From gkm@hou2b.UUCP (G.MCNEES) Sun Feb 6 01:28:16 206 Subject: Re: Law and Christianity The foundation of the law is the ten commandments. If these commandments were obeyed, practically all of the bickering on this network would vanish. Nine of the ten commandments are specifically regiven in the New Testament. Either exactly or even extended. ... The one commandment, keeping the sabbeth, not plainly regiven in the NT is nevertheless fulfilled in the Christians life, since we have entered into true sabbeth rest. However, that is another extensive study. Christians are born as babes and need to grow up on a proper diet- the milk of the word. One of the first things they need to be taught is that their minds must be completely renewed. Gary McNees ********************* * Yiri replies: * The commandment regarding keeping the Sabbath is in NO way fulfilled * by Christians as you assert. Your whole religion is based on replacing * the Torah of God with these 'fullfillments', etc. to which you allude. * This is part of the counterfeiting. There was an article in the BAR * (Bibl. Arch. Rev.) on just how the worship of the Sabbath was changed * to sun-god-day by the Romans LONG after the N'tzarim. The N'tzarim, * in fact, continued to keep Shabbat along with the rest of Torah. * Again, we find the difference between the N'tzarim Jews and the * goyim Roman Christians. There is no legitimate link-up between the * two. It is the religion of the contra-messiah which changed the * times, seasons, laws, etc. according to Dan. (I think ch. 7?). * One of the first things a Christian needs to learn is that they are * following a counterfeit who is the opposite of the N'tzarim Jew * they thought they were following regarding Torah. You don't under- * stand repentance until you recognize you repent from not keeping * Torah. You don't understand terms like the 'Word' until you * realize that when these words were spoken, the 'New Testament' * wasn't around yet... these early N'tzarim were referring to * Torah. In fact, they even said that either you follow the law of * God (Torah by their perspective) or the law of sin and death. * Guess which you are following. ***************************

Mr. BenDavid: You constantly refer to your keeping Torah. I thought one of the most important aspects of this was the sacrifice of animals for your sins. Do you still practice animal sacrifice?? Sincerely, Gary McNees

Do you still practice animal sacrifice?? > > Sincerely, Gary McNees Gary, The answer to your question is a simple one. Before the Temple was built there was no law regarding private altars for sacrifice. Once the Temple was built, though, Jews were prohibited from building private altars and only the altar in the Temple was used for sacrifice. This law did not and does not apply to non-Jews and they may offer sacrifices as they see fit, provided they are to G-D. With the destruction of the Temple and the removal of the altar it ha become impossible to offer sacrifices. If we were to know the exact location of the altar and we could rebuild it ( I can just see the Arabs letting us !! ) then we would have sacrifices again, also provided we had some priests who could prove their lineage from priestly families.
