I see no issue with buildings as long as there is a vision for them. There are many benefits to having a central building where a lot of ministry opportunities happen. There is a central place where pastors, leaders and ministers can be to work together for the Kingdom. It also provides a...

Yet our Messiah says otherwise. Matthew 5:17-19 17“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18“For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is...

I don't believe He has nullified them. If God created unclean animals unfit for eating, they always will be.

I think obedience to God's instructions are very important, whether in the Old Testament or New. Does obedience to those thing impact my salvation? No. But walking within God's blessing brings a natural blessing in itself.

I do keep the feasts as best as I can. (No physical sacrifices needed today. Jesus became that sacrifice.) Our church spends 8 days camping at our church property in tents, campers, RV's etc. The instruction regarding Tabernacles refers to temporary dwellings. My wife and I spent 1 year in a...

Nope. The Believer is the living temple in which God dwells today. And as Jesus is the High Priest, it's His job to administer whatever discipline He sees fit.

I do. Not for the purposes of salvation, but to walk in grateful obedience to the God who saved me. And that's aside from the health benefits that come with it. Turns out, God knew what He was doing when came up with the dietary laws.

It's important to consider which perspective of the law disappearing we're talking about. If by the law you mean the law of sin and death which results in eternal separation because of disobedience, that has expired. But if by the law we mean instructions on how to live, that doesn't disappear...

Matthew 7:15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

So which Jesus should we believe? The one who says the Law should be taught until heaven and earth pass away? Or your version of Luke 16:16? Other versions of that verse say that the Law and Prophets were proclaimed until John. And keep in mind, Jesus was saying to the Pharisees who were trying...

So does this mean that commiting physical adultery is ok, since the higher law of lust and mental adultery overrules the literal law? Instead, maybe we should still follow the literal law in addition to Jesus' expansion of it.

Absolutely. That's what I meant when I said a "greather and deeper understanding of Torah."

Matthew 5:17-19 "17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then annuls one...

I'm still waiting for the verses where God (or Jesus for that matter) says to take pagan worship days and try to redeem them for Him, knowing full well they're not even the correct dates of the events which we're celebrating.

He lived according to the physical Torah, but also a greather and deeper understanding of Torah. Both are possible and encouraged with the Holy Spirit's guidance.

Maybe, you never know. But, definitely this.

Matthew 7:11 (NASB) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

I once was a Gentile, but am not anymore. I am grafted into Israel.

I've never given much thought to the specific instruction of "kill and eat" as it pertains to the Gentiles. Maybe something along the lines of devouring or feeling superior to those man might have deemed unclean? (Just spit-ballin' here.) I've always paused and examined the parallel of...

Man-made laws are different than the dietary laws God gave to His people. Those are the laws and the "parable" I believe God was using with Peter. Man created certain restrictions on people-group they believed were clean or unclean, and that's what God was trying to undo through Peter's vision...
