You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Galatians 2:15 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
15 We [hemeis] who are Jews [Ioudaios] by nature, [phusis] and [kai] not [ou] sinners [hamartolos] of [ek] the Gentiles, [ethnos] KJV-Interlinear
15 "We are Jews by nature, and not sinners from among the Gentiles; NASB This verse connects the last verse to the next verse, which should be rather obvious. But, Paul is making the point that salvation is by faith. And since it is by faith and since it applied to everyone, then they, Paul and the Apostles, who are Jews and they were saved by faith, then why should the gentiles have any other demands placed upon them. There are no other demands placed on the Jews, and so there should be no extra demands or expectations, or hoops to jump through, for the gentiles. When one grows up within a culture and lives their life based on the culture, then those cultural choices should not be placed on others. Some cultures insist on its people wearing black. Some cultures expect the men to have beards. Some cultures have this lifestyle, and other cultures have that lifestyle. So whether you push bones through your nose, or will only drive sports cars, then these things are choices that you make and have nothing to do with salvation. The Jewish history is full of cultural examples that were primarily designed to be teaching aids, for learning spiritual principles. They were never designed to be the spiritual life. And by the way, the term, Jew, did not begin with Abraham, nor even Jacob or Moses. That term came along many, many centuries later when Judah became known as Judea, and then naturally its occupants were called Jews. The circumcision of Abraham was done as a picture of faith. Faith came first, and thus salvation was already completed, when Abraham circumcised himself. Abraham back then was called a Hebrew. This set him apart from all other races on planet earth. His spiritual status was set apart from all others, and then his physical make up was set apart as a teaching aid to symbolize that separation from all others.
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
