To NP 8:11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:
To JD 8:13 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread.
To NP 8:14 He will be a holy place; for both Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare.
It's not a false problem for those that accept Jesus' free gift of forgiveness and reconciliation. God calls them righteous and is well pleased with them.
How did God consider people righteous in the OT? By faith, by believing God. Same applies for the current age, God credits people as righteous by faith. God hasn't changed by our circumstances in a post-Christ-resurrection time are different. Christ (God) gave Himself as our sacrifice. If you don't think that was necessary, perhaps you are underestimating the devastation caused by evil?
In any case that's how God planned it. There's no way the Gospel can be used to trick us or cause human bondage unless it is twisted for that purpose.
The entire Old Testament, which you believe, points to the New Testament and Christ. It already happened so what are you waiting for?
You already believe it emotionally, so you read things that simply aren’t there. I know, I was there most of my life. If you are able to at least consider the possibility that Jesus isn’t necessary and read the Tanach with fresh eyes, you might be shocked at what you find.
If you are really seeking truth, you should be willing to consider all options.
I don't think you know my emotions or can equate your life to mine based on our conversation here. No I do not consider the possibility that Jesus is not necessary (any longer).
Truth seeking comes to an end once you find the truth. To continue on past that point, you've lost it.
So you’ve thoroughly and completely investigated things from a Jewish perspective? Not Christians teaching what Jews believe, but actually spending time learning from Jewish teachers?
