The apostle Paul worshipers and those who reject parts of scripture

It is sad what I see happening today where people reject parts of scripture believing it does not apply to them.  You have several groups that do this and each of those groups reject different parts of scripture based on their ignorance or being fed the "party line" by various denominations.

Previously I wrote about those who reject the apostle Paul calling him a false apostle because, on the surface, it seems that he contradicted scripture.  I showed this is not the case and to reject Paul, you call into question the entire new testament especially Luke and Peter who affirm Paul in Acts and the books of Peter (1 Peter and 2 Peter) respectively.  The rejecting of Paul also leads to the distrust of Yahweh who would have allowed deception into His scripture.  I accept Paul as an apostle although lie Peter says, I see how his words can be - and have been by most "christians" - twisted to mean something opposite of what he said.  I'll get into this more.

2 Peter 3
14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

In previous posts, I showed how "christians" twist the words of Paul so they can justify their wickedness and falling from their stedfastedness.  Strongs define wickedness as being lawless.  This is a warning to make sure you understand what Paul actually meant in his writings.

There are those who reject anything in the new testament that Yeshua did not say.  These people are called "red letter christians" because in the King James bible, Yeshua's words are in red.  These people accept Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, parts of Acts, and parts of Revelation and reject the rest of the new testament.   Again - those who hold to this belief are rejecting the fact that Yahweh can protect His word.  They are also stating they can believe some of what was written but not everything written by the same author (such as the book of Luke and the other book Luke wrote Acts)

First I need to reiterate what salvation is.  Salvation is the acceptance of Yeshua's atonement for sin by His dying on the cross and rising again three days later to prove He was the unblemished Passover Lamb (meaning He led a sin free life)  We prove that we are His by obeying Him as our Lord and recognizing He is the Savior for what He finished on the cross: the atonement for sin that was only covered by animal sacrifce until He offered Himself as the final atonement for sin as foretold by the prophets in the old testament.

Even when Yeshua walked on the earth 2,000 years ago, most followed Him for what He offered them: Bread, fish, and healings.  Most "christians" today want the benefits of following Him : the escape from hell - but they do not want to follow Him as Lord of their life.

If you worship Messiah Yeshua as Lord then why do you not do what He says?  His sheep know His voice and obey Him yet the apostle Paul worshipers claim "that is for the Jews" and I was even told "Matthew was not written for the gentiles but is for the Jews" when I brought up what Messiah Yeshua - the one they claim to worship - said.

John 10
1  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2  But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

John 10:9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

John 10:16  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Some of these apostle Paul worshipers go as far as to say the doctrine for Christians is ONLY in Romans through Philemon - WOW - This leaves out the four gospels and everything NOT written by Paul (I guess Kenny Jacobs - a Paul worshiper - doesn't think that Paul wrote Hebrews) including the book of Revelation where Messiah Yeshua wrote to the seven churches.

I have previously showed that the Bereans accepted what Paul taught after they compared his teachings with scripture and showed by historical facts that the only scripture that they had was the old testament since the new testament had not been written yet and the new testament was not codified until at least two hundred years later.  Even if they had had Paul's writings and they were considered scripture, they would never use Paul's writings to prove what Paul said just as they would not use anyone's writings as proving someone to be true.  Of course since Kenny Jacobs does not accept the book of Acts, he tosses out the passages where Paul teaches the Jews and gentiles in the Synagogues.  Kenny also throws out the book of 1 John that defines sin as violation of the law, and even rejects Matthew where Messiah Yeshua - the Messiah he claims he worships - states He will reject those who do not obey.  Kenny claims "that is for the Jews" but the Jewish believers obey Torah due to their upbringing before their acceptance of Yeshua as their Messiah -it is the gentiles who "grew up Christian" that rejects the need to obey Yeshua's voice and follow Him as their LORD.  

 1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.^G458

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

The apostle Paul showed this in his writings in Romans - the native branches are in the olive trees which are the Jewish people who know about Torah and obeying Yahweh.  The wild olive branches - the gentiles - are grafted into Yeshua among the native branches.  Both partake of the Root and produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit - the olive oil which is used to represent the Holy Spirit.  Those cut off after partaking of the Root are no longer producing the Fruit of the Spirit - or the olive oil (I've shown how this relates to the parable of the ten virgins before)  Notice that the apostle Paul says if you do not continue in Yahweh's goodness, the wild branches can be cut out of the tree.

Romans 11
16  For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17  And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18  Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19  Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20  Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21  For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23  And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26  And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

I'm not sure how anyone can be a Christian if they claim the apostle Paul's words supercede what the rest of scripture - including what Messiah Yeshua said in His own words - clealy says.  If anything Paul said contradicts scripture, then he is false.  No scripture contradicts any other part of scripture otherwise you are calling all into question if it being true.  The apostle Paul speaks against those who follow him or even those who follow Messiah - that rejects the rest of scripture.  I believe the following is reference to the Paul worshipers, the "red letter only christians", and to those who reject Paul. 

1 Corinthians 1
12  Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13  Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
14  I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15  Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
16  And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

The writings of Paul are for us today but we need to accept them as He meant them - which means to look at them in the context they were written otherwise they lose their meaning.

I will briefly go over two commonly twisted scriptures (yet again) to show how the context defines the meaning.  I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand since they are very clear to those who want to know the truth.

Romans 14
5  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6  He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Romans 14:5 is often twisted to "prove" Paul was teaching the Sabbath day can be any day you choose.  I used numerous verses in Acts to disprove this and showed that Paul went to the Synagogues on the Sabbath.  Those like Kenny Jacobs hate the Sabbath so they reject the book of Acts.  The above verses are about the sects of Jews in the first century who taught that a different day was to be the day you fasted and prayed.  Verse 6 makes this clear.  This can be used to show you can worship any day you choose - whether saturday or sunday --- or even monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc.  It still has nothing to do with the Sabbath and observing the Sabbath.  The rebellious and stiff necked love using this verse to justify not observing the Sabbath even though it has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Another verse that is often twisted by Paul worshiping Yahweh rejecting rebels is the one sent to Collose. 

Colossians 2
16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The context of the letter is that it was sent to new believers in the pagan city. These new believers had one participated in the pagan feasts and festivals that their friends and family celebrated.  If they had been told by Paul they could continue their pagan feasts and observe whichever day they wanted, the above verses would not have been needed.  What the apostle Paul was telling them was to not let their pagan friends and family judge them because they were now following Yahweh and the days He said to observe.  There can be no other meaning to this when the context of the letter is looked at.  The pagans celebrated full moons - Yahweh's instruction was to observe the new moon.  The pagans did not celebrate the Sabbath so this instruction would not have been needed if they were to continue not observing it.  The next verse clearly shows that Paul was instructing them in Yahweh's commands because the pagan feasts, moons, meats. etc. was not a shadow of things to come in the future but Yahweh's instructions are that shadow of things to come.  To twist this to show it is about something besides Yahweh's instructions is rebellion.

In a few verses earlier, Paul spoke against those who use philosophy and deceit to follow the world and traditions instead of Messiah Yeshua.

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Romans 7:7  What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Romans 7:12  Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Romans 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

When the apostle Paul was on his journeys teaching and writing, the ONLY scripture that existed was the old testament and he wrote that ALL scripture was for doctrine which means OLD TESTAMENT and was not claiming his writings were the only doctrine one needed to obey.  The apostle Paul is showing that those who follow his writings and reject the old testament (which was the only scripture that existed when he wrote this) are liars seducers who are growing worse and deceiving others as well as being deceived themselves.

2 Timothy 3
13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

I do not know what else to say about this.  I thought I had covered it thoroughly and documented in scripture and historical fact but it seems people love being deceived and love their rebellion..  Yeshua is the Messiah and if anyone contradicts what He says they are either wrong or they are being misinterpreted.  People that claim the words of Paul are "for the Christians" and what Messiah Yeshua said is "for the Jews and not for Christians" those people are deceived and are deceiving others and they have made Paul into their "god".

This is what Yeshua says to us.  Are you listening to Him or to someone else?

Luke 6
46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

Rebellious "christians" stone those who warn them

You can always tell when a self-professed "christian" is following a false "god" and is on the broad road to hell.  They always claim Yahweh told them to "not let  judgmental people  use scripture to show them that they are disobedient and rebellious".  Their false "god"  tells them people who warn them about their disobedience are "bashing people over the head with scripture".    Seriously???     This is exactly what Ancient Israel said when Yahweh's prophets told them to stop their rebellion. 

Yahweh Tells His servants to warn those who claim to be His of their rebellion and disobedience yet you have millions of professing "christians"  justifying their rebellion and claiming those who show them using scripture that they are in rebellion are the ones that Yahweh is unhappy with.  The rebellious children of satan claim using scripture to show them the error of their ways is "bashing them over the head with scripture" but if you tell them they are rebellious without using scripture they always say "where is that in scripture?"  satan has these people so deceived yet they believe they are the ones who are following truth.  So many "christians" are on the broad road to hell and they do not want to be told otherwise even to their own peril.  They are deceived listening to satan's lies and refuse to be warned - just like the rebellious in Ancient Israel.

Isaiah 30
9  That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

2 Timothy 4
3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

 If scripture shows them they are in rebellion, then showing them the error of their way is trying to save them from hellfire yet they claim it is "unloving" yet we are told by the apostle Paul to separate from the false brethren:

1 Corinthians 5
9  I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10  Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13  But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

2 Timothy 3
16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Many "christians" believe they are following Messiah Yeshua and are being obedient to Yahweh.  They see nothing wrong with their pagan traditions they claim they are using to worship Yahweh and they see nothing wrong with their pagan feast days.  Messiah Yeshua called out the pharisees that were transgressing Yahweh's laws with their traditions and said people are worshiping in vain because of their man made doctrines.  These were pharisees that thought they were being obedient and doing what Yahweh wanted them to do.

Matthew 15
3  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
...
8  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

The apostle Paul was a pharisee who learned at the feet of one of the most important teachers in judaism and he thought he was following Yahweh because of his zealousness of the traditions (the traditions Messiah Yeshua spoke against in the above verses)

Galatians 1
13  For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14  And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16  To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Even with these scriptures, many rebellious "christians" hold to their "church traditions" and ignore Messiah Yeshua's own words that condemn those traditions.  Most "christians" have made a "god" of their own imagination and are not at all following Messiah Yeshua.

Jeremiah 9
13  And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14  But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
15  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16  I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

The words of Messiah Yeshua Himself gives a strong warning to those who claim to be His but are rebelling against Yahweh and His rules for living (IE: the "law" / Torah)

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity^G458

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

Regardless of what anyone else believes or does, I will continue to follow Messiah Yeshua / obey Yahweh.  Messiah said people will hate and lie about those that belong to Him because they hate Him - this includes the wolves / goats / tares that claim to be christian.

Matthew 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 

Acts 20
29  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 

Matthew 25
32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 


Matthew 13:30  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 

Luke 6:22  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 

John 15
18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 

The apostle Paul: Zealous for the law, but not traditions

Many "christians" use the book of Galatians to try and prove the apostle Paul was speaking against Yahweh's instructions and try and make a case that we are no longer to follow the Torah (or Law - better translated as instructions)  They use verses such as Galatians 1:13-16 to claim Paul was speaking against Yahweh's instructions - His Torah.

Galatians 1
13  For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14  And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16  To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Paul was speaking against the TRADITIONS, not the law just like "christians" celebrate christmas and easter and claim it is "worship of God" or "celebrating Jesus' birthday and resurrection".  The holidays of christmas and easter have NOTHING to do with True Christianity just like the traditions Paul was keeping had NOTHING to do with worship of Yahweh or following Messiah Yeshua.  Notice Paul did NOT say that he was following Torah and  that was wrong - he said he was in the JEWS RELIGION and following TRADITION.  Torah is not tradition, it is Yahweh's instruction and is, like Yahweh, the 'same yesterday, today, and forever'.

Messiah Yeshua also spoke against TRADITION of the rabbis.  Since Yeshua NEVER sinned and sin is violation of Torah, He never spoke against the Torah but spoke against the traditions that the rabbis had added to their religion.  Yeshua said the pharisees were violating the law by their TRADITIONS.  This is the very same thing that "christians" are doing when they celebrate pagan holidays that are actually worshiping other [false] "gods" and when "christians" claim that "sunday is the christian Sabbath" where there is no such thing in scripture.

Matthew15:3  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Many "christians" believe that "sunday is the christian sabbath" simply because the catholic church told them it was.  They use the reasoning that Paul spoke until midnight sunday and they congregation had a church service all day long because of this verse:

Acts 20:7  And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1)  The day starts at sundown so this was saturday night after the TRUE Sabbath ended
2) Until 135 AD (because of the bar Kokhba revolt) the believing Jews and gentiles met with the unbelieving Jews in the synagogues to worship Yahweh and learn Torah

Acts 13
13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Acts 15
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

3) sunday morning worship did not start until centuries later
4) the work week was six days with Sabbath being the only day off.  The work week and school week today in Israel is 5-1/2 days long (they end the day early on friday to prepare for Shabbat - the Sabbath)
5) After the Sabbath, the disciples met to have a meal to fellowship after having learned Torah in the synogogue in the morning and learning about Yeshua after the synagogue service ended.

When the apostle Paul taught in Berea, it was before he wrote any of the letters which became part of the new testament.  The only scripture Paul's teachings were compared with was the Torah, the prophets,  and the rest of the writings of the old testament,

Acts 17
10  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12  Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

Yeshua never broke Torah (which is what sin is) otherwise He would not have been qualified to be Messiah.  The apostle Paul never taught against Torah otherwise he would not have been a true apostle and the Bereans would have rejected him.

When Paul returned to Jerusalem, James told him there was a controversy in that the believing Jews who were ZEALOUS FOR THE LAW believed Paul had been speaking against the law.  James said he knew that Paul had not violated the law and asked him to show the believers in Jerusalem that he was still keeping the law.  NOTE:  it was IMPORTANT to James that Paul show that he was not a law breaker.  Obviously James was teaching the believers in Jerusalem that they were to obey the law!  Also note, this included sacrifices - obviously not sin sacrifices but those of purification and other vows (such as the Nazarite vow)

Acts 21
18  And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19  And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20  And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21  And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22  What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23  Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24  Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25  As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26  Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

People love to twist Paul because, like Peter said, he is hard to understand.  Peter said those who twist the words of Paul fall from the error of the lawless.  

2 Peter 3
14  Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.
15  And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
16  as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
17  You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.

If anything Paul said contradicted Messiah Yeshua, then Paul would be false so if a person  believes Paul said we no longer had to obey the Torah (the law) and Messiah Yeshua said we do - then that person is claiming Paul's words have a higher authority than the Messiah they claim to follow and are claiming Yeshua is not their Messiah but Paul is since that is the voice they are listening to.  The apostle Paul is a true apostle and most people do not understand him.  Most of "christianity" has made the Paul of their own imagination and is the "messiah" they are following.  Many of the  christians who now claim to follow Torah also do not understand Paul so they claim he is a false apostle.  This false assumption of Paul places 90% of the new testament into question which discredits the entire new testament cannon of scripture.

Those who claim to follow Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) need to obey what He said and follow HIM.  If something in the bible seems to contradict Torah which Yeshua never violated or spoke against (if He had spoken against it, it would have been rebellion against Yahweh) then the troublesome passage needs to be studied to see the true meaning of it.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ^G458
