“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." I know Jesus brought "The Law" from a physical realm to a spiritual realm, but even that is in the "Old" Testament. "You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it...

My point is, and I believe it critical; if we divide God's word in two and then reject half as "Old" and only preach what is "New"' we miss seeing the full truth. Even worse, there is a risk, especially for new believers, to fall into false worship. I see and hear evidence of that every day...

Nehemiah 9:20 “You (YHWH) gave your good spirit to instruct them” This passage is a prayer of those who returned from exile. As they struggled to rebuild the Temple and God’s earthly city, they recalled the gifts God provides to his people. John 14:26 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom...

Welcome to CC Dr3amer. That was quite an impressive introduction and I enjoyed the Ink Spots video. You made your missing part crystal clear. I have not experienced your pain. I can only imagine the difficulty of wanting, yet not finding that partner to share your journey. I have read of...

I don't think you can denigrate the accomplishments of many with the degeneracy of a few, but they will indeed try. Looking at the accomplishments of those who truly believe God's word and put their beliefs into action is absolutely impressive. More often than not this came despite opposition...

There are some really questionable translations of this passage. This is the one I find most closely represents the original Greek which implies someone who continues to crucify Christ. V6 ...and then have fallen away — it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long...

I have no conflict with anything you have posted.

Welcome back LenMcM. As another who is also a 24/7, I can relate to your experience. I admit to be a little conflicted with the last line of your post. Was not Yeshua identifying himself as the person they were pursuing? I will not go any farther than that as I know what will result from...

First, gracious "Thank You" for the comments and responses. I have read them all, as best I could, and appreciate the chance to learn and grow; and I did both. The OP was really ment to initiate a discussion about the relative importance of the "First Testament" with the "Second Testament"...

Thank you for the response, I am considering your words.

OK, someone please explain to me (respectfully) how we can no longer be "under the law"? God gave his laws directly to all his assembled people from atop a mountain in thunder, smoke and lightning. The law was given from his mouth to all his peoples ears; the only time he has spoken directly to...

In the First Testament, the sacrifice of animals was never intended as a means of salvation. Instead, there is a process established. First, the sinner must be aware of the sin. Without awareness salvation is impossible. God alone gives this awareness, and he gives it to whom he will. This...

With all due respect, I never indicated that the Second Testament was in any way negated. Also, your response is why I avoid direct Bible quotes to justify my statements. I believe you can justify anything by using selective quotes. Your eye-for-eye comments for example, was not a commandment...

I agree with everything you have said. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider. But I must note with all respect, that everything you have posted comes from the "Second" Testament with no reference to the "First" . Yet everything referenced was announced "First". Yeshua himself...

One of the greatest and most successful accomplishments of the Prince of Lies has been to successfully cleave God’s word into two separate halves. No other accomplishment of his has yielded so vast a harvest or produced so ripe a fruit. On one hand, the very real revelation of God’s laws and...

I am curious about something.... What do you think about Yeshua ? Not the obvious stuff like was he the Messiah, but a little deeper. I assume you would deny his resurrection? How would you account for his teachings, were they inspired? What about his claim to be the son of God, was he...

I have found the Talmud to be a tremendous resource to my faith. The Talmud stands as the historical record of the Jewish peoples struggle to better understand and apply God's word to their lives. To better understand faith, justice, fairness, charity, love. I just finished reading an...

Some Christians are trying to return to a more authentic Torah based worship. They reject the human traditions that have become so central to the denominational churches. Many attempt to follow Torah, not for salvation but to improve their relationship with their Creator. I think it varies...

Aviva; if any of my questions make you the least bit uncomfortable feel free to ignore them. #1. What is the relationship between Orthodox Jews and Messianic Jews. How do they relate to each other and is the Messianic movement growing as some would have us believe? #2. What do Orthodox...

How strongly do the Israeli people support rebuilding the temple? Do Orthodox Jews fully support the rebuilding or are there diverse opinions? Do you believe the current war will lead to an increased effort to rebuild?
