His Character, Renown, Reputation, Authority and Salvation.
what name did He wish to build up for Himself not just what attribute...
Israel was known for the Mosaic Law and being the people chosen by God that the Messiah would eventually come through. It was a means to the end. He could have chosen any people group, it would have not changed the outcome - that salvation is for all mankind.
wow...you do play loose...and fast...
He chose a people group that came from Abram...one who was searching for a true God to the point he rejected his own father's gods and his people threw him out to wander...
Isreal/Hebrew was not chosen it was was because of that promise and covenant to its father Abram...
Obedience was the central foundation of this covenant with the seedline and even leaving Egypt some not of Abraham went along and were saved never the less and were assimilated as they obeyed...
Only from this obedient core including others grafted in and obedient to its Law (ruth) salvation came...
It's not an ethnic or cultural or tradition based Gospel. It is a brand new, unheard of, fresh.
Love your God was new and fresh? Lol even you neighbor as yourself was Levitical..what was new was the signer...and as that first exodus was not JUST for the blood line this reboot to exodus sin forever is open to those not of blood isreal...just like the former one...nothing new...just a new signatory with a new name...
Read Gal 3. The children of Abraham are all those who believe in Jesus Christ by faith, regardless of ethnicity, or culture, or religion, or tradition.
LOL that is my point...
I am merely trying to get those who believe to behave and live and love as a child of not only Abraham but of Yah...duh we are the same family and should reflect it by our fruits and actions
No it was not. According to Nehemiah and Ezra, all of Israel, gathered from all 12 tribes, were one nation who vowed to keep all the Law of Moses once more. It didn't last long of course.
The only place that you will read that all of the Israelite tribes reunited in Babylon, and returned together as one body to Canaan, is in the false and misguided theology of the religious opponents of the Two-House belief! Neither the Bible nor history support the idea of a mass return from Babylon of both Houses of Israel. Instead, the prophet Ezra stated, “...grace hath been showed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape...” (9:8) Again he emphasized, “We are left this day as a remnant.” (9:15, NIV) There is no question that Ezra, an eye-witness, documented that the majority of Israel remained in exile in other lands"

lol...ask JeremiYah...maybe a conspiracy to change the name? Lol we do know after Solomon Jews plunged Israel into a mortal civil war as they demanded steep taxes from their brothers to worship at the temple...
The Talmud legend is that there was an oral law given at Mt Sinai.
it was oral before it was written down...they were punished for the golden calf while it was only an oral law...
It is not fact. Jesus did not come to restore Israel to the Law. They already had it, written down and read every Sabbath.
and then Gentiles crowded to hear it too...
They didn't need Jesus for the Law of Moses.
LOL obviously they did...couldn't even get sabbath keeping right or all those other man made traditions that kept the people blinded for lack of the keys of knowledge...
John tells us that the Law and Prophets were until himself, then the Kingdom of God was preached - that is exactly what Jesus taught.
right and by that you add...so they were destroyed...lol
What are you talking about? It makes zero sense.
Lol that Jews threatened Rome? And Christians were a growing destabilizing revolution sect of Jews?...of course it makes sense...you just are not honest
More verbiage with no sources or documentation.
resorting to ad Homs means what?
I have seen the paintings of blonde and blue eyed baby Jesus seduce europrans to belief myself...
Jesus was born Jewish - ethnically - because God chose the Jewish nation as a means to the end. Through David's loins the King and Messiah came. But what Jesus taught and died for was all mankind, in a way that was contrary to the Moses Law.
just earlier you said He could have chosen anybody...lol
What was contrary? The method of death? Well Rome does Jews bidding...stoning is Moses law but they didn't kill Him...
or that what He died for was for all mankind?...the old temple already was for any and all who believed and obeyed
Paul never denied it, because he taught it ... :doh: Paul was all about bringing peace to any situation ... well, except when he stirred up the pharisees against the saducees to save his own behind. But when it came to the Jews, he played it very smart - he kept the Law when he was with them, but when he was with the Gentiles, he did not. His motive and intent was to promote the Gospel of Christ and whatever it took to do it. He did not even keep the Law himself per his own words and actions.
now you sound like the false accusers of Paul...more and more like sabbath defining Pharisees

I have no idea why you are promoting this myth.
What myth? It even broke its calander so as not to wait for Jews to call out the time of Passover...lol
And holding on to unleavened bread is Jewish indeed as if it was a Passover meal...not even EOs go that far...
You are an expert at going off on tangents. This has nothing to do with anything we are discussing.
Sure it does...from not retaining the name to Sunday keeping, Mary worship, hell/purgatory, idolatry, ham eating, blood drinking magic rites all from pagan traditions in a desire to deny the the origins and appeal to Europe...
Are you suggesting that we walk up the hill to Calvary bearing the sins of the whole world and being nailed to cross in order to do WJWD? :noway::help:
He said take up your cross...and follow me...
1 John 2:6 He that said he stays in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
