(CLV) 1Jn 3:9
Everyone who is begotten of God is not doing sin, for His seed is remaining in him, and he can not be sinning, for he is begotten of God.
Do you know the definition of sin?
Right, so you DO believe that faith in Jesus isn't enough; that we can't be a disciple, or maybe even be saved, unless we live as he did - circumcised, Aramaic speaking, inhabitants of Israel?
No way!
The final trump is still to come. Judgement day, still to come. Wedding feast, still to come;
and the feasts and sacrifices will continue in the kingdom to come.
Can we believe in Yahshua while not believing in the Torah?
(CLV) Jn 5:46
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for the writes concerning Me.
(CLV) Jn 5:47
Now if you are not believing this writings, how shall you be believing My declarations?"
Are you saying that it's our own actions that determine whether or not we enter the Kingdom?
Again, the Torah still exists and nothing has passed from it - but it is not for Gentile believers.
Presumably you get through a lot of sacrifices to atone for your sins, then.
I didn't even mention those.
It says that .... where?
Why will we be offering sacrifices in heaven?
Believing that the OT prophets and Scripture spoke of Jesus and pointed to his coming is completely different from saying that the OT Scriptures mean that we have to keep the law
The OT feasts and sacrifices pointed to Jesus, Abraham, Moses etc pointed to Jesus - and the law itself was only a shadow of what was to come in Jesus.
It's all about Jesus - and he needs no help whatsoever to save us.
Did I say that? here is what Yahshua says:
(CLV) Mt 5:20
For I am saying to you that, if ever your righteousness should not be superabounding more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, by no means may you be entering into the kingdom of the heavens.
What do you think this means?
YHWH's covenant is with Israel. Yahshua was commissioned only for Israel.
(CLV) Mt 15:24
Now He, [Yahshua] answering, said, "I was not commissioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Here is what Yahshua says:
(CLV) Mt 7:21
"Not everyone saying to Me `Lord! Lord!' will be entering into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the will of My Father Who is in the heavens.
(CLV) Mt 7:22
Many will be declaring to Me in that day, `Lord! Lord! Was it not in Your name that we prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many powerful deeds?'
(CLV) Mt 7:23
And then shall I be avowing to them that `I never knew you! Depart from Me, workers of lawlessness!'
You speak of the Law and Moedim in the past tense. That is not what scripture says.
Here is what Yahshua says:
Yahshua gave all esteem to YHWH. It's all about YHWH. YHWH saves us; as it is written.
Why would you presume that?
I did.
I didn't say heaven. I said kingdom to come.
I think that I'm feeling a little speck in my eye. It might be a speck of dust from one of my tzitzits, which might not have been completely purified in my tzitzit miikveh. Would you take a look at it for me, Brother?
Are you saying that it's our own actions that determine whether or not we enter the Kingdom?
John 3:3.
Again, the Torah still exists and nothing has passed from it - but it is not for Gentile believers.
I'm glad I am a gentile woman - that means I can't be circumcised and don't have the Torah for salvation.
All I have, and need, is Jesus.
No, Jesus didn't say that.
He said "not everyone who says 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom."
Even though Paul says that no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit, it is possible to say "the Lord Jesus", or sing hymns about Jesus the Lord without really understanding what that means - and practicing it.
But no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again, John 3:3.
Jesus did not say "some of you believe you have been born again, but haven't." Nor did he say that keeping the law was a condition for being born again. And Jesus is the only one who can give eternal life. I don't think anyone is "led to believe it" - they either trust in Jesus, accept him and receive eternal life, or they don't.
Keeping the law does not give us eternal life, and can't save us either.
That's not what Jesus said.
That passage does not say that they "believed they were his children" but in fact weren't.
I never said keeping the law, after I broke it, will save me. That is you twisting my words.
The passage is a warning about religious men who "Come in Christ's Name", who "Teach in Christ's Name", who "Help people in Christ's Name", "who do "many" wonderful works in Christ's name, who call Jesus their Lord, Lord.
But the Christ doesn't even know them. And the reason HE GIVES, is HE doesn't know them, because they "work" Lawlessness. Which means they "hear" the sayings of the Christ, but they refuse to humble themselves and honor Him enough to "Do" them.
I brought these things to your attention in case you didn't know, but you have convinced me you know full well. So my job here is done.
We can hope that you don't get married and bear children, thus requiring the Levitical sacrifice to be offered in the temple in Jerusalem.
The question is, how do you become righteous
He made a NEW covenant; sealed by the blood of his Son, Matthew 26:28.
And Jesus spoke to, taught and healed Gentiles.
Jesus said this after his disciples told him to send the Syro-phonecian woman away.
He didn't - he listened to her, commended her for her faith and healed her daughter.
Didn't someone say something about context?
So it exists now for the Jew; present tense.
I am not Jewish.
Become righteous? Do we become righteous when someone owes us money; as we choose not to sleep in their clothes?
