History of the Nazarenes

[sittingShiva]

Shlama sittingShiva,

Thanks for sharing <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> I feel that we've progressed in this discussion and have represented our ideas. My question regarding Paul and YHWH is founded upon my acceptance of the book of the Acts of the Shlichim. See also 2Peter 3:15

Blessings, Aaron

Strange because my understanding of the purpose of Shlichim is to not only preserve, but also to strengthen the identity of the Jewish People by both those who are in diaspora as well as by those who now find themselves at home in Israel. That Paul would be a prime example according to you of this very thing is a mystery to me. Jesus, I understand ... after all, there is the clear statement attributed to him in Matthew 5:17-19. But Paul was clear that he wished for the laws of the People to be abolished and rather replaced with mythological ideals of another People. Do you mind explaining to me what it is I must be missing in your above statement since I fail to see the consistency in such a view? Thank you. <!-- s:tellme: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tellme.gif" alt=":tellme:" title="Tell Me" /><!-- s:tellme: -->
