Hi,
I've been studying some of the writings of KP and Yada with interest. I find most of it very interesting, but there is still not enough debate from 'respectable' christian leaders to enable one to see both sides of the coin.
According to Paul, Jesus made us free from sin by fulfilling all the requirements of the law, together with enduring God's full judgement for our sin. That way we were freed from the requirements of the law which in turn broke sin's hold on us.
Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

'...being justified by faith, we have peace with God...'

In a similar fashion: How would you summarize the work and purpose of Jesus to explain the 'method or reasoning' of His work( to free us from sin, according to John 8:36)
Also, has someone been doing some work on Romans? It should also be very interesting.

Showing respect to, giving credence to, and in any way submitting to, those who are leaders in the Christian communities is to commit spiritual adultery against our Husband. Their opinions on anything having to do with Yahuwah and His Son, Yahushua, are worthless.



Saul of Tarsus, aka Paul, was a self-appointed "special instrument" of Yahushua, the Messiah. We only have his word and Luke's word for his conversion and special calling, neither of which is reliable. Therefore, when Paul says something, even if it contains a kernel of truth, he should be rejected.

Also, the name "Jesus" is a made-up name. No one by that name lived anywhere on earth prior to the 15 or 1600's. Paleo-Hebrew, Aramaic, Koine Greek, and Latin all lacked the letter "J" and a sound for the letter "J". Those who preach and teach otherwise are liars and are not His sheep. Those who insist on using the name "Jesus" instead of the Son's true Name, Yahushua, might want to investigate their own motives for doing so. And those who refuse to stop calling the Father "Jehovah" and "the LORD" need to look out.

I do not have all the answers, but I know what I know, and that is that the Scriptures used by Yahushua and His students and mouthpieces were what we call today the Tanakh, aka The Old Testament. The Messianic books and letters are good in their place, but they are not required for salvation.

Keep seeking, and welcome to the forums.

Richard
