    I believe that all who are in Christ are no longer under the old Covenant law

    As I've shown in other topics the Covenant God made with Israel is also for those who join themselves unto Israel. Its for each and everyone of us. As for Temple sacrifices nobody that I know of actually thinks any such practice can atone or take away my sin. If you read Jewish commentary over...

    I believe that all who are in Christ are no longer under the old Covenant law

    I agree Jesus said he did not come here to destroy the law rather he came to fulfill the law which means to carry it out. But grace is something we've always had as example: king David accused of adultery, murderer of his own, conspiracy. Breaks down, repents and pleads for forgiveness, and...

    I believe that all who are in Christ are no longer under the old Covenant law

    The Gospel itself refutes your opinion, for in Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus says to his disciples, "Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I am not come to destroy but to fulfill; for verily I say unto you, till Heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass...

    I read here and there a little of this and a little of that. I have read some of Ramban, Rambam, and Sefaria (being my favorite) because its a one stop shop for information in english. Contemporary teachers I learn from the most are Meir Rekhavi and Yochanan Zaqantov. Though I must admit I...

    Why do you believe?

    For me. The greatest self revelation of a Creator is the creation It brought into being. The idea that the light like energy of creation became alive and sentient, not only alive but self aware and acquired the ability to wonder. The wonder isn't that creation took six days or 14 billion years...

    Realizing the bible was canonized by ecumenical councils over long periods of years....

    I disagree, "...let not the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to Yehovah, speak, saying, Yehovah shall surly separate me from His people. And the stranger who joins with Yehovah to serve Him and to love the name of Yehovah, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from...

    How Does A False Prophet Become A False Prophet?

    For me it is clear no one person is ever considered a false prophet until they attempt the following found in Deuteronomy13. 1. One who has "spoken to turn you away from Yehovah" 2. When the things predicted "follow not, nor come to pass" 3. Or one who suggests the worship of a strange god, even...

    Bible Study This doesn't make sence.

    Not easy to answer in fact I don't think we can at this time know for sure. I will say this though I believe it has everything to do with the creation of the universe. One ancient sage Moses ben Nahman thought the deeper meaning of "evening" to morning" had to do with turning "chaos" into...

    Doctrine of the Trinity – Is it Fundamental to the Christian Faith

    I think the latin term for that type of reasoning is called argumentum ad ignorantiam (appeal to ignorance) the fallacy that a proposition is true simply on the basis that it has not been proved false or that it is false simply because it has not been proved true. However I can articulate my...

    Doctrine of the Trinity – Is it Fundamental to the Christian Faith

    Starting in the Great Protestant Reformation many re-examined the New Testament translation and rejected a number of later Catholic and Orthodox doctrines as being incompatible with common sense, reason and apostolic doctrines. Many leaders of the Great Reformation initially de-emphasized the...

    Doctrine of the Trinity – Is it Fundamental to the Christian Faith

    "The Doctrine of the Trinity and Jewish Monotheism The doctrine of the trinity is not accepted by judaism. This religious group claims albeit falsely to worship the Father, which is one of the persons of the so-called Christian godhead." Just an FYI you may make better headway if can tell me...

    Truly, who are we, and why are we here?

    We may be the wisdom of God. In the very opening of B'raisheet we are informed the clay of existence, the substrate from which every aspect of the world emanates, is totally ethereal wisdom that finds its origins in the infinite wisdom of God ("God said..."). That something intangible, as...

    Bible Study Genesis 1

    To think sixty or so years ago science just knew the universe was eternal. Today however it has been discovered it did indeed have a beginning. The creation of time-space and energy, the metamorphosis of light beams of that energy of creation into particles of matter. Yet those particles from...

    Why do we accept or reject Christ Jesus?

    Speaking as one of 'those' :) . I can only answer for myself. My reason for rejecting another's religion is based on my own opinion and understanding of Torah. Its what I've been given and instructed to use to compare against what others tell me. "You must follow Yehovah your God and revere...

    Bible Study Creator Jesus In The Old Testament.

    Dude really? I get it you disagree with my opinion but insulting my intelligence as your premise takes a great deal away from your arguement. Its a bible study remember? Not everyone knows how to pronounce it because they are continually told nobody know how to pronounce it. On top of that The...

    Bible Study Creator Jesus In The Old Testament.

    It is true Yeshua or the english Joshua means 'Yehovah saves'. I agree with that. Yehovah does save! Halleluyah! But reading from the book of Shemot it is written God himself said he has but one name which he shall be known by. Thus shall you say to the people of Israel, Yehovah God of your...

    Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

    We are under duty to study his torah in order to understand and obtain a knowledge of his instruction. But to study it in order to attain worldly benefits is forbidden. Our teachers said: "[expounding the verse:] 'to love the Yehovah your God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him'. This...
