In Acts 15:3-7 Therefore why are you testing G-d -by laying a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we able to bear? Rather, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in accordance with the way those are also saved" And the whole assembly was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul describing all the signs and wonders that G-d did through them among the Gentiles And after they were silent, James responded, saying "Men, brothers, listeb to me- "Simon described how G-d first visted to take a people for His name from among the Gentiles "and the words of the prophets agree with this,justas it has been writen "After these things i will return, and rebuild the fallen tent of David. And I will rebuild its things being torn down. And I will restore it so the rest of mankind may seek out the Lord-even all the Gentiles upon whom My name has been called upon them, says the Lord doing these things known from past age'
"Therefore I judge that we not be troubling the ones from the Gentiles turning to G-d, but that we write to them that they should be abstaining from the contamibated things of idols, and sexual immorality, and the strangled thing, and blood. " For from ancient generations, Moses has the ones proclaiming him in each city -being read 9in the synagougues every Sabbath" Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, along with the whole church , that having chosen men from among them , they should send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas-Judas (the one being called Barsabbas) and silas, leading men among the brothers
Literal Translation in Outline format by Michael Magill
So them it is clear that they did not impose the whole Mosaic Torah upon the Gentiles. And the word clearly says there is no differnece between Jew and Gentile. So that means believer are not bound to Mosaic Torah observence in Christ. Also Read Colossians 2:14-16 Having forgiven us all trespasses Having wiped out the writen document against us with its decrees, which was opposed to us-indeed, He has taken it out of the middle , having nailed it to the cross! Having stripped the rulers and authorities, He exposed them in public , having triumphed over them in Him! Therefore let no one judge you in eating and in drinking, or in respect to a feast or new-moon or Sabbath Which are a shadow of the comming things, but the body is Christ's The Same translation. Sam

I guess that means you are saved. I am glad to hear that you are not involved in the Herasy of Judaizing the Faith in Messiah. You see we as believers all peoples both Jews and the Nations(Goyim) are a new creation in Messiah and are not bond by the Law, since we obey the Law and teachings of Our Messiah Yeshua (Aramaic for Joshua) in the septuagint Greek OT both Joshua and Jesus are called Yeisous from the Greek word of the Hebrew Yehoshua. Our Messiah had a very common Hebraic name transliterated into Aramaic as Yeshuah , meaing Yahweh is Our Deliverer or Saviour. Sam

By the way the name Yeshua is in the AV of the Bible as Jeshua in Ezra 2:36; Nehmiah 11:26

In fact Jeshua occur 30X in the AV in 1/2 Chronicles , Ezra, and Nehemiah mostly in Hebrew as Yeshua, the same as in Ezra in Aramaic, also the Syrian Peshitta uses the name Yeshua for both Jesus and Joshua with the exact same letters as in the Hebrew Bible, although their letters are writen differently from the Hebrew in three scripts of Ancient and Modern Syrian Aramaic. Called Estrangla, Serto, and Swadaya respectivly. Note Saint Ephraim the Syrian noted the Peshitta in the same Hebrew letters and forbid it, making the thick script letters of Estrangla used in its stead. I wonder if he was anti-Jewish in his veiw and wanted to seperate the Jewish believers from the Gentile belivers in making his decison. Sam
