The End of the Jewish Religion and the Law

According to Eccles. 7:20, "There has never been a man upon earth to have done only good and never sinned." Jesus was a man upon earth for 33 years of his life.

You know him, Jesus; so when he returns, you'll be surprised. :noway: Mute point. We'll all be corrected when the two witnesses arrive (Mt 24:14, Re 11). :poly:

The bride has to get her face in order, too. :freak:

"Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the Spirit and behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to the bottom; and the earth did quake and rocks were rent" Matthew 27:50, 51.

Jesus was atoning for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. He was also abolishing the Old Covenant, the law and the Jewish religion.

The veil of the temple was the veil that covered the "Holy of Holies", Exodus 26:33. This was indeed a very significant event. It signifies that the worship of God is no longer mediated through law or religion. It also signifies that God is with us in the person of Jesus Christ and not in a Jewish temple.

The "Holy of Holies" was the heart of the temple and temple worship. No "Holy of Holies" meant the end of the Jewish religion and the law. Paul had much trouble convincing the Jews that they were no longer required to live according to laws, rules and the Jewish religion. Many of the apostles and others, could not accept the fact that the Jewish religion had been abolished. Paul's message now was... "The Just Shall Live By Faith" Romans 1:17 and not by rules, laws or religion. Mainly faith in the work and person of Jesus Christ.

Jesus has established a new and living way. The old way under the Old Covenant is passing away, Hebrews 8:13. The New Covenant is Jesus himself. Jesus is the New Covenant. This is why he said, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man can come unto the Father but by me" John 14:6.
Pretty sure Christ specifically stated that he did not come to abolish the law, but to uphold it.

I really hope you haven't confused too many into thinking sin without repentance is okay. The law is written on our hearts If we are truly, fully faithful in Christ under GOD.

Peace

Has nothing to do with the law.

What it has to do with is hearing and believing the Gospel, Hebrews 4:2.

If you don't hear, believe and respond to the Gospel, you are going to hell. Plain and simple.
Does responding to the gospel not cause one to bear good fruits as a product?

Man doesn't have to do anything to be saved, Christ has done it ALL.

Why do you think the scripture says..."Whosoever that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved?" Romans 10:13.

Better get to calling or you are going to hell.
One who believes in the Christ and God wholly will produce good works as a result. It is the law written on ones heart through the Holy Spirit that is the cause of repentance and good works by way of Christ and the mercy of GOD.

Right.

Faith in Christ brings the Holy Spirit.

It is the Holy Spirit working in the life of the believer that will produce good works and the Christian life, Ephesians 2:10.

He fulfilled it and then abolished it, Colossians 2:14.

Christians are now called to live by the Spirit and not the letter of the law, 2 Corinthians 3:6.

If you are pro-gospel, then you are pro-Jew. No Christian can be anti-sematic. Why don't you thank a Jew for bringing you your bible. :poly: Ge 12:3

I am pro-Jew if that Jew is trusting in Christ alone for his salvation.

Most Jews are trusting in the law to save them.

The Bible was written and inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Incorrect. First comes the Holy Spirit upon one in New Birth, then comes Faith!

It's imperative to understand that Faith is a Fruit of the Spirit Gal. 5:22 given John 3:27 in New Birth,
when a person is Born Again / Born of the Spirit. For that's the only kind of Faith in Christ which pleases God:

Rom. 8:7-9
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

WRONG!!!!

Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

One does not have the Spirit until they re saved.

But one can have hope and Faith prior to being saved.

This kinds of threads are an anachronism. Christianity split off from Judaism many centuries ago. These discussions were appropriate in the time of Paul, when many Christians were Jews. Not today.

This isn't true. Being "saved" in the Christian sense of the term is not our purpose. You are projecting your beliefs onto us.
I believe he would either say something like many try to be good by doing good things (they would not suffer what the sinner suffers at least according to them), or that salvation is not found in law keeping (even though I believe law keeping is good) ... at least I can say this from my vantage point.

Many people do not recognize all the reasons for their approach, whether different or something that can be agreed upon.

You are in conflict with the scripture as usual.

"This only would I learn of you, Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law (because you did something?) or by the hearing of faith" (Hearing and believing the Gospel) Galatians 3:2.
