I agree. There is a huge difference in motivation between the two statements. To keep the law to be saved then you aren't acceptable to God or righteous before God unless you earn that right by keeping the law. This is of the flesh. You place God in your debt by keeping the law. You are conditionally accepted by God, depending on how well you have kept the law. Such thinking leads people into all sorts of disfunction including addictions. But faith in Christ is what redeems us. Repentance and Faith in His crucifixion and resurrection. Then we receive the Holy Spirit. Then we are righteous. Then we behave as a child of God and follow Jesus, observing his commandments. We obey out of gratitude and belief we are totally acceptable to God because of Christ's work, not our own works. It is an unconditional acceptance by a loving heavenly Father. Such thinking produces healthy behavior. it's the same in raising our own earthly children. Christ emphasized faith in Him, not observance of the law. I said "emphasized". Count how many times he said "believe in me as the Messiah" vs how many times he said to obey the Mosaic law. Faith wins out by far. "28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” 30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]” 32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.” 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” Read Acts 15, the council at Jerusalem settled this very question, if you must obey, for salvation, the Mosaic law and be circumcised. (guys this will really relieve you :) ) Read it. Know your scripture and your God. Acts 15:5-11 "5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, 'The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.' " [Isn't that what is being taught here on this video?] "6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: 'Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are. ' ” Declaring Paul as a fraud puts you on dangerous ground by taking away from God's word, IMO.
Hi I am a Christian and I listened to the whole video. God is leading me on the path of truth concerning his Torah, Sabbath and festivals and I just wanted to let you know I was truly edified. God is raising up a generation of Christians who will no longer walk in the deception of our generation but seek after his kingdom and his truth. God bless you.
Acts 21:25 "As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication" this was settled 2000 years ago...time after time we are told that gentile believers DO NOT have to follow the law.. how dare anyone try to add to the work of Jesus Christ
AndTheTruth ShallMakeYouFree First of all let me enlighten you on the part that Jesus said do not think that i have come to abolish the law or the prophets now the word fulfill its clearly you mistaken it by thinking it's done away with now if you continue reading it say till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled.... now is the heaven and earth still here yesss very much so why a you people misinterpreting the words of Jesus himself. Jesus fulfilled what was spoken of him he was to make a better covenant on sacrifices n offerings he became the high priest as prophesied we no longer have to kill animals for forgiveness he became the ultimate sacrifice but the laws of God still stands untill all a fulfilled and it was clear that the sacrifices n offerings only were perfected cause it was weak on sacrificing all the time you sinned. Now the confusion comes in with pauls letters and peter warns people that his letters contain some things that are hard to understand which ignorant and unstable people distort as they do to other scriptures to the own destruction (2peter 1:3 ,15,16) I just wanna touch on main points to clarify more that the love of God is keeping the commandments If you go to last book on revelation 22:14 it clearly says blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life. I wanna take you to a future prophecy and clearly show you that even the sabbath it being part of the commandments is the only holy day of God Isaiah (56:2-7 upon blessings) Isaiah(66:22-23 future prophecy) when God makes the new heaven and earth the new moon and the sabbath will still remain before him. Paul kept the sabbath Acts 13:42,44 and chapter 17:2 I don't mean that you go to SDA but the sabbath must be kept and the laws stand let no man read the Bible out of context may you seek the truth and it shall set you free remember Sunday was brought by constantine the worship of the sun god read the history. Doing away with the laws then what don't pick and choose scriptures is supposed to be read line upon line here a little and there alittle. Now the below scriptures denys what you people a after breaking Gods laws you read that verse 14 and that's it if you continue reading what does is it say God Forbid. Very clear 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid Romans 6:14-15 | KJV Another verse you people pick n choose only verse 28 but if you continue reading to verse 31 it strikes out everything. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:28-31 | KJV Shalom brother.
NovaGamer300 they didn’t have to do those things to become Christians. The church was predominantly of the tribes at this time and those 4 things were to be done for table fellowship because these were pagan practices.
Remembering the Sabbath has brought so much joy and resolution to my body, soul and Spirit. I, too, look forward to it each week. The rest and calming time with God is unbelievable. I wish I was taught to do so when I was younger growing up in the Church.
yes the commands of Jesus who is the complete law and commands us to follow the spirit the law cannot save you only jesus can- your works are dead in the law
Isn't it wonderful when the veil is lifted from your eyes? You see Yahweh's Festivals as the fulfillment of prophecy that was fulfilled and is yet to be. The joy of knowing that the law is NOT burdensome. It is a blessing, as Yahweh promised! His words to those who love Him is comforting, assuring, and truth. The Shabbat is looked forward to with gladness. That He teaches you, through His law (Torah) how to worship Him and that doing so, with gladness, shows Him you really do love Him. Only Yeshua kept the Torah perfectly. He knows if we try and want with all our hearts to keep it, and never give up. We should be humbled before Him always, knowing we cannot be perfect and righteous in this life. Yet, seek his forgiveness when you step to the left or to the right. Praise Him for all that He does for you and for His mercy. Walk the walk that one day will be fulfilled when He says ... Well, done. And you receive the crown of everlasting life and righteousness that we cannot obtain in this fleshly body.... Praise Yahweh! Keep that in sight no matter what.
+ Jennifer Cooper I prepare all the food on Friday and on Saturday I just have a rest. I am hitting up the food because I have electric cooker and I don't think it qualifies for lighting a fire. I let Holy Spirit to lead me through Torah. Because Shabbat is for man not man for Shabbat :-)
Actually the not lighting a fire command was a ritual, so Yahweh is telling us not to do other rituals as the shabbath is a day of rest, so e.g light a fire in the oven to keep warm (if you live in a cold country) is not what is intended with this command. "propergunjah" also has a point with using electricity, however, many believers do as the jews and prepare the meals on thursday so that they can just heat them before shabbath and get a day of rest instead of stress.
Buckeye Bike if righteousness came by the law, Christ died in vain. Christ is our saboth. Israel stopped believing in the saboth and brought the lame for a sin offering. Christ said, "Abraham knew my day and was glad." Dying in your sin means that you do not believe in His sacrifice for sin, therefore your going to pay the price instead of believing he paid the price. We can't keep the law, period! Christ fulfilled the law. The law is still in full force. www.perfect-sacrifice.com
We find rest in Jesus and also the sabbath was to keep holy one day a week. With the new covenant we keep every single day Holy with Christ as our rest. You want to stay in the old covenant. You have tasted the old wine and say there is no need for the new.
Why are you calling people names? The fact that you have people trying to explain the new covenant to you and you simply attack shows you lack humility and love for truth. With out humility the scriptures will remain secret to you and as long as you don't love truth God will not reveal truth to you. Jesus purposely worked on Saturday to show that they had the sabbath all wrong. With Christ our standards are higher than what Moses brought trough the law. One day Holy with Moses while with Christ every day is a sabbath. I don't understand why it doesn't make sense to you brother. Stop being hard hearted and pray about it, God Himself will reveal this to you. Don't take my word but seek the scriptures like the bereans and if you love truth God will show your. Cheers brothers I'm done replying here
All of my Christian friends think that The Messiah has given them "grace" to no longer live with our Father's Instructions. They think that following the Roman worship day is their "Sabbath". When I try to show them that we must keep His Instructions, and tell them that I keep Sabbath; they dirft away from me and stop being my friend.
If your "Christian" friends are American that would explain a lot for Americans are not satisfied with just one Heavenly Father! No! They have dozens of founding Fathers! No wonder America is cursed! The Sabbath follows the lunar-solar calendar of God ... The Sun the greater light the moon the lesser light ...The month begins on the New Moon. The Weekly Sabbaths follow the illuminations of teh moon ergo work 6 rest 7th add the new moon and you come to the 8th day of the new month being the 1st weekly sabbath ... then the 8th then 22nd then 29 ... that is how the Israelites worked for 7 days at Jericho ...
I'm just learning about about Torah and just how narrow the gaits really are! I've started Sabbath for 2 weeks and yes I am starting to stand out! I pray Yahushah continues to open my eyes to walk like Him.
i was condemned by the law, not knowing the love of our father. and being lost with the false religions. i tried to change and failed, at the point of giving up, i received love and grace. which i could not have ever experienced in this world. then learning to love god has led me back to observing the law, but now i see it is yahweh's loving way of looking after his people, i love this law now, it reads completely differently to me than before
Matthew 5:17-20 The Fulfillment of the Law 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. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
***** at the time this was written Christianity did not exist . Jesus was a Jew and he was speaking as a Jew about the laws and the prophets that were given to him as a Jew, you somehow missed that part. he was giving a strict warning NOT to change even the stock of pen from the laws that were given to him.
Jesus said, "If you love me keep my commandments." So if we love Jesus then we must keep/obey the commandments. How can God judge us all in the end if He does not have His laws given? Remember, God is just.
You have a very narrow view of the Scriptures. You've neglected the majority of Romans and Galatians, along with Philippians 3 and 2 Corinthians 3. Fulfillment of the Law has been replaced by being led by the Spirit. .Romans 10:4 "Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Galatians 5:6 "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love."
isn't it incredible how some people interpret Scriptures. the new testament repeatedly warns against teach the old law. Acts 15 is so clear... Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: SUBVERTING YOUR SOULS!!!
Man made law is done away with but the instructions and guidelines of our Creator are never done away with. Learn what the word Law means and that there is more than one understanding.
Thehealthwatchman Oh. So, when was the last time you sacrificed in the Temple? James 2:10 affirms the unity of the Law. I understand that there are different meanings for the term νομος. And I've studied all passages in the NT concerning the Law. It can refer to "a power at work", "inherent sense of morality", "civil law", or the Mosaic Law. However, when referring to the Mosaic law, the NT authors are pretty clear that the Law was intended to point people to Christ by revealing their inability to keep the Law (aka sin). The Mosaic Law was to be replaced by the Spirit, in something known as the New Covenant. Galatians 3 rips your argument apart. There, it is clearly talking about the Mosaic Law. In Romans, Paul is also very clear that the Law cannot justify and it cannot sanctify. Then, he demonstrates that the righteous requirements of the Law are fulfilled in those who walk by the Spirit. The only problem with your position is that the Bible disagrees with you.
Matthew 5:17-19 "UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE DESTROYED NOT ONE LETTER OF THE LAW SHALL PERISH". Luke 13:23-24 and 28, “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able ... There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.” Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ The parents of John, and the prophet Job were called perfect or "Kept the law without fault". Salvation is not free. Peter said it takes people many trials to get to Heaven.
Its me again. True deidicated Christains do their best to keep all the comandments of their God. As humans, it is imposible to do it perfectly. But this is what God's Grace is for.
Faith in Jesus is the way to heaven but your good works is evidence of your faith. You can't have one without the other. They both naturally go together.
+Jen M The New Covenant of the Messiah: Jer 31:31 (31:30) "Here, the days are coming," says Adonai, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra'el and with the house of Y'hudah. (The day will come when God will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah.) Jer 31:32 (31:31) It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them," says Adonai. (The New Covenant will not be like the Old Covenant.) Jer 31:33 (31:32) "For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra'el after those days," says Adonai: "I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people. Jer 31:34 (31:33) No longer will any of them teach his fellow community member or his brother, 'Know Adonai'; for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest; because I will forgive their wickednesses and remember their sins no more." Fulfillment of the New Covenant: Heb 8:6 But now the work Yeshua has been given to do is far superior to theirs, just as the covenant he mediates is better. For this covenant has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises. (The New Covenant of Yeshua is superior to the Mosaic Covenant.) Heb 8:7 Indeed, if the first covenant had not given ground for faultfinding, there would have been no need for a second one. (If the Old Covenant had been prefect there would not have been a need for the New Covenant.) Heb 8:8 For God does find fault with the people when he says, " 'See! The days are coming,' says Adonai, 'when I will establish over the house of Isra'el and over the house of Y'hudah a new covenant. (The New Covenant was made with the House of Israel and Judah.) Heb 8:9 " 'It will not be like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by their hand and led them forth out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, did not remain faithful to my covenant; so I, for my part, stopped concerning myself with them,' says Adonai. (The New Covenant is not like the Old Covenant and because Israel broke the Mosaic Covenant, God no longer considers them under it.) Heb 8:10 " 'For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Isra'el after those days,' says Adonai: 'I will put my Torah in their minds and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people. (He writes his law inside of us through His Holy Spirit.) Heb 8:11 " 'None of them will teach his fellow-citizen or his brother, saying, "Know Adonai!" For all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest, Heb 8:12 because I will be merciful toward their wickednesses and remember their sins no more.' " Heb 8:13 By using the term, "new," he has made the first covenant "old"; and something being made old, something in the process of aging, is on its way to vanishing altogether. (The Old Covenant has become obsolete.)
Foods, Feast Days and Sabbath: Col 2:16 So don't let anyone pass judgment on you in connection with eating and drinking, or in regard to a Jewish festival or Rosh-Hodesh or Shabbat. Col 2:17 These are a shadow of things that are coming, but the body is of the Messiah. (No one is to judge you in foods, or feast days, or Sabbaths.)
Circumcision: Rom_2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom_2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Gal_6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
The New Commandment of the Messiah: Joh_13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (This is a new commandment from Christ, and is not of the Old Covenant.)
Joh_15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (There are two different types of commandments given here. There are the commandments of Yeshua, which we are to keep and there are those of the Mosaic Covenant, which only Yeshua was able to keep for us.)
Cast out the Old Covenant of Slavery: Gal 4:23 The one by the slave woman was born according to the limited capabilities of human beings, but the one by the free woman was born through the miracle-working power of God fulfilling his promise. (Paul is using the examples of Hagar and Sarah to compare the Old Covenant to the New.) Gal 4:24 Now, to make a midrash on these things: the two women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children for slavery - this is Hagar. (Here Paul is comparing the Old Covenant to the slave woman, Hagar.) Gal 4:25 Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Yerushalayim, for she serves as a slave along with her children. (Hagar represents the covenant given at Sinai. Mt. Sinai is in Arabia.) Gal 4:26 But the Yerushalayim above is free, and she is our mother; (We are children of the New Jerusalem, which is now above.) Gal 4:27 for the Tanakh says, "Rejoice, you barren woman who does not bear children! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the deserted wife will have more children than the one whose husband is with her!" Gal 4:28 You, brothers, like Yitz'chak, are children referred to in a promise of God. (We are children of the Gal. 3:16 promise.) Gal 4:29 But just as then the one born according to limited human capability persecuted the one born through the Spirit's supernatural power, so it is now. (When Paul wrote this letter the Judaisers were persecuting the Gentile believers.) Gal 4:30 Nevertheless, what does the Tanakh say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for by no means will the son of the slave woman inherit along with the son of the free woman!" (Paul says we are to cast out the bondwoman, which is the Old Covenant.) Gal 4:31 So, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman, but of the free woman. (We are children of the free woman.) Gal 5:1 What the Messiah has freed us for is freedom! Therefore, stand firm, and don't let yourselves be tied up again to a yoke of slavery. (Do not let the Old Covenant become a yoke of slavery upon you.) Gal 5:2 Mark my words - I, Sha'ul, tell you that if you undergo b'rit-milah the Messiah will be of no advantage to you at all! (Circumcision is no advantage to those in the Messiah.) Gal 5:3 Again, I warn you: any man who undergoes b'rit-milah is obligated to observe the entire Torah! (Those who undergo circumcision are obligated to keep the entire Torah, which no one but Christ has been able to do.) Gal 5:4 You who are trying to be declared righteous by God through legalism have severed yourselves from the Messiah! You have fallen away from God's grace! (Those attempting to become righteous through keeping the Torah, have fallen from the Grace of the Messiah.)
The Torah served as a Custodian: Gal 3:23 Now before the time for this trusting faithfulness came, we were imprisoned in subjection to the system which results from perverting the Torah into legalism, kept under guard until this yet-to-come trusting faithfulness would be revealed. Gal 3:24 Accordingly, the Torah functioned as a custodian until the Messiah came, so that we might be declared righteous on the ground of trusting and being faithful. (The Torah functioned as a custodian until the Messiah came.) Gal 3:25 But now that the time for this trusting faithfulness has come, we are no longer under a custodian. (We are no longer under the Torah as our custodian, if we have the Holy Ghost inside of us.)
Jen M John saw under the altar in heaven the souls of those who were beheaded for their witness of Jesus. (Revelation). Paul daid that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I am not amazed, Yahshua clearly said, Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. He wasn't speaking of the difference between believers and non believer, he was speaking of people within the faith. Think about the number of people who embrace messiah and those who embrace christianity. The numbers between the two are staggering. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Let's just get down to brass tacks...Law is torah, torah means instructions. Torah is not JUST the Sinai covenant, it is the ENTIRE first five books of the Bible as well-even the stories about people who lived before the Sinai experience. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Enoch, Cain, etc-all part of torah, all were born before the covenant at Mt Sinai was given... Even this guy (not Lex, the other guy) points out that "torah" (law) means instructions. You know this. Did Jesus and the apostles give instructions? yes they did. Were they the same as the Torah (the Old Testament)? Yes because let's take the food laws for example.... Leviticus 15:31 tells us exactly who keeps food laws and why. Not the nations around, and not people without a temple of God in their midst. animals that were called "unclean" he says "these will be an abomination TO YOU". Not to anyone else. Why? Because Leviticus 11-15 which include ALL of the purity laws which included, but was not limited to animals, and with the actual reason they were not allowed to eat them is in Leviticus 15:31. You can look it up, but the reason these laws were given were not because these animals would make you sick and not because they were not food for other people and not because some of them are the vacuum cleaners of the earth or don't sweat out their toxins or any of the other nonsense that I and others who were formerly Hebrew Roots use to say, but for one reason: TO KEEP THE TEMPLE IN THEIR MIDST UNDEFILED. (Leviticus 15:31) These laws also included women on their monthly cycle and women who recently gave birth and people with open sores like leprosy and anyone who recently had discharge etc. Yet I don't see anyone barring women from entering the congregation or accusing them of being unclean and impure or soon after having a baby telling them they are unclean or anyone stopping women who are on their period from entering the congregation. Are these women unclean in and of themselves? I am going to hope your answer is no. These things were an ILLUSTRATION for a future time that had to do with EXTERNAL REGULATIONS UNTIL THE TIME OF REFORMATION. (see Hebrews 9:10) remember that Hebrews is written to a HEBREW audience. the word "reformation" has been translated from "diorthosis" which means: 1. Ammendment 2. Improvement 3. Reformation So don't act like it's lawlessness to eat animals that were only considered "set apart" for an age, UNTIL the reformation which is an amendment and improvement to the former time. It's lawlessness to misinterpret the torah itself by not not being aware of what it actually says and accusing others of being lawless when what Paul said straightforward about all creatures being good and acceptable with the word of God and prayer (the word of God being that he KNEW WHY the foods were once not to be eaten, but were now ok due to the reformation and due to Leviticus 15:31) and why Jesus said that nothing a man puts in his body makes him unclean. He meant what he said. The animals themselves are not unclean! They were an abomination to ISRAEL because the temple was in their midst. They were not an abomination before that or after that because Noah could eat all creeping things that creep on the ground and no, remes is not limited to sea creatures and if we want to get technical, the septuagint actually translated remes as "reptiles" and either way, reptiles were also forbidden under the Sinai covenant, but not for Noah. Jesus gave instructions! The apostles gave instructions! So when Jesus says "you who practice lawlessness" you should read this as: You who do not follow the instructions of God and in case you missed it-the instruction of God was that certain animals were not to be sacrificed or eaten UNTIL the time of reformation BECAUSE the temple was in their midst. SO Jesus and the apostles did NOT teach against torah and yet they taught that man can eat all animals as food. Do you understand? If not, read Leviticus 11-15 paying close attention to the end of Leviticus 15 and verse 31 which tells us WHY all of these purity laws were necessary. Then read Hebrews 9 paying close attention to Hebrews 9:10. If you are really torah observant, then understand what the torah says-the TORAH says that all foods/all animals are clean UNLESS you were living in the area of the temple. I don't know if you realize this, but the tabernacle and temple are gone. And just because Paul said that we are the temple now, does NOT mean that every OT law applies to your body because if that's the case, then how do women even live with themselves being unclean in their own temple after childbirth or during their monthly cycle! They would be a walking abomination! My gosh. I hate to get riled, but I was Hebrew Roots and I noticed these things myself in the Torah and when I asked about them no one had a good answer, because there is no good answer than the OBVIOUS answer which I just explained. There are many more answers like this to all of the laws that the New Testament says we don't need to keep, so how do people who claim to and brag that they read the "whole word of God" miss these things? I don't know. I WAS reading the whole word of God and I noticed them and I got out of Hebrew Roots.
+carla Rodriguez Your desire to love and obey His instructions is so beautiful to Him. I was in the church many years before I realized that what I was being told was very different than what the Scriptures are saying. 119 Ministries has a great website with hundreds of topics about our walk in the ancient paths. Most of them are here on youtube.
Thanks I appreciate you saying that truth is I love God with my all and yea my only desire is to please him because he has done some many miracles in my life but thanks i'ma look for them
+carla Rodriguez I believe in Him too :-) He wrote the law in my heart. It's written in Jeremiah "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people". The song of Moses & the song of the Lamb is the very same song, of the very same God, of the very same spiritual law. It's really very simple. Please let me show you how Moses really does agree with the Lamb. The Lamb said "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." So let's take a look at the torah/law of Moses that Moses wrote against the rebellious Levite priesthood (and then see how the new testament agrees). Moses tells the Levites-> (Deuteronomy 31:26) Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. OK... NOW NEW TESTAMENT-> (Hebrews 7:11, 12) If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. YES INDEED... MOSES WROTE A LAW WITNESS AGAINST THE OLD PRIESTHOOD & THE LAW "CHANGED" (AS IT IS WRITTEN). But there are false teachers among the people who reject Moses & the Lamb. And some of the false teachers call themselves rabbis. (Matthew 23:8) But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. YUP... THOSE (so called) "rabbis" simply reject the truth for a rabbi status. The fact is... The children of Israel refused to keep that very old law covenant that God made with them. So our Passover Lamb did something out of such great love (that rabbis simply reject to their own destruction). The evidence of a covenant law change is overwhelming. Jeremiah wrote of a new covenant that was not according to the old one (which covenant they broke). And our Passover Lamb/Mediator of the new covenant has already confirmed that new covenant with many. As I say... He wrote it in my heart. OLD TESTAMENT-> (Jeremiah 31:32, 33) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. NEW TESTAMENT-> (Hebrews 8:6, 7) But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. THE REAL LAMB OF GOD only wants people to do His commandments of love. That's all. (Matthew 22:35-40) Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. :-)
+anaya tallah I know anaya I was a christian who thought that the law was fulfil by Yeshua but he open my eyes and now I know I gotta keep his comanmends
That is another matter, it's one thing to obey the Father's commandments and an entirely different matter to think that the directives found in the Torah actually save our soul. Yahushua is my saving grace, my example "to walked just as He had walked". James said, "show me your faith and I will show you my faith by my works". Read the whole chapter. James said that faith is dead without works. The works don't save but they prove that faith is evident in the follower. As Abraham was justified.
If we have to keep the Law, then why did ALL of the apostles oppose it? Acts 15:24 "Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" The 10 commandments is the Old Covenant (Exodus 34:27-28) but Christ is the New Covenant (Isaiah 42:6, Hebrews 7:22) who is a better Covenant than the law (Hebrews 7:12-22). To go back and follow the Old Covenant will cause you to fall from Grace (Galatians 4:21-5:6).
Grace is not for disobeying Torah. But grace given when we try obey Torah and goes wrong, instead of punishment Yah be gracious for ur to learn more. Be Holy as I'm Holy he said. We must pursue this journey Alex. Israelites SAVED by grace but not all went into promised land. Those who obeyed only made it. Likewise we saved from slavery of sin by grace. But Eternal life, our Promise Land we have to journey towards it by obeying Torah. Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14 We need both Faith in Christ and obedience to Torah. Isralites obey commandments but failed to believe in Messiah and Christians vise versa. Sad..
1John 2 3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of Elohim perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. How did Messiah walk? against the law or in obedience to it? we are commanded to walk like him, unless this is a lie.
Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )
I am very encouraged following brother Lex Unlearn lessons. I have been believing lots of lies from the church pulpit. I truly want to learn the Word of God directly from God not from man interpretations. Thank God for Lex ministry that helps me to unlearn lots of the lies which I have believed for so as 50 years! Truly Thank God for sending Lex to teach me directly from the Word of God. Bless your ministry and your love for Him!
What will happen to believers who have been lied to about the Torah? Can they still be saved? After all, God is merciful. The belief that Torah is abolished is so ingrained in the minds of mainstream Christians due to leaders in Christianity misinterpreting Scripture to fit that view. So they are entirely unaware and can't believe what us Messianic Jews say. I've been trying to teach my family (my parents, brother and later my extended family) this, but my dad (an Anglican pastor) who I usually spoke to this about is resistant. I worry my conversion to Messianic Judaism with tear a rift in my family and I can't bear the thought of my family being led astray in false doctrine.
Jesus did say he came to bring devision. The wise and the foolish. Not to sound mean, but even in the book of Revelation- there are those with hearts so hard- they refuse to repent- even when facing plagues and curses.
I have an experiment I love to do with people who call themselves "Christian" and say they do not have to keep the Commandments.... I go through each one of the Commandments one at a time (leaving the 4th for last) I read it to them and ask if it is OK to have other gods before the one true God?.... They will always say no.... The I ask if it is OK to create an idol to fall down and worship/... Again they will say no.... Can I know take God's Holy naje in vain?.... Again the answer is no..... I do this with all the Commandments (leaving the 4th out of it for the time being) and always they will begin to realize the Commandments have to be kept.... Then I read the 4th Commandment and right away they will say that is the one that is done away.... That we now must keep Sunday..... That opens up a dialogue to explain when the Sabbath was created and that it was given at creation.... and then go on to explain how it is for everyone and how the Catholics have sought to change it not God, Not Jesus..... I have even had JWs switch their thinking when presented in this fashion.... They cannot get around it.....
Keeping the TORAH is really hard, a CHALLENGE which gets easier with practice and as you feel the BLESSING of the life style overwhelm with obedience of abiding in YESHUA HA'MASHIASH (HE IS THE TORAH )
@Stock Raising You don't seem to understand the context of Galatians 5:14. Paul is talking about the entire law concerning human relationships. Try reading the Amplified Bible, it helps clear up a lot of confusion with passages like these.
@Stock Raising God is always first,and then who is second?,your neighbor,and who is your neighbor?…Luke 10:25-37 King James Version 25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. And also Matthew 19:16-24 King James Version 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Keeping the Law and having faith by grace you've been saved are different things that many believers confuse. "Think not that I am come to undo the law or the prophets; I am not come to undo, but to fulfill." Mathew 15:7 When you go to another country there are laws you have to keep, but keeping those laws will never make you a citizen of that country. And being a citizen of a country doesn't mean you don't have to keep it's laws otherwise you'll be considered an outlaw always creating chaos. The purpose of the law is not salvation, and grace & faith doesn't replace the law. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
I assume we all try to follow the laws of the land? Howmuch more important should Gods laws be to us. It is not anything harmful to do so. It is obedience. It is not salvation. But doesnt every Father desire obidence from his children?
P.S., context: Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected? And the Scripture was filled which says, “Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was called, “Elohim’s friend.” You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone. -James 2:22-24.
Brother Jonathan, I partially agree with you, the keeping of the Torah is not hard, it impossible, there ain't one Jew in this world keeping all of the Torah, and if it was, they can move their chair next to Christ and rule with him. The law was meant to be impossible to keep to point out the love of the farther thru his son Jesus, and if u reject the chief cornerstone and live under the law then u will become a slave and the law will be your task master, I prefer to be a slave for Jesus Christ
I disagree totally.... Yes, we can keep it and it is foolish to say God would give us impossible Commandments that we cannot keep.... Yes we can keep them until they get in our way, that's when we break them.... Are you telling me you cannot go one day without bowing down to an idol or stealing, lying or murdering someone?.... If you can't, you have a bigger problem than God's laws.... You can't get through the day without lusting after your neighboir's spouse?.... Wow..... The one people have the problem with is #4 the Sabbath Day when God tells you to rest.... You cannot rest for one day?....
Law was for the Israelites. It was like a school master. Jesus fulfilled the whole law. All of them. Have faith in Jesus Christ. The work to salvation was all done by him. We are saved by our faith. Not by any works. There is a whole book on gentiles now being under the law.
@@defendingthefaith.7889 1.) Are you not grafted into Israel? Of course the Law is for Israel! 2.) Yahshua said, "I did not come to abolish the Law..." (Matt 5:17) 3.) "Faith without works is dead..." (James 2:26) Maybe you should watch the video with Bible in hand my friend :)
I am reminded of a certain word spoken, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Now, atheists in particular would have a fit if Christians on the whole believed that they were still to follow all of the Torah laws, for example, those regarding stoning, but of course, what they don't understand is the TRUE interpretation and understanding of such things, which Yeshua of course knew and communicated to those of us who had been too ignorant in our minds/spirit to truly understand, e.g. "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone." See, indeed He did not come to _'change'_ the law... but to help us to _truly_ understand it (as well as, in His words, "fulfill" it). So for example, one who picks up a stone to throw it at another, is really in actual fact committing a sin, in _violation_ of God's true law, in that, had the law truly been followed, they would not even be alive still to even be able to pick it up in the first place, because they would surely already have been stoned to death themselves! So they are really hypocrites in that they are just as guilty and therefore just as deserving of the same fate! And even then, you run into the same issue (_WHO_ would have been righteous enough to have done _them_ in?? ha ha, NO ONE!! :D Oh, the beauty of God's undying and eternal wisdom. In truth it is really so much simpler than we tend to even realize much less appreciate, and yet, we still are all too often too simple minded nevertheless to get it on our own. It really is amazing God's wisdom, the more you learn it. It's a continuous process of learning and evolving in God's word and the true understanding of it.
No I wouldn't say that. Nothing was condensed. Please ready 1 John 3:4 that should make it clean. Also if you think of the Golden Rule, remember this "If you love me you will keep my commands"
Many will say.. "Of course I love God!!!!" And the same will try to use the very words of God to explain this away: "For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are NOT GREVIOUS. 1 John 5:3" Its clear that people want to be free to indulge the lusts of their flesh while keeping Ha Mashiach (Christ) as a easy out. Don't you people understand that ACCODING TO THE BIBLE: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. 1 John 3:4" You can't be repentant and following Christ... Nor can you say you Love the Father IF YOU TRANSGRESS THE LAW!! SINNERS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM! CHIRST ONLY FULLFILLED THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN OF HIM (Luke 24:44). Follow and believe on Chirst RIGHTEOUSNESS sake...Keep the law and turn away from your sins in OBEDIENCE!!! PAUL KEPT THE LAW...SO DID ALL THE APOSTLES...SO DID CHRIST
There are 2 different laws. The law of Grace, The importance is that you are born again in the spirit. The law is perfect but we can not be perfect without Jesus he is the fulfiller of the law of Love.
Sarah Pettersson There are more than 2 different laws... Grace is not a law...its a period of time aloted for repentance before your date with the dirt... Christ fulfilled the law according to the Levitical priesthood.. He is the eternal priest and king out of the order of Melchizedek Love in the bible is defined as keeping the commandments... Christ gave you righteousness to all those who believe ... There is still a requirement for obedience...you will not inherit the Kingdom without both according to the manuscript! °Blessed are they *that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates* into the city. Revelation 22: 14 KJV °Here is the patience of the saints: *here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.* Revelation 14: 12 KJV °And the dragon was wroth 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 12: 17 THE LOVE OF GOD is KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENT... NOT LIP SERVICE °And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2: 3-4 KJV °By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 5: 2-3 KJV °If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. John 15 :10 KJV °If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14 :15 KJV
With all due respect to you, I would like to show you that we are no longer to follow the Old covenant law, but the New covenant law of Christ. Since the law has changed (Hebrews 7:12) we are to follow the law of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:20-21, Galatians 6:2) the law of Faith (Romans 3:27-28) and the law of the Spirit, but no longer the Old covenant law of sin and death (Romans 8:2, 2Corinthians 3:6-17). The 10 commandments is the Old Covenant (Exodus 34:27-28) but Christ is the New covenant (Isaiah 42:6) who is a better covenant than the law (Hebrews 7:12-22). Christ's commandments of the New covenant is to Love as He did (John 13:34) and believe/Faith (John 3:16) which is bearing Fruit of the Spirit (Matthew 7:15-20, Galatians 5:22-23). The only way we can bear Fruit of the Spirit is through Christ, but not without Him (John 15:5). Once we start to bear Fruit we no longer need the Old covenant law because Christ's law of the Spirit brings life, but the Old law can only kill and condemn (2Corinthians 3:6-17). That is why we must now live according to the Fruit of the Spirit rather then the Old law; for if you continue in the Old law it will put you under bondage and cause you to fall from Grace (Galatians 4:21-5:6). The Fruit of the Spirit AKA law of Christ/Faith is only what truly saves and that is why we don't follow the Old law anymore: Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Jeremiah predicted that the law would be written in our hearts, but it is the law of Christ not the Old covenant law; For it is Love, which is the commandment of Christ that will show who are born again (John 13:34-35). The righteous are justified by Faith, but not the works of the law (Romans 3:20-28). Paul and John both give testimony that it is Christ's Commandment of Love that should be in our heart (as Jeremiah predicted) to show we are saved: Romans 5:5 "And hope taketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." 1 John 4:7-8 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
the torah is the first five books of the Bible. They are not from Moses, they are from our Creator and Yeshua taught that every person should observe the instructions of the Torah.
Read the hole bible. Jesus worked on the sabbath, that's why the Jews was so furious and killed him because they said he trangressed the law. . The Sabbaths and the feasts are only foreshadowing of what's to come. The spirit will guide you into ALL Truth when you ask him. It's impossible to understand this by your own .
That is a LIE on Yeshua (Jesus)! He did NOT work on the Sabbath. He HEALED on the Sabbath! Now .... you go read the Torah and tell us where it says that you cannot heal on the Sabbath. What Yeshua did was to break the "Traditions of the Elders" (aka Oral Law). Please do not respond or post on this matter if you're not versed in what the Torah says. I don't mean to be harsh, but please, do not EVER lie on Yeshua - not EVER.
I'm posting the following scripture references for your consideration and obedience: 1, Remember and observe Shabbat (Ex 20:8 / 31:13, De 5:12) 2. Remember that you were once a slave in Egypt (aka the World). (De 5:15) 3. Gather together for a holy convocation (Le 23:3) 4. Call Shabbat a delight and honorable. (Is 58:13-14) 5. Do not persue your own desires on Shabbat (Is 58:13) 6. Do not work on Shabbat (Ex 20:9-10) 7. Do not cook on Shabbat (Ex 16:23) 8. Do not kindle a fire on Shabbat (Ex 35:3) 9. Do not participate in commerce on Shabbat (Ne 10:31, Je 17:21-22) * Shabbat is from Sundown Friday to Sundown Saturday *
I'd challenge that(Sarah's assertion that Jesus broke the law of Yahweh). Did Jesus work? Did he build a boat? Work his day job. Take money for services. Gain profit from his actions. Christ said, 'it is not a violation of the Sabbath to do good'. He still observed the Torah.
Austin B.R. Ferrell we are not under the law, if we keep it great, if we dont, still great cos jesus did it for us..but if we think we can get to God BY keeping the law, we are likely to end up in hell
Moses never made up any law. What in the world are you talking about? The instructions of how we are to live come from Our Creator. Please read your Bible.
“For from the first ages there have been preachers for Moses who read him on every Sabbath in every town in the synagogues.” -Acts 15: 21 It is assumed they would learn the law during Sabbath.
It is my understanding that Christ fulfilled the law, and as Christians, we are no longer under its demands. However, faith alone contradicts scripture quite clearly: "you see then that a man is justified [made righteous] by works, and not by faith only" (Jam 2:24). No where in scripture does it say that we are justified by faith "alone". "Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" (Jam 2:17) Moreover, St. Paul makes it quite clear when he says, "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?"
Romaion Many people call the Torah "Law" so that is why it is in the title but No where in the Bible does it say the Torah is done away with. Yehsua did away with the man made laws, not the Torah
The Health Watchman I think you're right, but the Torah contains all the laws. How can we be sure, from evidence in the NT, which laws were kept and which discarded? When Paul talks about righteousness by faith, and not the letter of law, I am confused as to which law he is referring.
Romaion This is how I see it. Food for Thought (Revised): by Randall M. Vasquez Grace is wide in the beginning while we are learning because God knows we are going to make mistakes, but as we start to walk out a redemptive lifestyle the way we are supposed to, it becomes the narrow path. Grace will always be there as a buffer because we are not perfect and we will fall from time to time, but Grace is not to be intended or perceived as the church is teaching it to be, “Once saved always saved,” “We are living in the age of Grace” and so on. Once we mature in God and learn how to walk out a redemptive lifestyle within the Law, Grace is supposed to be relied on less and less and not something we are to continually lean on as an excuse or a crutch. That’s like staying an infant all your life. Once we mature and learn to live the way God wants us to within the Law, that is where real blessings start being bestowed upon our lives. And it’s not really ‘LAW’ at all; it’s actually ‘Teaching and Instruction.’ When we walk out of God’s veil of protection, it’s not God who punishes us. We are punishing ourselves because we are letting our guard down. We are shedding our protective ‘Holy Spirit’ armor and satan comes in. We suffer the consequences of our own disobedience and sin. Living God’s Law is not hard. I will be the first to tell you IT’S EASY. For the first time in my life I feel and see everything as it should be. . . RMV
This will destroy your Christians doctrine. Sin = Lawlessness. 1 John 3:4 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child
RIGHTEOUSNESS is Obedience. They are one in the same; you cannot have RIGHTEOUSNESS without obedience, and there is NO obedience outside of RIGHTEOUSNESS. They are the same. If you are not, or no longer, following the Law for Righteousness, or an attempt at being Righteous, what are you doing it for? There is no other reason other than for Righteousness to follow the Law. But, as I mentioned before... "For Christ is the END OF THE LAW for righteousness to every one that believes." - Romans 10:4 If Christ is the END OF THE LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS (and He is), it is ended for all things, for all reasons, for all time. In other words, it has just plain ENDED. Following the law for righteousness is over; therefore, the law is OVER. There is NO OTHER REASON FOR THE LAW but for Righteousness. If it is ended for RIGHTEOUSNESS, is there another reason you follow the law, Christian? What, for UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? For fun? Because by doing so, you think it will make you somehow MORE RIGHTEOUS? YOU ARE NOT THINKING CLEARLY. You need your mind renewed on God's Word!
Many actually. City, County and State employees most work Monday through Friday, same often too for Federal employees, and private businesses like doctor, dentist and lawyer offices as well.
Christians don't keep the Torah(Law) because Christians are under Grace. When Jesus Christ went to the cross, He took the Law with Him meaning that since He was perfect and without sin, the Law demanded a sacrifice for sin and Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb who initially came to take the sin away. The Law was given so that we would know what sin is. and since no one could keep the Law perfectly, Jesus came to fulfill the Law by nailing it to the cross. The last 3 words He uttered while on the cross before He died were..I is finished. There is no need to live by the Law but by Grace through Jesus Christ alone.
To me Torah Life Ministries seem like you might be modern day judaizers the likes of which the the early Chistians had to deal with, Being led straight back into Judaism after coming to Salvation in Jesus.
No one is able to keep the Torah perfectly, but we must at least try too. It is commanded to obey. We are saved by Grace yes, but also Yahshua said He did not come to abolish the Torah but to Fulfill it. And...Matthew 5:18: "For truly I say to you that until Heaven and earth pass away not one Yodh or one stroke will pass from the Torah until everything happens." EVERYTHING. Not just until Yahshua's death and resurrection.
It amazes me about all the ppl pointing out the keeping of the law, I was just wondering is there anyone still making sacrifices or is that portion covered by the blood of Christ, oops my bad, forgot u r still waiting on the Messiah, hold on while I update my bible, Daniel 9:25 must be wrong, along with Isaiah 53
Praise Yahweh, I am a born again believer in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and I am a member of the SDA Church. I prayed and asked Yahweh for the truth after listening to the Trinity Broadcast Network and almost everything that they were quoting from the Bible was actually not Bible quotes but misquotes. A few nights later Yahweh showed me His truths. He showed that there are intentional lies being told in the Protestant Church concerning His Divine Law. It is refreshing to see God's anointed Messengers do the will of God and preach His TRUTH. I love what you teach. I am learning from your anointing. My prayer is that before the ROMAN Catholic Church, through the Pope legistrate the NEW LAW commanding all the inhabitants of the Earth to worship the Beast on his appointed day of worship, which will most likely be sun-day, the day that the Luciferians worship the sun-god on; that Elohyim's People will listen to and hear Jesus' voice mentioned in Revelation 18:4 saying, "Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins" speaking of coming out of the demon worship system of Spiritual Babylon. Worship today on Yahweh's seventh day or worship to the Beast is the issue in these last days right before Jesus' second coming.
Christ is our Passover (1Corinthians 6:7) and we are not justified by the deeds of the Law (Romans 3:20) and in chapter 4:5, it says "But he that worketh not, but believeth on him that justified the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. and if you are washed in the blood of the Lamb (pries the Lord for that if it be so) then why do you insist that we all follow many of the old laws? in 1Corinthians 11 it talks about the headcovering (long hair) for woman. then it says in verse 16 "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."
Did someone say the law is for salvation? We are only saved by the blood of Messiah however we should seek to do the law not to be saved by because we are save
Torah Life Ministries i would say the Law for us a born again believers is to preach the gospel into all of the world, plant spiritual seeds. if they grow into fruitful spiritual trees, well. but if it false (corrupt tree with such fruit) then that's between them and God this is the most important thing to do. as a born again believer, then there is praying to God, giving him thanks, and glory. but i'll have you know i'm a man, i do not have a beard. and i can tell you for a curtain. i am NOT a sodomite. to say a man who has no beard is a sodomite just makes you a fool in that regard.
The Lord is leading me to no longer celebrate the worldly pagan holidays that the Christian and catholic religions observe. Christmas, Easter, new Year's, etc. All of these have wicked pagan influences. The Lord specifically told us to not follow the ways of pagans. That is exactly what Christians are doing by observing those hollidays. The Sabbath is not on Sunday. That was something the Catholic church came up with. God gives us specific feast or Holiday's that we are to observe that are honoring to him.
No, we don't have to keep the law. Which law, by the way? All 613 commandments? Certainly not! Why would ceremonial or civil laws be important for us today??? What we follow is the Moral law, 10 commandments, but not because of justification or salvation. Also, we are not called to keep the Sabbath anymore in the NT. OT law is one of those topics which separate many Christians, for example like gifts of the Spirit, or calvinism vs arminianism, and similar. There are PLENTY of verses in Ephesians 2:15, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews chapters 7-10, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:6-16, Acts 15, James 2:8-13, etc. telling us that we are not under the law. Nor are we, gentiles, called to obey something that even old Jews could. Those who wanna obey the law, have to obey the WHOLE law, which is impossible, and are being cut off from the grace of God found only in Christ Jesus. All the festivals are rules and laws were obsolete and shadow of things pointing to Jesus - Author and Perfecter of our faith, so that through Him we can come boldly to the throne of grace. Both Jesus and apostles summed up the Moral law (10 commandments) into 2, which are to love God and people. It saddens and frustrates me seeing teachers of the law trying to put a yoke on Christians that no one could carry, which also happened in Acts 15. Those who wanna have the law with all 613 commandments and observe it can say GOOD BYE to Christ. I am SHOCKED how many people are falling into this trap and wanna follow the law. I met people who are observing OT festivals without any good reason. Jesus is Passover, Jesus is the perfect Lamb, Jesus is the High Priest, Jesus's body is the curtain of the temple which split, Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. By having Jesus and following Him we have SALVATION. His disciples didn't instruct other Jews, even less gentiles, to follow the law. If that would've happened, Jesus came and died in vain. In order for you to understand the OT law you have to look in through the NT Epistles that Paul wrote, and through Jesus' life. And in order of you to understand Matthew 5:17-19 that every teacher of the law loves to quote, you will have to face it against ALL those verses i put in the beginning - Ephesians 2:15, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews chapters 7-10, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:6-16, Acts 15, James 2:8-13, and THEN get the message! You still wanna follow anything else besides the Moral law which God engraved on our hearts in the New covenant? Ok, good luck, but you won't be pleasing God by that because "IT IS FINISHED" and you certainly won't be granted salvation based on that, because "Jesus is THE END of the law for everyone who believes." Amen, amen, and amen.
In the Old Testament Israelites freely saved by Yahovah’s grace. He delivered them from their house of bondage in Egypt. They were promised to inherit the Canaan. But, once they stepped out of their slavery, they were not in the Canaan immediately!! The redemption was FREE but they have to journey through wilderness in order to enter into promised land! Likewise, once we saved from our slavery to sin (by grace of course), we are still have to run the race toward our Promised Land which is our eternal life. We have to pursue it! The law followed God’s gracious saving act of Israelites. Israel was meant to show their gratitude for God’s deliverance by obeying him and keeping his commands. This did not to save them - they were ALREADY saved! In the same way today, we are ALREADY saved by believing what Christ has done on our behalf at calvary. We cannot save ourselves. We are saved through grace. No one can earn the salvation by action or work of the law. Salvation is a gift by God to us. But once saved, we gratefully seek to do His will to please him. This is why I am obeying the law. The Scriptures everywhere speak about these truth. Love and obedience goes together
To anyone reading this at Torah life ministry's... My name is Bryana and I am a Christian convert to Judaism I love my Jewish life style it has really changed me forever as a person. To get to the point I to have similar beliefs that the way to salvation is through Jesus teaching but the word is all to often misinterpreted. I am blessed to say God gave me a spiritual awaking and I haven't been the same since. I would love to speak to someone from your ministry on the topic of maybe hearing my story. I think you may find a ton of value in it.
...is that we perfectly understand Yahushua provides us with our righteousness. We understand a life of works is worthless without love. But you fail to realize that loving Yahweh means you obey His Torah. Yahushua says this over and over in scripture.
Haha im a Christians , yeah that's true majority of Sunday Keepers telling that that law r for the Jews and we r under by grace not in the law of Jews ,only one thing they don't like is the Sabbath. The law from all mankind Jews and Christians are man and we have under the law of God that we hve to obey and walk and not to violet it,
This is very fundamental to say the least. If I may add to it, this is how I see it. Food for Thought (Revised): by Randall M. Vasquez Grace is wide in the beginning while we are learning because God knows we are going to make mistakes, but as we start to walk out a redemptive lifestyle the way we are supposed to, it becomes the narrow path. Grace will always be there as a buffer because we are not perfect and we will fall from time to time, but Grace is not to be intended or perceived as the church is teaching it to be, “Once saved always saved,” “We are living in the age of Grace” and so on. Once we mature in God and learn how to walk out a redemptive lifestyle within the Law, Grace is supposed to be relied on less and less and not something we are to continually lean on as an excuse or a crutch. That’s like staying an infant all your life. Once we mature and learn to live the way God wants us to within the Law, that is where real blessings start being bestowed upon our lives. And it’s not really ‘LAW’ at all; it’s actually ‘Teaching and Instruction.’ When we walk out of God’s veil of protection, it’s not God who punishes us. We are punishing ourselves because we are letting our guard down. We are shedding our protective ‘Holy Spirit’ armor and satan comes in. We suffer the consequences of our own disobedience and sin. Living God’s Law is not hard. I will be the first to tell you IT’S EASY. For the first time in my life I feel and see everything as it should be. . . RMV
So Paul was just joking in Rom.2:13? Not! Paul applies ALL Torah to you (2Ti.3:16). Gal.5:4-5 is critiquing those who seek justification by law WITHOUT faith. Paul requires justification by law (Rom.2:13) AND faith (Rom.5:1), TOGETHER.
@@bibleguy9857 I am glad that you keep Torah and all, but I read Galatians 5, and I see that Galatians 5:4 is talking about circumcision. The previous verse is about circumcision , so it should help us figure out the rest of Galatians. For example, Galatians 5:18 says this, "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law." This is NOT in any way talking about the law of Moses, this is talking about the law of Sin. If you find a verse you don't understand, read the whole chapter in context, don't always take someone's word for it. I just wanted to correct you, and I am glad that we have a Torah to tell us how to live.
@@Solsprite Gal. 5, in context, is OBVIOUSLY referring to the entire law (in addition to specific elements of the law). For example, Gal. 5:14 refers to THE ENTIRE LAW. So, Gal. 5 is not merely about "circumcision", although that's an issue being dealt with by Paul in Galatians, of course. Thanks for the comment. Blessings.
l believe we ALL have to come together and sometimes exept that we believe a bit differently than someone else. Telling of the scriptures but not fighting and arguing cuz lt leads no where !
Shalom brother Paul, I literally just thought to myself, "Paul is a wiser man then me because he realizes that sometimes there is no reasoning with people". I'm sorry Paul, I didn't mean to go overboard on your channel. I really have a hard time understanding some of these people. There was a reason James was inspired by the Father to write "Faith is dead without works". Thank you and may Yeshua bless you and your family. - In Mashiach.
He did not come abolish, but to fulfill. But, the word fulfill means _to bring to completion that which was promised_. Many quote Matthew 5:18 to say that the law is still in effect, but they fail to read on. _17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 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_*_._ What does this "all is accomplished" mean? I would argue that it had to do the redemption of mankind and Jesus fulfilling His mission on earth. _Luke __18:31__ Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished._ All was accomplished at the cross. A way of salvation has been made, the kingdom of God is at hand.
+Buckeye Bike _John __8:42__ Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 43“Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies._
Yes, it's true, the Law prescribed death for those who broke it. But that's exactly why Jesus came : to become the Lamb of God and bear the penalty on our behalf. Hope it helps =)
Who also who can deny the word of the messiah yashua I did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill but I tell you this till heaven and earth pass not one tittle or one jot should be taken away from the law till all be fulfilled
Reasons Why Jesus Christ Has Become Our Sabbath Rest The Sabbath was a command given specifically to Israel. There is no biblical record whatsoever of anybody keeping the Sabbath prior to Exodus 16 (Neh. 9:13-14). Even after they received the full-blown Sabbath command (Ex. 20:8-11), Israel who often condemned the sins of her pagan neighbors, never criticized their violation of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was part of God’s ceremonial law and not grounded in His unchanging character. The Sabbath was a ceremonial law given specifically to Israel, not grounded in God’s unchanging nature. Similar to the entire old covenant, it has been fulfilled and brought to completion in Christ (Mt. 5:17). If David had a right to make an exception in the ceremonial law, Jesus had more (Mt. 12:1-8; c.f 5:21-48). Even Jesus said," The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" (Mk. 2:27). Moreover, He called Himself the "Lord of the Sabbath" (Lk. 6:5). The Sabbath was the sign of the Old Covenant (Ex. 31:16-17; Neh. 9:14; Eze. 20:12). Because we are now under the New Covenant we are no longer under obligation to keep the Old Covenant, particularly the sign of the Old Covenant. The writer to the Hebrews remarked, "When He said, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear" (Heb. 8:13). The New Testament nowhere commands Christians to observe the Sabbath. The church is warned of many sins in the New Testament, but breaking (or observing) the Sabbath is never mentioned. The book of Acts mentions the Sabbath nine times, never once as a day of worship for Christians. If anything, the Apostle Paul rebuked the Galatians for attempting to add the observance of days to the sufficiency of Christ’s work for salvation (Gal. 4:9-11). The church even changed their day of worship from Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) (Ac. 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2) to show that a new order had been erected with the resurrection of Christ (Jn. 20:1, 19). Jesus Christ through His redemptive work regained the Sabbath that Adam lost. Jesus Christ came to complete a redemptive work (Jn. 4:34; 5:36) by restoring the rest that was forfeited in the Garden. In following the same pattern for the first creation, Jesus Christ began the work spoken of in Genesis 3:15 (c.f. Gen. 1:3). He completed the work on the cross (Jn. 17:4; 19:30; c.f. Gen. 1:5). The work was met with God’s satisfaction by the resurrection and ascension of Christ (Rom. 1:3-4; Gen. 1:4) leading again to divine rest (Heb. 10:11-12; c.f. Gen. 2:1-3). The Sabbath was a sign that pointed to something greater. Like much of the Old Testament, the Sabbath pointed to Jesus Christ. The Old Testament Sabbath preached the gospel when it called for faith and a cessation of work (Rom. 4:4-5). We dishonor our Savior when the signs still receive the preeminence that He alone deserves. Now that Jesus is here, the signs have become obsolete (Heb. 8:13). The Apostle Paul said, "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). Jesus is the new Joshua that leads God’s children to a greater Promised Land of rest (Mt. 1:21). Jesus is the new Sabbatical Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) that provides a greater cancellation of debts (Lk. 4:18-19). Jesus Christ has now become the Sabbath rest for Christians under the New Covenant. God has completed His work of the new creation. Christians are the first fruits of that creation (2 Cor.. 5:17; Gal. 6:15). Our rest, as it was enjoyed by Adam everyday, has again been restored. During this life we still deal with some remnants of the curse, but we recognize our rest in Christ (from meritorious works) through faith and daily worship (Col. 3:17). Due to His redemptive work, He has become our Sabbath rest. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Mt. 11:28-30; c.f. Heb. 4:1-11). The Christian’s ultimate Sabbath rest will be enjoyed in heaven (Rev. 14:13; c.f. 14:11). Though we currently rest in Jesus Christ under the New Covenant, our supreme Sabbatical rest will be realized in heaven where we will enjoy the ultimate rest in the culmination of God’s new creation (Rev. 21:4; 22:1-2) away from the curse in the direct presence of the Lamb (Rev. 22:3).
@@chosenonebygod Weren't GENTILES graffed in into the Olive Tree? No! Who were? Gentiles who are BAPTIZED *AND have received the holy Ghost.* What does that mean? King James Version,1611 James 2: 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, *though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?* 17 *Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.* 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, *that faith without works is dead?* 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and *by works was faith made perfect?* 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that *by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.* 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot *justified by works,* when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, *so faith without works is dead also.* And concerning the Shabbat therefore: if the Gentiles who have become part of the Olive tree( being called Yisrael, CHOSEN by *God YeHoVaH* ), aren0t they supposed to keep the Law? ABSOLUTELY. Can they fulfill the Law? ABSOLUTELY. The WHOLE law(Torah)? *NO* . Why? Because there are SOME commandments that are abolished, therefore, even Yisrael themselves now(in the flesh Yisrael) are UNABLE to keep the whole Torah but this part of Torah that is NO ABOLISHED, are they able to keep it? *YES* . Are Gentiles able to keep this UNABOLISHED part? *YES* . Therefore, Circumcised Gentiles and Circumcised Yisrael are *ONE* and have the SAME COMMANDMENTS. King James Version,1611 Exodus 19: 3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the* house of Jacob,* and tell the *children of Israel;* *Circumcised Gentiles* are the house of Ya'akov. King James Version,1611 Acts 15: 9 And put *no difference between us and them,* purifying their hearts by faith. Proving that Circumcised Gentiles and Circumcised Yisrael are ONE and again, have the SAME COMMANDMENTS, which also meaneth The Shabbat. King James Version,1611 Matthew 28: 19 Go ye therefore, and *teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:* 20 *Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:* and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. And this is the proof: teach the Gentiles to *OBSERVE His Torah* . *PERIOD!*
*What does the word of God say?* *Romans 10:4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.* *Romans **3:28**Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29* *1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.* Acts 15:23 They wrote this letter by them: The apostles, the elders, and the brethren, To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”-to whom we gave no such commandment- 25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell. *BOOM* Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar. ~ *I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. (Gal2)*
The Mosaic covenant was NOT a smorgasbord. Unless you observe the ENTIRE thing without fail, you've broken it ALL! "For as many as are of the works of the law aARE UNDER THE CURSE: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not IN ALL THINGS which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that NO MAN is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident:" (Gal. 3:10-11) But what if you really wanted, with all of your heart and mind-just for the sake of argument-to keep the Law (be “Torah observant”)? Well, it is simply impossible. There is no priesthood, no temple, and no sacrificial system-all of which comprise the heart and essence of the Law (the commandments are all associated with it). So, there really is no such thing as “Torah observant”, as most of the 613 commandments are impossible to keep even if we wanted to try. Those that are left, are usually being cherry picked from, ignoring most of them and ending up with only a few. If somebody is telling you he is Torah observant, try to randomly pick a few commandments and see if he really observes them or not, for example, you may ask them: - Do you keep your diet 100% animal fat free, as in accordance with Leviticus 3:17 ? - Do you stone your children if they curse you, as in accordance with Leviticus 20:9 ? - Do you never shave your facial hair, as in accordance with Leviticus 19:27 ? - Do you support the killing of gays and lesbians, as in accordance with Leviticus 20:13 ? - During the Shabbat, do you not drive or BBQ? (and if you lived before the nineteenth century, will you not turn on lights nor start the heating in the winter if you are cold?), as in accordance with Exodus 35:3 ? - Do you always wear only one kind of fabric on your body so not to mix between linen and wool, as in accordance with Deuteronomy 22:11 ? - Do you never buy fruit in the supermarket as their producers do not wait until the 5th year to start selling them? (not to mention the fact that the majority of today’s supermarket food products includes corn or soy), as in accordance with Leviticus 19:23-25? These are only 7 examples of the hundreds of Sinai commandmends, and remember, if in Yeshua we are still under the authority of the Sinai covenant, we can’t just keep some commandments, we must keep them all: “For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.” (James 2:10) If you really believe the New Covenant is just a rehash or renewing of the Old Covenant, then you've missed a very important revelation God gave Jeremiah concerning the New Covenant- " “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. IT WILL NOT BE LIKE THE COVENANT I MADE WITH THEIR ANCESTORS..." Two radically different covenants, one that "KILLS" (Sinai) and one that "GIVES LIFE!" ("The Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua")
Good youtube video: "Law and Grace Made Simple", its only a few mins long :) ---->"He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination."
great video! Grace is not a new concept it was around since Abraham..Yeshua, Jesus kept His Fathers commandments and His feast days and dietary laws if we claim to follow Yeshua, Jesus we need to walk as He walked 1 John 2:6 ..The Father put two paths in front of us,Deuteronomy 30:15, before I knew Yeshua and understood that I was condemned to eternal seperation from the Father because I had broke His law Romans 7:7, I was walking on the path of curses and death now Yeshua took my punishment and paid the wages of sin which = death now I must walk on the other path which is walking in blessings and having life! This is the Fathers way we must repent and turn from our sin and walk in His ways! Not the ways of the world..Shalom!
Yeshua has a total different meaning the Jesus. Look what Jesus means in Greek! I believe it will shock you, I know it did me! Yeshua means Salvation, the Only name that does!!
THE TORAH WAS WRITTEN AS INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OF US , AS A GUIDE TO FOLLOW !! THE COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO ALL OF US , AS THE LAW OF GOD ,IN ORDER FOR US NOT TO straight AWAY FROM GOD INSTRUCTIONS.!!!. JEWS OR CHRISTIAN MUST FOLLOW .!!. DON'T BE DISOBEDIENT. SEE HEBREWS CHAPTER 3 AND 4 . AND FOLLOW GOD S SABBATH NOT MAN !!!
I am a gentile, Acts 15 places no other burden. The old covenants are done, over, Israel was removed from the earth in 70ad. Read Galatians 5: one word sums up all the law. The temple was destroyed, The ark had been gone along with God many years before. the priesthood reduced to all are a priest with one high priest. You lose grace when you teach old covenant rules, rituals, etc for salvation. You teach that Jesus is not enough if you teach torah. IMHO.
I would also mention the full chapter of Galatians 2. As a great reference. Finally, this is a great conclusion to my observation. Acts 21:17-26 If I'm in error, I encourage you correct me as a brother in the faith. However, please ensure that you provide the scriptures as well. Thank you and Shalom!
Thank you both for this understanding, and helping us all to understand better what we should be doing, and how to look at these things as blessings. May our Heavenly Father continue to bless you both endlessly, through His Son Yeshua!
If it's true that we are to keep the Torah, then what about commandment 162 that we are not to marry non-jews? This doesn't make sense to me. Can someone who has true knowledge of the Torah please explain this to me?
Please consider that Christ lived under the law and therefore was subject to the law. Upon His death on the cross, He took the sin of the world upon himself, thus fulfilling the penalty of sin on our behalf. In doing so, He conquered death, and nailed the written requirements (the law) to the cross. Read Colossians 2:13-17
Acts The law is an unbearable yoke. (Acts 15:10) Romans The law reveals sin but cannot fix it. (Romans 3:20) If the law worked then faith would be irrelevant. (Romans 4:14) The law brings wrath upon those who follow it. (Romans 4:15) The purpose of the law was to increase sin. (Romans 5:20) Christians are not under the law. (Romans 6:14) Christians have been delivered from the law. (Romans 7:1-6) The law is good, perfect and holy but cannot help you be good, perfect or holy. (Romans 7:7-12) The law which promises life only brings death through sin. (Romans 7:10) The law makes you sinful beyond measure. (Romans 7:13) The law is weak. (Romans 8:2-3) 1 Corinthians The strength of sin is the law (1 Corinthians 15:56) 2 Corinthians The law is a ministry of death. (2 Corinthians 3:7) The law is a ministry of condemnation. (2 Corinthians 3:9) The law has no glory at all in comparison with the New Covenant. (2 Corinthians 3:10) The law is fading away. (2 Corinthians 3:11) Anywhere the law is preached it produces a mind-hardening and a heart-hardening veil. (2 Corinthians 3:14-15) Galatians The law justifies nobody. (Galatians 2:16) Christians are dead to the law. (Galatians 2:19) The law frustrates grace. (Galatians 2:21) To go back to the law after embracing faith is “stupid”. (Galatians 3:1) The law curses all who practice it and fail to do it perfectly. (Galatians 3:10) The law has nothing to do with faith. (Galatians 3:11-12) The law was a curse that Christ redeemed us from. (Galatians 3:13) The law functioned in God’s purpose as a temporary covenant from Moses till John the Baptist announced Christ. (Galatians 3:16 & 19, also see… Matthew 11:12-13, Luke 16:16) If the law worked God would have used it to save us. (Galatians 3:21) The law was our prison. (Galatians 3:23) The law makes you a slave like Hagar. (Galatians 4:24) Ephesians Christ has abolished the law which was a wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:15) Philippians Paul considered everything the law gained him as “skybalon” which is Greek for “poop”. (Philippians 3:4-8) 1 Timothy The law is only good if used in the right context. (1 Timothy 1:8) (see next verse for the context) It was made for the unrighteous but not for the righteous. (1 Timothy 1:9-10) Hebrews The law is weak, useless and makes nothing perfect. (Hebrews 7:18-19) God has found fault with it and created a better covenant, enacted on better promises. (Hebrews 8:7-8) It is obsolete, growing old and ready to vanish. (Hebrews 8:13) It is only a shadow of good things to come and will never make someone perfect. (Hebrews 10:1) Well there you have it… 37 scriptures that make a very convincing arguement. But… I can hear your but forming in your mind already… But what about what Jesus said about the law not passing away? But what about all the law Jesus reinforced? But what about the scriptures like 1 Cor 3:11 and Heb 8:13 that make it sound like it’s still kind of relevant? But what about the fact God gave the law to the people of Israel?
Hi Paul. I’m curious to know if you have any recommended reading regarding first or second century Christianity/believers and their practices - as I know Constantine changed much and “un-judiaized” what was happening prior to him.
What proves one's faith in Messiah? Faith is dead without works, if we fail to obey the Fathers teachings (which Yahushua taught) then we lie when we say we are in Him and we love Him. Yahushua plainly states that those who say they love Him yet do not do the commands of the Father are liars and there is no truth in them. This is SCRIPTURE, it is clearly understandable and written down for anyone to read. If you accepted the new man then you would be obeying His Torah!
You took that last bit out of the proper context. Yahushua was speaking only about the putting away of a woman (divorce). He was not saying that the Torah was given because of the hardness of their hearts, only the writ of divorce. And that is what I mean by twisting scripture and taking a single text out of context and applying it to everything instead of what it was meant to clarify, which was the immediate context of the discussion.
The fulfillment of the law in Christ ENDS the law. "For Christ is the END OF THE LAW for righteousness to every one that believes." - Romans 10:4 Guess what? I believe, so that ENDS the Law for me. Free from the law in Christ!
We are free/saved from the condemnation of the law by the completed work of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we must know/abide by the law in order to know what is right/wrong.
This made so much sense! I had never thought about it this way. Now I understand the difference between the Pharisees and the fact that Jesus seemed to "up" the law to an even more intense degree...we are to fulfill both the letter and the spirit. Thank you!
Remember that Jesus taught us that love fulfills the whole law, and if we are to live under the law why aren't we performing animal sacrifice for the covering of sin like the law said? If you are a doer of the law be a doer of the WHOLE law, but in Jesus I am free, not bound.
Paul CONDONED animal sacrifices! (Ac. 21) Paul did this to prove he obeyed Torah (Ac.21). YOU should likewise imitate Paul (1Cor.11:1;Php.4:9) and condoned sacrifices (when possible to do them properly, as Paul condoned). Likewise, THOUSANDS of Christians were zealous for ALL Torah (including sacrifices, Ac. 21). In fact, some Christians were animal-sacrificing priests! (Ac.6:7). Jesus requires sacrifices (applying Is.56:7 to people from all nations) in Mk.11:17. Again, Jesus requires ALL Torah (Mt.5:19) for all disciples of all nations (Mt.28:19-20). Love FULFILLS (not replaces!) the law. That's why Jesus applies Dt. 6 to you (Mt.22:37); and Dt. 6:25 requires ALL Torah. "why aren't we performing animal sacrifice for the covering of sin like the law said?" Because we are still in the diaspora. Moses said we can't again obey 100% of Torah until AFTER we return to inherit the land promised to us (Dt.30:1-8). "If you are a doer of the law be a doer of the WHOLE law" Wrong...Moses said you can't obey 100% again until AFTER you return to inherit the promised land (Dt.30:1-8). " in Jesus I am free, not bound." Free to sin? Nope! (Rom.6:15;1Cor.15:34). Free to OBEY EVEN THE LEAST (Mt.5:19) of Torah commands...and then LIVE by the obedience! (Mt.4:4). Paul agrees, applying Dt. 30 to YOU (Rom.10:8). Again, Paul applies ALL Torah to you (2Ti.3:16;1Cor.7:19). John agrees (1Jn.5:3).
You don't keep the law to be saved. You keep the law because you are saved.
I agree. There is a huge difference in motivation between the two statements.
To keep the law to be saved then you aren't acceptable to God or righteous before God unless you earn that right by keeping the law. This is of the flesh. You place God in your debt by keeping the law. You are conditionally accepted by God, depending on how well you have kept the law. Such thinking leads people into all sorts of disfunction including addictions.
But faith in Christ is what redeems us. Repentance and Faith in His crucifixion and resurrection. Then we receive the Holy Spirit. Then we are righteous. Then we behave as a child of God and follow Jesus, observing his commandments. We obey out of gratitude and belief we are totally acceptable to God because of Christ's work, not our own works. It is an unconditional acceptance by a loving heavenly Father. Such thinking produces healthy behavior. it's the same in raising our own earthly children.
Christ emphasized faith in Him, not observance of the law. I said "emphasized". Count how many times he said "believe in me as the Messiah" vs how many times he said to obey the Mosaic law. Faith wins out by far.
"28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Read Acts 15, the council at Jerusalem settled this very question, if you must obey, for salvation, the Mosaic law and be circumcised. (guys this will really relieve you :) ) Read it. Know your scripture and your God.
Acts 15:5-11
"5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, 'The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.' " [Isn't that what is being taught here on this video?]
"6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: 'Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are. ' ”
Declaring Paul as a fraud puts you on dangerous ground by taking away from God's word, IMO.
Hi I am a Christian and I listened to the whole video. God is leading me on the path of truth concerning his Torah, Sabbath and festivals and I just wanted to let you know I was truly edified. God is raising up a generation of Christians who will no longer walk in the deception of our generation but seek after his kingdom and his truth. God bless you.
HalleluYAH!!!
Acts 21:25 "As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication" this was settled 2000 years ago...time after time we are told that gentile believers DO NOT have to follow the law.. how dare anyone try to add to the work of Jesus Christ
AndTheTruth ShallMakeYouFree
First of all let me enlighten you on the part that Jesus said do not think that i have come to abolish the law or the prophets now the word fulfill its clearly you mistaken it by thinking it's done away with now if you continue reading it say till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled.... now is the heaven and earth still here yesss very much so why a you people misinterpreting the words of Jesus himself.
Jesus fulfilled what was spoken of him he was to make a better covenant on sacrifices n offerings he became the high priest as prophesied we no longer have to kill animals for forgiveness he became the ultimate sacrifice but the laws of God still stands untill all a fulfilled and it was clear that the sacrifices n offerings only were perfected cause it was weak on sacrificing all the time you sinned.
Now the confusion comes in with pauls letters and peter warns people that his letters contain some things that are hard to understand which ignorant and unstable people distort as they do to other scriptures to the own destruction (2peter 1:3 ,15,16)
I just wanna touch on main points to clarify more that the love of God is keeping the commandments
If you go to last book on revelation 22:14 it clearly says blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life.
I wanna take you to a future prophecy and clearly show you that even the sabbath it being part of the commandments is the only holy day of God
Isaiah (56:2-7 upon blessings)
Isaiah(66:22-23 future prophecy) when God makes the new heaven and earth the new moon and the sabbath will still remain before him.
Paul kept the sabbath Acts 13:42,44 and chapter 17:2
I don't mean that you go to SDA but the sabbath must be kept and the laws stand let no man read the Bible out of context may you seek the truth and it shall set you free remember Sunday was brought by constantine the worship of the sun god read the history.
Doing away with the laws then what don't pick and choose scriptures is supposed to be read line upon line here a little and there alittle. Now the below scriptures denys what you people a after breaking Gods laws you read that verse 14 and that's it if you continue reading what does is it say God Forbid. Very clear
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid
Romans 6:14-15 | KJV
Another verse you people pick n choose only verse 28 but if you continue reading to verse 31 it strikes out everything.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 3:28-31 | KJV
Shalom brother.
If I was born in world war 2 I would be dead since hitlers men would have targeted me
NovaGamer300 they didn’t have to do those things to become Christians. The church was predominantly of the tribes at this time and those 4 things were to be done for table fellowship because these were pagan practices.
Remembering the Sabbath has brought so much joy and resolution to my body, soul and Spirit. I, too, look forward to it each week. The rest and calming time with God is unbelievable. I wish I was taught to do so when I was younger growing up in the Church.
What day is your weekly Shabawt?
1 John 3:4 Those who love me will keep my commands!
yes the commands of Jesus who is the complete law and commands us to follow the spirit the law cannot save you only jesus can- your works are dead in the law
Yep exactly, and Jesus commands were that Torah can be summed up in two ways; love God with all of your heart, love your neighbor as yourself
There's nothing wrong with Torah
Except that it can never save you.
Isn't it wonderful when the veil is lifted from your eyes? You see Yahweh's Festivals as the fulfillment of prophecy that was fulfilled and is yet to be. The joy of knowing that the law is NOT burdensome. It is a blessing, as Yahweh promised! His words to those who love Him is comforting, assuring, and truth. The Shabbat is looked forward to with gladness. That He teaches you, through His law (Torah) how to worship Him and that doing so, with gladness, shows Him you really do love Him. Only Yeshua kept the Torah perfectly. He knows if we try and want with all our hearts to keep it, and never give up. We should be humbled before Him always, knowing we cannot be perfect and righteous in this life. Yet, seek his forgiveness when you step to the left or to the right. Praise Him for all that He does for you and for His mercy. Walk the walk that one day will be fulfilled when He says ... Well, done. And you receive the crown of everlasting life and righteousness that we cannot obtain in this fleshly body.... Praise Yahweh! Keep that in sight no matter what.
I love Shabbat! It is like christmass every week! Everything is so clean and good food is on the table, and my family is alltogether! I love it!
You're not supposed to light a fire on Sabbath. Can I ask how you prepare all that food?
+ Jennifer Cooper I prepare all the food on Friday and on Saturday I just have a rest. I am hitting up the food because I have electric cooker and I don't think it qualifies for lighting a fire. I let Holy Spirit to lead me through Torah. Because Shabbat is for man not man for Shabbat :-)
Actually the not lighting a fire command was a ritual, so Yahweh is telling us not to do other rituals as the shabbath is a day of rest, so e.g light a fire in the oven to keep warm (if you live in a cold country) is not what is intended with this command.
"propergunjah" also has a point with using electricity, however, many believers do as the jews and prepare the meals on thursday so that they can just heat them before shabbath and get a day of rest instead of stress.
Oh, and shabbath is from sundown friday until sundown saturday, not sunday.
Proper gun Jah God bless!!!!
A TRUE believer has the law ( Torah ) written in your heart. If this has not happened then you need to start questioning what salvation do you have.
Buckeye Bike if righteousness came by the law, Christ died in vain. Christ is our saboth. Israel stopped believing in the saboth and brought the lame for a sin offering. Christ said, "Abraham knew my day and was glad."
Dying in your sin means that you do not believe in His sacrifice for sin, therefore your going to pay the price instead of believing he paid the price.
We can't keep the law, period! Christ fulfilled the law. The law is still in full force.
www.perfect-sacrifice.com
Buckeye Bike Yes he is. you do not understand scripture. PERIOD!
We find rest in Jesus and also the sabbath was to keep holy one day a week. With the new covenant we keep every single day Holy with Christ as our rest. You want to stay in the old covenant. You have tasted the old wine and say there is no need for the new.
That was for buckeye
Why are you calling people names? The fact that you have people trying to explain the new covenant to you and you simply attack shows you lack humility and love for truth. With out humility the scriptures will remain secret to you and as long as you don't love truth God will not reveal truth to you. Jesus purposely worked on Saturday to show that they had the sabbath all wrong. With Christ our standards are higher than what Moses brought trough the law. One day Holy with Moses while with Christ every day is a sabbath. I don't understand why it doesn't make sense to you brother. Stop being hard hearted and pray about it, God Himself will reveal this to you. Don't take my word but seek the scriptures like the bereans and if you love truth God will show your. Cheers brothers I'm done replying here
All of my Christian friends think that The Messiah has given them "grace" to no longer live with our Father's Instructions. They think that following the Roman worship day is their "Sabbath". When I try to show them that we must keep His Instructions, and tell them that I keep Sabbath; they dirft away from me and stop being my friend.
If your "Christian" friends are American that would explain a lot for Americans are not satisfied with just one Heavenly Father! No! They have dozens of founding Fathers! No wonder America is cursed! The Sabbath follows the lunar-solar calendar of God ... The Sun the greater light the moon the lesser light ...The month begins on the New Moon. The Weekly Sabbaths follow the illuminations of teh moon ergo work 6 rest 7th add the new moon and you come to the 8th day of the new month being the 1st weekly sabbath ... then the 8th then 22nd then 29 ... that is how the Israelites worked for 7 days at Jericho ...
I'm just learning about about Torah and just how narrow the gaits really are! I've started Sabbath for 2 weeks and yes I am starting to stand out! I pray Yahushah continues to open my eyes to walk like Him.
Shalom Christin WELCOME to life! Hang in there IT ONLY GETS BETTER!
i was condemned by the law, not knowing the love of our father. and being lost with the false religions. i tried to change and failed, at the point of giving up, i received love and grace. which i could not have ever experienced in this world. then learning to love god has led me back to observing the law, but now i see it is yahweh's loving way of looking after his people, i love this law now, it reads completely differently to me than before
Matthew 5:17-20
The Fulfillment of the Law
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. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
***** at the time this was written Christianity did not exist . Jesus was a Jew and he was speaking as a Jew about the laws and the prophets that were given to him as a Jew,
you somehow missed that part. he was giving a strict warning NOT to change even the stock of pen from the laws that were given to him.
Jesus said, "If you love me keep my commandments." So if we love Jesus then we must keep/obey the commandments. How can God judge us all in the end if He does not have His laws given? Remember, God is just.
Exactly! If God's Law is abolished/destroyed, what will he judge us by?
@@hanielchesed4346 We are judged by Torah (Jas.2:12).
You have a very narrow view of the Scriptures. You've neglected the majority of Romans and Galatians, along with Philippians 3 and 2 Corinthians 3. Fulfillment of the Law has been replaced by being led by the Spirit.
.Romans 10:4 "Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Galatians 5:6 "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love."
isn't it incredible how some people interpret Scriptures. the new testament repeatedly warns against teach the old law. Acts 15 is so clear... Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: SUBVERTING YOUR SOULS!!!
Amen Brother
Man made law is done away with but the instructions and guidelines of our Creator are never done away with. Learn what the word Law means and that there is more than one understanding.
Thehealthwatchman Oh. So, when was the last time you sacrificed in the Temple? James 2:10 affirms the unity of the Law. I understand that there are different meanings for the term νομος. And I've studied all passages in the NT concerning the Law. It can refer to "a power at work", "inherent sense of morality", "civil law", or the Mosaic Law. However, when referring to the Mosaic law, the NT authors are pretty clear that the Law was intended to point people to Christ by revealing their inability to keep the Law (aka sin). The Mosaic Law was to be replaced by the Spirit, in something known as the New Covenant. Galatians 3 rips your argument apart. There, it is clearly talking about the Mosaic Law. In Romans, Paul is also very clear that the Law cannot justify and it cannot sanctify. Then, he demonstrates that the righteous requirements of the Law are fulfilled in those who walk by the Spirit.
The only problem with your position is that the Bible disagrees with you.
Thehealthwatchman Amein!!!!!
Matthew 5:17-19 "UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE DESTROYED NOT ONE LETTER OF THE LAW SHALL PERISH".
Luke
13:23-24 and 28, “Then said one unto him, Lord,
are there few that be saved?
And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate:
for many, I
say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able ... There shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves
thrust out.”
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom
of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many
will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your
name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your
name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart
from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ The parents of John, and the
prophet Job were called perfect or "Kept the law without fault".
Salvation is not free. Peter said it takes people many trials to get to
Heaven.
Matthew 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.
Its me again.
True deidicated Christains do their best to keep all the comandments of their God. As humans, it is imposible to do it perfectly. But this is what God's Grace is for.
Faith in Jesus is the way to heaven but your good works is evidence of your faith. You can't have one without the other. They both naturally go together.
+Jen M The New Covenant of the Messiah:
Jer 31:31 (31:30) "Here, the days are coming," says Adonai, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra'el and with the house of Y'hudah.
(The day will come when God will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah.)
Jer 31:32 (31:31) It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them," says Adonai.
(The New Covenant will not be like the Old Covenant.)
Jer 31:33 (31:32) "For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra'el after those days," says Adonai: "I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Jer 31:34 (31:33) No longer will any of them teach his fellow community member or his brother, 'Know Adonai'; for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest; because I will forgive their wickednesses and remember their sins no more."
Fulfillment of the New Covenant:
Heb 8:6 But now the work Yeshua has been given to do is far superior to theirs, just as the covenant he mediates is better. For this covenant has been given as Torah on the basis of better promises.
(The New Covenant of Yeshua is superior to the Mosaic Covenant.)
Heb 8:7 Indeed, if the first covenant had not given ground for faultfinding, there would have been no need for a second one.
(If the Old Covenant had been prefect there would not have been a need for the New Covenant.)
Heb 8:8 For God does find fault with the people when he says, " 'See! The days are coming,' says Adonai, 'when I will establish over the house of Isra'el and over the house of Y'hudah a new covenant.
(The New Covenant was made with the House of Israel and Judah.)
Heb 8:9 " 'It will not be like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by their hand and led them forth out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, did not remain faithful to my covenant; so I, for my part, stopped concerning myself with them,' says Adonai.
(The New Covenant is not like the Old Covenant and because Israel broke the Mosaic Covenant, God no longer considers them under it.)
Heb 8:10 " 'For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Isra'el after those days,' says Adonai: 'I will put my Torah in their minds and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
(He writes his law inside of us through His Holy Spirit.)
Heb 8:11 " 'None of them will teach his fellow-citizen or his brother, saying, "Know Adonai!" For all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest,
Heb 8:12 because I will be merciful toward their wickednesses and remember their sins no more.' "
Heb 8:13 By using the term, "new," he has made the first covenant "old"; and something being made old, something in the process of aging, is on its way to vanishing altogether.
(The Old Covenant has become obsolete.)
Foods, Feast Days and Sabbath:
Col 2:16 So don't let anyone pass judgment on you in connection with eating and drinking, or in regard to a Jewish festival or Rosh-Hodesh or Shabbat.
Col 2:17 These are a shadow of things that are coming, but the body is of the Messiah.
(No one is to judge you in foods, or feast days, or Sabbaths.)
Circumcision:
Rom_2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom_2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Gal_6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
The New Commandment of the Messiah:
Joh_13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
(This is a new commandment from Christ, and is not of the Old Covenant.)
Joh_15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
(There are two different types of commandments given here. There are the commandments of Yeshua, which we are to keep and there are those of the Mosaic Covenant, which only Yeshua was able to keep for us.)
Cast out the Old Covenant of Slavery:
Gal 4:23 The one by the slave woman was born according to the limited capabilities of human beings, but the one by the free woman was born through the miracle-working power of God fulfilling his promise.
(Paul is using the examples of Hagar and Sarah to compare the Old Covenant to the New.)
Gal 4:24 Now, to make a midrash on these things: the two women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children for slavery - this is Hagar.
(Here Paul is comparing the Old Covenant to the slave woman, Hagar.)
Gal 4:25 Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Yerushalayim, for she serves as a slave along with her children.
(Hagar represents the covenant given at Sinai. Mt. Sinai is in Arabia.)
Gal 4:26 But the Yerushalayim above is free, and she is our mother;
(We are children of the New Jerusalem, which is now above.)
Gal 4:27 for the Tanakh says, "Rejoice, you barren woman who does not bear children! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the deserted wife will have more children than the one whose husband is with her!"
Gal 4:28 You, brothers, like Yitz'chak, are children referred to in a promise of God.
(We are children of the Gal. 3:16 promise.)
Gal 4:29 But just as then the one born according to limited human capability persecuted the one born through the Spirit's supernatural power, so it is now.
(When Paul wrote this letter the Judaisers were persecuting the Gentile believers.)
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless, what does the Tanakh say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for by no means will the son of the slave woman inherit along with the son of the free woman!"
(Paul says we are to cast out the bondwoman, which is the Old Covenant.)
Gal 4:31 So, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
(We are children of the free woman.)
Gal 5:1 What the Messiah has freed us for is freedom! Therefore, stand firm, and don't let yourselves be tied up again to a yoke of slavery.
(Do not let the Old Covenant become a yoke of slavery upon you.)
Gal 5:2 Mark my words - I, Sha'ul, tell you that if you undergo b'rit-milah the Messiah will be of no advantage to you at all!
(Circumcision is no advantage to those in the Messiah.)
Gal 5:3 Again, I warn you: any man who undergoes b'rit-milah is obligated to observe the entire Torah!
(Those who undergo circumcision are obligated to keep the entire Torah, which no one but Christ has been able to do.)
Gal 5:4 You who are trying to be declared righteous by God through legalism have severed yourselves from the Messiah! You have fallen away from God's grace!
(Those attempting to become righteous through keeping the Torah, have fallen from the Grace of the Messiah.)
The Torah served as a Custodian:
Gal 3:23 Now before the time for this trusting faithfulness came, we were imprisoned in subjection to the system which results from perverting the Torah into legalism, kept under guard until this yet-to-come trusting faithfulness would be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Accordingly, the Torah functioned as a custodian until the Messiah came, so that we might be declared righteous on the ground of trusting and being faithful.
(The Torah functioned as a custodian until the Messiah came.)
Gal 3:25 But now that the time for this trusting faithfulness has come, we are no longer under a custodian.
(We are no longer under the Torah as our custodian, if we have the Holy Ghost inside of us.)
no one goes to heaven. read your bible.
I heard a great voice of much people in heaven,
Jen M John saw under the altar in heaven the souls of those who were beheaded for their witness of Jesus. (Revelation). Paul daid that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Toby Henderson faith without works is dead
Im simply amazed at some of these recent comments, quoting one verse out of context to try to justify lawlessness.
I am not amazed, Yahshua clearly said,
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
He wasn't speaking of the difference between believers and non believer, he was speaking of people within the faith. Think about the number of people who embrace messiah and those who embrace christianity. The numbers between the two are staggering.
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
doomcrue87 Amein!
ShaunMF That narrow gate is His death. Don't you know that so many of you who were baptised, we're baptized into his death?
ShepperdOneill Are you justified by the law?
Let's just get down to brass tacks...Law is torah, torah means instructions. Torah is not JUST the Sinai covenant, it is the ENTIRE first five books of the Bible as well-even the stories about people who lived before the Sinai experience. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Enoch, Cain, etc-all part of torah, all were born before the covenant at Mt Sinai was given...
Even this guy (not Lex, the other guy) points out that "torah" (law) means instructions. You know this.
Did Jesus and the apostles give instructions? yes they did. Were they the same as the Torah (the Old Testament)? Yes because let's take the food laws for example....
Leviticus 15:31 tells us exactly who keeps food laws and why. Not the nations around, and not people without a temple of God in their midst. animals that were called "unclean" he says "these will be an abomination TO YOU". Not to anyone else. Why? Because Leviticus 11-15 which include ALL of the purity laws which included, but was not limited to animals, and with the actual reason they were not allowed to eat them is in Leviticus 15:31. You can look it up, but the reason these laws were given were not because these animals would make you sick and not because they were not food for other people and not because some of them are the vacuum cleaners of the earth or don't sweat out their toxins or any of the other nonsense that I and others who were formerly Hebrew Roots use to say, but for one reason:
TO KEEP THE TEMPLE IN THEIR MIDST UNDEFILED. (Leviticus 15:31)
These laws also included women on their monthly cycle and women who recently gave birth and people with open sores like leprosy and anyone who recently had discharge etc. Yet I don't see anyone barring women from entering the congregation or accusing them of being unclean and impure or soon after having a baby telling them they are unclean or anyone stopping women who are on their period from entering the congregation. Are these women unclean in and of themselves? I am going to hope your answer is no. These things were an ILLUSTRATION for a future time that had to do with EXTERNAL REGULATIONS UNTIL THE TIME OF REFORMATION. (see Hebrews 9:10) remember that Hebrews is written to a HEBREW audience. the word "reformation" has been translated from "diorthosis" which means:
1. Ammendment
2. Improvement
3. Reformation
So don't act like it's lawlessness to eat animals that were only considered "set apart" for an age, UNTIL the reformation which is an amendment and improvement to the former time. It's lawlessness to misinterpret the torah itself by not not being aware of what it actually says and accusing others of being lawless when what Paul said straightforward about all creatures being good and acceptable with the word of God and prayer (the word of God being that he KNEW WHY the foods were once not to be eaten, but were now ok due to the reformation and due to Leviticus 15:31) and why Jesus said that nothing a man puts in his body makes him unclean. He meant what he said. The animals themselves are not unclean! They were an abomination to ISRAEL because the temple was in their midst. They were not an abomination before that or after that because Noah could eat all creeping things that creep on the ground and no, remes is not limited to sea creatures and if we want to get technical, the septuagint actually translated remes as "reptiles" and either way, reptiles were also forbidden under the Sinai covenant, but not for Noah.
Jesus gave instructions! The apostles gave instructions! So when Jesus says "you who practice lawlessness" you should read this as: You who do not follow the instructions of God and in case you missed it-the instruction of God was that certain animals were not to be sacrificed or eaten UNTIL the time of reformation BECAUSE the temple was in their midst. SO Jesus and the apostles did NOT teach against torah and yet they taught that man can eat all animals as food.
Do you understand?
If not, read Leviticus 11-15 paying close attention to the end of Leviticus 15 and verse 31 which tells us WHY all of these purity laws were necessary.
Then read Hebrews 9 paying close attention to Hebrews 9:10.
If you are really torah observant, then understand what the torah says-the TORAH says that all foods/all animals are clean UNLESS you were living in the area of the temple.
I don't know if you realize this, but the tabernacle and temple are gone. And just because Paul said that we are the temple now, does NOT mean that every OT law applies to your body because if that's the case, then how do women even live with themselves being unclean in their own temple after childbirth or during their monthly cycle! They would be a walking abomination!
My gosh. I hate to get riled, but I was Hebrew Roots and I noticed these things myself in the Torah and when I asked about them no one had a good answer, because there is no good answer than the OBVIOUS answer which I just explained.
There are many more answers like this to all of the laws that the New Testament says we don't need to keep, so how do people who claim to and brag that they read the "whole word of God" miss these things?
I don't know. I WAS reading the whole word of God and I noticed them and I got out of Hebrew Roots.
I wanna keep torah but I don't know how I am a Christian I believe in Jesus and I'm so confused about this but I believe in every word that was said
+carla Rodriguez Your desire to love and obey His instructions is so beautiful to Him. I was in the church many years before I realized that what I was being told was very different than what the Scriptures are saying. 119 Ministries has a great website with hundreds of topics about our walk in the ancient paths. Most of them are here on youtube.
Thanks I appreciate you saying that truth is I love God with my all and yea my only desire is to please him because he has done some many miracles in my life but thanks i'ma look for them
+carla Rodriguez I believe in Him too :-) He wrote the law in my heart. It's written in Jeremiah "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people". The song of Moses & the song of the Lamb is the very same song, of the very same God, of the very same spiritual law. It's really very simple. Please let me show you how Moses really does agree with the Lamb. The Lamb said "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." So let's take a look at the torah/law of Moses that Moses wrote against the rebellious Levite priesthood (and then see how the new testament agrees). Moses tells the Levites-> (Deuteronomy 31:26) Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. OK... NOW NEW TESTAMENT-> (Hebrews 7:11, 12) If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. YES INDEED... MOSES WROTE A LAW WITNESS AGAINST THE OLD PRIESTHOOD & THE LAW "CHANGED" (AS IT IS WRITTEN). But there are false teachers among the people who reject Moses & the Lamb. And some of the false teachers call themselves rabbis. (Matthew 23:8) But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. YUP... THOSE (so called) "rabbis" simply reject the truth for a rabbi status. The fact is... The children of Israel refused to keep that very old law covenant that God made with them. So our Passover Lamb did something out of such great love (that rabbis simply reject to their own destruction). The evidence of a covenant law change is overwhelming. Jeremiah wrote of a new covenant that was not according to the old one (which covenant they broke). And our Passover Lamb/Mediator of the new covenant has already confirmed that new covenant with many. As I say... He wrote it in my heart. OLD TESTAMENT-> (Jeremiah 31:32, 33) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. NEW TESTAMENT-> (Hebrews 8:6, 7) But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. THE REAL LAMB OF GOD only wants people to do His commandments of love. That's all. (Matthew 22:35-40) Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. :-)
+carla Rodriguez He says, if you love Me, you will keep My commands. God's eternal laws. His Torah.
+anaya tallah I know anaya I was a christian who thought that the law was fulfil by Yeshua but he open my eyes and now I know I gotta keep his comanmends
That is another matter, it's one thing to obey the Father's commandments and an entirely different matter to think that the directives found in the Torah actually save our soul. Yahushua is my saving grace, my example "to walked just as He had walked". James said, "show me your faith and I will show you my faith by my works". Read the whole chapter. James said that faith is dead without works. The works don't save but they prove that faith is evident in the follower. As Abraham was justified.
If we have to keep the Law, then why did ALL of the apostles oppose it? Acts 15:24 "Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:"
The 10 commandments is the Old Covenant (Exodus 34:27-28) but Christ is the New Covenant (Isaiah 42:6, Hebrews 7:22) who is a better Covenant than the law (Hebrews 7:12-22). To go back and follow the Old Covenant will cause you to fall from Grace (Galatians 4:21-5:6).
Grace is not for disobeying Torah. But grace given when we try obey Torah and goes wrong, instead of punishment Yah be gracious for ur to learn more. Be Holy as I'm Holy he said. We must pursue this journey Alex.
Israelites SAVED by grace but not all went into promised land. Those who obeyed only made it. Likewise we saved from slavery of sin by grace. But Eternal life, our Promise Land we have to journey towards it by obeying Torah.
Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14:12
Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:14
We need both Faith in Christ and obedience to Torah. Isralites obey commandments but failed to believe in Messiah and Christians vise versa. Sad..
1John 2
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of Elohim perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
How did Messiah walk? against the law or in obedience to it? we are commanded to walk like him, unless this is a lie.
"Law and grace are not opposites." Amen! Thank you for this wonderful video.
Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time
The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits
So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply
Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )
Satan has used the early church fathers to defile the salvation message.Mankind does not want to submit to Gods commandments.
I am very encouraged following brother Lex Unlearn
lessons.
I have been believing lots of lies from the church pulpit.
I truly want to learn the Word of God directly from God not from man interpretations.
Thank God for Lex ministry that helps me to unlearn lots of the lies which I have believed for so as 50 years!
Truly Thank God for sending Lex to teach me directly from the Word of God.
Bless your ministry and your love for Him!
I discovered we're supposed were supposed to follow the Torah last week. This is terrifying but I feel so relieved. God bless you brother
What will happen to believers who have been lied to about the Torah? Can they still be saved? After all, God is merciful. The belief that Torah is abolished is so ingrained in the minds of mainstream Christians due to leaders in Christianity misinterpreting Scripture to fit that view. So they are entirely unaware and can't believe what us Messianic Jews say. I've been trying to teach my family (my parents, brother and later my extended family) this, but my dad (an Anglican pastor) who I usually spoke to this about is resistant. I worry my conversion to Messianic Judaism with tear a rift in my family and I can't bear the thought of my family being led astray in false doctrine.
Jesus did say he came to bring devision. The wise and the foolish.
Not to sound mean, but even in the book of Revelation- there are those with hearts so hard- they refuse to repent- even when facing plagues and curses.
I have an experiment I love to do with people who call themselves "Christian" and say they do not have to keep the Commandments....
I go through each one of the Commandments one at a time (leaving the 4th for last) I read it to them and ask if it is OK to have other gods before the one true God?.... They will always say no.... The I ask if it is OK to create an idol to fall down and worship/... Again they will say no.... Can I know take God's Holy naje in vain?.... Again the answer is no..... I do this with all the Commandments (leaving the 4th out of it for the time being) and always they will begin to realize the Commandments have to be kept.... Then I read the 4th Commandment and right away they will say that is the one that is done away.... That we now must keep Sunday.....
That opens up a dialogue to explain when the Sabbath was created and that it was given at creation.... and then go on to explain how it is for everyone and how the Catholics have sought to change it not God, Not Jesus..... I have even had JWs switch their thinking when presented in this fashion.... They cannot get around it.....
Why is their no search for the 12 tribes?
Yehsua told us not to Sin over and over again, Sinning is breaking Torah (The Law)
Keeping the TORAH is really hard, a CHALLENGE which gets easier with practice and as you feel the BLESSING of the life style overwhelm with obedience of abiding in YESHUA HA'MASHIASH (HE IS THE TORAH )
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself
Galatians 5:14
@Stock Raising jesus is the way my friend nothing else can save ya
@Stock Raising The bible is false??? He quoted Galatians 5:14.
@Stock Raising You don't seem to understand the context of Galatians 5:14. Paul is talking about the entire law concerning human relationships. Try reading the Amplified Bible, it helps clear up a lot of confusion with passages like these.
@Stock Raising The entire law concerning human relationships.
@Stock Raising God is always first,and then who is second?,your neighbor,and who is your neighbor?…Luke 10:25-37
King James Version
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
And also
Matthew 19:16-24
King James Version
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Keeping the Law and having faith by grace you've been saved are different things that many believers confuse. "Think not that I am come to undo the law or the prophets; I am not come to undo, but to fulfill." Mathew 15:7
When you go to another country there are laws you have to keep, but keeping those laws will never make you a citizen of that country. And being a citizen of a country doesn't mean you don't have to keep it's laws otherwise you'll be considered an outlaw always creating chaos.
The purpose of the law is not salvation, and grace & faith doesn't replace the law. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
I assume we all try to follow the laws of the land? Howmuch more important should Gods laws be to us. It is not anything harmful to do so. It is obedience. It is not salvation. But doesnt every Father desire obidence from his children?
As always thank you 🙏 again for your wonderful ministry and all your wonderful prayers for me GBU and yours
Christians must keep the Torah
+Josue Rodriguez they cant
they are IDOL WORSHIPERS get it???????????????????????????????????
amen
+carla Rodriguez are Jewish, and are all of you Jewish?
Where in new testament scripture does it say that?
P.S., context:
Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected? And the Scripture was filled which says, “Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was called, “Elohim’s friend.” You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone. -James 2:22-24.
Brother Jonathan, I partially agree with you, the keeping of the Torah is not hard, it impossible, there ain't one Jew in this world keeping all of the Torah, and if it was, they can move their chair next to Christ and rule with him. The law was meant to be impossible to keep to point out the love of the farther thru his son Jesus, and if u reject the chief cornerstone and live under the law then u will become a slave and the law will be your task master, I prefer to be a slave for Jesus Christ
so you calling God a liar when he said it s not too hard for us well done blasphemer
I disagree totally.... Yes, we can keep it and it is foolish to say God would give us impossible Commandments that we cannot keep.... Yes we can keep them until they get in our way, that's when we break them....
Are you telling me you cannot go one day without bowing down to an idol or stealing, lying or murdering someone?.... If you can't, you have a bigger problem than God's laws.... You can't get through the day without lusting after your neighboir's spouse?.... Wow..... The one people have the problem with is #4 the Sabbath Day when God tells you to rest.... You cannot rest for one day?....
Law was for the Israelites. It was like a school master. Jesus fulfilled the whole law. All of them. Have faith in Jesus Christ. The work to salvation was all done by him. We are saved by our faith. Not by any works. There is a whole book on gentiles now being under the law.
@@defendingthefaith.7889
1.) Are you not grafted into Israel? Of course the Law is for Israel!
2.) Yahshua said, "I did not come to abolish the Law..." (Matt 5:17)
3.) "Faith without works is dead..." (James 2:26)
Maybe you should watch the video with Bible in hand my friend :)
Defender Of Truth are you saying we should all follow the 613 laws to the tee? Is the New Testament epistles irreverent?
What law of Torah did the thief who died on the cross next to Yeshua follow when he was gifted with Paradise?
I am reminded of a certain word spoken, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Now, atheists in particular would have a fit if Christians on the whole believed that they were still to follow all of the Torah laws, for example, those regarding stoning, but of course, what they don't understand is the TRUE interpretation and understanding of such things, which Yeshua of course knew and communicated to those of us who had been too ignorant in our minds/spirit to truly understand, e.g. "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone." See, indeed He did not come to _'change'_ the law... but to help us to _truly_ understand it (as well as, in His words, "fulfill" it). So for example, one who picks up a stone to throw it at another, is really in actual fact committing a sin, in _violation_ of God's true law, in that, had the law truly been followed, they would not even be alive still to even be able to pick it up in the first place, because they would surely already have been stoned to death themselves! So they are really hypocrites in that they are just as guilty and therefore just as deserving of the same fate! And even then, you run into the same issue (_WHO_ would have been righteous enough to have done _them_ in?? ha ha, NO ONE!! :D Oh, the beauty of God's undying and eternal wisdom. In truth it is really so much simpler than we tend to even realize much less appreciate, and yet, we still are all too often too simple minded nevertheless to get it on our own. It really is amazing God's wisdom, the more you learn it. It's a continuous process of learning and evolving in God's word and the true understanding of it.
No I wouldn't say that. Nothing was condensed. Please ready 1 John 3:4 that should make it clean. Also if you think of the Golden Rule, remember this "If you love me you will keep my commands"
You can keep the Torah, I will keep Jesus (Gal, Collotians etc.)
Repent !
U fail to understand pauls writings
You missed the who point of this video. 1 John 3:4 Those who love me will keep my commands!
May Yahuwah bless you... Love your videos amd Yahuwah is using you to guide people in the way he wanted to and open their eyws
Please see all my videos. I focus on the Full Bible. Torah is the foundation.
Many will say..
"Of course I love God!!!!"
And the same will try to use the very words of God to explain this away:
"For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are NOT GREVIOUS.
1 John 5:3"
Its clear that people want to be free to indulge the lusts of their flesh while keeping Ha Mashiach (Christ) as a easy out.
Don't you people understand that ACCODING TO THE BIBLE:
"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
1 John 3:4"
You can't be repentant and following Christ... Nor can you say you Love the Father IF YOU TRANSGRESS THE LAW!! SINNERS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM!
CHIRST ONLY FULLFILLED THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN OF HIM (Luke 24:44).
Follow and believe on Chirst RIGHTEOUSNESS sake...Keep the law and turn away from your sins in OBEDIENCE!!!
PAUL KEPT THE LAW...SO DID ALL THE APOSTLES...SO DID CHRIST
There are 2 different laws.
The law of Grace,
The importance is that you are born again in the spirit.
The law is perfect but we can not be perfect without
Jesus
he is the fulfiller of the law
of Love.
Sarah Pettersson
There are more than 2 different laws...
Grace is not a law...its a period of time aloted for repentance before your date with the dirt...
Christ fulfilled the law according to the Levitical priesthood.. He is the eternal priest and king out of the order of Melchizedek
Love in the bible is defined as keeping the commandments...
Christ gave you righteousness to all those who believe ... There is still a requirement for obedience...you will not inherit the Kingdom without both according to the manuscript!

I agree with you!
With all due respect to you, I would like to show you that we are no longer to follow the Old covenant law, but the New covenant law of Christ. Since the law has changed (Hebrews 7:12) we are to follow the law of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:20-21, Galatians 6:2) the law of Faith (Romans 3:27-28) and the law of the Spirit, but no longer the Old covenant law of sin and death (Romans 8:2, 2Corinthians 3:6-17). The 10 commandments is the Old Covenant (Exodus 34:27-28) but Christ is the New covenant (Isaiah 42:6) who is a better covenant than the law (Hebrews 7:12-22).
Christ's commandments of the New covenant is to Love as He did (John 13:34) and believe/Faith (John 3:16) which is bearing Fruit of the Spirit (Matthew 7:15-20, Galatians 5:22-23). The only way we can bear Fruit of the Spirit is through Christ, but not without Him (John 15:5). Once we start to bear Fruit we no longer need the Old covenant law because Christ's law of the Spirit brings life, but the Old law can only kill and condemn (2Corinthians 3:6-17). That is why we must now live according to the Fruit of the Spirit rather then the Old law; for if you continue in the Old law it will put you under bondage and cause you to fall from Grace (Galatians 4:21-5:6). The Fruit of the Spirit AKA law of Christ/Faith is only what truly saves and that is why we don't follow the Old law anymore: Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Jeremiah predicted that the law would be written in our hearts, but it is the law of Christ not the Old covenant law; For it is Love, which is the commandment of Christ that will show who are born again (John 13:34-35). The righteous are justified by Faith, but not the works of the law (Romans 3:20-28). Paul and John both give testimony that it is Christ's Commandment of Love that should be in our heart (as Jeremiah predicted) to show we are saved: Romans 5:5 "And hope taketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
1 John 4:7-8 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
So, does that mean we must follow the entire law or just the moral law????
the torah is the first five books of the Bible. They are not from Moses, they are from our Creator and Yeshua taught that every person should observe the instructions of the Torah.
Read the hole bible.
Jesus worked on the sabbath, that's why the Jews was so furious and killed him because they said he trangressed the law. .
The Sabbaths and the feasts are only foreshadowing of what's to come.
The spirit will guide you into ALL Truth when you ask him.
It's impossible to understand this by your own .
That is a LIE on Yeshua (Jesus)! He did NOT work on the Sabbath. He HEALED on the Sabbath! Now .... you go read the Torah and tell us where it says that you cannot heal on the Sabbath. What Yeshua did was to break the "Traditions of the Elders" (aka Oral Law). Please do not respond or post on this matter if you're not versed in what the Torah says. I don't mean to be harsh, but please, do not EVER lie on Yeshua - not EVER.
I'm posting the following scripture references for your consideration and obedience:
1, Remember and observe Shabbat (Ex 20:8 / 31:13, De 5:12)
2. Remember that you were once a slave in Egypt (aka the World). (De 5:15)
3. Gather together for a holy convocation (Le 23:3)
4. Call Shabbat a delight and honorable. (Is 58:13-14)
5. Do not persue your own desires on Shabbat (Is 58:13)
6. Do not work on Shabbat (Ex 20:9-10)
7. Do not cook on Shabbat (Ex 16:23)
8. Do not kindle a fire on Shabbat (Ex 35:3)
9. Do not participate in commerce on Shabbat (Ne 10:31, Je 17:21-22)
* Shabbat is from Sundown Friday to Sundown Saturday *
I'd challenge that(Sarah's assertion that Jesus broke the law of Yahweh). Did Jesus work? Did he build a boat? Work his day job. Take money for services. Gain profit from his actions. Christ said, 'it is not a violation of the Sabbath to do good'. He still observed the Torah.
Austin B.R. Ferrell what about the part that says he should stone mary magdelene... was he keeping the law when he didnt stone her?
Austin B.R. Ferrell we are not under the law, if we keep it great, if we dont, still great cos jesus did it for us..but if we think we can get to God BY keeping the law, we are likely to end up in hell
Moses never made up any law. What in the world are you talking about? The instructions of how we are to live come from Our Creator. Please read your Bible.
And here we are back in Acts 15 again. No, we are not to keep the Law of Moses. Period.
“For from the first ages there have been preachers for Moses who read him on every Sabbath in every town in the synagogues.”
-Acts 15: 21
It is assumed they would learn the law during Sabbath.
So what you are saying... Is that l must quit my job ... Since it over laps with Sabbath sometimes...
It is my understanding that Christ fulfilled the law, and as Christians, we are no longer under its demands. However, faith alone contradicts scripture quite clearly:
"you see then that a man is justified [made righteous] by works, and not by faith only" (Jam 2:24).
No where in scripture does it say that we are justified by faith "alone".
"Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" (Jam 2:17)
Moreover, St. Paul makes it quite clear when he says, "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?"
Romaion Torah does not mean law
The Health Watchman With all respect, your title says that, "we must keep the law (Torah)".
What laws are you referring to that we must keep?
Romaion Many people call the Torah "Law" so that is why it is in the title but No where in the Bible does it say the Torah is done away with. Yehsua did away with the man made laws, not the Torah
The Health Watchman I think you're right, but the Torah contains all the laws. How can we be sure, from evidence in the NT, which laws were kept and which discarded? When Paul talks about righteousness by faith, and not the letter of law, I am confused as to which law he is referring.
Romaion This is how I see it.

Grace is wide in the beginning while we are learning because God knows we are going to make mistakes, but as we start to walk out a redemptive lifestyle the way we are supposed to, it becomes the narrow path.
Grace will always be there as a buffer because we are not perfect and we will fall from time to time, but Grace is not to be intended or perceived as the church is teaching it to be, “Once saved always saved,” “We are living in the age of Grace” and so on.
Once we mature in God and learn how to walk out a redemptive lifestyle within the Law, Grace is supposed to be relied on less and less and not something we are to continually lean on as an excuse or a crutch. That’s like staying an infant all your life.
Once we mature and learn to live the way God wants us to within the Law, that is where real blessings start being bestowed upon our lives. And it’s not really ‘LAW’ at all; it’s actually ‘Teaching and Instruction.’
When we walk out of God’s veil of protection, it’s not God who punishes us. We are punishing ourselves because we are letting our guard down. We are shedding our protective ‘Holy Spirit’ armor and satan comes in. We suffer the consequences of our own disobedience and sin.
Living God’s Law is not hard. I will be the first to tell you IT’S EASY. For the first time in my life I feel and see everything as it should be. . .

If the 7 th day is the sabbath than y than start sabbath on Friday at sundown?????
The biblical days are from sundown to sundown. Hope it helps =)
This will destroy your Christians doctrine. Sin = Lawlessness.
1 John 3:4 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is
lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away
our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on
sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does
what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does
what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from
the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the
devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because
God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have
been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are
and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is
right is not God’s child
Find somewhere without distractions pray and read or listen to His Word.
Shabbat Shalom
RIGHTEOUSNESS is Obedience. They are one in the same; you cannot have RIGHTEOUSNESS without obedience, and there is NO obedience outside of RIGHTEOUSNESS. They are the same.
If you are not, or no longer, following the Law for Righteousness, or an attempt at being Righteous, what are you doing it for? There is no other reason other than for Righteousness to follow the Law. But, as I mentioned before...
"For Christ is the END OF THE LAW for righteousness to every one that believes." - Romans 10:4
If Christ is the END OF THE LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS (and He is), it is ended for all things, for all reasons, for all time. In other words, it has just plain ENDED.
Following the law for righteousness is over; therefore, the law is OVER. There is NO OTHER REASON FOR THE LAW but for Righteousness.
If it is ended for RIGHTEOUSNESS, is there another reason you follow the law, Christian? What, for UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? For fun? Because by doing so, you think it will make you somehow MORE RIGHTEOUS?
YOU ARE NOT THINKING CLEARLY. You need your mind renewed on God's Word!
What kind of careers do Sabbath keepers have not to work on Friday and Saturday? Most jobs include these days. How can I stay away from that?
Many actually.
City, County and State employees most work Monday through Friday, same often too for Federal employees, and private businesses like doctor, dentist and lawyer offices as well.
Christians don't keep the Torah(Law) because Christians are under Grace. When Jesus Christ went to the cross, He took the Law with Him meaning that since He was perfect and without sin, the Law demanded a sacrifice for sin and Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb who initially came to take the sin away. The Law was given so that we would know what sin is. and since no one could keep the Law perfectly, Jesus came to fulfill the Law by nailing it to the cross. The last 3 words He uttered while on the cross before He died were..I is finished. There is no need to live by the Law but by Grace through Jesus Christ alone.
Yeshua came to do away with the Law of Man, NOT the instructions of God. We need to follow the commandments, they were never done away with.
To me Torah Life Ministries seem like you might be modern day judaizers the likes of which the the early Chistians had to deal with, Being led straight back into Judaism after coming to Salvation in Jesus.
@@TorahLifeMinistries Why you say Christians are wrong?
No one is able to keep the Torah perfectly, but we must at least try too. It is commanded to obey. We are saved by Grace yes, but also Yahshua said He did not come to abolish the Torah but to Fulfill it. And...Matthew 5:18: "For truly I say to you that until Heaven and earth pass away not one Yodh or one stroke will pass from the Torah until everything happens." EVERYTHING. Not just until Yahshua's death and resurrection.
It amazes me about all the ppl pointing out the keeping of the law, I was just wondering is there anyone still making sacrifices or is that portion covered by the blood of Christ, oops my bad, forgot u r still waiting on the Messiah, hold on while I update my bible, Daniel 9:25 must be wrong, along with Isaiah 53
Praise Yahweh, I am a born again believer in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and I am a member of the SDA Church. I prayed and asked Yahweh for the truth after listening to the Trinity Broadcast Network and almost everything that they were quoting from the Bible was actually not Bible quotes but misquotes. A few nights later Yahweh showed me His truths. He showed that there are intentional lies being told in the Protestant Church concerning His Divine Law. It is refreshing to see God's anointed Messengers do the will of God and preach His TRUTH. I love what you teach. I am learning from your anointing. My prayer is that before the ROMAN Catholic Church, through the Pope legistrate the NEW LAW commanding all the inhabitants of the Earth to worship the Beast on his appointed day of worship, which will most likely be sun-day, the day that the Luciferians worship the sun-god on; that Elohyim's People will listen to and hear Jesus' voice mentioned in Revelation 18:4 saying, "Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins" speaking of coming out of the demon worship system of Spiritual Babylon. Worship today on Yahweh's seventh day or worship to the Beast is the issue in these last days right before Jesus' second coming.
Christ is our Passover (1Corinthians 6:7) and we are not justified by the deeds of the Law (Romans 3:20) and in chapter 4:5, it says "But he that worketh not, but believeth on him that justified the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
and if you are washed in the blood of the Lamb (pries the Lord for that if it be so) then why do you insist that we all follow many of the old laws?
in 1Corinthians 11 it talks about the headcovering (long hair) for woman. then it says in verse 16 "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."
Did someone say the law is for salvation? We are only saved by the blood of
Messiah however we should seek to do the law not to be saved by because
we are save
Torah Life Ministries i would say the Law for us a born again believers is to preach the gospel into all of the world, plant spiritual seeds. if they grow into fruitful spiritual trees, well. but if it false (corrupt tree with such fruit) then that's between them and God
this is the most important thing to do. as a born again believer, then there is praying to God, giving him thanks, and glory.
but i'll have you know i'm a man, i do not have a beard. and i can tell you for a curtain. i am NOT a sodomite.
to say a man who has no beard is a sodomite just makes you a fool in that regard.
The Lord is leading me to no longer celebrate the worldly pagan holidays that the Christian and catholic religions observe. Christmas, Easter, new Year's, etc. All of these have wicked pagan influences. The Lord specifically told us to not follow the ways of pagans. That is exactly what Christians are doing by observing those hollidays. The Sabbath is not on Sunday. That was something the Catholic church came up with. God gives us specific feast or Holiday's that we are to observe that are honoring to him.
No, we don't have to keep the law. Which law, by the way? All 613 commandments? Certainly not! Why would ceremonial or civil laws be important for us today??? What we follow is the Moral law, 10 commandments, but not because of justification or salvation. Also, we are not called to keep the Sabbath anymore in the NT. OT law is one of those topics which separate many Christians, for example like gifts of the Spirit, or calvinism vs arminianism, and similar. There are PLENTY of verses in Ephesians 2:15, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews chapters 7-10, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:6-16, Acts 15, James 2:8-13, etc. telling us that we are not under the law. Nor are we, gentiles, called to obey something that even old Jews could. Those who wanna obey the law, have to obey the WHOLE law, which is impossible, and are being cut off from the grace of God found only in Christ Jesus. All the festivals are rules and laws were obsolete and shadow of things pointing to Jesus - Author and Perfecter of our faith, so that through Him we can come boldly to the throne of grace. Both Jesus and apostles summed up the Moral law (10 commandments) into 2, which are to love God and people.
It saddens and frustrates me seeing teachers of the law trying to put a yoke on Christians that no one could carry, which also happened in Acts 15. Those who wanna have the law with all 613 commandments and observe it can say GOOD BYE to Christ.
I am SHOCKED how many people are falling into this trap and wanna follow the law. I met people who are observing OT festivals without any good reason. Jesus is Passover, Jesus is the perfect Lamb, Jesus is the High Priest, Jesus's body is the curtain of the temple which split, Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. By having Jesus and following Him we have SALVATION. His disciples didn't instruct other Jews, even less gentiles, to follow the law. If that would've happened, Jesus came and died in vain.
In order for you to understand the OT law you have to look in through the NT Epistles that Paul wrote, and through Jesus' life. And in order of you to understand Matthew 5:17-19 that every teacher of the law loves to quote, you will have to face it against ALL those verses i put in the beginning - Ephesians 2:15, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews chapters 7-10, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:6-16, Acts 15, James 2:8-13, and THEN get the message!
You still wanna follow anything else besides the Moral law which God engraved on our hearts in the New covenant? Ok, good luck, but you won't be pleasing God by that because "IT IS FINISHED" and you certainly won't be granted salvation based on that, because "Jesus is THE END of the law for everyone who believes."
Amen, amen, and amen.
TheNikolinho ..yes and christmas and easter is christian too...oops or is that just more of your pagan worship. .and dont forget 🎃
In the Old Testament Israelites freely saved by Yahovah’s grace. He delivered them from their house of bondage in Egypt. They were promised to inherit the Canaan. But, once they stepped out of their slavery, they were not in the Canaan immediately!! The redemption was FREE but they have to journey through wilderness in order to enter into promised land! Likewise, once we saved from our slavery to sin (by grace of course), we are still have to run the race toward our Promised Land which is our eternal life. We have to pursue it!
The law followed God’s gracious saving act of Israelites. Israel was meant to show their gratitude for God’s deliverance by obeying him and keeping his commands. This did not to save them - they were ALREADY saved!
In the same way today, we are ALREADY saved by believing what Christ has done on our behalf at calvary. We cannot save ourselves. We are saved through grace. No one can earn the salvation by action or work of the law. Salvation is a gift by God to us.
But once saved, we gratefully seek to do His will to please him. This is why I am obeying the law. The Scriptures everywhere speak about these truth. Love and obedience goes together
Yahusha is not End of law but Goal. Please see Strong's of the that verse brother.
So is it okay for a Christian to commit adultery? To lie, cheat, steal or murder? How about taking the Lord's name in vain or worship statues?
TheNikolinho you are so lost
To anyone reading this at Torah life ministry's... My name is Bryana and I am a Christian convert to Judaism I love my Jewish life style it has really changed me forever as a person. To get to the point I to have similar beliefs that the way to salvation is through Jesus teaching but the word is all to often misinterpreted. I am blessed to say God gave me a spiritual awaking and I haven't been the same since. I would love to speak to someone from your ministry on the topic of maybe hearing my story. I think you may find a ton of value in it.
Awesome video, really made sence for a New2Torah person! :) Thanks
...is that we perfectly understand Yahushua provides us with our righteousness. We understand a life of works is worthless without love. But you fail to realize that loving Yahweh means you obey His Torah. Yahushua says this over and over in scripture.
Haha im a Christians , yeah that's true majority of Sunday Keepers telling that that law r for the Jews and we r under by grace not in the law of Jews ,only one thing they don't like is the Sabbath. The law from all mankind Jews and Christians are man and we have under the law of God that we hve to obey and walk and not to violet it,
Galatians 5:12
This is very fundamental to say the least. If I may add to it, this is how I see it.

Galatians 5:4
“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”
So Paul was just joking in Rom.2:13? Not! Paul applies ALL Torah to you (2Ti.3:16).
Gal.5:4-5 is critiquing those who seek justification by law WITHOUT faith.
Paul requires justification by law (Rom.2:13) AND faith (Rom.5:1), TOGETHER.
@@bibleguy9857 I am glad that you keep Torah and all, but I read Galatians 5, and I see that Galatians 5:4 is talking about circumcision. The previous verse is about circumcision , so it should help us figure out the rest of Galatians. For example, Galatians 5:18 says this, "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law." This is NOT in any way talking about the law of Moses, this is talking about the law of Sin. If you find a verse you don't understand, read the whole chapter in context, don't always take someone's word for it. I just wanted to correct you, and I am glad that we have a Torah to tell us how to live.
@@Solsprite Gal. 5, in context, is OBVIOUSLY referring to the entire law (in addition to specific elements of the law). For example, Gal. 5:14 refers to THE ENTIRE LAW. So, Gal. 5 is not merely about "circumcision", although that's an issue being dealt with by Paul in Galatians, of course. Thanks for the comment. Blessings.
We have law of Moses because we are Christians, keep torah with u
l believe we ALL have to come together and sometimes exept that we believe a bit differently than someone else. Telling of the scriptures but not fighting and arguing cuz lt leads no where !
Shalom brother Paul,
I literally just thought to myself, "Paul is a wiser man then me because he realizes that sometimes there is no reasoning with people". I'm sorry Paul, I didn't mean to go overboard on your channel. I really have a hard time understanding some of these people. There was a reason James was inspired by the Father to write "Faith is dead without works". Thank you and may Yeshua bless you and your family. - In Mashiach.
Jesus abolished the law and established Grace we are not to be judaised,Hebrew 10;9
***** so what does "there is no jew or gentile in Him mean then my dear??"
galatians 3v;28, colossians 3v11,
He did not come abolish, but to fulfill. But, the word fulfill means _to bring to completion that which was promised_.
Many quote Matthew 5:18 to say that the law is still in effect, but they fail to read on.
_17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 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_*_._
What does this "all is accomplished" mean? I would argue that it had to do the redemption of mankind and Jesus fulfilling His mission on earth.
_Luke __18:31__ Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished._
All was accomplished at the cross. A way of salvation has been made, the kingdom of God is at hand.
+omnicopy You're wasting your time with this one, I'm afraid that he is an enemy of the cross.
***** It's the book of Galatians all over again.
+Buckeye Bike _John __8:42__ Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 43“Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies._
Is the practice of stoning an adult truth part of the law? It was a commandment given to Moses
Yes, it's true, the Law prescribed death for those who broke it. But that's exactly why Jesus came : to become the Lamb of God and bear the penalty on our behalf. Hope it helps =)
Who also who can deny the word of the messiah yashua I did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill but I tell you this till heaven and earth pass not one tittle or one jot should be taken away from the law till all be fulfilled
Amein!
Reasons Why Jesus Christ Has Become Our Sabbath Rest
The Sabbath was a command given specifically to Israel.
There is no biblical record whatsoever of anybody keeping the Sabbath prior to Exodus 16 (Neh. 9:13-14). Even after they received the full-blown Sabbath command (Ex. 20:8-11), Israel who often condemned the sins of her pagan neighbors, never criticized their violation of the Sabbath.
The Sabbath was part of God’s ceremonial law and not grounded in His unchanging character.
The Sabbath was a ceremonial law given specifically to Israel, not grounded in God’s unchanging nature. Similar to the entire old covenant, it has been fulfilled and brought to completion in Christ (Mt. 5:17). If David had a right to make an exception in the ceremonial law, Jesus had more (Mt. 12:1-8; c.f 5:21-48). Even Jesus said," The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" (Mk. 2:27). Moreover, He called Himself the "Lord of the Sabbath" (Lk. 6:5).
The Sabbath was the sign of the Old Covenant
(Ex. 31:16-17; Neh. 9:14; Eze. 20:12). Because we are now under the New Covenant we are no longer under obligation to keep the Old Covenant, particularly the sign of the Old Covenant. The writer to the Hebrews remarked, "When He said, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear" (Heb. 8:13).
The New Testament nowhere commands Christians to observe the Sabbath.
The church is warned of many sins in the New Testament, but breaking (or observing) the Sabbath is never mentioned. The book of Acts mentions the Sabbath nine times, never once as a day of worship for Christians. If anything, the Apostle Paul rebuked the Galatians for attempting to add the observance of days to the sufficiency of Christ’s work for salvation (Gal. 4:9-11). The church even changed their day of worship from Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) (Ac. 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2) to show that a new order had been erected with the resurrection of Christ (Jn. 20:1, 19).
Jesus Christ through His redemptive work regained the Sabbath that Adam lost.
Jesus Christ came to complete a redemptive work (Jn. 4:34; 5:36) by restoring the rest that was forfeited in the Garden. In following the same pattern for the first creation, Jesus Christ began the work spoken of in Genesis 3:15 (c.f. Gen. 1:3). He completed the work on the cross (Jn. 17:4; 19:30; c.f. Gen. 1:5). The work was met with God’s satisfaction by the resurrection and ascension of Christ (Rom. 1:3-4; Gen. 1:4) leading again to divine rest (Heb. 10:11-12; c.f. Gen. 2:1-3).
The Sabbath was a sign that pointed to something greater.
Like much of the Old Testament, the Sabbath pointed to Jesus Christ. The Old Testament Sabbath preached the gospel when it called for faith and a cessation of work (Rom. 4:4-5). We dishonor our Savior when the signs still receive the preeminence that He alone deserves. Now that Jesus is here, the signs have become obsolete (Heb. 8:13). The Apostle Paul said, "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). Jesus is the new Joshua that leads God’s children to a greater Promised Land of rest (Mt. 1:21). Jesus is the new Sabbatical Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) that provides a greater cancellation of debts (Lk. 4:18-19).
Jesus Christ has now become the Sabbath rest for Christians under the New Covenant.
God has completed His work of the new creation. Christians are the first fruits of that creation (2 Cor.. 5:17; Gal. 6:15). Our rest, as it was enjoyed by Adam everyday, has again been restored. During this life we still deal with some remnants of the curse, but we recognize our rest in Christ (from meritorious works) through faith and daily worship (Col. 3:17). Due to His redemptive work, He has become our Sabbath rest. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Mt. 11:28-30; c.f. Heb. 4:1-11).
The Christian’s ultimate Sabbath rest will be enjoyed in heaven
(Rev. 14:13; c.f. 14:11). Though we currently rest in Jesus Christ under the New Covenant, our supreme Sabbatical rest will be realized in heaven where we will enjoy the ultimate rest in the culmination of God’s new creation (Rev. 21:4; 22:1-2) away from the curse in the direct presence of the Lamb (Rev. 22:3).

James 2:
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, *though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?*
17 *Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.*
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, *that faith without works is dead?*
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and *by works was faith made perfect?*
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that *by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.*
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot *justified by works,* when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, *so faith without works is dead also.*
And concerning the Shabbat therefore: if the Gentiles who have become part of the Olive tree( being called Yisrael, CHOSEN by *God YeHoVaH* ), aren0t they supposed to keep the Law? ABSOLUTELY. Can they fulfill the Law? ABSOLUTELY. The WHOLE law(Torah)? *NO* . Why? Because there are SOME commandments that are abolished, therefore, even Yisrael themselves now(in the flesh Yisrael) are UNABLE to keep the whole Torah but this part of Torah that is NO ABOLISHED, are they able to keep it? *YES* . Are Gentiles able to keep this UNABOLISHED part? *YES* .
Therefore, Circumcised Gentiles and Circumcised Yisrael are *ONE* and have the SAME COMMANDMENTS.

24 Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”-to whom we gave no such commandment- 25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
Farewell.
*BOOM* Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar. ~ *I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. (Gal2)*
Yeshua burdens are not heavy. Keeping Torah is complete JOY!
The Mosaic covenant was NOT a smorgasbord. Unless you observe the ENTIRE thing without fail, you've broken it ALL! "For as many as are of the works of the law aARE UNDER THE CURSE: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not IN ALL THINGS which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that NO MAN is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident:" (Gal. 3:10-11) But what if you really wanted, with all of your heart and mind-just for the sake of argument-to keep the Law (be “Torah observant”)? Well, it is simply impossible. There is no priesthood, no temple, and no sacrificial system-all of which comprise the heart and essence of the Law (the commandments are all associated with it). So, there really is no such thing as “Torah observant”, as most of the 613 commandments are impossible to keep even if we wanted to try. Those that are left, are usually being cherry picked from, ignoring most of them and ending up with only a few.
If somebody is telling you he is Torah observant, try to randomly pick a few commandments and see if he really observes them or not, for example, you may ask them:
- Do you keep your diet 100% animal fat free, as in accordance with Leviticus 3:17 ?
- Do you stone your children if they curse you, as in accordance with Leviticus 20:9 ?
- Do you never shave your facial hair, as in accordance with Leviticus 19:27 ?
- Do you support the killing of gays and lesbians, as in accordance with Leviticus 20:13 ?
- During the Shabbat, do you not drive or BBQ? (and if you lived before the nineteenth century, will you not turn on lights nor start the heating in the winter if you are cold?), as in accordance with Exodus 35:3 ?
- Do you always wear only one kind of fabric on your body so not to mix between linen and wool, as in accordance with Deuteronomy 22:11 ?
- Do you never buy fruit in the supermarket as their producers do not wait until the 5th year to start selling them? (not to mention the fact that the majority of today’s supermarket food products includes corn or soy), as in accordance with Leviticus 19:23-25?
These are only 7 examples of the hundreds of Sinai commandmends, and remember, if in Yeshua we are still under the authority of the Sinai covenant, we can’t just keep some commandments, we must keep them all: “For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.” (James 2:10)
If you really believe the New Covenant is just a rehash or renewing of the Old Covenant, then you've missed a very important revelation God gave Jeremiah concerning the New Covenant- "
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
IT WILL NOT BE LIKE THE COVENANT I MADE WITH THEIR ANCESTORS..." Two radically different covenants, one that "KILLS" (Sinai) and one that "GIVES LIFE!" ("The Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua")
Good youtube video: "Law and Grace Made Simple", its only a few mins long :)
---->"He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination."
Truth will set us free!
Hebrews 7:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law
great video! Grace is not a new concept it was around since Abraham..Yeshua, Jesus kept His Fathers commandments and His feast days and dietary laws if we claim to follow Yeshua, Jesus we need to walk as He walked 1 John 2:6 ..The Father put two paths in front of us,Deuteronomy 30:15, before I knew Yeshua and understood that I was condemned to eternal seperation from the Father because I had broke His law Romans 7:7, I was walking on the path of curses and death now Yeshua took my punishment and paid the wages of sin which = death now I must walk on the other path which is walking in blessings and having life! This is the Fathers way we must repent and turn from our sin and walk in His ways! Not the ways of the world..Shalom!
+Elizabeth Pickard now just leave idolatry of a man god jesus
you cant have both
nor do you need a jesus to follow.....
Yeshua has a total different meaning the Jesus. Look what Jesus means in Greek! I believe it will shock you, I know it did me! Yeshua means Salvation, the Only name that does!!
Yeah. Ignore the book of Galatians.
Yes ignore false Saul I agree
Yes! I love this! This is the truth.
Do you not understand, sin means not keeping Torah? Your reply makes no sense.
THE TORAH WAS WRITTEN AS INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OF US , AS A GUIDE TO FOLLOW !! THE COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO ALL OF US , AS THE LAW OF GOD ,IN ORDER FOR US NOT TO straight AWAY FROM GOD INSTRUCTIONS.!!!. JEWS OR CHRISTIAN MUST FOLLOW .!!. DON'T BE DISOBEDIENT. SEE HEBREWS CHAPTER 3 AND 4 . AND FOLLOW GOD S SABBATH NOT MAN !!!
+larry ship (babydollpinkkoolaid) Well science said don't eat saturated fats or eggs cause they are bad for you and dang it science is WRONG?
I am a gentile, Acts 15 places no other burden. The old covenants are done, over, Israel was removed from the earth in 70ad. Read Galatians 5: one word sums up all the law. The temple was destroyed, The ark had been gone along with God many years before. the priesthood reduced to all are a priest with one high priest. You lose grace when you teach old covenant rules, rituals, etc for salvation. You teach that Jesus is not enough if you teach torah. IMHO.
I would also mention the full chapter of Galatians 2. As a great reference. Finally, this is a great conclusion to my observation. Acts 21:17-26 If I'm in error, I encourage you correct me as a brother in the faith. However, please ensure that you provide the scriptures as well. Thank you and Shalom!
Thank you both for this understanding, and helping us all to understand better what we should be doing, and how to look at these things as blessings. May our Heavenly Father continue to bless you both endlessly, through His Son Yeshua!
If it's true that we are to keep the Torah, then what about commandment 162 that we are not to marry non-jews? This doesn't make sense to me. Can someone who has true knowledge of the Torah please explain this to me?
Please consider that Christ lived under the law and therefore was subject to the law. Upon His death on the cross, He took the sin of the world upon himself, thus fulfilling the penalty of sin on our behalf. In doing so, He conquered death, and nailed the written requirements (the law) to the cross.

Well there you have it… 37 scriptures that make a very convincing arguement.
But…
I can hear your but forming in your mind already…
But what about what Jesus said about the law not passing away?
But what about all the law Jesus reinforced?
But what about the scriptures like 1 Cor 3:11 and Heb 8:13 that make it sound like it’s still kind of relevant?
But what about the fact God gave the law to the people of Israel?
Hi Paul. I’m curious to know if you have any recommended reading regarding first or second century Christianity/believers and their practices - as I know Constantine changed much and “un-judiaized” what was happening prior to him.
What proves one's faith in Messiah? Faith is dead without works, if we fail to obey the Fathers teachings (which Yahushua taught) then we lie when we say we are in Him and we love Him. Yahushua plainly states that those who say they love Him yet do not do the commands of the Father are liars and there is no truth in them. This is SCRIPTURE, it is clearly understandable and written down for anyone to read. If you accepted the new man then you would be obeying His Torah!
You took that last bit out of the proper context. Yahushua was speaking only about the putting away of a woman (divorce). He was not saying that the Torah was given because of the hardness of their hearts, only the writ of divorce. And that is what I mean by twisting scripture and taking a single text out of context and applying it to everything instead of what it was meant to clarify, which was the immediate context of the discussion.
What do the rest say in that chapter? Does it call the law "sound doctrine" and anything that isn't of it is contrary to "sound doctrine"?
The fulfillment of the law in Christ ENDS the law. "For Christ is the END OF THE LAW for righteousness to every one that believes." - Romans 10:4 Guess what? I believe, so that ENDS the Law for me. Free from the law in Christ!
We are free/saved from the condemnation of the law by the completed work of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we must know/abide by the law in order to know what is right/wrong.
This made so much sense! I had never thought about it this way. Now I understand the difference between the Pharisees and the fact that Jesus seemed to "up" the law to an even more intense degree...we are to fulfill both the letter and the spirit. Thank you!
Remember that Jesus taught us that love fulfills the whole law, and if we are to live under the law why aren't we performing animal sacrifice for the covering of sin like the law said? If you are a doer of the law be a doer of the WHOLE law, but in Jesus I am free, not bound.
Paul CONDONED animal sacrifices! (Ac. 21)
Paul did this to prove he obeyed Torah (Ac.21). YOU should likewise imitate Paul (1Cor.11:1;Php.4:9) and condoned sacrifices (when possible to do them properly, as Paul condoned).
Likewise, THOUSANDS of Christians were zealous for ALL Torah (including sacrifices, Ac. 21).
In fact, some Christians were animal-sacrificing priests! (Ac.6:7).
Jesus requires sacrifices (applying Is.56:7 to people from all nations) in Mk.11:17.
Again, Jesus requires ALL Torah (Mt.5:19) for all disciples of all nations (Mt.28:19-20).
Love FULFILLS (not replaces!) the law. That's why Jesus applies Dt. 6 to you (Mt.22:37); and Dt. 6:25 requires ALL Torah.
"why aren't we performing animal sacrifice for the covering of sin like the law said?"
Because we are still in the diaspora. Moses said we can't again obey 100% of Torah until AFTER we return to inherit the land promised to us (Dt.30:1-8).
"If you are a doer of the law be a doer of the WHOLE law"
Wrong...Moses said you can't obey 100% again until AFTER you return to inherit the promised land (Dt.30:1-8).
" in Jesus I am free, not bound."
Free to sin? Nope! (Rom.6:15;1Cor.15:34). Free to OBEY EVEN THE LEAST (Mt.5:19) of Torah commands...and then LIVE by the obedience! (Mt.4:4).
Paul agrees, applying Dt. 30 to YOU (Rom.10:8).
Again, Paul applies ALL Torah to you (2Ti.3:16;1Cor.7:19).
John agrees (1Jn.5:3).
