Do the Seven go to Heaven? An Investigation into the History of the Noachide Laws by Tim Hegg

 

It's common for some Jews to teach that salvation is available for non-Jews who observe an alleged list of laws given to Noah and thus to all non-Jews. The following excellent article explores the concept of the Noachide Laws. Whether they originate with Noah or are a later novelty. The article successfully demonstrates it's the latter.

A Quick Response to the Claim that the Major Teachings of Christianity Are NOT Found in the Old Testament

 

In a Facebook group someone posted the following video, and I responded to it. Both are reproduced below:

The Major Teachings of Christianity Are NOT Found in the Old Testament – Rabbi Michael Skobac
https://youtu.be/pvKPhZMPPk8

Here was my quick response.

I'm a gentile Christian and watched the video. I don't have time for a full refutation or debate, but here's a quick rebuttal.

Regarding the Trinity, the Tanakh does teach the doctrine of the Trinity. Most Christians think it does so only implicitly. Some, like Anthony Rogers, think it teaches it explicitly. I recommend Anthony Rogers' youtube videos and articles online which show how the Trinity is in the Tanakh/Old Testament. I'll link to them in another comment below.

Regarding the Torah, Jesus said in Matt. 5:17ff. that He didn't come to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them. The moral precepts and general equity of the Torah [indeed also of the Nevi'im and Kethuvim] are still binding. For example, the prohibition against idolatry, murder, theft, perjury in bearing false witness etc. But the ceremonial aspects of the law including sacrifices and the food laws have been fulfilled in Moshiach/Christ so that they don't have to be observed anymore. Animal blood sacrifices [and other bloodless sacrifices like grain offerings etc.] are no longer necessary because of Yeshua's/Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is sufficient for the forgiveness of sins through faith and repentance. The laws regarding ritual purity served their purpose to distinguish the people of God from the unclean gentiles. They were an object lesson to the people of God to remain holy. But now that the Kingdom of God is extended to the gentiles, these ceremonial aspects no longer apply. For example, the distinction between clean and unclean meats was meant to distinguish Jewish members in God's holy covenant community from unholy gentiles outside the covenant. Now that the covenant is for nations, these ceremonial aspects are no longer required. It is not wrong to still observe them, but they are no longer required of either Jews or Gentiles. Though, requiring their observance for acceptance before God is wrong.

Regarding the idea that the church replaces Israel, that's a misunderstanding of the New Testament on the part of many Christians. It's not that the Church replaces Israel, rather the Church is the further application and expansion of the concept already found in the Tanakh. In the later writings of the prophets there developed the concept of the distinction between Israel as a whole and Remnant Israel who comprised the faithful members of Israel. A subset within Israel. The Church is meant to be the visible separation of faithful Israel from unfaithful Israel. If Yeshua is the Messiah, then to deny His Messiahship is to separate oneself from Remnant Israel.

Regarding faith in Jesus for salvation, Christianity rightly understood affirms the need for repentance from sins and a striving for holiness. It merely grounds forgiveness of sins in the atonement God the Father provided in the sacrifice of Jesus rather than the blood sacrifices commanded in the Torah. The sacrifices described in the whole Tanakh tell us that forgiveness requires blood atonement. Blood sacrifices have never been abrogated. Jesus is the fulfillment of those sacrifices. If the Trinity is true as Trinitarians like Anthony Rogers say, then Jesus is Adonai along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. In which case, believing in Jesus not trusting in a merely human messiah, but trusting in Adonai who has taken the form of humanity by incarnation. This is anticipated and foreshadowed by the many times Hashem manifested in physical form. For example when He was "walking in the cool of the day" in Gen. 3:8. When Adonai and two angels appeared in human form to Abraham in Gen. chapters 18-19. Adonai actually ate the food presented to him by Sarah and Abraham. When Moses and the Elders beheld the God of Israel in a human form [which included hands] in Exodus 24:10-11. When the Angel of YHWH and the Word of YHWH [who was the pre-incarnate Jesus] appeared in the Tanakh and is sometimes referred to and identified as YHWH [often later dropping the descriptive phrase "Angel of" and "Word of" and calling the figure YHWH simplicitur]. For example, in 1 Sam. 3; Zech. 3; Judges 6; Gen. 16; Exo. 3.

Where In the Old Testament Is Human Blood Taught to be Acceptable for Atonement?

 

On Facebook I encountered an atheist who said he was familiar with the disputes between non-Messianic Jews and believers in Jesus [i.e. Gentile Christians and Messianic Jews]. He thought the Jewish arguments against Christianity are better than the arguments for Christianity. At one point he asked the following.

 //can you point to one verse that God allows human blood for atonement?//

The following was my answer:

1. Jesus isn't a MERE human. Yes, Jesus was truly human, but He was (and is) also truly God. While only the human nature of Jesus died [NOT the Divine nature], the divine PERSON endured the sufferings of death and died substitutionarily for sinners on their behalf. As a Protestant I hold to penal substitutionary atonement [though, that's consistent with being coupled with other subsidiary theories of the atonement]. Being Divine, Jesus' sufferings and death are of more  value [infinite] than that of finite creatures and therefore could atone for an infinite amount of creatures if necessary.

2. This is also why it's natural to think that the animal sacrifices weren't the ultimate solution for atonement. How could inferior animals atone for superior humans who ARE moral agents? Whereas animals are not moral agents, and don't even rise to the level of human sentience. To use a poor analogy, that's like accidentally destroying a gold wedding ring and offering to make up for it with a beer can ring tab. The OT predicted the coming of the Messiah, and it makes sense for much of the Mosaic Covenant and its laws to be figurative or symbolic or emblematic of the future Messiah's work.

3a. When God was angry with the people of Israel, Moses offered himself to be punished in their place. So the concept of human substitution wasn't completely foreign to a Semitic mindset.

Exo. 32:32 Yet now, if You will forgive their sin --- BUT IF NOT, I pray, BLOT ME OUT OF YOUR BOOK WHICH YOU HAVE WRITTEN."

3b. Even Judah offered himself in the place of Benjamin when there was the threat to arrest Benjamin for allegedly stealing the silver cup. Unbeknownst to them it was their brother Joseph who was testing them. It's interesting that it's JUDAH that offers this exchange/substitution. The Davidic line is from the tribe of Judah. For us Christians, this is a foreshadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus who is the heir to the Davidic throne.

4. We Christians believe Isaiah 53 clearly teaches the death of the Messiah as an atonement for sin. I understand that Non-Messianic Jews reject this. I've heard their arguments. I think the Christian arguments are better. See Michael Brown's responses, for an example.

5. Daniel 9:24-26 is another passage Christians believe predicts the atoning death of the Messiah. Of course, Jews reject this interpretation, and atheists think that the book of Daniel is riddled with false and failed prophecies. Atheists believe that the ones that were fulfilled were postdictions and that the book itself was written much later than is claimed [e.g. cf. the recent debate at Modern-Day Debate between 2 atheists and 2 theists].

6. In Numbers 25 when the Israelites committed harlotry and idolatry, God commanded the rebellious leaders of the people [who were HUMAN like Jesus] to be executed in order to turn away the anger of the LORD as a kind of atonement. Jesus is the Federal Head of His people similar to how these leaders were representatives of the people. Similar to how they were punished to save the people under them, so Jesus was punished in the place of His people [BTW, as a Calvinist my default position is Limited Atonement, but I'm open to other views as well].

 Num. 25:

1 Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab.

2 They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel.

4 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take all the LEADERS of the people and HANG THE OFFENDERS before the LORD, out in the sun, THAT the FIERCE ANGER of the LORD may TURN AWAY from Israel." 

That doesn't just sound like mere expiation [removal of sin or guilt], but surprisingly even the stronger idea of propitiation [i.e. turning away wrath].

7. We Christians believe that the command by God for Abraham to sacrifice of Isaac was emblematic of God's sacrificing His Son in our place. Right before Abraham was going to carry it out the Angel of the LORD [whom many  Christians think is the pre-incarnate Jesus] told Abraham to stop and not harm Isaac. Then a ram was found nearby which was evidently provided for by God to be the substitute for Isaac. God had many reasons for commanding the sacrifice of Abraham. Some include 

1. To show that Abraham's commitment to his God was no less than other pagans' devotion to their gods. 

2. To indicate for all time afterwards that God rejects human sacrifice [we can discuss Jephthah if you like]. 

3. As a figure of Christ' sacrifice, the unique Son of God, just as Isaac was the unique son of Abraham.

Notice the prophecy in Gen. 22:14

Gen. 22:14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

That's the same area in which Jesus was crucified. For the Christian, the crucifixion of Jesus was the place and time when that prophecy was fulfilled and provision of final atonement was provided.

---

Some after thoughts:

Regarding #2, I found this quote from chapter 5 of A.W. Pink's Divine Covenants:

It is true that great relief was provided by the ceremonial law, for provision was there made for obtaining forgiveness. The means for effecting this was the sacrifices— "the life—blood of an irrational creature, itself unconscious of sin, being accepted by God in His character of Redeemer for the life of the sinner. A mode of satisfaction no doubt in itself unsatisfactory, since there was no just correspondence between the merely sensuous life of an unthinking animal and the higher life of a rational and responsible being; in the strict reckoning of justice the one could form no adequate compensation for the other. But in this respect it was not singular; it was part of a scheme of things which bore throughout the marks of relative imperfection" (P. Fairbairn).

The Evolution of Adam: Additional Thoughts by Michael Heiser

Here's a link to Michael Heiser's article: The Evolution of Adam: Additional Thoughts

Heiser is an Evangelical scholar who holds some views, or allows for possibilities, that are controversial in Evangelical circles. I'm no longer dogmatic on issues of Human Origins. Often for many of the same reasons William Lane Craig has given in his lecture series on Creation and Evolution. For the longest time my views were mostly in keeping with the RTB Model. It is still my default position. However, for years I've thought about the possibility of Pre-Adamites and/or Co-Adamites in conjunction with some form of evolution. In the following video, Heiser provides some Biblical passages that may support (or allow for the possibility of) the existence of non-Adamite humans.
