The Jewish people are to follow the 613 commandments. Gentiles are to follow the 7 Noahide laws. It's that simple.

Show us where in scripture you base your facts on?
 Quoting: Achduke7


Jesus: DO NOT FOLLOW THE PHARISEES !

There is only one Law fore everybody in the whole Bible.

I want to be good. I love Him.
But I want a straight answer, not moral relativism.
Must I follow the laws of the Old Testament? Or do we Christians get to pick and choose what we want to follow?

All I want is clarity not confusion.

Yes or no?
 Quoting: quizpaids


No man will be saved by his performance at "keeping" the law.

Not even ONE.

Faith in Christ is what accounts a man righteous.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78135120


Can you support that claim with scripture that is NOT from Paul.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78151942


you are False Flagging as an Indian, but only Americans are prone to these bizarre anti-Christian, anti-Pauline Hebraizing heresies ...


the HISTORICAL AND THEOLOGICAL TRUTH IS THAT YOU CANNOT TAKE OUT PAUL FROM THE SCRIPTURE AND PRETEND WHAT'S LEFT IS CHRISTIAN!

ASk a priest from reputable church or denomination (like Catholic, mainstream Protestant, Orthodox) don't read the net hoaxes and don't try to "do your own research" ...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75371558


What does my nationality have to do with anything?

I don't need to be American to be able to see the paul taught many things that contradict the words of God, jesus and the prophets.

Do you believe everyone who claims to have seen a vision of Jesus?

IS there somewhere in the Gospels something like Jesus saying:

"You are now reading the Gospel of Mark, you should also read John, Luke and Matthew ... but ditch the letters of Paul, they're BS ... read Enoch instead!"

Old Testsment for the tribe

New testament for those of Jesus Christ
 Quoting: Theobromine The Deplorable


Christians cannot follow all of Levitical law and stay Christians.

They would naturally become judeochristians.

The old testament laws declare a state of war against anyone and everyone else.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76626437


Christian means elect or annointed. A follower of Christ. It is not a religion. During Paul's time they called themselves the "way or path". Jesus said he is the way. The levitical laws cannot be followed without a priesthood even by Israel.
 Quoting: Achduke7


Yeshua is our High Priest...

Heb 4:14
(14)  Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession.

The "Levitical laws" are the Torah and Yeshua is the walking, talking Torah as this verse "loop" proves.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. 

Joh 14:6
(6)  Yeshua said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Psa 119:142
(142)  Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.

Psa 119:160
(160)  The sum of Your word is truth, And all Your righteous right-rulings are forever.


We are instructed to follow Him. What does follow actually mean?

G190
ak-ol-oo-theh'-o
From G1 (as a particle of union) and; keleuthos (a road); properly to be in the same way with, that is, to accompany (specifically as a disciple): - follow, reach.

What's a disciple?

mathetes
math-ay-tes'
From G3129; a learner, that is, pupil: - disciple.

limmud    limmud
lim-mood', lim-mood'
From H3925; instructed: - accustomed, disciple, learned, taught, used.

Mat 10:24
(24)  “A taught one is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.


Do you honestly believe that Yeshua lived and taught a perfect life; meaning following the Law completely, to do away with the Law completely?

And when you fulfill something, its over.

When you fulfill a debt, how much more do you have to pay?

Its word games.

To follow old testament law and example makes you a criminal by any definition.
TO follow that means leaving death and destruction in you wake by following the example repeated over and over without variation.

To follow new testament law the above is impossible to do.

One set of laws turns you into a covetous animal with blood on your hands.

The other does not.

YET most of you wont agree, for you want the same entitlement to judge others harshly as did the originals that killed Jesus because his law was not to judge and punish others since there can be no legitimate blameless judges among men, especially men who seek power over others.

It was plainly demonstrated that the apostles who were with jesus still made mistakes in judgment and in faith.

Being an apostle is not a mark of perfection.

Whatever the apostles did on their own is not Christianity.

Whatever someone who was a hebrew advocate and persecuted christians as the enemy is hardly to be believed, especially when his opinions contradict what Jesus said and did.

My opinion is that Paul is the Lindsey Graham to Christianity and cannot be trusted.
Hes essentially a hustler showboating himself in a christianity he doesnt believe and is trying to put it back into an old testament box where is doesnt fit.

Re: Does Jesus want me to follow the laws of the Old Testament? Yes or no?
The notion that Jesus did away with the Law is a total misunderstanding of scripture as verses from the New Testament are "cherry-picked" to support the doctrine.

Jesus and the Apostles followed the 10 C's and ALSO observed the feasts etc...

At the same time though, Noahide Laws are not in the Bible - they are a supposed tradition as told in the Talmud.

All that said, the 10 Commandments and the other 603 laws given in the Torah have nothing to do with Salvation. Salvation has ALWAYS been about God's grace (forgiveness) given to us through Faith and Repentence.

Proof?

Abraham sinned - and yet Jesus mentions that he & Lazarus are on the other side of the "divide", away from the "rich man". Abraham's Faith was counted as righteousness.

Moses sinned - and yet we see him at Jesus' Transfiguration.

This is 19 mins - and a fairly decent explanation.

It be extremely easy to prove Paul was a false apostle.

Thread: Paul presents himself as an apostle to Ephesus and is rejected. Ephesus is commended by Jesus for rejecting false apostles.


1. Paul writes to the church of Ephesus, in biblical Asia claiming to be an apostle of Jesus. See Ephesians 1:1.

2. Later Paul laments that he was abandoned by all of biblical Asia, Ephesus included. See 1Timothy 1:15.

3. In revelation, Jesus speaks to the 7 churches in Asia. And he does not rebuke them for rejecting the self proclaimed apostle, Paul.

4. He commends the church of Ephesus -- that Paul tried to witness to -- for testing and rejecting false prophets.

Yes or no?
 Quoting: quizpaids


As Jesus stated, He fulfilled all of the OT laws with His arrival, death, and resurrection.

So, no, you absolutely do not have to follow OT laws.

There is a messianic movement right now which is trying to convince Christians that they must adhere to Noetic Law.

This is antichrist.

It seeks to erase what Jesus did.

Meanwhile, Jesus did reinforce 9 or the 10 Commandments. Not only did he reinforce them, he upped the spiritual ante.

For example, Jesus said that to look at a woman with lust is committing adultery in your heart; to hate someone is to commit murder in your heart: etc. He took outward sins, actions, and moved them inward, to where they begin, in the spirit.

The only commandment Jesus did not reinforce is the Sabbath, because He became the Sabbath.

We are to walk after and rest in Christ every moment, not just one day a week.

Again, you can see the ante being upped again here.

So, if any Noetic law-pushing "Christian" tries to imprison you back into the old law, tell them they do not at all understand why Jesus came, or what He did.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77837750

Also, one cannot go "back into the old law" if one has never been "into" it.

This is precisely what I am warning against.

The bible does warn of teaching others to break the COMMANDMENTS, not the laws which were given to the j-ws for a given time and place.

No man can save himself by adhering to thwe laws. Salvation comes solely by God's grace, through Jesus.

Again, Jesus stressed the importance of 9 of the ten commandments, and He became the 10th, the Sabbath.

Why do you think both Jesus and the disciples were constantly under threat of prosecution throughout the NT for breaking the Sabbath? Jesus was constantly ignoring it.

He told them why...He came to FULFILL the law. He was and is the Sabbath we must follow, every day.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77837750


Can you please point to the Scripture where He does this?

He was continually challenging them regarding their Talmud.

Mat 15:2-3
(2)  “Why do Your taught ones transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
(3)  But He answering, said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of Elohim because of your tradition?

Re: Does Jesus want me to follow the laws of the Old Testament? Yes or no?
The notion that Jesus did away with the Law is a total misunderstanding of scripture as verses from the New Testament are "cherry-picked" to support the doctrine.

Jesus and the Apostles followed the 10 C's and ALSO observed the feasts etc...

At the same time though, Noahide Laws are not in the Bible - they are a supposed tradition as told in the Talmud.

All that said, the 10 Commandments and the other 603 laws given in the Torah have nothing to do with Salvation. Salvation has ALWAYS been about God's grace (forgiveness) given to us through Faith and Repentence.

Proof?

Abraham sinned - and yet Jesus mentions that he & Lazarus are on the other side of the "divide", away from the "rich man". Abraham's Faith was counted as righteousness.

Moses sinned - and yet we see him at Jesus' Transfiguration.

This is 19 mins - and a fairly decent explanation.

What exactly is grace? This teaching examines each and every Scripture that speaks of grace.


[link to youtu.be (secure)]
 Quoting: Schmoopee


Grace, in so many words is simply forgiveness, something not found in the old testament or any of its so called laws.
The theme of forgiveness doesnt exist in the old testament, at least not for gentiles, even those too young to have done anything wrong.
The OT is about claims of group benefits and group liabilities.
The NT is about individual behaviors and individual motivations and deeds.

They are not the same thing, they are, in effect total opposites and cannot be merged with any logic or sincerity
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76626437


First off the Covenant is for anyone choosing to Covenant. Remember it was not only Israel coming out of Egypt. It was a mixed multitude.

Exo 19:5
(5)  ‘And now, if you diligently obey My voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession above all the peoples – for all the earth is Mine –


Grace means favour.

cheen
khane
From H2603; graciousness, that is, subjectively (kindness, favor) or objectively (beauty): - favour, grace (-ious), pleasant, precious, [well-] favoured.

And to say grace is not found in the Tanach is disingenuous.

From TS2009 (my preference):
Gen 6:8
(8)  But Noah found favour in the eyes of YHWH.


From KJV:
Gen 6:8
(8)  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.


Please listen to the teaching.
 Quoting: Schmoopee


Sorry I dont believe in the old testament at all, nor do I believe in its message, examples or claims,.

Re: Does Jesus want me to follow the laws of the Old Testament? Yes or no?
Does anyone remember a little incident in the bible on the road to Damascus where a guy named Saul of Tarsus was struck blind and them later converted? That guy became Paul. He started the Christian religion and he began to twist Christ's teachings.

Jesus never started a religion and never intended to. He was really only a messenger of the Kingdom of God's (within each) truth. This is one reason why he never left a single written word behind. An organised ritualised religion is exactly what he wanted to avoid but Paul had other ideas.

And to the one that called Urantia a hoax. Have you read it properly? If that is a hoax then it is by far the most reasonable, eloborate, imaginitive hoax ever conceived (especially for the time around 1935 when much about astronomy and cosmology written in it was unknown or in its infancy).

By its very nature and content it is clearly not because no man could come up with what is in that book in such detail. Not even the most imaginitive writers on Earth could conceive of the concepts in it and you know why? Because it contradicts and exposes absolutely everything religions have taught for thousands of years. It contradicts current science and accepted thinking in every way and brings mental and spiritual liberation. Everything the controllers don't want for you. It's not a controlling religious doctrine. It's a revelation. It's the story of everything. A story which the world controllers would not want humanity to know but they failed because it got published and the word got out.

If you read the Urantia book with a reasonable mind you'd see complete logical sense to it, not myths, legends, fairytales and interpretations. Nor visions or prophecies. Does that sound like another book you might know?

It isn't a children's book. Not the easiest to understand but once you get past the lifelong earth programming you'll begin to see. Creation is planned, ordered and managed and there is a definite plan for it and its inhabitants. God does have a plan and eternal leisure and bliss is not it.

God want us to become gods, co-creators with him, to become like him, and that is what the UB is about. The story of how low mortals (like us) can become gods and don't be afraid of the idea. If you live a moral, ethical, faithful, loving God-centered life and choose eternal life (yes, it is a choice you can make if you haven't already sometime in your existance) then all of Creation will work to make sure you become that.

In fact, a moral, ethical, faithful, loving, God-centered life is the only "laws" you really need. With that you can go far because those 5 points encompasses everything you could need to do. No rituals, no churches, just a personal relationship between you and God. That's the real church of God. You together with God's spirit (his actual personal spirit which the UB calls "The Thought Adjuster") within, is all you need because when all is said and done it is only you and God as One.

So, tell me again please how it is a hoax because I'm pretty sure none of your arguments will hold water. And , oh, don't trow the Bible at me on this, then I'll know you have no case and have not done your due reading.

PS. Sorry about the long posts but some things must be said.

Stupid or naive people, you mean.

It was plainly demonstrated that the apostles who were with jesus still made mistakes in judgment and in faith.

Being an apostle is not a mark of perfection.

Whatever the apostles did on their own is not Christianity.

Whatever someone who was a hebrew advocate and persecuted christians as the enemy is hardly to be believed, especially when his opinions contradict what Jesus said and did.

My opinion is that Paul is the Lindsey Graham to Christianity and cannot be trusted.
Hes essentially a hustler showboating himself in a christianity he doesnt believe and is trying to put it back into an old testament box where is doesnt fit.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76626437


It be extremely easy to prove Paul was a false apostle.

Thread: Paul presents himself as an apostle to Ephesus and is rejected. Ephesus is commended by Jesus for rejecting false apostles.


1. Paul writes to the church of Ephesus, in biblical Asia claiming to be an apostle of Jesus. See Ephesians 1:1.

2. Later Paul laments that he was abandoned by all of biblical Asia, Ephesus included. See 1Timothy 1:15.

3. In revelation, Jesus speaks to the 7 churches in Asia. And he does not rebuke them for rejecting the self proclaimed apostle, Paul.

4. He commends the church of Ephesus -- that Paul tried to witness to -- for testing and rejecting false prophets.

Show us where in scripture you base your facts on?
 Quoting: Achduke7


The noahide laws, exist to bind gentiles to serve and not be killed outright for being gentiles.

There is no true way to become equal to the dear ones, and it is not the intent, for if it was it would have been made example of in the books of myths which make up the OT.

The ONLY example in is is where a nontribe woman lied cheated and betrayed her way to deliver a whole people into political bondage and submission for a very large profit..

The book of ruth doesnt celebrate any actual holy deed, other than creating a coup against a cultural rival.

It seems that creating coups against their competitors is the most holy act a noahide lacky can accomplish, but in the end the story doesnt make her equal, it just makes her a traitor and leaves it at that.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76626437
