Should We Preach Torah Observance to Gentiles?

Address a controversial subject on the broadcast today. Should we be preaching Torah observance to Gentiles stage for the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown could be that years the pendulum once again in our day where as often happens in church history. The pendulum swings too far.

In other words, if we are say way, way to the right and were supposed to be in the middle the pendulum to get us to the middle will swing all the way to the left and often many people get stuck there. Have we swung from extreme rejection of the Jewish roots of the faith and attempt to sever oneself sever the church from the Jewish roots of the faith.

We swung from that to another extreme of pushing Torah observance on Gentile Christians you tackle that today on want to fire Michael Brown delighted to be with you.

Here's the call 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 7884 with any Jewish related question of any kind deposit usually can be a Hebrew question to be a question about rabbinic tradition can be a question of Israel today messianic prophecy is nonsense. Jewish related get to as many calls as we can. 86634 now, let's put in in one separate category, the question of Jewish followers of Jesus and the Torah. Let's let's put that aside for the moment right. Should a Jewish person who comes to faith in Yeshua the Messiah should that person observe the seventh day Sabbath should that person follow the biblical calendar should that person walk within certain Jewish traditions that relate to the Torah. These are multiple questions, it is it a personal calling is it a mandate is it a right or wrong. Let's let's put that question aside because many would understand, and many would agree and would say hey if a Jewish person comes to faith in Yeshua.

Why should they take on later church traditions and later church developments even if the church had every right to develop its own traditions and and and customs associated and violate Scripture even said hey that's that's fine.

No one sin you can't develop certain customs and traditions which we all, except that we just don't accept them as binding right. But let's let's say yeah that's fine if the church develop certain later traditions. But why should a Jew comes to faith in Yeshua now live by later church traditions, why not observe a 77 not a legalistic way, not even in a mandatory way, but in a way of identification way of history and the waves ahead God gave these things that are certainly good and we realize that much that's in the Torah is a ready fulfilled in the Messiah but in the new covenant, the new and better covenant God writes us to rise teachings on our hearts so Jewish believer living as a Jew, maybe get saved as a religious Jew and you say II don't like certain of the traditions that the rabbis added that many I think a beautiful bottom line. Hey, this is just me living as a Jew, according to Scripture. Why should I separate for my people. I think everyone can understand that.

First, within seven Paul says hey when you were called. If you recall being saved if you called circumcised. Don't become uncircumcised that he also says if you recall being saved uncircumcised.

Don't become circumcised. So here's the bigger question you were putting aside for the moment the question of a messianic Jew or Jewish Christian. However, the person will identify himself Jewish follower of Jesus just follow Jesus. If that person is Jewish by birth, putting aside the question of whether they should observe Torah on any level in the varsity putting that aside, when the Gentile Christians. What about Gentile Christians observing 77 about Gentile Christians following the biblical calendar.

What about Gentile Christians feeling a sense of obligation to do so. What about Gentile Christians saying if you're not preaching Torah you're not preaching the gospel is, is that true it is that accurate is that biblical now there is no question that Paul's warning in Romans 11 was not heated in church history were were Paul says to Gentile believers so we are equals in the Messiah.

Jew and Gentile and Messiah are equal in essence is the nuclear Gentile just like there is neither male or female. We are equals right there.

There's no caste system. There is no class system. Romans 1012 the same Lord is Lord of all, Jew and Gentile Lord of all richly bless and all who call upon the gospel is to the Jew first and also to the Gentile right so this is God's good news of salvation that comes to all indiscriminately the Messiah should his blood for Jew and Gentile. Just the same way we get saved in terms of forgiveness comes the same way, through the blood of the cross we are raised in the Messiah the same way we are seated in heavenly places the same way we are priests and God's household. We are branches of the five-year stones in the temple. We we are children of God equally Jew and Gentile in the Messiah. We agree on it, but what about a Gentile same well God gave a covenant Israel. We been grafted into Israel.

Should we be part of the covenant. Paul said in Romans 11 to the Gentile believers who were grafted in to the olive tree. The roots of the olive tree Abraham the patriarch's, the, the gifts that God is given to Israel, the Jewish people and ultimately the Messiah that seems to be that the nourishing root right so uncultivated branches branches from an uncultivated all tree were grafted into a cultivated olive tree. So Israel's olive tree individual Israelites or individual branches that were cut off because of unbelief. These believing uncultivated branches, the Gentiles individual Gentiles were grafted in impulses to the Gentile believers don't boast against the branches of us don't boast against the other Jewish believers.

Remember Eurosport the Ruth. The root supports you. So on the one hand, Gentile Christians through the centuries have not heeded that warning of Paul. There has been ignorance, which is led to arrogance which is why through so much of church history, professing Christians persecuted Jews professing Christians often choose baptism or death.

Professing Christian spoke hateful things of Jesus and how could that happen through much of church history.

There is not vitality and life in large parts of the church and one reason was that cut themselves off from their Jewish roots and in fact despised, then judged their Jewish roots. Now there's been a recognition of that through the centuries evangelical Christians have not been guilty of persecuting Jewish people think there's been a testimony for hundreds of years that has been true. You go back to the Puritans in England in the 1600s and and see that and in many ways. There is been there a recognition of God's ongoing calling on his religious people, which became harder and harder to deny after the restoration of the modern state of Israel out of the ashes of the Holocaust so there's been more more recognition of God's eternal purposes for Israel. You go back to voices in the 1800s and tremendous sermons by by by people like Charles Spurgeon because eternal purposes for Israel really hard to deny these things scripturally and and and there's been more more recognition of the Jewishness of the gospel and the fact that a Jewish believer yet can live like a Jewish believer. What is it recently were have to now say that Sunday is the Sabbath based on what Scripture what is a Jewish believer have to have to do after supper Christmas.

For example, if that's a part of their culture, life, and it's not written in the Bible but if they want to celebrate Messiah's birth during during Sukkot tabernacles near the 1 ounce of his appreciation for that which is all excellent, which is all a positive right on the other hand there's been swaying now where Gentile Christians want to look like traditional Jews right here I was, I can't tell you how many times this is happened over the years I meet someone and I at first glance, I think it's an ultra Orthodox Jew subeditor public meeting similar service to be a messianic Jewish congregation could be talking giving sore and person at first glance looks like a ultra-Orthodox to but within nearly a second race is not ultra-Orthodox to this is got the hat he's got the beer he's got that the black coat he's got the fringes got the whole look, but normally within seconds, I can tell sometimes. At first glance that this verse is not ultra-Orthodox to their Gentile Gentile Christian love for Israel, Jewish roots and now is trying to look and act like a religious to that person is on the wrong path. That person is on a dangerous path.

It doesn't take long before Jesus.

Yeshua is not central to the doesn't take long before a Jewish identity which is that in who they are becomes more important to them than sharing the good news about Jesus.

Is it will that's extreme I understand that's extreme but it's part of a trajectory now. There is absolutely nothing in the New Testament.

Absolutely nothing in the New Testament that says that if a Gentile Christian loves the Jewish festivals in the biblical calendar that they can't partake.

Ultimately, pointing to the Messiah. There's nothing saying that they can observe the seventh day is a Sabbath where is it written in the New Testament that you can't do that. There's Apsley nothing that says hate.

If you feel the dietary laws are important.

You should go and keep them maybe just think it's for hygiene maybe is a cave, God gave them to Israel must be a good reason for you are free to do that but when there is a message preached that somehow you must observe tour whatever can be observed in Torah today or you're not in right relationship with God, or that our message should be Torah centered, as opposed to Jesus centered in some assembly for preaching Jesus and you have three preaching Torah meaning Torah observance that I categorically reject that I categorically reject that is an error in fact a dangerous error. Now I know many Christians by separating themselves or use the word then at least daily regular was a wrong word to use on hands. They become so unhinged from the Old Testament and so caught up with later church tradition that just recovering the Old Testament as a foundation has a radical impact on them or the Jewishness of Jesus the Messiah were or the Jewishness of the apostles that that is a radical effect of wonderful praise God, let there be a healthy appreciation and understanding, but verse after verse after verse of the New Testament clearly warns against any notion, especially of a Gentile Christian being under the term raw and obligatory sense or in any way under the Sinai covenant that is a serious error to be resisted because it leads to all types of confusion and even backsliding and apostasy read that more thousand six. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown, Brown delighted to be with you 866-34-TRUTH little later. The broadcaster will give you another update on what's happening in Israel with the shell on the TV network and how God is using this controversy.

In many many different ways and also want to draw attention to my book resurrection share something of interest to you about to go to your calls first want to reach you from Galatians the third chapter of Paul is writing to Gentile Christians in Galatia who had been told by Jewish believers in the Messiah or actually false brothers as he calls them that unless they were circumcised and observe the Torah, they cannot be saved right so it's not a matter of saying hey you should you should prayerfully look at Strawn see was relevant to our lives today or you should consider replacing whatever calendar you have with the biblical calendar you give that prayerful thought or look for the spiritual meaning of of the Messiah in the fils Nono and Mr. circumcised in the middle of Moses, you can't be saved right. That's what they were saying, suppose addressing that and he says in verse 19 of Galatians 3. Why then was the law of the toroid given it was added because of transgressions, and sold until the seed to whom the promise was made would come the law of the terrace was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator. So this had a specific purpose until the coming of the Messiah as is written in Luke 16, up until John.

The law and the prophets were priest of the kingdom is breaking. And so this prepares the way this is the foundational destroy the foundation right is often seven you build the second story of the house you don't like the first story out okay, but this is the foundation on which everything is built so why then was that the Lord given because of transgressions, until the seed came until the Messiah came, no mediator is not just for one person to God is one, is the law. Therefore, contrary to God's promises absolutely not.

For if a law had been given. That was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly be by the law and in this is what Paula said in Galatians the second chapter he's emphasized this. And in his dialogue with with Peter in. In Galatians the second chapter he says this in any given. The issue here is Gentile Christians being told unless you are circumcised and obey the law of Moses, you can't be safe and he says Galatians 219 through the law I have died to the law so that I might live for God.

I have been crucified with Messiah and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me. The life and I live in the body of the by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, the Messiah died for nothing. So anyone who thinks that they could be righteous by observing the law, they will fall short because it it it's it's it's like the old Charles Spurgeon illustration about a man who checks into this in an isolated village and an turn signal puts the candle on whatever notices while the forests really dirty here and starts to sweep the floor until he realizes more sweeps the dirt or he gets his. It's a dirt floor so that's a condition of our hearts. That's reality with humanity. So Paul continues and he says this, he says, verse 22. The Scripture has imprisoned everything under sin's power.

And since power is revealed. The crossing don't covet nominees here don't cover you want to covet right Scripture has imprisoned everything under since power so that the promise by faith in Jesus the Messiah might be given to those who believed before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned to speak with his remaining believers in the Jews, and in the past and is included to Gentile Christians in this larger family here. We were confined under the Torah, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed. The trawl the law than was our guardian until massage that we can be justified by faith. But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, so the Cheraw you could see is scaffolding that is put up until the building is erected when the building is erected. The Tarawa is not needed.

In that sense, it has done its job to bring us where we are, 866-34-TRUTH I address this because I increasingly see over the years Gentile Christians getting enamored first with Corolla which can be healthy if done rightly, then with Jewishness which then becomes part of their identity and next thing you're taking on rabbinic tradition, all the slick what are you doing you have new life in the Messiah anyway. Let's go to Mexico. Vadim, welcome to the line of fire around her. He conducted you're welcome and I have a question I have is the inverse of your topic and I know you meant that you not talking about non-ocular lens either click clustering questions are wide open salutes. Let's go to the other side replace share.

So the do you think there are the and be sure you never told news people to stop observing the anywhere in the writing and always tell anyone actually burn you will observe all right never Dr. you think that there is frequently the gospel church preached stating that the Jewish people should not abandon or even observant or unimportant constitutes a different God but one idea clearly different first thing I would not call it a different gospel because they're preaching the same Savior the same salvation the same forgiveness the same coming into right relationship with God and I came to faith the Jesus that saved me.

That was in a traditional church. We didn't even think of the word Torah observant site.

I got born again was a follower of Jesus, and had no problem saying that that being a Christian was the right Jewish thing to do, and around the world for centuries Jews have been wonderfully beautifully saved coming to the knowledge of God and will be with him forever into a church gospel. So I would not say it's a different gospel different gospel doesn't save what I say.

There's a different message or problem with the church message when the church made it mandatory for Jews that came to faith in Jesus to separate from Jewish roots made it mandatory, not to celebrate the Passover made it mandatory, not to observe the Sabbath made it mandatory to eat pork if that's very, very serious grievous horrific dangerous error which of course I document our hands were stained with blood. A baptismal formula from centuries ago, where when a Jew was getting baptized into the church. They would have to renounce everything. She was thereafter announced Sabbath Passover, they'd have to pledge to eat pork coming was sick so I mean that that part of it. It will if that becomes part of the gospel message. Yes sir, that's a different gospel if that's part of the gospel message that to be saved means you must do this this this, you must violate the tower. You must separate yourself anything Jewishness that that's a different gospel.

I just want to be careful where use the word so if you meant it. In that sense, yes, that's a different gospel but here is your what we we just need to remember with the destruction of the second Temple whereby 70% or 75% of all of the forever, commandments of the Torah can no longer be observed and that's been our case for 2000 years, and then the New Testament preaches a new and better covenant for the prophet Jeremiah. The question is how does that work itself out in the life of the believer and and we are certainly with New Testament certainly says is that the Messiah brings things to fulfillment, and that were now under a new and better covenant and that's where the differences come in so in other words, it's a different situation before the destruction of the temple and after now without the temple without all the things that were so foundational to a total observant Jew you now say okay what what is life in the spirit mean how does it work itself out. Just like rabbinic Judaism now developed at a pharisaic and rabbinic Judaism.

So Vadim, let me ask you this what you think is the right when you speak of observing Torah following Torah germane in an obligatory way that someone would say lived like a Gentile. They were Jewish but completely secular right. They now get born again. Do you believe that we should teach that seventh day Sabbath observances mandatory the dietary laws are mandatory or should we encourage them to pray about what's God saying to them as a Jew. How would you approach that I believe it mandatory every single person different majors gently and not dictate to them what they must not do. I every would be different but it mandatory abatement.

All right. Well, the land under the sign of that was the Sinai covenant, which were not under anymore render new and better covenant new and better living at my certainly modified they're not longer there but doesn't matter, but what one you pick out the Sabbath. What about's burning which were stoning in their cellular history during wiring so that the Sanhedrin was around we should be burning which is what is the turnaround, but the story doesn't mention anything called the Sanhedrin that slid rabbinic tradition. Another of the Sanhedrin that has to do with Levitical priests serving as judges in Jerusalem CCed Vadim. There's a probe with all respects her with all respect of you are you are taking a traditional Jewish view of Torah and that China impose some of that on New Testament believer. I absolutely say it is not mandatory is working out well I hate to get to the cause of let us continue the conversation right are welcome to call back to the conversation of the healthy and good life. Thank you for cleansing and the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown got Jewish related questions.

We've got answers 866-34-TRUTH 7884 is the number to call. Okay good news for you. Those that want to get through. And you can't call or you're unable ask your question and that way about 45 minutes from less than that sold for 15 for 15 Eastern standard Time's Olympus in 45 minutes from now we'll be back on YouTube since the start up on YouTube channel. Join us there. SK DR Brown or YouTube channel which resubscribe between a subscriber and we are going to be doing our weekly YouTube chat or exclusive Q and a chat. Okay, so please by all means join us questions of all kinds.

Every subject under the sun. I'll be responding only fuses type them in.

That's it and to sit back in and watch and enjoy. So join us for 15 Eastern standard Time okay my book resurrection just want to mention something to about this investigator Rabbi from Brooklyn, a preacher from Galilee. In the event that changed the world. I write books out of a burden, it may be that I did. I just am really interested in the subject and feel it's important, and then as I lean into it. I feel more and more of a burden to do. It may be a teaching related subject that boy, there's a lot of questions that are coming up in the body and and people are struggling and trying to figure this out. I feel you need to address that at some time crept like oh, gotta get this book a likely Jezebel's wars American. I leaned into boy just got gripped with writing it like I get hit in different ways in terms of burden or an interest every so often something unusual happens, something of a supernatural level where there is some type of unusual confirmation and and an incredible burden and priming. Those who understand the concept of travailing in prayer that this tremendous burden groaning of intercession that something will be birthed and and boom I feel that to write it.

That's what happened with this book, resurrection, and and I believe ultimately that we can see the most fruit when it's translated into Hebrew and circulated in Israel.

But even now in English and skill benefit. The Christian reader even more in English and for Jewish reasonings. I believe there's a divine purpose for because he came out early March right is we got swept up in the whole coronavirus epidemic, and because the plan was to really push it right as we got into Passover Easter will we ended up talking about a book that I wrote during the virus when the world stops with this out now unavailable and really didn't get to lean into this so if you haven't looked at it, checked it out do so and and in fact, let me just tell you where you can go here. Hang on Dr. Brown books yeah go to Dr. Brown books.com.

Dr. Brown books.com and let me see, yet you can read a free sample chapter of the book so check it out. Would you think you'll find it to be a fascinating read an amazing eye-opener for Christian who believes that Jesus is the Messiah and is interested in Jewish roots of the faith in reaching Jewish people. Fascinating read and an incredible tool to give to a Jewish person to read to open their eyes to the Messiah and opening up a new argument expanding on an argument for the resurrection, and we got endorsements by two of the top Christian scholars on the resurrection. Gary, have a miss and Mike Laconia, all right 86634 we go over the Isaac in Florida.

Welcome back to the line of fire around here again. I like their chapter 9 verse one or 823 interest regulation quite quickly and a short electric question of the following exp and various Christian translations render the Hebrew word be in a positive light. Either act made glorious are honored by the Jewish translations render in a negative light. Usually I felt the greatest blow worked out harshly. The other inflicted at the back pain word in the same construct. Interstate 12 second Chronicles and many patients. All feet in the air negative rendering of work. If the Jewish translation is correct, then that completely changes I that logic instead of God. Back to great going from bad to worse and it has obvious implications for nappies quotation of the package and live in a five-minute beginning in Galilee and Work. Can you shed some light on the questionable one and then question number two. In the same passage. There's also disagreement over how to render a meal. I believe either as a proper noun or the inherent meaning of the word district region even attraction acting traditional condition. Unlike on the other. The second question is, is easier to find even in and say that the new Jewish version that that it's his Galilee of the 10th of the nations that would be the. The most in looking at the Septuagint, Galilee of the of the Gentiles, so that there's no reason not to render it like that and and that's that's why you you'll have it fairly consistently are rendered, and in this way even you don't Christian Jewish translations that's that's the least concern and certainly it's speaking of that same place you noticing it that that's where were negative. Galilee, we get from there as as for Heath bead. Let me just look this up very quickly and in terms of the the usage because normally other questions do come up so so of course we know the root of Kabbalah in the in the PL.

The intensive form.

Cut bait is is to honor so cut bait at the feet of at the Mecca honor your father and mother in the hip feel is just the causative so that would be to make honorable that we also know that the root can be to be heavy, so Kevin it is is have your way down or cultivate heavy a coupled of course, glory.

So is it is it to make heavy there. What's clear though, without question, as you read on in the passage is it's speaking about deliverance and and the prophets offense seeing the coming of the Messiah on the the immediate horizon of history is as a rabbi told me 48 years ago. So here you see the oppression of Syria being broken off and with with the birth of the messianic King. So this is this is how it's telescope so certainly what follows is positive and if Matthews is reading this passage and sees with fall is clearly a a glorious prophecy of deliverance right and and that's that that's the larger context but just to want to look up the route and its usage here and we hang on. Note wrong place here at let me just check okay check my lexicon and look for all of the usages you said you check everyone well. Every dollar rabbi that may record the expected construct.

I looked at where the word appears that not only write all all you want to do is here knowledge of the Bible in front of you yet write a check out Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 19. What is XA this is to be done with this is that the hip feel of of the Ruth Sarkar bath. I had my 39. It was exciting to figure out how I got English that's okay read in English and donkey Thanksgiving and would like to celebrate our multivitamin is selected.

You all make them honored to honor that seeks beat.

Okay, really sick yet. Second Chronicles 2519 the hot bead to show or display honor right it was it was when you said that that was always used a certain way. Also, it can be used in that sense like to make dollar heavy ice Isaiah 610.

For example, but he can absolutely be used, meaning to make glorious or to honor etc. so yeah and interestingly the Brown driver brings lexicon which is standard. Standard lexicon used to this day in 1906 edition, but used to this day and is critical so absolutely not evangelical or anything like that. It says for Isaiah 823 cause to be honored of depopulated districts of Northeast Israel. So once again you got part of the story from the rabbi but not the full story that's the problem.

Our neighbor Laura yeah and yeah all you say the same route and in the same form. That's all you need. That's at any anyone of us and he knows it perfectly select all right. Thank you, thank you, sure thing, 86634 let us go over the gene in High Point, North Carolina. Welcome to want to fire Dr. Brown Appling their bailment and our Grant but I have family members that follow the bay robot Church of God under Herbert Armstrong later nailed that I know in and they can commandment Plato healer steel or bank that confirmed Babbitt have never been able to truly understand the call I get the car back and Janet came in three that if they got spanked and made a part though I would like to have a good understanding of that and out, though they often the tabernacle. One scripture in Zechariah 1419.

Details about what the punishment for that.

Don't go up to keep the faith and those that thing that they can't bring that that sometimes I don't know how to write so yeah thanks Dean for the questions number one if a Christian wants to set apart 77 stated perfectly fine to do that if they want to celebrate the biblical calendar… Big feast of Tabernacles. But if you want to do that.

The reason why you can't write those not forbidden from it, but the 10 Commandments are the foundation of the Sinai covenant and we are not under the Sinai covenant went when pulses were not under the law, he means it in terms of of an obligatory sense and if if you'll read through Galatians. This was part of the issue that they thought they were obligated to keep the seventh day Sabbath obligated to keep the feast of holy days, and he categorically says no. If you could become righteous through doing that than the Messiah died in vain. So what I would do is just read through Galatians the whole book several times over. This is what Paul is saying to Gentile Christians right as for Zechariah 14. This is a future prophecy after the Messiah returns and establishes as his millennial kingdom on the earth. We will be with him ruling and raining together with him and and now the nations of the earth that are here in the millennial kingdom will come to learn from the God of Israel, and learn from the people of Israel. Hence, this is not something that is mandatory today. Quite the contrary. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown and voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown joining us. Join us on YouTube for extended Q&A.

We go about an hour and all questions from all angles say if you're a mocker, critic, skeptic one way and anonymously you can call yourself you be in the 4 foot eight and call yourself tall Joe if you like, whatever, and post your question will gladly interact as much as possible. 86634.

Truth is the number to call you got questions judicially questions with your best to give each related answers.

Okay, please reach you from Colossians the second chapter Colossians chapter 2, and in this is the perspective we need to bear in mind in terms of keeping the main things the main things keeping our focus where it needs to be Colossians chapter 2 Colossians the second chapter. And Paul is dealing with Gentile believers in Colossae and talking about Sabbath observance things like that and there seem to be some type of a a mixture that they would be exposed to some pseudo-Gnostic type of belief, source, super asceticism, coupled them with certain Jewish things and so on and so he says this old will store it in verse let's see verse 18 and will refer the tree of life version. Therefore, do not let anyone pass judgment on you in matters of food or drink in respect to a festival or new moon or Shabbat Sabbath. These are foreshadowing of things to come. But the reality is Messiah, let no one disqualify you been insisting on false humility and worship of angels going into detail, but what is seen, puffed up with are caused by/Misys is that this super asceticism in the mysticism and all of this he's not holding fast to the head of Rachel was performing in verse 16 releases. Don't let anyone pass judgment on your notice of food and drink in respect to a festival new moon or Sabbath. These are foreshadowing of things to come, with the realities of Messiah is not saying don't let them pass judgment on you for keeping these things because he would not of been set in the next verse. These were foreshadowing of things to come, with the realities Messiah we say is don't let anyone put you under pressure because these are just a foreshadowing. The reality is found in the Messiah. So it's perfectly fine if you and your joyful service of the Lord.

He lay certain things on your heart that help you identify more with the Jewish roots of the faith and and and identify more with the people of Israel, and in this is part of your Jesus entered you sure glorifying spirit led observance in God, not to become more righteous, not to become more sanctified but certainly just filling out a certain things in life wonderful and if you are joyfully serving the Lord, going to church service on Sunday morning glorifying Jesus and taking the gospel to the neighborhood.

Wonderful. Go ahead and glorify the Lord and doing that 866-34-TRUTH. By the way, you'll be shocked by the rabid mandatory told observance people that will be commenting on our YouTube video commenting on face view.

You'll be shocked a very small minority, but very very vocal and some will damn me to hell for not preaching mandatory told observance Oya happens all the time.

That's why sound the alarm because it's it it's an error that is growing in the body. 866-34-TRUTH Joseph in Canada. Thank you so much for holding welcome to the line of fire prior doing well thank you sir. You done a great job articulating on the community.

July 1. My question is kind of pertaining to the pain the same fashion, but more so looking at it and it Christian paradigm, copy, commit to be a Jew is one inwardly circumcision is that of the heart. And we know the lobby and written on the Gentile nebula part Gentile will become Christ in you see so many predominant ministries right now, especially the power saying that we have to break generational curses because of so on and so forth.

That year the children will be blessed in all of the different kind of stuck. How does this in your perspective, apply elective there any weight behind it the underhanded that yeah it's a great question, etc. I answered it a few times a few weeks ago. It's it's it's come up number one. When someone comes to the Lord is truly born again and begins a new life in the Messiah, the need to be looking forward more than looking backwards right I'm an end date they need to recognize that there is liberty. Forgiveness wholeness in the Messiah now we all grow in God and as we grow in God, we may discover something in our lives. It's a stronghold like why am I struggling this area and then you realize okay this goes back to thus and such and and now now you're able to deal or why am I so supersensitive about something like remember this in your past, you are hurt us. It was so much we still carry wounds we still were still human beings we have tendencies may be our mother and father never talked to an argument. They screamed at each other and other we get married we find ourselves activists like okay I still carry certain things from the past and when they come up.

I need to deal with them so I look at this totally practical way not God actively visiting judgment from a previous generation of missionaries we could say that certainly broken right it's it's the generations that continue in something where the judgment is visited on so if I was a a ruthless business person and took advantage of my employees and hurt many people and you grew up into that is my son and now you took over the company and you can edit and and you you did not repent will now my sin becomes your sin and it's even worse. It is, it's even more caricature and see more part of you, but with repentance. It breaks so I look at it not.

It's not so much as a curse being passed on by God or a judgment being passed on by God that's broken at the cross, but rather tendencies of life habits or demonic things that didn't get broken and in other words, when I see a may be someone comes to the Lord and it is one thing after another after another that goes wrong in their lives. I am the one about what my friends and fellow eyelets of the Lord in high school and he would always get into accidents and he would bad thing. It was just like poor guy me. If you look at a worldly sense discussed at bad luck.

One day he got a ride with someone to guy think he was going to college. She said if I get a ride. At least nothing can happen to my car while his car was home in front of the house.

The streetlamp fell off and crashed through his window actually happened a certain point, we thought something is going on here something demonic and then through prayer.

You might see all this goes back to something in the past or all there is there something that's been in a kinda carried over some demonic thing that has to be broken, but I only look forward in my relationship with the Lord and it's only when I hit some, wall, or there's some unusual oppression.

We can figure out or series of one thing after another after that that seem unrelated to keep going wrong that then we procure what's going on but I think it's unhealthy. When I look sir at something and in my own life.

When I look at some negative pattern. Some bad thing going on. So that's just because of my pet note, let me take responsibility for my sin, my weakness, my shortcoming my flesh today and right see patterns and strongholds, then maybe I can look back at things that have been passed or not. God passing a curse things that have just been passed on because of habit or spirituality. Thank you sir for the question of right got total no articulate William in Greensboro you you were hanging on through almost the entire show and we just lost you at the end here so your question about any archaeological evidence for the plagues of Israel. Many it all depends on when things are dated okay when things are specifically dated there is a debate among biblical scholars and archaeologists when the Exodus actually took place. So there are scholars who say there is no evidence for archaeologically or in the historical records of Egypt. Others would say, well, depending on the date there does seem to be a lot of upheaval here.

I would encourage you to check out some of the writings of James Hofmeyr James Hofmeyr HOFFMEI ER fact member years ago getting a similar call from a gentleman that called earlier in the show and recommending a book by Hofmeyr I think actually sent it to them so check out some of his scholarship.

The sum of the scholarship of Kenneth kitchen was the top top Egyptologist and a solid Old Testament scholar as well. I don't have time to to grab this call here, but a question about Isaiah chapter 56 Isaiah 56 the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord Minister Tim love the name of yellow become a servant.

So who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it over the firm in a covenant. I'll bring it to my holy mountain with them. Rejoice in my house of prayer yes this would be a verse that many would used to say, as Gentiles come to faith in Jesus that they will embrace a seven-day Sabbath and if, again, if that's what you feel called to in the Lord as part of your being joint Israel. God bless you that there's no there's nothing in the New Testament where you against that the warning is against being put under pressure to do it the other way of reading this is St. this is an Old Testament prophecy of of a future millennial joining of people to the Lord or it is simply talk about during Old Testament times, foreigners join themselves to the yes this could deftly be used, to argue that God lays us on the hearts of of Gentiles who could say to the joint Israel seven-day Sabbath has no objection whatsoever is your Saturday service in my life. It's mindset is not right 15 minutes from our back on you to join us Esther to run you
