Cherry Picking Jesus Apart

That's theologically contradictory because if the Old law did not get abolished until the Resurrection then Jesus taught a violation of the Old law. Why would he give a false teaching? He also didn't give a time reference or limitation

Jesus never said to "accept him as Savior." That is no where in the New Testament. We also know he was not omniscient by his own proclamation so he said to pray to God because there is only one God.



John 14:6

''Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.''


The only way to the Father is through relationship with the Son. Only in relationship with Jesus can we begin to understand unconditional forgiveness. Ever time we forgive others we gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifice Jesus made as payment for our sins.

Jesus was teaching the disciples how to pray in relationship with God as the Father. When we accept Jesus and pray to the Father He no longer sees our sins and brokenness, but sees us in the same light as Jesus.

Between you and Jesus, which one is more qualified to say how we should pray? It is not mysterious what he said in the Lord's Prayer yet you are trying to change it. He never said to pray to him, but to God.

You're also changing what he said in Jn 14:6. He didn't say to accept him as Saviour. That is a lazy theology designed to avoid doing the work.
 
Since the sermon was (obviously) given before His crucifixion, wouldn't it be logical that Jesus would tell them to pray to the Father and not Himself?
His sacrifice hadn't been fulfilled yet.
The price hadn't been paid yet, by Him.
I am still asking my Father to forgive me.
I just do it in the name of Jesus, the One that paid the price for me.
Since He paid that debt, the forgiveness is already paid for. All we have to do is approach our Father, with a humble heart, and accept it in the Spirit it was given!

What false teaching are you claiming He taught?

And, no, He wouldn't be considered a savior until he was sacrificed, resurrected, and shown to be divine.

I didn't say he did do false teaching. I pointed out by your logic he would have done that.
 
Yeshua didn't come for the Jews. Why? HE IS JEWISH!!!!!! The Jews already had a covenant with God because of their ancestor Abraham who recognized the One True God, and because of that, God blessed Abraham's descendents.

Incidentally, in the story where Yeshua goes over and casts demons out of a man into a bunch of swine, well......on his way out of Jerusalem, He saw a fellow Jew who recognized who He was, and Yeshua told the man to be quiet and not tell anyone.

After He cast the demons out of the guy who WASN'T JEWISH? Well, He then tells the man He's cast the demons out of to tell everyone what God had done for him, via Yeshua.

No, He didn't come to save the Jews, they already had their connection to God. He came for the nations of the world, or to put it another way........everyone who WASN'T Jewish.

There are a few problems with this theory. The first is Jews converted to Christianity. The second is Hebrews 8 spells it out pretty clearly the covenant brought by Jesus replaced the old covenant which means Jews were not in a saddle of immunity if they had to pony up to this new covenant.

There were some Jews who believed what you are claiming which is why Paul spent a good deal of time with reconciliations between Jewish and Gentile Christians. Romans deals a lot on this particular issue.

Jesus didn't come to say Jews are "God's chosen people." He came to say everyone was loved by God and had direct access to God's love and forgiveness without the need for silly ceremonies and jaw dropping extortion schemes run by pretty thieves in a formal hierachical structure.

Jews did not convert to christianity :cuckoo:

Some jews rebelled against G-D and converted to christianity.

Well awwwwwlllllrighteeee then! Kind of hard to sell that one.
 
I figure since I have " savage" blood, I'll just wind up wherever my ancestors did.
I hate harp music and have no desire to hang out with a bunch of Jooz. I did that movie in Miami.
 
It's important to understand and explain in what sense Jesus fulfilled the Law; if we claim it. If people who accept Jesus as Christ truly understood it, many of their claims would cease.

God's plan of salvation is given in Lev. 16. The Day of atonement. Jesus fulfilled his role as the sin sacrifice. Without the willing sacrifice Jesus, God's plan could not be completed.

However, there is more to the Day of Atonement than the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. The claim by some who are followers of Jesus that he fulfilled all the Law is wrong. Claims that we are no longer under the Law is not only bad doctrine, it is dangerous both physically and spiritually.

Most of the truly bad doctrine I see being posted seems to be coming from Christians who base their understanding strictly on the New Testament.

God told the prophet Hosea to marry into whoredome. He did. She strayed. Hosea loved her and accepted her completely when she came home. I believe the story to be a metaphor for Christ's love for his bride the church. No matter how far she strays, Christ loves her.

"Without the willing sacrifice Jesus, God's plan could not be completed"

G-D doesn't need anyone or anything to complete his plan. G-D can do whatever he wants.

And neither G-D nor the jews needed or need jesus for anything.

The "sacrifice of lamb" is a christian creation. It has nothing to do with jews or G-D.

The link below explains how jews get forgiveness from sin:

What is interesting too is that before jews can ask G-D for forgiveness regarding sin against their fellow man, they must first ask forgiveness from the person that they sinned against.

It's interesting that it seems that christians concentrate on giving forgiveness rather attoning for sin.

The story of Hosea has nothing to do with jesus. It is a metaphor regarding the jews and G-D. That G-D will always accept the jews back.

The only person/being that jews are allowed to have a relationship with is the one and only G-D, as shown from the passages that I quoted.

The "Law" is not endemic to "rules" or Commandments. It is also a euphemism for the Old Testament itself which contains many prophecies so instead of looking at it as Jesus fulfilled the "Law" it makes most sense to see it as Jesus fulfilled the prophecies. What Jesus fulfilled is spelled out pretty clearly:

Heb 8:13

"In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."

Jesus didn't fulfill any of the messianic prophesies either, other than being born in bethlehem and writing a donkey.

The messianic prophesis are spelled out in Michah 4:3 and Ezekiel 34. They are

Michah 4

3. And he shall judge between many peoples and reprove mighty nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nations shall not lift the sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore. (World Peace)

Ezekiel 37

21. And say to them, So says the Lord God: Behold I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side, and I will bring them to their land. כא. (all the jews will be brought to Israel)

22. And I will make them into one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be to them all as a king; and they shall no longer be two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore. כב.(there will be one recognized king)

23. And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, with their detestable things, or with all their transgressions, and I will save them from all their habitations in which they have sinned, and I will purify them, and they shall be to Me as a people, and I will be to them as a God. כג. (all nations will worship one G-D)

24. And My servant David shall be king over them, and one shepherd shall be for them all, and they shall walk in My ordinances and observe My statutes and perform them. כד. (A descendent from the tribe of David)

25. And they shall dwell on the land that I have given to My servant, to Jacob, wherein your forefathers lived; and they shall dwell upon it, they and their children and their children's children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. כה. (all the jews will remain in Israel)

26. And I will form a covenant of peace for them, an everlasting covenant shall be with them; and I will establish them and I will multiply them, and I will place My Sanctuary in their midst forever. כו.
(the temple in jerusalem will be rebuilt and stand forever)
27. And My dwelling place shall be over them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me as a people. כז. (the temple in jerusalem will be rebuilt and stand forever)

Jesus fulfilled none of these prophesies.

Also, these are messianic prophesies.

The messiah will be a mortal human being, who will not be worshipped in any manner.

28. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, Who sanctifies Israel, when My Sanctuary is in their midst forever."

CMike, I can see that any further discussion between the two of us, on this matter will eat up a lot of bandwidth.
Besides, "nope" not being a valid rebuttal, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree because I honestly have had this discussion far too many times and it rarely accomplishes anything.
Translation = I'm at work and don't have the time, patience, or inclination to address each point :D
(I start vacation tomorrow, though ;) )

I do agree that we aren't going to agree.

However, nope is all it deserved.

Your link didn't even bother to mistranslate the text, it just drew incorrect conclusions.

You know what I don't know.

I only focused on jewish teachings for jews, not jewish teachings for non jews.

I do know that there are 7 laws that non jews need to keep to get into heaven. Those are the 7 laws given to Noach.

Judaism 101: Jewish Attitudes Toward Non-Jews

The Seven Laws of Noah
According to traditional Judaism, G-d gave Noah and his family seven commandments to observe when he saved them from the flood. These commandments, referred to as the Noahic or Noahide commandments, are inferred from Genesis Ch. 9, and are as follows: 1) to establish courts of justice; 2) not to commit blasphemy; 3) not to commit idolatry; 4) not to commit incest and adultery; 5) not to commit bloodshed; 6) not to commit robbery; and 7) not to eat flesh cut from a living animal. These commandments are fairly simple and straightforward, and most of them are recognized by most of the world as sound moral principles. Any non-Jew who follows these laws has a place in the world to come.

The Noahic commandments are binding on all people, because all people are descended from Noah and his family. The 613 mitzvot of the Torah, on the other hand, are only binding on the descendants of those who accepted the commandments at Sinai and upon those who take on the yoke of the commandments voluntarily (by conversion). In addition, the Noahic commandments are applied more leniently to non-Jews than the corresponding commandments are to Jews, because non-Jews do not have the benefit of Oral Torah to guide them in interpreting the laws. For example, worshipping G-d in the form of a man would constitute idolatry for a Jew; however, according to some sources, the Christian worship of Jesus does not constitute idolatry for non-Jews.
