I've never said that, or even implied that. Scripture is clear on the topic. The Rabbinic laws, which were given to Jews alone, and not to Gentiles, are no longer mandatory. Circumcision is a prime example. Scripture no longer requires it, as per the NT.Originally posted by TorahKeeper:
Johnv, now it sounds like you are saying law is not abolished? Whats it going to be, are you going to obey God's commandments or you own reasoning?

No, God fulfilled the need for the law.Originally posted by TorahKeeper:
So God changed?
No, fulfillment means to complete. Jesus aid he came to fulfill the law.Originally posted by TorahKeeper:
So fulfilled means to set aside?
And who gave you the right to over-ride God's Word?Originally posted by TorahKeeper:
You dont have the right to deiced how r when to observe the sabbath. But if you choose to tell God how He will be worshipped then that is your choice.
Did you fail to read my previous post. You are not the moderator here. I happen to have that duty. You do not have the right to tell who can post and who cannot. If you can't take the heat then get out of the fire.Originally posted by TorahKeeper:
I have asked you two times to not communicate with me, why do you continue? You are unable to handle the intensity of the discussion without threatening me. Please do NOT respond or reply to me or any other posts I post, remove yourself from this conversation.
I will make this last response on your latest post.
I am not over-riding anything, I am saying we are to be obedient to Him and His commandments.
Once again, please do NOT respond, I do not care to hear from you any more.
I would argue that there are "Ceremonial Laws" IN the Bible specific to the Annual sacrifices that comprised the feast days.Originally posted by Johnv:
Where I disagree with Torahkeeper is on the necessity of keeping certain laws. T
here are three different kinds of laws in the OT: Civil laws, moral laws, and priestly (rabbinnic) laws.
True. And that is the same position that D.L. Moody takes with the Ten Commandments.The moral laws are still in full force today, and we're required to keep them.
True.The civil laws were for the Israelites alone for their own governance, and we've never been obligated to keep them.
Are you talking about laws that did not exist before Sinai?Rabbinnic laws were given to set the Jews apart from others. Rabbinnic laws were mandatory for Jews only, and became nonmandatory after Jesus was on the earth.
TK - you should be aware that posters can be removed from the board and have been in the past for doing less than what you are doing here.Originally posted by TorahKeeper:
I do not care to communicate with someone who uses their authority to bully me. I have asked you to not communicate with me, several times. You continue to do so however, you are coming dangerously close to harrassment. I have asked you to stop. I am asking again, do not communicate with me anymore.

That particular requirement was never made of non-Jews. In Acts 16 we see Paul CONTINUES that practice when it came to the Jew - Timothy but NOT with the gentile Titus since that was never a requirement for Gentiles EVEN in the OT.Originally posted by Johnv:

It is your argument that the clean/unclean animal distinction did not exist before the flood? OR if it DID exist before the flood it was just a way to distinguish Jews?Originally posted by Johnv:
By rabinnic laws, I'm talking about the priestly laws given in scripture only: refraining from pork and shellfish, wearing distinctive clothing, not sitting in a chair that a menstruating woman has sat in, etc.
