Sabbath Greetings in the Matchless Name of YahShua !!
 
"Then said YahShua  to those Jews which believed on Him, 'IF ye CONTINUE in My Word, are ye My disciples indeed; And ye shall know The Truth and The Truth shall make you free'."  John 8:31-32
 
Verse 32 is VERY WELL KNOWN and often quoted.  However, the context is the little known and seldom mentioned verse 31.
 
These were BELIEVERS ... we would call them "Christians".
 
Their response to the glorious instruction of The Saviour?
 
THEY GOT MAD.
 
"Hey, we don't have to do anything else.  We're already free."
 
Within a scant few minutes The Saviour told these that "believed on Him" that "Ye are of your father the devil".
 
Note that Michael D cuts out on verse 20 of Acts 15 and SKIPS to verse 24.
 
James (actually Jacob/Ya'acov) said (at the point where Michael D so RUDELY interrupted him) :

"Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But that we write unto them, that they [1] abstain from pollutions of idols, and [2] from fornication, and [3] from things strangled, and [4] from blood." Acts 15:19-20

I think everyone in these discussions would agree with the first two (at least to some extent).

What's with Ya'acov tacking the last two on there (from clean food laws!) in this post-Golgotha (Calvary), "New" Testament era SPECIFICALLY for "gentiles"?!?!?!?

Oh, wait, it wasn't his idea �

"For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit �" Acts 15:28

Huh?!?!?!? Or perhaps better, "Hmmm �", or best yet, "YES, LORD, your servant hears"!

Y'all surely follow after this Holy Spirit given instruction (actual meaning of 'torah'). RIGHT?!?!?!?

So, y'all drain the blood from your meats. RIGHT? Y'all cover it in salt and soak it in water to drain the blood. RIGHT?!? Or perhaps you just make sure to buy kosher meats? RIGHT?!?!?

Of course, you watch out for those vaccinations, too (blood products)! RIGHT?!?!?!?

NATURALLY, blood transfusions are VERBOTEN! RIGHT?!?!?!?

So, y'all are clean and clear in this matter. RIGHT?!?!?!?

Any who do NOT follow after this CLEAR Scriptural, Spiritual instruction of The Holy Spirit while acting as the believers of John 8 is a hypocrite.

The next verse that Michael D skipped notes ...
 
"For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day."
 
Notice, "For" ... that means BECAUSE.  This is the reason they STARTED them with only these four necessary things.  BECAUSE Moses (Torah) is read EVERY SABBATH DAY.  That's AFFIRMATION of BOTH The Sabbath Day being kept and Torah being followed.
 
The Acts 15 problem was Jews teaching JUSTIFICATION by Torah over FAITH, and trying to maintain the OLD Jewish, WICKED, anti-Torah separation from gentiles "until they have gone through the Jewish conversion process".  This was the same problem in Galatians CLEARLY SPELLED OUT for those with eyes to see and ears to hear what The Spirit reveals to the called out ones.
 
Torah is a SANCTIFICATION issue and not a JUSTIFICATION issue.
 
Michael D further lies:
Faith and law do not mix. That's the message of God. The just live by faith.
 
AGAIN, Ya'acov (James) -- and therefore Scripture and by extension The Almighty Himself -- disagrees with Michael D's wicked objections:
 
"Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, AND NOT by faith only." Ya'acov 2:24
 
This epistle of Ya'acov was written PRIOR to ANY OTHER "New Testament" writing.  It originally was right up near the front of the "New Testament" books.  The WHORE of Babylon hundreds of years later pushed it to the back of the book.  The drunken sop Martin Luther tried to get it removed from the canon.
 
NOW, are you ready to CONTINUE in The Word including Torah to be free indeed or will you go quickly, rebelliously on as children of the devil?
