Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

Are you resurrected? I have no idea if I ever have been. Yes! I've died and been resurrected with Christ, because Scripture promises my faith expressed in a prayer of trust to YHWH has accomplished what the Law and my flesh could never do through a once-for-all perfect sacrifice! You can also exper...

Re: I have a question about observing God’s commands in ligh

Jacob, let me pose a question to you. Your Facebook says that you are "Jewish and Christian by choice." What makes you Jewish on top of being a Christian? I observe things found in God's Law, which relates to the old covenant and hopefully the rest of the Old Testament, being a new covenant believe...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

At the time of Christ's life, he was a Jew living under the Law, amidst other Jews still under the Law - as he had yet to institute the new covenant. So his Law following, and even advocation to people such as the healed leper, would be examples of living within the old dynamics into which he arriv...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

Jacob, In one of your emails to me today, you say you hope you are not a bother. Are you serious? You have emailed me no less than nine times today, in addition to calling my program this morning and also yesterday afternoon (where I gave a third of the hour to answering the same question that you ...

Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

God has made many covenants with man. I believe Jesus observed and taught the Law. Should Jews and Gentiles observe the commands of Jesus to include those found in the entirety of His earthly ministry? The following link is where this question was asked of Steve Gregg on The Narrow Path www.thenarro...

Re: The death penalty, society, and the new covenant.

Jacob, Which parts of The Law of Moses do you keep and how do you decide? Neither Jesus nor the Apostles separated the law into ceremonial, moral, legal, etc. It all stands or falls together. Didn't Paul say that if you are circumcised you must keep all of the law? Those who think the LOM is still ...

Re: The death penalty, society, and the new covenant.

I do not believe the law hold me captive. Why do you think you, as a law-keeper, are not held captive, while Paul affirms that the law-keepers he was addressing WERE held captive by the law?
