Teachings    The 613 Laws         18/613 – No foreigner and no servant shall eat from it   Yaakov, Béla Orbán "This is the ordinance of the passover…:  ... A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof... " (Exodus 12 :45)  The Evening of Seder is a family feast that only the ones who suit God’s law can attend.   It is just the same for the Holy Communion – the daily possibility to remember the Last Supper This same law forces us to know who are the persons we are allowed to participate with in this Holy Communion.   The foreigner…  A daily worker who has no land.  The hired servant…   A half-time or occasional worker.   These kinds of persons still exist among Christianity today.  There are some religious persons that are doing things correctly or even in accordance with the Words and Laws of God, but just some part of their life is under the power of Yeshua HaMashiach.  They have converted, they are religious, but their lives was not entirely given to Christ and they are not born again.   The same way, there are some people who help in the work of God or even in the work of the Body of Christ, but they still belong to alien gods…  As human, as moral or as ethical a life could be, it will at most vaguely looks like God’s Laws and Will and will never allow anybody to pretend belonging to Christ.   It is then necessary today to observe this law without any modification.  Although, we should observe it while imploring and having the will of one day seeing these foreigners and servants sitting down at our table as newcomers having at last their hearths circumcised (see verse 44) and as relatives coming back and taking their legitimate places around the family table…
