You guys never mentioned NT Wright. Jen, if you want to recommend good literature on the whole story of Creation Jewish history, Christian history and New Creation, I highly recommend him🙂
at 54:00 I would argue --- From Numbers 15:16 KJV: One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. And who is Israel? There are 12 Tribes and Judah is only 1 of them. Please consider Romans 11 in light of what Yeshua said in Matt 15:24. Gentiles (the stranger that sojourneth with you) coming to salvation are grafted in as wild olive branches into the natural tree (Israel). All Israel both "wild" and "natural" are under ONE LAW. Sabbath is a command, Feast Days are commanded, eating clean (kosher) is commanded! To name but a few. FYI Both my husband and I, are half Jew from our mothers side, and "Gentile" from our fathers side and have wrestled with this too. My conclusion is we are all called to obey His commandments both Jew and Gentile!! No distinction. Paul, a Pharisee and student of Gamaliel is encouraging "baby steps" to the new Israelite 😉 so learning Torah won't become overwhelming.
So if a jew needs to be buried who believes in Yeshua where do they get buried? a jewish cemetery or a gentile cemetery? if one marry a gentile and have a child then the child grows up and marries a gentile and they have gentiles children the jewish ethnicity is erased right?
understand Yeshua, it is not an easy task when you are a non-Jew, especially if you neglect half of the Bible. You can find God's grace in the "Old Testament." The key point is repentance and confession. Look at Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and especially Daniel 9. What was the main message of John the Baptist? Repentance! And Jesus started with the same message. Other examples include the Golden Calf and David. Those were sins deserving death. But God forgave them. That is God’s grace in action.

Thanks! Yes, Tom is great. I actually interviewed him right before my interview with Jen. :)

Amen! We cannot understand God's grace (at least, not very well) without the Old Testament (two-thirds of the Bible).
