“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Hebrews 8:10
And because we love the LORD with all our heart, soul, mind = we still follow His 10 commandments. We don't follow them to be saved, we follow them because we're saved! 🙌🏻🥳🥰
As someone who used to follow the wrong doctrines and became so bound by a religious spirit that it took God to literally fight to set me free, this is TRUE! The enemy is blinding so many eyes with this Jesus + gospel and so many people are being deceived into leaning on themselves for their salvation. Walk in the Spirit and follow Christ.
I am so glad reading the comments! Amen Amen! YES! We have to keep the holy commandments, and the Sabbath is holy for eternity. Love your neighbourd like yourself and love God = a resume of the 10 commandments. The catholic church changed our only worship day (saturday the 7th day of the week, our resting day with the Lord), to a day that God didnt choose, man chose it (you can google it, its a known, historical, fact). If we love God we will keep his holy commandments because he gave them to us to protect us. I am not saying it's easy but we can and will with the help of the holy spirit. I pray you guys will look deeper into it for it is trully a blessing. God bless you
Yeshua Jesus did not come to “change” the law or make it “go away”. He came to fulfill the law and help us clearly see that the Torah is all about Him. Yeshua said “ For if you really believed Moses, you would believe Me; because he wrote about Me. But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?” John 5:46-47. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He does not change. And Yeshua said “I and my Father are One” . Yeshua Jesus would not come to void what His Father spoke and firmly established . He made us realize how it all points to Him! (The Lamb at Passover is just one example out of numerous others) therefore what God said in the Old Testament (Torah) is still valid to this day. We have just fallen away as a body (Church) and forgotten who we really are. We’ve taken on traditions of man and forgotten The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Yeshua came to teach us to do as He did. And He followed the law because He IS the Law. Shalom to you and blessings.
When I said "Jesus changed everything” I am meaning that we are no longer obligated to follow the law because of the finished work He has already done on the cross. Jesus did not literally change the law but after His death and resurrection He changed how we worship and how we relate to God the Father. We now have a NEW mediator to restore our relationship with God. Thoughts on Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."
Thank you Ashley, Mentor Momma & Taylor too! love your heart for the Lord! ✝️ When did Jesus take away the Old Testament Laws? I missed that in Scripture?? Honestly, what Chapter, verses, etc.? Thx so much! 🙂 IMO, God sent Jesus to "Save" us from our sin, not to "save" us from the Old Testament. MATT. 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish But to fulfill." Blessings & understanding to all. ✝️ 🇮🇱
Great question! Here are some scriptures we can turn to: - In Mark 7:18-19 Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean - In Acts 10:9-16 God declares to Peter that any food that was previously UNCLEAN is now CLEAN - Hebrews 10:1-18 and Hebrews 7:26-27 shows that Jesus is the ONCE and FOR ALL Sacrifice - meaning that we are no longer obligated to continue to follow the OT sacrificial laws (if we did then what was Jesus' death sufficient for?) - Hebrews 10:19 says, we now "have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus” and this is INCREDIBLE because in the Old Testament law this is completely forbidden except for the high priest! A quote from Timothy Keller: "the coming of Christ changed how we worship, but not how we live. The moral law outlines God’s own character - his integrity, love and faithfulness. Old Testament commandments about loving our neighbor, caring for the poor, being generous with our possessions and being committed to family still apply. The New Testament continues to forbid killing and adultery, and the sexual ethic of the Old Testament is restated throughout the New Testament." Yes - Jesus came to FUFILL the law for us because we in ourselves could not! But we are still to love God and love people as Jesus commands in Mark 12:30-31: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.” - Matt. 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the "Law" or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." We do this NOT for our salvation but to GLORIFY GOD: Galatians 2:16 "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified."
@@coffeeandbibletime In Mark 7, He is saying that all food is clean. What does God consider food? Leviticus 11 tells us. Mark 7 in context is about eating with unwashed hands, not about which animals are clean and unclean. And in Acts 10, the context is that Jews and Gentiles can both come to Jesus. It has nothing to do with actual animals. If it did, I’m sure we would read about Peter telling everyone how God showed them that they can eat all meat, but he didn’t. He told people that God showed him that they shouldn’t call the Gentiles unclean
@@kellyorwig6653 By the Grace and Love of ABBA GOD HOLY SPIRIT you are absolutely right , that is the right context !!!!! Thanks for sharing dear sister !!!!!!! ♥️ From Namrita.
@@rhoda4621 All food is clean but pork isn’t food. In Leviticus 11, God tells us what food is and isn’t. It’s just like eating a dog or cat. We know those aren’t food and neither are the animals God outlines in His word. Eating unclean meat is an abomination and we are defiled by it. It doesn’t say why certain meat is unclean, but scientifically, they are scavengers and eat dead animals. Shellfish and shrimp are bottom feeders and eat scum. Shrimp has mercury in it as well. It’s not ok to eat just because we cook it and try to get all the toxins out. God says NOT to eat them or even touch their carcass if we can help it. So shouldn’t be obey? He gives us instructions to set us apart from the world. To make us holy. And the dietary instructions are included. Think of this also….unclean meat wasn’t allowed into the Temple. Today, we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Why would it be ok to consume unclean meat into our body, where the Holy Spirit resides?
If & when Jesus changed anything ... where in Scripture does it say this please? Ty so much. Jesus said, follow me (God's ways), not man's ways. Jesus followed God's Ways, Laws, Torah & Sabbath. Man cannot change God's Law. Man eats Pork, Shellfish & we go to "Church" on Sunday ... yet God said ... do not eat Swine's flesh, bottom feeders, scavengers, etc. (All in Leviticus Ch. 11) & 4th Commandment, Keep the Sabbath Holy (7th weekday=Sabbath or Shabbat - Fri. Sunset to true Sabbath (Saturday) Sunset. We CAN do it, we just don't want to hear it, I guess??? 🤷♀️🤔 Messianic Congregations do this weekly Shabbat, Rest from the "World", Fellowship, Oneg (Lunch meal together 🥰) & follow God's Biblical Kosher instructions. (Lev. Ch.11)
The OT law fits into three categories. Ceremonial which was fulfilled in Christ and civil how we are to interact with each other and moral which is now under the New Covenant showing fruit of Spirit but not a way of salvation.
I really appreciate these answers. Unfortunately, the word “love” has gotten skewed and seems to subjective in our society. Can you speak more on that in regards to the Matthew verse?
Jesus didn't come to change. He came to fulfill the OT. (Matthew 5:17) So yes. You should still obey the rules. As a Seventh Day Adventist, I do not eat pork. I obey the OT. God is the same God. He is saying that pork is unclean in Leviticus. But now, Jesus came and pork became clean all of a sudden? God makes rules to protect us and make us healthy in many ways. Pork is not healthy.
Yes, exactly. The laws for purity no longer apply because Jesus made us pure by his ultimate, once and for all, sacrifice on our behalf. By His stripes we were healed. Matthew 15:11 is a good verse to read. "It’s not what goes into the mouth that contaminates a person in God’s sight. It’s what comes out of the mouth that contaminates the person.”
Any thoughts on Mark 7:18-19 (Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean) and Acts 10:9-16 (God declares to Peter that any food that was previously unclean is now clean)? When I said "Jesus changed everything” I am meaning that we are no longer obligated to follow the law because of the finished work He has already done on the cross. Jesus did not literally change the law but after His death and resurrection He changed how we worship and how we relate to God the Father. We now have a NEW mediator to restore our relationship with God. Romans 7:4-6 "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."
@@coffeeandbibletime I agree that the way we worship is changed. And i agree that what enters your mouth doesn't make you unclean. But when there are many types of foods that are more delicious and way healthier, I dont need pork. What is unclean or clean, God made those rules for our health, not because He was bored and wanted to make some rules. I was a muslim before and learned so much through your channel. I love your Bible study videos and i love you too. But i don't agree about this topic. God Bless You
Love these ladies ❤❤ Should we attend church on Saturday which is the Sabbath? If we are not supposed to change anything in the Bible why are people changing the date of worship? Why do we go to church on Sundays when the Catholic church is the one that started Sundays worshipping. Isn't Sunday for the ones that worshiped the Sun? Please give me some advice because I didn't see anything in the Bible that says keep Sunday holy but I did see keep the Sabbath day holy always.
The Catholic Church combined the Sabbath and the Lord’s Day (Resurrection Day) into a single day. The biblical sabbath is on Saturday, whereas Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday morning. Church services are held on Sunday because they determined worship should be held on Resurrection Day. It’s not wrong to observe the combined Sabbath/Lord’s Day, but they were originally separate days. Therefore, I rest on Saturday and worship with my church on Sunday. We can gather and worship the Lord on any day of the week, but I find a lot of joy in setting aside one day to rest in the Lord and another day to celebrate His resurrection. I hope this was helpful for you ❤
I disgree, ladies. I believe that God did not change the food laws to where we should eat pork. Or change the 4th commandment about keeping the Sabbath (Shabbat) holy. I believe in observing the Saturday original Sabbath. I have seen no place in The New Testament that calls pork a food. I also never saw in The New Testament where the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, and that it is ok to work on the Sabbath day. If I am wrong, please enlighten me, Ashley. No fight wanted, just the truth.
Mark 7:18-19 Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean Acts 10:9-16 God declares to Peter that any food that was previously unclean is now clean As regards to Sabbath - I think the Bible project article is really good. They say: "As followers of Jesus, God does not expect us to live by Israel’s laws. However, the wisdom of these laws remains, and the law of the Sabbath is rich with significance for us today. Sabbath is not a commandment we are bound to; it’s a promise we’re invited to enjoy." bibleproject.com/articles/keeping-the-sabbath-is-it-still-relevant-to-christians-today/#! When I said "Jesus changed everything” I am meaning that we are no longer obligated to follow the law because of the finished work He has already done on the cross.

@@coffeeandbibletime How can Sabbath not be a commandment we're bound to keep when it's listed in the 10 Commandments? Not only is it listed there, it starts with the word: Remember. I subscribed to your channel very recently and this was one of my first videos I watched of yours. I prayed before, and after, my earlier comment to yours explaining that you're taking Bible verses out of context in regards to food laws. You cannot pick a handful of verses out of the middle of a passage to justify your stance. You have to read the whole passage to have appropriate context. James 3:1-2 states that those teaching the Bible will be held to a higher standard. As someone who is trying to educate people on the Bible you need to be very careful and do your due diligence, lest you lead God's sheep astray.
“Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.” Acts 10:28
Thank you Ashley and mentor mama for the video. However, I disagree with what you say. The only rule that was abolished was the ceremonial laws (feasts, priesthood, sacrifice, etc ...) because Jesus has fulfilled the work already on the cross. But all the commands from old testament are still valid and complement perfectly the new testament commands. Follower of Christ are ought to be set apart and follow the commands to live clean and holy life just as people from the old testament. Pork is unclean animal. We should read the whole chapter to understand the context (Mar 7: 18-19) It doesn't talk about food, even Peter knew that it was unclean to eat it so he said that, plus he didn't eat it even in his vision, later on he understood it was about the gentiles and jews considered clean and unclean people and it tells how God doesn't discriminate people. It was not about food at all. You may check this YT link as well for more explanation backed up with bible verse : th-cam.com/video/NAxT0fYdGP4/w-d-xo.html Thank you and may God bless us as we seek to know the truth from His word.
More Scripture we can turn to: - In Mark 7:18-19 Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean - In Acts 10:9-16 God declares to Peter that any food that was previously UNCLEAN is now CLEAN - Hebrews 10:1-18 and Hebrews 7:26-27 shows that Jesus is the ONCE and FOR ALL Sacrifice - meaning that we are no longer obligated to continue to follow the OT sacrificial laws (if we did then what was Jesus' death sufficient for?) - Hebrews 10:19 says, we now "have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus” and this is INCREDIBLE because in the Old Testament law this is completely forbidden except for the high priest!

NEW COVENANT: Hebrews 9:15 - Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. Luke 22:20 - And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. Hebrews 8:13 - In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. Jeremiah 31:33 - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
So many of the comments below seem to come from people who believe Christians are ought to obey the OT laws (specifically the 10 commandments). I also had the same belief as a former Seventh Day Adventist. I would say the same arguments in favor of keep the 10 commandments and I genuinely didn’t understand why other Christians didn’t keep the 4th one.. But only when I started reading what the new testament says about the old one, I could see that new covenant believers are no longer bound to the 10 commandments and the rest of the OT laws. I would highly recommend reading Galatians (especially chapters 3 and 4), Romans 7:1-6, Hebrews 8. The Bible says that going back to the old covenant laws is spiritual adulatory - we can’t embrace Jesus and the law at the same time. Jesus came to fulfill the law and bring something better. We no longer have to live under the bondage of keeping OT laws but instead walk in the Spirit. OT Jews did not have Holy Spirit living in them like New Covenant believers do. Jesus’s death and resurrection changed everything - and we can rejoice in that. ☺️ Regarding the observance of Sabbath - Romans 14:1-6. We have freedom to observe a day for the Lord but saying that if someone doesn’t keep the Sabbath, they will receive the mark of the beast (in Revelation) is simply not in the Bible. Unbelievers will receive the mark of the beast but not Christians going to church on Sunday. And just to note - I don’t believe I’m keeping Sunday by going to church in that day 🙂 It’s simply a day when Jesus was resurrected and when believers gather to worship. It’s not a new Sabbath or changed from Saturday to Sunday. Colossians 2:16-17 says that “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” These are a shadow but the reality is found in Christ - by holding onto the shadows, we miss the real thing.
of course I’m not saying that we can murder, lie, or steal.. As Ashley referred to Matthew 22 we are to love God and others - this looks so much more than just 10 commandments. For the New Covenant believers, there are guidelines all over the New Testament books about how to live and love God and others. Can for example being patient or self-controlled be fully explained within the 10 commandments? It is not just don’t muder or don’t steal, it’s so much more - in our every day lives when we are led by the Holy Spirit, He tells us when and how to be patient and self-controlled. It’s all the process of santification and cannot be summarized into 10 commandments. Holy Spirit convicts us and leads us how to live a holy life - what we need to do is to abide in Jesus by reading His word. He renews our mind, our desires, our behaviour. It is a mystery how God works in a believer but He does. We can see it in the fruit of that person which is so much more than just law keeping. I’ve heard somewhere that legalism is a short cut to holiness and it really is.. As an SDA I believed that by keeping the 10 commandments I was pleasing God, but Jesus calls us to a higher level of morality. Not just don’t kill but don’t be angry at your brother. Jesus Himself said: “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28 This complete change of heart is not possible by keeping the 10, only by the divine power of Spirit Himself.
@@domizatkova2489 Yes, the Ten Commandments do not outline everything, however, I feel that we are still to obey as best as possible, though that, of course, does not save us. I have a question, though since you quoted the scripture. I have never understood what the Bible means when it says that calling someone a fool puts them in danger of hell fire. Why?
I am a former SDA as well and I'm so happy to see your comment. Thank you for sharing this. In addition to the texts you mentioned regarding the Sabbath, I'd love to add Hebrews 4 that give us a fuller meaning of Sabbath in the new covenant as resting in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Verses 9-11 say "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience." The Sabbath is so much more than just keeping a day and we have the liberty to choose whatever day we worship in Christ. If we seek to be saved by keeping the sabbath by striving to keep any other OT laws we have missed the point (Galatians 5). The purpose of the law was to point us to Christ . Galatians 3:24-26 "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith."
Can you do a video on how to do Bible study on procreate. I would love to buy your course and love how it’s digital and the software you use but don’t know how to use pro create
So then the question would be how do we love God? The scripture says that we know that we are coming to love and know him if we keep his commandments 1 John 2:3. not keeping them to acquire salvation that’s only through Jesus but how we love God now that we are saved through Jesus!
We keep his commandments but we are under the new covenant Law by the blood of Jesus 🙏❤️🙏John 14:6-7 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
I just want to clarify for anyone who may not understand. The Bible says in 1 John 3:23 that His commandment is to believe on Jesus and follow what he tells us. Not to keep the old covenant law. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. - 1 John 3:22-24
@@TeeSoFree yes agreed! The old covenant laws are different from the commandments that Jesus said he didn’t come to do away with! Do not kill is a commandment that isn’t done away with do not covet is a commandment that isn’t done away with as well as sabbath which is part of the commandments not the old covenant laws. So the commandments hang on two which is love the Lord your God and love you neighbour and the Ten Commandments show us practically what that looks like! It’s not keeping them for salvation but from salvation. Because we are saved we have a heart of flesh and can now keep the commandments out of love and not from a place of trying to get salvation. Salvation is only through Yeshua!
I highly encourage you to do a cover to cover study and pray for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth and to help you understand. Just because 99% of Christians believe we don’t have to follow the OT law anymore, doesn’t mean it’s true. Read and study in context. Do a lot of cross referencing and let Scripture interpret Scripture
What is taught in this video is truth. Jesus is the only way, not our own works. I used to try to follow the law and became bound by so many spirits that God had to fight to free me. It was BAD. I can't wait to share my testimony. Stand firm in the gospel that you accepted when you accepted Christ and don't let anyone or anything take you away from that.
@@TeeSoFree Yes, Jesus is the only way to the Father. We are saved through Him and not our works, but the definition of sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). The law tells us what sin is and when we disobey His instructions, we are sinning. But we show God that we love Him by keeping His commandments (John 15). Obedience is the fruit of our salvation, not the root. Once we are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, He will give us a new heart and cause us to want to obey the Fathers Laws. This is the new covenant
@@kellyorwig6653 I used to believe these very things so I certainly get it but God has revealed the truth to me. If you read further in 1 John 3:22-24 it will tell you that the commandment of God we are told to follow is to believe on the name of Jesus and love one another. The Bible also says that the law is fulfilled in one thing: love. We are to believe in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation, and the Holy Spirit gives us the power to follow the command to love. The love that God requires us to have for one another can only come through His Spirit. I pray that God will give you more understanding as He has given me. The reading of the old covenant is blinding many people's minds to the truth. It tells us this in 2 Corinthians 3. We are to follow the Holy Spirit, not the letter of the law. God bless you. I pray that anyone who reads this will seek God and His Word alone for understanding. As followers of Christ, we are not under the old covenant but the new. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. - 1 John 3:22-24 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. - Galatians 5:14 Also Read 2 Corinthians 3 (Whole Chapter)
You just hit my soul literally thank you so much! I know you made this video 5 months ago. I am just no watching and feel so good! I didn’t understand new and Old Testament. Due to this I was beginning to feel so much guilt for sins I was committing. I was thinking I was not right for the forgiveness of god. I thought so much painful things about death. Literally you just changed my life. God bless you your family and everyone you come in counter with. I know you don’t have a large following but please keep these videos. You just saved me so much stress heartache and feelings of not being worthy of Jesus Christ! I say this to and I have been in church for all 18 years of my life! Thank you so much god is so great and works through so many people! Love you and keep going your are called by Jesus Christ!
This video has been on my mind for a week straight now (not even kidding) that's how powerful of a thought you put in my head. It really made me stop and think. Sometimes when I read the old and new testament in the same bible study, i contradict myself and get confused by God's message :(
No where in Scripture does it say the Old Covenant is abolished. Jesus spoke about keeping the Commandments from Exodus 20. 1John5 tells us His Commandments are not burdensome and if we love Him, we keep His laws-His Commandments. And Paul in Acts 21:24 we see Paul keeping the law. Romans 7:12 says the Law is holy, just and good.The law is necessary to enlighten our insufficiency, and deficiency. It exposes our imperfections and proves to us how unable we are to meet God's standards.We see how desperately we need our Savior Jesus.We no longer have need for the Ceremonial laws-Jesus fulfilled them. But if you're going to ignore God's law, you in effect are referring to removing the first 5 books of the Bible -The Torah. Good luck with that.
I appreciate your perspective, I am not saying in this video that the law is wrong or bad - but what I am saying is that what we could not do to fulfill the law perfectly Jesus Christ did for us and we can rest on His salvific work on the cross. I love the OT and the Torah. I believe it points to Christ. He fulfilled the law.
Thank you ashley and mentor mama for this interesting video! It came right on time 💕i was asking myself if i should keep the Sabbath (The fact that church is doing it on Sunday also , and some Christians say that we should not..saturday is the true rest day )..
@@painthenhope yeah I have faith in Jesus but the law of liberty like it says in james helped me to know what sin was. I saw that I was Sinning and I stopped. Haven’t gone back because I continued in the teaching of Jesus which says there are those who teach others to not keep the moral law and there are those who teach it. They will either be called last or greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19
And as for paying tithing? And celebrating the official Biblical Feasts? Do we still have to do that? I don't mean Christmas or Easter, because those are originally Pagan festivals. But the Biblical feasts from Levitivus 23. In a New Testament way? And baptism? Is that still in force? And the Sabbath? That was the fourth commandment of the 10 commandments. I mean the Sabbath on Saturday. Not what the Church has made of it by shifting it to Sunday. I really struggle with these things. Paul is not clear. He seems to contradict himself.
❤ God's word doesn't change. It's the same yesterday, today & tomorrow. ✝️ 🇮🇱 🕎 Jesus followed the Torah & kept Sabbath Holy, if it's good enough for Him, it's good for me as a believer. We are Messianic (born-again) believers & follow Torah. ie; God's food laws (instructions-Lev. Ch. 11). & keep Sabbath (Saturday) (set-apart) Holy. People seemed to miss The 4th Commandment. 🤷♀️🤔😁🥰 Matt. 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." Matt. 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
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. Matthew 5:17-20 King James Version 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7 King James Version 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Romans 7:12 King James Version Dear sister the law was given to show us , how holy Abba God Jesus Christ is and that we need a saviour , the law is a mirror to show us that we are sinners , By the Grace & the love of Abba God Yahweh , Abba God Jesus Christ , Abba God Holy Spirit we can keep the law , not by our strength but by his Spirit !!!!!!!! Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit says the Lord of hosts Zechariah 4:6 Holy Bible !!!!!!! said By Abba God Yeshua - ha- Moshiach ( God Jesus Christ ) !!!!!!!!! ❤🔥🔥🔥❤💒💒💒❤🔥🔥🔥❤💒💒💒❤🔥🔥🔥❤ with lots of love dear sister from Namrita .
We CAN keep the Law, so true! Not by our flesh, but by the Holy Spirit. In addition to believing in Jesus (Yeshua) is Messiah ... Keeping true Sabbath Holy & obey God's biblical food laws. Thx for sharing! We are: "Gentile born-again Believers" following God's ways & Jesus as our Savior. 💞
Hebrews 10:26-31 New International Version 26 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,”[a] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[b] 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
The bible says keeping the commandments is the love of God. They aren't done away with. This is so wrong! Resting is not the way to enter into the straight and narrow gate. People watching this please don't kick back and rest. Run the race that is set before you. And prove all things! This is very lukewarm and false. His commandments aren't burdensome. They are liberty.
Resting from the "World" - set-apart from the "World" & study & worship with other believers on Sabbath/Shabbat. Rest in His Holy Word, keep from making others work also. This helped me "keep Sabbath Holy". Hope this helps in some way. 💞✝️
Yes, according to the 4th, the Sabbath rest is also commanded. It is the sign of God's people. I observe the Friday to Saturday Sabbath. I was referring to the way rest was implied in the video. Hope that clarifies.
But how did you determine that morals laws are to be apply and not ritual/ceremonials laws ! All of them are from God so why doing one and not the other ?
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669🙂 especially the 4th one... Keeping The Sabbath (Saturday) Holy (set-apart) from other days of week. Gentile Messianic (Born-Again) believer.
I love you guys and I been watching you for years but I think I may have to disagree with you on this one. In a previous comment you referred to Acts 10 as OK to eat pork, But that is not what Acts 10 is about, its about God telling Peter that Gentiles are clean. Read the whole chapter, its about Cornelius. He was a gentile who followed Gods law. Righteous in God's sight (because he followed Gods law). He told Cornelius to send 2 ppl to where Peter was staying. Peter has the vision of animals on a sheet. God told him to eat. Now Peter will no way eat because he KNEW that God already said not to eat. When Jesus was on earth he did not teach against the law. He did not teach to eat unclean meat. So this left Peter confused. See a Jew would NEVER go into a Gentiles Home. No way. It was unclean. Never. So when they knocked at his door God told Peter to go with them. Can you imagine? How scared, confused Peter must have been. He head game going on in his head on his way there...wow. When he gets to Cornelius' house he sees that Cornelius is following Gods law and is righteous and is not a Jew. Then He know...Gentiles are accepted by God also. Its sad because its one of the most amazing stories about Gentiles being included in the kingdom and we reduced it to meat. If sin is transgression of the law, what law are they talking about? Gods law. Its a slippery slope because people can easily replace Jesus' sacrifice with the law. But we cant do the law. Thats why Jesus came - NOT TO SAVE US FROM THE LAW - PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT. ITS TO SAVE US FROM THE curse OF THE LAW. DEATH. I follow Jesus and I do my very best to follow Torah. But I suck at it sometimes. I do sabbath on Friday to Saturday and I had to LEARN to rest and its amazing because God shows up and shows out with me. Its personal and intimate. I also do the feasts which are amazing and fun and God comes and spends time with me. More than any other time. They are special. Most of the law is pretty easy to follow but people get hung up on sabbath and feasts and meat. Doesnt that sound crazy? This is not a salvation issue at all. Nope. Nada. Its a deeper relationship with God. We dont have to follow Torah. We get to. Thank you Jesus because now there is no Jew and no Gentile. We are One in Messiah. God is still the same tho...today, yesterday and forever. XOXO
God is the same today, tomorrow, and always! I think people are missing the point! The laws in the old Testament were meant to be followed in order for men/sinners to be cleansed and saved from sin/death! Jesus came and paid the sin for us! Jesus followed the OT laws, while ministering, because he was perfectly clean from sin! Once He died he took away the need to follow the old rituals because we are now clean! We can not earn our way into heaven! We have to truly believe that Jesus is our savior and paid all our debt! We are to find rest in Jesus everyday! Jesus is our Sabbath everyday!
This was so good because it's a tough one to understand sometimes. You made it easier to understand. I have Jewish friends who still follow the Old Testament which is good for them and they understand it so well. Thank you for your answers today Ashley...very clear and succinct!
Eating pork was a health law. It was not part of the sacrificial system that was fulfilled when Jesus died. I guess you are saying we are not bound by the 10 commandments now?
❤ IMO, as I understand it ... It's the Old & New "Testament", not old & new "Covenant". The New Testament is the enhancement of the Old Testament - Fulfillment of the Old Testament. (Tanak & Torah) Tanak=Old Testament Torah=First 5 books of Bible. Torah-means teaching, also translated = "Law". JESUS said ... in Matt. 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the "Law" or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." The ceremonial laws will be fulfilled when Jesus comes back at the Temple. If I understand it correctly. Matt. 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished." Blessings & understanding to all. 💕
Then what would be different today? Is GOD not still GOD?...Does not the same GOD still desire to have a relationship with us today? Is HE not the same HOLY GOD in the New Testament? Malachi 3:6-10 KJV...For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 1 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. John 14:15-17 If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. And MATTHEW 5:17...Be Blessed...
Not according to scripture; Because if you follow the Mosaic law that God gave to the Israelites and that Jesus fulfilled on the cross; then Christ died in vain. Gal. 2:21 …if righteousness come by the law then Christ died in vain. John 1:17 the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Romans 6:14 …for we are not under the law but under grace. And there are so many more scriptures that prove we are not to follow a law that was given to the Israelites. But that doesn’t take away the fact that Jesus is our example and we are to live our lives or behave in a godly manner. Romans 15:4 says what was written before was written for our learning not our living. Also Hebrews 7-10 explains how Jesus Christ came and brought in a new covenant/ testament. Good question
I hate to say it, but for me personally, the New Testament is SO much easier for me to understand and comprehend compared to the old testament. Old Testament goes so far over my head sometimes :/
Hello everyone just felt lead to share these 2 verses in The Book Of Revelations: Mind everyone,,,,, " that's the very last book in our know History concerning humanity! Revelations Chapter 12: 16 reads: And the dragon was worth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ....! Revelation Chapter 14: 12 reads: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God,and the faith of Jesus.
Before Torah was given, God told Noah in Genisis 9:2 "All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power. I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables"
First of all, there are 7 covenants, not only 2. Second of all, you speak about Israel like this is not for us, but if we accept Jesus, we are Israel (Galatians 3:26-29). When Jesus came, nothing changed, accept He paid for transgressing the law. The principle from Old and New Testament never changed. Salvation can only come from faith, it was never intended otherwise. But by keeping the commandments we declare that He is our God (Deuteronomy 26:17-18). The reason for the commandments is to set ourselves apart for God, as He delivered us from Egypt (from sin). Keeping the commandments should be our response to his grace. In Deuteronomy 6:20-21 God explains us that we keep the feasts (and the commandments) to show the rest of the world He saved us! Rejecting the law is rejecting God and walking in the flesh (Romans 8:7). The law reveals the character of God and is a great gift, it is given to give us benefit (Deuteronomy 5:29). Isaiah already prophesied that one day we would reject Gods law which is the entire Torah (Isaiah 30:8-9). Matthew 22 is a literal quotation from Deuteronomy 30:10. Loving God with all your heart means keeping the entire Torah. Read also Deuteronomy 5:29. Don't think about the Torah like "all these rules". If we really find out who God is from Torah, because he is revealed in Torah (John 5:46), we would fall in love with Torah. Read Psalm 119. His work is not finished on the cross. He still needs to come back and eliminate sin (which is transgression of the law). Even Jesus warned us that if we not obey the law (being lawless) He will say He never knew us (Matthew 7:21-23). And how to we establish that He is our God? Keeping His commandments (Deuteronomy 26:17-18) Jesus made the law complete, same word is used with someone filled with the holy Spirit. If someone if filled with the Holy Spirit, he still needs the holy Spirit, but if Jesus fulfilled the law, we don't need the law anymore? Jesus is our example. We should walk as He walked (1 John 2:6). If He is keeping the law, and we are not keeping it, we are not walked as He did, we are rejecting Him. If you reject the law if you don't know Jesus, you would die. If you still reject the law after Gods grace, it is even worse (Hebrews 10:28) In paradise the serpent (devil) questioned the authority of God and assured us we would not die (God says, if you sin, you will die). Now the devil tries to convince us we don't need to listen to God (His law), because we won't die. Do you believe the scripture of the serpent?
Yes I feel like we should because it's in the Bible and if we can let's try because some of the things we can't avoid due to our daily lives we try to obey the Bible as best as we can and some of the old laws
I believe in not eating pork and still observing the true Saturday Sabbath. I see no place in the New Testament that says to stop these things, unless I am misunderstanding things, but I don't see how.
Who is the New Covenant with? It's sad you don't realize that your telling people to disobey their Creator while at the same time saying he is your God.
Biblically is it wrong to cut your hair in the New Testament? I was raised Pentecostal and I worry about ME wearing pants and wearing makeup. I still haven’t cut my hair.
It is not wrong to cut your hair. It is not wrong to wear pants or makeup. That is legalism (strict adherence to laws and rules). We live in the grace of God who came to set us free! We are to love God and love our neighbors through the grace of Jesus Christ.
@@coffeeandbibletime Thank you! Sometimes the weight of my hair really effects my neck and I’ve been struggling for a while on what to do. Honestly when I pray I feel bad to cut it but i get confused on what is God speaking and what is how I was raised if that makes sense.
I am currently a Pentecostal and I follow this not cutting hair, no makeup or pants etc, and I do not see it as legalism. I see it as trying to live a holy life apart from the things of this world to get closer to God, because I do not follow a religion but a relationship with God. The word says that without holiness and peace with all, it is impossible to please God and that we must not conform to this world. How can I be different if I look just like every other person here who wears pants and makeup etc. BUT everyone has their own relationship with God and serves Him in their own way, so how I serve Him may not look like how others serve Him. My only advice is to pray, and if you feel guilty about it that might be the Holy Spirit convicting you because He is the one that guides us. My Pastors always tell me that the more I let go of things in this world, the closer I will get to God and I truly do see this in my life. He says we must deny ourselves daily and pick up our cross and follow Him. God bless you my sisters, we are all just trying to serve a holy and righteous God and we must allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. 💜
Yes and No, The law of his God is in his heart and none of his step shall slide, through Christ we not under the law no more the law is what lead a sinner to Jesus and the new law is gotta love your neighbor the law of God lead us in Rightness.
Modern christianity is false. Here's why: Biblical redemption was ONLY from the curse of the old covenant law. That law was ONLY given to old Covenant Israel and has not existed for nearly two thousand years. No one alive today was ever under that law or its curse. The law was never your schoolmaster. You were not kept under the law. Did Christ redeem you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3? Impossible.
Yes I feel like we should because it's in the Bible and if we can let's try because some of the things we can't avoid due to our daily lives we try to obey the Bible as best as we can and some of the old laws
Jesus came so that we don’t have to be under the bondage of the OT laws! The Bible says the New covenant is better than the old one and we should not go back to it. The old covenant was simply not sufficient - we couldn’t make our selves clean and holy through obeying the law. Only through Jesus’s sacrifice are we made clean and redeemed. :)
Please study Paul’s letters and the Gospel message. We are unable in our flesh to follow the Law perfectly. Jesus’ perfect life was given on our account when we believed. We now serve in the way of the Spirit, not the written Law. Which means we obey commands which show God’s character, but we don’t have to strive to obey the ceremonial commands.
@@domizatkova2489 Not saying I dont believe you, but can you possibly site the book in the new testament, chapter and verse to where it says the new testament is better than the old one? Just curious, thanks :)
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Hebrews 8:10
And because we love the LORD with all our heart, soul, mind = we still follow His 10 commandments. We don't follow them to be saved, we follow them because we're saved! 🙌🏻🥳🥰
As someone who used to follow the wrong doctrines and became so bound by a religious spirit that it took God to literally fight to set me free, this is TRUE! The enemy is blinding so many eyes with this Jesus + gospel and so many people are being deceived into leaning on themselves for their salvation. Walk in the Spirit and follow Christ.
Amen! Thank you for sharing your testimony!
If you follow christ you will be destroyed...The new testament was authored by the Piso family.
I am so glad reading the comments! Amen Amen! YES! We have to keep the holy commandments, and the Sabbath is holy for eternity. Love your neighbourd like yourself and love God = a resume of the 10 commandments. The catholic church changed our only worship day (saturday the 7th day of the week, our resting day with the Lord), to a day that God didnt choose, man chose it (you can google it, its a known, historical, fact). If we love God we will keep his holy commandments because he gave them to us to protect us. I am not saying it's easy but we can and will with the help of the holy spirit. I pray you guys will look deeper into it for it is trully a blessing. God bless you
Yeshua Jesus did not come to “change” the law or make it “go away”. He came to fulfill the law and help us clearly see that the Torah is all about Him. Yeshua said “ For if you really believed Moses, you would believe Me; because he wrote about Me. But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?” John 5:46-47. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He does not change. And Yeshua said “I and my Father are One” . Yeshua Jesus would not come to void what His Father spoke and firmly established . He made us realize how it all points to Him! (The Lamb at Passover is just one example out of numerous others) therefore what God said in the Old Testament (Torah) is still valid to this day. We have just fallen away as a body
(Church) and forgotten who we really are. We’ve taken on traditions of man and forgotten The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Yeshua came to teach us to do as He did. And He followed the law because He IS the Law. Shalom to you and blessings.
When I said "Jesus changed everything” I am meaning that we are no longer obligated to follow the law because of the finished work He has already done on the cross. Jesus did not literally change the law but after His death and resurrection He changed how we worship and how we relate to God the Father. We now have a NEW mediator to restore our relationship with God.
Thoughts on Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."
Follow the whole Bible read the whole Bible and believe.
Thank you! I just finished a Covenant study of the Bible, it was amazing. Love that you covered this, so helpful to so many.❤
Thank you friend!
Thank you Ashley, Mentor Momma & Taylor too! love your heart for the Lord!
✝️ When did Jesus take away the Old Testament Laws? I missed that in Scripture?? Honestly, what Chapter, verses, etc.? Thx so much! 🙂
IMO, God sent Jesus to "Save" us from our sin, not to "save" us from the Old Testament.
MATT. 5:17
"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish But to fulfill."
Blessings & understanding to all. ✝️ 🇮🇱
Great question! Here are some scriptures we can turn to:
- In Mark 7:18-19 Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean
- In Acts 10:9-16 God declares to Peter that any food that was previously UNCLEAN is now CLEAN
- Hebrews 10:1-18 and Hebrews 7:26-27 shows that Jesus is the ONCE and FOR ALL Sacrifice - meaning that we are no longer obligated to continue to follow the OT sacrificial laws (if we did then what was Jesus' death sufficient for?)
- Hebrews 10:19 says, we now "have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus” and this is INCREDIBLE because in the Old Testament law this is completely forbidden except for the high priest!
A quote from Timothy Keller: "the coming of Christ changed how we worship, but not how we live. The moral law outlines God’s own character - his integrity, love and faithfulness. Old Testament commandments about loving our neighbor, caring for the poor, being generous with our possessions and being committed to family still apply. The New Testament continues to forbid killing and adultery, and the sexual ethic of the Old Testament is restated throughout the New Testament."
Yes - Jesus came to FUFILL the law for us because we in ourselves could not! But we are still to love God and love people as Jesus commands in Mark 12:30-31: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”
- Matt. 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the "Law" or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
We do this NOT for our salvation but to GLORIFY GOD:
Galatians 2:16
"nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified."
@@coffeeandbibletime In Mark 7, He is saying that all food is clean. What does God consider food? Leviticus 11 tells us. Mark 7 in context is about eating with unwashed hands, not about which animals are clean and unclean. And in Acts 10, the context is that Jews and Gentiles can both come to Jesus. It has nothing to do with actual animals. If it did, I’m sure we would read about Peter telling everyone how God showed them that they can eat all meat, but he didn’t. He told people that God showed him that they shouldn’t call the Gentiles unclean
@@kellyorwig6653 By the Grace and Love of ABBA GOD HOLY SPIRIT you are absolutely right , that is the right context !!!!! Thanks for sharing dear sister !!!!!!! ♥️ From Namrita.
@@kellyorwig6653 Are you saying not all actual foods are clean? i.e. pork?
@@rhoda4621 All food is clean but pork isn’t food. In Leviticus 11, God tells us what food is and isn’t. It’s just like eating a dog or cat. We know those aren’t food and neither are the animals God outlines in His word. Eating unclean meat is an abomination and we are defiled by it. It doesn’t say why certain meat is unclean, but scientifically, they are scavengers and eat dead animals. Shellfish and shrimp are bottom feeders and eat scum. Shrimp has mercury in it as well. It’s not ok to eat just because we cook it and try to get all the toxins out. God says NOT to eat them or even touch their carcass if we can help it. So shouldn’t be obey? He gives us instructions to set us apart from the world. To make us holy. And the dietary instructions are included. Think of this also….unclean meat wasn’t allowed into the Temple. Today, we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Why would it be ok to consume unclean meat into our body, where the Holy Spirit resides?
If & when Jesus changed anything ... where in Scripture does it say this please? Ty so much.
Jesus said, follow me (God's ways), not man's ways.
Jesus followed God's Ways, Laws, Torah & Sabbath.
Man cannot change God's Law.
Man eats Pork, Shellfish & we go to "Church" on Sunday ...
yet God said ...
do not eat Swine's flesh, bottom feeders, scavengers, etc.
(All in Leviticus Ch. 11)
& 4th Commandment, Keep the Sabbath Holy (7th weekday=Sabbath or Shabbat - Fri. Sunset to true Sabbath (Saturday) Sunset.

Messianic Congregations do this weekly Shabbat, Rest from the "World", Fellowship, Oneg (Lunch meal together 🥰) & follow God's Biblical Kosher instructions. (Lev. Ch.11)
I believe in the true Sabbath and not eating pork.
God revealed/opened our eyes to this in 2018.
💞 ✝️ 🇮🇱 🕎 💞
I agree with you too❤❤❤
The OT law fits into three categories. Ceremonial which was fulfilled in Christ and civil how we are to interact with each other and moral which is now under the New Covenant showing fruit of Spirit but not a way of salvation.
Thank you for your insight!
I really appreciate these answers. Unfortunately, the word “love” has gotten skewed and seems to subjective in our society. Can you speak more on that in regards to the Matthew verse?
That's a great question and something I can address in another video!
Hi girls, blessings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! I really love this video!
Jesus didn't come to change. He came to fulfill the OT. (Matthew 5:17) So yes. You should still obey the rules. As a Seventh Day Adventist, I do not eat pork. I obey the OT. God is the same God. He is saying that pork is unclean in Leviticus. But now, Jesus came and pork became clean all of a sudden?
God makes rules to protect us and make us healthy in many ways. Pork is not healthy.
Yes, exactly. The laws for purity no longer apply because Jesus made us pure by his ultimate, once and for all, sacrifice on our behalf. By His stripes we were healed.
Matthew 15:11 is a good verse to read. "It’s not what goes into the mouth that contaminates a person in God’s sight. It’s what comes out of the mouth that contaminates the person.”
Amen I agree with this comment. I am also seventh day Adventist as well.
Interesting topic
Any thoughts on Mark 7:18-19 (Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean) and Acts 10:9-16 (God declares to Peter that any food that was previously unclean is now clean)?
When I said "Jesus changed everything” I am meaning that we are no longer obligated to follow the law because of the finished work He has already done on the cross. Jesus did not literally change the law but after His death and resurrection He changed how we worship and how we relate to God the Father. We now have a NEW mediator to restore our relationship with God.
Romans 7:4-6 "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."
@@coffeeandbibletime I agree that the way we worship is changed. And i agree that what enters your mouth doesn't make you unclean. But when there are many types of foods that are more delicious and way healthier, I dont need pork. What is unclean or clean, God made those rules for our health, not because He was bored and wanted to make some rules. I was a muslim before and learned so much through your channel. I love your Bible study videos and i love you too. But i don't agree about this topic. God Bless You
Well said ✨
Thank you sisters 🙏🏽 We are Saved by Grace through Faith. Jesus Paid it All ♥️
Love these ladies ❤❤
Should we attend church on Saturday which is the Sabbath?
If we are not supposed to change anything in the Bible why are people changing the date of worship? Why do we go to church on Sundays when the Catholic church is the one that started Sundays worshipping. Isn't Sunday for the ones that worshiped the Sun? Please give me some advice because I didn't see anything in the Bible that says keep Sunday holy but I did see keep the Sabbath day holy always.
Yes you should keep Gods 4th commandment. We are to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath holy! Saturday is God’s true Sabbath!
The Catholic Church combined the Sabbath and the Lord’s Day (Resurrection Day) into a single day. The biblical sabbath is on Saturday, whereas Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday morning. Church services are held on Sunday because they determined worship should be held on Resurrection Day. It’s not wrong to observe the combined Sabbath/Lord’s Day, but they were originally separate days. Therefore, I rest on Saturday and worship with my church on Sunday. We can gather and worship the Lord on any day of the week, but I find a lot of joy in setting aside one day to rest in the Lord and another day to celebrate His resurrection. I hope this was helpful for you ❤
I agree. I observe the original Sabbath.
@@briannavaughan8937 Are you a 7th day Adventist?
I have the same question brenda!
I disgree, ladies. I believe that God did not change the food laws to where we should eat pork. Or change the 4th commandment about keeping the Sabbath (Shabbat) holy. I believe in observing the Saturday original Sabbath. I have seen no place in The New Testament that calls pork a food. I also never saw in The New Testament where the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, and that it is ok to work on the Sabbath day. If I am wrong, please enlighten me, Ashley. No fight wanted, just the truth.
I believe this is addressed in Acts ch10: 9-16
Mark 7:18-19 Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean
Acts 10:9-16 God declares to Peter that any food that was previously unclean is now clean
As regards to Sabbath - I think the Bible project article is really good. They say: "As followers of Jesus, God does not expect us to live by Israel’s laws. However, the wisdom of these laws remains, and the law of the Sabbath is rich with significance for us today. Sabbath is not a commandment we are bound to; it’s a promise we’re invited to enjoy."

I subscribed to your channel very recently and this was one of my first videos I watched of yours. I prayed before, and after, my earlier comment to yours explaining that you're taking Bible verses out of context in regards to food laws. You cannot pick a handful of verses out of the middle of a passage to justify your stance. You have to read the whole passage to have appropriate context.
James 3:1-2 states that those teaching the Bible will be held to a higher standard. As someone who is trying to educate people on the Bible you need to be very careful and do your due diligence, lest you lead God's sheep astray.
“Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.”
Acts 10:28
This is the true meaning of Acts 10 clearly stated in the following verses. 😄
Thank you Ashley and mentor mama for the video. However, I disagree with what you say. The only rule that was abolished was the ceremonial laws (feasts, priesthood, sacrifice, etc ...) because Jesus has fulfilled the work already on the cross. But all the commands from old testament are still valid and complement perfectly the new testament commands. Follower of Christ are ought to be set apart and follow the commands to live clean and holy life just as people from the old testament.
Pork is unclean animal. We should read the whole chapter to understand the context (Mar 7: 18-19) It doesn't talk about food, even Peter knew that it was unclean to eat it so he said that, plus he didn't eat it even in his vision, later on he understood it was about the gentiles and jews considered clean and unclean people and it tells how God doesn't discriminate people. It was not about food at all. You may check this YT link as well for more explanation backed up with bible verse : th-cam.com/video/NAxT0fYdGP4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you and may God bless us as we seek to know the truth from His word.
God wants us to keep the sabbath it’s a holy commandment for all time even in Heaven we will keep the sabbath.
Omg these video's are always inspirational to me thank you for everything that you post because it empowers me over and over again. 😁❤
More Scripture we can turn to:
- In Mark 7:18-19 Jesus shares with His disciples that all foods are clean
- In Acts 10:9-16 God declares to Peter that any food that was previously UNCLEAN is now CLEAN
- Hebrews 10:1-18 and Hebrews 7:26-27 shows that Jesus is the ONCE and FOR ALL Sacrifice - meaning that we are no longer obligated to continue to follow the OT sacrificial laws (if we did then what was Jesus' death sufficient for?)
- Hebrews 10:19 says, we now "have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus” and this is INCREDIBLE because in the Old Testament law this is completely forbidden except for the high priest!
A quote from Timothy Keller: "the coming of Christ changed how we worship, but not how we live. The moral law outlines God’s own character - his integrity, love and faithfulness. Old Testament commandments about loving our neighbor, caring for the poor, being generous with our possessions and being committed to family still apply. The New Testament continues to forbid killing and adultery, and the sexual ethic of the Old Testament is restated throughout the New Testament."
Jesus came to FUFILL the law for us because we in ourselves could not! But we are still to love God and love people as Jesus commands in Mark 12:30-31: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”
- Matt. 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the "Law" or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
We do this NOT for our salvation but to GLORIFY GOD:
Galatians 2:16
"nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified."
NEW COVENANT:
Hebrews 9:15 - Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
Luke 22:20 - And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
Hebrews 8:13 - In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Jeremiah 31:33 - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
So many of the comments below seem to come from people who believe Christians are ought to obey the OT laws (specifically the 10 commandments). I also had the same belief as a former Seventh Day Adventist. I would say the same arguments in favor of keep the 10 commandments and I genuinely didn’t understand why other Christians didn’t keep the 4th one..
But only when I started reading what the new testament says about the old one, I could see that new covenant believers are no longer bound to the 10 commandments and the rest of the OT laws. I would highly recommend reading Galatians (especially chapters 3 and 4), Romans 7:1-6, Hebrews 8.
The Bible says that going back to the old covenant laws is spiritual adulatory - we can’t embrace Jesus and the law at the same time. Jesus came to fulfill the law and bring something better. We no longer have to live under the bondage of keeping OT laws but instead walk in the Spirit. OT Jews did not have Holy Spirit living in them like New Covenant believers do. Jesus’s death and resurrection changed everything - and we can rejoice in that. ☺️
Regarding the observance of Sabbath - Romans 14:1-6. We have freedom to observe a day for the Lord but saying that if someone doesn’t keep the Sabbath, they will receive the mark of the beast (in Revelation) is simply not in the Bible. Unbelievers will receive the mark of the beast but not Christians going to church on Sunday. And just to note - I don’t believe I’m keeping Sunday by going to church in that day 🙂 It’s simply a day when Jesus was resurrected and when believers gather to worship. It’s not a new Sabbath or changed from Saturday to Sunday.
Colossians 2:16-17 says that “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” These are a shadow but the reality is found in Christ - by holding onto the shadows, we miss the real thing.
Are you saying that we are no longer to obey the law and that we can murder, lie, steal not keep the Sabbath day holy, etc.?
of course I’m not saying that we can murder, lie, or steal.. As Ashley referred to Matthew 22 we are to love God and others - this looks so much more than just 10 commandments. For the New Covenant believers, there are guidelines all over the New Testament books about how to live and love God and others. Can for example being patient or self-controlled be fully explained within the 10 commandments? It is not just don’t muder or don’t steal, it’s so much more - in our every day lives when we are led by the Holy Spirit, He tells us when and how to be patient and self-controlled. It’s all the process of santification and cannot be summarized into 10 commandments. Holy Spirit convicts us and leads us how to live a holy life - what we need to do is to abide in Jesus by reading His word. He renews our mind, our desires, our behaviour. It is a mystery how God works in a believer but He does. We can see it in the fruit of that person which is so much more than just law keeping.
I’ve heard somewhere that legalism is a short cut to holiness and it really is.. As an SDA I believed that by keeping the 10 commandments I was pleasing God, but Jesus calls us to a higher level of morality. Not just don’t kill but don’t be angry at your brother. Jesus Himself said: “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28
This complete change of heart is not possible by keeping the 10, only by the divine power of Spirit Himself.
@@domizatkova2489 Yes, the Ten Commandments do not outline everything, however, I feel that we are still to obey as best as possible, though that, of course, does not save us. I have a question, though since you quoted the scripture. I have never understood what the Bible means when it says that calling someone a fool puts them in danger of hell fire. Why?
Great points! Thank you for highlighting those scriptures too!
I am a former SDA as well and I'm so happy to see your comment. Thank you for sharing this. In addition to the texts you mentioned regarding the Sabbath, I'd love to add Hebrews 4 that give us a fuller meaning of Sabbath in the new covenant as resting in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Verses 9-11 say "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience." The Sabbath is so much more than just keeping a day and we have the liberty to choose whatever day we worship in Christ. If we seek to be saved by keeping the sabbath by striving to keep any other OT laws we have missed the point (Galatians 5). The purpose of the law was to point us to Christ . Galatians 3:24-26 "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith."
Can you do a video on how to do Bible study on procreate. I would love to buy your course and love how it’s digital and the software you use but don’t know how to use pro create
So then the question would be how do we love God? The scripture says that we know that we are coming to love and know him if we keep his commandments 1 John 2:3. not keeping them to acquire salvation that’s only through Jesus but how we love God now that we are saved through Jesus!
We keep his commandments but we are under the new covenant Law by the blood of Jesus 🙏❤️🙏John 14:6-7
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
@@gsweets yes I agree I just wanted to make sure people understood that we still keep his commands not for salvation but from salvation!
@@bravemac8612 Yes!
I just want to clarify for anyone who may not understand. The Bible says in 1 John 3:23 that His commandment is to believe on Jesus and follow what he tells us. Not to keep the old covenant law.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. - 1 John 3:22-24
@@TeeSoFree yes agreed! The old covenant laws are different from the commandments that Jesus said he didn’t come to do away with! Do not kill is a commandment that isn’t done away with do not covet is a commandment that isn’t done away with as well as sabbath which is part of the commandments not the old covenant laws. So the commandments hang on two which is love the Lord your God and love you neighbour and the Ten Commandments show us practically what that looks like! It’s not keeping them for salvation but from salvation. Because we are saved we have a heart of flesh and can now keep the commandments out of love and not from a place of trying to get salvation. Salvation is only through Yeshua!
Hi guys! Why trhere is no shipment of your products in Croatia?
Thank you for this ! I'm a baby in faith ❤
I love you no matter what by the Power of True Holy Spirit. Amen. Thanks
I highly encourage you to do a cover to cover study and pray for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth and to help you understand. Just because 99% of Christians believe we don’t have to follow the OT law anymore, doesn’t mean it’s true. Read and study in context. Do a lot of cross referencing and let Scripture interpret Scripture
What is taught in this video is truth. Jesus is the only way, not our own works. I used to try to follow the law and became bound by so many spirits that God had to fight to free me. It was BAD. I can't wait to share my testimony. Stand firm in the gospel that you accepted when you accepted Christ and don't let anyone or anything take you away from that.
@@TeeSoFree Yes, Jesus is the only way to the Father. We are saved through Him and not our works, but the definition of sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). The law tells us what sin is and when we disobey His instructions, we are sinning. But we show God that we love Him by keeping His commandments (John 15). Obedience is the fruit of our salvation, not the root. Once we are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, He will give us a new heart and cause us to want to obey the Fathers Laws. This is the new covenant
@@kellyorwig6653 I used to believe these very things so I certainly get it but God has revealed the truth to me. If you read further in 1 John 3:22-24 it will tell you that the commandment of God we are told to follow is to believe on the name of Jesus and love one another. The Bible also says that the law is fulfilled in one thing: love. We are to believe in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation, and the Holy Spirit gives us the power to follow the command to love. The love that God requires us to have for one another can only come through His Spirit. I pray that God will give you more understanding as He has given me. The reading of the old covenant is blinding many people's minds to the truth. It tells us this in 2 Corinthians 3. We are to follow the Holy Spirit, not the letter of the law. God bless you. I pray that anyone who reads this will seek God and His Word alone for understanding. As followers of Christ, we are not under the old covenant but the new.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. - 1 John 3:22-24
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. - Galatians 5:14
Also Read 2 Corinthians 3 (Whole Chapter)
You just hit my soul literally thank you so much! I know you made this video 5 months ago. I am just no watching and feel so good! I didn’t understand new and Old Testament. Due to this I was beginning to feel so much guilt for sins I was committing. I was thinking I was not right for the forgiveness of god. I thought so much painful things about death. Literally you just changed my life. God bless you your family and everyone you come in counter with. I know you don’t have a large following but please keep these videos. You just saved me so much stress heartache and feelings of not being worthy of Jesus Christ! I say this to and I have been in church for all 18 years of my life! Thank you so much god is so great and works through so many people! Love you and keep going your are called by Jesus Christ!
This video has been on my mind for a week straight now (not even kidding) that's how powerful of a thought you put in my head. It really made me stop and think. Sometimes when I read the old and new testament in the same bible study, i contradict myself and get confused by God's message :(
Where does it say that pork is no longer an abomination, that it's no longer unclean?
Loved this, thank you ❤
Very well said. Amazing explanation.
No where in Scripture does it say the Old Covenant is abolished. Jesus spoke about keeping the Commandments from Exodus 20. 1John5 tells us His Commandments are not burdensome and if we love Him, we keep His laws-His Commandments. And Paul in Acts 21:24 we see Paul keeping the law. Romans 7:12 says the Law is holy, just and good.The law is necessary to enlighten our insufficiency, and deficiency. It exposes our imperfections and proves to us how unable we are to meet God's standards.We see how desperately we need our Savior Jesus.We no longer have need for the Ceremonial laws-Jesus fulfilled them. But if you're going to ignore God's law, you in effect are referring to removing the first 5 books of the Bible -The Torah. Good luck with that.
I appreciate your perspective,
I am not saying in this video that the law is wrong or bad - but what I am saying is that what we could not do to fulfill the law perfectly Jesus Christ did for us and we can rest on His salvific work on the cross.
I love the OT and the Torah. I believe it points to Christ. He fulfilled the law.
Thank you ashley and mentor mama for this interesting video! It came right on time 💕i was asking myself if i should keep the Sabbath (The fact that church is doing it on Sunday also , and some Christians say that we should not..saturday is the true rest day )..
And revelation 14:12
The OT law set me free from sin
Salvation only comes through Jesus Christ.
@@painthenhope yeah I have faith in Jesus but the law of liberty like it says in james helped me to know what sin was. I saw that I was Sinning and I stopped. Haven’t gone back because I continued in the teaching of Jesus which says there are those who teach others to not keep the moral law and there are those who teach it. They will either be called last or greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19
And as for paying tithing? And celebrating the official Biblical Feasts? Do we still have to do that? I don't mean Christmas or Easter, because those are originally Pagan festivals. But the Biblical feasts from Levitivus 23. In a New Testament way? And baptism? Is that still in force? And the Sabbath? That was the fourth commandment of the 10 commandments. I mean the Sabbath on Saturday. Not what the Church has made of it by shifting it to Sunday. I really struggle with these things. Paul is not clear. He seems to contradict himself.
i truly wished i could join the blible academy.Wonderfully said and explaied
❤ God's word doesn't change. It's the same yesterday, today & tomorrow. ✝️ 🇮🇱 🕎
Jesus followed the Torah & kept Sabbath Holy, if it's good enough for Him, it's good for me as a believer.
We are Messianic (born-again) believers & follow Torah. ie; God's food laws (instructions-Lev. Ch. 11).
& keep Sabbath (Saturday) (set-apart) Holy. People seemed to miss The 4th Commandment.

It sounds confusing. Did the question of following the old testament get answered? Is it a yes or no.?

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.

Hebrews 10:26-31
New International Version
26 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,”[a] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[b] 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The bible says keeping the commandments is the love of God. They aren't done away with. This is so wrong! Resting is not the way to enter into the straight and narrow gate. People watching this please don't kick back and rest. Run the race that is set before you. And prove all things! This is very lukewarm and false. His commandments aren't burdensome. They are liberty.
Resting from the "World" - set-apart from the "World" & study & worship with other believers on Sabbath/Shabbat.
Rest in His Holy Word, keep from making others work also.
This helped me "keep Sabbath Holy".
Hope this helps in some way. 💞✝️
Yes, according to the 4th, the Sabbath rest is also commanded. It is the sign of God's people. I observe the Friday to Saturday Sabbath. I was referring to the way rest was implied in the video. Hope that clarifies.
The whole Bible is what I live by, it’s not hard. Why believe you only now have to abide by the New Testament?
Yes and no…moral laws ,yes, ceremonial/ritual laws , no
But how did you determine that morals laws are to be apply and not ritual/ceremonials laws ! All of them are from God so why doing one and not the other ?
Agree 52Tracker
Correct!✅️ And that includes the 10 Commandments.

Keeping The Sabbath (Saturday) Holy (set-apart) from other days of week.

But in the Bible it says he did not come to change the law!
I love you guys and I been watching you for years but I think I may have to disagree with you on this one. In a previous comment you referred to Acts 10 as OK to eat pork, But that is not what Acts 10 is about, its about God telling Peter that Gentiles are clean. Read the whole chapter, its about Cornelius. He was a gentile who followed Gods law. Righteous in God's sight (because he followed Gods law). He told Cornelius to send 2 ppl to where Peter was staying. Peter has the vision of animals on a sheet. God told him to eat. Now Peter will no way eat because he KNEW that God already said not to eat. When Jesus was on earth he did not teach against the law. He did not teach to eat unclean meat. So this left Peter confused. See a Jew would NEVER go into a Gentiles Home. No way. It was unclean. Never. So when they knocked at his door God told Peter to go with them. Can you imagine? How scared, confused Peter must have been. He head game going on in his head on his way there...wow. When he gets to Cornelius' house he sees that Cornelius is following Gods law and is righteous and is not a Jew. Then He know...Gentiles are accepted by God also. Its sad because its one of the most amazing stories about Gentiles being included in the kingdom and we reduced it to meat.
If sin is transgression of the law, what law are they talking about? Gods law. Its a slippery slope because people can easily replace Jesus' sacrifice with the law. But we cant do the law. Thats why Jesus came - NOT TO SAVE US FROM THE LAW - PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT. ITS TO SAVE US FROM THE curse OF THE LAW. DEATH.
I follow Jesus and I do my very best to follow Torah. But I suck at it sometimes. I do sabbath on Friday to Saturday and I had to LEARN to rest and its amazing because God shows up and shows out with me. Its personal and intimate. I also do the feasts which are amazing and fun and God comes and spends time with me. More than any other time. They are special. Most of the law is pretty easy to follow but people get hung up on sabbath and feasts and meat. Doesnt that sound crazy? This is not a salvation issue at all. Nope. Nada. Its a deeper relationship with God.
We dont have to follow Torah. We get to. Thank you Jesus because now there is no Jew and no Gentile. We are One in Messiah. God is still the same tho...today, yesterday and forever. XOXO
God is the same today, tomorrow, and always! I think people are missing the point! The laws in the old Testament were meant to be followed in order for men/sinners to be cleansed and saved from sin/death! Jesus came and paid the sin for us! Jesus followed the OT laws, while ministering, because he was perfectly clean from sin! Once He died he took away the need to follow the old rituals because we are now clean! We can not earn our way into heaven! We have to truly believe that Jesus is our savior and paid all our debt! We are to find rest in Jesus everyday! Jesus is our Sabbath everyday!
Great video!
This was so good because it's a tough one to understand sometimes. You made it easier to understand. I have Jewish friends who still follow the Old Testament which is good for them and they understand it so well. Thank you for your answers today Ashley...very clear and succinct!

I found a church
Eating pork was a health law. It was not part of the sacrificial system that was fulfilled when Jesus died. I guess you are saying we are not bound by the 10 commandments now?
❤ IMO, as I understand it ...
It's the Old & New "Testament", not old & new "Covenant".
The New Testament is the enhancement of the Old Testament - Fulfillment of the Old Testament. (Tanak & Torah)
Tanak=Old Testament
Torah=First 5 books of Bible.
Torah-means teaching, also translated = "Law".
JESUS said ... in
Matt. 5:17
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the "Law" or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
The ceremonial laws will be fulfilled when Jesus comes back at the Temple. If I understand it correctly.
Matt. 5:18
"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
Blessings & understanding to all. 💕
Thank you ❤

Interesting topic
Then what would be different today? Is GOD not still GOD?...Does not the same GOD still desire to have a relationship with us today? Is HE not the same HOLY GOD in the New Testament? Malachi 3:6-10 KJV...For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 1 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. John 14:15-17 If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. And MATTHEW 5:17...Be Blessed...
Not according to scripture; Because if you follow the Mosaic law that God gave to the Israelites and that Jesus fulfilled on the cross; then Christ died in vain. Gal. 2:21 …if righteousness come by the law then Christ died in vain. John 1:17 the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Romans 6:14 …for we are not under the law but under grace. And there are so many more scriptures that prove we are not to follow a law that was given to the Israelites. But that doesn’t take away the fact that Jesus is our example and we are to live our lives or behave in a godly manner. Romans 15:4 says what was written before was written for our learning not our living. Also Hebrews 7-10 explains how Jesus Christ came and brought in a new covenant/ testament. Good question
Are you saying that we are not to obey The Ten Commandments anymore? We can murder, steal, lie, not keep The Sabbath, etc.?
@Cle mentina Lol!
Matthew 5:17 states that Jesus did not come to abolish the law and the prophets.
I hate to say it, but for me personally, the New Testament is SO much easier for me to understand and comprehend compared to the old testament. Old Testament goes so far over my head sometimes :/
Hello everyone just felt lead to share these 2 verses in The Book Of Revelations: Mind everyone,,,,, " that's the very last book in our know History concerning humanity!
Revelations Chapter 12: 16 reads: And the dragon was worth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ....!
Revelation Chapter 14: 12 reads: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God,and the faith of Jesus.
Good answer!!
Before Torah was given, God told Noah in Genisis 9:2 "All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power. I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables"
First of all, there are 7 covenants, not only 2. Second of all, you speak about Israel like this is not for us, but if we accept Jesus, we are Israel (Galatians 3:26-29). When Jesus came, nothing changed, accept He paid for transgressing the law.
The principle from Old and New Testament never changed. Salvation can only come from faith, it was never intended otherwise. But by keeping the commandments we declare that He is our God (Deuteronomy 26:17-18). The reason for the commandments is to set ourselves apart for God, as He delivered us from Egypt (from sin). Keeping the commandments should be our response to his grace. In Deuteronomy 6:20-21 God explains us that we keep the feasts (and the commandments) to show the rest of the world He saved us! Rejecting the law is rejecting God and walking in the flesh (Romans 8:7). The law reveals the character of God and is a great gift, it is given to give us benefit (Deuteronomy 5:29).
Isaiah already prophesied that one day we would reject Gods law which is the entire Torah (Isaiah 30:8-9). Matthew 22 is a literal quotation from Deuteronomy 30:10. Loving God with all your heart means keeping the entire Torah. Read also Deuteronomy 5:29.
Don't think about the Torah like "all these rules". If we really find out who God is from Torah, because he is revealed in Torah (John 5:46), we would fall in love with Torah. Read Psalm 119.
His work is not finished on the cross. He still needs to come back and eliminate sin (which is transgression of the law).
Even Jesus warned us that if we not obey the law (being lawless) He will say He never knew us (Matthew 7:21-23). And how to we establish that He is our God? Keeping His commandments (Deuteronomy 26:17-18)
Jesus made the law complete, same word is used with someone filled with the holy Spirit. If someone if filled with the Holy Spirit, he still needs the holy Spirit, but if Jesus fulfilled the law, we don't need the law anymore?
Jesus is our example. We should walk as He walked (1 John 2:6). If He is keeping the law, and we are not keeping it, we are not walked as He did, we are rejecting Him.
If you reject the law if you don't know Jesus, you would die. If you still reject the law after Gods grace, it is even worse (Hebrews 10:28)
In paradise the serpent (devil) questioned the authority of God and assured us we would not die (God says, if you sin, you will die). Now the devil tries to convince us we don't need to listen to God (His law), because we won't die. Do you believe the scripture of the serpent?
Yes I feel like we should because it's in the Bible and if we can let's try because some of the things we can't avoid due to our daily lives we try to obey the Bible as best as we can and some of the old laws
I believe in not eating pork and still observing the true Saturday Sabbath. I see no place in the New Testament that says to stop these things, unless I am misunderstanding things, but I don't see how.
Who is the New Covenant with?
It's sad you don't realize that your telling people to disobey their Creator while at the same time saying he is your God.
Biblically is it wrong to cut your hair in the New Testament? I was raised Pentecostal and I worry about ME wearing pants and wearing makeup. I still haven’t cut my hair.
It is not wrong to cut your hair. It is not wrong to wear pants or makeup. That is legalism (strict adherence to laws and rules). We live in the grace of God who came to set us free! We are to love God and love our neighbors through the grace of Jesus Christ.
@@coffeeandbibletime Thank you! Sometimes the weight of my hair really effects my neck and I’ve been struggling for a while on what to do. Honestly when I pray I feel bad to cut it but i get confused on what is God speaking and what is how I was raised if that makes sense.
I am currently a Pentecostal and I follow this not cutting hair, no makeup or pants etc, and I do not see it as legalism. I see it as trying to live a holy life apart from the things of this world to get closer to God, because I do not follow a religion but a relationship with God. The word says that without holiness and peace with all, it is impossible to please God and that we must not conform to this world. How can I be different if I look just like every other person here who wears pants and makeup etc. BUT everyone has their own relationship with God and serves Him in their own way, so how I serve Him may not look like how others serve Him. My only advice is to pray, and if you feel guilty about it that might be the Holy Spirit convicting you because He is the one that guides us. My Pastors always tell me that the more I let go of things in this world, the closer I will get to God and I truly do see this in my life. He says we must deny ourselves daily and pick up our cross and follow Him. God bless you my sisters, we are all just trying to serve a holy and righteous God and we must allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. 💜
Why don't you girls drink coffee in your videos? It's in the name
Yes and No,
The law of his God is in his heart and none of his step shall slide, through Christ we not under the law no more the law is what lead a sinner to Jesus and the new law is gotta love your neighbor the law of God lead us in Rightness.
Short answer: no
Long answer: if we pick and choose which laws of the OT to follow and which not, the bible as a while becomes useless
No, read the OT. That god is psychotic. At least Jesus makes sense and has a good message.
Only the ten commands that God gave Moses. Much of what is written are rules made by faricees.
Modern christianity is false. Here's why:
Biblical redemption was ONLY from the curse of the old covenant law.
That law was ONLY given to old Covenant Israel and has not existed for nearly two thousand years.
No one alive today was ever under that law or its curse.
The law was never your schoolmaster.
You were not kept under the law.
Did Christ redeem you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3? Impossible.
You've NEVER committed any transgressions under the old covenant. Haha
Yes I feel like we should because it's in the Bible and if we can let's try because some of the things we can't avoid due to our daily lives we try to obey the Bible as best as we can and some of the old laws
Jesus came so that we don’t have to be under the bondage of the OT laws! The Bible says the New covenant is better than the old one and we should not go back to it. The old covenant was simply not sufficient - we couldn’t make our selves clean and holy through obeying the law. Only through Jesus’s sacrifice are we made clean and redeemed. :)
IMO ...
Jesus came to save us from our Sin, not save us from the OT.
There is a difference.
Blessings & understanding to all. 💞 ✝️ 🕎
Please study Paul’s letters and the Gospel message. We are unable in our flesh to follow the Law perfectly. Jesus’ perfect life was given on our account when we believed. We now serve in the way of the Spirit, not the written Law. Which means we obey commands which show God’s character, but we don’t have to strive to obey the ceremonial commands.
@@domizatkova2489 Not saying I dont believe you, but can you possibly site the book in the new testament, chapter and verse to where it says the new testament is better than the old one? Just curious, thanks :)
