Leviticus

[Dev]

Recently I've been attempting to defend God's word online, and I'm getting a lot of responses like this:
"If the bible is God's law, and you claim to follow the law, why don't you follow the laws of the Torah? If leviticus was really written by inspired men, then God is seriously messed up."
I really don't know what to think about this, I thought Jesus fulfilled the Law so that we don't have to...? Apparently, Galatians "proves that we should follow the Old testament" with this link: http://www.eliyah.com/galatianskjv.html

take note no gentile was at horeb and thus we arent under that law
they missed the commands given by the council in acts 15.

and ignorant of the hebrew they claim to espouse!

no jew following the law or messainic ever calls God elohim. they will say G-D or HESHEM.

the third commandment is why. so they dont bother.

so we need to be doing the shabat, the feasts? hmm how odd.

:toofunnyi'm sorry but this part here about God's name being elohim is a laugh. here is how i know they are gentiles.

elohim is not origininally in hebrew but since its a plural form of el and also means a God the chief congress of gods and was a akkadian/chaldean belief. that is where abraham came from and was told by noah. who that God was.

if you look at genesis as an apologetic to abraham and then told by moses with an exodus bias(abraham never had the YHWH name given to him)

then it will make sense in what i say. yes we know that JESUS isnt his real name but why then did the apostles write in greek? is hebrew the HOLY language of God? i dont see it that way.

and yes ELOHIM IS considered a name by the jews but not often used.

its like saying GOD , well he has a name and its given its called the YHWH for a reason
exodus 6

3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

and for the hebrew of that.

yes it does have YHWH for that but listen to what he says.

and i will give the commentary for by adam clarke.

Verse 3. By the name of God Almighty
EL-SHADDAl, God All-sufficient; God the dispenser or pourer-out of gifts. See Clarke on Genesis 17:1.
But by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
This passage has been a sort of crux criticorum, and has been variously explained. It is certain that the name Jehovah was in use long before the days of Abraham, see Genesis 2:4, where the words Jehovah Elohim occur, as they do frequently afterwards; and see Genesis 15:2, where Abraham expressly addresses him by the name Adonai JEHOVAH; and see Genesis 15:7, where God reveals himself to Abraham by this very name: And he said unto him, I am JEHOVAH, that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees. How then can it be said that by his name JEHOVAH he was not known unto them? Several answers have been given to this question; the following are the chief:-1. The words should be read interrogatively, for the negative particle lo, not, has this power often in Hebrew. "I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the name of God Almighty, and by my name Jehovah was I not also made known unto them?" 2. The name JEHOVAH was not revealed before the time mentioned here, for though it occurs so frequently in the book of Genesis, as that book was written long after the name had come into common use, as a principal characteristic of God, Moses employs it in his history because of this circumstance; so that whenever it appears previously to this, it is by the figure called prolepsis or anticipation. 3. As the name JEHOVAH signifies existence, it may be understood in the text in question thus: "I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by my name God Almighty, or God All-sufficient, i.e., having all power to do all good; in this character I made a covenant with them, supported by great and glorious promises; but as those promises had respect unto their posterity, they could not be fulfilled to those fathers: but now, as JEHOVAH, I am about to give existence to all those promises relative to your support, deliverance from bondage, and your consequent settlement in the promised land." 4. The words may be considered as used comparatively: though God did appear to those patriarchs as JEHOVAH, and they acknowledged him by this name, yet it was but comparatively known unto them; they knew nothing of the power and goodness of God, in comparison of what the Israelites were now about to experience.
I believe the simple meaning is this, that though from the beginning the name JEHOVAH was known as one of the names of the Supreme Being, yet what it really implied they did not know. El-Shaddai, God All-sufficient, they knew well by the continual provision he made for them, and the constant protection he afforded them: but the name JEHOVAH is particularly to be referred to the accomplishment of promises already made; to the giving them a being, and thus bringing them into existence, which could not have been done in the order of his providence sooner than here specified: this name therefore in its power and significancy was not known unto them; nor fully known unto their descendants till the deliverance from Egypt and the settlement in the promised land. It is surely possible for a man to bear the name of a certain office or dignity before he fulfils any of its functions. King, mayor, alderman, magistrate, constable, may be borne by the several persons to whom they legally belong, before any of the acts peculiar to those offices are performed. The KING, acknowledged as such on his coronation, is known to be such by his legislative acts; the civil magistrate, by his distribution of justice, and issuing warrants for the apprehending of culprits; and the constable, by executing those warrants. All these were known to have their respective names, but the exercise of their powers alone shows what is implied in being king, magistrate, and constable. The following is a case in point, which fell within my own knowledge.
A case of dispute between certain litigious neighbours being heard in court before a weekly sitting of the magistrates, a woman who came as an evidence in behalf of her bad neighbour, finding the magistrates inclining to give judgment against her mischievous companion, took her by the arm and said, "Come away! I told you you would get neither law nor justice in this place." A magistrate, who was as much an honour to his function as he was to human nature, immediately said, "Here, constable! take that woman and lodge her in Bridewell, that she may know there is some law and justice in this place." Thus the worthy magistrate proved he had the power implied in the name by executing the duties of his office. And God who was known as JEHOVAH, the being who makes and gives effect to promises, was known to the descendants of the twelve tribes to be THAT JEHOVAH, by giving effect and being to the promises which he had made to their fathers.

any studious jew or christian would have know this.

gentile pretenders most likely. so when the temple is restored and also the animal sacrifice are these"jews" going to do the full deal with yom kippur and rosh hoshana?

hmm i thought that the cross and the blood of the lamb is all cleansing and not needed for repentance. so when they say the law then do they also slay unbelievers and etc?

what parts do they pick to believe.
