Read again: 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things...

You didn't answer my question: Do you go to a synagogue to learn how to keep the law of Moses. And remember: the rabbi has to be a Pharisee, not Sadducee, Essene or whatever else.

No, but the Lord Jesus said before His death on the cross: "It is finished", and besides we have to give ears to the apostle Paul.

I will never! :cool:

No, this is not sarcasm, this is what law keepers in general think about Paul. Since it is impossible to reconcile Paul with Jesus (the risen Christ with the earthly Jesus) they tend to minimize the importance of the apostle.

Take note of the quotation marks. lol

The N. T. was not yet formed, but there was oral transmission. Let's read Acts 15 again: 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things...

Here is what the Lord Jesus said: So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else. The Lord told the disciples to obey EVERYTHING THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES TEACH, and the only restriction was: DON'T DO WHAT THEY DO. So, in...

No, it's so hard to understand that even Paul "misunderstood" it. The apostle did not "understand" that the Law would last forever and that he was supposed to teach Gentiles to keep all of the Torah.

And ....? What's your point?

It's not necessary to mention adultery, fornication, backbiting, theft, etc because teachings regarding such sins are already part of the New Testament doctrine.

I don't think it is a good idea to follow people who rejected the Messiah.

"Until all is fulfilled" is hard to understand, that's why I follow Paul. He was our apostle and everything he wrote applies to us (the Gentiles). Paul tells us numerous times not to keep the Law of Moses and this is enough for me. Or should I disregard him?

Not one jot or tittle will pass from the Law until ALL is fulfilled. Law keepers don't keep the whole Law -- they keep only part of it -- and this is strong evidence that ALL has already been fulfilled and therefore we are no longer under the Law. When I mentioned what Jesus said before the...

Your reasoning is good: why would Jesus teach something that would not last long? This is an important question to which there is no conclusive answer. The Lord Jesus taught obedience to the Law of Moses and kept it as nobody had kept before, but in the end He nailed it to the cross. After the...

Welcome to Christian Chat, FS! Correct, but we often forget that after the resurrection Jesus used Paul to speak to us. Galatians 1:11 11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it...

Let's read it: Galatians 2:16 (NIV) know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will...

Lord, help us all not to worry!:p The best I can do is to keep myself from being a toxic worrier, but Jesus was not talking about chronic worry; He was telling us not to worry at all. 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the...

As a new believer, in 1986, I was not absolutely sure if my denomination was preaching the true Gospel and I thought it would be nice to hear the opinion of experts in the field. Back then there was no Google so I went to the Christian Research Institute in downtown São Paulo. When I told the...

Job 41:1 (NASB) Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
