But how does that contribute to your argument that I'm wrong.
Christ's sermons in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke do not support the later Pauline assertion that Christ was the end of the law.
I am saying bluntly, your (like many) rejection of the majority of the Mitzvot is, well, blasphemous catholic hypocrisy. A marketing decision by a 1st century bullshit artist who called himself an apostle despite not being at the proverbial table.
I have a friend who is a messianic Jew. Should we all be like that as Christians? Christ definitely said he didn’t come to destroy but to fulfill the law. Like with eating pork, I always saw the vision that Peter had to be permission
As I understand Christ's teachings...
Christians should aim to exceed the Jewish by not only keeping the law but also forsaking malice for forgiveness. Basically that even the crude law of Moses was just a tool for the times. Christians are not freed of it, rather they are tasked by Christ to transcend it. That simply living by the letter of the law isn't sufficient.
Now, on that note...
There are a couple items in Leviticus that I'm prepared to say probably could be scratched out, like the prohibitions on certain foods. Any time Leviticus marks something EXTERNAL TO HUMAN NATURE AND BEHAVIOR as bad, it is borne out of primitive science, and fair game for scrutiny.
We knew back then that trichinosis existed, but we couldn't explain what it was, so it was lumped into the category of things which are simply bad.
And the fact that some things are labeled an abomination is another thing all together
MMMhmmm.
Consider "eye for an eye". The Law of Moses sets out a practical minimum for the functioning of a state. Blood for blood. But Christ basically says that while this is the law, it's not the ideal of behavior that you should approve of seeing the murderer "justly" die. This doesn't reflect well on YOU, and Christ's message is about you the individual, your behavior, and your relationship to God.
Paul is the only reason there are still jews today..... If it wasn't for paul separating the Christians from jews there would be no jews....Who shaped Christianity today? Paul and the catholic church..... A new covenant.... and the "mitzvah, any commandment, ordinance, law, or statute contained in the Torah (first five books of the Bible) and, for that reason, to be observed by all practicing Jews" ya i reject that shit.....
That is what you believe.
I believe Paul was where it all went wrong.
..... Ya duh..... If it wasn't for paul all jews would be christians and we wouldn't have all these problems due to jewish life styles.
But you still believe in putting your faith in Christ. I am unfamiliar with quakers outside of the fact they were anti-slavery. What are your main beliefs? I mean outside of the fact salvation is through Jesus
Actually it might surprise you that Quakers, all the way back to George Fox, say very little about salvation at all.
The main thrust of Quakerism has always been about living by the Sermons of the Mount and the Plain, and thus bringing about the kingdom of heaven on Earth.
You know how the Muslims insist that there will be peace when the whole world is united in worship of Allah? We're basically the peacenik version of that same argument.
Growing up in the 90's in a Quaker town, I heard Bill & Ted's "be excellent to each other" quip a lot.
