Mark 1:44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.


During his earthly ministry Jesus upheld the law of Moses. Jesus was telling him to make the offerings commanded under the Old Covenant. The covenants were only made with Israel (Hebrews 8:8 Romans 9:4). In the Gospels, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Jesus came to minister to Israel to confirm their promises (Romans 15:8). The Old covenant at this time, was still in effect.

So many fail to recognize that the law was for the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) and the law was given under the old testament. The covenants old and new are only for Israel (Jeremiah 31:31 Romans 9:4). Some follow Christ according to the gospel books of the Bible (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and while they are profitable for us, fail to recognize they are putting themselves under law not grace (Romans 6:14). Church doctrine for us is only found in Paul's epistles.

Of course, the Old Covenant only ended at His death, not during His life. The New Covenant is a will and testament that only comes into effect at the death of the testator.

Nobody puts themselves under grace. A person is only under grace when they abide in Christ....just like we read in Acts and the epistles.

You are infected with Dispensationalism...which is a man-made invention that seeks to make lawlessness legit.

Hello
Not sure what you mean
I would suggest that you spend some time reviewing all the Gospels and discover (a) that Christ ministered to Gentiles while He was on earth (indeed the first believers recorded in the New Testament were the Gentile Magi and then the Samaritans), (b) Christ taught universal spiritual truths which apply to both Jews and Gentiles to this day, and (c) He made it perfectly clear before His ascension that the Gospel was to go out into all the world and be preached to every creature. That He is the Savior of the world.

It was necessary that Jesus of Nazareth be under the Law of Moses until His crucifixion. The day Christ died and said "It is finished" was the day when the Old Covenant came to an end, and the veil within the temple was torn in two from top to bottom supernaturally. Christ came to fulfil that Law, but He also showed the world the higher and spiritual meaning of the Law. For example hatred is equal to murder, and murder is a violation of the Law. But He never taught that anyone could be justified by keeping the laws given in the Torah. He made it crystal clear that only faith in Him ALONE justifies the sinner.

Jesus came to the Jews, not the Gentiles.

Magi were neither Israel or church. They were Zoroastrian.

The first recorded believers were Jews who recognize Jesus as fulfilling prophecy.

Recognizing something does not make you a believer/follower.

Just like Nebuchadnezzar recognized the Jewish God but died a pagan.

Satan and the demons recognized who Christ was but they never followed him.

They may well have been Zoroastrian at one time, but don't tell me you believe that Zoroastrians cannot be converted and become believers. Everything recorded about the Magi tells us that they were genuine believers, long before any Jew turned to Christ.

It does not say they converted. It says they returned their home countries.

Hello

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Romans 6:15

Hello

you said.....that Christ ministered to Gentiles while He was on earth

Scripture says.....These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:5-6

you said....He made it perfectly clear before His ascension that the Gospel was to go out into all the world and be preached to every creature.

Yes the same gospel that Christ preached.....And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15

you said.....That He is the Savior of the world............Scripture says......And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Matthew 14:24......many or the world?

The rest of what you said was well said

1 John 4:14 "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world".

to be, for God so Loved the "world"". John 3:16

1 Timothy 2:3 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1 Timothy 2:4 "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

to be if they repent, which is God goal for all men.

It was not quite 'the time of the gentiles' because the cup of the Jews was not quite full.

This is simply UNBELIEVABLE.

Go read Matthew's Gospel. Anyone who worships Christ is a converted believer.
Which Christ?

You tried the same kind of arguments for Nebuchadnezzar.

At the white throne judgment how many plead all the different Christ then were sent to the lake.

The seventh church is called a Christian church but none of them get raptured.

Matthew was still under Mosaic law.

I notice you did not cite any specific verses.

Hello

My point was that yes, absolutely, Christ is savior of the world.............To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19

But a broader view.....He also came to shed his blood for many, not all....for the believing remnant of Israel....for the new testament....And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Matthew 14:24.

The whole world is under grace, but they have to accept it.

And your comment on dispensationalism is absurd. It is only a way to view how God has changed how he deals with man throughout history.

Hello

Lawlessness teachers whoever they are would be refuted by Titus

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
