Acts 10–11: ‘Cleansing’ the nations to enter the ‘big tent’ of God vs. Noachide laws; life in the blood

Post author By Jeff
Post date June 20, 2009

The vision of Acts 10, repeated in Acts 11, has been misinterpreted for millennia, in part because many people reading the text fail to see the vision of the animals in the context of Peter’s later meeting with Cornelius and the conversion of Cornelius household to the Gospel and God’s gift of the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius. Many Christians see the vision of the animals on the sheet as simply a change in dietary laws. The focus on physical food rather than upon the spiritual reality of God’s call of both Jews and Gentiles to believe in the one and only Messiah Yeshua becomes lost when this vision is interpreted out of context.

Acts 9:32-46 — Peter demonstrates imputed holiness, righteousness, ‘greater Israel’

Post author By Jeff
Post date May 23, 2009

Continuing the study of “the saints” in Acts 9:32, we learn that righteousness and holiness are gifts of God. Peter’s healings, including baptism of the dead, show that the “commonwealth of Israel” isn’t a new Israel but a more inclusive Israel.

Acts 9:32 — Who are “saints”?

Post author By Jeff
Post date May 2, 2009

Some devout believers in Yeshua (Jesus) think they can never call themselves “holy” or “saints” because they still sin. So why does God and His servants apply such terms frequently to those who sincerely seek Him? At the heart of holiness is God’s acquittal of sin through Yeshua, rather achieving sinlessness.

Post author By Jeff
Post date March 21, 2009

Sha’ul (Saul) encounters the true Messiah, Yeshua, while traveling to Damascus to arrest His followers. Over more than a dozen years, God transforms the “bulldog” of traditional Judaism of the time into one of the most powerful witnesses of Messiah Yeshua in the Roman empire.
