Not Mixing Wool And Flax

The full counsel of God's Laws is in all the covenants. Enslavement to sin is what Messiah came to set us free from. He "did not" come to get rid of Law. Read Matthew chapters 5-7. Paul is not against the Mosiac Law. The Oral tradition with it's added Law (seen as the Law) is what enslaves. Obviously, practicing regulation can't save. It's a non-issue. Circumcision salvation is not in the LAW and Prophets, therefore it is man's tradition, not Law. There is no sin in following the wisdom of God's word when it comes to diet, health and safety. If someone wants to live from a worldly perspective is their business before Elohim. Good post miera.

Jehovah Or JHWH For God

Jehovah with J sound was a much later translation. Exodus 3:15 HE disclosed Himself by THE NAME (YHWH),in Original Paleo Hebrew. These were consonants without vowels. Later in the AD Masoteric texts vowels were added(Yahweh). Kyros & Dominus was used in the BC era Greek Septuagent and later AD Latin Vulgate texts for His Name translated as LORD in English. Adoni or Elohim is used alot in many Jewish sects to guard His Name from profane in "their theological view" of IT's use. Halle-u-YAH = Praise God is form of His sacred Name. We should honor Him in our heart, ask Him for understanding, and use it carefully, but wisely in Love.

If one is to be an "Eternal Bible student" seeking Elohim's will. They must purposely study the resources that we have all been given as a best attempt by men and women of Jewish and Greco-Roman-Anglo-African biblical heritage to make sense of archeaolgy, history, and Cultural idioms that were spoken and lived during those times. No one is perfect on those all matters, but they are very helpful to guide us to our own theological exegisis! Most important! We are to depend on the Holy Spirit beyond these resources to get a clearer picture and correct relationship with Yahushua(Jesus). He is the final authority. To avoid blasphemy and damnation, we need to tread carefully and pray for correct guidance in all things.

What Is A Israelite
	Rueben. This was a pretty good blog question. Many interesting viewpoints that make the facts more clearer as we all search this issue out in Yahushua. thanks

Are 10 Commandments In Force

Matthew 5-7 chapters show that Yahushua's view of the Law in detail. 1 John 5: 1-4 outlines practice of Commandments. No one is perfect, but that does not mean we continue to transgress God's Laws. Relligious leaders of that time obscured the Law with additions and subtractions, just as Christians do today. That's where the Holy Spirit is the main force to help us live a holy life in obediance to His words. Living faith is works in action. James 2:20

What Is A Israelite

A gentile(GOIYN) is sometimes defined as a foreigner, stranger, someone without a covenant from Elohim(YHWH). An Isrealite (Prince of God or El) is someone that is a descendant of the 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob) son of Abraham. Because Messiah (Yahushua's)FINAL atonement 2000 years ago, Gentiles can be engrafted into Isreal. Ephes 2:13,17 Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God, kjv Although the word says Non-Jewish believers are Isreal, many continue to call themselves Gentiles...and many Jews still call them that too.

Everyone, The issue for Galations letter & Acts 15 issue is that "it was addressing" the use of circumcision,ceremonial Law, and customs for Salvation as entrance into Isreal-Exodus12:49 The Torah blood atonement lead to Messiah making final atonment for sins. The Law never taught Salvation by following works alone. Blood atonment was always required! The yoke of bondage is the "added interpretation of the Pharasees. That's how the Law was interpreted. therefore "bondage". 2 Timothy 3:16-17 all scripture is useful, at the time he is talking about (the Law, Prophets & other Hebrew writings of that time). Paul was not against wisdom and Hebrew practices from these texts. Rom 7:7

part 2 Obediance to 1st century Apostolic practices obviously will not save you. It's a non-issue for practicing Christians and Jewish believers who practice works as fruit of the Spirit, not for salvation. James 2:20 & Mark 16:16 *Miera is right on those issues! A Christian should always do their own Bible research. Commentaries are helpful, but like the Jewish Talmud, they are educated opinions from their "traditional theology". One has to make up their own mind and be fully persuaded in history, archealogy and translation. Buyer beware.

	Larry,LOL. No Christian "denomination" is perfect with all knowledge of God or selective learning of history. They can all learn, if they don't play "know it all ego manics". If someone does not take the time to learn history and scripture, then they are ones that are "specious" and insecure in their views, try the mirror.

How To Keep The Sabbath

You can keep the Sabbath like Yahshua did. Without all the stress of added traditions and laws. Luke 6:1-5 Life happens and we should not let it stop us if we have to save a life, help someone etc. The Sabbath(7TH Day was made for man not the Sabbath to control man). A preperation day dinner and bible study on Friday night with Sabbath day is done for meditating on YAH's creation, worship and rest in homes and community services. God gets the glory, not the Day itself. Ken Rank-When Greco-Roman church system took over, Apostolic tradition believers were given false legal charges, labled heritical and Jewish..it's just part of being a Shabbot keeper. Forgiveness and love, and move on up a little higher in Yahushua's power.

Larry-Hannukah's lesson is important to "all Bible believers" everywhere because history repeats itself. a global system will affect everything. It teaches believers to resist Ant-Christ system, shows the cost of beleiving by faith as outlined in Hebrews 11-12 great cloud of witnesses, calls attention to protect the Bible and not allow it to be burned by the Ant-Christ, not be assimilated into the Beast system's culture, dedicate your temple to God through Christ and keep your lamp oil full to make it through those times. Against all odds we win because Messiah conquered the Advesary. Those that beleive this will live accordingly by the bible no matter what situation we find ourselves Rev. 12:11,14 & 14:12

Are 10 Commandments In Force

good point wayne- The issue in Pauls letter may lie in what Peter said in his midrash 2 Peter kjv 16 also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. It seems to warn people about lawlessness(Torahlessness). Even Romans 6 shows Paul was not lawless. He was against the interpretation of Moshe by the "usual suspects" that Yahushua had problems with.

Larry- Flee to the hills comment: Christ(Mashiach) was also historically refering to what happened in the book of 1 Maccabees 4:45-46 & 1 Maccabees 1 & 2 chapters. Many of the same tents of history will take place in the future where the "anti-christ" will do some of the same things. This is remembered each December 25th or Kislev called Channukah by Jewish people. Christ was at the Temple during that timeframe John 10:22-23 also to minister. It's a reminder for them to stand against paganism and Christians to not let their Temples be defiled by anti-Christ, sin and keep our lamps full of oil.

	The "weeks measurement" is used from the 70 x 7 curse =490 curse of Law disobediance their ancestors were given. Leviticus 26 chap & Jer 25:11,12, & 29:10. Christ warned no man knows the hour or date of His Return. We do see signs of the endtimes, therefore wait on Him and continue to preach the Gospel no matter what happens. II Peter 3:8-9

Mark-V If we use the Hebrew Lunar New Moon calender and the Edict of Artexes in Nisan 2, 445 BC to Nisan 10, 32 AD Palm Sunday when Messiah was hailed as King in Jerusalem by the people, it would be 7+62=69 weeks or sevens of years=173,880 days. Dr. Gavin Finely presents this on Endtime Pilgrim website chart. Confusion may come from using the solar day pagan calender system, Yeshua's Baptism date and other Diaspera Kings edicts. The Hebrew Holidays pertain to His coming and return. Many did and did not want to see the truth. The gap after 69th Atonement work on Nisan 14th seen as Grace period. last 7 YRS (trib) is seen by some to be the end game of the age(70TH WEEK). Then Messiah Rules 1000 years.

Part 1 Lee- circumcision was viewed "that way" by So called converted Pharasee and Essene Oral traditionalists. They started the whole cofusion and false doctrine. Paul was ticked off by this. Tenants of Moshe's Moav Covenant are seen in conversiion of the heart, not flesh. repentance (Duet.30:2, 8) circumcised heart (verse 6, 15, 19) Jer 31:33 in New Covenant. Romans 2:29 thus some see themselves being a Jew and Isrealite by that circumcision. Ethnic salvation is not Yahushua's Covenant.

Last Days Deceptions

I think ed decker and other Christian apologogists are pretty good resources. There are many ancient and modern Jewish & Christian books that obviously don't correlate with the flow of the New Covenant theme of Mashiach. Denial of Yahushua's deity, Witchcraft and seeking Gnosis(Secret knowledge), from spirits is very dangerous and against Duet. 18:9-14. Rev 21:8 Ancient Isreal fell into eastern mysticism too Isaiah 2:6 I whole heartedly disagree with Jewish and Christian groups dabbling in this stuff. thanks for this post.

	Bill-Interesting current events and historical points. someone posed the blog question to me that was into the sort of things you brought out so I thought I'd see what others thought. Mark Eaton, this my view also. great scriptures. anon- what's your view of JerimiYAH 50-51 and Isaiah 47, 48 and Rev 17, 18 in relation to your comments. Many have varying views of this scripture about babylon.

Lee-Thanks for the oppurtunity to prove my point.I make no opinion of historical and biblical fact. Acts 15:21 refers to Gentiles going to the synagouge where Moshe is read. In the NIV Bible & God's Word translations At Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day verses 16 and 26 shows Gentiles were present in the synagogue with Paul. It was a normal occurance for God fearing (gentile converts) to go there for their foundation of faith class. KJV & other translations Gentiles were called God-fearers because they were already attending the synagogue and to learn the Jewish tradition. They were not fully in the Jewish community. Judaism and the Gentiles By Terence L. Donaldson. pg 582 gives detatils.

Mark v-Thanks for your comment. John Darby and other "rapture" views are rather speculative depending on (your) use and mindset of scripture. Daniels 70 WEEKS has been spun different ways to each reader. Many Jews come to Messiah after reading that scripture view, you disagree with. Dr Gavin Finely at Endtime Pilgrim is a strong proponent of the 7 year Trib. My point in the question is "if" there is a literal 7 YEAR TRIB(Hama Tsrah) what do you expect to do? It is meant to make the reader prepare for real life events and lessen the mental shock if the Pre-trib "two return theory" is not valid. Who could you trust during those times?
