Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / WHAT GOSPEL WERE THE TWELVE PREACHING?

« Last post by doug on March 05, 2026, 04:07:16 pm »

[Luke 9:1 KJV] "Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."
[Luke 9:2 KJV] "And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."
[Luke 9:6 KJV] "And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.".........Jesus sent the disciples to preach the gospel.
[Luke 9:22 KJV] "Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day."............Jesus spoke nothing of being slain, nothing about what his death and resurrection would accomplish, before he sent them to preach the gospel in v6. They could not be preaching the cross if they didn't know anything concerning it. They preached the kingdom Of God, which was the prophetic Davidic covenant in which believing Israel will reign with Christ for a thousand years.

[Ephesians 3:8 KJV] "Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;"..........Paul is saying you could search all scripture before Paul's epistles and you would find none of the mystery written. Christ revealed things to Paul that were kept secret before revealed to Paul...........
[Romans 11:33 KJV] "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"..........The meaning of unsearchable is seen in this verse, it means cant be found.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / THESE ANGELS DON'T BELONG IN DEUTERONOMY 32:43

« Last post by doug on March 04, 2026, 04:37:31 pm »

The Septuagint is found in the codex Sinaiticus...............The Codex Sinaiticus is the oldest manuscript containing both the Septuagint and the New Testament, and it shows significant differences in book arrangement from the Hebrew canon and other Greek sources.

The KJV doesn't include verses from the codex Sinaiticus............."The KJV does not contain verses directly from the Codex Sinaiticus. The Codex Sinaiticus is a significant manuscript that differs from the KJV in several ways, including the omission of certain verses and passages. For instance, the resurrection narrative in Mark (16:9–20) is absent from the Codex Sinaiticus, and other passages like the Lord’s Prayer conclusion and the woman caught in adultery are also missing. Additionally, the KJV includes concepts and interpretations that are not found in earlier manuscripts like the Sinai Bible, indicating that it has undergone revisions and changes over time."

The KJV didn't use the Septuagint either..............."The King James Version (KJV) translated the Bible using a combination of the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus for the New Testament."

My opinion is that the KJV didn't use the Sinaiticus because it was corrupt and not reliable and they didn't use the Septuagint because of likely corruption as well. The same corrupted verses can be found in both the Sinaiticus and the Septuagint. Here are the verse comparisons:
Deuteronomy 32:43 from the Septuagint states: "Rejoice, ye heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice ye Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people." .............This translation has "let all the angels of God worship him"

The translation of Deuteronomy 32:43 from the Sinaiticus into English is as follows: "Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God's angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.".............This translation has it as well "let all God's angels worship him"

The KJV translation does not contain "let all God's angels worship him" and is translated from the Masoretic text..................[Deuteronomy 32:43 KJV] "Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people."
The phrase can be found in Hebrews which is translated from the Textus Receptus...............[Hebrews 1:6 KJV] "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."

Here is the possible reason the KJV translators did not include the renderings from the Septuagint or codex Sinaiticus:
[Hebrews 1:5 KJV] "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"...................At no time did God say unto the angels "this day have I begotten thee" speaking of the Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ.
[Hebrews 1:6 KJV] "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."...............Now when he speaks again to the angels he said, "let all the angels of God worship him", When did God speak this? God spoke it when Christ was brought into the world!...................[1 John 4:9 KJV] "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."

Deuteronomy 32:43 is included in the Song of Moses:
[Deuteronomy 31:30 KJV] "And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.".
[Deuteronomy 32:44 KJV] "And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun."
[Deuteronomy 32:45 KJV] "And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:".......................The Song of Moses was spoken by Moses, not directly by the Lord, as in Hebrews. The Song of Moses is recorded way before John records Christ Jesus was brought into the world.
The Septuagint and the Sinaiticus both place "let all the angels of God worship him" in Deuteronomy 32, in the midst of Moses's Song of Moses, where it doesn't belong.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / WHY ARE THESE VERSES MISSING?

« Last post by doug on March 04, 2026, 01:17:38 pm »

[Mark 16:8 KJV] "And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid."

New bibles stop at verse 8. Verses 9 thru 20 are missing.
In these Bibles this passage ends with the disciples in fear.
Here are the missing verses. The extent of missing verses is significant:

[Mark 16:9 KJV] "Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils."
[Mark 16:10 KJV] "[And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept."
[Mark 16:11 KJV] "And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not."
[Mark 16:12 KJV] "After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country."
[Mark 16:13 KJV] "And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither believed they them."
[Mark 16:14 KJV] "Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen."
[Mark 16:15 KJV] "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
[Mark 16:16 KJV] "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
[Mark 16:17 KJV] "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;"
[Mark 16:18 KJV] "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
[Mark 16:19 KJV] "So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God."
[Mark 16:20 KJV] "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / PSALM 40:6 EARS OR BODY OR IS IT THE SAME?

« Last post by doug on March 04, 2026, 01:07:16 pm »

These verses give us pause to explain why in Psalm 40:6 the KJV says ears while the Septuagint doesn't, it says body.
The discrepancies found in these verses can b reconciled.

[Psalm 40:6 KJV] "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required."

Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and [sacrifice] for sin thou didst not require.
Psalm 40:6 Septuagint

The Septuagint is a collection from 70-72 translations? That's why LXX is used, it's Latin for 70.

I will compare these two LLX translations; Brenton's and ARalph's.

Brenton's, LLX reads.............Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou didst not require.

The King James used the Masoretic text, which reads...........Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required

Of note is that ARalph's LLX says ears, not body, just as the King James does. ARalph's translation................ θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας ὠτία δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ᾔτησας
Significantly, this does not include the word body (Σῶμα), but rather ears also (ὠτία).

Why do some translations/texts say ears and others say body? A possible explanation is that ears by synecdoche represents the body.
Here is a definition of synecdoche ........a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team”).

"We see examples of the New Testament expanding the Old Testament via synecdoche - that is, by expanding one of the original words given in the Old Testament as a part, to make it stand for a broader whole."
A clear example of this is Exodus 20:12..............[Exodus 20:12 KJV] "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."................This is quoted in Ephesians 6:2-3..................[Ephesians 6:2 KJV] "Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)"
[Ephesians 6:3 KJV] "That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."..............."The land that God gave the Israelites extended to the Euphrates; yet here Paul - by inspiration of the Holy Spirit - expands the quotation to cover the whole earth. Here a part (the land) represents the whole (the earth)."

Another example is Genesis 15:7, where Abraham is said to inherit the land of Canaan:..............[Genesis 15:7 KJV] "And he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.".............."Here, Abraham receives the land by inheriting it, which logically makes him the heir of Canaan. Yet in Romans 4:13, we read that Abraham is the heir of the world:"................[Romans 4:13 KJV] "For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith."............."again the part (the land) expressed the whole (the world)."

I think the use of synecdoche satisfactorily explains why in these verses, as others found in scripture, we see variation of cited old testament passages in the new testament and Pauline epistles.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / FIRSTBORN FIRSTBEGOTTEN WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

« Last post by doug on March 04, 2026, 12:29:43 pm »

This will examine discrepancies between the Septuagint and Sinaiticus in translating Hebrews 1:6. These are among the oldest manuscripts and have influenced the newer Bibles. The discrepancy revolves around their translation of first begotten as firstborn.

I have included two translations of the Septuagint for veracity:
"Hebrews 1:6 in the Septuagint (LXX) states: "And again when he brings in the firstborn into the inhabited world, he says, 'And let all the angels of God do obeisance to him!'" (Deuteronomy 32:43). This verse emphasizes the worship of God by angels, highlighting the significance of Jesus as the firstborn Son of God."

"The Hebrews 1:6 verse from the Septuagint states: "And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, ‘And let all the angels of God worship Him.'" This verse is often cited in discussions about the superiority of Jesus over all things, as it emphasizes the angels' obligation to worship Him."

For veracity I have included the text and a commentary:
"The English translation of Hebrews 1:6 from the Codex Sinaiticus is: "And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: Let all God's angels worship Him." "

"In Hebrews 1:6, the term "first begotten" (Greek: "prōtotokos") refers to Jesus Christ as the firstborn of God, emphasizing His unique position and authority. The Sinaiticus manuscript translates this term as "firstborn" (Greek: "prōtotokos") in Hebrews 1:6, maintaining the original Greek text."

Both use firstborn instead of firstbegotten, which is seriously incorrect, as will be seen.

Here is the KJV translation:
[Hebrews 1:6 KJV] "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."

I will examine verses pertaining to the use of the terms firstbegotten and firstborn to determine their respective meanings.

[Genesis 19:31 KJV] "And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father [is] old, and [there is] not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:".
[Genesis 22:21 KJV] "Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,"............. The firstborn is exactly what it says, the first child born. The primary use of firstborn is expressing chronological birth order,

The following verses require further consideration in regard to the use of firstborn.

[Colossians 1:15 KJV] "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:".................Jesus is said here to be a similitude of being first in the birth order; the rest of mankind followed him in birth order and position, The first born in the old testament received double of the inheritance and designated position as head of the family.

[Colossians 1:18 KJV] "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence."....................Christ was the first in the birth order similitude to receive a resurrected body. Others were raised from the dead but not resurrected.

[Hebrews 11:28 KJV] "Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.".....................God smote the firstborn of Egypt

[Hebrews 12:23 KJV] "To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"...................This verse is saying Christ, like Israel, was God's firstborn Son.............. [Exodus 4:22 KJV] "And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:"..............this again conveys first born birth order.

Outside of Hebrews 1:6 this is the sole use of firstbegotten:
[Revelation 1:5 KJV] "And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"....................I think Hebrews 1:6 can be beneficial in interpreting Revelation 1:5.....................[Hebrews 1:6 KJV] "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."................This verse expresses that the firstbegotten is to be worshiped. Both of these verses are speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ, the firstbegotten. The Lord Jesus Christ is the firstbegotten brought into the world....................[John 1:14 KJV] "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
[1 John 4:9 KJV] "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."

Firstborn conveys the chronological birth order, while firstbegotten conveys the deity of Christ. Firstbegotten expresses Christ's deity while firstborn doesn't fully do so. Technically, if Christ is the firstborn, he could have brothers, would they be Sons of God as well? Strongs Greek word for firstbegotten is also translated as firstborn; the KJV translators chose to translate it as firstbegotten in Hebrews 1:6.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / ORIGIN REVISED THE SEPTUAGINT WHICH INFLUENCED THE NEW BIBLES

« Last post by doug on March 03, 2026, 04:31:38 pm »

This study is to show how Origin had influence on the Septuagint. The Septuagint has influenced the new Bibles currently being used.

The codex Vaticanus is based on the Septuagint............................"The Codex Vaticanus is indeed based on the Septuagint, which is a translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. It is one of the earliest and most complete manuscripts of the Greek Bible, dating back to the 4th century AD. The Codex Vaticanus contains the majority of the Greek Old Testament and the New Testament, and it is considered a reliable source for textual criticism due to its early date and the Alexandrian text-type it represents. "

However, the Septuagint was corrected by Origen ................"The Septuagint, also known as the Greek Old Testament, was not solely corrected by Origen and other scholars. While Origen attempted to correct copyists' errors that had crept into the text of the Septuagint, which varied widely from copy to copy, this was not the only effort to correct it. Recensional activity before the Christian era involved harmonizing the Septuagint with the then-current form of Hebrew text, which included the Hexapla."

The Septuagint is a collection of 70 translators ..................."The Septuagint is indeed a collection of translations of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. It is the earliest extant Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, created for the Jewish community in Alexandria, Egypt, between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. The Septuagint does not consist of a single, unified corpus; rather, it is a compilation of various translations, including the Torah, the Nevi'im (Prophets), and the Ketuvim (Writings), along with other Jewish texts known as apocrypha"

The Septuagint has undergone various revisions and interpretations..................""Scholars have engaged with the Septuagint extensively, but there is no definitive scholarly edition that has been fully corrected. The Septuagint, also known as the Greek Old Testament, is a collection of translations of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, traditionally attributed to seventy-two translators commissioned by Ptolemy II Philadelphus. While scholars analyze its textual traditions and linguistic features, the translation itself has undergone various revisions and interpretations over time, and there is ongoing debate about its accuracy and textual integrity. Modern scholarship continues to explore its historical development and theological implications, but a complete critical edition has not been established."

Origen composed the Hexapla which influenced Septuagint copies........................"The Hexapla, a critical edition of the Hebrew Bible in six versions, was compiled by Origen before 240 AD. It is a word-for-word comparison of the original Hebrew Scriptures with the Greek Septuagint translation and with other Greek translations. In summary, the Hexapla's influence on the Septuagint is significant, as it provides a comprehensive comparison of the Hebrew text with the Greek translations, helping to clarify the original intent of the Hebrew Scriptures."

The Hexapla was used to correct the Septuagint..............."The Hexapla was indeed used to correct the Septuagint. Origen's Hexapla was a critical edition of the Hebrew Bible in six versions, four of which were translated into Greek. It was a word-for-word comparison of the original Hebrew Scriptures with the Greek Septuagint translation and with other Greek translations. The Hexapla was an immense and complex work that aimed to establish the correct text of the Septuagint, which Origen incorrectly assumed was what most closely agreed with the Hebrew text current in his day. The Hexapla's contribution to the textual history of the Septuagint has been significant, providing valuable information about the state of the Septuagint and related textual problems in the first two centuries C.E"

The codex Vaticanus was written in the 4th century....................."The Codex Vaticanus was written in the 4th century AD, specifically dated to circa 325–350 A.D. It is one of the oldest and most reliable manuscripts of the Christian Bible, containing both the Old and New Testaments."

The Vaticanus was influenced by the hexapla........................."Origen's Hexapla, here labelled with the adjectival Hexaplar, is shown as the source of the Codex Sinaiticus (א), Codex Alexandrinus (A) and Codex Vaticanus (B), three of the oldest extant manuscripts of the Greek Old Testament"..........Origen wrote the Hexapla before 240AD, the Vaticanus was written 325-350AD making it feasible that the Hexapla influenced all of these corrupted texts.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / DID JESUS EMPTY PARADISE?

« Last post by doug on March 02, 2026, 01:06:59 pm »

[Acts 2:29 KJV] "Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day."
[Acts 2:34 KJV] "For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,"...........Some say that when Jesus ascended he emptied paradise/Abraham's bosom and took them to heaven. I think that, it being said, that David upon his death did not ascend into heaven, dispels this notion. I think Jesus's ascension and leading captivity captive can have another explanation..........[Psalm 68:18 KJV] "Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them]."
[Ephesians 4:8 KJV] "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men."....... I think these verses are saying when Jesus ascended he led the captivity of the devil captive. The devil has taken us into captivity............[2 Timothy 2:26 KJV] "And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.".........I don't see this as saying Christ emptied Abraham's bosom upon his ascension.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / WHO IS THE FOOLISH NATION?

« Last post by doug on March 02, 2026, 01:00:47 pm »

[Deuteronomy 32:21 KJV] "They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.".........Many say that those who aren't his people and are a foolish nation are Gentiles. First of all the Gentiles aren't confined to being A NATION, they consist of nations, plural. This passage can found in a parallel passage here....... [Hosea 1:10 KJV] "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God."..........This passage is solely referencing Israel. The nation of Israel was not the Israel of God and weren't his people. As Paul says, not all Israel is of Israel; only spiritual Israel are his people Israel.........[Romans 9:6 KJV] "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:".........[Isaiah 65:1 KJV] "I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am found of [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation [that] was not called by my name."
[Isaiah 65:2 KJV] "I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts;"........The nation that was not called by his name and were a rebellious people was the nation of Israel. Those that found him were the Israel of God, the believing remnant of Israel...........[Romans 9:25 KJV] "As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved."
[Romans 9:26 KJV] "And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God."
[Romans 9:27 KJV] "Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:"..........Paul quotes from Hosea/Osee in verse 25 and just as in Deuteronomy 32:21 (at the top of the page) says, Israel was not a people, not "my people", but will be called the "sons of the living God"/"the children of the living God". As can be seen in Romans 9:27, Paul is saying that Esaias/Isiah say that out of the nation Israel, a remnant will be saved. Both Deuteronomy and Hosea and Paul are talking about "my people" as being the believing remnant of Israel, which is the foolish nation. This isn't about Gentiles or Gentile nations.

Study to Shew Thyself Approved Unto God. . . / KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS

« Last post by doug on March 02, 2026, 12:52:23 pm »

[John 14:15 KJV] "If ye love me, keep my commandments.".............This verse commands Israel to obey the commandments Jesus gave them while on earth. If you think this applies to you then what that entails needs examination.

[John 13:1 KJV] "Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end."
[John 13:4 KJV] "He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.".................To evaluate Jesus saying "If ye love me, keep my commandments." you have to go back to who he was talking to. He was talking to the twelve disciples at the Lord's supper. If you think what he said to them is for you then let's look at what you have to obey:
1) [Mark 1:15 KJV] "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."..............you must believe the gospel. The gospel he preached was that the kingdom was at hand and Israel had to repent, believe the gospel, be water baptized and keep the law. You can't believe that gospel, nor is being preached, because the kingdom is no longer at hand at this time.
2) [Matthew 10:32 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."
[Matthew 10:33 KJV] "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."................You must confess him publicly or be denied before the Father. This was spoken to Israel during Christ's earthly ministry and primarily was speaking of Jews who confessed him were put out of the synagogue..........[John 12:42 KJV] "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue".
3) [Matthew 9:9 KJV] "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him." .................You must follow Jesus by physically doing so, which you can't, because this was for Israel to obey during his earthly ministry.
4) [Matthew 5:19 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."...............Jesus commanded to keep all the law. You must keep all the law, which you can't because there is no temple sacrifices at this time.
5) [Matthew 5:20 KJV] "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."..................The scribes and Pharisees kept the law, so to exceed their righteousness you must keep the law perfectly. Also, Jesus was saying that this was to enter the kingdom, which you can't obey because the kingdom isn't being offered at this time.
6) Luke 13:24 KJV] "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able [...............Jin order to obey this command you must enter the strait gate. By this gate Israel would enter into their kingdom on earth. Jesus wasn't speaking of entering eternal life through him, he was speaking pf being able to enter into the millennial kingdom on earth (the kingdom was in view as can be seen in a following verse; [Luke 13:29 KJV] "And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.").
7) Last of all look at this verse................[1 John 3:22 KJV] "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.".............This verse was for Israel, who were the ones to keep his commandments. Thinking you can, and do all of his commandments, will lead to disappointment and loss of faith when you find you aren't getting all you ask.

Jesus cane to Israel in the flesh.........[John 1:14 KJV] "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."...........If we say we must keep all the commandments Jesus gave to Israel on earth, then we are only knowing Christ by the flesh. We are not to follow Christ in his flesh as found in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and say we must keep his commandments...........[2 Corinthians 5:16 KJV] "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more."
We are to keep his commandments, the commandments given us by Christ Jesus through Paul's epistles...............[1 Corinthians 7:19 KJV] "Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God."
