Romans 11:2-4, and 22-24
[SUP]2 [/SUP]God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Ezekiel 37:19-23
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
[SUP]22 [/SUP]And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Until you understand all Scripture, not just the red letters, is God-breathed and is the word of God, you cannot correctly understand the Bible.
False. . .
Peter does not warn of Paul's writings, he warns of wrestling them to one's own destruction as they do the other Biblical writings, and as you are doing.
That's why you don't understand the Bible. . .and never will as long as you view it that way.

Now this is just a question. I am still researching/studying it. And it's a little off topic.
Acts 18:18
[SUP]18 [/SUP]So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.
Acts 21:26
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.
Now there is only 1 vow that requires this. And that is the Nazerite vow. Now Paul not only just completes the Nazerite vow, but he does it with others (not only that, but I believe the people he took the vow with, were gentiles the NKJV states the Jews got made because he brought Greeks into the temple when doing this). Well what is the offering made in the Nazerite vow.
Numbers 6:13-18[SUP]13 [/SUP]‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. [SUP]14 [/SUP]And he shall present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish as a sin offering, one ram without blemish as a peace offering, [SUP]15 [/SUP]a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their drink offerings.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Then the priest shall bring them before the Lord and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering; [SUP]17 [/SUP]and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering. [SUP]18 [/SUP]Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.
This is clearly after Yeshua's and Paul is giving offerings (along with gentiles, still assuming based off of the following verse). Now according to scripture, these offerings are as sacrifices in the temple.
So where does that come into line with all sacrifices are done away with.
P.S.
I understand there is no temple today, but that's completely different.

No. . .it states that as long as heaven and earth exist, this principle exists--the law will not pass away until it is fulfilled.
That means the only condition for its passing is its fulfillment.
Jesus said he came to fulfill it.
Unless he didn't accomplish his purpose, then it is fulfilled and, therefore, has passed away.

Ok, so for Yeshua to fullfill the Torah, He had to practice and perfectly follow it (which He did), in Deuteronmy 6 it states that the words of the Lord (the commands that are being given) are to be taught.
Now for Yeshua to fullfill Torah He would have to teach Torah, and not teach against it or just part of it.
God's people are "set apart" in the OT; i.e., set apart--from sin, and to God.
That is the meaning of "peculiar people."
Yes, it means holiness, sanctification.
Yes, the sheep of God and Christ are those who are born again.
The priesthood changed, the sacrifices ceased, the old covenant was made obsolete, the law was fuilfilled in Christ, who came to fulfill it, and set aside (Heb 7:18-19), they being replaced with the new priesthood in the order of Melchizedek, the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ, the new covenant, the law of Christ (Mt 22:37-40; Gal 6:2; Ro 1:8, 9, 10).
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness in light of all of itself.
