Paul, Torah, Bestiality, Gay Marriage and the New Testament
It is clear to many that the Old Testament and particularly Torah was used by the early Christians to demonstrate the truth of the gospel. Some are not aware or choose to ignore this. They seek to impose Torah on others claiming that because the apostles used it to convince the Jews about Christ, it must be used today.
While some teach that the law ended at the cross, it did not. According to Matthew 5:17-18, the law would continue until all was fulfilled. Not till heaven and earth passed would one jot or tittle ...

No Comment Ultra Zionists
Ultra Zionists refer to the documentary by Louis Theroux to shed light on the political zionist state of Israel. He documents the illegal settlements in Israel by those who believe they have a God given right to the land in Israel forever. This is the same argument John Hagee, a "Christian Zionist"uses to defend the actions of Ultra Zionists.
The main problem that many face in understanding Zionism is the failure to distinguish between religious zionists, political zionists and Biblical zionists. This is an attempt to bring about clarity in distinguishing these views.
Religious Zionism is the teaching of Judaism. This is ...

No Comment The Handwriting of Ordinances
In Colossians 2:14, Paul speaks of blotting out the handwriting of ordinances. Some take blotting out the handwriting of ordinances to mean that Christ brought and end to the Law of Moses and that following His death, it was no longer in effect.Â
Some reason that the law was fulfilled completely at the cross. In the debate on the End of Torah with Don Preston, D. Div., Kurt Simmons seeks to establish this point. Many believe the same.
Simmons and Blotting Out The Handwriting of Ordinances.
Simmons writes:Â "The handwriting of ordinances here is not the Ten Commandments as is commonly supposed, but a memorandum, ...

6 Comments Leviticus 19:28, the Law of Moses and Tattoos
Found in one of the five books of Moses called the Pentateuch meaning 5, Leviticus 19:28, is primarily a part of the instructions God gave to the priests to follow. They were also the God-appointed teachers of the nation. It was their responsibility to teach Israel the ways of God. The Levitical priests were cast into this role by default. Don K. Preston, who co-hosts "The Two Men and a Bible" radio broadcast at AD70.net which airs on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. central, pointed out in our presentation last night that the Levites ...

2 Comments Law of Moses and Amillennial Eschatology
In the previous study on 2 Corinthians Chapter 3, we discussed the Law of Moses showing that it continued beyond Jesus' death on the cross in A.D. 3. We also demonstrated that it was yet in the process of being fulfilled when Paul wrote the second epistle. Thirdly, we demonstrated that the fulfillment of the Law of Moses was Paul's hope. There is but one hope of the gospel (Eph. 4:5). Therefore, the fulfillment of the Law of Moses fulfills the gospel hope.
