You inferred that love is in the law. I said I don't think so. (show me)So if love isn't a command, why did Jesus say that his commandment is to love one another? I'm lost at what you are saying here.
Galatians?Scripture is my basis, just read passages like Galatians 4:4-5.
You guys are teaching strange things, and refuse to listen, I'm outta here.
In answer to your question, he kept the whole Law of Moses as a Jew, and kept the moral code revealed in the Law of Moses (Ten Commandments) as Redeemer.
(Why does the text above say that we are not come to Mount Sinai, but to Mount Zion?)
(Is this verse speaking of the “church” of Jesus Christ?)
Heb 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH—
Heb 8:10 FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD
THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
Heb 8:12 FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."
Heb 12:22 But you have
Heb 12:18 For you have
You're confusing me here.Does it say anything about loving one another? (nope)
Both the first and second deal with love, the second is about love between you and your neighbor.And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
To be free from something means you are not in bondage to it by having to do it,e.g., kill, steal, lie, adultery, etc...
The burden is having to commit the sin not getting to abstain from it. We don't got to follow the law, we get to
You are free, because you don't do it and, hopefully, you do the opposite: give life, give possessions, spread the truth, and be a loving spouse, etc...
"The mount was covered by the cloud for six days, and on the seventh day Moses went into the midst of the cloud and was "in the mount forty days and forty nights."[46] And Moses said, "the LORDdelivered unto me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly."[47] Before the full forty days expired, the children of Israel collectively decided that something had happened to Moses, and compelled Aaron to fashion a golden calf, and he "built an altar before it"[48]and the people "worshipped" the calf.[49]
After the full forty days, Moses and Joshua came down from the mountain with the tablets of stone: "And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount."[50]After the events in chapters 32 and 33, the LORD told Moses, "Hew thee two tablets of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tablets the words that were in the first tablets, which thou brakest."[51] "And he wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me."[52]
According to Jewish tradition, Exodus 20:1–17 constitutes God's first recitation and inscription of the ten commandments on the two tablets,[53]which Moses broke in anger with his rebellious nation, and were later rewritten on replacement stones and placed in the ark of the covenant;[54] and Deuteronomy 5:4–25 consists of God's re-telling of the Ten Commandments to the younger generation who were to enter the Promised Land."
Ten Commandments - Wikipedia
So, Who's your LORD?
Also, speaking of the underlined words in the last portion of the passage, do you all think that the breaking of the original stones and the "replacement stones" account, prefigures the need for Messiah to fulfill the Law? is it our hearts that are the replacement stones?
"For ewhat the law could not do, in that fit was weak through the flesh, gYah sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and ||for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, awho walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Romans 8:3-4
We, who believe, are dead to the curse of the law and alive to the blessings!
" And Moses came and told the people all the words of YHWH, and all the ordinances: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which YHWH hath spoken will we do."
Exodus 24:3
"What commandments is Jesus talking about?"
What Yahuah commanded, Moses commanded, and what Moses commanded, Yahshua re-commanded in the renewed covenant.
Well, if you don't see the family connection between Father and Son, here's a passage that may help:
"Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"
Who's Law?
"What commandments is Jesus talking about?"
John 12:49-50
"For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
The command has gone out. Yeshua has proclaimed the beacon call. The shofar has sounded, the tekiah gedolah. Lasting over 2000 yrs so far. No longer is any of the House of Yisrael teaching and proclaiming the command to ‘Know the LORD‘. Because the Father is commanding all, from the least of us to the greatest, to know Him, through Yeshua.
The command is to know the LORD through Yeshua. To have a relationship with God through Yeshua the Messiah.
The One He sent to judge and forgive our sins. We are commanded to believe in Him. That He is the One He said he was, and that He did the things He said He did. This is Faith that leads to eternal life! This was the command Yeshua gave all who listened. This was the command proclaimed by the Father through the Son of God, Yeshua.
All will know the LORD because He will forgive our wickedness and remember our sins no more, because of Yeshua!! The Father is commanding all through Yeshua to know Him.
Why does reformed christianity not convey this kindness by teaching replacement theology? That the church receives Israel's blessings while Israel only gets pruned out of the tree?
Unless you understand Israel's redemption you will never grasp the details of your own.
Why do you conflate the law with the promise? And so create a strawman.BTW, why did you put up the verses from John? You ask about Yeshua and His Father's Torah? A house divided can NOT stand...
I'm sorry for you. I don't believe in replacement theology. By the same token I don't believe the Church excludes Jewish believers. I'm so sorry you think gentiles stole God from the Jews. I ask you to read Romans 11 and Ephesians 2. Gentile believers are graft into Jesus just the same as Jews. Gentiles aren't graft into Israel nor do we become Israel. John 10 says there will be one fold. It doesn't say that fold will be Israel. At the same time Romans 11 says God isn't finished with Israel. There's nothing dealing with salvation in the whole Bible requiring one to become a Jew (Israeli) to possess salvation. Jesus made it clear whosoever will can be saved. For me it's simple, If one wants to participate in the New Covenant, they must accept Jesus as the Messiah. If one doesn't they can't participate in the New Covenant nor can they have eternal life the Old Covenant dsoesn't provide for. We took nothing from the Jews they can't also have. Their jealousy is their own fault and problem. I've never found a Jew who will even talk to me a gentile about their religion. They seem very angry and bitter closing themselves off. They've done this all by themselves and God said they'd essentially become a swear word. I've been to NE and done business with them. Jesus said you will go through Him if you want access to God the Father (God of Israel) JN 14:6. Gentiles have nothing to do with this. BTW it's not the tree one is pruned from.The letter was addressed primarily to Jewish converts who were familiar with the OT and who were being tempted to revert to Judaism or to Judaize the gospel (cf. Gal 2:14). Some have suggested that these professing Jewish Christians were thinking of merging with a Jewish sect, such as the one at Qumran near the Dead Sea. It has also been suggested that the recipients were from the "large number of priests who became obedient to the faith" (Ac 6:7).
The book (to the) Hebrews. Strange how you can understand that the book was written to the Galatians but can't seem to identify who the "you" is in the book written to the Jewish Christians.
Who is the father making the New covenant with, and how does (present tense) it affect the people of Israel? The Hebrews. This is the general concept of the book.
Still amazing how Christians use the book against the very people it was written to. Stripping all the blessings from the tree thinking the curses remain only for the fig.
The covenant of old is obsolete, but the people and God's relationship with us remain under the new. Branches are removed, many more added, but the tree remains.
After all, the 'root' is holy.
16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.Why does reformed christianity not convey this kindness by teaching replacement theology? That the church receives Israel's blessings while Israel only gets pruned out of the tree?
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
18do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Unless you understand Israel's redemption you will never grasp the details of your own.
Love can't be commanded nor demanded.You're confusing me here.
Both the first and second deal with love, the second is about love between you and your neighbor.
These are two very direct commands to love.
"You shall love...."
According to John it isn't the law given by Moses. See 1:17; 13:34 and 15:10."What commandments is Jesus talking about?"
John 12:49-50
"For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
According to John it isn't the law given by Moses. See 1:17; 13:34 and 15:10.
But He did speak His Father's Commandment right?
His standard of conduct is higher than the Sinai Covenant, based on His words "But I say to you..."
Mat 5:27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.'
Mat 5:28 But I say to you
