Who is a Jew?
Rom 2:28,29
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

This scripture clearly shows that the physical Jews are not true Jews.

Consider also 1Cor 10:18-20
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
But I say, that the things which theGentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.


Here we see confirmation that physical Jews are not true Jews. Instead, we see they're described as Gentiles (in spiritual terms), sacrificing to devils.

So we see in scripture, depending on the context, that there are both physical Jews and Gentiles, and there are also spiritual Jews and Gentiles.

A spiritual Jew is one who believes on Jesus. They've had circumcision of the heart.

A spiritual Gentile in a non-believer. The physical Jews are actually spiritual Gentiles as they have not had circumcision of the heart.

that is why it is said honour the sabbath look here Isaiah 58:13 If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,


speaking idle words means not to and also means to keep the peace which is what you have in eternity.
And also if you can the peace on THAT day there is a good chance you can keep the peace on other days.

................ There are 2 tables. Which table do you want to be at?
I want to sit at the one where you sit. That would mean that you have come to understand that the blood of Christ has fulfilled the law and you realized that faith in God has given you salvation, not the law.
There is nothing more important than a wandering soul coming to the light. Alas, I don't hold much optimism for that to happen to you.

To have faith in Sabbath keeping is to say that the cross of Christ is not enough. Well is it or not?

The brides obligation is to do the will of the husband, to wash her garments and keep oil in her lamp.
[FONT=&quot]John 14:6 Yeshua said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Proverbs 13:9 the light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked will be put out. [/FONT][SUP]Psalms105 [/SUP]Thy word (Torah) is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

[FONT=&quot]1John 2:4 He who says, "I know Him," (Yeshua) and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth (Torah) is not in him.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Would the Holy Spirit of Yeshua “Jesus” ever teach people away from keeping any of the commandments of God?No!
Beware there is a spirit of anti-Christ out that is out there that dwells in people and teaches people there is no longer any need to keep the commandments of God, that is the spirit of anti-Christ. [/FONT]

You cannot keep oil in your lamp unless your faith is exclusively in the cross. You cannot keep one word He say's unless you faith is exclusively in the cross.

It is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit say's the Lord.

For once, I agree with what you've said. It is by the power of Messiah in us we watch faithfully for His return.

Yes, this is an important point that the law lovers don't get. Trusting in the law, thinking you have God's favor by engaging in the old covenant is saying the work of the cross is not enough. The law lovers do what they can to meet the requirements of the law and simply use the cross to cover what they can not do. The cross is not a band aide, it is the difference between life and death.

The Israelite's complained and God sent them fiery serpents. Once bitten by the serpents, the only way to healing was to look at the pole Moses erected. If you sin one time, you must also look to the cross to be saved or hell will swallow you up in its gaping maw. Yet the law lovers serve two masters, law and grace. Jesus says if you serve two masters you are not fit for Heaven.

[SUP]97 [/SUP]O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
[SUP]98 [/SUP]Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies:
for they are ever with me.
[SUP]99 [/SUP]I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation.
[SUP]100 [/SUP]I understand more than the ancients,
because I keep thy precepts.
[SUP]101 [/SUP]I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
that I might keep thy word.
[SUP]102 [/SUP]I have not departed from thy judgments:
for thou hast taught me.
[SUP]103 [/SUP]How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
[SUP]104 [/SUP]Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.

would you like me to answer your question on how you would like it to be answered ????

it looks like you would like me to answer it the wrong way by the looks of things ?? that looks like your intention as i don't think i could have given you a better answer to your first question.
The bible says guard your heart that also means guard your brother and sisters heart, and not ask question to slip them up with, that is called putting a stumbling in front of a blind man its no different as to what your displaying here.

Leviticus 19:14
Love Your Neighbor
13You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning. 14'You shall not curse a deaf man, nor place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the LORD. 15'You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

please think carefully before answering and please don't use me as a rug to wipe your feet on.

We must remember that David violates the law several times but God says he is after his own heart. I believe that David had God in his heart and even though he faulted he was always quick to reach out to God for forgiveness and mercy. Love is what made David great. Although one has to wonder about his parenting skills :).

No I have nothing personal against you nor am I trying to trick you, your conscience has answered my question as you have went on the defense. Simply and truthfully answer the question or will you hold to the work of your flesh?

1. Your long, large posts yelling at people is never going to get your point across.
2. If you try to obey the ten commands with all your being (your flesh) You will fail. This is what scripture says, if you deny this, you deny the words of God himself.
3. We do not obey the commands with all our being, We live the law of love righteousness, and of CHrist, And we will not break the law of sin and judgment (while we are focused on those things.)

You have been fooled by LAWyers who try to get God to look at all their good deeds, and think God will bless them and love them because they obey some list of rules, When they have fooled themselves into thinking they are obeying them (when in reality they are not in a way God demands)

Stop looking at rules, which can only condemn you, Learn to take the LOVE and FORGIVENESS that God he supposedly shown you, And pass that on to everyone you com into Contact with. That is pure religion before God.
i actualy missed that what you said , cheep shot there mate ? it does not say with my own being it says our being, beside this is another christian belief not mine and i think hes referring to the allmighty. ?

What I'm trying to say and you are taking it personally and maybe you should. Man has a tendency to say accept Christ and this or that, man wants to put his stamp on it.

But the bible say's that whosoever believes in their heart and confesses with their mouth, the Lord Jesus Christ, the same shall be saved. No ifs and's or but's about. There is nothing else we can add. Jesus said "it is finished" why do we need to add stuff, because our flesh likes rules.

Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.

The Lord your God is a jealous God.

Faith in law is faith in your own God and what you can do, instead of what God has done for you.
