Ken4Christ: Not True! For the Law is "It is the Authority who Expressed A Law that Must Abolish or Repeal that same Law"! Thus Christ Having Expressly Declared that He had not come to Repeal or Abolish the Law meaning that the Law is Still in Force, Must then Expressly Declare that He has Abolished that Law. And seeing as He has Not Done So, nor did He Ever So Declare the Abolishment or Repeal of same, thus the Law Remains in Full Force! You Wrongly and Erroneously Rely on Paul, for Paul being the Lower, Has No Authority to Repeal a Law Expressed by His Superior and Never at anytime, Repealed by that Same Authority, Exactly as a Lower Court Cannot go outside the Precedent laid by a Higher Court not to talk of "Abolishing" the Pronouncement of a Higher Court! Haba, This Can Never Be Done! Thus You do Err. Further, You do Paul a Great Injustice, in that Paul, above all Persons, being a Lawyer and a very Astute one at that knows this Too Well and Would Never seek to Undermine nor go Contrary to Superior Orders/Pronouncement of the Law! 1 Like 1 Share |

You can't eat your cake and have it! Only JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES can substantiate with the scriptures that Christians don't need the Mosaic laws anymore but since you're against us then face your warrant. Jesus said you people will never agree on anything called FAITH because FAITH belongs only to those who want to subject themselves to the truth and it's obvious that you guys don't want that so there will never be PEACE among you!

Ken4Christ: I knew you will go there! I just set Aright this Acts 15 with another here a few days back! Let me take short-cut, 1) First, you do understand that Verse 1 clearly shows how The Law can be perverted, which I spoke of? Then Verse 21 shows you the Answer to that Pervertion to wit- "Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us (The same in Verse 1) have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised... 2) Do you see that the quarrel was based on keeping The Law given to Moses? Verse 5 Sheybi dey were the Disciples of Christ and were with Christ, so how then would The Law of Moses be an Issue among their own members (not another group oh) if they were not teaching in Accordance to the Spirit of The Law? Verily, they must teach "the law" of which you speak about and their members must teach it, Exactly as A JW must teach JW things! And since they Truly taught The Law of Moses, what then was the Consideration was it not based on The Law of Moses? Verse 13, James Answers, Restating The Law "It is Written" as Christ does in Verse 15, not the New Law which you erroneously lay but an "It Is Written!" Thanks be To The Lord that James was at that Resolution of The Law for He Clearly and Unequivocally and Unambiguously said James 1:25 "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 2:8, 11, 12. "If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 [b]So speak ye, and so do,l as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. Hope you see Now, you have further assisted me in Establishing that The Law Given to Moses is Very Much in Force and that it was not "Abolished" as you erroneously said! I thank you for compelling me to dig deeper into this issue, therefore I pray The Good Lord give you a blessing and with it more understanding, through Christ Jesus, The Lord, Our God! Thank you! Ken4Christ: No sir, I am not. I love Truths very very much, even if I do not like it. And All Truths are Verifiable and Consistent since they are Established and Backed by The Power of God in being Very Very Solid like the Solid Ground Under Feet and not Swampy Grounds or Slippery Surfaces or Fragile Glass Grounds!

Ken4Christ: 20? 20 Reads? Now you are trying to Bury Me with unreasonable burdens, hope you know this clearly shows that your claim is VERY WEAK and therefore it is not True, For Truth is A Solid Rock like Law, sorry Wall! It is The Law, "Truth is Not Established by a Sea of Heads"! But I'll examine them, though ye ought to know that you have been running all over the place trying to flee! |

Get Ready to Fall Again! Ken4Christ: 1. John 1:17. - Interpretation "For The Law was given by Moses, (and was Subverted by the people) but grace and Truth (of The Law) came by Christ (Brought back by Christ)" 2. Acts 13:39- "And by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which he could not be justified by the (Subverted) law of Moses. 3. Acts 15:5,6,10,11,24,29.(Disposed Already) 4. Romans 3:20,28 Therefore, by the deeds (doings, thank God Again you raised this for was the doings of the law good? Malachi 2:8 and The Prophets have Already Answered you) of the (Subverted) Law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight; by the (Subverted) law is the knowledge of sin! Oya, take Am! |

Repetition will not give it your validity! 10. Galatians 2:16-21- Same as John 1:17 Ehen, I have done away with 10!

Ken4Christ: 11. Galatians 3:10-13 - "...no man is justified by the law..." If you do not abide by The Law, howcan you be justified by it? (Meaning, how can you raise it up as your Defence?) Impossible! 13 "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of The Law (in that since you do not continue in all that is written in the book of Law to do them, YE ARE CURSED!) But Since Christ has Restored the Righteous Law, if ye do them, ye are escaped from the Curse! 12. Galatians 3:17-18 Another Self-cide for it clearly says "Christ is The Law". Now shall Christ Abolish Himself.abd and commit Selfcide like you? Never! 13. Galatians 3:19,21, 24,25 The Law was our school master to bring us unto Christ. Did I not say this earlier and you affirmed it? See Ken4Christ: 14. Galatians 4:4-5 "To redeem them that were under the (Perverse) Law!" 15. Galatians 5:1-6 - same as No 11. "He who keeps not The Law can not be defended by it"! 16. Ephesians 2:15 "Having abolished in his flesh, even The Law of Commandments contained in ordinances; (The physical and Corrupted Versions of The Law) 17. Colossians 2:14, 20 Repetition, of No 11 and 16 18. and 19. Hebrews 7:12/ :18,19 See how you are Unlearned? You know not The Law nor the difference thereof! This Statement pertains to The Law of The Priest and Priesthood Not The Law Of Laws which you erroneously contend with me 20. Hebrews 8:6-8 8 For finding fault with them... (What fault?

Dtruthspeaker: You are a spiritual fraudster. Let's take some of the Scriptures one after the other. Interprete the Scriptures below; Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST, and NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS of THE THE LAW. |

Got this from a jewish lady of facebook...happy reading.. Jews do not recognize the god of the NT, and it seems that #for_some_Christians, #they_do_not_recognize_the_Elohm_of_the_Tanakh. And here’s why. ~ by Sara Finegan The Tanach is, essentially, a record of the first years of a love affair between The Most High and the Jewish People. It contains love poetry (Song of Songs), poems of longing and passion (Psalms), advice and wisdom (Proverbs), allegory (Job, Garden of Eden, etc), history (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Exodus, Return to the Land, judges, Kings and Chronicles) and records of times when we were at odds with Elohm(Prophets). The structure of our relationship is set forth in the Torah, specifically Numbers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy, but the love, the passion, the abiding and nurturing relationship itself is in the poetry and prose. When Jews read the Tanach, we hold it close, so close to our hearts, and savor the language, the messages of hope and longing by reading passages over and over again, digging ever-more deeply into the nuances and meanings. When we read the words of the Prophets, we don’t focus on the anger and the frustration of The Most High, but His eternal longing for us to return, His desire to remain close to us, His commitment to stay with us even when we stray. When Christians read the Tanach, they don’t have the same relationship with The Most High, and it’s not a book for and about them. So they read it differently. In their search for meaning, they look for proof: �proof about Jesus, about the replacement of the Jews with believers in Jesus, proof that The Most High has somehow abandoned the Jewish people�. Or, they look at the negative: the anger, the frustration, then threats. They don’t see that as part of a process, a cycle of forgiveness and redemption, but as a sign of Elohm's harsh punishment and that people are bad. The New Testament is a set of texts: four gospel narratives, a fifth narrative that continues Luke, a bunch of letters from Christian leaders, and a mystical document. Christians read it as the word of Elohm. Their understanding of Word of Adon-i is that it’s all about His love for the world. It’s precious to them, and they read and reread it as love letters from their god. They don’t believe that there are contradictions or conflict between the letters, the gospels, etc. To them, it’s all The Most High's love. When Jews read the New Testament, we see it as a very strange set of conflicting documents that barely hang together. The four gospels are radically different and even contradictory�. The Jesus that is portrayed in them is barely recognizeable as a Jew of his time. The generalizations about the larger Jewish community are laughable and simplistic. None of it feels realistic in any way. The epistles, mostly from Paul, are viewed as filled with antagonism and hostility toward Jews and Judaism�. The tone is so negative that we can barely stand to read them. The epistle of James, with its barely-disguised hatred of Paul, is more bearable and more recognizeable as coming from some Jewish thought. Revelation is incomprehensible and horrific. We do not recognize our The Most High, the Elohm of Israel, in the New Testament. Our Elohm could not, would not, has not behaved as the Elohm is represented in the NT. We do not have the same world view as the writers of the NT nor the same hopes. It’s no wonder that there is conflict between Judaism and Christianity. The suprise is really that Christians so desperately want there to be peace and harmony between us, that they want to be connected to Judaism in any way. To Jews, after reading the NT, it seems absurd to think that Christians, with their world view and theology, would want to have anything to do with us. They de-Judaized Jesus, they promoted the writing of a traitor to Judaism, and their belief is that Judaism has been replaced in Elohm’s eyes. How are we supposed to react to them and to their religion? We Jews keep our distance. As the prayer goes: “JC keep your followers far away from us!”. Christians keep trying to step closer. We won’t stop pulling away so long as they don’t stop trying to change us. They keep moving toward us because they want us to change. It’s a weird dance. And the melody is confusing. |

See yourself, after you have made me carry a Trailer Load of Cement now you are back to one, one bag of cements! Ken4Christ: My Answer is Still Not going to change! ." If you do not Abide, Follow or Obey The Law, how is it possible that you can or could be Defended or Protected by it? (Justify means "Defence" or 'Protected') If you do not obey the law on Insurance, how can you claim the benefit of insurance? Or if you have not fulfilled the requirements of being a Doctor, how can you be Defended by The Laws of Medical Practice? Simple, He who does not obey The Law can not be expected to be Protected or Defended by it! Ken4Christ: Justification Comes From Righteousness or Rightness isn't that what The Lord Jesus taught? "Seek ye first the kingdom of God AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS Not your rightness or my rightness or any man's rightness but God's Rightness! Now Where can you find God's Righteousness? Only in His Laws! Not man's laws which the descendants of Israel upheld. Where do you find His Laws? In The Original Laws Given and Taught Moses, who further taught them Ken4Christ: The word "WITHOUT THE DEEDS of THE THE LAW" answers you, for "Deeds" means "Doings and what was the Doings of The Law, was it Righteous or Unrighteous? Malachi 2:6 and Your Romans 3 Already Answers you particularly Verses 9-19 1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that UNTO THEM WERE COMMITTED THE ORACLES OF GOD. 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, THERE IS NONE THAT Seeketh After God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD, NO, NOT ONE. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There Is No Fear Of God Before Their Eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. And These Statement Is A JUDGEMENT As Given By A Court! A JUDGEMENT OF LAW! And Who on earth is NOT UNDER THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Whether given to Moses or Not! Are we not all already under The Law of Good/Righteousness and Evil/unrighteousness and are we not Already going to be Judged Under These Laws? This is what you do not know neither have you Considered that, No Man is above this Law and can Never be! We are all Judged and are going to be Judged by The Laws of Rightness (Righteousness) vs. Wrongness; Goodness (Righteousness) vs. Evil! Psalm 9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness 1 Like |

sonmvayina: They did not even abide by what is wrongfullly called the "old testament" neither did they even want to keep to it. So, now, whether they accept it or not, it has now been taken out of their hands and their thoughts and opinions of it has been completely dispensed with since they themselves never Truly Kept it or Wanted It, in the first place! |

sonmvayina:This author got it backwards. Some of the problems Christians even have are related to the violence and problems in the old testament. Tell me what is so loving about Elohim killing 70,000 Isrealites simply because David made a mistake by taking census? Elisha was insulted by some young people and immediately they were devoured by wild animals from the bush. The new testament through the gospels of jesus gives the light to view the old testament. The new testament is not a replacement of the old testament, it is a continuation of God's relationship with Isreal, only this time it fulfills the promise to Abraham: In thy seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. |

OkCornel:So, I did a bit of searching and found a site that has a list that is up to about 49 long, and even that list is missing at least 4 other commandments that I am sure of(listed below). Here is the link so, check it out for yourself. https://iblp.org/questions/what-are-commands-christ I wish it were easier to simply summarize each commandment but by doing that, one easily becomes guilty of injecting one's own "interpretation" into the original message 1. Do not subscribe to doctrines and traditions of men ** substituted from another Bible translation for better understanding of what is impacted 2. It is not what you eat that makes you unclean
3. Abide in Jesus Christ and He will abide in You
4. Become free from sin by accepting and obeying the commandments of Jesus Christ
