Jesus Practiced What He Preached: The New Covenant Law of Messiah($6.00Value)

Description

For generations, Christians have believed that Jesus perfectly kept the Law of Moses. He then died so we don't have to keep the Law, they say. Yet most Christians would agree that Jesus preached the new covenant. If that is the case, then did Jesus really practice what he preached? This book sets out to explore long-held beliefs with a closer look at the Gospels, the only firsthand witness to the ministry of Jesus. The author urges you to reconsider the spirit-filled words and actions of Jesus. He both taught and lived his own New Covenant Law, which stands in sharp contrast to the Old Covenant Law of Moses. Carlos Xavier is a Christian pastor and debater from a non-Trinitarian perspective. He grew up agnostic before converting to a Christian unitarian viewpoint in 2006. He is currently the online media manager for Restoration Fellowship. Online Carlos has hosted evangelical authors John Goldingay, Larry Hurtado, Ben Witherington III, and Jewish historian Richard Rubenstein. Carlos is married to Sarah and lives in Fayetteville, Georgia. From the Foreword: A systematic confusion plagues Bible study of Jesus and his teachings. It is widely, though erroneously, believed that Jesus must have practiced and kept the Law of Moses perfectly, while somehow at the same time teaching the new covenant! Such a theory calls into question Jesus’ honesty and integrity. In this book Carlos shines a much-needed light on this irrational but commonly accepted position that Jesus taught one thing while following/living another. Please be challenged by the insight that Jesus’ preaching and practice were most definitely in sync. The actual facts are that Jesus was deliberately and consciously a minister and exponent of the new covenant, thus providing a perfect model — in words and deeds — for all those claiming to follow him.
