The Federal Reserve CONFIRMS how NGOs end up increasing the number of homeless people they manage, because the only institution on the planet, in all of human history, capable of amassing $14.2 trillion is the single greatest racket empire on the planet—the U.S. Congress.
U.S. NGOs have combined assets totaling $14.2 trillion of your tax money.
@BlueTimeFairy@TheSeanEsposito “‘Decalogue’, like ‘Pentateuch’, does His people a disservice.”
You: “Fluff. Useless drivel…”
Also you: “apologize for attacking me scornfully!”
😳
@rail_breaker31@LaNativePatriot So…don’t feel well…test is negative …still go visit the immunocompromised older relative in a NH with all the other high risk people? That’s baffling.
Hebrews is a singularly interesting book. Moses did not use hyssop, crimson thread, nor water to ratify the covenant. Neither did he sprinkle both the book and the people as the writer describes. It seems a conflation at least, in this case of the water of the red heifer process.
In the multiple quotes the writer uses, an air of “the lady doth protest too much, methinks” in trying to pass as an expert commentator. It looks like a pratfall by someone too smart by half. Only book where this happen.
Another example: in making an argument that is nearly 100% used by modern teachers to support the idea that the teachings of Moses have no role in the lives of Christians today, here’s the writer in Heb 10 quoting:
Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.
6
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.
7
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law),
9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
That’s quoting psalm 40. But look at the entire passage from Ps 40:
6
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
7
Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8
I delight to do Your will, O my God,
**And Your law is within my
heart.”**
That last part of verse 8 in asterisks? It was curiously omitted by the writer by selectively quoting.
Then we see this exact passage often being used today to teach Christians they no longer need to have His law within their hearts.
Weird, no?
No one said eating that is abomination.
Well Moses. And Isaiah. But besides those two, no one has said that!
As for uncircumcision being an abomination (besides that being a straw man argument) have you not read? neither circumcision *nor avoiding it so as to not appear legalistic* (ie uncircumcision) avail anything.
@orielforex@TheSeanEsposito You endorse that God, via His Holy Spirit, will guide the changing of definitions concerning things once held to be abominations. For clarity: He is the same yesterday today and tomorrow…except where these definitions come in.
Got it.
The sabbath is (for one) so that we would remember that in six days the heavens and earth were created. Imagine if that was taught at university.
It’s also a test to see if His instruction is to be followed or not.
Also let’s call the Decalogue something else, what it was originally called: covenant.
Deut 4:14
Ask students of the Pentateuch where God first revealed His name.
Ask Torah students who know the original names:
Genesis-In the Beginning
Exodus-Names
Leviticus-And He called
Numbers-In the Wilderness
Deuteronomy-Words,
there’s a higher probability they’d be able to just guess.
Are these things important?
In the beginning—since He tells the end from the beginning, from ancient times things yet to come…seems knowing the beginning looms up big. Is 46:10
Names-His people will be given a new name. Rev 2:17. Names are important. Phillipians 2:9-11
And He called—later we re-learn the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. If He called anyone in Leviticus…would that be set aside now since Jesus came and nailed all that to the cross, doing away with it, having fulfilled it?
In the Wilderness-anyone who is anyone to the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob spent time in the wilderness. Moses before leading Israel; the assembly with Moses ; Elijah; David; Jesus; Paul the list goes on
Words. Words are important. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Hosea 14:2. “Have these words that I command you be upon your heart”
Decalogue, like Pentateuch, does His people a disservice.
@theluxejungle@TheSeanEsposito Bound? Who is bound? Where does this judgement come from that following the instructions given by Jesus to Moses are enslaving anyone?
Psalm 119:45
I will walk about at liberty for I have sought out Your precepts (such as how He walked, ate, worshipped)
@orielforex@TheSeanEsposito That’s fine.
What other abominations can be re-defined?
If it works for one, it follows it must for others.
Differing weights in business? Moving boundaries? Passing children through fire?
“He said to them, ‘Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.’”
The levitical instructions themselves (unless you mean all of Torah as levitical law) do not mention the divorce process of Deut 24.
Matt 19:8 shows Moses gave them that because that’s what they intended to do anyway. From the beginning it wasn’t, and still isn’t, so.
That’s the best I can do with it.
