It was the Lord God who commanded fleshly circumcision for many thousands of years. It is wrong to say that the Lord was in error when He commanded that. Christ changed that command, and the same time Christ did not say the Father was wrong to command this ritual. Until Christ came it was the...

It isn't that I disagree with you, but I think there should be a lot more disocclusion of "letter of the law". Jesus is telling us that the Lord's law is no longer told to man through the law to circumcise as cutting flesh, for example, and circumcision if not defined as the letter of the law...

It cannot mean that He is disagreeing with anything the Lord says in the OT. In Matt. 5:17 we are told that Christ changed nothing of the OT. I think it is explaining the prophesy of Ezekiel 31:33, telling us that soon the Lord’s law would be written in man’s hearts. In the OT the law was...

If we were a Jew living in Jesus's time, we would have a heritage of being taught that to obey the law was to be circumcised, to eat kosher, and say certain prayers as the law tells. Some Pharasees even strained their food to be sure they have ate a tiny bug that the law forbid. They did not...

To simplify all this, God created us and our world, along with the way we are to live in it. This way was given to man from the beginning, although sin entered in, and sin is like putting sand in the gas tank of a car. The first act of God for us was to create a family, and give instructions...

God blessed the Hebrew people because of the work God gave them to do in showing the nations what God is like. It is between the Jews and God, that their hearts have been hardened, and they do not accept Christ. It is not for us to judge. They will be saved. Romans 11:25-26I want you to...

The reality of what Christ did is in the new covenant, the reality is a better principle than the fleshly symbols, but we must not forget that the God of the OT is the same God as the God of the NT. Christ is in Genesis as Christ is in the four gospels. God does not change, only the covenants...

Thanks for reminding us that the Lord gave us His Son, to save us from our sins. We have the blessed words of the Lord to teach us. In the old testament, the teaching is done through fleshly symbolic teaching, in the new testament those same teachings are given to us in the spirit.

Even though the Jews have been treated horribly, they have also been blessed. The world's population of Jews is only 2%, yet 59% of then have college degrees, 22% of Nobel prize winners are Jews, they average a higher IQ than those of any other race. Part of this is because of their...

If you study our history from the time of Christ, you find that often the earthly church was clearly wrong. Millions of people were murdered as the Protesents and Catholics fought each other, although murder is wrong. The OT clearly tells the Jews of Christ, the sacrificial system is...

By "OT law, if you mean we are not to follow the fleshly instructions that are symbolic of the OT spiritual law, then I agree. However, those symbolic fleshly instructions are to lead to understanding the spiritual law they are symbols of, then we are to follow those laws. Those fleshly...

Right, we should follow Christ within us, Christ did not disobey the law. Scripture tells us that if we love Him, we will obey Him. If we fail we are to repent and ask forgiveness. Wen Adam and Eve disobeyed and brought on death, God gave us Christ as the first reaction to that. In the old...

Absolutely nothing ended at the cross. The OT is God and the NT is God, and Christ said he changed nothing in Matthew 5:17. What the cross did was change the way God's messages were given. Instead of the everlasting stone that is earthly and of flesh used to symbolically give God's...

Christ tells us in Matt. 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. All the OT is God's word, all is truth, every word including the law as given. However it is given in stone, not given to man in spirit...

The first thing God did after Adam and Eve's disobedience causing death was to give us Christ so we may be forgiven and live eternally. The sacrificial system was a symbol of Christ, not about the sacrifice of animals. We are told that in Isaiah, the first chapter when the Lord said he hated...

I also felt someone watching over me from the time I was 4 or 5. I was given to a family who lived without any awareness of God, so much so that my stepmother smoked a cigarette during a sermon and had to be told to leave the church. I remember asking her then about God, she thought that was...

I don't think that it important to know that God created us and our world as it is out of nothing or out of a dark planet void of God. God is truth, and if sometimes science discovers a truth of God, it sometimes helps our understanding. That was true when science discovered God created a...

I love to read scripture and history. I agree with Will Durant that no one can know history of the world and not understand that our God is the true God. Will Durant and his wife Ariel wrote the ten volume Story of Civilization. Will was and expriest who became an agnostic until late in his...

Christ summarized the Amidah Prayer that was established by the Great Assembly of men who returned from Babylon to rebuild the temple. It was composed of 120 men, they were leaders of the Jews who had left Babylon and needed to learn what they had forgotten while in exile. The Amidah is a...

Christians are secure in the arms of the Lord, with Christ in their hearts, They follow the teaching of the Lord, knowing He created us and our world, so all truth is from Him. Christians are careful of what they feed their minds, for Christ within them leads them away from adding...
