laz,

This is Tom Sathre. I gave examples, such as women being saved through
childbirth, in which it does not work to understand in a single way a
single word. Was my writing unclear? The "bridge verse" at the end of
Romans 14 is another example.

Tom.

Room for dispute? That would depend on what is being disputed. Romans 14
is essentially speaking about food, in particular the difference between
vegetarians and those who eat meat.
All in all Romans 14 agree with what I am stating below.
Now if you are speaking of the judgment part, you would have to throw
away MUCH of scripture to say we do not judge or make right judgment at
all. One must learn to understand the difference of what scripture is
speaking to. As I do not believe there is true conflict in scripture.
We can continue with this thread, but I need to know just what area you
disagree with?
For example, there are certain standards of the faith which are constant
and unchanging and vital to the faith. These are not disputable. There
are also judgments and such which are undisputable.
laz
laz,
This is Tom Sathre. What about the disputable matters, such as
described in
Romans 14 (and many other places)? In your theology is there room
for
dispute?

Agreed, we are not. But this is not to say we are not supposed to
be.
Y'Shua being the HEAD? THAT IS true theocracy.
As for political tests. I agree with your comment on that. I am
not
Republican nor Democrat, I would most likely be called a TRUE
Independent. Not locked into any one creed of political
persuasion.
Each political party is one of extremes, at least when running
for
office. I find that each holds some truth, just like each
different (so
called) denomination within the body. But neither has all the
truth or
pure truth. Which is ONE reason why Y'Shua our Messiah is the Head
of the
body of this theocracy. For we cannot (as true believers) base
our
decisions upon circumstances or outward situations or how it
looks,
whether good or bad. But ONLY by the Head, Y'Shua which has
released the
Holy Spirit unto us for discernment and understanding....
As I spoke in another post to another list. What if He called us
to
proclaim judgment? What if, against all we believe and hold dear,
when we
come to vote He speaks to us and says, 'THIS one, or THAT one'?
Contrary
to everything we thought in the natural?

laz,
Do you want references to the history of church and state in this
country
in the last 225 years? The plain truth is that there is no
political
test
for walking in the spirit; many, many people have claimed to be
the
Messiah. Almost all the historical info in the Bible concerns a
theocracy,
which we in the US today are NOT.

Well it happens all the time and I do not cry 'foul'. Though
at
times I
DO question the common sense of some, as well as their
blindness
and
deafness.
If by 'favored status' you mean of those in positions of power
and
authority, that is another things altogether. Yet I still do
not
know if
I would cry 'foul'.
I guess I am not fully in understanding of the question....
Why
would one
of the spirit cry 'foul' against something rather than BE an
example with
their life as their statement?

This is Tom Sathre. So
Who wouldn't cry "foul" if a another institution
promulgated its political opinion from the viewpoint of
its
favored
status?

Tom, I don't think you understand what I am saying. I
certainly am
not
speaking about 'elementary fairness'.
As for favored position, I do not understand what you mean
by
this
concerning the body. For those truly of the body are not
favored
at all,
but scorned and rejected mostly.
But there is a difference between the real and the
counterfeit.
The
counterfeit indeed is favored, and is the one whom will
one
day
welcome
in the one world religion with open arms. Indeed a big
portion
of
it is
ushering it in already.
The questions I asked concerned the difference between
these 2
(the real
and the counterfeit) and how the real should be.

First of all, 'no interpretation of scripture is personal'....Kefa/Peter
wrote that.....
Second, if what I wrote made you think I believe the 'church' is not
carnal you have definitely mis-understood me. Most of the ones who call
themselves church are carnal just as the world is carnal. There are FEW
who are not and make up the true body. And even in this, not saying that
they do not give in to carnality at all..even Paul and the others did.
Only Y'Shua walked fully.....
The real of the 'church' and state being separate is totally other than
anything carnal. The opinion given by judges and such of this is totally
carnal, AND is a total mis-understanding of the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights....
laz
Jonathan,
This is Tom Sathre. The reason I see separation of church and state
in
laz's opinion here is that it amounts to saying that everything
that's not
"church" is "carnal". This allows no room for disputable matters,
and this
allows no test to be constructed to decide a matter as far as it
being
"carnal" and "non-carnal". (If you propose a test, I can always
respond
that I read the Bible differently. As you get to know me, you'll
form your
own opinion about the likelihood that responses like this from me
are
truthful. Some parts of the Bible are plain and some parts are hard
to
understand. That's a non-testability built right in.)
That's the start of the reason that church and state were
separated.
Tom.

laz,
This is Tom Sathre. Your opinion, given below, is separation of

laz,

This is Tom Sathre.

Section 6 of the US Constitution forbids setting up of religious tests for
political office - for example, "You must be a member of XYZ religious
group to be President." The plain fact is that the members of XYZ religious
group think that theirs is best. If they thought the group was wrong about
something important, they wouldn't stay. But I find that members of
religious groups rarely are schooled in civics. Frequently the schooling in
"civics" is from the leaders of XYZ.

Perhaps you and I are talking past each other. My guess of what you mean is
that the US religious and civic organizations cannot be identical. Is that
what you mean?

This nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values and morals. So in
essence the Constitution and other bills and writings were based upon
this foundation. So in this sense a resounding YES.
Over the years the enemy has slipped in and perverted the church vs.
state issue. The very Ten Commandments they are now trying to outlaw in
government buildings and properties is the very building block of all the
laws of this nation from its founding.

Now as for 'US religious and civic organizations', you are correct as
regards secular vs. those who are of the body. But those of the body
indeed NEED to fully be ONE in both areas within the body.

Again, I do not quite understand your question enough to answer it. Do
you mean a 'person', an organization, a church or denomination of.
And also depends upon what you mean by religious. Whether 'PURE' religion
spoken of in scriptures, or just religion as seen and interpreted by man
and his ideals?

I CAN answer for myself though. In regards to my voting lets say, I
decide based mostly upon scriptural direction. I suppose the one (what
ever political persuasion) whom reflects scriptural moral backbone the
most gets my vote. Admittedly this is also with regards to spiritual
guidance by the Holy Spirit.

This 'scriptural' I speak of is not of personal interpretation either.
Most things are black and white in scripture.

The laws (instructions) of Y'Shua are not different from the Father's.
This is an error on the part of man and a means of justifying
disobedience or lawlessness.

AND they are not just 'Jewish' laws. When the 'Instructions' of YHWH were
given to man, there was no Jew. Matter of fact none of the people were
called Jews until after the dispersion of the Northern Kingdom.
YHWH's Instructions were for ALL of those of the nation He names Israel.
Not for Judah along, but for ALL the seed of Abraham. Who was called and
walked in obedience to YHWH's Instructions. Yet Abraham was not a Jew.

Now there ARE Jewish laws, and many do not have ANYTHING to do with
YHWH's laws accepting in their own minds and pride. THESE they follow
more than YHWH's Instructions and these are what Y'Shua was correcting
them about when He came first.

What Judeo-Christian means is of those who believe Y'Shua is Messiah, and
follow the ways of YHWH. Just as many did who first came over to this
land centuries ago. But unfortunately, religion found them out and they
also became as those Y'Shua came first to correct. Now calling Torah a
strange thing.

Matthew 5: 17 ¶ "Don’t think that I came to destroy the Torah or the
prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fill up ( bring to
realisation).
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not
even one smallest letter {literally, iota} or one tiny pen stroke {or,
serif} shall in any way pass away from Torah, until all things are
accomplished.
19 Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and
teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven;
but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom
of Heaven.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the
scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven.

anything to suggest in the foundation of the U.S.A. which is unique to
the Son of God?

Yes, Belief that Y'Shua was the Messiah of Israel spoken of in scripture.
THAT IS foundational, He being the Corner/Head Stone of the foundation.

BTW- Your question was "All of these are Jewish laws. None of them are
commandments specific to
Christ. Do you have any commandments specific to Christ which are part
of the founding of the U.S.A.?"

So I did answer your question. The Torah (Laws) of Y'Shua are the very
same as the Fathers Torah (Laws). All things specific to the Father are
the same to the Son.

In the New Testament it says 'new commandment', but it also says that
this new commandment is not new at all, but has been from the beginning.
Reference John 13:34; 1 John 2:7-8; 2 John 1:5...
What WAS new was the enabling to be obedient and guided by the Holy
Spirit INDWELLING those who were/are His, continually.

Jonathan,
This is Tom Sathre. The reason I see separation of church and
state
in
laz's opinion here is that it amounts to saying that everything
that's not
"church" is "carnal". This allows no room for disputable
matters,
and this
allows no test to be constructed to decide a matter as far as it
being
"carnal" and "non-carnal". (If you propose a test, I can always
respond
that I read the Bible differently. As you get to know me, you'll
form your
own opinion about the likelihood that responses like this from
me
are
truthful. Some parts of the Bible are plain and some parts are
hard
to
understand. That's a non-testability built right in.)
That's the start of the reason that church and state were
separated.
Tom.

Jonathan & laz,

You cite a commonly made claim - that this nation was founded on XYZ values
and morals - whatever XYZ may be, you choose. But I would ask you what the
opposite viewpoint is. I've read many citations of words from the Founding
Fathers about why they did what they did. But I know, about myself, that a
quotation from me today might be different from a quotation from me last
year. Didn't the Founding take longer than that?

This nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values and morals.
I know that the U.S.A. was founded upon morals to be found in the Old
Testament. Thus I do understand the the U.S.A. was founded upon certain
Jewish morals. But I have never seen any of the commandments of the
Lord Jesus Christ in law of the U.S.A. Can you name any?

The Denver "Post" claimed on 2/27/04 that a replacement for Judge Moore's
hunk made of rock had been placed in the same building, across the room.
The replacement is reported to be on a plastic plaque on the wall, not a
2.5 ton hunt of rock. Altho' I've never seen the building, there's lots to
be said for this removal to be a "cause celebre" of certain Christians and
not much more.

Section 6 of the US Constitution forbids setting up of religious

Why, Tom, do you say that Laz's opinion cited below is
separation
of
church and state? I see none of the terms "separation",
"church",
or
"state" in his statement. I see only the Word of God.
laz,
This is Tom Sathre. Your opinion, given below, is
separation
Post by Tom Sathre
of
church
and
state. This makes it an American opinion. Do you have a
world-wide
opinion?
Tom.
I can answer for myself if its ok Jon. Political
opinion

is
nothing
less or more than carnal favoritism based upon carnal
understanding
and belief's and desires.

Yes. But the one exception might be on forgiveness and mercy rather than
an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth in the Torah.

In the New Testament is written many commandments from the Lord
Jesus
Christ to His brothers and sisters which were not available before
He
spoke them to us. Do you disagree?

As Jon said, the XYZ makes this thread hard to follow for me. But I
believe I get the jist of what you are asking. Must be the way my mind
thinks?

Before the 'founding fathers' wrote our constitution or anything else
there were many people who migrated here who believed in Y'Shua as
Messiah and obeyed the Torah of YHWH. They celebrated the appointed times
of YHWH (at least as required without there being a Temple), observed the
true Sabbath, and all this entails.

YEARS skipped here!**************

Later the 'founding fathers' wrote the 'foundational principals' of how
to live and how we would live in this nation as a believing pepole of
God. No matter that they had already either rejected, denied, or just
lost/forgot what the first ones were about. They laid hold of Jesus as
Christ and took their moral standard for the 'new government' from
scriptural instruction. Even though they did not take this all the way,
and mixed it with traditions of man.

We were not founded into a non-believing nation, or one which lived by
the standards of any other country.

Now on a more complicated part of this (complicated because it is only
just now being revealed in the last several years) is just WHO WE ARE.
And the answer to this is we are of the Northern Kingdom of Israel the
Lost Tribes. In fact there is most likely very few real gentiles left
after over 2700 years of assimilation with the nations while we are still
in dispersion among the nations for our punishment!
Understand we are not Judah/Jew, but Israel. And as with Israel some
Jews/of Judah are here with us, just as Judah is only in tribe of Israel
out of 12.
So you see it is geneticaly bound in and to us, no matter those who deny
it.

In essense I suppose you could say that the true foundation of this
nation is from the beginning. For YHWH proclaimed this before the
foundations of the world were laid in and by His Word.

Jonathan & laz,
You cite a commonly made claim - that this nation was founded on XYZ
values
and morals - whatever XYZ may be, you choose. But I would ask you
what the
opposite viewpoint is. I've read many citations of words from the
Founding
Fathers about why they did what they did. But I know, about myself,
that a
quotation from me today might be different from a quotation from me
last
year. Didn't the Founding take longer than that?
Tom.

This nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values and morals.
I know that the U.S.A. was founded upon morals to be found in the
Old
Testament. Thus I do understand the the U.S.A. was founded upon
certain
Jewish morals. But I have never seen any of the commandments of
the
Lord Jesus Christ in law of the U.S.A. Can you name any?
