For example: To wear tefillin on the head -- Deut. 6:8

Hi S.Gardner! I am leaving now and will be back only tomorrow.

This is a question, not an accusation. I am not judging you, I'm just testing your assumptions. It is a fact that Law Zealots don't even attempt to keep all of the ordinances of the law of Moses because they know nobody can do that. They themselves decided to remove some (or many) items from...

Not an iota, not a dot will pass from the Law. Who gave you permission to not obey some of the ordinances of the law of Moses?

During His walk on earth, Jesus taught obedience to the law of Moses and said not one tittle would be removed from it until ALL had been fulfilled. You claim ALL has not yet been fulfilled and therefore you believe Christians are supposed to continue keeping the law of Moses. But if ALL has not...

Yes, I believe animal sacrifice persisted for decades after the cross because neither the pre-cross Jesus nor the resurrected Christ (before being taken up to heaven) ever told the disciples to stop keeping the Law. It took a long time for all Christians to learn about salvation by grace.

That's right! The sacrifice on the cross had already taken place, but it was not yet time to preach salvation by grace through faith apart from the Law. That's why the Lord told His disciples to teach ALL nations to observe ALL His teachings (Old Covenant teachings).

The apostle Paul was Christ's spokesman and was used by the Lord to teach us salvation by grace through faith, apart from the Law. Romans 6:14 (NIV) For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

If you attempt to (really) keep the law of Moses today you'll have trouble in many countries because they will not allow you to sacrifice animals, put adulterers to death, etc. As for Christians, what country will prohibit you from loving your neighbor as yourself, from being honest, from being...

Greetings, S.Gardner! The risen Jesus' words did abolish the Law.

This is one of the best arguments against my point. When I was first confronted with it I told myself: "my opponents are right". But then I said: "wait a moment! How can we teach Gentiles to obey the scribes and the Pharisees?" The transition from Old Covenant to New Covenant didn't happen...

In the New Covenant yes, but during His walk on earth Jesus preached a different message to the Jews.

Jesus didn't say TEACHINGS, He said WORDS (LOGOI, the plural of LOGOS).

My view is just the opposite of yours: the words of the risen Christ supersede those of the physical Jesus.

Well, I think both of us are seeking the truth with sincerity. It is to my own interest to keep Christ's words, but only those that are still effective. The earthly Jesus taught obedience to the scribes and the Pharisees, told the disciples to sell their possessions and give alms, .... well...

Sorry, but I have to log off now and will be back only tomorrow.

The law of Moses was made for use within the only true theocracy that ever existed. If it is fully applied elsewhere it will conflict with local laws. For example: What country today would permit the killing of adulterers? Only a few Islamic countries, maybe. No, I'm not inferring that the laws...

I am not defying anyone to prove me wrong; read again what I wrote. I see you guys don't keep a big portion of the law of God given to the Hebrews through Moses, but don't worry; God will not punish you for that. Not even religious Jews today keep the Mosaic Law because it was made for a...

Thank God you are honest -- you could very well lie and say "yes, I eat my meals in a Sukkah". The purpose of this thread is to test my interpretation of the differences between Jesus and Paul. I believe that before the cross the Lord Jesus expounded the law of God given to the Hebrews through...

Do you eat your meals in a Sukkah during the seven days of Sukkot?
