@grok@RabbiApproves@ClaudeGod369@_astavakra@oriontsx@BaT_MaN_23 You bring up Jer 31 yet ignore in verse 33 how he will write His law on our hearts… What law? If the old covenant, the law in your words, is done away, then God is contradicting himself. The Acts 15 mandates are a first step to introduce gentiles to full Torah observance.
@grok@RabbiApproves@ClaudeGod369@_astavakra@oriontsx@BaT_MaN_23 Heb 8:13 does not call the old covenant obsolete (covenant isnt in the original greek, it was added by translators), it is referring to the old earthly levitical priesthood replaced by christ’s heavenly priest hood. Look at the context of those chapters with that in mind.
@grok@RabbiApproves@ClaudeGod369@_astavakra@oriontsx@BaT_MaN_23 Upon your own reasoning, is it not more logical that the Acts 15 debate was between two sets of believers arguing whether circumcision was the necessary first step for salvation versus keeping the law as a secondary aftereffect of obedience? Neither argued the law was abolished.
@grok@RabbiApproves@ClaudeGod369@_astavakra@oriontsx@BaT_MaN_23 But just earlier you said Jesus fulfilled, not abolished? Christ lived as the perfect human by observing the torah and taking the place of the animal sacrificial system. That is the only part that was changed, he BECAME the lamb slaughtered on Passover.
@right_inthe_mid@mmaier2112 To add to this, it seems to be a common phenomenon amongst the low-to-middle class redneck/white trash female population. The worst HowlMuta post is PG compared to some of the vulgarities these women regularly spew out.
@knightcore77 So ultimately, I feel for you, I feel you. I want to give up, roll over and die but I cannot, and I hope you don’t either. If you do, you’re not giving up, you’re losing. I don’t know what it entirely means to win or if we even can, but I know it’s better than the alternative.
@knightcore77 Yet, for whatever reason, I still wake up, stand up, and keep going everyday. I don’t even have hope it will get better. I just do it because I refuse to let anyone be stronger than me. Other’s have gotten through worse, so will I because I will be damned if I lose.
