What is the beauty of this? Today....there are more converts to Judaism from Christianity, than any time ever in history and x 100 in the last 10 years. Why? Because of Jewish souls within Gentiles (just like the righteous Egyptians who joined Israel in the Exodus) are being rectified. How? Through the Kosher understanding of Yeshua. It is true, many converts "verbally" express denial in the "unkosher jesus" but in truth, they cannot deny that it is Yeshua's Spirit that caused them to drive to Judaism.
c) But eh, just ask Paul, he is the one who said to the Jew 1st...tell me why he said such words?
No need to ask Paul all that is needed is recorded. Before his born again conversion he did not have the Spirit of Christ. He followed a law of the fathers as a false zeal for knowing God.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Because the unconverted Jew who walked by sight after the Jewish flesh hoping it could profit for something...….. they murdered the misperceived competition as in out of sight out of mind . They constantly challenged all things written in the law and the prophets(sola scriptura) They again and again tried to make it (sola scriptura) to no effect with oral traditions as a law of the fathers. A law of men that they held above our father in heaven. The spiritual unseen law of faith . We walk or understand the things not seen by our new faith we are freely given . Not of our own selves after the imaginations of ones mind. We are, I believe to have the mind of Christ and not that of men as the wisdom of men. But how can we hear God and not men would seem to be the quest we all face? How do we seek His approval of one not seen ? Can we go above that which is written by venerating men seen as did Saul before his conversion ?
Saul like all who walk by sight followed a
law of men that they called
the law of the fathers. By seeking after the High Priest seen
they called that manner
law of the fathers they thought was perfect law. The
law of the fathers, provided a false zealously toward God. They were trusting the things seen as if the Kingdom of God is of this world .Something the apostate Jew turned upside down, again and a again and therefore in the end it takes away the understanding of the person's approval we are to seek after according to his loving commandment.
Study, divide...……. seek my approval .What a beautiful commandment .
Acts 22:1-4 King James Version (KJV) Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the
"law of the fathers", and was
zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. And I persecuted
this way unto the
death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
That turned out to be false zealously. Being zealous for the things seen (themselves ) and not God not seen.
We can see by the use of the phrase
"law of the fathers" it speaks of the things of men seen the temporal
a false zeal for knowing God not seen . That law of the fathers apposes the law of God our father in heaven. The law of faith.
Changing his denomination, from the Pharisees with Sadducees to the Nazarene denomination Paul was now under attack by
the law of the fathers (laws of men) . there goal was to make Paul out of sight as in out of mind as the unregenerate (no faith)
Acts 24:4-7 (KJV)Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words. For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took,
and would have judged according to our law. But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
Their law of what they call
law of fathers and not the true law of
our father in heaven .
His law that requires faith . He commands us to call no man father on earth for he is the one spiritual father of all spirits not seen .
Again they tried to accuse Paul of violating their law a oral traditions of men . Paul in effect informed them that he was trusting sola scriptura (all things written in the law and the prophets ). They accused sola scriptura was heresy. Paul replied to them "worship I the
God of my
fathers," they were saying "worship I the
God as my
fathers," A law of men seen .They continued to call men on earth fathers as a law of men. turning things upside down taking away the understanding of scripture alone. No laws of men (
Isaiah 29:16)
Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which
they call heresy, so "worship I the
God of my
fathers," believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
d) Jews keep track of their lineage like a fat kid knows where his cake is. Want proof? Just look at the track record Matthew or John kept of Yeshua. It goes to show how precious Jews hold their lineage, more than any "outside" science could ever prove. Why? Because what G-d commands trumps all!
If you can answer these questions, I'll gladly accept your comment. If not, you should probably rethink what you stated and know that it is a lie.
What would be the purpose for keeping their lineage today.? Are they hoping Christ will come in the flesh for another outward demonstration of the lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world? How many demonstrations are needed ?
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we
have known Christ
after the flesh, yet
now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.2 Corinthians 5:16-17
