Well, here is the problem we miss the whole point; from the beginning of the Bible we know that whatever we do without God, we will fail! We read many times how the people of Israel promise that they will keep the commandments “All that the Lord hath spoken we will do,” They promise this base in their own strength rather then have the strength from God; was without question a superficial demonstration of religious enthusiasm, a momentary reaction to a glorious and sublime truth. There was lacking the spirit of deep, true conversion, the “heart” to do what God demanded.
We don’t need to be perfect to keep the Law
We don’t became perfect by keeping the Law
We are not saved by Keeping the Law
The word of God is very clear in this, it says: “Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” (Romans 3:20)
The law can only expose the sinfulness of sin in its true colors. Justification can be obtained in only one way through Jesus Christ.
The idea that Jesus came to fulfill the law to give us the freedom of have other gods, or to dishonor our parents, or to kill, or to commit adultery, I am sorry but it sounds like a crazy idea.
He came and show the He is obedient to the will of His Father and He give us an example to fallow, He knows our weakness, He knows that we will fell down on our faces; but He also show us that He is there extending His hand for us to take, stand up, and keep walking in the right path.

FYI Notice Peter is only talking to men here because they were in the Temple ( but Yeshua said "it is finished" why would they be in that sinful place?) So now lets look at the rest of the story and what happened during Peter's "sermon".

quote:


Not sure if you went to my link and followed the reports of Ami (the boy I mentioned) but the investigations point to the bombing being the work of anti missionaries. They hate Christians or anyone claiming Yeshua as Messiah because of the lies that in order to be a Christian you must be converted to Christianity and give up the traditions and Torah. This is generations old and began with the organized church via Constantine and the early church fathers. Unless you stand and look a Jew in the eye and hear him/her tell you how "Christians" have destroyed their family because of past history it doesn't make sense. But it is true.

quote:

This is certainly a novel way to dismiss God's truth. "It is simply out of context".

And what was the context when all Israel made a golden calf and worshipped it in the wilderness while Moses was with God on Mt. Sinai?

All Israel did not worship the calf. The tribe of Levi did not:
Exo 32:26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, Who is on ADONAI's side? Come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to him.
Exo 32:27 And he said to them, Thus says ADONAI, the God of Israel: Each man put his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and kill each one his brother, and each one his neighbor, and each one his kindred.
Exo 32:28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
As well as Joshua :(Exo 32:17)
And Joshua heard the voice of the people in their shouting. And he said to Moses, A sound of war in the camp!

And what was the context when John the Baptist came announing Messiah to Israel and all Israel cried "Crucify Him!" "Crucify Him"?
Please show me the scripture where they cried to crucify Yeshua when John the Baptist announced Messiah.

So let's not use the pretext of context to dodge the truth of God's Word.

It is God who declared Israel to be a disobedient and gainsaying people in Isaiah, in Romans, and in all the Prophets. Therefore your dispute is now with the Almighty.

You might be suprised that Peter and Paul were being accused of removing the Torah and traditions in their day. And guess what happen to them?

But today seminaries across the Christian spectrum teach, as Vanderbilt University New Testament scholar Amy-Jill Levine says, that "if you get the [Jewish] context wrong, you will certainly get Jesus wrong."

That's not a frivolous query. Ideally, the reassessment should increase both Jewish-Christian amity and gospel clarity, things that won't happen if regular Christians feel that in rediscovering Jesus the Jew, they have lost Christ. Yet Bell finds this particular genie so logically powerful that he has no wish to rebottle it. Once in, he says, "you're in deep. You're hooked. 'Cause you can't ever read it the same way again."

They loved and followed Torah. They were being falsely accused. Many in the church however are indeed removing Torah and traditions from the People. You might be suprised that I have well meaning Christians all the time telling me I can't follow Torah or the traditions and be a Christian.
And yes Peter and Paul were murdered for their faith. And by the grace of HaShem Ami was spared.

quote:

Wait a second with that thought. Paul of all people ate everything a pagen would eat except if it was killed to worship another god. please read Galatians 2; beginning in verse 11, where the story Paul writes about is over one of those torah laws. Such as what to be eaten.
You know that God gave a vision to Peter with food on a blanket. Told Peter to get up kill and eat it Peter said not I Lord for nothing has entered my mouth that is unclean. Notice what is said to Peter after that responce from him. Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.
Whoops there goes a tradition and a law after the first ten rules up in a blanket. Why would the Lord given this vision to him if he needed to stay kosher?

quote:

ORIGINAL: Lapidoth

Another misapplication of script.

YHWH was not saying anything about food in that vision.
It was the Gentiles that YHWH has made clean.
The food was the "illustration", the Gentiles were the "substance" of the vision.

The Kosher Diet still applies. Pig is still poison in any diet.
The food that Paul talks about is that even if "kosher" food is put before you,
eat it, unless they "tell you" it is offered to demons. Then you refuse for the
sake of their conscience. Have to "rightly divide".

The work of the enemy has been going on for a long time I'll grant you that.
Sad thing is, Peter and Paul were accused of things that were not so. They loved and followed Torah. They were being falsely accused. Many in the church however are indeed removing Torah and traditions from the People.

Comment on this please especially the blue highlight:

....Rom 11:15 For if their casting away is the reconciling of the world, what is the reception except life from the dead?
Rom 11:18 do not boast against the branches. But if you boast, it is not you that bears the root, but the root bears you.
Rom 11:19 You will say then, The branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.
Rom 11:20 Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be high-minded, but fear.
Rom 11:21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, fear lest He also may not spare you either!

One more thought on the laws of kashrut (kosher eating).
Gentiles seem to think that Jews hate this law and are dying for a ham sandwich or plate of shrimp. But that is farthest from the truth. If you have never eaten pig and G~d forbids one from eating pig the last thing on your mind is wanting to eat it.
In the 1st Century and before, only the Goyim ate non kosher and until Corneilus they were pagan and ate stuff Jews would never think to eat. And besides that it would have made them pretty sick.
So think about this. If you are a missionary to some place that serves monkey brains, unless you are very adventerous you no doubt will try everything in your power to avoid eating monkey brains. So why do you think since y'all love pork that a Jew who grew up not eating it would want it just because you a Gentile tell him he now must eat it to be a Christian.
It is sad however that many Jews thru the years to avoid being persecuted, thrown out of their towns or worse - killed assimilated into the culture. And part of that was eating non kosher just to make people think you were not Jewish.
Why is it so important for missionaries to preserve the culture of all people they minister to oversees - except the Jewish people. They are the only ones who have to give up their culture to be accepted.

Hello iSERVEaJEW and Ezra

Could you two help me understand the Law and command of this?

Acts 9:13-14
The Conversion of Saul
13But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."

And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name

to bind all

Matthew 16:19
19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Please tell me the difference between these two authorities, one given to Saul by chief priests and the other by the Lord Jesus.

Does the word "bind" mean the same thing when given by these two authorities? Chief Priests and Jesus

You started out by refusing to accept the plain Bible truth that Israel never believed God. And even after receiving the Scriptures to support that, you continue to dodge this fundamental truth about Israel.
