Paulianity is neither Judaism nor Christianity. Paul says he was eveyrhting to all people, whatever they needed to hear, he was that.
Jesus was a Jew.
He will come to reign the world from Jerusalem Yah'shua was, is and will be always be a Jew !
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
on King David's Throne during the millennium.
This is just the same old same old "if you don't believe this is what will befall you..." Luke 21:10-24 is just a mumbo-jumbo collection of various "prophesies" collected out of context from various parts of Isaiah, Daniel and the rest of the OT. Jerusalem is back in Jewish hands...and nothing.
19Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Then you can tell me why are the Apostles then baptizing in the name of Jesus throughout the book of Acts? And why does Eusebius (in the 3rd century) quote no less than 17 times the very same verses without the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost? I will tell you why: because it wasn't there. Someone, conveniently, added it later on.
It's good to see that you are cherry-picking those verses that suit you and ignoring those that don't. Why not pick verses that are not questionable such as Like Mat 10:5-6 "'Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" or Mat 15:24 "I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Israel"?
To use your own words "Last I checked Matthew quoted Christ." Read your Bible a little closer.
It doesn't matter IF the Jewish Bible says this or not
Well, it does to the Jews.
The New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament
Hardly.
Out of context. It says nothing about brining the gentiles into the fold. At any rate, it was Pal who invented the idea that Gentiles are always non-Jews. The OT treats the word gentile (goy) as a "nonbeliever" whether it be a Jew or nor.
Psalm 117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. Translational bias. The word for nations is tribes. He could just as well be speaking of the 12 tribes of Israel. David would have been thinking of Israeli tribes.
Seems the Old Testament even mentions gentiles and all nations seeking and praising God
Seems to be you are reading into translations and interpreting the mindset and the meanings of the Middle eastern society 2,000 and more ago.
From the Shem Tov Matthew:
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
Our father in heaven
Spoken by Yah'shua a Jew, then and now and forever.
may your name be sanctified
may your kingdom be blessed
your will shall be done in heaven and on earth
give us our bread continually
forgive us the debt of our sins
as we forgive the debt of those who sin against us
do not bring us into the hands of a test
and protect us from all evil
amen
The Old Testament refers specifically to the Jews as gentiles. Your translations probably doesn't. You have to look at the original language.
Romans 11: 17
Romans 11:17 is nonsense, if you read it closely that is.
I think this is pretty obvious, and your just looking for an argument.
I think you are just looking for an excuse not to answer my questions.
Christians are called Christians because we believe Jesus is the Christ the Messiah. Todays Jews, the Non-Messianic Jews, do not believe Jesus was the Messiah, but Messianic Jews do.
Messianic Jews are not recognized as Jews either by the Jews or by Christians. They are in their own little world. They are just one of many Christian sects or better yet cults.
They also practice Judaism, because REAL Judaism never ended with Jesus, it continued.
You can't be a Jew and worship another God, even if you observe Jewish festivals. Judaism does not recognize Christ as God.
The Apostle also didn't prey to Jesus! No one calls him God, except John and he wrote way after Judaism and Christianity parted ways. Paul specifically says there is but one God, the Father. There is no one else he calls God. Lord is not only a divine title. Anyone who is appointed above anyone else is his lord. Paul also says that the head of Christ is God. Read your Bible closely, practice what you preach.
Judaism DOES NOT reject Christ, it points TO Christ.
If retro interpreted based on the NT, using OT references based on Septuagint and out of order and context. Muslims also claim Isaiah mentions Mohamed. Whatever.
The prophecies of the Old Testament point to a coming Messiah
Jewish messiah (and only apocalyptic Jews believed in him) was supposed to be a human being, not god.
Messianic Jews believe Jesus is the fulfilment of that prophecy
So, then they don't believe Jesus is God?
When talking about Judaism its important to know and note the difference
No, FRiend, Judaism does not accept Christ in any form or shape. No Jewish sect believes messiah has arrived. The conditions are not right. messianic Jews are Christians, not Jews.
Its important to understand, Yes, the Jewish holidays, are feasts commanded by God. But instead of looking at these simply as Laws that must be obeyed or observed, we should see them as they REALLY ARE.
Well, the Law doesn't apply to Christians. So they are under no obligation to keep them.
These Celebrations are to celebrate what God has done for the people of Israel.
What has he done for the people of Israel? I can think of a lot horrible things too.
Then I would call it Paulianity. It's a common affliction among Christians. Paul did not teach what Jesus taught in the Gospels. He taught his own.
Only Christians pray the Lord’s Prayer even if they dress it in Jewish garbs. Matthew was written in Greek.
Rejected by Judaism, a blapshemer in Jewish eyes.
You're starting to sound like those blasted Calvinists /grump.
And OBTW so was and is Yah'shua. Peter, John, Matthew, Jude, Mark, Luke and Paul were Messianic Jews.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
And the Romans were just there on holiday, right?
All rejected by Israel and thrown out of the synagogues. You may wish to read John's Gospel; it's not something you'd expect from a Jew. In fact he treats the Jews as definitely not the same kind as himself.
od>Jesus was a Jew.

You might want to ask the Ru'ach HaKodesh to illuminate Romans 11.
Very specifically: Romans 11 where Paul discusses who is grafted into whom.
NAsbU Romans 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off,
and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them
and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,
NAsbU Romans 11:19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off
so that I might be grafted in."
Paul warns against the pride of a Gentile follower of Yah'shua.
NAsbU Romans 11:22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God;
to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness,
if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
NAsbU Romans 11:23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief,
will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
A Jew who comes to know the Jewish Messiah for their salvation
does not become a Christian,
They become a "called out one", a member of the Ekklesia.
They become a Messianic Jew.
The L-rd's name ( SHEM ) is not je-zeus;
it is Yah'shua ( YHvH is my salvation )
NAsbU Romans 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Which is why you must call on His Name for salvation.
See Exod. 15:2; 2 Sam. 23:5; Job 19:25 Ps. 18:2; 19:14; 62:1, 7; 118:14 Isa. 12:2; Isa 49:6; Isa 54:8
When they came to believe in Jesus as Christ, Son of God, our Lord and Savior, they became Christians, fathers of the Catholic Church, and Saints, every one.
Jesus was considered a heretic. The Jews no more consider his teachings to be worthy of consideration or belief than they do those of Elisha ben Abuyah.
Je-zeus?
Really?
You should delete this one from your cut-and-paste queue.
It's really rather batty.
When they came to believe in Jesus as Christ, Son of God, our Lord and Savior, they became Christians, fathers of the Catholic Church, and Saints, every one.
The catholic church was started in the fourth century
One day you will come to reject the myths.
