    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Answer my question. How were the disciples of Jesus in Luke 23:54-56 already Christians? How? They had not believed in the gospel, 1Corinthians 15:1-4! They could not believe in Jesus' ressurection. They only believed in Jesus' ressurection when He physically appeared to them. Even then the...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Baloney! Judaism was nailed to the cross! But Jesus' new covenant did not become binding until Acts chapter 2. There is a simple reason for this, NO ONE HAD YET HEARD THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM BEFORE ACTS 2! It would be unfair for God to hold the Jews under the new covenant, WHEN IT HAD NOT...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    The women and the men who were disciples of Jesus did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead until Jesus appeared to them. Even, then they were not Christians. They were still jews. Jesus' gospel did not come into effect until the apostles were given the power of the Holy Spirit, Acts...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    As I already said, You do not understand what was taking place in the book of Acts. This is why Paul continued to keep Jewish customs in the book of Acts. One simple reason, to reach the Jews. To win the jews to Christ. The jews knew Who Paul was. Paul was famous. If Paul had not followed...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Answer my question, How can these disciples of Christ already be christians when they have no way of believing in Jesus' gospel? To be saved in Jesus' gospel one must believe in the death, burial and ressurection of Jesus Christ, 1Corinthians 15:1-4. No one before Jesus' ressurection could...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Nowhere in John 21 did Peter rebel against Jesus. Nowhere in Acts 10 did Peter not obey the commandment to preach to the first gentile convert, Cornelius. Peter was confused by the vision, that is all. You do not know the laws the Jews had to follow with non-jews. No jew until Cornelius went to...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    The passage gives me peace. Jesus' gospel did not come into effect, ie in force until the testator died. None of Jesus' disciplles were chtistians before Jesus' death nor immediately after His death. It was not until Jesus ROSE FROM THE DEAD, that His new covenant, His gospel went into force...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    As Paul said the old law kept brings a curse on all who do not keep all of it, Galatians 3:10. You never heard such and idea from me. Where are you coming from? That would be Jesus' new law we keep today, Galatians 6:2 ? Quote me where I said Christmas and Easter are in the commandments of...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Only your imagination sees gentiles in Deuteronomy 29.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Paul teaches those keeping the old testament covenant must keep it ALL PERFECTLY or they will be cursed. Galatians 3:10, For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    You said gentiles were also included in the first covenant with the Jews here: "No, see, they weren't. Take a look at what Scripture has to say about it." Now here is your proof text, This is a misrepresentation of what took place and what was said. I hope for your sake you misinterpreted...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    The old covenant with the Jews was never intended to be a lasting arrangement. It was only temporary, 2Corinthians 3:11 Romans 7:4 Romans 7:6 Ephesians 2:15 Colossians 2:14 Hebrews 10:9 The change in priesthood proves there has been a change in law, Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Hebrews 8:7 is speaking of what Moses received on the mountain. You know what Moses received on the mountain! Hebrews 8:5 Who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, See that you make all things...

    I'm not asking how many gentiles in the old testament converted to Judaism. I'm asking how many gentiles that were outside of the chosen people of God, were a part of Gods chosen people till the gentile Cornelius in Acts 10. The obvious answer is none were chosen. God made a covenant with...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    John 14:23 Jesus is not teaching the old covenant commandments. He is teaching His new law, His will and testament. The second perfect covenant. Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens and so fullfil the law of Christ. Everything the apostles taught as gospel was Jesus' new covenant, Luke...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Nowhere did I say the 10 commandments were perfect and became imperfect, You did not hear that teaching from me. Hebrews 8:7 teaches the old law is not perfect. Again it is perfect in the sense it served its purpose that God designed it to serve. It worked perfectly for its purpose. You have...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You did not answer my question, this time, in Peter's life and all Jews for this matter. How many gentiles did God include into His chosen people? I'm referring from the time of the first covenant with Abraham till Acts 10 as this time in history, with the Jews and gentiles.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You did not give an answer to where Peter went against God by not preaching the gospel, Give me book, chapter and verse where Peter rebelled against God. Show me where God had to repeatedly as you claim make Peter obey Him? Give a Biblical example of when Peter began his ministry. God had to...
