One who, as God, introduces a New Covenant.
What kind of messiah abolishes Torah laws but not post-Torah laws?
One who, as God, introduces a New Covenant.
Funny that the Bible contains the "obsolete" laws rather than the ones in effect now.
Once a Protestant begins opening up to the concept of law and merit/demerit, it is almost impossible not to "go all the way." Do you understand this?
Fundamentalist Protestants believe in J*sus because they believe they are in need of "salvation." Salvation is passive. One does not "obtain salvation." One is passively "saved" as one free-falls. If there are laws and rituals, then religion is not salvational at all but statutory.
Judaism/Noachism is consistent because it is a non-salvational, statutory religion. Antinomian Protestantism is consistent (somewhat at least) because it is salvational. Catholicism and Orthodoxy seem to be a hodgepodge of statute and salvationism. To put it bluntly, "salvation" is invoked as an excuse to replace the old rituals, after which their religion becomes statutory.
If Catholic/Orthodox laws, rituals, and traditions are beautiful, then so are those of the Torah. If Protestants are out of line in demanding that Catholics and Orthodox drop their laws, rituals, and traditions, then Catholics and Orthodox are out of line in demanding that Jews abandon the Torah.
