That was about the sacrificial laws. They'd started them up again.
where do you get this? did you actually read the passage?

0For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.


this can be found in lev 27: 26. The book of the law of commands starts in chapter 10 with the stone tablets of the ten commandments, and continues up to chapter 27, with all the law given moses.. which would include every law and command given. NOT just the sacrificial laws.

JESUS IS THE ENTIRE THING ! JESUS IS THE ONLY THING !

RedTent ... I'm genuinely concerned for you. This latest post of yours is nothing short of a disaster and an abomination. I'm out.
judaizing.
it's deadly.

see the inference the Father is upset the Son gets all the attention?
and this not-so-shocking thing she's swallowed - Paul was given to deliberately stir up antisemitism by being misunderstood.

that g-d is a deceiver it seems.
the enemies of the cross have never stopped working.

I said it. If you turn back to the Law you have turned away from Him. I'm talking about the 10 commandments. The Law.

If you accept His Grace you have turned from your work at the 10 Commandments to Him.

If you work at the 10 commandments you have turned from Him and desire to perfect your own self through your flesh.

Your middle way is deception. You don't get Grace and works of the Law simultaneously. If that were the case Paul wouldn't have written the book of Galatians. Or Romans. Or most of the rest of the NT.

Maybe you are starting to see why the Jews persecuted Christians? We have a new Way. A way of Rest and not work.
Honestly, I give up trying to communicate this to you. It's evident you're not going to understand me no matter how I explain, or anyone else for that matter, no matter how thoroughly they explain it either. Off to another thread.

In fact, according to jews. The "Book of the law" was called the Torah. Or the whole book. Which included the ten commandments, and all 600 and some other commands. Which include the moral, the civil and the levitical laws.

God made a pact. Obey them ALL, or be cursed.. Paul said if we go back to these. and leave grace, we are under a curse.

Do you read the bible verses that I post?

Galatians 3:1-4
[SUP]1[/SUP]O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?[SUP]2 [/SUP]This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

This is to people who have come to Christ and have received the Holy Spirit. They had gone back to the law, like you do, and have tried to be pleasing to God by trying their best to live by the law like the jews did.

Galatians 3:10-14
[SUP]10[/SUP]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Its all throughout Galatians. All you have to do is study it and ask God for wisdom and revelation in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I know, Grandpa, When I met my Heavenly Father, and He told me all about Himself and His Son, that is what I told my Father. I even cried about it. I was told to find out about the Galatians, to find out about what God was saying. I knew that God would not say God was wrong, so I studied and found the most accurate history I could find. Paul was not reporting that God was against God, like I felt couldn't be, like you are saying God is. God is against making the customs of the Jews necessary to be one of God's family. He calls these "the law" sometimes and sometimes "circumcision". But Psalm 119 is still of God, God didn't erase it from scripture like you believe.

Galations is not just about circumcision.

It is about the WHOLE BOOK OF THE LAW.. Paul made it clear. If you go back, you are cursed, then he quoted lev 27: 6. Cursed is anyone who does not obey ALL the things written in the book of the law (the torah) and do them..

His point was, if yout going to add one or another, your indebted to do them all. perfectly!

Grandpa, you are saying that Christ decided that he picks me out of the entire world not to forgive when I go to Him with repentance? Paul made it clear that Christ saves. He is my Savior and I am cleanly forgiven. He speaks to me personally, and He speak to me every day through His word.

You are all up in the air because I speak well of His Father, my creator, and love Him as well as His Son.

You are always talking, yet, about going back. Back where? Is this back relating to this cursing? Of course I would be cursed by the law if I didn't take what I break of it to Christ for cleansing. Christ is my Savior, Christ took the curse of the law (death) from me.

What do you want me to do with the law? God gave it to me for my benefit. I am guided by it. Should I say it is a terrible thing? It is of God, I can not do that.

Jeremiah 31

31Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
The New Covenant (pact) includes GOD's Law.

Matthew 22

34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Exodus 20

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Revelation 22

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

It is written that Blessed are they that Keep the Commandments.

Keeping the Commandments means the right to the "tree of life"

If we go back, not keeping the Commandment of God in the garden of Eden meant death.

I have read these 40 pages, and this is my conclusion--

why would anyone who is actually IN CHRIST turn to a covenant God made with national Israel,
which is GONE (and we were NEVER part of), seek it for instruction in behavior?

When the New Testament is LOADED with the way we should live as believers?

Because the church has been to convert the gentiles, to let them know the gospel for these thousands of years. And as you say, they have done it by the NT, the completion of God's work for us through Christ. It has been good. But it is not complete, either, because as the NT is read it is not read as a whole with the OT. God is now opening up a way to know Him both as Creator and Savior. We have know Him mostly as Savior, and that is the most necessary. Now, we need to grow and know the Creator as well as the Savior.

Stuff and nonsense!

Read the gospel of John alone and count the number of times the Lord says if you have seen Him you have seen the Father.
That He and the Father are ONE.

Heb. 1:1-3

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.

Yesterday while hanging the washing on the line i realized just how much was required with the Old Covenant, some have said 600 or so.. i have never counted.

Now i believe the New Covenant is Keeping the Commandments of GOD and having the Testimony of the Messiah.

The Messiah affirmed that all the Commandments were to be kept and said our Righteousness must exceed that of the pharisees.

We are to Love even our enemy.

I will adhere to the Testimony of the Messiah and in comparison to the law of Moses what an easy yoke and light burden indeed.


A Gracious Loving GOD we have.

Jeremiah 31



The New Covenant (pact) includes GOD's Law..
Yes it does. But in Christ, its a brand new way.

Its not one Christians work at to keep. Its one Christians are given as a gift.

It was spoken of by King David when he said blessed is he whose sins aren't imputed against him. And it was prophesied of by Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 36:22-27
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Matthew 22



Exodus 20



Revelation 22




It is written that Blessed are they that Keep the Commandments.

Keeping the Commandments means the right to the "tree of life"

If we go back, not keeping the Commandment of God in the garden of Eden meant death
Its only by the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus that commandments are kept. The Spirit is given as a gift by God when we come before Him.

If we refuse the working of His Spirit and go back to the law to try to keep it ourselves we have failed. Our only hope is in the Lord Jesus and Him working and growing the Holy Spirit that He has given us.

If we turn away from and try to keep His Perfect Law we are in effect showing Him that we don't believe that He has already fulfilled that.

When we abide in Him and trust in Him alone for our righteousness we are showing Him that we do believe that He is our Righteousness.

Therefore Christians are not under the Law, but we establish the law, by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
