God told the people to go down to Egypt, but He did not tell them to settle down and stay there. It was not their promised land.

Isaiah 53:5, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, 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. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH, Obedience to God's command. God told Noah to build an ark to be saved. Noah believed and responded by building the ark. Mark 16:16. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ so people can get saved the right way. God bless you!

I'm surprised Tom Wright gets it wrong on the Passover not being for forgiveness of sins. The Passover was the beginning of the feast of Unleavened bread which is 7 days...and leaven is the symbol of SIN. In other words the eating of unleavened bread is sins pardoned..

[@bobbyvalentine9108]

Leaven is not a symbol of sin. The Passover? Israel was indeed commanded to remove all the yeast from the house. But here we simply do not read the Scriptures very closely. The yeast/leaven is not removed, according to Exodus, because it is unclean. The unleaven bread symbolizes the HASTE in which Israel left. They were in such a hurry there was not time to even make bread. In the Passover it is the bitter herbs that remind Israel of the misery and suffering of slavery in Egypt. The bitter herbs might be considered a negative image . There are sacrifices in which leaven is excluded as well but the rational is never given. On the other side of the coin, leaven/yeast is commanded to be used in thanksgiving /fellowship offerings to Yahweh. The leavened bread is offered to the Lord and eaten (Lev 7.13ff). "With your thanksgiving of well-being you shall bring your offering with cakes of leavened bread." This is one of the most common offerings in the Hebrew Bible. The regulations for the the Feast of First Fruits/Weeks/Pentecost is very different than Passover on the matter of leaven/yeast. No requirement for avoiding yeast is to be found anywhere. Such would have been impractical at best. Grapes and barely harvest are pretty difficult to not have yeast. Grapes naturally have yeast that live on the skin (and if we think leaven is microbes, you would think God knew about those invisible things on the grape) and begin to make wine the instant the skin is broken and barley is used in the beverage known as beer. There was a reason the disciples could have been accused of being slightly intoxicated on Pentecost, because "leaven/yeast" is not excluded from Pentecost. But without any of that, leaven/yeast is simply commanded. "You shall bring your from your home two loaves of bread as an elevation offering, each made with two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of choice flour, baked with yeast/leaven, as first fruits to the LORD …" (Lev 23.17) This leavened bread is offered along with the leavened drink offering (wine), you invite the priest and the poor and then eat and drink in the presence of the Lord. I add that the shewbread used in the daily offerings in the Temple were made out of leavened bread. Clearly not unclean. The Lord Jesus compares the kingdom of God to leaven, surely he is not casting negativity on the kingdom. "He told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like yeast/leaven that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until it was all leavened" (Mt 13.33) "And again he said, 'To what should I compare the kingdom of God? It is like yeast/leaven that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened." (Lk 13.20-21). Yeast/leaven is another one of the wonderful examples of what simply assuming can do.
