Excerpt
Some Christians don’t know that they can do some of the law of Moses if they choose too. “For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we are incorruptible.” (Holy Bible 1 Corinthians 9:19-25) This scripture Paul spoke, and also possibly Sosthenes. I say that because 1 Corinthians 1:1 says both names. This scripture 1 Corinthians 9:19-25 explains so much of the way that we are to be a part of. This scripture tells us that because of Eloheem (God’s) love we can become like so many different people. Paul made himself like he was a Jew that means around them that he did the law of Moses in various different ways, and did the customs of them. To them that are under the law he says he becomes like those people who are under law, that is those people who stay under laws of people, nations, and customs that are not God’s laws, he becomes like them. Also to the people who don’t understand the difference of being saved by faith in Meshiach (Christ), therefore they think they are saved by the laws of Messiah (Christ) without faith, he becomes like them. In other words they have some laws of Meshiach (Christ), but they don’t know how to correctly do the laws of Messiah (Christ). To the people who don’t choose to obey the customs of people, which are people’s laws, and to the people who don’t choose to obey the laws of nations, and of people he becomes like them. Also he becomes like the people who think they don’t have to keep the laws of Christ while having faith, he becomes like them, yet in all of these teachings he lets us know he is still obedient to the laws Christ gave to us, and gives to us. He is faithful to the true understanding of faith in Meshiach (Christ), and keeping the law of Meshiach (Christ). To the people that are weak in one way or another way he becomes like them so that they will heed what he says. In doing all of these things he continues to keep the true faith of Christ.
He then explains to the people that he does this because those that are Eloheem (God’s) servants are able to control themselves so much so that they love others, and try to become like them so that they might be saved. This is one way that was done specifically, because Yahuveh was forgetting the doing of the Torah, and establishing the way of the gentiles (nations). Paul was dealing with so many different believers, and that is what was required for him at the time of going to the nations. Meaning each way that he became like is a part of the understanding on how to serve God. Becoming like Jews, those who do the law of Moses, becoming like those who choose to have different customs, laws, and teachings by doing them or by not doing them that is a part of Eloheem (Gods) teaching also. Becoming like the weak that is a part of God’s teaching. He was establishing the basis of teaching everyone needed in order so Meshiach (Christ) would continue to build upon His will. So he became like those who were strong in different ways, and weak in different ways. This is a true part of Eloheem (God’s) teachings in Meshiach Yehoshua (Christ Jesus). This shows us the freedom we have in Meshiach to become all things to all people to show them love, yet people sometimes are required to stay in the customs they are in too, in order to show love. Showing love depends on what Yah wants His people to accomplish. Not only is this a freedom, this is a teaching showing us how to have faith that is existing, moving, and powerful by love. So, remember whatever way we choose to do, we are to remember the customs of people are not the perfect ways, and they will not bless people more or save people more. It is this way of Eloheem (God) that the scriptures are showing that will bless people more, and save people more. This way is the way of Yehoshua Meshiach (Jesus Christ), and not only is this the way of Yehoshua Meshiach the way is Yehoshua Meshiach (Jesus Christ), because He is the path to salvation. Most people think of a path as a thing, yet this path is the only way that we can serve Eloheem (Dios, God). He is the one who established, finished, did all of the paths required, and He is the literal paths that were required, and He is the one that establishes all paths that are required.
