This is but an example of the fact that this person does not understand the transitional nature of the Book of Acts. Paul himself did not always keep Torah; he did so among the Jews, but did not among the Gentiles, by his own testimony.

Yuri,

You assume that, but even in Acts 23-25, he said that he did nothing to offend the Jews, and neither did he offend the Torah. Thats what he said :)

Yuri,

You make Jesus, and Paul hypocrites. There is no pretending to keep the torah. It does not make sense for Paul to keep Torah around the Jews, but not the Gentiles. How can Paul be the light as he should if he is not living holy according to Torah?

[Yuri Solomon]

Again your definition of HYPOCRITE is not biblical. For Jesus and Paul to be hypocrites, they would have to actually believe and teach Torah-keeping which they do not. They teach that the Decalogue is the Law of God. For instance, when the Rich Young Ruler asked what was necessary to inherit eternal life, Jesus did not say keep Torah, but only spells out the decalogue.

Luk 18:18-20 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

Why did Jesus not say the Torah? Why would he give an incomplete answer to such a crucial question? If Torah keeping was necessary surely Jesus would have stated it here.

Yuri,

The argument of Institution is faulty. I already answered this question in a previous response. Those above commandments ARE TORAH! Jesus was obviously speaking to Jews who kept ALL the Torah. Him not mentioning over 600 commands does not mean we dont have to keep them HA HA use your brain man. If you want to be Torahless, then expect to face judgement at the last day, when God WILL destory them that are Torahless.

Yuri,
