The point is simple, you have never read that Christ wanted all the laws of Judaism with exceptions, enforced in any way on Christians.
Christ? I have not read about Christ, I have read about Yeshua BarYosef who carried on the Baptist's mission after John was arrested.
And Yes, I have read that he wanted the return of the laws but without the corrupt practices of the priesthood, sacrifice and ceremony both.
It's all there...... you just have to look for it. It seems that you have seen only that which you wanted to see?
He was a Jew, and He kept the Jewish laws perfectly.
No he didn't!
You need to review everything you think you know about Jesus.
Yeshua was determined to ignore many of the laws, as was the Baptist! He demonstrated this very clearly..... how could you have missed that?
You try to change history..... but you won't get away with it on RF, I think.
He only preached to the Jews to whom the law was given, it never applied to Gentiles. Before his death He said to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. The Gospel means good news, do you think it would be good news to be told you must keep a bunch of laws that nobody could keep perfectly ?
So Christians don't need to keep the 507 laws of the OT?
So why are we needing to discuss Christian Schools refusing LGBT teachers?
Cherry picking much?
The Jewish law, all of it, no longer applies.
Yes it does, where I live. Lots of laws here both civil and criminal mirror the OT laws.
Your ideas are all over the place.
This isn´t what you are grasping. With Christ, and the Jewish rejection of him as the Messiah, the old way died with Him.
With his resurrection, the new era of Christianity began, as He said it would. The new covenant was instituted.
Jesus (Yeshua) didn't institute anything new at all. He wanted the old laws kept to, apart from the sacrifice and ceremony that kept the priesthood fat, but that was 2000 years ago.
This is the absolute foundation of Christianity, and has been for 2,000 years.
I can only speculate as to why you can´t discern this.
All I can discern is a jumble of hypocritical doctrines clinging to cherry-picked ideas which have held back humanity far too long. That's the reason for this thread.
They have totally ignored important OT laws while focusing on extremist ideas which do not fit with the World today.
And most of our education authorities are now doing something about how children should be protected from brainwashing over so many bigotries and hatreds. Jesus would be ashamed of you all..... ashamed.
Where I live religious schools now need to offer places to other religions and cultures just for that reason and to support a multicultural society.
As to insults, you began by insulting me by talking trash about people I hold in the highest regard. You disrespected them, you disrespected me.
Ah....... so you think that you are 'those people'? You think that you are the personification of the Apostles John and Paul?
If so, that says it all, then.
