I am always surprised when someone says, “We don’t have to do that because those laws, they are for the Jews”. While in Christianity, I often struggled with why Jewish people were punished for not obeying the law but everyone else could be saved by the same God but be covered by grace alone.
I had always been taught the God of the bible was just, but changing the rules for non-Israelites seems extremely unjust.
Good News the Most High Yah (the true God of the Bible) is just. He does not have different laws for strangers versus Israelites. Understanding this fact will have direct impact on whether or not you can come into the Father’s kingdom.
Biblical References:
Be you an Israelite or a stranger there is one law for both is according to Exodus 12.
Exodus 12:48
48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it. 49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.”
Yah is just. He would not hold 1 group to a standard and change it up for another. Proverbs 11:1 reminds us “A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight”. Numbers 15 is a witness to this proverb.
Number 15:14-16
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
One Law… Israel… and the Kingdom
