Weekly Torah Portion: Ki Teitzei 

Was he in India recently

The reason I looked up sealing was because of our belief that the blood of Christ seals the Covenant between God and his people. Poured out to forgive sins but the condition for receiving it is faith in Christ (who we believe to be the Jewish Messiah), also referred to as the New Covenant in his blood as he told of before his suffering and he told that all things that the scriptures for-told of him must be to fulfilled in this way. Most Jews have a firm belief in the Abrahamic covenant by which they feel the New Covenant spoken of has not yet come into fruition by God. It’s similar to the covenant by the faith of Abraham given (by promise) through his seed, seeing that it is by faith. And that is how I compare the two. Had the Abrahamic covenant been perfect God would not have spoken of another covenant in the last days. And by the way, although it’s common for Christians to be hated by the Jews, I’m not angry (nor should I be) at the Jews or Gentiles who have a different faith than ours. God has given man a free volition to choose and believe how they feel is the correct way to believe. I have a desire to reach out to and win the Jews through whom all the patriarchs of faith, promises and the covenants have come. Christ told his Jewish disciples that he would make them fishers of men. Many were fishermen by trade and he gave them a higher calling. Most of them became martyrs for the faith in Yeshua.

This week's teaching is from Devarim/ Deuteronomy, not Exodus. BTW Exodus 24:8 reads: "And Moses took the blood, sprinkled (definitely not "threw" it!!) it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words."

Not the blood that seals, the blood of the covenant which HaShem (G-d) has sealed with you. Yes, even in the English translation there is a difference between what you have said and what is written.

@@resagelato As a sidenote, it is interesting that would say "faith in christ, who we believe is the...messiah" as christ is a title and not a surname. It is self evident and redundant to clarify. I will not address in any great detail the fact that messiah is a solely Jewish concept for which this particular man failed to meet the criteria for in even the slightest.
