If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”
Paul had been a Pharisee and thought as you do, but he realized after receiving the Holy Spirit which brought his experience from night to day, that though he had had the law which was holy, sin was still tugging at him. That is the sin nature you still have to struggle with. The law was brought in because of the abundance of sin. But it was only to keep you in the knowledge of right and wrong, it could not change your nature. He found out that it was Jesus who takes away that sin nature and creates a new nature that partakes of the divine nature of God. Killing your old nature is not something you cannot do on your own, so you can't boast. It must be done supernaturally by a supreme being. That was Jesus. Through Him God passes over the sin in your life that remains, because no matter how hard you try, you on your own cannot be perfect. If you have never been a Christian filled with the Spirit of God and then turned away like Open Heart did, you still have the chance to be accepted as you would like to be. But if you keep rejecting the Son of God you won't have the Father either.
Ironically, since there's no mention of Messiah in the 10 commandments,
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day
is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who
is within your gates. 11 For
in six days
the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
How? He spoke it into being. That is the Word of God. It is revealed in the New Covenant who the Word became when He became flesh - Jesus. Just because He is concealed from revelation in the Old Testament, doesn't mean He doesn't exist. Much of the New Covenant explains the Old Covenant.
You shouldn't have to if there is a deeper spiritual meaning.
Do you see how ridiculous your arguments are?
You don't understand the difference in the Law between how we treat God, and how we treat our brethren. The first four of the commandments have to do with God and are all fulfilled in believing in His Son who He let be the creator of the universe and everything in it. The Father and Son worked together. Jesus was His voice before He became man to die shedding His BLOOD for our sins. Unlike bulls and goats' blood that only covered sin temporarily, the blood of Jesus took is away completely by killing the sin nature we inherited because of Adam's sin which destroys the work of the devil in we who are born again.
Yes, in the same way we separate ourselves from unclean items, we separate ourselves to the worship of the one true singular God, and are holy. This applies only to Israel as a people. You're excluded.
That's not up to you Jewjitzu. God made me a Jew too now. Actually, because of your rejection of His Son, and my acceptance of His son, I am more of an Israelite than you are. I don't expect you to see that; it would be like asking a blind person from birth to describe the color blue, or red, or a tree, or anything else. You are like the joke about the family of blind mice sitting on different parts of an elephant and describing what an elephant is according to where they are. You're still in the dark. There is a veil covering your eyes. But it doesn't have to stay that way. You could ask God if Jesus is really His Son and then listen with your heart. You already being an Israelite will get an answer. I'm positive. Just try it, but only if you are willing to obey the answer.
