JEWISH THINGS
We have been taught that we do not have to keep "Jewish" things any longer. Only the Jewish people do. Let's see what Isaiah 56:6-6 states:
"Also the sons of the foreigner that joins themselves to YHVH, to serve Him and to love the Name of YHVH, to be His servants, every person that guards the Shabbat from polluting it, and takes hold of My Covenant; even them will I bring to My kadosh mountain and make them full of joy in My House of Prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon My altar; for My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all the nations."
Notice the above verse is not talking about just the Jewish people, but the sons of the foreigner who joins themselves to YHVH. How do they do join themselves to YHVH? By serving Him and to love His Name, guarding the Shabbat to keep from polluting it or His Feast days, and takes hold of His Covenant.
What Name does He go by? God? Buddha? Krishna? Allah? No, He goes by YHVH which is His eternal Name. I do not spell it out since there were no vowels in early Hebrew and there are several ways to spell it. I just use
"yud-hey-vav-hey" for His Name.
How do you guard the Shabbat to keep from polluting it? By not working on it, buying or selling, or doing your own thing. By spending time with your family and studying His Word, resting or whatever does not involve working. Unless you have a job that is in the medical field, firemen, policemen or military. Those are jobs that are a necessity.
Stop and think about it. YHVH created the Sabbath day because mankind needs to rest. So He gave us one day out of the week to rest from work and our labor. When our bodies do not get the proper rest, it's not a good thing. We get stressed out among other things.
RSTNESB Notes:
Even non-biological Yisraelites become Yisrael when they receive salvation, guard His Shabbats and take hold of Torah and Yahushua. They will also be considered full and equal heirs in Yisrael... All nations are called to worship as one now and also in the millennial rebuilt Temple, when the Prince Messiah Yahushua, leads us in the true worship of His Father YHWH, using the true Name among all the people. The true faith must be one where all nations, colors, nationalities and races become Yisrael in accord with the "take hold" principle of His Torah.
If you say that is only one verse and you can't build a doctrine out of it. You are absolutely right, so here are a few more verses that say "Gentiles" are to keep Yah's Covenant or the Commandments in the Torah.
Numbers 15:14
And if a stranger sojourns with you or whoever is among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet fragrance to YHVH, as you do, so he shall do.
Numbers 15:15
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that sojourns with you. An ordinance forever in your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before YHVH.
What happened to the forever?
It's not that YHVH changed His mind. Seems to me that they didn't keep His Sabbaths, Feasts or Covenant.... So that is why the stranger does not keep the "Jewish THINGS!"
Numbers 15:16
One Torah and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger that sojourns with you.
You say that's all from Numbers. Let go to Exodus.
Exodus 12:49
One Torah shall be for him that is native and for the stranger that sojourns among you.
"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the Only Eloah,
be honor and glory forever and ever. Amein!"
1 Timothy 1:17
Shalom and abundant blessings,
