Why Jews were made, not Born

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

Just curious, how then are you defining Hebrews 4?

As Jesus is our Sabbath rest, we rest from the labors of the works of the law.

While we work now in Christ in concert with the Holy Spirit who indwells us, (we rest in Him and HE works in us) it's not like works under the law which was a yoke and a burden. We are now set free and in a rest while in Christ Jesus.

Why then, do you observe things such as the Sabbath?

It is not a burden, it is a joy Shabbat Shalom!

 

[Hazelelponi]

It is not a burden, it is a joy Shabbat Shalom!

I am asking specifically then, do you observe Sabbath as a law that you must follow to gain your salvation?

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

Absolutely NOT. Yeshua is my Salvation...literally! Shabbat Shalom!

 

[Hazelelponi]

Absolutely NOT. Yeshua is my Salvation...literally! Shabbat Shalom!

Useful, I was curious. Thank you for being forthright.

At any rate God Bless you..

Daughters of circumcised Jewish men were included in the community as well as wives of Jewish men. But any boy not circumcised was cut off (excommunicated).

cut it off or be cut off

The eighth day circumcision appeared to be an important day for the Hebrew Jews in the OT, with the sign of the circumcision on the 8th day being one of them.

I looked up "eighth" in a concordance and what I found was pretty profound.

http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html

https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=eighth&t=NKJV#s=s_primary_0_1

The word "eighth" is used only 5 times in the NT, only 1 time in the Gospels, and that at the circumcision of John the Baptist in Luke 1:

Luke 1:59
So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise<4059> the child;
and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.

And in Acts concerning Abraham and Isaac:

Act 7:8 [Genesis 21:4]
“Then He gave him the Covenant of circumcision;
and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day;
and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.

Paul describes how he was circumcised on the 8th day, being of the tribe of Benjamin ,who was born last in the OT <Genesis 35:18> and shown last in <Revelation 7:8>

Philippians 3:5
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin,
a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

Now this just floored me. The last 2 of the 5 verses listed in the NT...
I just now found this and the fact that the 8th in the NT primarily signifies "circumcision", perhaps this is related to it?
[the priestly tribe of Levi is also mentioned 8th in order of the 12 tribes in Reve 7]
Pretty fascinating....

Revelation 17:11
“The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth,
and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
[Philippians 3:2
Beware of the dogs!/kunaV <2965> beware of-the evil workers! beware of-the circumcision! [Psalm 22:16/Isaiah 56:11/Revelation 22:15]

Revelation 21:20
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

Now you are contradicting yourself Derek.
Judaism is mentioned twice in the Bible, by Paul in Galatians.
It was the religion of the Pharisees.

The Pharisees Came into existence during the Hasmonean period, along with the writing down of oral codes that seem to have started during the Babylonian exile.

To suggest Judaism was the Faith of the Fathers is a lie from the pit of hell.

This Judaism was the religion that persecuted the Church and denied Christ's resurrection. In other words it is an anti-Christ religion.

Please take your vile blasphemies elsewhere

I tend to agree...........

Circumcision used to incapacitate an enemy before killing them......
who would have ever thought............

Genesis 34:
24 And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city,
and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
25 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
26 and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem's house, and go out.

Anyone else see a connection between the Rich man in Luke 16 and the Queen in Revelation 18?,

This is all OC Hebrew symbology, and appears to primarily be about the Priesthood and Temple

http://www.herealittletherealittle.net/index.cfm?page_name=Lazarus

The KING

Luke 16:19
Yet a certain Man was rich
and was clothed<1737> purple and fine-linen
making-merry down to a-day shiningly

The same form of the word #1737 is used only in one other verse

Mark 15:17 And they clothed <1737> Him purple, and having twisted together a crown of thorns, they placed it on Him, 18 and they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

The Queen

Revelation 18:
7 As much as glorifies herself, and indulges be giving to her tormenting and mourning
that in her heart she is saying 'I am sitting a Queen and widow not I am and mourning not I shall be seeing'.

16 “and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great City that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,
and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

See you all on Sunday. Shabbat Shalom!

Love the the F14!
I grew up with the F4c Phantom back in the mid '60s while in high school. My dad was stationed at a SAC base in Tucson [Davis-Monthan, which is now a "boneyard"].
Use to watch 'em take off.

It appears God prefers the "F18 Hornet"....

Deuteronomy 7:20
“Moreover Yahweh your Elohim will send the Hornet among them
until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed.
