Woodee I disagree with you on the feast of tabernacles for his birth. Esp in sept. What you are quoting is a Jewish year or what they call a civil year. Our govt. does the same. oct to oct.The only time in scripture that a civil year is done is from the Day of Atonement to the next day of Atonement. This being used for thhe land sabbaths 7 years and the Jubilee the year of release when familys next generation gets back what thier fathers sold. This also correspondes to the feast of weeks. Which is calculated from the day after the sabbath that is the 1st sabbath after the 1st day of Unleavened bread. The day after Passover.So what you have between the jubilles and land sabbaths and feast of weeks or (Pentecost 50) are in direct correlation. pentecost is the day after the completion of 7 sabbaths and the Jubilees is the year after 7 sabbaths of years. The Biblical calender goes from 1st of Abib meaning green ears. So the 1st month is the 1st new moon after the spotting of green ears (barley) So we have the year going from spring to spring. The 7th month starts in sept. with the Feast of Trumpets the 10 days later is the Day of Atonement (fasting) The Masters prayer is the day of atonement. When he said what he did people did not worry about anyone elses sins because the High priest once a year went into the Holy of Holies as the people waited out side to see if they were forgive. Think about that when you recite or read the masters prayer. 5 days later is the 1st day of the feast of Tabernacles which lasts for 7 days. on the 8th day is a holy day. This represents when all sin is whipped from us when the New Jerusalem comes down. This is why circumsising a new born male on the 8th day sybolises his entrance into the world. As we will be in the new world.In acts 21 paul is told he is preaching do not circumsise infants. This was not true. What had been said once that 8th day passes the purpose of circumsism since messiah means nothing. But if you chose tp do it. This is what he was speaking of that either one meant nothing. Not to a newbown.Ok i will have to back track now to the feast of trumpets.

Ps 81:1-4
To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to Yahweh our strength, Shout to the Elohim of Jacob.

2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

4 For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of Yahweh of Jacob.
YLT

so what we have in the prophecy of the feast is this.

Yahshua impaled at passover to forgive us of sin. As the lamb of Yahweh.

1 start of the 7 holy days. 1st day of unleavened bread. This means no leaving, not puffed up as they did when leaving egypt. We do the for seven days from High Sabbath to High Sabbath. Reflecting on our sins and forgiving others This is also the time to look at what you believe. Is it right.

So Yahshua took away the sins of the world laid in the tomb and we go into a humble attitude asking for forgiveness and forgiving as we check our beliefs like Yahshua said..

This is Yahshua's words about what to keep yourselves from and how to recongnize it.

Mark 12:36-40

36 for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, Yahweh said to my master, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies — thy footstool;

37 therefore David himself saith of him Master, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

38 and he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,

40 who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
YLT
Because remember what james and Jer. said also.

James 1:25-2:1

25 and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy in his doing.

26 If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;

27 religion pure and undefiled with Yahshua and t6he Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation — unspotted to keep himself from the world.

This feast was fullfilled also as the disciples gathered in the upper room.

Pentecost or 50 daysfrom the normal sabbath that was between the 2 High Sabbaths we come to Pentecosts/feast of weeks... This is like a fullfillment and letting you know what is to come... But we know this fullfillment came at the giving of the Holy Spirit...


Now as i Quoted above in ps 81. The Blowing of trumpets and the shouting to Yahweh.

How do we announce the arrival of a king? The Blowing of trumpets and the bringing of gifts. The star the wise men saw was an angel as Rev tells us. What were the wise men looking for and why did they disobey herod? These Wise men were from Persia. the Zorasterism religions priests were called Magi. They took awhile to get thier and we know when herod realised he had been tricked. He ordered the slaughter of infants 2 years old and up. So apperently Yahshua was around 2 years old when he went to Egypt. This very well may of been around the time of the Magi Priests come to give gifts. But the Magi was looking for Mithra. Who was said to be reborn over and over. IMO..Now proving he was born then we have to look at Yahshua's Uncle.
Luke 1:5

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest , by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;
YLT


Luke 1:13

13 and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,
YLT

Now the importance here is THE COURSE OF ABIJAH. Thier was 24 courses of 2 weeks that the priests of thier household took care of the temple duties. Now we see Zacharias course was from Abijah.

So what course was he in for in 9 months Yahshua's older cousin John was to be born.

Luke 1:8-9

8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest , in the order of his course before Yahweh,

9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of Yahweh,
YLT

Now also in this Yahshua's uncle acting as priests and his lot was to make perfumes.

1 Chron 24:6
And Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writeth them before the king and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers, for priests and for Levites: one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar, and one being taken possession of for Ithamar.
YLT
If you read on in this chapter these 24 were adopted priests for Aarons sons.. Quite an honor.

1 Chron 24:10 These courses started with the 1st month 1st day. That Yahweh showed King David to Build.

10 for Hakkoz the seventh, for Abijah the eighth,
YLT
Here we see Abijah was of the 8th course of acting as priests and duties in the Temple.

Now Woodee I see you have studied much as most have no idea about the feasts or whan Yahshua was probally born. This next verses are almost to me beyond belief.

In 2chron 5 is a dedication of the temple that Solomon became king. In this dedication we can not only this dedication of a physical temple but also the 3rd one us.

Thier is also more to this dedication as it shows this all being done in the 7th month, trumpets blowing as in Ps 81.


2 Chron 5:1-3
5:1 And all the work that Solomon made for the house of Yahweh is finished, and Solomon bringeth in the sanctified things of David his father, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he hath put among the treasures of the house of Elohim.

2 Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David — it [is] Zion.

3 And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the feast — it [is] the seventh month;
YLT

I am sure you see some interesting things here. It is the 7th month.

The most important thing is what's going in now to be dedicated. Now look at how they dedicate.

Who is comming Woodee??

2 Chron 5:5-6:1

5 and they bring up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the vessels of the sanctuary that [are] in the tent; brought them up have the priests, the Levites;
6 and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.
7 And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;
8 and the cherubs are spreading out wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves, from above;
9 and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen out of the ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen without; and it is there unto this day.
10 There is nothing in the ark but the two tables that Moses gave in Horeb, where Yahweh covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from Egypt.
11 And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the sanctuary — for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by courses ,
12 and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brethren, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them priests, to a hundred and twenty, blowing with trumpets —
13 yea, it cometh to pass, as one [are] trumpeters and singers, to sound — one voice — to praise and to give thanks to Yahweh, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to Yahweh, for good, for to the age [is] His kindness, that the house is filled with a cloud — the house of Yahweh,
14 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the honour of Yahweh hath filled the house of Elohim.

I think I will stop here as this get very deep. I enjoy it though. I will leave you with these questions.

How do you announce a king?

How many priests were announcing and what did they have on.


To really see something cool is check out Acts 1:15 and then the 1st part of Acts 2.


May Yahweh Show Us and Teach Us to Give an Account to Every Man... Blessings of Shalom...Miles

Where would you have him come from, if at all?


I think the details of the story of the life of the man call Jesus are extremely questionable. My guess is that a mortal man named Jesus had a huge impact on people and he was wrongly crucified and made into a martyr, and finally into God himself.

Should he have not been born at all, or born and lived in quiet anonymity and not embraced what was in His heart?


I don’t think there was necessarily anything wrong with how Jesus lived his life. In fact, since we can’t have any real clue of how it might have truly lived we don’t really know what he might have been like in reality. Assuming that these stories were indeed sparked by a single man. There are scholars who believe that it was a historical period when there were many doomsday preachers. The story of Jesus might have actually been concocted from the lives of many different men.

Is it demagoguery?


I believe the biblical version is. Yes I do.

What then?

Should His life be reduced to insults?


Not knowing the truth of his life who can say?

It seems to me that even the Gospels mock him by claiming that he ever said that only those who believe in him will find everlasting life. I personally believe that if there is any truth to that interpretation at all, it’s not a matter of believing in the divinity of Jesus, but rather in believing in what he taught. That makes much more sense. If you do what he taught (whether you acknowledge him or not) you’ll find heaven right here on earth. In fact, you don’t need to necessarily “follow” his teachings. It may well be possible that you just naturally agree with him and would live the way he taught naturally.

In fact, if you actually give any credit to the Gospels at all, they have Jesus saying that not everyone needs a spiritual physician. I personally feel that he may very well have said that and he wasn’t being sarcastic either!


I find it disengenuous that many critics will argue the finer points of religious doctrine yet embrace the wrods of a man that clearly have moved many generations of men to move civilizations' landscape to somehow acceed to His popular demand without really embracing His totality as a form of government.


In my opinion Jesus didn’t teach anything differnet from what Buddha taught. In fact, I personally believe that much of what Jesus taught he actually learned from having read about the works of Buddha and other Eastern Mystic. I think the whole idea of Jesus having died to ‘pay’ for the sins of many was made up by the authors of the gospels. Demagoguery, as you say. Tell the people what you’d like them to believe.

His words are selectively admired and despised and by most there is something likeable about His presence.


The point of fact is that we don’t have ‘his words’. Every keeps referring to the scriptures as the ‘words of Jesus’, but the fact is that there isn’t a single solitary word in the Bible that was actually written by Jesus. Everything in the Bible is hearsay.

We really don’t have a clue what the man ever said, precisely. All we have is what the writers of the gospels would like us to believe. And I personally do believe that the gospels are demagoguery. I don’t believe that each gospel represents a single document written by a single author. I believe that these were stories that may have gone through many revisions before they finally reach the form that they have in the Bible. The original authors may more may not have had good intentions, but I believe that as these stories were revised more and more demagoguery was added.

Most scholars believe that these stories affected each other. In other words, it’s not true that there are four ‘totally separate’ gospels. What exists is four different versions of a single story, and those four different versions were most likely affects by each other as they evolved.

On that page you posted the Jews are claiming that there were over 300 such stories, but only four were selected to be placed in the Bible because the other 296 either didn’t include, or outright contradicted, the things that the demagoguerists wanted to include in the Bible. bigsmile

In other words, we don’t have enough information to say anything about the man named Jesus.

But we can say that the demagoguery is self-inconsistent with the Godhead its claiming to idolize.




Yes, Abra.

I agree with you completely on an intellectual level and the imperical eviddence is alarmingly not well planned from the beginning od the fire that was lit in the hearts and minds of believers from the very beginning.

The spiritual reality is another matter, though. Enough said there for now.bigsmile

The business plan, if you could call it that, is not a blueprint for man's wisdom being traceable in immaculate scientific discipline that we have come to accept as a required aspect of verifying crdible knowledge today.

As you are quick to point out about all religions, they are modeled after writings that share many similarities. But within the human stage of endeavor and oral tradition lies certain fundamental beliefs that are universal. They have all been penned after the fact, and generally for use by the intelligencia of their day for poreferential edification of the children principally of the leaders od each society. That is my take on their perceived authorship and purpose.

The debates are of endless probability.
Relying on a global event of intervention by supernatural means is also bereft of personal responsibility to be accountable for ones actions.
Depriving oneself of personal enrichment and deployment of age old attitudes and behaviors derived from age old experiences and insights into the quality of life is not an advancement of living well by any means.

We both have come to find many valuable insights that have shaped our content and character to be displayed and critiqued by those around us.

We all have passions and beliefs...and knowledge.

At the heart of all things gleaned from the past, are the effects upon the societies and cultures that comprise the present world we live in and understanding how we all may best follow our hearts and live well is always an open invitation to unique and individual choices that we all must make.

The more I study to comprehend that which wears well on my soul also leads me to question that which is not harmonious to the inherent presence of God in my life. Seeking to clarify all things that touch thwe significance of the course and tenor of my life cannot be ignored nor swept under the rug, if you will.

It would be suspiciously arrogant of myself to assume that anything incontrovertible is so without digesting the voracity and imperical path of certain and several commentaries of importunity that hold a different or divergent position or conclusion.

Certainly matters of faith appear conclusory when viewed not as a personal experience but rather as a dogmatic and rhetorical blueprint for controlling free will and choices in liberty.

Be it because of our good fortune to be born in our time in American History or otherwise, it is always healthy to consider all things that are relevent to our beliefs and conclusions about life, evven at the cost of some deconstruction of falsehoods entered into our person unaware and seemingly in innocense.

Man is not innocent and there is always a cost and consequence of every word spoken.

None is without significance.

so what we have in the prophecy of the feast is this.

1 start of the 7 holy days. 1st day of unleavened bread. This means no leaving, not puffed up as they did when leaving egypt. We do the for seven days from High Sabbath to High Sabbath. Reflecting on our sins and forgiving others This is also the time to look at what you believe. Is it right.

So Yahshua took away the sins of the world laid in the tomb and we go into a humble attitude asking for forgiveness and forgiving as we check our beliefs like Yahshua said..

This is Yahshua's words about what to keep yourselves from and how to recongnize it.

Mark 12:36-40

36 for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, Yahweh said to my master, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies — thy footstool;

37 therefore David himself saith of him Master, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

YLT
Because remember what james and Jer. said also.

James 1:25-2:1

25 and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy in his doing.

Who was said to be reborn over and over. IMO..Now proving he was born then we have to look at Yahshua's Uncle.
Luke 1:5

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest , by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;
YLT


Luke 1:13

13 and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,
YLT

Now the importance here is THE COURSE OF ABIJAH. Thier was 24 courses of 2 weeks that the priests of thier household took care of the temple duties. Now we see Zacharias course was from Abijah.

So what course was he in for in 9 months Yahshua's older cousin John was to be born.

Luke 1:8-9

8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest , in the order of his course before Yahweh,

9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of Yahweh,
YLT

Now also in this Yahshua's uncle acting as priests and his lot was to make perfumes.

1 Chron 24:6
And Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writeth them before the king and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers, for priests and for Levites: one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar, and one being taken possession of for Ithamar.
YLT
If you read on in this chapter these 24 were adopted priests for Aarons sons.. Quite an honor.

1 Chron 24:10 These courses started with the 1st month 1st day. That Yahweh showed King David to Build.

10 for Hakkoz the seventh, for Abijah the eighth,
YLT
Here we see Abijah was of the 8th course of acting as priests and duties in the Temple.

Now Woodee I see you have studied much as most have no idea about the feasts or whan Yahshua was probally born. This next verses are almost to me beyond belief.

In 2chron 5 is a dedication of the temple that Solomon became king. In this dedication we can not only this dedication of a physical temple but also the 3rd one us.

Thier is also more to this dedication as it shows this all being done in the 7th month, trumpets blowing as in Ps 81.

3 And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the feast — it [is] the seventh month;
YLT

I am sure you see some interesting things here. It is the 7th month.

The most important thing is what's going in now to be dedicated. Now look at how they dedicate.

Who is comming Woodee??

2 Chron 5:5-6:1

5 and they bring up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the vessels of the sanctuary that [are] in the tent; brought them up have the priests, the Levites;
6 and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.

WOW! That's a lot Miles. I know how hard that is to put together!bigsmile

I guess you are saying thaT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES IS THE TIMING OF hIS BIRTH? OOPS tab lock error there.sorry.
By virtue of circumcision on the 8th day?

The rest of it I am not certain concerning your train oif thought there, but I undersand that you are fond of studying the end of the age and the time whe Israel finds itswelf at ground zero for being set up by the anti-christ anf the appearance of the two witnesses.

Yes, the two Olive trees, yes, the golden vials, yes, I see all that.
Yes, I understand the trumpets and seals, but We may not exactl agree on where we are in the performance of those thiungs, historically and chronologically speaking.

But I will say, that I am more concerned with today, and the people around me that I am involved in by my contact and touch on their lives in my daily world.

I am paramountly more concerned with being instant in and out of season, if you will...meaning that today is the day that is now and now is all there is for me, whether awake or sleeping, efvery day is today and every day is now. Life is fluid, and I don't particularly favor holding out for fututre events to alter the course of my daily life, but rather be the unknowable ticking time bomb that seeks to distract me from being in the moment and avaiilable in the moment wherever I find myself.

I am always very busy...and at the same time always very leisurely. I make room for unplanned events to occur, leave room in my day for things to have my attention that are not anticipated, and yet I am always busy and engaged and never idle for more than a few moments at a time.

The future will attend to itself, this generation and the people in my life are all that concerns me. This includes you and others here on JSH as well. Today is one of those days that has caught me doing differently than normally I would on a Wednesday, but so be it.

So far a sIsrael goes in the "last days", Miles, I am waiting to see where the ashes of the red heifer will come from, and the High priests' rod. Will it be Aaron's rod?

WHat crown will the King wear? David's? and whose actually is it? God's crwon or that of a vanquished King of old not given charge to the things of the Lord?

The table is set, and you probably know this all too well that only the go ahead is needed to actually assemble the third temple.

OK it could happen very soon, but in the meantime, Miles, I am more concerned with not being distracted from life and my responsiblilties and my availability towards others needs and welfare atound me, be they friwend or foe, known or unknown.

I shouldn't pose more questions to you, but they are not rteally questions...more like rhetorical affirmations of your ppassion for these things.

God Bless youflowerforyou :heart: bigsmile

yes I agree we have to attend to today. Paul sqaid today is the day of salvation speaking of no one knows thier death.

As far as prophecy goes yes I am deep into study. I have found IMO. that the sacrafices and the law tells us more about the prophecy you speak of and no one studies it hardly. I believe the Temple is already in front of our lives. Why would Yahweh let him sacrafice in his? Why would the priests run to the hills? I believe they would die first. I also believ Rev 2 tells us where he is at or comming from to unite the world. Thier is so much I could write a book which i have been thinking about but where to begin? Shalom...Miles

Ps What I am talking about circumsision is a prophecy in itself.A baby being circumsized on the 8th day. Which very seldom does the scriptures talk about anything going past the 7 day wee. That the end of the feast of tabernacles is the finally circumsision when sin is whiped out. Whe we all become one. As an infant comes into his own on the 8th day. You can not with out a dr circumsize a baby before the 8th day. he will not stop bleeding. but the 8th day his blood will colagulate.. very strange and very much a sign of Yahweh's wisdom on how he designed us.

If you research carefully you'll find Jesus never existed and is only a personification of the Sun as was a plethora of other Sun Gods that came before him. The sun is the most adorned object of all time, the giver of life. The night and darkness was always personified as being evil. Bad vs. good, the darkness vs. the light is the most ubiquitous duality known to man. Ancient people personified constellations and different groupings of stars which they created elaborate myths about. We still call many of them the same names. Jesus is just the personified version of the sun we follow through our current age or precession of the equinoxes. The ancient Egyptians along with other cultures long before them recognized that approximately every 2150 years the sunrise on the morning of the spring equinox would occur at a different sign of the Zodiac. This has to do with a slow angular wobble that the Earth maintains as it rotates on it's axis. Jesus was "born" at the beginning of the age of Pisces which is symbolized by two fish. The Jesus fish you see on the back of people's cars is one example of the symbolism of the current age we're in.

Jesus' birth sequence is completely astrological. There is a very interesting phenomenon that occurs around December 25th, or the winter solstice. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days become shorter and colder. From the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to move south and get smaller and more scarce. The shortening of the days and the expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice symbolized the process of death to the ancients. It was the death of the Sun. By December 22nd, the Sun's demise was fully realized, for the Sun, having moved south continually for 6 months, makes it to it's lowest point in the sky. Here a curious thing occurs, the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably, for 3 days. During this 3 day pause, the Sun resides in the vicinity of the Southern Cross, or Crux, constellation. After this time on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north, foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring. Thus it is said, the Sun died on the cross, was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again. This is why Jesus and numerous other Sun Gods share the crucifixion, 3-day death, and resurrection concept. It is the Sun's transition period before it shifts its direction back into the Northern Hemisphere, bringing Spring, and thus salvation. The star in the east is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which, on December 24th, aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt. These 3 bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times, The Three Kings. The Three Kings and the brightest star, Sirius, all point to the place of the sunrise on December 25th. This is why the Three Kings "follow" the star in the east, in order to locate the sunrise, the birth of the sun. However, they did not celebrate the resurrection of the Sun until the spring equinox, or Easter. This is because at the spring equinox, the Sun officially overpowers the evil darkness, as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration than night, and the revitalizing conditions of spring emerge.

I could go on but I'm sure you get the point. The Bible has more to do with astrology than anything else. Most of the Bible, including the story of Moses, the great flood, the ten commandments and so on and so forth are plagiarized from the ancient Egyptian religion.

Oh yea I would just ask you to read what i had wrote closely. You said to be in season and out of season to answer every man. What I was showing is even with computers of our day theses parallels could not possibly be man made. So knowing all the book very well is the only way to accomplish this. We or most have been trained to focus on the NT and use the OT as reference. That is exactly backwards. If you know The law and the prophets then the NT will make perfect sence...Blessings...Miles

Here is biblical proof that Paul used a modern day technique called "rapport" to seduce people and win them to his faith.
Or else you can just call it deceit. He was like a used car salesman or a pick up artist.


Corinthians 9:20-22: To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law -- though not being myself under the law -- that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law -- not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ -- that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak.

I believe he was referring to the fact that he wasnt circumcised, a clever pitch to the pagan males that had no interest in chopping off part of their anatomy.

paul was circumsized.. What he is saying thier is if you are not a law breaker. Which is what Hebrews talks about it being in your heart and mind. That for you their can be no law. To be under the law then is to focus on judgement. For thier to be law thier must also be a Judge. Yahshua and his father are the only true judges.
Then the rest all he is saying is he worked with them tried to understand them as he taught them how to be released from death...shalom...Miles

Paul before his conversion was well known. He was a pharasee of Pharasee. None of those thing cause you to sin. Paul knew the law very well. If you and spider believe as you say then the Chosen Vessel of Yahshua in acts 9. He would not be. Then that makes Yahshua not the Messiah that spoke to him but a demon or satan. You can then throw your book out as it has no use.I would like anyone to show or prove to me that Paul did not go into a temple and performed animal sacrafices acting as a priest in Acts 21.If he did then the christian thought of throwing the law out is not from Yahweh.

That is a stretch, Miles. Thw law doesn't affect the jew any advantage in Christ, but living for it will deny the very grace of the Christ in their hearts if they return to the belief in performing the duty of the law concerning the judgement upon their lives in due course. The law is holy and good...it is the measure of sin, or error , if you will. But the law in nowise is ones salvation.

Let's look further at Acts 21 and put the correct colors in their rightful place.

Acts 21:24-26.(for expedience, I will only show verse 25,concerning the gentiles)

25. "As touchinmg the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and frm blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."

No he not all of those things, he was just trying to fit in. It is called "pretending" for the sake of the relationship. It is called "rapport". Some call it being a hypocrite.

What would you call me if I went to church and pretended to be a Christian just to fit in, and continued to do so in order to find converts to my coven of witches?

I was invited to a ladies house last week. She is a member of the seventh day adventist church. I asked her what it was about and she said it was just a little "get together." Not wanting to hurt her feelings, I agreed to go. It turns out the "get together" was some kind of bible study for their church. She had not told me what it was.

These are sweet and well meaning older ladies. I did not want to insult them or be rude so I stayed for the meeting and met their new pastor. He was a nice young fellow. I stayed the entire meeting, discussing with the rest of them, and praying with them. Not because I believe in their doctrine but because I know the power of prayer. (It is like the casting of a spell. It does not matter to whom the prayer is directed. It only matters if believers are present.)

Anyway, although I was a little perturbed that I was not told that this was a bible study class, I knew the ladies had good intentions. However, I will not go to another meeting. It could only end up in a conflict with the group.

That is probably what Paul did. In order to be in harmony with the group you aught not to start off telling them that they are wrong and that they are all going to hell. It is called diplomacy and persuasion.

Jeanniebean,

I think you are taking the scripture the wrong way.

Paul was a Pharisee, so he understands how a Jew thinks.
Paul was outside of the law, so he could understand how a gentile thought.
Paul was weak and many believe he was deformed, so he knows what the weak think.

Paul was saying that he chooses how to approach issues depending upon the audience he is speaking to. The truth and what Paul was teaching didn't change, but how he conveyed the truth was changed. If Paul had gone to the gentiles and said "See all these prophecies that Jesus fullfilled?", the Gentiles wouldn't have cared one bit. They didn't know the prophecies, they didn't know the law. Paul wouldn't convert any gentile with that approach. But by approaching the gentiles while matching his approach to their thought processes and beliefs, he could better reach them. In one sermon, Paul talked about how the Romans were very religious and that they even had a temple to the unknown god. Then Paul explained that the "unknown" god was the God of Abraham and he was the only true God. Knowing about their belief in the "unknown" god allowed Paul to better speak to his audience. This is not hypocracy and it's not deceit, it's a very good technique for speaking in public.

The unknown God should have remained "Unknown." To inject the God of Abraham into that slot was trickery and maybe even a lie. He had no proof of that, and no right to high jack the Roman's concept of God. But it was an opportunity to persuade that he could not resist. He was a very smart and persuasive person, but I would not trust a person like that. Diplomacy is all that was.

To tell me that you think I am "taking scripture the wrong way" is your opinion. I can only interpret anything by using the sum total of my knowledge and experience with human nature. That is what I did. I draw my conclusions on that, as unbiased as possible. By that, I am not obliged to believe that scripture is the word of God and therefore the unvarnished truth no matter what.

Good job explaining Paul thier. I do not understand the post earlier where i thought at least you were agreeing that Paul was a charliton.

Quote..... That is a stretch, Miles. Thw law doesn't affect the jew any advantage in Christ, but living for it will deny the very grace of the Christ in their hearts if they return to the belief in performing the duty of the law concerning the judgement upon their lives in due course. The law is holy and good...it is the measure of sin, or error , if you will. But the law in nowise is ones salvation.

Let's look further at Acts 21 and put the correct colors in their rightful place.

Acts 21:24-26.(for expedience, I will only show verse 25,concerning the gentiles)

25. "As touchinmg the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and frm blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."

what you are saying is in contrast to the scriptures. You are saying Yahweh made a mistake.Yet you say the law is holy and good. It is a measure of sin or error. I am glad you see the law is still enforce yet few want to abide by it. That is like saying the law says Do not murder but if you murder it does not mean you will go to jail. The law does not mean that. It only means you made an error or mistake. Do you really believe what you wrote?

Now acts 21. You say I did not put the correct colors in thier rightful place. I didn't?

You quoted 1 verse I quoted the whole chapter.

Lets see what you quoted.

Let's look further at Acts 21 and put the correct colors in their rightful place.

Acts 21:24-26.(for expedience, I will only show verse 25,concerning the gentiles)

25. "As touchinmg the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and frm blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."


Now since i gave the viewer the Whole chapter to ponder. I will quote some including yours...

Here is Paul saying he is ready to die for the Master.

Acts 21:12-15

12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered,"What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Master Yahshua."

14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying,"The will of the Master be done."
NKJV

They knew Paul was an outlaw to the Jew and going to Jerusalem was very dangerous for him yet he was willing to die if need be.

I would say Paul was very sure of his beliefs.

Paul does go to Jerusalem and meets with James.

Acts 21:15-20

And after those days we packed and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

17 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. 19 When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which Yahweh had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
NKJV
Paul was not frightened in the leasy bit. He seems to be overjoyed.

Acts 21:20-23
20 And when they heard it, they glorified Yahweh. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law; 21 but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs. 22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
NKJV


Here it seems that Pauls brethern are concerned about Pauls welfare.

Saying the Jews say to the gentiles they need nought circumsize the children nor walk after thier customs.

These they are talking about are Jewish converts who believe Paul is a liar. Notice they speak of the circumcision of the children not a man. Acts 15 decided that.

Acts 15:19-21
19 Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to Yahweh, 20 but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
NKJV
Now woodee here are the things you quoted in Acts 21:25

This had been settled amoung the brethern before because in Acts 21 Paul is comming back to Jerusalem.

One thing of quick note to why these 4 things was all they required of the gentile converts.

Why? 21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

This is very interseting for all of you who say the 7th day sabbath has been done away. They were telling them to learn the law of Moses from the Jews every Sabbath in every city.

Wow. They are telling them to go learn the law of Moses. How can this be!!!!!

On with acts 21

Acts 21:22-26
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come. 23 Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow. 24 Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality."


NKJV


Now woodee the part you V25 quoted anyone can see is talking about acts 15. It even says so..we have written and decided.

This verse is only speaking of what Paul has said and all the Apostles had agreed to in Acts 15.


23 Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow. 24 Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law.

Here we have 4 men with a vow on thier heads. His disciples are telling him to Take them into the temple and
SACRAFICE AS A PRIEST FOR THEM.

Read Numbers 6: 5 -25 .. This is the same vow Samson had and Yahshua's Cousin John the Baptists. Part of the vow was no razor would come upon them during thier vow this is why they shave thier head at the end of it.

This Vowel was on John when the Angel told Zecharias his father the priest that Elizibeth was pregnant and to call him John or Yahchan meaning beloved. Chosen of Yahweh since conception.

Yahshua spoke of his name also.

Matt 11:9-11

9'But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,

10 for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

11 Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women , a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
YLT

So this Vow is the very vow that is spoken of that EliYah would have preparing the way before Yahshua.

I would say the Nazarite vow is very important.Escecially when Eliyah must come 1st before Yahshua comes back.

Acts 21:26-28

Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.

27 Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
NKJV


Paul performed his duties to take these 4 men into the Temple. He obeyed the law.

Yet the Jewish people got very upset why. They claimed he took gentile Greeks in which was not true.

Acts 21:28-29
8 crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place." 29(For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
NKJV

PAUL obeyed the law all the Apostles OBEYED the Law.

Paul was taken custody by a mob. If you read the rest of Acts closely you will see that.

1 Paul speaks to the people boldly

2 He appeals to Ceaser that he is a Roman citizen.

3.. This is the very act that landed Paul in ROME. in which we get our next book from him.

Woodee I took nothing out of contexts at all.

I would study this deeply and ask Yahweh what does this mean.

I would also whenever you see any writings in the NT see if thier is a law you did not realize that is really being done.

We are without law to those who keep the law. How can it have judgement. But to those who deny the Law. Deny the Temple that the law has always been in.

May Yahweh Open Our Hearts and Minds... Blessings...Miles

You assume much, my friend

Christianity is about the personal relationship one finds with God, in Christ and evidenced, verified and eternally substantiated through the presence of the Holy Spirit upon one's person.

That is the ultimate fulfilling of the law.

The laws of righteousness are written in the heart of the believer and in the mind of the believer by the Holy Spirit.

The relationship is the perfecting of the saint.

The finishing of that work is the conforming of oneself to the image of Christ, being indwelt.

God is my righteousness, Miles. Not the law and the things availed to me that led me to seek God until I found, and was found by Him.

He is teaching me of those things that I need to know and be apprehended of.

This is the apprehension that makes Christianity what it is.

The relationship and fellowship with, of and to God in Christ.

Everything else is to bring us to the point of recognizing the impossibility of ever fulfilling the law in our own works, in our own strength, in our own will.

That is the perogative of God.

He is immutable, but we are not, nor is the law.

The law is our schoolmaster, until that which is perfect is come.

This is why the Bible exists and was preserved and is shared worldwide in every generation.

The prophecies and the law are fulfilled in the testimony of Jesus.

Get the HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!!

everyone, this is the whole point of the offering of God in scripture.

That is the simplest answer for the existence of the gospel.

Those who display a real faith in this promise will be received.

Learn of Him and learn from Him to know Him and His will for your own life.

This is what we preach.

It requires the hearer to be a doer and act on the offer.

GET THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!
