In the end, he presents a faithful answer, providing an incomparable bottom-line truth of what is conveyed in the inspired Bible. (Written by K. Atred.)</span></p>

<li><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;">We can and should pay homage to Jesus / Yahshua as King-Messiah appointed by Yahweh over us besides worshipping God Yahweh.

<li><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">that it is disrespectful to God, and a disgrace to ourselves, when we treat Jesus, The Prophet promised in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, as an equal or inferior to Paul who in his epistles never quotes Jesus other than the liturgy taken from Luke. See article "<a href="/aboutauthor/532-the-jesus-words-only-principle-explained.html">The Jesus' Words Only Principle Explained from Numbers 12 and Deuteronomy 18</a>."

Thus, obviously a Gentile does not sever himself from God by seeking to enjoy Jewish festivals and complying with Laws otherwise applicable only to the children of Israel. The author thus participates in Passover, and urges others to do so, as was practiced by the early church up to the 300s.
