I changed the word, before you had quoted it, but none the less, it wasn't directed at the verse, it was towards you for using it. But I thought it might offend, so it was changed. I am sorry though if it did offend you personally though. God knew what it meant, and how I meant it. And below is how it was intended:
You were using a verse in the Torah, trying to pertain that to a Christian, basically saying that Gentiles are damned, and there sins are still upon them, because they didn't follow, be under, be subject, to the Torah. That was offensive to me. Like I would ever be cut off , and you even trying to imply that I would. I am not a Gentile, MARC, I am a Child of the Living God, in which there is NO distinction between genders, religions, nationalities, or lineages. Part of the Body of Christ.
But none the less I must thank you. Because of you and our talks, my spirit has been enlarged by His Spirit. I understand now the Gospels. Why they were written, to whom they were written, what purpose they were written. So, Thank you. By His Love, His unending Love, it is wonderful to know. Know the things which some men may never know. To be revealed in such a way, that makes my spirit complete, with His.
Did you ever stop to think of why it was Paul, the Pharisee, the Roman, the Man of reputation, who was given charge to dispense the Gospel to the Gentile? And why it wasn't the other 12 Apostles?
Did you ever wonder why Paul never taught the Gentiles the Law, but only skimmed the surface, but only to describe differences between Law and Grace?
We have had many discussions of what in the bible pertains to Christians, and what pertains to Jews, and what pertains to Christian Jews.
This is in part what I have been given.
Jesus taught the Jews, as they needed the teaching in the purest form, from the only begotten Son of God. What the Law meant, how it was intended to be kept, and what the leaders of the day were doing wrong. For this, He was crucified. He claimed to be the Son of God, which by the way, ALL of us have the inherited right to do, if you are Born from Above in the Spirit. We are Children of God, which makes us sons and daughters of God. But that was blasphemy, even though it was recorded in psalms describing such. God wasn't THAT personal, even though He wanted to be. He wanted to be Father, but they wanted to be slaves, instead of sons. They traded their inheritence, for a bowl of stew. Jesus taught them parables, hoping that their eyes would be opened. He taught them the Love of Father, the Grace of Father, the Mercy of Father. He had every reason to live, but gave them what they needed the most. His Death. The only way for a New Covenant to be brought in. By Blood.
But see Gentiles weren't given the oracles of God. They had no Lineages going back to Moses. Their Lineage started with Abraham, and his promise, by God. They also didn't have any Laws, ways or days of worship, or any other such commandments. Barbaric for sure, with nothing to live for, except their pagan gods, and what they can muster in this life. Death, destruction, pillage, and conquer. Love to them must have seemed carnal at best, but there had to been some deeper hidden meanings behind their feelings of Love. We now know what this was. It was God working through their hearts. Opening them up. Writing His Love on them.
Why was Paul so profoundly against teaching the Law to the Gentile, to the point he confronted Peter? Because He knew they didn't need it. Any part of it. Jesus the Christ was enough. They had their King, and needed no other. They were indeed free! Like the days of old when Israel wanted a king, and God protested. Paul let them know they ALL fell short of God's glory, what it meant to be a fleshly carnal sinner separated by sin, describing this sin, and brought them into a new Kingdom, where ULTIMATE Love prevails. They didn't need to be under, nor subject to any of the old Law, as that Law was for the Carnal Mind, and not the Spiritual mind of Christ. He says to PUT ON, the mind of Christ, and when doing so, you will not be troubled with how to live, you SHOULD KNOW how to live, in this flesh. Walk in the Spirit, live in the Spirit, Love in the Spirit.
Jews don't understand this, as it destroyed ALL their control. Their control over the oracles. Their control over the Law. Their control over the people. Their control of even the money. Their control of the Land. It was ALL taken, and they were left desolate. They had none, nor will they ever have it again, without struggles and never ending war. And as they try to take it back, it will go against EVERYTHING Christ did on that Cross, that day. He is our King. He has the Control. He paid for this control by His own Blood, and if you want to be part of His Kingdom, you must and will have to recognize this fact. His ONLY LAW, if you should have to even call it that, is to LOVE, and be LOVED. If it takes a LAW for you to do this, I am sorry, but never the less, it is there. Recorded for ALL to see. HIS Perfect Law, as a Father would have for a Son, and a Son would have for His Brothers, because His Fathers will was above even His own will, and He Himself gave it to US. Completed, Whole, New. Restored unto the Kingdom from which we ALL came.
Some day you might see this. Maybe not. I have tried so hard to overcome this flesh, but the more I try, the more I fail. I will ALWAYS fall short this way. I am saddened it took this long to realize it. A lot of time has went into trying to discover the 'secrets' of the oracles, the 'secrets' of Revelations, and most of all, the 'secret' to which bound and blinded the Children from Father. But sad to say, it was all for naught. There is no secret that won't be opened to those who seek. There is no hidden messages to the oracles. There is no hidden message in Revelations. Christ REVEALED is the only secret, and to get this secret, you can only go to the one place in the universe, to which the secret will be revealed. Do you know where this is? I'll give you hint, it isn't a book, or a scroll.
Christ was selfless.. Big difference.. Marc are you saying that you can love God with your own mind and your own will?
