I think the problem comes down to the Doctrine of dispinsationalism. That was then and this is now kind of thing.

Do you have any scripture to back that up?
looks like man-made theology.

Revelation 14:12
12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 21:12
and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl:

This is the Kingdom. Do you see a gate for the gentiles? NO..
If you want to remain a Gentile good luck with that..

Romans 11
Ephesians 2

Speak about being grafted into Israel .
That is the problem CHRISTIANS are having, they think they are already there....when in fact all they have taken to themselves is the NAME of Christ...NOTHING more....and that alone won't cut it ! THEY are NOT YET DOERS....they DON'T DO what Jesus says Lk 6v46, in fact they refuse to walk with Him and calling those few who do JUDAIZERS. How disgusting of them !!!

what is disgusting is you and others blaspheme the Lord Jesus, who said on the Cross " it is finished " , His hand - picked man to deliver the Gospel to the gentiles, Paul, who says over and over " not by works, not under the Law " by saying the OPPOSITE of this.
sickening lies.

and you had the nerve to say all of Paul's word are not authoritative Scripture. you ma'am need to repent. and the 74 guy. and needs to studyman.

you just admitted it. Paul is very clear- not by works , not under the law, saved by grace. all of that means exactly what is seems to.

but, it does not fit with your religion , so, it is " not clear ' to you.
and, Paul does not ever say " keep the Sabbath ". that is clear, is it not?

that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
(John 3:6)
If we keep reading Yeshua(Jesus) explains what he is saying. We can't just pick out part of something and put our own meaning behind it.

John 3:17-20
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.

The scriptures define Evil as lawlessness.

So if we are born of the flesh we will do the works of the flesh.
And Paul makes it clear that our flesh does Not want to obey God.
But if we are born of the spirit we do the works of God

John 1:1-4
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


Yeshua(Jesus) is the Way,Truth,Life
The Word(Torah) is truth
The Word(Torah) is the Way
The Word(Torah) is Life

There is no way to the Father except through him

I say Word is Torah because what word would he be talking about?

The New Testament did not exsist when he said this.

Did Paul convince the Jews that Yeshua(Jesus) was messiah because of a letter he wrote last week?

NO he used the Torah and Profits.

To be honest I am losing track of your waffle...but what I do understand is that Paul himself kept the Sabbath, he did not have to state it ! what do you mean 'not clear to me ? scripture says he was hard to understand and that goes for everybody, even you pretending he is easy.
Why do you think he was executed ? because he did not fit in with the christian sunday belief....as were also all the oiriginal Apostles of Jesus[Yashua.

Paul and all the others were executed because they would not stop proclaiming Jesus as Lord.

the same thing I say, but since you think we have to be jewish to be saved, you set yourself in the same stance as those who opposed Paul and the others. they thought one had to be a jew and keep the Law to be right with God. I say no. Paul said no. you and others oppose that.

You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Dan_473, post: 3632223, member: 190874"]
From Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


and brother of James, to those who are called, wrapped in the love of God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

2 May mercy, peace, and love be lavished on you!
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


In my understanding, and a few others on this forum, of the Bible, every scripture contains every other scripture in it. There is no contradiction. His Word flows together like a flowing river.

I won't be drawn into posting one verse to destroy or discredit another as is your custom and the custom of many. I believe the Bible interprets itself, not by placing or impressing man's tradition or thoughts on a scripture, but by comparing God's Word with God's Word so as to seek His Righteousness, not justify our own.

Otherwise you get Babylon, confusion, which in my understanding is the goal of the serpent.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Which to be sure, God did say.

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But God also said other things which more clearly defines His intent.

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Don't be tricked by the serpent Dan.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

I think the problem comes down to the Doctrine of dispinsationalism. That was then and this is now kind of thing.
Dispensationalism: (Israel and the "Church" are separate entities) “Dispensationalism is a theological system that teaches that biblical history is best understood in light of a number of successive administrations of God's dealings with mankind, which it calls ‘dispensations.’ It maintains fundamental distinctions between God's plans for national Israel and for the New Testament Church and emphasizes prophecy of an end-times and a pre-tribulation rapture of the church prior to Christ's Second Coming. Its beginnings are usually associated with the Plymouth Brethren movement in the UK and the teachings of John Nelson Darby.” (www.theopedia.com)

Your adding words that are NOT there..

John 14:28
You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
God the Father said hear Him. in the presence of Moses ( the Law ) and Elijah ( the Prophets ).
they key is hear Him.

so, I am discussing Scripture. you are selectively editing Scripture.
