For those who say you must do as Jesus says then why are you christian and not Jew?

Question

Jesus said to obey the law of Moses. So haw can you say you follow Jesus and try to be like him if you disobey him?

Answer 1

You are correct sir.

Don't believe the lies that no man can keep those old laws. If they say that to you, you ask them have you ever tried? They will answer, "well no" then you can ask them how then do you know?

Then ask them which one on Yahweh's laws can they just not keep, do not kill, do not steal, don't commit adultery, fornication or beastly? Those are very hard to resist, if you are a lust full man and just don't want to put forth the effort to overcome. Or ask them is it you just can't keep the sabbath holy because all the best shopping bargains are on Saturday, every wondered why? Well now you know, because Satan is very crafty at temptation.

How about the Feast of Yahweh you think those are the Jewish feast?

Leviticus 23:2,4,44--
2 Speak to the children of Israyl, and say to them; Concerning THE FEASTS OF YAHWEH, which you shall proclaim to be HOLY CONVOCATIONS; THESE ARE MY FEAST:

That blows that deception. Is christmas eaiser and more pleasurable for you to keep?

Rev 14:4
.... These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.

You can bet that the Lamb of Yahweh will not be following the Easter bunny, but he will be keeping the passover, will you?

When all is said and done and we all stand in front of the throne of judgment, and Yahweh ask you, "Who has deceived you into forsaking my Laws?" what are you going to say?

Deu 27:18 Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, SO BE IT

Psa 119:18 Open my eyes, that I may behold the wondrous things out of thy law.

Psa 103:7 He made known his ways unto Mosheh, his acts unto the children of Israel.

Exd 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

1Cr 10:20 But I [say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to Yahweh: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons.

Answer 2

I actually converted to Messianic Judaism. But really, Christians and Jews both honor the same God, only by different means. The differences are unimportant. It is also well implied in Acts 21:24-26 that gentile believers do not need to accept all the Laws of Moses, though they continue to apply to Jewish followers of Christ. This fits in with the concept within Judaism that only Jews are held accountable for the Law of Moses and that Goyim (Gentiles) may be counted righteous through living lives of kindness and compassion and are only held accountable for the 7 laws of Noah, which include admonitions against murder, idol worship, and incest. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you mean the laws that Moses gave out in, say, Leviticus, do not apply to us. We do not have to be so extreme. We are to follow the Ten Commandments, yes. Mostly we do what He says in the New Testament. But there are some exceptions. Ask a Pastor. They can explain it better than random people on the Internet.

Answer 4

Christianity is/was a sect of Judaism. As to obeying the law of Moses, Jesus said that He didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it.

Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

All of God's moral laws are still in effect because they represent his eternal character and his will for how we who are created in His image should live our lives. But the ceremonial and sacrificial laws that were pointing to Jesus have been fulfilled and there is no longer any need to keep them.

Colossians 2:11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

Hebrews 10:11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

Answer 5

Jesus Abolished the Law
As further corroboration that we – New Testament believers – are not under the law, Paul said that Jesus abolished the law through his sacrifice on the cross:

Answer 6

If I remember my Christian history, after Jesus died his followers recieved a "revelation" that Christians--esp. Gentiles--no longer needed to follow the Torah.

Answer 7

They do. They obey the law of Moses, and they obey Jesus. Religion is religion, it doesn't matter what you name it.

Answer 8

All Prophets came with one Religion.
