Pick and Choose Laws

[Giaour]

Ok vic,

you said you keep all the laws Jesus did.

Do you want to retract that statement or pursue it?

[Vickilynn]

Ok,

the Sabbath.

Seventh day of the week.

God rested on the seventh day.

We are to rest on the seventh day as well.

Saturday is the Sabbath day.

Why is this disregarded and now sunday is the sabbath?

Who changed it?

When?

Why?

Shalom,

We celebrate the Sabbath from sundown Friday night to sundown Saturday night (AKA: the Seventh Day).

We do not disregard it. We honor it and we honor Yeshua in it. Also, we take the L-rd's Table each Friday night as part of our Sabbath celebration.

Shalom,

First off, my name is Vickilynn. Thanks so much.

Secondly, please show me where I said that I "keep all the laws Jesus did."

That's not what I said, but it's close enough to cause confusion.

I'll be happy to clarify if you like.

37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38. This is the first and great commandment.

39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Ok, so we have 300+ laws before Christ that noone could follow properly so Jesus came and said, ok look, if you follow these 2, you will show your love for me.

How much easier could Jesus have made it for us?

But now we have some Christians telling us that we are not saved because we have a tattoo, or we smoke or we eat pork or we celebrate holidays, or we dont tithe etc blah blah blah.

The pharisees were doing the same thing back in the days of Christ.

Telling the gentiles they had to observe the feast days and be circumcised and follow the dietary laws etc.

Jesus called them vipers.

Stop putting laws upon us that makes our burden too much to handle.

We are led by the Spirit and told right from wrong, we dont need the laws to tie our hands.

Forgive me for not taking the time to type the last 6 letters of your name.

I didnt realize it was an issue for you.

A perfect example of how to live is found in our L-rd Yeshua. He kept the Law as well as embodied it.

If it's good enough for Yeshua, it's good enough for me.

This is where I assumed you kept all of the laws Jesus did.

It sure seems like that is what you were saying.

Gal 3:1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? 4Have you suffered so much for nothing

[Vickilynn]

Forgive me for not taking the time to type the last 6 letters of your name.

Shalom,

Now THAT'S rude.

It's simple common courtesy.

If courtesy is not an aspect of our discussion, we have nothing more to discuss.

A perfect example of how to live is found in our L-rd Yeshua. He kept the Law as well as embodied it.

If it's good enough for Yeshua, it's good enough for me.

This is where I assumed you kept all of the laws Jesus did.

It sure seems like that is what you were saying.

Sorry, your assumption is incorrect.

It depends on which laws you are talking about, NT laws or OT laws. There is a difference.

I was just wondering the other day, why don't women wear head coverings in church anymore. I knew a girl who wore hats to church every Sunday. She looked like an older lady but it was her trademark. I don't know if she still wears them. But that also goes along with a woman cutting their hair. The Bible says, in more than one place that a woman's hair is her crown and glory.

1 Corinthians 11:5-7 5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head
