Quote:Many of the Jews insisted that circumcision was a must for salvation and that baptisim was a must for salvation, Paul disagrees, he also disagreed with the food laws and Jesus said that it is not what goes in a man's mouth that makes him unclean, it's what comes out of the mouth that makes one unclean. I do believe many of the OT laws apply to christians, if we would focus on the 10 Commandments we would not need to worry over the other laws.
But why is the Mosaic law and the ten commandments any different? When Jesus is talking about the law, He is talking about the law of Moses.
The law has been fulfilled in love, we are now to keep a new law, the law of love.
Quote:The ancient Hebrews were polytheistic. I don't know if you noticed that Yahweh's curious habit of referring to himself by the royal we abruptly ended after Genesis.
They were not! They didnt even believe in the Devil!
Quote:Impossible, actually. If you say you've figured it out and can explain it, you've done what no Christian theologian has ever been able to do.
Indeed. Using Greek logic its illogical, however, we need to use Hebrew logic, with Hebrew logic it makes perfect sense, just like the idea that Jesus was 100% God and 100% man, how can that be! Use Hebrew logic and it all makes sense

Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
