I can't make sense of what you're saying here.
There are many commandments of God, but doing just one of them is not fulfilling the law. It is necessary to do them all - the entirety.
When the scriptures of the NT say that Jesus came to fulfil the law, they mean all of them! For that reason it...
The 'way' is keeping the 'ways' ( plural ). Not keeping the 'ways' plural is contemptible: Malachi2:8-9. Misrepresenting the way as **only** the single gate of faith renders the new covenant null and void. It would be the same as someone misrepresenting any commondity; claiming it's...
In one sense, it does, but the text doesn't mention teachers either. The ones who misled people were those who claimed to be prophets, or the ones who were political leaders -- I don't recall any claim that it was the judges who did anything wrong.
It is serious. We also have records of...
I'm sorry. I thought the word rabbi, meant teacher.
I was thinking of those assigned to teach the people...
(Deuteronomy 4:1, 2) 1 “Now, O Israel, listen to the regulations and the judicial decisions that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live and go in and take possession of the...
Malachi does inform Revelation, and is even cited therein.
Isaiah 58:
Isa 58:12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in...
No, they were not formed together. What Moses wrote down in the Torah was the law from God. I will show you the difference between the oral law and the Torah....
Example 1. Jesus quotes from the Torah Exodus 20:12 & 21:17 about honoring ones parents, and anyone who does not honor them is...
Only fulfill its requirements like any other Jew was meant to do.
First, where did he say that the oral laws overstep the commandments of God? The Oral Law, and Written Law formed together.
And yes, Jesus did change things. Just look at his teaching on divorce. The Law gives provisions...
complete in the sense of 'fulfill' its requirements...not complete in the sense of 'finish' or 'end' it.
Jesus did not 'change' anything. He followed the 'written' law perfectly. Just because he did not abide by the 'oral' law does not mean he changed Gods law. In fact, he said the oral laws...
It would appear that many people who call themselves Christian's are not practicing Christian. Guess what?
Malachi2:8 (NIV)
8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty.
Matthew...
But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble. Malachi2:8
The priests in Malachi's day modified the Word of God. They compromised His standards and led people to believe that God would be content with less. They accepted imperfect sacrifices. They turned...
