    It's all a pretence ... No one keeps the feasts of Jehovah today.

    I do not quite see what distinction can legitimately be made between what God wants and what he commanded to be done with the feasts. The holy scriptures say that Jehovah commanded that sacrifices be made at each of the important feasts. Is that what is done by people who say they are keeping...

    God gave the feasts to Israel not to Christians under the new covenant.

    I have access to the sources that are available on the Internet and I do make use of them when I need to. I am putting forth an argument insofar as I have presented a case for how the feasts were commanded (in the holy scriptures) to be kept by the faithful in ancient Israel and how it is not...

    Justification: By OUR works or CHRIST'S works?

    Excellent. And since that is exactly what I portrayed it as the matter is fully and properly dealt with. What your theology teaches is not a matter for me to advocate. I do not agree with it.

    In Or Out?

    yes, quite magnificent but ceremonially unclean and hence unsuitable for presentation before Jehovah as sacrifices. They are out as far as these matters are concerned. Perhaps out of US :)

    God gave the feasts to Israel not to Christians under the new covenant.

    the same books are available to christian and other scholars as are available to rabbis. The same universities teach both Rabbis and Christian theologians in ancient languages and in old testament theology and exegesis. Often the same professors teach both. Many Jews convert to Christianity...

    It's all a pretence ... No one keeps the feasts of Jehovah today.

    Because keeping the feasts is not required of faithful Christians?

    Justification: By OUR works or CHRIST'S works?

    I am not a Protestant. I leave it to Protestants to define their own in-house terms. I have given you a definition from the Glossary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. That is the one I use as a working definition. If yours differs then it is up to you to explain what "grace" means in your...

    Justification: By OUR works or CHRIST'S works?

    No, there's no deception here. What I wrote is derived from the statement of doctrines in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and from the 16th century Roman Catechism. Grace is more than mere unearned unmerited favour and gift. Grace is also gifts of every kind and for every situation and it...

    That would be 3 in the diagram - if you observe carefully only the right hand is extended to the ground.

    Justification: By OUR works or CHRIST'S works?

    Since being made just depends on God grace no one can work their way into salvation. We are saved by grace. And since salvation involves being made righteous both in a legal sense and in reality no one can work their way into righteousness without grace preceding and following their every step...

    It's all a pretence ... No one keeps the feasts of Jehovah today.

    If you do not say it is an obligation then I need not follow it and can ignore all of the old covenant feasts and eat pork and bacon and whatever else seems tasty without sinning. God isn't going to explain to me why I needed to keep the feasts and avoid pork at the resurrection or before it. He...

    The Official Chat Thread - Part 2

    I didn't have any beef what was suitable so I used pork and it worked most well indeed.

    God gave the feasts to Israel not to Christians under the new covenant.

    Isn't the holy scripture the primary source. Rabbis attached to Rabbinic Judaism are not better informed than scholars from any background including Islamic.

    Justification: By OUR works or CHRIST'S works?

    I reckon it went from works to specific works like keeping feasts and from their to a debate about why Christians do not keep them.

    Justification: By OUR works or CHRIST'S works?

    Yet it is not keeping passover if it does not include the sacrifice of the passover lamb and eating its flesh with bitter herbs as the commandment says.

    My nephew saw a Wedge tailed Eagle the other day at a reptile park (a kind of zoo of local species) and said it was a very big and very impressive and beautiful bird.

    God gave the feasts to Israel not to Christians under the new covenant.

    But why would I, a Christian, need to go to a Rabbinic Jewish rabbi to receive instruction about Christianity? I would not be tempted to go to an Islamic Imam for instruction about Christianity. I'd go to a priest or a theologian and weigh their words against the holy scriptures and the teaching...

    Did the word made flesh, born forth from the womb of the virgin need ....

    That is all true. Amen. And also true is that Christ came to save sinners - human beings - and so to make their salvation secure he had to be a human being and take human nature to heaven when he had risen from the grave. The faithful are assured of their own ultimate salvation because he, as...

    I cooked the Stroganoff it's in my dish now - cooling down a bit before being eaten. The pork cooked very nicely and the vegetables are rich and unctuous with the sour cream on with them. ... yummy :cheer2::tea::bee::drool::mug::stars:
