Gentiles: a person who is not Jewish. The split between Jews and Gentiles began with Jacob.   Before Jacob, there were no Jews. Noah, Abraham, and Isaac were not Jews. The term “Jew” refers to the descendants  Where it ALL began! In Genesis 32:28, God gave Jacob the new name of “Israel.” In the Old Testament, the descendants of Jacob are known as the Israelites. After the reign of Solomon over the nation of Israel, the nation divided into two nations in 931 BC; one continued the name of Israel and the other became known as Judah. Jacob’s son Judah descendants made up the majority of this second country. Over time, many people from Israel came to live in the nation of Judah. In 722 BC, the nation of Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians, but the nation of Judah continued.  By around 687 BC, the people of the nation of Judah were being called “Jehudi,” a Hebrew word that we translate as “Jew” (Jeremiah 34:9; Daniel 3:8, 12; 2 Kings 25:25). Many of the twe...

There is no evidence in the Bible of anyone keeping the Sabbath before the time of Moses, nor are there any commands in the Bible to keep the Sabbath before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai.  Read Deuteronomy 5:1-3. 1 And Moses called all Israel and said unto them, "Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them and keep and do them." 2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. Sabbath is derived from the verb "sabat," meaning to stop, to cease, or to keep . Its scriptural meaning is rooted in God's rest following the six days of creation (Gen 2:2-3). The Greek noun "sabbat" [savbbaton] translates the Hebrew noun "sabbat," which primarily means the seventh day of the week. Hebrew words nuakh—when we stop working. Sabbath functions to remind Israel of h...

  Is Fasting a Command? What is Fasting? Fasting means putting God first Fasting means self-denial {abstaining from } by going without food for a period of time. Fasting was commanded under the Law of Moses in connection with the day of atonement . But the new covenant has no such requirements.   Despite the tradition of fasting in the Bible, and Jesus' references to it , the New Testament teachings do not require fasting, and neither Jesus nor His disciples made fasting obligatory. Reasons for fasting are found in the Bible. ·         Sorrow for and confession of sin (Lev 16:29-34; Num 29:7-11; Deut 9:18; Dan 9:3,4). ·         To seek God’s guidance (e.g., see Judges 20:26) ·         To seek deliverance or protection (e.g., see 2 Chronicles 20:3 – 4) ·         To express repentance and a return to God (e.g., see 1 Samuel 7:6...

  CURSE OF THE LAW IN GALATIANS 3:10-13 10 For as many as are of the works of the  law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”  11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”  12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”  13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”).  J esus became a curse for us all so that all our sins could be forgiven. Jesus experienced hell and separation from God so that we would never be separated from God. Jesus became a curse so that we could be redeemed from the curse of the law. A curse pronounced by the law refers to the Mosaic Law  in the first five books of the Bible, which instructed the Israelites on how to prop...
