2 Chronicles 31:3

saying,
“When will the new moon be over,
So that we may sell grain,
And the sabbath, that we may open the wheat market,
To make the bushel smaller and the shekel bigger,
And to cheat with dishonest . . .

New moon (Month) keeps featuring in the Bible, yet an ignorant person attributes it to idolatry. Instead of finding out what it means to his/her religion, they will be asking if moon was lost before.
I also wonder if it was lost that the Bible kept making reference to it.
Jesus being a Jew

The teachings of Christ and actions of Christians are two parallel lines.

NB.
NEW MOON = NEW MONTH

Fortran12 to his useless homosexual father:

Am sorry my question i above your intelligence. You feel so intimidated you had to post a picture that is irrelevant to the conversation.

fortran12:

You mention Christ you quote Jewish traditions. Like seriously?

Xposed2020:


As all human beings, Jesus Christ was born in a particular place and at a specific time in history. His mother was a Jewish woman named Mary. Her husband, Joseph, was Jesus’ legal father or guardian. According to the genealogy from Mary, on His human side Christ is descended from the Israelite tribal patriarch Judah and his descendant King David (Luke 3:31, Luke 3:33; compare Acts 2:30; 2 Timothy 2:.

The biblical testimony is plain. The book of Hebrews tells us that “it is evident that our Lord arose from [the tribe of] Judah …” (7:14). And those descended from Judah are known by the abbreviated term Jews. The apostle John wrote that “He came to His own [the Jews], and His own did not receive Him” (John 1:11). Both a Samaritan woman and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate clearly recognized that Jesus was Jewish (John 4:9; John 18:35).

We are further told that “the scepter shall not depart from Judah” (Genesis 49:10). The scepter symbolizes the promise of kingship and salvation. Jesus, the King of the Jews, is the Messiah. Christ (the Greek term for Messiah) is the ultimate fulfillment of the ruler mentioned prophetically in 1 Chronicles 5:2: “Yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler.”

The Bible’s final book refers to Jesus as “the Lion of the tribe of Judah” (Revelation 5:5). On Jesus’ human side, David is called His father, meaning ancestor, in Luke 1:32. Romans 1:3 likewise says he “was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.” Thus, from numerous testimonies, He was certainly a Jew.

My Comment;
Christ was a Jew and sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Hence he made reference to Jewish Scripture, worshipped, offered offerings, did most things Jews did.
The old testament is part of which Scripture?
The BIBLE of course.
Is it possible for a hen to give birth to a lizards?
Hell No!
Read your Scripture yourself.

I am not disputing the fact that Jesus was a Jew, but have you read the old testament? It talks about a messiah that will be sent to the world not just Israel. If i ask u for the reference for Jesus sent to israel you will mention just one portion of the bible which really does not support your argument.
Jesus did not come to fulfill Jewish traditions and customs his mission was greater than just the jews. John 3 vs 16 does not support your claim and these are Jesus own words.

Xposed2020:


Then Jesus doesn't fit the description because according to his testimony, he was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Israel [Jews] (Matthew 15:24, Matthew 10:6, John 1:11, Heb 7:14)

No one said he came to fulfill Jewish traditions and customs but do you believe a Fulani person can ever govern any state in Southern Nigeria in a Democratic dispensation? Hell no!
As such it will be a herculean task for a non Jew to convince/guide Jews onto the right path.

prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, Matt. 13:57 (Mark 6:4; Luke 4:24; John 4:44).

All that implies, is that to fulfill the purpose God Almighty sent him to the Jews, as Jews did, being Jew, born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship (synagogues). He preached from Jewish text (OT), celebrated the Jewish festivals(observe burnt offering upon sighting a new moon/month). He went on pilgrimage to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem where he was under the authority of priests.... He was born, lived, taught and died as a Jew.

"God" Himself oversaw the writing of Bible so that the Bible can trusted as the perfect and infallible Word of God, even while it is also a product of human authorship (John 14:26, 1 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19-21, Hebrews 4:12.)
Ultimately, we can say that God wrote the Bible since it is His revelation of Himself to us and He has preserved it so we would know the truth (2 Peter 1:3).
Hence I am only presenting "God's" testimony as recorded in any Biblical verse I quote.

Then how authentic is John 3:16?

fortran12:

So we are to believe your verses but John 3 vs 16 is false right?. All the verse u quoting are just cherry picked. What was his last command, he said go into all the world and preach the gospel, or that verse is also false? The verse you quoted Matt 10, if you read the next chapter you will understand. Jesus asked them to go preach to the israelites and the disciples came went and came back with their report. he did not mean they should never present their message to the gentiles. It was only that out reach that involved the israelites. Jesus himself preached to the Samaritan woman at the well. If he was not sent to the gentiles why did he do so?
The issue is all the verses you are quoting their exists a portion in the chapter that disproves all the claims you are making with them. E.g just as i showed you with the Matt. 10 .

The Heb. 7 you quoted does not support your claim in verse 25, it did not mention Israel, it says Jesus is able to save anyone that come to God by him, and he even intercedes for them."

John 1 vs 11 says his people did not receive him, as it was the jews that aided in his crucifixion. He reached out to the gentiles and they accepted him, his final message to his disciples is to go to the world and preach. So cherry picking only one verse out of a chapter is not right. If you are sincere read the whole chapter and point out the facts

Jesus did not only preach from the old testament, he preached new things too, he was taken to the Jewish temple as a kid by his parents and he was not under the authority of the priests, it was the priests that marveled at his wisdom at a young age.

I only asked a question.

Which Happens to be his constituency & the target audience he was sent to (John 1:11).

I believe he needed water and didn't preach.

The people he was sent to. His ministry was for the Jews (exactly my point). His people, the Jews.

Xposed2020:


These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(Matthew 10:5-6)

Now he did not need to give burnt offering for his sins and for the PEOPLE everyday (this is a Jewish practice just as Aaron did for himself and fellow Jews not a Christian practice.)

fortran12:


Why do you keep choosing the portions that suit you? I gave you the continuation of the story (Matt 11), but you ignore on purpose. That commandment was for that mission only. In Matt. 28 vs 19 -"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,". Was Jesus dreaming or sleeping when he said these words to the disciples?. The final message he gave them was in Matt 28, and you are quoting Matt. 11 which happened at the start of his ministry. Be honest and stop picking verses.

You claim Jesus was only sent to the Jews cos of Hebrews, well Romans chapter 3 (written to the Gentiles) says he was sent to anyone who believes in him. Romans 3 vs 29- 30 answers your question -" Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith."

So as you see, none of what you are quoting supports your argument. You purposely ignore the whole story and choose a portion that does not reflect the message.
