the problem is that ppl read the bible thats been translated, if you realy want to know what was said youll

thing to go back and look at the bible through hebrew eyes,,, they arent required to look like us,,, were supposed to look more like them,,, yashua was a jew,,,, all the apostles were jews, yashua was sent to the lost sheep of the house of israel, not the gentiles, paul took it to the gentiles, and he never stopped being and living as a jew, the laws are very viable today, but they do nt give
salvation, thats what yashua did...

Jeremy i am surprised you never countered my argument Up till now the above view has been my understanding however
things change when the holy spirit speaks.He amazes me because its always new never old and it reveals why we often misunderstand scripture in the case of the woman caught in adultery.We see how she was condemned to die and by the grace of God Jesus came to her rescue that seems familar to all of us then when they were alone he said to her Go and sin no more.This is the point we misunderstand prior to there meeting it was all about her death when she encountered Jesus something incredible happened he turned a death situation into life situation so from our background as sinners we still in our thinking and understanding dwell in the darkness our minds are closed to the truth.In effect what Jesus was saying to her and us is chose life and do nt look back that is what he meant and that is the walk we
need to live
for him.That to me was a revelation it was always there but hidden.Does it change that we
need discipline in the church that we
need rules and guidelines
for our actions no we still
need those
things.But does it change how we view non believers and even ourselves definitely its not about sin but its all about choosing life and living.He also revealed some other interesting
things on
salvation so i might mention those on the once saved always saved discussion.Jeremy just want to say i really appreciate your website because i have not really discussed issues like this and it really is making me press in to the Lord
for answers to some of those really difficult questions.regards brentnz
Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit
for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue
for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse
for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else
for his
needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do
things on his own what his response to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking to him to go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our love
for sin and on the other the desire to work out our
salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way of thinking.brentnz

I don't pretend to understand these passages fully, and perhaps Peter and Paul are speaking figuratively, but they are saying that our baptism is important to us —
for our
salvation, freedom from sin and a new life — all
things we all
need.
