- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2024
- In part 3, we explore some deep theological themes and connect some dots between the Hebrew Bible (OT) and the New Testament as the apostle Paul gives a masterclass on biblical theology!
In this series, we’re approaching the book of Galatians with an eye for the theological themes that speak to the relationship between the Christian and the Law of Moses. Do any of the Old Testament laws apply to us? If so, in what way? What about the Ten Commandments? Has that changed under the New Covenant? What is Paul talking about in Galatians 6 when he shows us how to fulfill what he calls the “Law of Christ"?

(Gálatas 3:1-14) - En la parte 3 de nuestro estudio bíblico de apologética del libro de Gálatas, exploramos algunos temas teológicos profundos y conectamos algunos puntos entre la Biblia hebrea (AT) y el Nuevo Testamento mientras el apóstol Pablo da una clase magistral de teología bíblica!
En esta serie, nos acercamos al libro de Gálatas prestando atención a los temas teológicos que hablan de la relación entre el cristiano y la Ley de Moisés. ¿Alguna de las leyes del Antiguo Testamento se aplica a nosotros? Si es así, ¿de qué manera? ¿Qué pasa con los Diez Mandamientos? ¿Ha cambiado eso bajo el Nuevo Pacto? ¿De qué está hablando Pablo en Gálatas 6 cuando nos muestra cómo cumplir lo que él llama la “Ley de Cristo”?

I came out of Hebrew Roots some time ago. My wife still is in that way of believing in keeping the Sabbath and holy days. I made it clear to her in a kind Christian way that I am done with that. I don't get in her way of doing what she believes. When the veil was removed from my eyes it wasn't removed yet from her eyes nor from the brothers or sisters in that relationship. She just can't see it. I was in that way for many years so I can understand somewhat what has happened. I can just be an example, but I don't believe she will see it unless God takes that veil off of her eyes. I hope and pray that she will see it too. I never felt salvation in that way. I thought I was doomed because I knew I couldn't keep it. I failed at it miserably. Thank you for such a good explanation of Galatians!
What a wonderful Blessing for me to know, and to understand, that there is nothing I need to do to gain God’s forgiveness! Except to be obedient to his word.and even that is only possible by The leading and power of the Holy Spirit!
I am thankful that God knows the good the bad and the ugly of me…I can not hide from Him!
Thanks be to Him🙏 Patricia
This “journey” through Galatians has been eye opening thus far! Thank you Professor Solberg for doing this work! Very insightful and faith confirming! I’m excited to continue in this study of the book of Galatians with you and all others here! God bless! Shalom!
Fantastic work Rob. Appreciate you saying it how it is and doing something that Torahists can't do. Walk through the text and letting it speak.
Rob, I just want to say Galatians studies are really great. Thanks for your devotion to the fellowship of saints. Eric Jensen
God bless you!
You have so much joy and enthusiasm that I can really, really appreciate, and I am excited to follow along.
Thanks, Arnold! God is good. RLS
Thank you for this study Rob. God bless you brother.
Another excellent video I'm also enjoying your book also Rob
this is so good... when you are done with Galatians, can you teach about the apocrypha? I work with a Hebrew roots guy who avoids/ignores the book of Hebrews and the book of Galatians so much, and now he is quoting from books that aren't in the bible, but are allegedly historic texts. these apocrypha books are new to me, but are gaining a lot of popularity lately in secular churches.... not sure they can damage our roots like torahism?
Parable of vinyard ?
I know he came from catholicism and uses the duetrocanon and apocrypha
Some of hebrew roots see things we don't.
He has interesting notions. If that's who.
But I don't follow most of there views.
Hello Sir, are you coming to Nashville this month to do a debate? I thought I saw you scheduled for one and would like to come and listen, but I can't find any info on it.
Amen. Thank you, professor.
Very informative as always. I'm really enjoying the Book of Galatians bible study.

In Galatians 3 Paul is referring to the "Law of Moses". It was imbedded in the old covenant that God made with Israel.

Genesis 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
What law? What Statuates? The Law didn't come until moses, and Dueteronmoy ch 5: 1-3 are very explicit on this.
So if you think Abraham had torah you're wrong.
Yes, ORDWIFEY, that's a super interesting passage! I'm curious how you would reconcile Gen 26:5 with Gal 3:16-17, which says that the Law of Moses wasn't given until 430 years after Abraham. In your opinion, how can they both be true at the same time?
RLS
Deuteronomy 5: 2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 Not with our fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, who are all of us here alive today.
@@OutReach4God nice, did see your comment
It appears to me that the law was unwritten maybe in their hearts before it was written at Mount Sinai. As there are many references to the law from the beginning. For example sin started in the garden. (We know from John that sin is transgression of the law) Then Able and Cain giving their sacrifices, when Noah was instructed about the unclean animals, Joseph being tempted by the emperor's wife and refusing, Abraham when he was about to sacrifice Isaac. There are many more if we researched it. They all had some kind of knowledge of the laws before they were written.
Thanks!
Thank you, zzhooky!
Love what you're doing here. Why people don't get it is beyond me. But we love the same, Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. Amen
Thanks. Salute.
Amen.
Rob. Please publicly answer these 2 questions:
We're you born under the law of Moses?
Did Christ redeem you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3?
Hey Solberg...did Christ redeem you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3?
I was reading Mark 10 this morning from verse 1 till 11. Here it seems Jesus overrides the Torah and the law of Moses to point to a law that is much greater. The law of God. In fact it contradicts or seems to, the law of moses. Are you able to give commentary on the passage. I find it very interesting.
Hi Rob,
I appreciate your gentle approach to the study of Galatians mate. The study is easier to chew on and absorb because of your softly spoken commentary.
Question ⁉️
Would you say that new covenant "obedience" as apposed to old covenant law keeping "obedience" is "faith" living by, in and through the finished work of Jesus❓
The reason I ask is because I'm trying to define biblically what "obedience" looks like under grace for our home Bible study group and Sabbatarian friends.
Bless ya heaps! Al.
Were you ever under the law of Moses?
If "no" how the heck are you redeemed from its curse for not keeping it?
Hi brother, hope you don't mind me trying to answer this question. Obedience in the Old Covenant was keeping the law of Moses, whereas obedience in the New Covenant is giving food, shelter and hope and love to the poor, looking after orphans and the elderly and sharing the gospel of the good news of Jesus wherever we go. This is all done in love, which is the only commandment. Hope this helps.
Nico...
Thanks for explaining the difference between the two covenants.
Were you ever part of the Old Covenant?
If not then you were never under the law or redeemed from its curse.
Heb 9:15 says that the New Covenant redemption was from the transgressions committed under the old covenant.
Would you say Christ redeemed you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3?
@@MandMe91 I was never under the old covenant so the law of Moses never applied to me. In Christ I am redeemed from my sin and now I have freedom and liberty in Christ. The law is a curse compared to the freedom that is in Christ.
@@nicoarnold2200
You're missing it Nico...redemption was ONLY from the curse of the Mosaic law.
***Jesus was born under the law to redeem those who were under the law" Gal 3
Galatians 3:14 (ESV): 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
“those who are of faith are BLESSED, that is why God says be FAITHFUL to My Torah and you will be blessed. Be UNFAITHFUL to my Torah and you will be cursed. Got Torah Got Truth
So the gentiles who had no Torah, God saved them, just like people who had Torah. Yet even after the council of Jerusalem, they was not required to keep Torah.
That's the issue, if you use Torah as a measure of righteousness then you have made the grace of God no effect. This is the warning Paul gives in Galatians ch 3.
You want to keep the food laws fine, you want to keep shabbat by all means go ahead, but when you use those of means of showcasing your righteousness, well you may want to read that Chapter.
@@OutReach4God our understanding of scripture is obviously quite different. The scriptures state that he who makes it to the end is saved..I’m not showcasing my righteousness. The Torah is actually Yehoshua’s righteousness.. this why the scriptures state “ that Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness Your Torah is the truth.”.. The righteousness of Christianity is going to church on Sunday or Saturday., celebrating Christmas, Easter, eating swine…which by the way are nowhere to be found anywhere in the scriptures. The righteousness of God and the righteousness of man are violently opposed to each other. Righteousness simply means instructions on how to live life right. You decide who’s righteousness you want to follow. Got Torah Got Truth
@@harryabrahams2770 It's very different, this type of theology came in the later 1980's. Even orthodox Messianic jews would tell you otherwise. The Torah itself was given in a covenant to Israel only Dueteronmoy ch 5: 1-3 understanding that God made a covenant based of people keeping this perfectly, there days would be prolonged and blessed. This old covenant righteousness. Man however never lived up to the deal that was made.
Insert Christ, and the new, Because Christ kept the law he became the standard of righteousness, and that righteousness is imputed to those who believe.
He paid the debt of sin of which the law convicted us. Now we who are in Christ, or as Hebrew says perfected in Christ are now dead to the law.
This is why Our faith in Christ, is above all, and anything we do to try to add to Christ righteousness, we actually taint it. This is substitution theology. I also want to point out that if you believe you have the strength to endure to the end, you will fail. God is the master builder and if He started a Good work in you he will bring it to completion.
As far as the holidays you listed, we are free in christ to celebrate such things, minus the commercialization of them, all have a celebration of Christ.
Christmas before being hijacked was to celebrate the birth of Christ and used as an evangelistic tool in 336 ad.
Ressuection Sunday was to celebrate the risen savior, not the easter bunny, which was added over time through Germanic traditions.
Outside of that there is nothing to say we can't honor God on those days. Roman's ch 14 allows us to Honor God outside of the feasts.
@@harryabrahams2770 Also eating swine is not forbid, never was forbidden for a gentile, and no restrictions was ever placed on gentiles eating it. We can even look further and see that Christ states that food we eat doesn't defile a man. Genesis ch 9:3 He allowed Noah to eat swine, in fact he could eat anything that the covenant at Mt Sinai said was unclean.
Until Moses wrote the Torah we don't have any scripture to limit food of any kind but the contrary. My question to you do you tell people to not eat swine? If you are could you share with me anywhere in scripture any gentile was ever commanded not to eat it? The only time I see an issue is when Paul rebuked Christian pharisees for trying to force it on gentiles. He replied that the kingdom of God is not about food.
So does food become a measuring of God's righteousness, if so is Paul incorrect when he said the Kingdom of God is not about meat or drink?
@@OutReach4God the Torah came out of the mouth of God Abraham was a gentile yet God instructed him to be circumcised. The verse you chose Genesis 9:3 to justify eating what God calls an abomination also contains the Messiah ( the first and the last, the beginning and the end). But of course you might not know that since the English translations conveniently
leave the Messiah out. Check out the Hebrew. Got Torah Got Truth
Amen Romans 5:8😢❤
Ordwifey- A reminder that the law of Moses did not come until 430 years after Abraham. Let’s also follow the commandment found in second Timothy chapter 2, to handle the word of truth accurately. When you quote from Matthew chapter 5, and you mention that our righteousness had better exceed that of the Pharisees and the scribes, are you saying that you think you are capable of that sir?? If you think that you are able, you are misled. Do you not see the entire point that the Messiah was trying to make!? You sir, just as the rest of us, are not able to keep the law, which is precisely why it is called a tutor to lead us to the one who could! We have the Messiah my friend, when we have the substance, why would we run back to the shadow?
Savvy…righteousness simply means instructions on how to live life right…God’s righteousness is His Torah and the Pharisees righteousness is their Torah. The to are violently opposed to each other..the righteousness of Christianity is their instructions such as going to church on Sunday or Saturday, Christmas, Easter..which are nowhere to be found in the scriptures. Got Torah Got Truth
@@harryabrahams2770 Harry- you have made a point that you are distancing yourself from Pharisees. Messiah never taught that Pharisees did not keep Torah. I absolutely disagree on that point because Jesus actually stated that Pharisees were “whitewashed tombs“ and that they cleaned the outside of the cup, well inside they were filthy. In other words, they were outwardly keeping the law to the T. This is why in Matthew chapter 5 Jesus stated that unless your “righteousness” exceeds that of the Pharisees you will never enter the kingdom. It’s about the heart, not the outward acts. I can’t figure out where you got your definition of righteousness. Righteousness does not equal Torah, rather Torah points us to Christ who is our righteousness. That’s the point brother! Biblically, righteousness is defined as dikaiosune (G1343). It is defined as Christian character of equity, specifically Christian justification, and as you’re probably familiar we are justified by Christ, and not by the law. Galatians 3:21 explains that “if a law had been given that was able to impart righteousness, then righteousness would have been based on the law“ this absolutely and to the point instructs us that righteousness is not equal to Torah. Galatians 3:24 quote but rather, the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ“. And then second Corinthians chapter 5 states “and God made him who knew no sin, to become sin on our behalf in order that we might be made the righteousness of god in Christ“--an added note, I think everyone can agree that Pharisees did indeed add to the Torah, and many of the Pharisees add-ons, are not found in Torah, this we can agree on. However you cannot use this to say that the Pharisees did not keep Torah. That’s why Jesus used them as a standard example in Matthew chapter 5. They were very good at cleaning the outside of the cup! Got Torah-Got truth? I understand that you intend for this to support the beliefs of the Torah observant as people who have found the truth. And it’s, in my viewpoint, intending to support the notion that the non-Torah observant don’t have the truth. I cannot support this thought. Because the real truth is, real believers all agree that the Torah was given by God to Moses, and to the people of Israel. Torah was given for a reason and it’s a beautiful thing so yes, I got Torah, and I got truth. The truth being that the beautiful law of Moses was our guardian, our school master, our beautiful tutor to lead us to the point of God‘s salvation which is the Messiah. We don’t reject the tutor, we think the tutor for leading us to the answer which brings us righteousness, which is Christ, our righteousness. Please do not in anyway believe that we don’t love with the tutor was given for.--AND…. The beautiful part is, Galatians 3:24, now that we have found our Messiah, now that faith has come, we are no longer under the tutor! Praise Jesus! He is our righteousness,
@@savvycavvy7859 the Messiah is Righteous but His Torah is His Righteousness. Psalm 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy Torah is the truth. The Torah is His righteousness and it is His everlasting truth. In other words His Torah transcends time. Got Torah Got Truth

Hi, is it a sin to eat fat, Leviticus says that it's wrong. I know that unclean foods are allowed but the bible doesn't say fat is unclean, not blood either. Please help because I can't eat the food my parents made if that's the case. Fat could be a sin because it's not "unclean".
No, it's not a sin to eat fat, AdamBruh. There is no food that is sinful to eat under the New Covenant.
"Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” Mark 7:18-23
RLS
The NEW COVENANT is the LAW of Torah, but understood from a spiritual perspective, not through ego, (yetzer hora, evil inclination) but through SPIRIT and TRUTH written in the heart by the anointing (Christ RISEN through the heart and mind):
So till this is done, the reader of the Bible doesn't really understand what is written, past present or future because for them, it is all past or future, except what they can grasp spiritually: BLESS YOU ALL: LOVE TO ALL OF YOU
I woupd wish christians would note that it doesnt seem like god didnt bless abrahams polygny.
He didnt curse. Or punish abraham? For 2 wives. But issac was right becuase faith
It does seem like god didnt punish this as adultery. Could u do a reading over that.
Could someone explain Why there is no in Moses 10 commandments fundamental commandment: love and care for your children, because they are defenseless?Every human knows that this is a fundamental commandment.
Abraham was chosen, “that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice.”
Keeping the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice would bring about for Abraham what HaShem promised him. (Genesis 18:18-19.)
Most excellent, Professor! Paul's teaching here is simple and straightforward. I often wonder if some Christians think they have to "do" or "keep" the law (to earn or keep their salvation) because they grew up in an environment of conditional love.
I wonder if Christians that dont keep the law grew up dishonoring their parents and being rebellious.. does unconditional love mean we can do what we want? To me that's not real love. We want to please honor and respect the ones we love. Especially when they have clearly instructed us what they do and dont like. No disrespect to you and i am not judging you. Just responding to your comment.
James. A righteous christian is already keeping majority of the law. What do u mean?
@@indo3052 Sorry for the confusion. I updated my comment.
@@ORDWIFEY I updated my comment to clarify. The answer to your question is, "no". I practice keeping the moral law out of obedience and love for God who loved me first and saved me, not not to earn or keep my salvation. If you want to keep the Sabbath and the dietary laws because it makes you feel closer to God, then fine. But doing them to earn or keep your salvation is not what I believe. I don't judge you for that. Let God judge whether or not our faith is made null and void by it or acceptable without it. What I resent is those who do believe that we must keep the Sabbath and dietary laws by forcing those in the household to give up their liberties in Christ and condemn them or deprive them if they don't follow their beliefs. I believe Paul has something to say about that: "Colossians 2:16-17 - Therefore, no one is to act as your judge in regard to food and drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon, or a Sabbath day-things which are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." Unfortunately, there are those who now don't trust Paul any longer as an authority because it doesn't fit their narrative. Some of these same people also uphold the apocrypha to be equal or above the canon of Scripture. In some cases, it is destroying families. I hope and pray that isn't happening to yours.
@@jamesrmooresr i agree with what your saying. I don't condemn or judge or think im saved by works. My faith and love for Yahshua makes me want to obey anyway i can through His Spirit. I know that im not perfect in that but His Spirit guides me and shows me where i need to repent. There is an attack on people who do want to keep the laws and that's why i got involved in this discussion. Not to target or condemn but to try understand why there is this argument and hatred towards people who keep Torah. We all love Yahshua at the end of the day and we all agree we are to love one another but by arguing or condemning is not obeying the command we all agree on.
Justin + t bishop… please stop mocking! You know deep within your heart that RL Solberg does not suggest that we dishonor our parents, so please be respectful.
That wasn't my point brother. Please read my follow up response to Rob. Blessings.
The problem is that they are blind to the point that you are trying to get across, and that is because they have a mental block; the lie they have been embedded with is causing them to not see the points that one is trying to get across. I do not listen to Rob's videos anymore, but I read the comments to understand what is being talked about.
There is a better chance of erasing the spots on a leopard than their eyes opening up to the truth of God's word, not only because a lie has been embedded in them but also because they don't want anything to do with the truth of God's word.
Please articulate how people that were NEVER under the law can be cursed for not keeping it.

The Promise was given to Abraham and his offspring, because Abraham obeyed HaShem’s voice and kept His charge, His commandments, His statutes, and His laws. (Genesis 26:4-5, Genesis 22:18.)

James 2: 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and by works faith was brought to completion.
James 2: 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers[d] and sent them out by another road?(Q) 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.
Paul is addressing pharisees that are not keeping the law, teaching new converts they must get circumcised first when coming to the faith. They were also teaching to keep the law for eternal life and not believe in jesus.

Are you intentionally omitting Hebrew Scripture connecting the Promise to obeying HaShem or are you unfamiliar with the Scriptures? It’s puzzling.
Capitalization emphasis is mine throughout.
Genesis 18:18-19
18 seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE, so that the Lord may bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”
Genesis 26:4-5
4 I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth shall gain blessing for themselves through your offspring, 5 BECAUSE ABRAHAM OBEYED MY VOICE and KEPT MY CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS, MY STATUTES, and MY LAWS.”
Genesis 22:15-18
15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies, 18 and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, BECAUSE YOU HAVE OBEYED MY VOICE.”
The author of James seems to know this:
James 2:20-22
20 Do you want to be shown, you senseless person, that faith apart from works is worthless? 21 Was not our ancestor ABRAHAM JUSTIFIED by WORKS when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and by works faith was brought to completion.
Note:
Biblically, the word HOLY means "SET APART" with distinction from the Other Nations.
Definitions:
HOLY: (SEPARATE & SET APART)
UN-HOLY: (ALL INCLUSIVE & INTERMINGLED)
Any doctrine/ religion teaching that ALL Nations should be "JOINED TOGETHER" as one people, with No distinction amongst the Nations...Is UN-HOLY and Anti-Israel.

We have to keep the commandments. Jesus said so out of his mouth and God does not change.
Not every command that God has given applies to every person at all times, Bruce. Some of His commands were only given to certain people (ex. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses), or for certain times (ex. building an ark, gathering manna) and we're each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. And the ceremonial Mosaic commands do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required.) We are released from the Law of Moses, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code (Rom 7:6).
@@TheBiblicalRoots I am dealing with the scripture Matthew 19-16-17. This is clear that in order to obtain eternal life we must keep the commandments and then Jesus list some of them. This is literal. This is a conversation between a man and the Son of God about eternal life and God does not lie. So I will believe Jesus and keep the commandments. No disrespect brother but you have to be taught by the priest of God which is Israel. Israel is the nation that God chose to be His priest. Psalms 147:19-20 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statues and judgments unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgment, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.
@@brucepayton6322 That's pretty scary, Bruce! As a brother in Christ, I would caution you not to base your theology on a partial passage. You really need to read and understand the rest of that passage that you cited. Because you'll notice that Jesus only gives the man a handful of commands. And then the man says he has kept all of them since he was a child, but he was still lacking something. So then Jesus gives him a *new* command not found in the Torah!
16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. (Matthew 19)

Abraham kept Gods laws and that faith was counted for righteousness, as there were no 10 commandments, just the law of righteousness which was spelt out to Abraham and Israelites.
Faith is keeping God's laws, faith is the human effort to keep the laws, it is their believing in action of good works, not works of the law which are sins.
You are right it is by faith not of works. By faith in every word our Father in heaven has given us. I believe in the completeness of Yahshua, He is the old and new testament. He is the Word!!
Mathew 5:17-20 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
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.
He said Fullfill, what do you think he meant when he said it is finished on the cross? Infact Torah was a baby sitter until Christ. The law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus.
@@OutReach4God The High Priests in the Old Testament served as a mediator between God and the Israelites. They were the only ones who could come into God’s presence and make the temporary blood sacrifices needed to forgive sin.
Jesus is our mediator and High Priest. He was the ultimate sacrifice- the perfect lamb of God. He gave up His own life to pay the penalty for our sin. Once and for all time.
“But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.” Hebrews 10:12 NLT.
The High Priests went behind the temple curtain into the Most Holy Place only once a year to atone for the people’s sin.
At the moment of Jesus’ death, this massive curtain ripped in two. His sacrificial death removed the barrier between God and us.
Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and our interceding High Priest. We are now able to come before our King at any time.
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16.

and I turned away from them,

10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds

Hebrews 10:26-31 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
@@ORDWIFEY Correct the people couldn't keep it and still can't keep it, this is why we are justified in Christ and not on the works of the law. For if you believe you are justified by keeping the law then you have voided the grace given you.
The Law has been fullfilled in Christ, we are now called to Love God and to love people the way Christ loved us. This is what his video's are over.
If you are a gentile keeping the law, you have placed a burden on yourself never required, but if you break one even the slightest, you have broken the entire law.

Prof Solberg. Please publicly answer these 2 questions:

Did Christ redeem you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3?
1. No
2. Yes

How in the heck are you redeemed from a law you were never under? Thank you for proving that even the most educated theologians make erroneous claims about the bible.

It's hard to imagine that any self-thinker could subscribe to a belief that claims they are redeemed from the curse of a law they were never under.
Will you continue to be dishonest? My guess is you will simply because you're livelihood depends on it.
@@TheBiblicalRoots It seems like "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" would mean that everybody born since the law was given would "technically" have been subject to the curse of the law, whether or not they were "born under the law of Moses" as this guy says, correct?
There was already a curse for sin before the law. The law only multiplied sin- Romans 5. Jesus not only redeemed us from the curse of the law but also the curse of all sin from Adam.
From looking at these comments, I think a lot of these people, as well as seventh day adventists, have a misunderstanding of "the Law" or the 10 commandments and they seem to believe that the 10 commandments are eternal. It really has become a sort of idol for them. Are there any scriptures that address this false teaching? One that comes to mind is "the sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath" (Mark 2:27) Thanks!

For all have sinned ( transgressed the law )…how is it possible to sin if the law is done away with? Paul’s statement that all are sinners simply means that the Mosaic Law is still in play.
Got Torah Got Truth
If the mosaic law is still in play we all in trouble. Rom 3.10 - As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. Do you see Christians as no one righteous but Torah followers are? Lets see if the law can bring righteousness. Rom 10.4 - 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Do you believe Christ Jesus did all for you? The verse tells you Christ is the end only for those who believe. Here is only 2 answers. Yes i believe and then the law dont bring righteousness so not binding. Or no i dont believe in Jesus sacrifice and the law is binding and bring righteousness which is unbiblical.
Let me ask you another question. Do Christians keep the law? No - we fulfill the law. Like Jesus said He didn't abolish it He fulfill it. So do we fulfill it? (Jesus gave us a new commandment - John 13.34 - “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.) So do Christians keep Jesus new commandment? Do they believe Him as the end of the law for righteousness? And do they like Him fulfill the law because they love? Galatians 5:14 - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Do you fulfill the law? You cant keep it cause no man is righteous which means no man can keep it. If you brake 1 law you broke all. Have you looked with lust? You ever get mad? Just 2 upgrades Jesus did of the law. So what do the law bring you exactly the Jesus cant? Nothing. Jesus is the end of the law for righteousness. You now can only find it in Jesus our saviour. Put your faith in Jesus to save you not the law.
You are confusing the moral laws with mosaic law , two different things.
@@irvinquijano sin is the transgression of the law…no where in scripture does it say sin is the transgression of the moral law and the rest of the law you can transgress.

You do realize even pagans knew about this without the Torah🤦🏼♂️
@@TheBiblicalRoots Good morning Rob. No sir, I am making light of the fact that you tend to produce content which presupposes that most of us practice Torah to be saved.
Normative Christianity doesn't teach that it's okay to lie, cheat and steal... Not because they are trying to earn their salvation but because it's the right thing. It's the same way with many of us with how we view and practice Torah.
If other believers don't think that doing what Scripture states is holy, righteous, and good matters. Then that's on them. As for me and my house, we will continue doing what the Father asks and Jesus exemplified. It's not a burden, and it is the absolute least we can do for our Messiah.
More believers really should ask themselves why it's such an issue for them to even consider implementing Torah in their lives. If they are honest, they will probably find out that it has more to do with them than it does with the Torah.
Also, you stated that practicing Torah doesn't do anything for us... I beg to differ. Just within a year's time we have seen sin lifted, relationships repaired, death averted, economic stability, Spiritual growth, etc... All because of the Father's provision through our obedience. For your sake, please tread lightly. You might find yourself calling a work of the Spirit an evil thing.
And no, Paul didn't teach against Torah obedience. He taught against trusting in one's works for salvation. Specifically Jewish conversion which contained elements of Torah practice.
Two things can be true at the same time. Paul can teach us that Torah (or works of obedience) don't justify us and still acknowledge that once we are justified that Torah is the basis in which we should walk out our faith.
