If you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.

because the flesh cannot fulfill the law.

Sages and Deut. teach about false messiah.

they teach that any prophet that doesn't teach Torah - or leads the people away from them - is a false prophet.

Messiah must uphold and teach teh Torah.

Love God . . .

is a summary of Torah, not a replacement.

Holy spirt vs. the law

the holy spirit transforms our will to conform to the will of God. The law shows us WHAT the will of God looks like. It draws a picture of what holy living looks like - something we can never attain because of our fleshly nature. However, a new heart can (and desires to) do so . . .because it is HIS nature, not man's nature.
Wow.

Moses and the seventy elders eat with God IN HEAVEN

WHAT? They actually went up and ate with God in heaven - and it describes what they saw even. This is crazy! When did God put this story in the Bible?

Angel Leading the Israelites out of Egypt.

I guess I've read this a million times (well, at least every year when we study passover) and I never realized hat there was a literal angel leading them out of Egypt. Could they see it? What did it look like? Was it appointed to that job? What did it do later? Or before that? I've heard that there are angels appointed to the nations . . . .what's he been doing for 2000 years? I bet s/he's busy right now. . . .LOL
