Anyone who cannot preach 'gospel' from the Torah just doesn't understand the Torah. Very good Lance! Terry said,  What Jesus was telling the hearers, and us, is that you cannot add Jesus to the old covenant without losing everything.  Jesus did not come to patch up something old.  He came to make something totally new, something called a Christian, a new creature in Christ. Back up Terry, This is why I insist on a Biblical answer instead of a doctrinal answer.  Jesus said no such thing. To make something totally new, this something you call a Christian would be a sin tantamount to the sin of Satan.  And that would make Jesus a liar.      Terry,can you not see the absurdity of that doctrine? Jeff Jeff: You have me at a disadvantage.  I am a simple believer who does not have a handle on what all these religious terms mean.  When you say doctrine you use a word that I do not understand.  If your problem is that Jesus never used the word "Christian", then substitute "My sheep".  I thought I made it clear that I was using my paraphrase. Jesus is not a liar, and neither am I, and the only absurdity I see is insisting that the law still applies to Christians when the Bible is so clear that it does not. Terry
