Hello Christopheralan.
In the New Testament the phrase, 'the law', occurs often and describes at a minimum, the 613 laws commonly called the law of Moses
Hello Bob.
The law requires physical circumcision,
Sin is transgression of the law,
therefore to not become circumcised is not obeying the law.
How could you possibly claim that circumcision is not law?
How is that not part of the OT?
If gentiles joined the Hebrews, they had to become circumcised and follow all the Law.
Kool. I like that. Since you are a Berean type you like them have searched the Scripture and agree with Paul. That being the case, I do not think we have anything to debate. Everything I post agrees with Paul. Paul wrote -
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom 7

What for? just for you to throw out? NTL I quote -Neither OT nor NT required that gentiles be circumcised -- and we both know it.
Why not quote the Bible??
Why does keeping the commandments matter?That is true -- 1 John 3:4 says that very thing.
No law in either OT or NT required that gentiles be circumcised - and we both know it.
"circumcision is nothing and uncirumcision is nothing but what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19
Then why have you quoted Rom 2 about circumcision in many other posts?Gentiles did not have to become Jews to worship the true God. That was never an OT demand.
Gentiles were told to observe the Sabbath in Isaiah 56:1-8 but never told that they had to be circumcised to be saved or to worship the one true God.
All mankind to come before God "from Sabbath to Sabbath" and bow down in worship Isaiah 66:23 -- but never do we see "all mankind circumcised" in OT or NT.
Hence Paul's statement here
"circumcision is nothing and uncirumcision is nothing but what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19
Care to tell us what you think or want us to think this verse means?Paul wrote "do we then make void the Law by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the Law" Rom 3:31
I didn't see a reference to spiritual Israel in any of the Scripture you listed.
I'm not trying to prove what I already believe and what I believe is based on Scripture.
Has God rejected His people?
Sure.
Well you are wrong about the Old testament not requiring circumcision for a Gentile.Neither OT nor NT required that gentiles be circumcised -- and we both know it.
I intend to Bob.Why not quote the Bible??
See above.No law in either OT or NT required that gentiles be circumcised - and we both know it.
For the Gentiles in the New Testament circumcision was not required."circumcision is nothing and uncirumcision is nothing but what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19
I already quoted above to prove the point.Why not start quoting the Bible to make your case???
Hello Lee.Physical Israel is no longer the covenant nation.
But Spiritual Israel can still partake of the covenant.
Romans 9:6
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
Why does New Testament Scripture refer to the GOD OF ISRAEL, and not the God of humanity"?
Mark 12:29
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
Why does it not say redeemed humanity instead distinctly mentioning "Israel"?
Luke 1:68
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
Who will the "King of Israel" rule over?
John 1:49
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
Why would it be necessary to give repentance and a Savior TO ISRAEL instead of humanity?
Acts 5:31
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
Why would God sent the WORD EVEN AFTER Jesus Crucifixion unto the children of Israel, and not humanity?
Acts 10:36
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all)
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
Why would God raise up a Savior unto an "extict" nation, and not all of humanity?
Acts 13:23
Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are extinct;
How could God make a covenant in the latter days to Israel?
Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are to be extinct;(Satan's GOAL!)
Why would Jesus be sent unto the lost sheep of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
Matthew 15:24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are to be extinct;(Satan's GOAL!)
Why would Jesus instruct His Apostles to go STRICTLY TO the LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL, and not humanity?
Matthew 10:6
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are to be extinct;(Satan's GOAL!)
Then why are the 144,000 ALL of the 12 tribes of Israel?
Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
If God's people (Spiritual Israel) are to be extinct;(Satan's GOAL!)
Why do each of the 12 gates of New Jerusalem bear their respective name of each of the 12 tribes?
Revelation 21:12
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes ofthe children of Israel:
Name ONE,
JUST ONE REFERENCE in NEW OR OLD TESTAMENT KJV SCRIPTURE that has NOT been paraphrased
that ever mentions "Christian's" OVER ISRAEL as God's chosen people.
Hello Dig4truth.I would like to see some Scripture to support your claims.
Hello Dig4truth.I would like to see some Scripture to support your claims.
Hello Dig4truth.
Luke 21
20 “But when you see Jerusalem recognize that her desolation is near. 21 Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and the city; 22 because these are the days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.
We switched from the era of Israel and the Jews to the era of the Gentiles. The Jews will have no nation until the era of the Gentiles has been fulfilled.
Luke 21
24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
The clock is still ticking for the Gentiles.
Israel was grafted out and the Gentile nations have been grafted in.
God will NEVER reject HIS PEOPLE.
The great controversy appears to be;
Who are God's people?
-Is ISRAEL(not the nation in the middle east) God's chosen people forever
-Or CAN "Christian's" abolish GOD'S PERPETUAL EVERLASTING COVENANT and replace Israel?
There is a great lie,
which has been perpetrated upon those that acknowledge Christ,
by the 4th dreadful kingdom of Daniel,
that God's PERPETUAL(never-ending) covenant with Israel ended and does not pertain to "Christian's".
NOW, IF THAT COVENANT . . . . . .
carried a death sentence for anyone breaking that covenant,
who do you believe would try to convince God's chosen people
that WHAT GOD DECLARED an EVERLASTING covenant,
was NOT everlasting and had ended,
causing Gods mighty people to break that covenant and be surely put to death?
Exodus 31:15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 31:17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Are you willing to bet your life on explanations of a man, or the Word of God?
Is YOUR SIGN with God,
Or is your sign with the "Pontifex Maximus" who claims equality with Jesus and the authority to ABOLISH A NEVER ENDING COVENANT?
The truth, if you are digging for it is;
There is no such Scripture written stating God's PERPETUAL(never-ending) covenant with Israel ended and was bestowed upon "Christian's".
That lie is straight from the mouth of the "Little Horn".
Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
“Sunday is our mark or authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record of London, Ontario, September 1, 1923.
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act...And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.
“I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy.
There is no such law in the Bible.
It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone.
The Bible says, ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.’
The Catholic Church says: ‘No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.’
And lo!
The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.” father T. Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, February 18, 1884, printed in History of the Sabbath, p. 802
Hello Lee.
Sorry I have been away.
The New Testament was written by Jews, so we can expect a very Jewish flavor to the letters in the New Testament. In fact, there are a number of letters written by Jews to a distinctly Jewish audience, in the New Testament.
Even Paul's letter to the Romans was aimed at the Jews. So we expect the word, 'law', to be a frequent word. We also expect to see numerous mentions of the word, 'Israel'.
If the authors of these letters had written these letters fifty years later, these words would have vanished.
Aren't you the one that said physical Israel is no longer the Covenant nation? What gives here?
Did you really get what Jesus wrote? If yo did you would not have related it to Torah.That's great because we know that the whole Torah is based on this command.
There is nothing to compare with Jn13:34. He asks us ro love Others as He has loved us. He gave his life for you and me brother. Would you give yor life for others? Is there anything in Torah that commanded the Israelites to give their lives for others? Love is the theme of the new covenant, law ws the theme of the old one given to Israel only.And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment.39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Sorry, but Strong was wrong. Jesus knew it ws a new concept and He wouldn't have written that it was "new" if it were not.So yeh, love one another.
The word "new" in your passage from John is Strongs 2537, it means new as in freshness. Yeshua was renewing a command and making it more relevant.
Jesus is God, He can do whatever He pleases. That statement was meant for us. Why do you try to add a 10 in front of commandments where commandments appears in the New Testament? In matt5 Jesus added to Torah. Would you likewise condemn Him for that?Otherwise Yeshua would be guilty of sin because it is against the Torah to add to it.
Read above.These passages from I John and II John explains it further:
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
You really seem to be on both sides of the fence. The covenant made with Israel ended at the cross. Jeremiah prophesied this would happen. Jesus confirmed it in Luke 22:20. There's nothing in the NT saying anything about obligation to the covenant given to Israel at Sinai.God will NEVER reject HIS PEOPLE.
The great controversy appears to be;
Who are God's people?
-Is ISRAEL(not the nation in the middle east) God's chosen people forever
-Or CAN "Christian's" abolish GOD'S PERPETUAL EVERLASTING COVENANT and replace Israel?
I wonder about this statement. The title you use has always been associated with the human posterior. I do recognize you could really be talking about a ruler in the old world also called Constantine the Great. If that is the case you're very off topic as he wasn't a religious figure of authority.There is a great lie,
which has been perpetrated upon those that acknowledge Christ,
by the 4th dreadful kingdom of Daniel,
that God's PERPETUAL(never-ending) covenant with Israel ended and does not pertain to "Christian's".
NOW, IF THAT COVENANT . . . . . .
carried a death sentence for anyone breaking that covenant,
who do you believe would try to convince God's chosen people
that WHAT GOD DECLARED an EVERLASTING covenant,
was NOT everlasting and had ended,
causing Gods mighty people to break that covenant and be surely put to death?
Exodus 31:15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 31:17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Are you willing to bet your life on explanations of a man, or the Word of God?
Is YOUR SIGN with God,
Or is your sign with the "Pontifex Maximus" who claims equality with Jesus and the authority to ABOLISH A NEVER ENDING COVENANT?
Then you actually are both denying the new covenant and evangelizing Christians.The truth, if you are digging for it is;
There is no such Scripture written stating God's PERPETUAL(never-ending) covenant with Israel ended and was bestowed upon "Christian's".
Are you calling Jeremiah and Jesus liars? I think so.That lie is straight from the mouth of the "Little Horn".
Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Here you clearly refer tot he RCC. This makes me think indeed you're using Pontifex Maximus in the derogatory manner referring to the human buttocks.“Sunday is our mark or authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record of London, Ontario, September 1, 1923.
Let them claim anything they want. That doesn't make anything a fact.“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act...And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.
I've been here awhile. Would yuo mind giving the post short cut link?“I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy.
The Bible gives no such command in the new covenant.There is no such law in the Bible.
It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone.
The Bible says, ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.’
The Catholic Church says: ‘No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.’
And lo!
The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.” father T. Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, February 18, 1884, printed in History of the Sabbath, p. 802
Everyone I know understands there was no nation called Israel for at least 1370 years. The time of the gentiles isn't over yet even though there's a nation called Israel.Sorry, but I didn't see anything about Israel being rejected in the verses you quoted.
What I have seen and quoted before is God saying as long as the natural flow of the earth exists, Israel will never cease being a nation before God. Also, we have Paul declaring that Israel has not been rejected.
