What are the "Sabbaths," "New Moons," and "Feasts"?

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

What about Galatians 3:24-25, which says we're no longer under the law? And what about Romans 7:4, which says we've become dead to the law? Since the comparision of Romans 7:4 is between a husband and wife (Romans 7:1-3), how a wife is under the law of her husband (not just his condemnation but under his authority, right?) until he dies, wouldn't this suggest that once we're dead to the law, we're no longer under its authority, and thus we don't have to follow it anymore?

Note: This is not antinomianism: I'm asking if we're dead to the law of Moses but now married to Christ (and thus, still need to obey Him).

If we are covered under Yeshua, we are no longer under the law...by that I and Paul mean that through Yeshua, the curse of the law we were under has been removed by His death on the cross.

Is the curse the punishment for breaking the law? If so, are you saying that only the punishment has been removed, and thus, Christians are still supposed to keep all the practices required in the law of Moses, or are there some requirements we no longer are expected to follow?

Yes. As I have said before, is murder still a sin? Stealing? Sin is the transgression of the law. The wages of sin is death.

Sin is simply putting our will ahead of the will of God.

Such are still sins, but for different reasons. Before, the proof it was wrong was the Ten Commandments under the old covenant. Now, the proof is the new covenant passages condemning such practices.

So you think, somehow, that is a difference? Just like "love God and your neighbor", it is all originally from Torah...

If you feel there isn't a difference, what about the command to wear tassels in the old covenant (Numbers 15:38-39)? Are we still to follow this command? If not, why not?

 

[timothyu]

Saying follow rabbinic laws instead of God's laws is like saying follow church rules instead of bible teachings.

It's the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth, not a set of written rules. That is the basis of the New Covenant, not just a change of what is written.

 

[timothyu]

The HS was given to those of the Kingdom to remind them (a guiding wind) that God's Kingdom will come and be better than anything any human can create. That is our hope. Cancel the authourity of man. Any other use of it in the name of religion is misdirection. The Jews were hoping for a kingdom of man, while gentile man which sets up it's own kingdoms sometime uses the name of God to justify their actions. Neither will be happy with the true Kingdom.

Well what does the command say? Does it apply to you? What are tzitziyot for? Is tekhelet still available now? I would say, for some, it may benefit them Then you have John 14:26...

Are you saying that they're for some people but not for others, perhaps? If so, maybe they're for Jews but not for Gentiles, you'd say, maybe?
