maybe you can change how you count and come up with 550, or 650. we're not doing numerology here. it's moot with regard to what i'm asking you. let it be 'n' for now.

the question is simple; i haven't changed questions, and i'm asking you a third time:




are all of the commandments in the Law from God or from man?
Jesus, before becoming a man, created man, and created instructions for man.

The law is in force till heaven and earth are no more according to Jesus. Explain how your post fits with this quote from Jesus. Keep in mind that sin is transgression of the law. Our sins are imputed to Jesus when we accept Him as our savior. He paid the penalty by being the unblemished Lamb of God.

Matthew 5:13 to 20 NIV
Jesus saying he came to fulfill the law and the prophets.

Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
I'm not sure what post you are referring to that you believe goes against these words.

You stated that the law would be terminated by Jesus. Jesus stated that the law is forever in my quote. That is the big point of disagreement.

Is the Law, all the commandments written in the posts now several pages back, from God or from man?

Then you dont beleive the Scriptures:

The 7,000 Year Plan of YHWH; from Adam to Yahshua/Jesus was a total of 4,000 years Below is the Biblical chronology of this:


From Adam to Abraham:

Nahor to Terah 29 years (Genesis 11:24)
Terah to Abraham 70 years (Genesis 11:26)
So Adam to Abraham is 1948 years (This same genealogy is in Luke 3:34-38)


From Abraham to Egypt:
Abraham to Isaac 100 years (Genesis 21:5)
Isaac to Jacob 60 years (Genesis 25:26)

Jacob and his family went to Egypt
Jacob went to Egypt (Genesis 46:8,11)
Levi went to Egypt (Jacob's son) (Genesis 46:8,11)
Kohath went to Egypt (Levi's son) (Genesis 46:8,11)
Kohath had a son named Amram (Exodus 6:18)
Amram had a son named Moses (Exodus 6:20)
Moses to the Exodus 80 years (Exodus 7:7, Acts 7:21-23, 29-30)
From Egypt to Exodus: X = (Kohath to Amram to Moses + 80)
In Wilderness 40 years (Numbers 32:13,
Wilderness to death Joshua 30 years (Joshua 14:7,10, 24:29)
Exodus to death Joshua is 70 years

The Period of Judges:
Under King Cushanrishathaim 8 years (Judges 3:8)

Under Tola 23 years (Judges 10:1-2)
Under Jair 22 years (Judges 10:3)
Under Ammonites 18 years (Judges 10:5-8)
Under Jephthah 6 years (Judges 12:7)

Under Eli/Samuel 40 years (I Samuel 4:15,18, 7:15, 8:1,4-7,19-22, 9:1-2)
So Judges to Samuel is 450 years (Acts 13:20)

The Period of the kings of Judah:
Under King Saul 40 years (Acts 13:21)
Under King David 40 years (I Chron 29:26-27)
Under King Solomon 40 years (I Kings 11:42-43)

Under King Jehoiakim 11 years (II Chron 36:3-7)
Under King Jehoiachin 3 mon (II Chron 36:9)
Under King Zedekiah 11 years (II Chron 36:11-21)
So the period of the kings of Judah are 513 years

SUMMARY OF THE TIME FROM ADAM TO YAHSHUA
Adam to Abraham 1948 years
Abraham to Egypt 290 years
From Egypt to Moses: (X=Kohath to Amram to Moses) X = 63 years
Moses to the Exodus 80 years
Exodus to death Joshua 70 years
Judges to Samuel 450 years (Acts 13:20)
Kings of Judah 513 years
Babylonian Captivity 586 BCE
So from Adam to Yahshua is 4000 years

Adam to Yahshua is 4000 years + 2017 years since Yahshua, this puts us at 6017 years since the creation of Earth. Yet how are we not currently in the “Messianic Millennium” of what the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] day/Sabbath represents?


2Peter/Kepha 3:8, “But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”


Hosheyah 6:1-3, “Come, and let us turn back to יהוה. For He has torn but He does heal us, He has stricken but He binds us up. After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up, so that we live before Him. So let us know, let us pursue to know יהוה. His going forth is as certain as the morning. And He comes to us like the rain, like the latter rain watering the earth.”


After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up


Rev 20:4-6, "And I saw thrones – and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them – and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to יהושע and because of the Word of יהוה, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years and the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended) – this is the first resurrection. Blessed and set-apart is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of יהוה and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years."


It has been “2 days” or 2,000 years since Messiah Yahshua came as a Lamb, Scripture says in “the third day He shall raise us up” So then why has Yahshua not already returned? The time/fullness of the Gentiles and the revealing of the man of sin has not yet been completed, thus things are being held back:


Romans 11:24-25, “For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not wish you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’yl, until the completeness of the Gentiles has come in.”


Genesis 48:17-20, “And when Yosĕph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephrayim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from the head of Ephrayim to the head of Menashsheh. And Yosĕph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the first-born, put your right hand on his head.”" But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also becomes a people, and he also is great. And yet, his younger brother is greater than he, and his seed is to become the completeness of the nations.” And he blessed them on that day, saying, “In you Yisra’yl shall bless, saying, ‘The Mighty One make you as Ephrayim and as Menashsheh!” Thus he put Ephrayim before Menashsheh.”
Then you dont beleive the Scriptures: on what authority?

[FONT=times\ new\ roman]From Egypt to Moses: (X=Kohath to Amram to Moses) X = 63 years[/FONT]
Moses to the Exodus 80 years

Gen 15:13
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
KJV

Ex 12:40-41
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
KJV

From Gen 15:13 and Ex12 40-41 We see that from the time of Joseph's regency to the end of the Hyskos Dynasty was only 30 years that still leaves 360 years of afliction in Egypt. How do you suppose that the number of descendants of Jacob went from 70 to well over a milliion in 143 years.

When Israel entered Egypt The total number of people with him was 70. This included his 2 wives and 4 concubines, 9 of his sons (Joseph was there already), The sons’ wives, and his grandchildren who were born before they went to Egypt. In Numbers chapter 1, we learn that the number of males of fighting age excluding the Levites was 603,550. If the Levites were as prolific as their brethren there should have been at least 40,000 more the same age. If only one third of the males were too young or too old to fight, the number of males who left Egypt were at least 965,325. If the females were half the population (We know they were at least that because male children were killed and females kept alive during part of their stay.) Then the number of people leaving Egypt were at least 1,930,650, and probably more than 2 million. To have these numbers the men would have had to father an average of 40 children each. These numbers make the notion of more than 100 years per generation seem much more reasonable than they might otherwise seem to people of our culture.

As usual, your opinions and Scriptural facts are at variance!

I, for one, am not under the law, for I am in Christ.

The whole law hangs upon the first two commandments.
That ought to tell you something.

I'm glad you feel that way, However that in no way discredits the law, If you have gotten rid of sin in your life, hey your free from the law, infact your doing better then Paul according to him he's the chief of sinners..

1 Timothy 1: 14And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.



However for me, I am still a sinner also, and I need Jesus, and I need the law to show me I'm sinning against the person I claim to Love..


1 Timothy 1

8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

We all have things were still struggling with, or maybe not, Maybe you are made perfect in Christ, However we don't know and that's up to Christ to decide, Until then we Believe that he's purged us of sin once we've asked him too, and we confess it, and then we can be made whole, The law is no longer in effect, the curse of the law is no longer binding, were not sinners anymore, God has forgave us, now if we break it again, were back under the law, unless you believed once Saved always saved, But that can't be otherwise Saul shouldn't have ever sinned against God or God shouldn't have left him, because it says Saul.



1 Samuel 10

9And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: (So he was converted) and all those signs came to pass that day. 10And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 11And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? 12And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place

Saul prophesied, Knowing all the things we know will transpire to him in the future, it's hard to believe at one time he was chosen of God, and God even gave him a knew heart as He said he'd do for us.

Ezekiel 36:26

So I went on a whole other subject there, but basically saved always saved thrown out the window, So it's possible to come back under the law if we sin, We may come to God, and be forgiven completely, but we can always reject him again, it's just that easy unless we grow to Love him and his Son who died for us, So that means we need the law more then ever.

Death, is the Curse of the law, And the definition of sin is....

14Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Romans 6

20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.



Way should we reject it? when the only way we know were commiting sin, is through God's word, and his law.
His Love is the most important part, But his Love only makes us change, But without his law we don't know we even need too.

His Love is the most important part, But his Love only makes us change, But without his law we don't know we even need too.


Until were sure we've gotten all sin out of our life, and we've asked our brethren and sisters forgiveness of the things we may have done to them, Then we need the law, it's just how it is, Now if you tell me your free of Sin, Jesus and John already had answer to that....

John 15:22

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

1 John 1

8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us


Sooo yeah, The definition of Sin is transgression of His Law

1 John 3


4Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.


So if you say "I'm not under the law" Then you also say "I'm no longer sinning" and by God's grace that may be true, I'm happy for you and I pray I reach that point myself, still praying fasting, and committing myself to God daily,

1 Corinthians 15

31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily
.

Dying to self, Dying to Hatred, pride, Envy, Lust, and every sins under the Sun, Gotta do it,
So by God's grace let's make it together..


Godbless.

Yes the SDA does make then own regulations.

However no humans made this:

Genesis 2:1-3, “Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their array. And in the seventh day the Mighty One completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And the Mighty One blessed the seventh day and set it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which the Mighty One in creating had made.”


Exodus 20:8-11, “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart." Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה your Strength. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.”

For gentile an Hebrew alike:


Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what YHWH 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 YHWH, speak, saying; YHWH has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what YHWH 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: YHWH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, 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..."


1. So you admit that SDA make new regulation, or SDA sabbath is man Made law.

2. You quote some verses that convert gentile and jew are alike, why SDA sabbath law not alike Jews law?

Hmmm inconsistancy.
1. I said what I said, the SDAs just like every other denomanation make some of their own ordinances. The 7th day Sabbath they did not make....

2. You would have to ask an SDA I dont really care what they teach or do.

What is your obsession with SDAs? I am not nor have ever been one, is it that if you can find lies committed by SDAs you can trash YHWH"s Sabbath in your mind?

SDA matter as much as every other denomanation, not at all. What matters is what YHWH says.

In Numbers chapter 1, we learn that the number of males of fighting age excluding the Levites was 603,550. If the Levites were as prolific as their brethren there should have been at least 40,000 more the same age. If only one third of the males were too young or too old to fight, the number of males who left Egypt were at least 965,325. If the females were half the population (We know they were at least that because male children were killed and females kept alive during part of their stay.) Then the number of people leaving Egypt were at least 1,930,650, and probably more than 2 million. To have these numbers the men would have had to father an average of 40 children each. These numbers make the notion of more than 100 years per generation seem much more reasonable than they might otherwise seem to people of our culture.

As usual, your opinions and Scriptural facts are at variance!
A little overzealous there... I said "Moses to the Exodus"

not the exodus latsted X number of years...

The Law made us self righteous, so that prostitutes and sinners entered in before us. Had to become a sinner all over again like the prodigal son, in order to have compassion on sinners and not condemn myself.

By the cross of Christ, we are above law; by Grace of God, "Sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under Grace. To be above the law, to seek first the Kingdom of God, not about honoring a day above another but to continue to appear before God. "Daily pick up your cross and follow me."

1. I said what I said, the SDAs just like every other denomanation make some of their own ordinances. The 7th day Sabbath they did not make....

2. You would have to ask an SDA I dont really care what they teach or do.

What is your obsession with SDAs? I am not nor have ever been one, is it that if you can find lies committed by SDAs you can trash YHWH"s Sabbath in your mind?

SDA matter as much as every other denomanation, not at all. What matters is what YHWH says.
how about yourself,

you know God prohibit kindle fire oN sabbath. Do you kindle fire oN sabbath?

Jackson123,
re: "Do you kindle fire oN sabbath?"

If he does, how would that affect the Sabbath commandment?

No he has. And it was answered when you posted this

  1. To know that G-d exists (Ex. 20:2; Deut. 5:6) (CCA1). See What Do Jews Believe?.
That is a misinterpretation of what GOD ordained as LAW. The Commandment from GOD is, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
Verse 2 is an indicative expression, not a LAW to be obeyed. Notice nothing is being commanded. "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
(Exo 20:2-3 KJV)

The 613 mitzvah are an interpretation of what is Written. Some of them are GOD ordained laws, some are not.

They are a summary from a group of men not GOD.

That is just one; shall we continue through all the 613?

You stated that the law would be terminated by Jesus. Jesus stated that the law is forever in my quote. That is the big point of disagreement.
I never said the "LAW" was terminated by Jesus, I said the Levitical Priesthood was "Changed" by Jesus.

If you can find different, please show me the post.

I already answered. I'm not interested in playing your deceptive games.
you mean games like cross-referencing Scripture with the 613 laws? you said I gave you a good laugh a few days ago, now you gave me one.

guess some people can't just admit that they were proven wrong.

Sorry good boy 9,

I probably spoke to fast for you to comprehend. Let me try again.

I'll use an analogy you should be able to understand.

If the speed limit is 55. That is the commandment. Now if I continue to explain.

Men shall drive only 55 and women shall drive only 55., Old men with grey hair shall drive only 55. black men with a walking cane shall drive 55. If you are Spanish speaking, you shall drive only 55. Women who are pregnant shall drive 55. Boys 16 years old shall drive 55, teenage girls 16 years old and older shall drive 55.

The truth is, there is only one Law here.

But you deceivers, in an attempt to prove the law unjust, try to claim there are 11 laws here. That is what you and PH are doing.

You are just sore because I exposed your religious doctrine as not from God,************* again.
