So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
Romans 2:26 ESV

If a gentile comes to faith and keeps the commandments, even though he wasn't born as a Jew, he is as a Jew (a praise) in the eyes of God, and God sees him as a party to the covenants. (And the only commandments Paul could have been talking about are those of the Law of Moses.)

Good Morning Folks ☕️???

It just makes sense that humility, love, compassion, and mercy are the building blocks of our God’s Kingdom. At least, that’s what we learn from scripture, but it’s not always what we exhibit in daily life. Tony Boyatt can talk about from experience! We have heard about it in the music Tony and The Exodus Road Band have shared over the years. Now Tony is calling fellow believers to follow Messiah Yeshua’s example so that we can make progress in healing His people and the communities where His people are gathered.

Question 150: Was Mary, the mother of Yeshua, from the tribe of Judah?

Answer:

It is not proved, except inferentially. The Jews, in constructing their genealogical tables, reckoned wholly by males. Some of the best modern authorities however, observing all the rules followed by the Hebrews in genealogies, have reached the conclusion that in Zorobabel the lines of Solomon and Nathan unite and that Joseph and Mary are therefore of the same tribe and family, being both descendants of David in the line of Solomon and that both have in them the blood of Nathan. David's son, Joseph, has descent from Abiud (Matthew 1:13) and Mary from Rhesa (Luke 3:27), sons of Zorobabel. The genealogies of Matthew and Luke are parts of one perfect whole; the former bearing the descent of Mary and Joseph from Solomon - the latter the descent of both from Nathan.

Question 149: Who was Lydia?

Answer:

She is mentioned in Acts 16:15 and was a resident of Thyatira, a city celebrated for its purple dyes. She seems to have been a business woman, engaged in the sale of dyed goods and she evidently had an extensive establishment, as she was able to accommodate the missionary party. She was a proselyte to the Jewish faith, but became a believer under Paul's ministry.

Question 148: How long did Lazarus live after being raised from the dead?

Answer:

There are no authoritative data on the subject. An old tradition, mentioned by Epiphanies, says that Lazarus was thirty years old when restored from death and that he lived thirty years thereafter. Still another tradition declares that he travelled to Southern Europe, accompanied by Mary and Martha and preached the Gospel in Marseilles.

Question 147: Who were the Karaites or Readers?

Answer:

They were a small remnant of the Sadducees, "the Protestants of Judaism," formed into a sect by Anan-ben-Daniel in the eighth century. They rejected the rabbinical traditions and the Talmud and accepted the Scriptures alone. The origin of their name is uncertain. Some of the sect exists in the Crimea, Poland and Turkey.

Question 146: Was it a whale that swallowed Jonah?

Answer:

Nowhere in the book of Jonah are we told that the fish that swallowed Jonah was a whale. In Matthew 12:40 the word "whale" is used in the King James Version, but the revised version gives "sea monster" in the margin. There is absolute proof that sea monsters large enough to swallow a man have been found in the Mediterranean and other seas.
