Dear Chris;
I believe Yeshua is the Meshiach. That said I think it was the scribes, elders, sadduces, and pharisees who ceased to be Jewish, because they rejected the Messiah G-d had promised to them. Paul was a Pharisee among Pharisees and certainly was their equal, I believe he was write, and they were mistaken. It was their choice to turn away.
I don't think Paul bragged about it. I was simply pointing out that all of these feasts and every page in the OT were about Yeshua. For this reason I think these feasts and traditions can help shed light on our understanding of him.
As far as there being two types of Jews, I must agree. However I also believe their are two types of Gentiles. Like Jews, they believe or disbelieve.
Thanks for asking, in Yeshua's Love - DLL |
