John 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
b'shem Y'shua"
DX10>Precisly as written. Christ is speaking. In another place he said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except by me." I never heard of the term "replacement theology", but I do recognize that a dispensation is a system of rules regulating the affirs of men. Christ was not frustated in his ministry as he was crucified from the foundation of the world. Our reconcillation to God through Jesus Christ was always in the mind of God. Regards.

What are the commandments that we are asked by Y'shua to keep? b'shem Y'shua
"What are the commandments that we are asked by Y'shua to keep?"
Just got back from Tennis.
Christ declared that He was not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, though he did defer to Gentiles on occasion. He operated under the Mosaic Dispensation in keeping the old law and also expecting others to do the same. He also expected the Jews to accept the dispensation of John the Baptizer, submitting to this baptism Himself and His disciples baptizing more than John. Once He took the old law out of the way, nailing it to His cross, the world was in transistion from the old covenant to the new covenant, with the new covenant beginning to be disclosed with the first Pentecost following His resurection and both covenants continuing until the gospel had been fully preached. (Col 1:23) Christ gave authority to His disciples to bind the new covenant to us. "But whoso keepeth his word in him verily is the love God perfected...." (1st Jno 2:5) ("eth" implies continuing action. One of the benefits of old English.) The commandments of the new covenant are contained in the New Testament. Hope I have answered your question. Regards.
