St. Paul Demonstrating Sola Scriptura In Scripture

[Rick Otto]

read rom 4;12, even the Jews have to walk as Abe did, before circumcision. Abe was used everywhere by Paul, to ward of jewish nationalism, judaism, and law, that is a factoid of the day.

So we do not have "hebrew roots", it is not a carnal connection, read rom 9:8, it is not the children of fleshh who are the children of God, but promise, and in Abe, no more jew or gentile, col 3;11, gal 3;28.

So what then? Did Abe walk sideways?

i think ACTUALLY AFTER THE SNIP, HE WAS IN PAIN, FORGET WALKING.

 

[visionary]

Simple question. Is obedience to God pleasing to Him?

See Joshua's account after entering the PL.

Yes.

 

[visionary]

Yes.

and that is the gospel in a nutshell.. you are forgiven when you mess up, but the primary goal is to obey God.

 

[Rick Otto]

Would that be like a Brazil Nut shell or more like a Filbert,...oh wait! It had to be like an Almond, right?
Sorry, I was confused about fruits on the Westboro thread, & now I'm mixing nuts on the Sola Scriptura thread. I hope the OP guy doesn't mind.

I agree, but wonder if it would still be as simple to agree that obediance to Him is impossible & considered foolishness, without His undeserved intervention?
We may have just gone from a nutshell to an egg shell.

I don't think that is the primary goal. Mindless obedience especially is not the goal, although insofar as the relationship is a legal one, this would be sufficient.
The primary goal is to become friends with God, to develop a loving relationship with him.
Obeying him is not the goal, but the means to the goal.

The goal itself is to be in love with God.

I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends,* because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.k
16
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
17
This I command you: love one another.

Been wondering about that ...

faith pleases God, and the gentiles showed the way, to the jews, read rom 9:30.

then why was the gospel juxtapoed to the law, in gal 3:9-3:10?

blessed with Abe in the gospel, cursed under law in 3:10.

Abraham takes down the mj doctrine big time.

interesting post, from a jew right here on the forum..about messianic Judaism, gentiles trying to act like jews..

Personally, I do view them differently. I respect Christians and have absolutely no

Messianic Christians are another issue.

First, they insist on calling their faith "Messianic Judaism", when it's beliefs are
totally foreign to Judaism-they profess the standard tenets of Christianity, but
insist that it is "a Judaism". Most of them are not Jews...so how can you have
"a Judaism" when they are as a whole not Jews, and hold beliefs that are
contradictory to Judaism?

Second, the sabbath was given to Jews, not to the gentiles. Gentiles are
not in the least obligated to observe Torah, but Messianics insist that they are.
Some Messianics no longer consider themselves to be gentile, but "Hebrews",
or "Israel" or "Ephraim", in short a type of replacement theology.

Next, Messianics take Jewish rituals and ritual objects and use them in an
inappropriate way of worshipping, as considered by Judaism. They insist
they are following Torah and the faith of Jesus, but they copy so much of
Jewish customs and culture that either were not in existence at the time,
or there is no evidence they were.

It's embarrasing when gentiles see these Messianics and assume that they are
Jews...it happens a lot, and I cringe every time.

Messianics as a whole absolutely refuse to be called "Christian" even though
they hold the faith of Christianity at their core. They also claim Jews are not following
true Judaism, that we follow man made law (yet they also follow a lot of rabbinical
law, while at the same time decrying it), that we can't understand our own bible.
Now, I know this is painting all Messianics with a broad brush, but I have seen it
over and over.

Guess you can tell I am not a big fan of the Messianic faith, eh?

Now, as far as Messianics or Christians observing Saturday as sabbath, rather than
Sunday, I don't have a problem with it at all...what I do have a problem with is
the method of observance...copying Jews.

1 what?

BTW, did you ever see who came down the mountain? It's not a trick question. (don't be so suspicious, or is that just the frog nature)

 

[Rick Otto]

I saw. The way it's written it looks like Abe came down alone.

When does Isaac show up again?

Imagine the tradition that sprang up then----Abe and Isaac go up together, but only Abe comes back down, and he says God provided the sacrifice. Uh huh. Just in case, we need to do some more stuff ...

 

[Rick Otto]

Doing stuff seems to be the preferable alternative to direct relationship from at least Mt. Sinai to the seven hills.
Shows up in chptr24, at least as a topic if not personaly, Abe wanting a wife for Isaac. Then at the end of the chapter he arrives to meet the chosen fiance.
