Saul of Tarsus, son of Benjamin Part 7

Salvation, from what?

We touched on this question briefly last week, this week we would like to expand on this subject.

If we look at the Society’s of the rest of the World, gentiles followed many different gods. They made sacrifice to the idol god’s merely to get the things they would have desired. Many of these Society’s did not believe or have any knowledge of what God considered a Sin. Thus the question begs us to ask if you have no idea you are committing a sin, why then do you need salvation. When this question was posed to a friend this week, the response that was received was a referral to the original Sin’s of Adam and Eve.
So again we ask since the knowledge of the original sin is only found in the Jewish Torah, how did the gentiles know that they were sinful and needed the Salvation of a Messiah?

I would like to refer you all to the book of Number’s Chapter 15:15-16. God directed that there will be one law for all, who will make a burnt offering unto the Lord your God Adonai your Father in Heaven. The Lord God Most High.

Ok so if any who follow the Jewish people and live amongst them are required to make burnt offing for a sin sacrifice are doing so, then why does the Christian Church refuses to accept the concept that Jesus’ death on the cross was for the sole purpose to make a perfect burnt offing to the Lord God Adonai and to remove only the requirement for a burnt offering unto the Lord God Most High. The explanation here lies based on our understanding that in Saul’s inability to separate the Talmud (Oral interpretations of Torah) from the 613 commandments God gave to Moses. (This is an excellent place to find information about the 613 Mitzvot www.newjerusalem.name/judaism/613_mitzvot.htm)

This can be better understood in the fact that God did not place the requirement for a Sinful offering upon the Jewish people until he brought them out of the land of Egypt. A lot of Christians try to write this off by claiming in Jesus’ death on the cross the Laws of Moses no longer apply. But as we pointed out last week Jesus has taught quite the opposite, again I want to look at Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus tells them if you have not followed God’s Will, the commandments which I have given to Moses for you to live your life by, then regardless of the miracles you have performed in my name I shall not know you and will turn you away from the Kingdom in Heaven.

So in Saul’s running around telling Gentiles all they have to do is accept Jesus as the Jewish Messiah and that will grant them Salvation. So based on our discussion in the beginning of the article he give the Idol Society all they need to get what they wanted. The early Church that was formed by Peter and the Disciples following the guide lines set forth in Numbers Chapter 15:15-16.

My question to Saul then becomes if your Salvation only depends on belief in Jesus the Jewish Messiah. So where then is the Justice or the Consequences for your actions?
