No, it did not. If you know scripture, you'll know why it is yet future.Shalom.
Do you believe that the new covenant came in Jesus Christ?
And YET the body of Christ is NOT under the law.No. It is not. Jesus did not abolish the Law or the Prophets.
You say that you do.I do.
The law requires you to be in Jerusalem. So you do not obey the law, you only say that you do.I have never been to Israel. Only in visions and computer communication over the internet, like with Theology Online or maybe Facebook (different way things are set up here between these two). I would like to go. This Passover I continue to observe outside the land.
Confusion, confusion and confusion. There is NEITHER Jew NOR Greek, remember.I am confused about if you were formerly a Gentile or if you were formerly a stranger to the covenants of promise (not knowing (them) or not participating (with these)). Are you of the commonwealth of Israel?
I have no idea what you are getting at here.Yes. But there are non-believers or people who do not obey God('s commands) in the world.
It means to be a part of the nation of Israel, which the body of Christ is not.It may be. But asking prompts someone to examine where they are at (spiritually). However, when I was a Gentile I wondered among other things about what it means to be a part of the commonwealth of Israel, even as a Christian.
Those saved by grace through faith are not under the law. Our sins are not counted against us as we are dead to sin by the body of Christ.We live by grace, but we do not sin. And sin is transgression of the law.
I believe that you misunderstand the scriptures. Do you recognize the new covenant as having come in Yeshua Messiah, Jesus the Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach?No, it did not. If you know scripture, you'll know why it is yet future.
Jer 31:31-34 (KJV)(31:31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: (31:32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: (31:33) But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (31:34) And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
I believe you are thinking differently from how I think and from what is revealed in the Gospels or in the New Testament Scriptures (Matthew through Revelation are called the New Testament Scriptures by many).Do you think that everyone in Israel, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, knows the LORD today?
Why are they still teaching?
Who is not under the law? Any and every believer or only Gentiles if Gentiles are in the body of Christ or make up the body of Christ?And YET the body of Christ is NOT under the law.
Rom 6:14 (KJV)(6:14) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Do you associate God's grace with the new covenant or do you believe grace existed before the new covenant came to be?You say that you do.
Paul observed the feast of unleavened bread outside of the land. I wanted to move to Israel but I am still in the United States of America.The law requires you to be in Jerusalem. So you do not obey the law, you only say that you do.
You misunderstand the scripture that you are championing. I am a Jew. You are saying that there are no Jews which is wrong.Confusion, confusion and confusion. There is NEITHER Jew NOR Greek, remember.
Do you believe you were once a stranger to the covenants of promise?The body of Christ is NOT "of the commonwealth of Israel". We are seated in heavenly places. We do not need to be a part of Israel.
If there are people who do not obey God's commands the question is if you do. The question is if those who are of Israel observe God's commands. We do. The commands of Torah. And many of us observe the rest of the TaNaKh and Matthew through Revelation.I have no idea what you are getting at here.
I do not know why you believe this. Who wrote about the commonwealth of Israel in the Bible and who was he writing to? What was he saying or what did he say? Why do you believe that the commonwealth of Israel is mentioned?It means to be a part of the nation of Israel, which the body of Christ is not.
Correct. But sin has consequences. You must repent of the sin which or that you have committed.Those saved by grace through faith are not under the law. Our sins are not counted against us as we are dead to sin by the body of Christ.
I am familiar with Romans 6.See Romans 6 for the full explanation.
Not yet. It will come when He returns to establish His throne and His kingdom on the earth. I'm surprised that you do not understand this.Shalom.
I believe that you misunderstand the scriptures. Do you recognize the new covenant as having come in Yeshua Messiah, Jesus the Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach?
And many are incorrect in doing so.I believe you are thinking differently from how I think and from what is revealed in the Gospels or in the New Testament Scriptures (Matthew through Revelation are called the New Testament Scriptures by many).
Read the scripture and figure it out.Who is not under the law? Any and every believer or only Gentiles if Gentiles are in the body of Christ or make up the body of Christ?
I will be in the new COVENANT, per scripture.The law is written on minds and hearts in Jesus Christ.
I believe that the dispensation of the grace of God was given to us through Paul, just like he says in the Bible.Do you associate God's grace with the new covenant or do you believe grace existed before the new covenant came to be?
I don't care what you think that Paul did. Paul said that WE are not under the law. That would include Paul.Paul observed the feast of unleavened bread outside of the land. I wanted to move to Israel but I am still in the United States of America.
You misunderstand the scripture that you are championing. I am a Jew. You are saying that there are no Jews which is wrong.
I know that the blood of Christ saved me regardless of any covenant.Do you believe you were once a stranger to the covenants of promise?
You say that you do, but then you prove that you do not. That is double-talk Jacob.If there are people who do not obey God's commands the question is if you do. The question is if those who are of Israel observe God's commands. We do. The commands of Torah. And many of us observe the rest of the TaNaKh and Matthew through Revelation.
Because God gave His Word through Israel. BUT NOW God is doing something different per Paul's lengthy explanations.I do not know why you believe this. Who wrote about the commonwealth of Israel in the Bible and who was he writing to? What was he saying or what did he say? Why do you believe that the commonwealth of Israel is mentioned?
Once again, I have no idea what you point is here. Did Jesus NOT die for all of my sins?Correct. But sin has consequences. You must repent of the sin which or that you have committed.
Apparently, not so much.I am familiar with Romans 6.
I believe the kingdom came with Yeshua, Jesus, though the new covenant is different.Not yet. It will come when He returns to establish His throne and His kingdom on the earth. I'm surprised that you do not understand this.
Have you read Matthew, Matthew Mark and Luke, or the Gospels? Have you read Matthew through Revelation?And many are incorrect in doing so.
Shalom. Interesting. Who do you believe the testator is?The new testament cannot begin until the DEATH of the testator (Heb 9:16-17).
I do not know what this is.So the vast majority of MML&J
I do not know what you are saying.are NOT new testament at all. They cannot be.
I have read the scriptures. The reason I asked you is because you believe that Israel and the body of Christ are not the same.Read the scripture and figure it out.
I do not know if you want to explain this but you can if you want to. What is your view and is it correct?I will be in the new COVENANT, per scripture.
Paul was given a stewardship of the grace of God.I believe that the dispensation of the grace of God was given to us through Paul, just like he says in the Bible.
Paul also was involved with sacrifice after already having become a believer. The Law has NOT been abolished.I don't care what you think that Paul did.
Unless it only applies to Gentiles.Paul said that WE are not under the law. That would include Paul.
I do not live in the land of Israel. I would love to go to Israel, but you have to be in Israel to go to Jerusalem.The LAW REQUIRES you to go to Jerusalem. You say that you obey the law, but you do not.
No. Of course I am male. You do not know how to correctly interpret this.Gal 3:28 (KJV)(3:28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
You reject scripture.
Interesting. The new covenant was for the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Do you know about the covenants from the Bible? Begin with the Torah.I know that the blood of Christ saved me regardless of any covenant.
You are incorrect. I have spent my life studying scripture, the Bible, and I study the Torah. Some people believe that it is impossible to obey God, but it is not.You say that you do, but then you prove that you do not. That is double-talk Jacob.
Paul explained that there is much benefit in being a Jew in that it is the Jews who were entrusted with the word of God.Because God gave His Word through Israel. BUT NOW God is doing something different per Paul's lengthy explanations.
He did. But you must repent and believe the gospel.Once again, I have no idea what you point is here. Did Jesus NOT die for all of my sins?
I have preached Romans 6 on TOL. But you need to start with Romans 1. Romans 5, and 4, come before, as with 3, 2, and 1. I have learned much from Romans 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, etc... as well.Apparently, not so much.
Believe what you want. The LORD Jesus Christ is not yet sitting on the throne of His father David. This is one of the reasons that the 11 asked in Acts 1 if now was the time that He would restore the kingdom.Shalom.I believe the kingdom came with Yeshua, Jesus, though the new covenant is different.
Indeed I have. That is why I brought up the subject of the death of the testator.Have you read Matthew, Matthew Mark and Luke, or the Gospels? Have you read Matthew through Revelation?
Who else can it be but the LORD Jesus Christ? It is HIS testament.Shalom. Interesting. Who do you believe the testator is?
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.do not know what this is.
I'm saying what the Bible says.I do not know what you are saying.
That is simply because they are not the same.I have read the scriptures.The reason I asked you is because you believe that Israel and the body of Christ are not the same.
I cannot understand what you're getting at....I do not know if you want to explain this but you can if you want to. What is your view and is it correct?
Indeed he was and he claimed that is was uniquely given to him.Paul was given a stewardship of the grace of God.
Paul was free to do that even though he was not under the law. The law is a curse if you do not do it properly. You say you do, but you've proven that you do not. You are under condemnation.Paul also was involved with sacrifice after already having become a believer. The Law has NOT been abolished.
It applies to anyone that is not under law, but under grace (Romans 6:14-15).Unless it only applies to Gentiles.
So you reject the law because it's inconvenient? Some law observing Jew you've turned out to be.I do not live in the land of Israel. I would love to go to Israel, but you have to be in Israel to go to Jerusalem.
That is your case with most of scripture.No. Of course I am male. You do not know how to correctly interpret this.
You're getting off the rails again.Interesting. The new covenant was for the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Do you know about the covenants from the Bible? Begin with the Torah.
You do not obey God, because you refuse follow the law that you claim to have studied and follow.You are incorrect. I have spent my life studying scripture, the Bible, and I study the Torah. Some people believe that it is impossible to obey God, but it is not.
Paul also said that Israel is currently fallen and that God is doing something different for a time. Read Romans 9-11.Paul explained that there is much benefit in being a Jew in that it is the Jews who were entrusted with the word of God.He did. But you must repent and believe the gospel.
So you say, but I can see that you do not understand it.I have preached Romans 6 on TOL. But you need to start with Romans 1. Romans 5, and 4, come before, as with 3, 2, and 1. I have learned much from Romans 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, etc... as well.
You understand that David is still in his tomb?Believe what you want. The LORD Jesus Christ is not yet sitting on the throne of His father David. This is one of the reasons that the 11 asked in Acts 1 if now was the time that He would restore the kingdom.
And do you believe that He died?Indeed I have. That is why I brought up the subject of the death of the testator.
Who else can it be but the LORD Jesus Christ? It is HIS testament.
Yes.Have you read Matthew-Revelation?
Okay. Thank you.Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Does Israel have any Gentiles in it? When a person becomes a believer from among the Gentiles do they cease to be a Gentile?I'm saying what the Bible says.
Heb 9:16-17 (KJV)(9:16) For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. (9:17) For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
That is simply because they are not the same.
You said that you will be in the new covenant which implies that you are not a part of the new covenant now. If you are not yet understanding what it means for the new covenant to be for the house of Israel and the house of Judah, maybe I understand you.I cannot understand what you're getting at....
He was given a stewardship.Indeed he was and he claimed that is was uniquely given to him.
You are attacking me. I am conversing with you. I observe Torah. There is currently no temple and I do not live in the nation of Israel. To go to Jerusalem would require going to Israel, which I want to do. But I am observing Passover in the United States of America again.Paul was free to do that even though he was not under the law. The law is a curse if you do not do it properly. You say you do, but you've proven that you do not. You are under condemnation.
Do you believe that it is possible to be under the Law and minister to someone who is not?It applies to anyone that is not under law, but under grace (Romans 6:14-15).
I see no reason to reject the law. I observe it or keep it. I obey God's commands. As a Jew and of Israel I observe the Torah. You do not know what you are railing against.So you reject the law because it's inconvenient? Some law observing Jew you've turned out to be.
Did you reject the new covenant as a strategy against me?That is your case with most of scripture.
You did not answer the question. I was asking about your statement. If you do not see a need to defend it, okay.You're getting off the rails again.
You are simply challenging me because I said that I do and you do not.You do not obey God, because you refuse follow the law that you claim to have studied and follow.
You need to read and understand Romans 9-11 in context.Paul also said that Israel is currently fallen and that God is doing something different for a time. Read Romans 9-11.
You are incorrect. I understand it. If you are a part of the body of Christ and you believe you are not of Israel and you do not observe all of God's commands, whether or not you are a part of the body of Christ you can either choose to join Israel and observe all of God's commands, you can observe the Noahide laws, or you can do well to observe God's commands beginning with the commands mentioned in Acts 15 with the Jerusalem council. First you must repent and believe the gospel, that you would be saved.So you say, but I can see that you do not understand it.
Is there point to this statement?Shalom.
You understand that David is still in his tomb?
Are you being intentionally dense? Of course I do.And do you believe that He died?
No, I have NOT "denied the new covenant". I have denied that it has been put into place yet. It is yet future.I do not know what to think about your statement. You have denied the new covenant.
As you were told already, Gentiles were always allowed to join with Israel from the very beginning. Which tribe do you think that they become a part of?Does Israel have any Gentiles in it? When a person becomes a believer from among the Gentiles do they cease to be a Gentile?
Don't speak falsely about what I said. I did NOT say that I "will be in the new covenant". I am a member of the body of Christ which has a different destiny than Israel (with whom God makes His new covenant).You said that you will be in the new covenant which implies that you are not a part of the new covenant now. If you are not yet understanding what it means for the new covenant to be for the house of Israel and the house of Judah, maybe I understand you.
Indeed he was and that stewardship was for a dispensation of the gospel of the grace of God. Nobody else had been given THAT stewardship.He was given a stewardship.
I am not attacking you. I'm telling you the truth.You are attacking me. I am conversing with you. I observe Torah. There is currently no temple and I do not live in the nation of Israel. To go to Jerusalem would require going to Israel, which I want to do. But I am observing Passover in the United States of America again.
Once again, you CLAIM that you keep it but admit that you do not.Do you believe that it is possible to be under the Law and minister to someone who is not?I see no reason to reject the law. I observe it or keep it. I obey God's commands. As a Jew and of Israel I observe the Torah. You do not know what you are railing against.
You consistently shown that you do not understand. If you did understand, you would know that Israel has temporarily fallen and that salvation is coming to the Gentiles apart from Israel. That is what Romans 9-11 says.Did you reject the new covenant as a strategy against me?You did not answer the question. I was asking about your statement. If you do not see a need to defend it, okay.You are simply challenging me because I said that I do and you do not.You need to read and understand Romans 9-11 in context.
You are incorrect. I understand it.
I am saved by grace through faith because I believe the gospel of the grace of God.If you are a part of the body of Christ and you believe you are not of Israel and you do not observe all of God's commands, whether or not you are a part of the body of Christ you can either choose to join Israel and observe all of God's commands, you can observe the Noahide laws, or you can do well to observe God's commands beginning with the commands mentioned in Acts 15 with the Jerusalem council. First you must repent and believe the gospel, that you would be saved.
Are you a born again believer? Are you born again of and by the Spirit of God?
Shalom.
Jacob
The point is simply that Jesus rose from the dead.Is there point to this statement?
Okay.Are you being intentionally dense? Of course I do.
The POINT that I was making is the a TESTAMENT does not take effect until the DEATH of the TESTATOR, as it says in Hebrews.
Heb 9:16-17 (KJV)
What do you mean by this? Are you saying that you believe there was a time when the new covenant came into effect?(9:16) For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. (9:17) For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Since the LORD Jesus Christ did not die until the very END of MML&J, the new testament COULD NOT be in effect throughout MOST of those book and during the LORD's ministry to Israel on earth.
I would like to know what you mean.Can you follow this? It's pretty simple.
No. You are incorrect.No, I have NOT "denied the new covenant". I have denied that it has been put into place yet. It is yet future.
You have asked a good question here. I do not know the answer to your question. Are you implying that there is an answer you have that you think that I am not privy to?As you were told already, Gentiles were always allowed to join with Israel from the very beginning. Which tribe do you think that they become a part of?
I did not know that you believe the new covenant is not for the body of Christ.Don't speak falsely about what I said. I did NOT say that I "will be in the new covenant". I am a member of the body of Christ which has a different destiny than Israel (with whom God makes His new covenant).
You have some interesting beliefs here. I do not know how to answer you beyond answering what makes sense from what I know. I believe that your answers or response here is misguided.I am already seated in heavenly place in Christ Jesus, as Paul clearly stated. I am NOT waiting and praying for the kingdom to come to earth.
It was something that God entrusted Paul with. Others have ministered God's grace in the gospel as well. Are you talking about God's grace for Gentiles or are you talking about God's grace in the gospel for Jew and Gentile alike?Indeed he was and that stewardship was for a dispensation of the gospel of the grace of God. Nobody else had been given THAT stewardship.
I agree that this is Paul, but I am not sensational about it. I accept all of scripture, the entire Bible. I do not pick Paul first.This is way Paul makes statements like these:
Rom 2:16 (KJV)(2:16) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Rom 16:25 (KJV)(16:25) Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
2Tim 2:8 (KJV)(2:8) Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Nobody else in scripture makes such statements.
Okay. This is good to know.I am not attacking you. I'm telling you the truth.
I observe the Torah. There are 613 commands in Torah. I also observe the rest of the TaNaKh and Matthew through Revelation. Matthew through Revelation has 1050 commands. We are all to observe God's commands. I believe that I am to observe all of these commands that are for me, and I am of Israel, a Jew.You CLAIM to be following the law and yet you have admitted that you do not.
I disagree. If you knew me you might ask why I keep God's Law.Once again, you CLAIM that you keep it but admit that you do not.
This was written by Paul a long time ago. But the Torah came before Paul.You consistently shown that you do not understand. If you did understand, you would know that Israel has temporarily fallen and that salvation is coming to the Gentiles apart from Israel. That is what Romans 9-11 says.
That is a good start, believing Ephesians 2:8, 9. I hope you can understand more or understand what this means.I am saved by grace through faith because I believe the gospel of the grace of God.
Now you are being intentionally dense. I already told you that the new covenant is YET FUTURE.Shalom.The point is simply that Jesus rose from the dead.Okay.Okay. I believe you have said now that the testator did die. This is according to your believe that Jesus is the testator I believe.What do you mean by this? Are you saying that you believe there was a time when the new covenant came into effect? I would like to know what you mean.
No, you are incorrect.No. You are incorrect.
No, but my point is that in the body of Christ there are no tribes, there is no Israel. There isn't even male and female (Galatians 3:28)You have asked a good question here. I do not know the answer to your question. Are you implying that there is an answer you have that you think that I am not privy to?
Well now you know.I did not know that you believe the new covenant is not for the body of Christ.
That is because you lack understanding. You believe myths.You have some interesting beliefs here. I do not know how to answer you beyond answering what makes sense from what I know. I believe that your answers or response here is misguided.
The gospel of the grace of God was not revealed prior to Paul. God general "grace", like with Noah is NOT the same thing (even though many try to force it to mean the same thing).It was something that God entrusted Paul with. Others have ministered God's grace in the gospel as well. Are you talking about God's grace for Gentiles or are you talking about God's grace in the gospel for Jew and Gentile alike?
Also, do you say Greek rather than Gentile where I have said Gentile here?
I do not pick Paul first either, but when God chooses one man for a purpose... I respect God's choice.I agree that this is Paul, but I am not sensational about it. I accept all of scripture, the entire Bible. I do not pick Paul first.
YesOkay. This is good to know.
You think that you keep the law and yet you have admitted that you do not. You can fool yourself if you like, but this makes you a hypocrite.I observe the Torah. There are 613 commands in Torah. I also observe the rest of the TaNaKh and Matthew through Revelation. Matthew through Revelation has 1050 commands. We are all to observe God's commands. I believe that I am to observe all of these commands that are for me, and I am of Israel, a Jew.I disagree. If you knew me you might ask why I keep God's Law.
God revealed new things to Paul and you reject Gods MOST RECENT revelation.This was written by Paul a long time ago. But the Torah came before Paul.
You have proven that you do not want to understand, therefore I'm done with this dialog.I am not good with history yet, nor prophecy in relation to the nation of Israel. Meaning, I am Torah observant. And this is what we are supposed to observe. The new covenant is God's law written upon minds and hearts for the house of Israel and the house of Judah in Yeshua Messiah.
That is a good start, believing Ephesians 2:8, 9. I hope you can understand more or understand what this means.
Shalom.
Jacob
