunny hole.




Now, we go back to what you never answered.

pat34lee said: ↑

I asked the question. You failed to provide an adequate answer. I said NO. I haven't changed my response. If you believe that that any of those commands prohibit homo orgies; the onus is on you to prove it. You've still failed to do so.

Again, SEE: BURDEN OF PROOF!


Again, no direct commandments from YHWH; The only verse that might even count as scripture as mentioned by Timothy, is Proverbs. Proverbs are not the commandments of YHWH.

You've failed to prove otherwise.
