Are Christians under a New or Renewed Covenant?

[@timbaines3562]

Great job Rob. I also like to point out that in Jeremiah 31:32 the Lord said it it "...not like the covenant I made with their fathers..." If it was renewed - it would have been JUST like it - only renewed. This video is pristine and so helpful. Thanks again for all of your work Rob.

[@2NYce]

Stole my answer lol I was going to say this...nah but these were my thoughts as well

[@kylediaz3302]

The covenant God made with Abraham was "I'm giving you this land. Period," it was an unconditional covenant. The covenant made on Sinai was conditioned based upon them keeping the commandments; if they didn't then the curses of the Law (Deut 28, Lev 26) would be delivered to them (which it was multiple times, including a 70 years exile to allow the land to rest because they didn't keep the yearly Sabbatical cycles, 2 Chron 36:21). The "new covenant" indeed was not like the one on Sinai which was conditional. A new covenant doesn't mean new commands. Thou shall not kill remains a command regardless if it was Noah, Abraham, Davidic, or the covenant given by Jesus (or even before, say, Abel and Cain). Loving your brother and not hating him (Matt 5:21-26) was nothing brand new off the factory line, it already existed in the commandments Jesus (the Son) gave to Moses to give to His people (Lev 18:15-18). Jesus never removed His previous commands (except one, Moses permitting divorce) that He gave and He followed; He rebuked the doctrines and traditions of men who added to the commandments of God given to Moses. When Jesus said: Matthew 5:43 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ He wasn't contradicting the previous commands he gave to Moses. When he said " you have heard" he is referring to the traditions and teaching of men (the Pharisees) who twisted the commands; Jesus was correcting what was being proclaimed by the so called shepherds of His day. People think the "keeping the Law" is keeping 613 commands. Nonsense, Jesus didn't even keep all 613 commands because half of them didn't even apply to Him; He wasn't of the tribe of Levite, He wasn't a woman, He didn't own land, etc. Most Christians keep the commandments give by the Son to Moses and they don't even know it. If you don't marry your sister, guess what you're keeping the Law even though that command doesn't exist in the NT. If His death and blood removed the commandments of the OT, then by that definition in the eyes of God I can now marry my sister since the NT says nothing about it and we are not "free from the commands given in the Law". Sorry, that doesn't fly. People (including myself, once upon a time) have no idea what the commands in the Law actually are and how do they apply. When Daniel was in exile (Babylonian) he kept the commands the best he could given the situation he was in. When Paul is making his argumentation throughout all of Romans about the Law, he never deemed it bad or worth less, in fact it was good: Romans 7:12 12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. Romans 7:16 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. Nowhere in the OT does it every say the commandments (the Law) given to Moses by the Son were bondage or bad; in fact that the opposite (I'd challenge you, as people have challenged me, to find one place in the OT were it says the commandments given by the Son were bondage or bad; doesn't exist, but good luck). Proverbs 6:23 23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, If the commandments are bondage, then you're telling me that the Son wanted to take His people out of bondage to then place them back into bondage (His commands)? No. The bondage were the laws of man not the laws of God. Exodus 20:2 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage. Continuing with Paul in Rom 10, he says Christ is the end of the law for righteousness Rom 10:5-12 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” (Lev 18:5) Why is the righteousness of the Law being equated to Lev 18, because righteousness before God, or to be just before God under the conditions of the Law was that you must keep the Law perfectly, which only Christ did, hence why He could become the spotless Lamb and offer Himself freely; He was just before His Father. Paul goes on and compares the righteousness of the Law vs righteousness of God (which is faith and not works of the Law, or doing the commands as if it was a check list- good deeds out weight bad deeds). 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” What is Paul quoting verses 6-8? Deut 30, which says the the Law is a burden right? Not really. Deut 30:11-18 11 “For this commandment which I command you today is [c]not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. 15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. The yoke/bondage of the Law is having to keep the Law perfectly in order to be just before God (justified by works). That is the bondage that Paul says we ought not put ourselves under again which he constantly had to deal with those of the circumcision who said salvation is through keeping the Law. We are saved through Faith which is a free gift, and we demonstrate that faith by doing His commands; "faith without works is dead, I will show you my faith by my works." There is no foundation to how you can "love god and love your neighbor" (the two greatest commandments) without the context of the commandments themselves. Not worshiping false gods is loving God, not making idols is loving god, not getting into necromancy, witchcraft, and conjuring spirits is loving God, things explicitly laid out in detail in the OT. What is really boils down to on the subject of "Torah observance" are the Sabbath, feast days, and food. Basically everything revolving around friends and family. You should read 2 Kings 22, amazing reality check of Josiah and God's people living day to day thinking they were doing things the "right way" until they found the Book of the Law and discovered they were living a lie. Not only did Josiah himself have to change, but he had to do that to the entire nation; which included giving up all of their false ways and traditions. 1. The Sabbath is in the future kingdom ( Ez 45-48, Isa 56, Isa 66:22-24 ->quoted by Jesus 3 times in Mark 9:45) On a side note, the purpose of the Sabbath nothing being included by the apostles for the Gentiles is because not every nation operated on a 7 day weekly cycle and therefore having them do it would hinder the core of the Gospel going on. Fun fact, until the AD 300's the Roman Empire had 8day weekly cycles. 2. Christ has fulfilled Passover, Unleavened, and First fruits. Pentecost began in Act 2 but the pouring out of the HS continues until His second coming. 3. Fall feasts have yet to be fulfilled (Zech 14, Isa 25, 66, Ez 45-48 talk about some them being kept in the kingdom) So if all of HIS feasts days (not Jews/Israel's, they are His and for all nations, Lev 23:2) point to Him and even the apostles continued to keep them and even encouraged the "church" to do so (ex: 1 corth 7), AND it will be in the future kingdom, then why are Christians not at the very least memorializing them? 4. Uncleaned and clean animals were given to Noah (Gen 7:2-3) so you cannot say humanity post-flood had no concept or understanding of various kinds of animals and their purposes. Are roaches created by God, yes, and they are good. Are bees, yes and they are good. All things by God are good for their intended purposes. Most of the unclean animals are garbage disposals or the "clean up crew", just like a sucker fish in an aquarium cleans up the tank. But just because they are created by God and good for their intended purpose in the circle of life doesn't mean they were meant for you to consume; hence the distinctions God made of clean and unclean.

On a side note of Jer 31, the law placed on our hearts... the word law is torah...

Even if it is not "renewed", the reason it was "not like" the one given leaving Egypt, is because "they broke it" (Jer 31:31). The New Covenant cannot be broken, like the Abrahamic.

A LOTTA research/work goes into each of ur videos so ty Rob for making this so “crystal!”👍🏻

[@thomashcase]

Thanks for the video. One additional background point that relates to the wording in Jeremiah 31:31. In reference to Peter Gentry's discussion on covenants in Old Testament (Kingdom through Covenant), there are two ways covenants are worded in the Old Testament. One is kārat běrît, which means "cut a covenant". The second is hēquîm běrît, which roughly means "to keep a covenant." Example is with Abraham, first reference is the former, subsequent and reinforcing instances are latter. "Cut" means new, where the latter version is more in line with renewed. In Jeremiah 31, just prior to "new covenant", the word used is כָרַתִּ֗י (I will cut). Therefore, it reinforces the idea that this is a new (not renewed) covenant. The LSB (Legacy Standard Bible), actually words Jeremiah 31:31 as "Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" to better match the Hebrew text.

Under the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:34 God explicitly instructs us that we will no longer teach others to know God when we are actually under the New Covenant. The words “And they shall teach no more…” really mean, “teach up a storm anyway??? Honestly! Could it be the reason so many so called New Covenant Christians keep violating that part of the New Covenant is because we aren’t actually under the New Covenant yet, but still very much under the Old Covenant?

You couldn't "renew" a broken Ketubah because nothing could be added or subtracted. The New had to replace the old, broken and obsolete First Covenant and one of the Testators needed to die to set free the other party. Yeshua died to set free those under the "first" Ketubah and established a "New" Ketubah that they could enter into freely.

The ultimate goal of Adventism is to reach a point of personal righteousness that makes Jesus unnecessary. Adventists are legalists and perfectionists who are obsessed with a few Mosaic laws and thousands of laws their prophetess enacted. Adventists believe they must be ready to stand before God without a mediator. All religious cults diminish Jesus and pervert Holy writ.

Thank you, Professor Solberg for the great teaching videos. I first encountered Torah observant rhetoric online and was shocked to hear the way some of them denounce Paul as some great deceiver. I was amazed at how they could twist scripture, and at times completely eviscerate the true meaning, in order to make their interpretations work. I have since learned that there are more nuanced versions, and they are harder to refute. It became exhausting responding to them.

This is confusing why did you use Hebrew to say thank you very much and peace……..? You read Hebrew…..? Understand God is reading the Torah, to learn His likes and dislikes……if He is teaching us Mussar…character……isn’t a humble character what HaShem is trying to teach us…….? The Holy Spirit tells us that Moses was the most humble man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3) David is humble before God, not presuming to take the armies of Israel to war unless the true Ruler of Israel permits it (I Chronicles 14:10). Worship in the original Hebrew language of the Jewish Tanakh primarily means means to bow down. Another definition for worship means to prostrate oneself… to humbly beseech. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Psalms 25:9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. That’s pretty specific “this book”

It's interesting that the Mosaic Law was incapable of preventing against there being pre-cross captives held in captivity, of whom Yahshua to set free from Abraham's Bosom in Sheol after the atoning power of His shed Blood and ultimate deliverance from sin. Those who would add to that Blood an alleged sufficiency within adherence to the Mosaic Law, that is a sad state of affairs. It is presumed by our Torah-following friends that not following the Mosaic Law leads to lawlessness. I agree with them...but only to the extent that they are living in denial and restraint against God's Law that He writes upon the hearts of His true followers. Their lawlessness in trying obey the Mosaic Law is indeed lawlessness because they are guilty of it all due to their inability to live it perfectly.

As far as my personal struggles with this movement goes this may be the most useful video you have made yet! (I haven't' watched yet, but the title is very promising). My Messianic rabbi friend used "new" supposedly from its original Torah meaning of something that is renewed, rather than brand new. He also really dislikes "2nd Temple Judaism", and the Apostolic Fathers and early Church fathers like Justin Martyr for their affects on Christianity as far as how we get meaning out of Typologies especially things like the 8th day, new creation etc. I do notice, unfortunately he is an extremist among Messianics, because when I argue for the "Biblical Reasons" for Sunday worship with Seventh Day Adventists I tend to quote Messianic Jewish Sources that happily voice the significance of the 8th day with all the rituals, feasts and offering and sacrifices that took place on that day in the old Judaism of the temple and tabernacle. Anyway my friend seems to reject certain notions like "theological Development", especially things that seem to have taken place by God's Providence. Even though this itself is extremely "Biblical" when it comes to the uncovering of Revelations and we tend to know more in the Faith as time goes by, different events transpire and we study and reflect on them in light of the scriptures.

The Ten Commandments are only part of perhaps 613 commands given to Moses, all found in Exodus through Deuteronomy. Some commands concern dietary laws, feasts, diseases, etc.

[@justusmorton6555]

@@kingPerry34 Since there are multiple specific times where God gives commandments and instructions (e.g. Noah, Abraham, etc.), it is useful to distinguish the specifics of what God spoke by mentioning the person addressed. This is why people can refer to an Adamic law or a Noahide law or, indeed, the Mosaic Law.

It doesn't really make sense that the old covenant was renewed. If you read the scripture it said let it not said that the fathers have eaten sour grapes and set the children's teeth on edge. The children will no more have to pay for the sins of the father. That is what in Jeremiah is saying in the new covenant. We are not under a renewed covenant where we have offer sacrifices of animals. That is why Jesus said once it is fulfilled it would pass away. He didn't say anything about it being renewed.

Jesus changed the world! His presence on earth was the most significant happening ever. Messiah Jesus didn’t come be tacked on to the law for believers to start acting Jewish following centuries of Jewish tradition and law. By the time Hebrews was written the ramifications of what Messiah Jesus accomplished and the changes it meant were understood. That’s why words like obsolete in Hebrews can be used describing the Mt. Sinai covenant and how we can equate “fulfill” and “all is accomplished” from Matthew 5 to obsolete. It’s not a bad thing it’s an awesome thing now being able to have a direct relationship with God the Father, Jesus the Son and Holy Spirit. The vail of the holy of holies was split in half symbolic of splitting the sacrifice animals of covenants, foreshadowed by the parting of the Red Sea. Moses leads to Jesus and a New Covenant not the other way around.

This has come up in my preferences again and coincidentally has been an subject I was studying a week or two ago. The Lexical meanings of Hebrew words on this very topic, and it really seems to me that Hebrew Roots / Torahists are mostly going out of their way to read into the Bible "a renewed covenant". That specific terminology is used in a few places, maybe 8, but so many times the Bible seems to emphasize new, as in fresh, never been seen before etc. And I believe does this on purpose, because with the trials and tribulations it is good to have something better to look forward to, and I think that is part of God's nature, and the fact that as we come to know Hm in eternity we will gain more understanding of Him and more appreciation of Him and his infinite attributes and ways.

Hi, Eric! I'm not sure exactly why some teachers say that. But I can say that every teacher I've come across who holds that position also teaches that Christians are required to keep the old covenant law.

You really can't renew an old covenant in that sense. You renegotiate it , but that is it. The different covenant was not a renewed covenant with house Israel, but different. There was a woman at church who wanted to change their satellite provider because they raising their premiums. So the lady manager told her she did need to do that , but they could renew their contract to make it cheaper. So they renewed their contract. It may have been in the contract that later on that their premiums would go up. Jesus doesn't or didn't renew the old covenant, he changed it to a different covenant.

I know these……why are misrepresenting them….. ? Let’s use the first one: Ecclesiastes 11:8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. For is [ a man lives ] many years,”let him rejoice” in the joy of the Torah; “and remember the days of darkness” - these are the bad days, “as they will be many.” The Torah the person studies in this world is vanity relative to the Torah of the messiah. Please read Iggeret HaGra 2. Shaarrei Teshuva 2:9 Aramaic Targum(Ecclesiastes 11:8:8) For if man lives many days in all of them he should rejoice and occupy himself with the Torah of ה. And let him remember the dark days of death and not sin. For many are the days which the deceased lie in the grave and it is appropriate for him to get judgment from the heavens for his life which he loved. All the time punishment will come on him for vanities he has done. Don’t manipulate Jewish literature to purport Christianity and Jesit correct…..simply because you must understand our words..

Rob, I love your videos. Very informative. I am 67 years old and a sinner saved by His Grace. My family and I regularly join for worship on Sunday. While I never questioned it, with the push by Torahists, I do wonder about 2 of the 10 Commandments. I know they reflect our focus vertically- our relationship with God- and horizontally-our relationship with each other. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy and Thou shalt not commit adultery. The Sabbath is on Friday at sunset till Saturday at sunset. As I understand it, after Jesus was killed, buried and resurrected, God dwells in us by the Holy Spirit and we worship Him everyday, yet we are not to forsake assembling with other believers. Some Torah followers define adultery only between a married woman and another man. A man, married or not, does not commit adultery as long as he takes care of the woman/women as he would a wife-thereby justifying polygamy.

Well, this is my friend's official reaction to your video. "Umm, sorry, but Hebrew meaning is not based on vowels. The meaning of “chadash” as new, never having been before is a Christianized theological interpretation, not a lexical meaning, as we can reinforce by the Aramaic cognates. Since he is a professor and theologian, he is skillful in the internals of the Christian theological worldview, and he is humble and respectful in his presentation. Love to talk over coffee. But mistaken premises make erroneous conclusions. His very definition of chet-dalet-shin at the beginning is theological not lexical." I will add I am not surprised at all by this. It's stuff like this, why I'm an Orthodox Christian. People can always grab a scripture, or some scriptural viewpoint or truth to try to validate what they want to do. In this case, your interpretation is not just your "Read of the Bible", also is the "The Faith Once delivered unto the saints", it represents the Faith that was preached, past down, and advocated by the ancient Christians of the Apostolic Age and beyond. This in contrast to my friends claims. He seems to assuming the existence of an Ancient Messianic Karaite Judaism, in spite of nothing like that that actually existing until maybe 720 AD, and not in the Holy Land or lands of the scattered churches in Turkey and Greece but in Iraq.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

That's a strange response from your friend, Pavel. It makes me think he is not personally familiar with biblical Hebrew. Of course vowels make a difference in meaning! Hebrew words are formed from consonantal roots by changing vowels and by adding prefixes and suffixes to that root. For example, the Hebrew root ספר can be a noun or a verb depending on the vowels used. That same root can mean: 1.) Book/letter (סֵ֣פֶר, Exod. 24:7), 2.) To count/measure (סְפֹר֙ Gen 15:5) 3.) A scribe or secretary (סּוֹפֵ֗ר Neh 13:13) Different vowels = different meanings. If vowels made no difference, why would the scribes even bother to use them? :-) Shalom! Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots Well in regards to my friend I knew there be some kind of Circular Reasoning at work. In terms of his claim, I think he is talking to about the early Lexicons from Philo of Alexandria into the New Testament Christian age. But as I have told him, his position has huge holes in it from a historical perspective. Besides citing scripture, Lexicons etc. I can point to ancient sources, especially the Apostolic Fathers and show "This is not just me claiming this, but folks of ancient times believed this too", this is the ancient witness of the Church". But there really are no ancient witness to a Messianic Synagogue system of NT times, or the age of the Apostolic and Nicene Fathers. Infact, the more deal on this issue the more painfully obvious why that is. Having official Messianic Synagogues, is at odds with having a unified Ecclesia/Church and Evangelizing the unbelieving Jews of the Temple and the local Synagogue.

You missed a key point at the beginning. There were no vowels in ancient Hebrew. Those words are spelt the exact same way in ancien greek and hebrew. The meanjng is decided based of the context. It had to mean renewed because if he made a brand new covanent he would be changing making him a liar. So those marks to distinguish the difference were made after they were written.

[@bertgoat]

you dont renew a covenant with blood and changing the priesthood . you make a new one

[@void5982]

@@bertgoat much more complex than that but alright. Assuming he made a "New" Covanent God changed his mind. Numbees 23 19. 1 Samuel 15. He also says many times in the Torah this is an eternal cov. When reading the Bible you can't pick your favorite verses and ignore whats in the whole book. Another concept is that the idea of a completley new covanent didn't come around for humdreds of years after Christ.

[@bertgoat]

@@void5982 you seem to do what you are accusing me of.The NT is replete with passages confirming the fulfilment of the old cov now replaced by the new. most of the eternal passages are unable to be fulfilled as there is no temple. Circumcision is another example of an everlasting covenant now being obsolete.

[@void5982]

@@bertgoat again circumsuiasm is not obsolete. That was another anti-semtic doctrine that came theough superseccision much after Christ. You also misunderstand the meaning of the "fulfillment". In Matthew 5 when Jesus says he fulfilled the Law the context shows he makes it more serious in a sense. And the Hebrew word used for fulfill here means to raise up. Also not everything in the "old testament" is even fulfilled yet. The end times are also prophecies have not happened yet.

[@bertgoat]

@@void5982 you clearly have no clue of what fulfilment means. Heb 8 v 23 In speaking of a new covenant he makes the first one obsolete.and what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. It was fulfilled when Christ died. heb 9 v15 -18 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

This is long. But the Jerusalem council was helpful. But the Gospel may have been already being corrupted. Acts 15 Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved." In essence these are the Judaizers. Means to teach people to practice Judaism as part of your sanctification not salvation. This is wrong and adds to the Gospel of Christ Who paid with His life to obedient to the Will of God to save mankind. Paul says here in Eph: But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 Links to an external site. For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 Links to an external site. by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 Links to an external site. and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 Links to an external site. AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18 Links to an external site. for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 Links to an external site. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, 20 Links to an external site. having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 Links to an external site. Links to an external site. in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 Links to an external site. in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. These men came from Jerusalem, which is problematic because they may have been in the church and corrupted the Gospel of Christ. 2 And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and debate with them, the brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. 3 Therefore, being sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and were bringing great joy to all the brethren. 4 When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them. They debated quite a bit until the church asked them to go to Jerusalem and get it sorted out. Paul would have kept the Gospel pure from 1 cor 15:1-4 but these people were coming behind and changing Paul's Gospel. 5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses." In other words, become a jew. James was most likely saying that they could learn the current bible (Epistles and letters not yet written) in the synagogue until about 118 when the Jews formerly kicked out the sect of the Christians. BTW if we believe in Christ we are all Christians as that is what the Holy Spirit called us in Acts. It does not matter what is going on in the church that is corrupting but it is for us to stand firm and show what is a true church. We are not to fold under any seeming assumptions we have. Stand with Christ. Be a follower of Christ. 6 The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. I am concerned about this verse because the leaders were Christ, and now the Pharisees are here who are pushing going back under the law when Christ freed us from the law. But why are there mixed messages? 7 After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. Preach it, brother Peter! 8 "And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; 9 and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. This is what happened to Abraham in Genesis 12. By Faith. By believing God’s word. But God who knows the heart…love this. And God made no distinction between us and them (aka Jew and Gentile), CLEANSING THEIR HEARTS BY FAITH! BY FAITH- BY FAITH. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, (such as trying to keep Torah) it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works (outward doing of the law), so that no one may boast. (not about us it is about Christ) Jew and Gentile disappear and become one in Christ Jesus if we believe on Him. We don’t join Israel or Judaism we join Christ. Eph 2:13ff (see above) 10 "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? This testing thing is serious business. Deut 8 discusses this. Do not test the Lord, and Jesus in His temptation, said the same. This would have stung that group of people trying to put people back under Judaism. Torah Keepers do not take your freedom in Christ and put others under a terrible burden that you know is not correct of picking and choosing which part of the Torah is one you can keep. 11 "But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are." Perfectly said. 12 All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. This put them on par with the Apostles and their authority. 13 After they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, "Brethren, listen to me. 14 "Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. 15 "With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 'AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, 17 SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,' 18 SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO. 19 "Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, 20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols WORSHIP OF OTHER gods. and from fornication (sexual immorality which was selfish and part of pagan temples) and from what is strangled and from blood. This is part of the worship of idols as well because the life is in the blood and one is literally drinking the animals life. Evil. 21 "For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath." 22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas-- Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, 23 and they sent this letter by them, "The apostles and the brethren who are elders, to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia who are from the Gentiles, greetings. 24 "Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls, 25 it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 "Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth. 28 "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: 29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell." 30 So when they were sent away, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31 When they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement. 32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message. Notice that another person named Judas was there. The other one betrayed the Lord Jesus, and this one lived his life for Christ! There was a lot of pressure to conform to the Torah and Jewish practices around Jerusalem and Judea. If I were a pharisee, I would rightly conclude that “why would God change what He gave to Abraham, which was circumcision showing we were in the Jewish faith? Wasn’t Jesus a Jewish Messiah after all? This pressure was huge because Paul seemed to be the only one (I may be wrong) that was persecuted by Jews, saying that Paul was teaching us away from Moses, which was wrong it was their commentaries of the law that were turned into the actual law. Peter was rebuked for giving into it. But some gentiles were starting to practice Judaism to fit into. We must follow Christ which actually moved away from Phariseeism to the Word of God. This is what we see today in Judaism.

[@torahtimes5380]

Evidently the word NEW may be used for something OLD. See 1 John 2:7-8. The concept of writing the law on the heart was an old one. See Deut. 30:6. The words are "not according to the covenant...when they broke my covenant" This does not specify different precepts. It only specifies that laws of condemnation will not need to be applied. And finally, Paul's message in Romans 10 is based on Deut. 30.

[@kylediaz3302]

I enjoy when we let scripture speak for itself. Mark 9:42-47 42 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me [i]to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life [j]maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to [k]hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched- 44 [l]where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into [m]hell, [n]into the fire that shall never be quenched- 46 where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into [o]hell fire- 48 where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ I don't need a PHD to know that the word "hell" is actually the word Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom/Tophet, read Jeremiah) which is a physical location just south of Jerusalem; not some mystical unknown place in the ether where people are burning in torment. I don't need a PHD to know that rabbinical teaching style (what Jesus is doing) is when a rabbi quotes a specific passage in the OT to his audience who knows the sentence he is quoting and also the contents of the entire book and its chapter(s). When Jesus speaks about the wicked being thrown into Gehenna, it is a physical location and it is a place in the future kingdom. How do we know? Go read the entire chapter of the quotation: Isaiah 66:22-24 “For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord, “So shall your descendants and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.” Well look at that, the quote, "their worm does not die, and their fire is not quenched," AKA the place the wicked will be tossed, this IS IN THE FUTURE KINGDOM when people will be coming up throughout the year for the Sabbath and Feasts days to worship before Him, and when they leave Jerusalem, all the nations during the kingdom will pass by the valley and look upon the corpses of those who transgressed against God. Where else do we see keeping of the Sabbath and Feast days in the "New heavens and New earth", in the New Jerusalem (Is 40-66, Zech, 14, Ez 37-48, Rev 21-22). Do you honestly think that when John says: Rev 22:1-3 22 And he showed me a [a]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." That he is just pulling this out of thin air; that this is something brand new that no one has ever heard of? John is just repeating what Ezekiel was already given: Ezekiel 47:1-12 12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”[d] But wait there is more: Rev 21:1-4 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Already established in the OT pointing to the future kingdom: Ezekiel 37:27 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” Isaiah 25:6-9 And in this mountain The Lord of hosts will make for all people A feast of [c]choice pieces (Feast of Tabernacles, the marriage super of the Lamb (Rev 19:9), A feast of [d]wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees. 7 And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death forever (1 Corth 15:26, Rev 20:14), And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces (Rev 21:4, Is 65:17-19); The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken. Rev 22:12 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Isaiah 62:11 (See also Isa 40:11) 11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed To the end of the world: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His [a]work before Him.’ ” Rev 22:16 16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” Isaiah 11:1-10 11 There shall come forth a [a]Rod from the [b]stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall [c]grow out of his roots. 2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. 10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.” There is only ONE plan for both the Jew and the Greek: Galatians 3:16-29 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Gen 12-17, the promise land to which Abraham never even set his foot in, Acts 7:3) The land inheritance promise was to Abraham and His Seed, Isaac and His Seed, Jacob and His Seed, and that Seed is Christ, and if you're in Christ you're an HEIR to THAT PROMISE! Via the resurrection of the dead and being given access to the tree of life (Rev 2:7) in which Adam was kicked out least he eat and live forever (Gen 3:22). Matthew 8:11 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Sit down with the fathers where? In a fluffily place in outer space? NO! In the New Jerusalem, here on earth in the promise land. Genesis 13:14-15 14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your Seed forever. Genesis 15:18 18 On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your Seed (Psalm 2) I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates- Isaiah 56 Salvation for the Gentiles 56 Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come, And My righteousness to be revealed. 2 Blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who lays hold on it; Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.” 6 “Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants- Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And holds fast My covenant- 7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." You don't think there will be symbolic sacrifices going on in the kingdom that points the nations to Christ as being the ultimate sacrifice? You're in for a rude awakening, read Ezekiel 44-45. The Torah is not dead, it is not a bondage/yoke it has always been a light. The yoke/bondage is that in order to be justified before God and receive eternal life you must keep the Law (His commandments) perfectly, "A man who does them shall live by them". Christ removed the curse of the law (which is death), the yoke/bondage, SO THAT we may THROUGH FAITH be just before God and receive eternal life. Leviticus 18:5 5 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am the Lord. But that DOES NOT mean that the commands that the Son gave to Moses to give to His people that HE HIMSELF held when He became flesh, then magically disappears. Not hating your brother (Matt 5:21-26 ) and loving them already existed in the OT (Lev 19:15-18); Jesus wasn't giving anything brand spanking new, He was repeating what He already gave thousands of years before He became flesh (John 1:18). Jesus constantly rebuked the doctrines and traditions of men that were added to the commandments given to Moses; He never said the Law(the commandments) were empty, worthless, bondage, a yoke, etc.

If Jesus could re-interpret the meaning of passover, what does that say about the reality of the old meaning? God does not change, but our meanings do.

All the stuff we see in the new testament epistles is about what I would call early Christianity, its's concerns are over how Communion is celebrated badly, sexual immorality in the Church, the nature of Baptism etc. If Messianic Judaism was true, you would think it would have caught some ancient historians eye. Since they like modern writers like write about interesting, unusual, even controversial topics. Not to mention, if this was all needed for our Faith you would think there would be some formal instruction on it in the New Testament context! Because people being people screw up, and often try to pervert something that is good and use it as an a opportunity for sin. And I got to say, if this was all true and the converted pagans were required to keep the Jewish Festivals, there would be some outrageous stuff going on in some corners of the world, where some folks would be wanting to these Jewish Festivals into Bacchanals, much like the Antinomian and heretical sects did in general with Christianity.
