🤔 Who is the guest?
This time Dr. Yeshaya Gruber of Israel Bible Center will have a fascinating discussion with a Jewish historian Dr. Mark Nanos.
🎓What is the discussion about?
Dr. Mark Nanos argues that Paul’s infamous supposed diatribes against “the works of the law” have been grossly misinterpreted throughout history and actually have nothing at all to do with any objection whatsoever to the Biblical Torah. On the contrary, Paul is actually defending Torah (the “Instruction” or “Law” of God) and criticizing an entirely different custom altogether.

Thank you for this fascinate explanation.
i was not able to connect the title of the video to the explanation in this video
Children born of handmaiden are forced to stake their claim. They’re in the family by nomos. Natural-born children aren’t.
St Paul is using this analogy to show why Gentiles don’t need to convert to be Christian. They don’t need to press their claim by following the nomos(Law). They’re natural-born.
Pretty late, but the reason for this title is likely that the rules set out by various sects that were contemporary to Paul to become and live as a proselyte are called "Miqsat Ma'aseh ha-Torah", or "Works of the Law". There are documents that have been found at Qumran that list out these "Works of the Law" and insist that by living by them it would be "Accounted to you as righteousness". Paul, then, is making direct argumentation against the process of becoming a proselyte by arguing that it is our Faith that allows us to be counted as righteous, not a man-made conversion process or group identity. Hope this helps. ^_^
