    John 3:36- Better to Obey Jesus, or to Believe in Jesus?

    In John 3:16-21, it connects our belief in the Son with our obedience, so it does not present belief in the Son as being an alternative to obedience. In Revelation 14:12, those who kept faith in Jesus are the same as those who kept God's commandments. In Luke 10:25:28, Jesus affirmed that the...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    It is important to recognize that a servant of God can speak against obeying what God has commanded for an incorrect reason without speaking against obeying what God has commanded. God commanded circumcision for the reasons that you detailed but He did not command circumcision in order to...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Torah was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the...

    There is no invasion. The Torah is the Word of God, so you don't have any grounds for interpreting the Word became flesh as referring to the Torah and it is plainly evident that he is the embodiment of the Torah by setting a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to it. It what it means...

    God's Word is in complete accordance with God's Word made flesh, so there is no competition for the highest title or a subordinate status. In Deuteronomy 5:31-33 Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to Him without departing from it, so the Torah is the Word of God, which means that your...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    The Torah is God's Word and Jesus is God's Word made flesh, so everything that is true about the Torah is also true about Jesus insofar as he is the embodiment of it. Jesus saying that he the way, the truth, and the life, and the way to know the Father is in accordance with following his...

    The Torah is the way (1 Kings 2:1-3), the truth (Psalm 119:142), and the life (Deuteronomy 32:46-47), and the way to know the Father (Exodus 33:13), and the Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact likeness of His character (Hebrews 1:3), which he embodied through his works by setting a...

    Please explain the logic of Gentiles who do not obey the Torah thinking that the kingdom has been taken from Jews and given to them because Jews did not obey the Torah. Please explain the logic of Gentiles who do obey the Torah thinking that they have replaced Jews as children of the promise...

    I recognize the NT Scriptures, but I do not recognize interpretations of them that turn the against God's Word. Christ set a perfect example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism by walking in sinless obedience to the Torah, so it is up to you whether you want to follow his example, but...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    You're criticizing me for not listening to Ignatius, but you are not listening to the fact that he did not actually say that Christianity does not come from Judaism. Ignatius spoke just as strongly against those who preach the one God of the Law and the Prophets while denying Christ to be the...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    That detail is not at all contrary to the position that Acts 15:19-21 was a starting point. In 1 Corinthian 5:6-8, Paul spoke in regard to how Passover foreshadowed Christ by drawing the connect of him being our Passover lamb. In Colossians 2:16-23, Paul encouraged them not to let anyone judge...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    Christ set a sinless example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism by walking in sinless obedience to the Torah and the problem that the Apostles had with the Judaizers was not that they were teaching Gentiles how to follow Christ but that they were wanting to require Gentiles to become...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    I did not say anything contrary to Romans 4. Please explain how someone can be saved from not being a doer of the Torah without being a doer of the Torah. The only reason why someone would need to have sinless obedience to the Torah is if they are going to give themselves to pay for the sins...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    That is a false dichotomy. Religion is not inauthentic by definition. The Torah is truth (Psalm 119:142). I based everything I said on Scripture in order to show that I was not adding my own ideas. Nowhere does the Bible say that. There is a difference between these two statements: 1.) You...

    Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

    In Psalm 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Torah, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith. Christ spent his ministry...
