Good post; good topic! Not difficult at all. I keep almost all of them, as I became convicted to in my studies a few years ago. Actually, if one is a good Christian and following the example of Jesus (Himself a Torah observant Jew) then you are already keeping all but a handful. Yes, and so do...

Well, that would be news to a LOT of OT characters, including: Joshua- Numbers 27:18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him. Bezalel - Exodus 31:2-3a “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the...

Huge time suck with so far no good results. So I am going to skip through this one fast and see if there is anything worth answering from an informational perspective. I was asking for your references where you were telling me what the Talmud says. But you have none- as I expected. We were...

To you I'm sure I do. 11 million Jews, MOSTLY children, women with children, husbands and fathers who did not want to risk their families being shot dead with them, and the elderly. These are the ones you say should have gone up against the best army in the world with, what, their bare hands...

It's not about Ghandi! It is about Jews facing Nazis. Ghandi just had to look hungry and ride on top of the train wearing diapers. Hear this; understand this: had the Jews done that they would have immediately been killed-- *every*last*one*of*them*. They did what they had to in order to survive...

I just told you, "the faithful in both (Hebrews and Gentiles) make up God's ekklesia; his congregation, a.k.a. "the church." I spoke of those who in the OT looked forward in faith to their Messiah, and those after who look back in faith believing Jesus is that Messiah. I also have spoken quite...

Are you serious? Passive resistance; we're not talking about billions of people and a fairly benign and at least somewhat humane and relatively small occupying force such as Ghandi faced. We are talking about NAZI's! And they wanted to kill all the Jews, not just pacify them. The choice was work...

Those instructions are all through the 66 book Bible we have. Shoot-fire, even in the Apocrypha of the RC's. And I have the books of the Ethiopic Bible and they are in there! Too many Christians assume everything they need to study is in the NT. We were given a Bible. Men have given their lives...

Here's a good read from a news organization made of of Israeli believers and other Jewish believers too: who-is-a-jew-2

There is a LOT of pressure on a Jew who accepts Jesus. Reaction against this ranges from disgust, mistrust, ostracization, and even hatred. My wife has gotten it from both sides since she became Christian. But there is also a lot of love and acceptance from both. But Jews do tend to distrust...

Agree, however note I said back then showing up would have been enough. And I meant showing up everywhere in force, armed, and willing to stand against what was happening. Politicians and bureaucrats are for the most part cowards. They fear an armed populace. The difference then and now is the...

I grew up in Texas and New Mexico in the 50's and 60's; the western edge of the "Bible Belt." Back then every year there were tent revivals all summer, we had the "Elk Cowboy Camp Meeting" and other events which drew hundreds of people. And in winter the revivals were somewhat smaller and moved...

Skimmed through the posts here, and some things occur to me: 1. It's easy to look back and judge people, saying "Why didn't they leave?" Some good answers were given to that, so I'll ask another question; "Why haven't we revolted?" From the 90's and Ruby Ridge, Vashon Island, Waco and many...

A perfect example of the problem. Neither Israel itself nor what we call "the church" are the church! However the faithful in both make up God's ekklesia; his congregation, a.k.a. "the church." Before Jesus they looked forward in faith, trusting God to send a Messiah. We look back in faith...

Sure. First off is your premise guns are only designed to kill people is flawed. It does not take into consideration the reasons one may have for killing another- self defense, defense of others, insurance against government overreach, for example. Moreover the mere presence of a firearm may...

Here (the US) enforcement usually becomes an issue incidental to some other interaction with law enforcement. Say your guns were stolen and you improperly stored them in a jurisdiction where there are such laws. At the other extreme, and God forbid you ever had to use a gun in self defense. If...

You took my statement out of context and applied it to a completely different argument. I was saying just because I had some Jewish genetic markers didn't mean I was ethnically Jewish. Nor do I think the same way, act the same, etc. As for the Ethopian Hebrews, the state of Israel at great...

Agree. The medical term for sweating blood is "Hemitridoses." Jesus was fully man and fully God, true. But being a man he felt all the emotions and temptations we did. Yes, I believe He feared what was coming. He also would have experienced temptation, and I'm sure it occurred to Him He could...

Yes, but you still have to get permission to own a firearm. And many places have laws concerning storage of the firearm and even access to it. We have much the same in many places even in the US. However in most places here it is much easier to own a gun, and in many states (like mine) open...
