World's Last Chance

At the heart of WLC is the true God and his Son, the true Christ — for we believe eternal life is not just our goal, but our everything.

While WLC continues to uphold the observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath, which is at the heart of Yahuwah's moral law, the 10 Commandments, we no longer believe that the annual feast days are binding upon believers today. Still, though, we humbly encourage all to set time aside to commemorate the yearly feasts with solemnity and joy, and to learn from Yahuwah's instructions concerning their observance under the Old Covenant. Doing so will surely be a blessing to you and your home, as you study the wonderful types and shadows that point to the exaltation of Messiah Yahushua as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, and the Lamb of Yahuwah that takes away the sins of the world.

Acts 21:26 – After Yahushua’s sacrifice, why did Paul circumcise Timothy and make a vow which included sacrifices?

Question: After Yahushua's ultimate sacrifice, why did Paul circumcise Timothy in Acts 16 and also make a vow which included sacrifices in Acts 21:26?

Answer: Paul knew that there was no power or consequence in these Jewish practices, so he did such things just to avoid controversy with the Jews.

Peter said of Paul:

"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." (2 Peter 3:16)

Paul said of himself:

"To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." (1 Cor. 9:22)

"Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved." (1 Cor. 10:33)

He also admonished:

"If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." (Romans 12:18)

"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see Yahushua." (Hebrews 12:14)

See also his similar reasoning concerning meats offered to idols in 1 Cor. 8.  (Read the whole chapter.)

"But meat commendeth us not to Yahuwah: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse." (1 Cor. 8:8)
