Peace To Those Who Follow The Guidance!

Greetings Nimrod and PrIM3

Nimrod your response...

Answer for question #2. Christians who have been adopted into the Hebrew nation are not bound by any “laws” other than the 10 commandments and what additional Law the apostles agreed to bind them to and the additional instruction found in Revelation such as not eating meat that is offered in the name of a false god .

has raised few questions, i may have misinterpreted your answer, please correct me if i have-

if followers of a religion other than Christianity was to embrace Christianity then they are not bound by any laws other than the 10- Commandments, and what additional Law the apostles agreed to bind them to-

Some Religions allow for an uncle to marry his niece. The mother's brother can marry her daughter. The Law of Moses (peace be upon him) prohibits this

If a follower of such religion was to embrace Christianity, then can he still marry his niece (his sister's daughter)?

If they are not bound by any laws other than the 10 commandments then on what ground would this be prohibited? is this covered by "additional Law the apostles agreed to bind them to...?"


Kind Regards

Hana_Aku there are a few things I need to revisit on this thread.
When I talk about things in the Old Testament not being in effect for me any longer, I don’t want to leave you with the impression that now I am free to do what ever I want.

What I have been freed from is all the regulations, not the behaviors God finds pleasing or detestable. In other words I won’t be judged for not holding a certain feast or not. But those, such as homosexuals will have to answer for their behavior.

The rule Jesus and the Apostles left for me is, not to judge anyone, that is God’s job. I am to act according to the Law of the Land, I am not to punish folks if the state is available to do it for its self.

To put it another way, I am not to stone homosexuals, the state is supposed to deal with them. I am not to stone the adulterer, the state is to deal with them.

The scripture say’s that there will be no sexual deviants or liars or thieves in Heaven. The fact they are born after Jesus was resurrected makes no difference.

The scripture concerning a person’s personal behavior is still fully and forever more in full effect.

I didn’t want the thread in a confused state.

I will find the scripture concerning why the Apostles left me under a different set of rules than they did the Jewish folks.

Right now real life has got very busy for me, I will get back to this as soon as I can.

Thanks
Nimrod
 
Peace Nimrod:

No problem at all. Take your time. I know what you mean about "real life" getting busy. It's the same for me as well, so I'm much slower to respond.

Whenever you find the time is perfectly fine. :)

Take care and peace,
Hana

10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

your correct, in one case Paul gave what he believed to be what God would want.

according to what the Lord said: you shall not divorce his wife or the other way around.

but paul said in cases where the two were already married and one of them became a believer in Christ later on--- then paul says it is ok for you to be yoked with the unbeliever since you were one flesh before one of you became a believer in Him ( Jesus Christ )

( I am at school so I'll try to get back to this later )..
there is some of my thoughts on this
