Roamer.......I don't think they really know much of anything.
[Galatians 2:16-17] 16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
Here we are first told about "works of the Law". This phrase has been so much misunderstood by Main Streams Christians as they believe the reference is to the Law of Moses. They automatically believe Paul is saying....."disregard Torah!" That's just stupid!
What did Paul say about Peter? Was he not following the Law (Torah) when he separated himself from the Gentiles [Galatians 2:12]? Of course he wasn't. He was merely following the dictates of the "Oral" law, the Talmud. You can search Torah from stem to stern and will not find any reference to separate yourself from Gentiles. Man's law is not Yahweh's Law! But you can constantly see Paul ripping the Talmud........the doctrine from Babylon!
If Main Stream Christianity would pick up their bibles once and a while and actually attempt to understand the Hebrew thought process that is prevalent throughout.....you would see a lot less stupid comments about silly things like this.
Yep. It is certainly a logical error to me. A guy sees in the OT that the commandments are good and wholesome and eternal... If one suggests that this is the carnal thing in the NT, that is treated so poorly, then YHWH changed (which He does not). Not to mention that the Jews would have ignored anyone coming at them preaching such a thing - They were warned by YHWH that such would come.
And don't be too hard on folks. !!!Tradition!!! is an awful thing. Rome-colored glasses and Greece in their eyes... Makes it hard to see. There but for the grace of YHWH...
