What commandments is Jesus talking about?

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

Why do you conflate the law with the promise? And so create a strawman.

Your house is divided because you deny the commandments of Yeshua that lead and teach you to receive the Spirit, so as to remove your sins.

You are confused. I am saying none of that...YOU are saying I am.

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

I would say no, what would you say?
(the burden of proof is on you)

I have given you it before...

Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18

BTW, Yeshua actually expanded the law in the NT. Things like you have committed adultery if you even look! Not just physically!

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

Seems like you had it coming.

I see...maybe he did too...but because you disagree with only me, only I am in the wrong...how convenient for you...

 

[Saint Steven]

Like microwave popcorn.
It's all about convenience. lol

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

It's all about convenience. lol

Yeah, I can see that...

 

[Saint Steven]

Yeah, I can see that...

Does Sabbath make some people crabby?

 

[Saint Steven]

He said the law was good. It was the curse that was removed...

That's sounds like a misquote to me.

 

[BABerean2]

This is all One, there is no contradiction...this is the Word from the Father.

Gal 4:24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—
Gal 4:25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—
Gal 4:26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Gal 4:27 For it is written: "REJOICE, O BARREN, YOU WHO DO NOT BEAR! BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR! FOR THE DESOLATE HAS MANY MORE CHILDREN THAN SHE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."
Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Gal 4:29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREEWOMAN."
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

Why did Paul compel the Galatian believers to "cast out" the Sinai Covenant of "bondage"?

Hagar represents unbelief, not Torah. Ishmael represents the seed of the serpent, which is the enemy of the children of promise, represented by Isaac. The distinction that your passage addresses is unbelief versus belief, not "law versus grace". Did the Pharisees uphold Torah or the tradition of men?

Mark 7:9
"He said to them, “Well you reject the commandment of Elohim that you may establish your traditions.”

Sorry but I'm not going out in public with a blindfold on. Looking is one thing desiring a physical connection is quite another. I simply don't want something that doesn't belong to me.

Does Sabbath make some people crabby?

It certainly does.

Galatians 4:6
"Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father.""

John 14:15
"If you love me, keep my commandments."

John 14:31
"But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence."

John 15:10
"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."

1 Corinthians 11:1-3
"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."

Seed, roots, vine (trunk), branches, fruit...same tree.

He obeyed the Father, His Spirit is in you...Who do you obey?

 

[ace of hearts]

He said the law was good. It was the curse that was removed...

On the contrary -

Rom 7:6 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.

There's more. This one is my all time favorite.

Please read the allegory in Gal 4 again.

I did.

 

[ace of hearts]

I did.

Swell! What did it say?

 

[Tone]

Swell! What did it say?

The gist of it is a plea from Paul to Galatians, to not revert to their former way of life, "when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods." (Galatians 4:8)

 

[Tone]

Who are the two groups being addressed?

Galatians 6:4
"Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,"

Outward religious appearance (like the Pharisees) of unbelievers.

Galatians 6:10
"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers"

Galatians 6:12-13
"Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised ."

Outward religious appearance (like the Pharisees) of unbelievers.

Unbelievers and believers are being addressed.

Galatians 6:1
"Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted."

So the sin here is keeping Torah?

Galatians 5:24
"Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."

Is this a passion and desire to keep Torah?

 

[Tone]

Again I ask:

Did the Pharisees uphold Torah or the tradition of men?

Mark 7:9
"He said to them, “Well you reject the commandment of Elohim that you may establish your traditions.”

Don't these pharisees sound familiar. They were circumcised, yet, they didn't keep the Law. They were unbelievers who did everything for show. They were of the flesh, because they held to their traditions. They abandoned the Torah, and so they did not accept or recognize the Messiah, even as He stood right in front of them.

 

[Tone]

Galatians 5:11
"Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished."

Paul formerly preached Pharisaism, when he did not believe in Messiah. He was of the cirumcision that held to traditions of men and not to Torah. The law he refers to is the oral law of Rabbinic Judaism.
