Yep. and saw Jesus as its fulfilment.
Fulfilment yes, dismissal no.
"We are no longer under the Law" does not mean the Old Testament is no longer to be considered - as I often hear from Christians, and is evident from the almost total lack of understanding or application.
The Hebrew Scriptures were written generations, in some cases centuries later. So were Buddhist Scriptures. This is a specious argument.
And the books of Moses were most likely not actually penned by Moses. However, the Gospels do purport to be accurate biographies of Jesus, and I think it is a crucial point of understanding that the New Testament DID NOT YET EXIST during the lifetime of Jesus, let alone most of His Apostles.
Wrong. They gathered on the Lord's Day, they celebrated their own Liturgy, had the Sacrament of the Eucharist ...
We will have to agree to disagree. I have laid out my case already that the Lord's Day and the Sabbath - especially at this early stage - were one and the same, only observed differently. For one, the Temple blood sacrifice was still in full effect.
Just as one more point to support my position...with the hundreds of times the word Lord is used in the
OLD Testament, who exactly does that refer to? Jesus was not walking the Earth yet.
No you didn't, reread your Acts.
I might offer the same...with a focus on the argument between Paul and Peter.
You are content with institutional religion. And there is NOTHING wrong with that.
I am focused on what was actually taught, by whom, in what context. I will not allow you to tell me that what words came from Jesus' mouth are subject to the whims of men. There's enough of that already with textual criticism.
