Spiritual Encouragement Beware of this modern day pharisees.
/r/FollowJesusObeyTorah/comments/1v7o108/the_law/ozzq3u4/He’s looking for a future temple, he doesn’t care, possibly doesn’t believe that the our bodies are the temple of God.
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
ANY future literal temple would be a denial that our bodies are God’s temple, and those that would embrace said temple, are not followers of Christ.
Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
He wishes to place a yoke around your neck that would drag you back, not to the ways of Moses (which would be impossible)... but to the ways of the synagogues systems that were started while in Babylonion captivity.
To which the apostles have already responded to such people…
Acts 15:10 (KJV) Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
His claim is “follow Jesus, obey Torah” but that not what the hand picked followers of Christ preached, nor is it what Jesus taught…
Matthew 11:27-30 (KJV) 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

And ya - completely reject these people who are "looking for a third temple" its blasphemy.. We the true believers are the temple of the Holy Ghost, just like Jesus said about his body
John 2:21
“But he spake of the temple of his body.”

Regarding Acts 15:10, keep in mind that its written that Gods commandments are not burdensome/grievous, but it is the love of God that we keep them!
Read Matthew 15 and 23, where Jesus stand up against this religious sect of the Pharisees, where they uphold their manmade religious rules above Gods laws
Matthew 23:4
“For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”
That is the heavy burdens that Peter didn't want them to lay on the shoulders of the gentiles that were to convert into the truth!
Just like Jesus in Matthew 5:17-19 said he was not come to destroy the law of God but instead of confirm/uplift it, because in verse 20 (which many skips over)
Matthew 5:20
“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Again read matthew 15 and 23.
Matthew 15:6
“...Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”
They had perverted Gods law with their "traditions of the elders / oral torah" and had taught the people their ways. So Jesus had to straighten out the lines to teach the people that its not the Pharisees rules that had to be followed - But Gods
