I believe in Jesus because of many prophecies and that I know only a sacrifice from God can take away sins that i put my trust in Him because of the prophecies about Him because I know it is reasonable to believe He is the one because if He was not others would have proved He is not the one and no just God could judge one for believing if not knowing He is so I trust but for some that may not be regarded as faith but I believe it is but I want to strengthen my faith if others can prove to me old testament teaches sabbath and circumcision would not be permanent in new covenant and would like recommendations for how i can rediscover the foundations of faith advice and books to do
My thoughts are
Since bible says there will be a new covenant written on the heart it is reasonable to believe Jesus to be the author of that and can now change the requirement of sabbath and circumcision in new covenant since He also fulfilled prophecies of messiah and such a messiah must be God to take away sins and God afterward always exposes false prophets which He never did so it is right to trust in jesus since one can not know He is wrong but I want my faith to be build up to be more strong with that as was before perhaps to see more how it is impossible for one man to fulfill all prophecies or more verses which prove in old testament that circumcision and sabbath is only temporary but it is clear a just God does not require such sacrifices as david said but the heart to escape eternal punishment but just maybe temporal so if required it must not be seen as required eternally just perhaps temporarily and in that sense perhaps paul means sabbath if it is part of sabbaths is just a shadow
Just what are you putting your faith in?
A man who fulfilled prophecy or in the Son of God who died to pay your penalty for sin, took your guilt and shame, who rose from the dead to show that he had finishedverything his Father had given him to do.
You want to strengthen your faith.
One does that by feeding it, reading the bible, listening to surmons, praying, talking with others about Christianity.
One also strengthens it by exercising it, attending worship, serving, witnessing.
Get involved with a church where the bible is expoundec, where there is outreach into the neighbourhood and where they have missionaries.
Ok thankyou. I do most of that except I havent read the bible from beginning to end in a long time nor do I talk to others about christianity I thought I would do that on forums just to learn from topics. I recently joined a church i will join if talking about it and sometimes ask questions to strengthen faith though I consider still I am a believer because what i said is all that is required to be a believer because not everyone can know bible well to answer my question and no one has to me yet even you but i will still ask about laws but I suppose you answered it that the faith is built on the resurrection which i should focus on to knowing all the proofs but i think is sufficient that it happend because if it was false God would have allowed others to prove it false just by miracles even just make miracles to them to prove they are right such as doing all the miracles christ did such as raising the dead to them and still is not proof it is required to prove they are right to be able to make all christians to force all christians to deny christ by taking over them to possess them initially that all witness it afterwards one can keep faith but God will be with some christians to never be able to that they must prove there is not one they can not make to deny the faith because God never allowed others to mislead those who go to Him to ask proof it is wrong
Ok I will if I need another response. But I just want to say this as is important that you should not judge others as not believers lest you be judged because what I have done is all that is required to be saved that that is all that some can do and you should not hinder people from coming to christ who all they can do is that. And I am not replying anymore to you or one who treats me like you incase you try to make excuses.
