Of course they thought they were following God. Paul also thought he was following God when he held the coats of murderers.
 
They were NOT following God because they were haters of men created in the image of God.
 
"Those" Jews (the ones who were murderers or wanted to be murderers in the case of those opposing Paul) would have been better off with a Holy Spirit mindset which is true, but this is also a cop out on your part, Judy. Great diversion, though. Still, you have no hope of understanding Scripture unless you understand it in the mindset and culture of the authorship. Remember what Hoshea says... My people are destroyed by their lack of knowledge. Increase yours but do so without compromising access to the Spirit (which, if taught correctly, won't happen).

They thought they were following God Slade, they were Asian Jews who had some kind of a misguided  zeal for God and they tried to kill Paul because they believed he had brought a Greek from Cyprus into the temple and polluted the holy place. These Jews would have been better off with a Holy Ghost mindset.

Bogus, Jody. Those who cursed Paul were not following God. They were haters of men.
 
Care must be taken with the Hebrew mindset, as Judy rightly says. It will make you realize ALL PEOPLE (EVERY SINGLE ONE) living in the Western world (which includes Canada and USA) all think with a Hellenistic mindset. Most greatly so; others less so.

Wow! Anyone else 'signing on'? Judy?
 
What for?  I'm not into Greek or any other philosophy. My source is God's Word with the aid of the Holy Spirit which teaches that man is spirit, soul, and body. Be careful with this Hebrew mindset stuff. You may end up like the Jews who persecuted Peter and Paul. The ones who swore a curse on Paul and vowed to kill him. judyt
Amazing�I agree with Jonathan here! J Iz

Slade I anxiously await your response to this one.  I am very grateful to a few people in my life (including Lance) who have pointed out how important the Hebrew mindset is to understanding Christianity.  The concept of wholeness in the human instead of the broken up spirit, soul, body, mind of greek philosophy is a breath of fresh air.

I'll get to this when I have more time (like on Shabbat, perhaps).

Judyt: To me this makes about as much sense as the right brain, left brain, New Age mumbo jumbo.

 

Slade says: Interesting perspective. That's how I receive Spirit vs. Flesh arguments.

 

Judyt:

I can't imagine why Slade; the reality of the fact that man is a spirit being is all through scripture ie:

 

Zech 12:1 "I formed the spirit of man within him"

Hebrews 12:9 contrasts the fathers of the flesh with the Father of Spirits.

Romans 8:1,2 contrasts walking after the flesh with walking after the Spirit

Galatians 5:19-23 contrasts fruit of the flesh as opposed to fruit of the Spirit

 

How does one explain these scriptures and the ones I haven't listed when in denial?
