o.k., if you are just going to ignore the part about the yoke of bondage, and say that this verse means that gentiles will LEARN the O.T. law, then I do not what to say. I will pray for you. you tear apart the Word to suit your own pre-disposed ideas. you are putting your self above the Bible, refusing to see clear meaning. I apologize to you. you need prayer, not rebuke. hope you get right brother.
Mattithyah 22:36-40, "Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law? Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Matt 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."

"Unless heaven and earth passes away..the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law"

Revelation 21:1-2, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, Yahchanan, saw the holy city, Yahweh Shammah, coming down from Yahweh out of heaven, prepared as brides adorned for their husbands. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of Yahweh is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and Yahweh Himself will be with them, and be their Father.

Been thought all this ad nausea-em...


Mattithyah 15:2-3, "Why do Your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat. But He answered, and said to them: And why do you transgress the Laws of Yahweh by your traditions?"

Mattithyah 15:15, "But Kepha spoke, and said to Him; Explain this parable to us."

Mattithyah 15:20, "These are the things which defile a man--but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

As Acts 10 was not about food either:

Acts 10:28, "And he said to them; You yourselves are aware how it is not Lawful for a Yahdai to associate with one of another nation, or to enter his house; but Yahweh has shown me that I must not call any man common or unclean."



*****************************************************************************************************

but the people follow after the "one in the center" and have ignore the entire Instructions and gone after a way of their own heart...

Isayah 66:17, "They who sanctify themselves*, and purify themselves in the gardens, following after the "priest in the midst" of those who eat swine's flesh, that which is offered to gods and the rodent--will be consumed together: says Yahweh."

The Hebrew text renders this phrase: following the one in the center, rather than: one behind the other, as in the King James version. This ONE in the center is an idolatrous PRIEST or PREACHER. A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament by Julius Furst, Page 1463.

For IMO, that is IMO, this verse (Isayah 66:17) is not so much about, "those who eat swine's flesh" but rather "following after the "priest in the midst" for an entire counterfeit system has been put in place...

“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act...And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons

*****************************************************************************************************


Yahshua 24:15, "But if it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve--whether the gods your fathers served on the other side of the River; Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you now live; BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE: WE WILL SERVE YAHWEH!"

Ezekiel 20:12, "Moreover, I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign* between Me and them, that they might know that *I am Yahweh Who sanctifies them."

*Sign is Word #226, Hebrew Dictionary, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, meaning mark, token, sign, consent, flag, evidence of consent.

So much for obedience to what He says being evil huh?


Daniyl 7:25, "And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out the saints of Yahweh, and think to change times and Laws..."

Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what Yahweh says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying; Yahweh has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what Yahweh says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which please Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YAHWEH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahweh, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer..."

Exactly Word_Swordsman, in two places, it shows and both contexts are the law too

Here first, when the other were trying to yoke the discples to Moses, they come together and said,

Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

Acts 15:29
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

When a question of keeping the law came in with Paul here ahain

Acts 21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
Yes, the original Messianic Jews. Apostle James and those with him of the Church at Jerusalem. I hoped the Judaizers would reply to those references, but they tend to dodge such evidences like a magician performing now u see it now u don't. Of course, being Judaizers they must avoid truth lest they abandon that deception. Satan won't have it.

Uh, show me the scriptures.
Exodus 34:26 (KJV) [SUP]26 [/SUP] The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

It was subject to interpretation, the rabbis forbidding a meal mixture of meat and milk products like cheese. From then on it was a matter of choice, meat one day, cheese the next. The idea was prohibition of mixing covenants, then taken to be avoidance of anything of idolatry.

And that is all for the Gentiles?
Yes, as concerns prohibitions observed by Jews. What had stood all along by covenant with Noah remained in force. God never has rescinded that covenant. If you live to see the day when there is no rainbow, then that covenant will have expired. It would mean the sun has ceased. The light from God will have taken over, never to be divided into a spectrum by a prism.

So, when did Judaism become God's standards? Can you show me in scripture what you have proposed here?
Judaism was God's standard only for the nation Israel in ancient times, which standard the Jews failed to meet. No such action applied to the world of Gentiles unless a Gentile joined to a household of Israel. They used that self-perverted standard to execute the Messiah Jesus. You can read back to find the many scriptures used to prove that. I will not be bogged down by such things as a convicted criminal in prison insisting he is innocent. They all do that. "I had a right to shoot my wife while in bed with her boyfriend!" To which I might reply "Well, acting upon that perceived right made you a felon, so let's get on to what's next in your life."

These were the requirements to even walk into a place of worship, if this were it, stealing would be ok....

2 peter 3:15-17, "And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability."

Ezekiyl 22:25-26, "There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her. Her priests have violated My Law, and have profaned My holy things; they have put no difference between the holy and profane, they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; they have shut their eyes to the keeping of My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them."

Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what Yahweh says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying; Yahweh has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what Yahweh says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which please Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YAHWEH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahweh, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer..."
It was the Jews of Israel that turned out far more lawless than Gentile nations. As soon as God's grace was offered to the Gentiles, they accepted that offer while Israel became the enemy of Christ. While the Jews remained in exile for their lawlessness, Gentiles began filling the Tree with wild olive branches. It is so to this day.

You are wiser than I. It's really the best way to live, yet Paul persisted to his own endangerment, contending for the faith against all the enemies of Christ. He won over some Jews, but at a heavy price of himself.

Judaisim most "holy book" is the Talmud....

the EVIL talmud says:

Talmud - Mas. Baba Metzia 59b
‘It is not in heaven.’4 What did he mean by this? — Said R. Jeremiah: That the Torah had already been given at Mount Sinai; we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice, because Thou hast long since written in the Torah at Mount Sinai, After the majority must one incline.5R. Nathan met Elijah6 and asked him: What did the Holy One, Blessed be He, do in that hour? — He laughed [with joy], he replied, saying, ‘My sons have defeated Me, My sons have defeated Me.’ It was said: On that day all objects which R. Eliezer had declared clean were brought and burnt in fire.7 Then they took a vote and excommunicated him.

Here is Messiah's reaction to a law of Judaisim:

Mattithyah 15:2-3, "Why do Your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat. But He answered, and said to them: And why do you transgress the Laws of Yahweh by your traditions?"

Well I understand then that you will not be able to read this, hopefully if you ever see and of my posts while not logged in you see this one.

When you twist Scripture, like you did concerning Acts 15, as those are the instructions for NEW convert to Messiah, as I stated if that were it, stealing would be ok... But when you twist something I have to speak up, for what if a person unlearned but zealous for Yahweh were misled by you posting?
You devilishly twist the scriptures. Both Ezekiel and Isaiah, actually all the prophets, testified against Israel, not the Gentiles. It was mostly Judah and Benjamin that had no excuse for rebellion against God. The Gentiles without the law were actually in a better position with God. That's why the Gentile nations remained in their homelands, while the Jews went into exile as slaves to Gentiles.

As Acts 10 was not about food either:

Acts 10:28, "And he said to them; You yourselves are aware how it is not Lawful for a Yahdai to associate with one of another nation, or to enter his house; but Yahweh has shown me that I must not call any man common or unclean."
That continues to demonstrate the utter futility of your position. God showed this to Peter, not a vision of Gentiles on the sheet....Acts 10:10-17 (KJV) [SUP]10 [/SUP] And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
[SUP]11 [/SUP] And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
[SUP]12 [/SUP] Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
[SUP]13 [/SUP] And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
[SUP]14 [/SUP] But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
[SUP]15 [/SUP] And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
[SUP]16 [/SUP] This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

What was cleansed had to be first unclean. God had made certain animals "unclean" to Jews, but not to Gentiles. Gentiles had no such covenant, being established under the covenant with Noah. There is no way from that vision given by God that what was required of the Jews applied to any Gentile. God called all that was on the sheet "clean" to the Christian named Peter, who's Jewish nature objected. That was obviously a dual prophetic vision applicable to Peter's present and immediate future, activating promises of God to the Gentiles concerning receiving the Holy Spirit.

As for God, the Jewish diet restrictions were turned off as easily as they were initiated.
The Gentiles were no longer to be regarded by Jews as unclean.

Seems you forgot verse 19 and 28, the Spirit spoke in 19....

Acts10:

[SUP]12 [/SUP]It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” [SUP]14 [/SUP]“Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
[SUP]15 [/SUP]The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
[SUP]16 [/SUP]This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. [SUP]18 [/SUP]They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

[SUP]17 [/SUP]While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision

He did not yet understand the meaning how could you or I know the meaning by verse 17?, the holy Spirit did not yet reveal it:


[SUP]17 [/SUP]While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision

[SUP]19 [/SUP]While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three men are looking for you.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”
[SUP]22 [/SUP]The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.
The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. [SUP]
24 [/SUP]The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. [SUP]
25 [/SUP]As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
[SUP]27 [/SUP]While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

verse 19:"the Spirit said to him, “Simon, threemen"

Remember?


[SUP]17 [/SUP]While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision
[SUP]19 [/SUP]While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three[SUP][a][/SUP] men are looking for you.


19 Now while Kepha was thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him; Behold, three men seek you.
If he did not yet know the meaning how could we?

20 Arise therefore, and go below and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.


Acts 10:28, "And he said to them; You yourselves are aware how it is not Lawful for a Yahdai to associate with one of another nation, or to enter his house; but Yahweh has shown me that I must not call any man common or unclean."


So you tell me:

You devilishly twist the scriptures.
yet the Spirit said in verse 19:"the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three menare looking for you. '

Acts 10:28, "And he said to them; You yourselves are aware how it is not Lawful for a Yahdai to associate with one of another nation, or to enter his house; but Yahweh has shown me that I must not call any man common or unclean."


The Spirit spoke, it was about, "three men" ... "but Yahweh has shown me that I must not call any man common or unclean."


But you tell me:

You devilishly twist the scriptures.
OK...

SO I agree with you when you say;
and you reply:
Is my yes a no, and my no a yes to you?

Seem no mater what I say "im bad"
I see no value in your "agreements", considering the constant refusal to talk out valid points of discussion. You "agreed" but post error on the heels of "agreement".

The prophets. Who did they mostly warn and condemn? Why use verses against Israel as against Christians? Who offended God to the point of God rejecting an entire nation of Israel tribes? Who received the offer of God's grace through Jesus in their originally intended place? So why require a Gentile from China to embrace the failed religion of Jews? It was abolished at the cross of Christ, along with your dietary law.

It is the preaching like yours that exactly matches that which Jesus and the apostles warned to avoid. Judaizers persecuted the Church for centuries. Why should anyone listen to what they insist is best for everyone else while they failed to obey it?

I am not looking for agreement here. Jesus didn't say I could expect that, but should anticipate persecution. And who supplied most of that persecution? Jews. I don't desire friendship of the world. I tend to value the brethren who are consistent with the truth of Jesus Christ and the apostles trained up by the Holy Spirit that Jesus sent.

No Christian should require knowledge of the Old Testament. Having that knowledge is wonderful, but not required to be saved. What we need from it is supplied by the authors of the New Testament, which by the way was penned in four languages. English speaking people prefer the Greek versions translated into English, so your "Hebrewism" is not impressive, but a hindrance. It isn't about language, but truth.

I've never seen so much abuse of the Old Testament on a chat site. This is a Christian discussion group, not based on Judaism, but on the New Covenant ratified in the blood of Jesus. Your dietary demands were ratified in the blood of animals. Our covenant trumps the Mosaic, being more holy. Jesus is far more holy than Moses.

Learn what the New Covenant is about. We're trying to teach you. Agree with Jesus and the apostles, let the Law be abolished. Christians already have done that, while some have betrayed Christ by being enticed by Judaizers.

That was pre-flood, for Adam. Post flood God said to Noah, from whom emerged the entire present population of earth, this...
Genesis 9:3-4 (KJV) [SUP]3 [/SUP] Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. [SUP]4 [/SUP] But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

Mattithyah 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Paul say:

Romans 13:9-10, "For the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bring false testimony, You shall not covet, and all other commandments are summed up in these Laws; namely: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

Just because you throw out a whole bunceh of false accusations does not make them true... But let me guess Im evil because I quoted the above verses..... So Mr. Word Swordsman, did you wait for the Spirit to speak in
Acts 10:19 before deciding what the vision meant?
Because Peter waited.
