42. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 42 W hat is Torah?

43. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 43 Torah tr;AtB. The word Torah means to shoot an arrow or to hit the mark. My Position: Torah can be understood as the Operating Manual for Planet Earth.

44. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 44 Torah tr;AtB. General Sense: Instruction about how to live rightly before God and with mankind. Concerning our observance of the Torah, we believe it is a reflection of His Divine Nature resident within us.

45. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 45 Torah tr;AtB. We dont observe it because it is the correct thing to do (although it is). We observe it because it is now in our changed nature to do so, just as the prophets predicted; Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 11 and 36. Highlights of Psalms 19:7-12

46. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 46 Psalm 19:7-12 The instructions of our Heavenly Father are complete, no missing parts and provide whats needed to return a soul who has gone astray. The witness of Yahweh is faithful and enduring, making wise the simple.

76. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 76 The Jewish Bishops The first fifteen bishops of Jerusalem were all circumcised Jews; and the congregation over which they presided united the law of Moses with the doctrine of Christ. It was natural that the primitive tradition of a church which was founded only forty days after the death of Christ, and was governed almost as many years under the immediate inspection of his apostle, should be received as the standard of orthodoxy.

77. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 77 The Jewish Bishops It has been remarked that the virgin purity of the church was never violated by schism or heresy before the reign of Trajan or Hadrian, about one hundred years after the death of Christ. Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume I, Chapter XV, Section I. ca. 1776-1788 Gibbon E.

78. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 78 The Jewish Bishops The Jewish Christians, at least in Palestine, conformed as closely as possible to the venerable forms of the cultus of their fathers, which in truth were divinely ordained, and were an expressive type of the Christian worship.

82. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 82 The Gentile Bishops At his persuasion the most considerable part of the congregation renounced the Mosaic law, in the practice of which they had persevered above a century. By this sacrifice of their habits and prejudices they purchased a free admission into the colony of Hadrian.

85. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 85 The Gentile Bishops But I have learned this much from writings, that until the siege of the Jews, which took place under Adrian, there were fifteen bishops in succession there, all of whom are said to have been of Hebrew descent.

86. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 86 The Gentile Bishops They received the knowledge of Christ in purity, so that they were approved by those who were able to judge of such matters, and were deemed worthy of the episcopate.

88. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 88 Polycarp and Paul Polycarp wrote an epistle to the Philippians where he spoke in the most glowing and excellent terms concerning Paul.

89. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 89 Polycarp vs Anicetus 150 c.e. And when the blessed Polycarp was at Rome in the time of Anicetus [approx. 150+], and they disagreed a little about certain other things [besides when to observe Passover], they immediately made peace with one another, not caring to quarrel over this matter.

90. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 90 Polycarp vs Anicetus 150 c.e. For Anicetus could not persuade Polycarp to stop observing what he had always observed with John the disciple of our Lord, and the other apostles with whom he had associated;

91. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 91 Polycarp vs Anicetus 150 c.e. And Polycarp couldnt persuade Anicetus to observe it as he (Anicetus) said that he ought to follow the customs of the presbyters that had preceded him [no matter what the Apostles taught and handed down].

92. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 92 Can we date this? Epiphanius -... the controversy arose after the exodus of the bishops of the circumcision (135) and it has continued until our time (315 - 403).

93. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 93 Epiphanius He then makes reference to the 15 bishops. They kept the 14 th day of the first month as also found in the Apostolic Constitutions.

94. May 7, 2011 http://hodf.org 94 Epiphanius He then quotes the following rule found in the A.C. You [Gentile Christians] ought to celebrate Passover at the same time as your brethren who from the circumcision have entered the church.
