It's where the tradition comes from. You claimed "It was a ritual cleansing invented by the Pharisees and had nothing to do with any command in the Bible". You implied it was fabricated out of thin air by the pharisees. Nice goal post move though.

And that wouldn't be correct, as Exodus 30 commands the creation of a washing basin within the temple that was to be used before the preists come near to minister 'food' offerings to the Lord. The Bronze Basin 17 The LORD said to Moses, 18 "You shall also make a basin of bronze, with its stand...

I have normally been staunchly against the Torah observant gentiles, but I am learning to live and let live. Truth is most Messianics are gentiles, and this won't change till Messiah comes back. I don't preach Torah observation I try to be true to God and myself and pray others do likewise.

Actually, this is where many Christians have been taught incorrectly by the church fathers thru the doctrine of supersessionism. (Edit, ToS 2.4, unwanted spiritual advice, personal insult. Obadiah) Romans 7 13Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be...

Yisrael was promised to be elected, not just called. 28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. In regards to being called (the gospel) they are enemies, as you are so easy to make them out...

I have, you've rejected them as nonsense. How about understanding the dual condition of Yisrael in Rom 11:28? 'enemies' YET 'beloved'........ Could you specify the love for Yisrael that God promised would endure forever? When you realize this you may just see the irrevocable calling given...

THE DUAL STATUS OF ISRAEL IN ROMANS 11:28 This seminary article not only identifies your questions but answers them very well.

Extremely coherent...... using the same chapter as the OP discussion states that you gentiles are supported by the root, not that you support the root. It also warns not to become proud because of your grafting in but to fear, because if God did not spare the natural branches but proceeded to...

Two good responses. I too have indicated such in another thread. But was only relegated to nonsense. The context is quite clear, and the conclusion is seemingly understood by most laymen and scholars. This is what happens when someones bias overrules logical reason. Not only has God not...

Hey! where is the OCF sticker in the window!! ?? :wave2:dancing

I miss my 68'. Sold it to a young kid who cracked the block and then called me back to ask help..... told him I didn't know what to say. I rebuilt it all and kept it running....he obviously ran it hot. Inexperienced kids wanting a Vdub....... I think I had to change the head cover gaskets...

Yes, I realized you can't see it at all. But it's there for you to discover. :)

It always amazes me how people here are refuting what I say only to approve of it in their own understanding. Yes, believers are indwelt with the Spirit of God, while living in the flesh. Much reason to dance. So you don't believe in the world to come heaven comes down to earth? Rev 21 2...

You're one of the few I find smaller. But yes, God has promised, it will happen. Moses and the prophets all speak of it. As I have said before: The prophets speak of the return of the remnant of Israel. And in those texts, the return of the King and the connection to the new covenant are...

There shouldn't be any boasting, agreed. But the doctrine of supersessionism that has completely engulfed Christendom is one huge boast against the natural branches.
