I was a born and bred Seventh Day Adventist and I studied my way to grace and salvation in Christ ALONE. I’m in Complete total agreement. What a mind set it is to have the mind of Jesus. The open objective mind to reason logically and spiritually and understand all these things. Proper right Interpretation is everything. HALLELUJAH for this marvelous future and freedom in Christ. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The Law that deals with Sin and Death is what JESUS has come to fulfill, The Temple has many Laws embedded on it! And JESUS pointed to HIS Disciples HE is The Temple, all its function is pointing to HIM! So we must not package, the whole Law( Torah) to The Temple law! Yes it was Fulfilled everything in CHRIST( All The Temple function),understanding Romans 7 , within the context and 8:1-4 ( will help) but, some laws, has to do with our neighbours, moral law has to continue in these sense! As long as we have the right perspective on it! which Apostle says in one of his Epistles ( GOD inspired Word)! After all when The King has rule in HIS KINGDOM with Justice and Righteousness, not in some kind of a Theological Anarchy, ( just a little thoughts, that may help us to grow and mature in our Spiritual life, our life still needed this life giving wisdom( 2 Timothy 3:16) So which Law are we operating? THE LAW OF SPIRIT which produces this LIFE in union with MESSIAH YESHUA, has set me free free from The Law of Sin and death! Shalom❤
Thank you Lord for directing my path to this channel. I truly want to live in a godly way. You truly helped me understand. May God continue to bless you. Amen 🙏🏽
saints keep Torah. MAT 5:17 is the direct rebuke from Yahushua to the MAN of perdition who would think to change times (moedim - feast days calendar ) and laws (TORAH) prophesied by Daniel. Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. THIS MAN IS THE 'WHOSOEVER" and all who follow him that RELAXES TORAH. This is the MAN that Solberg bows to in Rome, the Pope who controls the World Council of "Churches" the Nicene Creed Syndicate : Catholic Church. Solberg has a surprise if he is still alive in the fulfillment of prophet Zekeryahu which will bring famine and no rain on those who have survived of the families who have come against Israel ( ie hate Yahuah's Torah and those who are of the Commmon Wealth of spiritual Israel by the renewed covenant in keeping Torah). Solberg will be forced to go up to Jerusalem to keep the FEAST of Sukkot (Tabernacles) not SUNday or Christ Mass or Easter ( Ishtar) in Rome. If he dies before then he will not be seeing eternal life but fearful judgement and destruction of body and soul.
@@iyaskelu7173 Solberg will no tbe there to hold your hand when Yahuah asks you why you did not heed the words of Yahushua concerning his Torah. Moses also told you to listen to all that Yahushua would say when he comes. Yahushua is not a liar and he is not a Jesuit or a Catholic.

Deu 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other mighty ones (pw gods eg J-Zeus, G-O-D, LORD , Charis , Fides...) , even that prophet shall die

@@Mr2TIMOTHY4V2Hebrews 8:6-9 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I DISREGARDED them, says the LORD.
Amen Rob! I have been trying to Tell some of my HR family members these things for years! Thank you for simplifying it! Hopefully they will watch your videos and Just believe and follow Jesus! I can only pray that one day that will happen.👍🙏🙏🙏😌
Fascinating. I found Mr. Solberg from watching a debate between Mr. Solberg and Rabbi Tovias Singer. Filmed in Nashville. Worth a watch. Decide for yourself. Dig into scripture. Awesome!
So appreciate your depth, balance, and fidelity to God's Word. We have many people in our city who are caught up in the snare of Torahism. Your teaching ministry is so helpful to pastors like me who want to patiently help them, and equip God's people to rightly divide Scripture. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much, Jeff! That means more than you know. The whole point of our ministry is to help the body of Christ navigate these mysterious and dangerous waters in a way that honors Christ. Praise God that our work is helpful to pastors like you. Blessings, Rob
@@StevenRotelli Indeed it does, amen. The Matthew passage says 'until *all* is accomplished'. It amazes and boggles my mind that anyone can read the law and the prophets and think that *all* has been accomplished (fulfilled). Much of what is written is not accomplished until the second coming and the millennial reign. The levitical system will even be reinstated (this will not even be the first time the levitical priesthood/temple has been destroyed and then later revived). Death is not destroyed until after Christ's millennial reign. The sacrifices (involving death) won't stop until _after_ death is destroyed. They are a 'picture' of Christ. Those living in the new age (millennium) will _need_ that picture. This teaching that *all* has been 'accomplished' is not even biblical.
Thank you sir! I have a “Torah/ Hebrew observant” neighbor who has “attempted” to beat me up for years! (He means well, but is extremely dogmatic.) Your teachings are so clear, and it’s interpretations so obvious, I shared your video’s with him and hopefully he will cease condemning folks who don’t observe the sabbath the way he does!Thanks again! You truly epitomize the idea that it isn’t enough to have knowledge, but there has to be a brilliance and excellence in conveying said knowledge! All glory to God!
@@qw2ps4 Acts 5, verse 20 - 21 20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. 21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought -------------------------------- The apostles preached Christ to everyone. As Jews they taught Christ to Jews. But it's evident they also taught Gentiles about Christ. They had an ability to do that in the temple so that's what they did. You think they went in there to teach Moses laws? 🤔
Are you comparing yourself with your neighbour or with what Yahuah commands? He tells you to rest from all your work on the seventh day. He says it is not hard (Deu 30:11) and to be called a delight. (Isa 58:13) Do you have a problem with that? He says his law is not burdensome and it is the love of Yahuah that we keep his commandments. (1 Jn 5:3) Neither Solberg nor your neighbour will be able to account for your actions. On the day of judgement you shall have to give your own account as to why you loved the ways of the world more than Yahuah.
@thomasprice1320 Jesus was a jew speaking to other Jews. Christians aren't against the law, but once the new covenant was in action the law takes on a new significance. In the passage you quote, Christ hadn't yet been crucified and resurrected and his first commission was to the Jews only. The great commission is to all people and Gentiles aren't under the entire mosaic covenant. They're under the new covenant, which has Christ, not Moses's laws as the center of it.
man i wrestled with this for a long time, I even asked michael heiser and he sdaly passed before an answer came. Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you brother. You explain things so well in scripture. Also, the respect you show to those who disagree doesn’t go unnoticed. I’m getting the Torahism book to further my understanding of obedience.
Rob, again thank you. You explain things so well. Your gift from the Lord to do this for the glory of Yahweh through Yeshua is truly via divine direction. The scriptures are not confusing when they are paralleled and explained so consistently. You are a humble and appreciated Brother in Christ good sir. Thank you.
Please do an episode on dispensationalism. I was going down the path of torahism but freed after watching your videos. Had a lot of guilt not keeping these Torah things thinking I was lazy and feeling beyond guilty. Thanks for your love on the teachings of the Bible. God is good!
Keep asking your guru to tickle your ears. Soothsayers and false prophets have been around since the beginning of time. One can always pay for them but you cannot buy your salvation.
@@prayunceasingly2029 Two idols that Christianity worships are Charis (Grace) and Fides (Faith). That is why they cannot accept the words of Yahushua concerning keeping the Torah in Mat 5:17-20. They MUST INVENT A TORAHLESS J-Zeus god who abolishes Torah. Anything that is lawlessly elevated above the Torah so that it nullifies it is an idol.

There is no OSAS heresy in the scriptures and no such thing as unlimited "grace".
I would like to add something that I feel is God's great exclamation point. When the temple curtain was torn by God at the death of Christ. God himself ended the ability for anyone to accomplish the law. So I ask, doesn't it seem that this was God's stamp of approval on Christs accomplishing all things and the end of the mosaic law?
In the new covenant, God put His laws in our heart and put His Spirit inside of us and said He would cause us to walk out His commandments. The levitical system and the temple have been destroyed before...and then restored. That sacrificial system/temple never saved, either the first or second time. It is prophesied to be restored in the millennial kingdom on earth (a third time). It won't save then either _but it will continue to point us to Christ._ That is it's purpose. Jesus really meant it when he said heaven and earth will pass away before one jot or tiddle will pass from the law or the prophets.

Excellent video. Thank you. I never really considered all the verses which speak about things being fulfilled within the same book. You made excellent points. They will have to, at least, reconsider this particular text.
This has to be said! When someone starts questioning the Bible and starts looking for evidence, that in itself opens a door or gateway for unseen forces to enter in your spirit. In a real bad way. It’s ok to research things but if it ties into groups denying Yeshua/Jesus you will feel a dark shadow come over you. There is something sinister at play here guys. I have not once seen or felt the love of God coming forth from the Sacred Names/Torah followers! They don’t like the term God or Lord used in the Bible. I explained that The Lord God almighty is a powerful term to explain God or give a description. Nope! That’s a title not his name they say. Seems to me that their spirit does not want to glorify God that way. What is more powerful than saying the Lord God Almighty. To me there’s no other that have that title in all of creation. Is there a demon seed involved in those groups? I think so. Maybe not at the start but later it comes into fruition
And this is LOVE, that we keep his commandments...ONE OF THEM.....uses the NAME IN VAIN, well you not commandment believing SO YEAH, WE understand YOUR FOOLISH reasoning. With the wicked IT IS SUCH!
Good stuff that is awesome how you put it! When I originally read the text it gave me a similar sense that the scripture is glorifying christ by saying that He fulfilled all of the law but I didn't catch the part about the prophets too until now. It's a really powerful statement that Jesus accomplished all of that. Thanks!
This was so easy to understand I loved it....Blessings to you brother.I have your book and have subscribed found you on “Good Fight Ministries”keep up this great work so refreshing 🙏😊
" It is finished!" " At that moment the curtain of the temple( covering the entrance to the holy of holies, where the High Priest made the yearly sacrifice for the peoples sins)-" wat torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split, and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life" Jesus had finished the eternal sacrifice for all sins, and fullfilled all the law and the prophets, and the curtain of the holy of holies of the temple was ripped apart to reveal that the law and the prophets, had been fullfilled,
So you think Jesus has returned a second time, Jesus is reigning on the earth, the Dead Sea is full of fish, there are no wild animals, etc.? All things _are not yet fulfilled_ but they will be during Jesus second coming and millennial reign on this earth.
Literally taking scripture out of context and calling Jesus a liar at the same time. He said he didn't come to do away with..yet you make him out to be lying and saying he did away with it.. how do you people not get this.
Hi, Mr. Steve! Actually, John tells us that "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is _lawlessness"_ (ἀνομία); meaning rebellion, disobedience, living as a law unto ourselves rather than submitting to God (see Deut 9:7, 24; 31:27). The sin we repent of today is rebellion against God and “missing the mark” when it comes to living out His will for our lives in love, service, and purity. For those under the law of Moses, breaking that law was sinful, of course. But sin is much bigger than that! In fact, “sin was in the world _before_ the law was given” (Rom. 5:13, see Gen 4:7; 13:13; 18:20; 39:9). So if we merely define sin as a transgression of the Law of Moses, then Adam and Eve never sinned, because they did not break any of the Mosaic commands. Blessings, Rob
They're not mosaic commands rob They're commands of YHVH who later sent Moses. Beyond the sacrifices which are penance and penalties of law more than law which commandments did Jesus want to fulfill? (remove) Have no other gods before me? Idols? Adultery, theft. I actually came here for understanding , but I really don't understand your goal. There's about a 2 percent chance I have Hebrew roots from an ancestor, tops! Not about Jewish roots for me. But defending the ordinances of god. And doing my best to follow them as Christ did. So if I struggle with it sometimes, at least I do struggle, if I eat clean foods I don't do it for salvation, but as a reminder that he, and not me is king, nor do I impose that on others who are not called to do so. It's not even something I make a point of discussing with people unless it comes up. If a person eats unclean food, the prescribed punishment is: nothing. The Mosaic Law does not give a punishment for breaking kosher laws (Leviticus 11). Typically, a person would become ceremonially unclean because of touching a dead person or a non-kosher animal, or from having a discharge of some kind. if I hang tzitzit from the mirror of my truck it's the same. A reminder that Jesus purchased me and I belong to him, and he makes the rules. TORAH. From equidistant letter spacing from the first yod the book of Leviticus in the original text spells over and over YHVH, he actually signed it. I'm a believer in Christ, his righteousness is the only such that is in me. I came here looking for an easier way maybe. But Christ doesn't teach at all that his way is easy, for me I have decided my walk is appropriate as is . And while I came to you for answers I would much rather now appeal to you for your knowledge and the sake of the flock to examine your doctrine since all is at stake for so many beloved who would be sons of god, Blessings in Christ.
1 John 5:17a “All unrighteousness is sin” Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Sin-past, present and future was dealt with at the cross. One sacrifice for all time. 1 John 1:7-10 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
False! Not all is accomplished yet. Petra is not the WORD of Elohim. The Torah REMAINS so that the wicked (those who come against it Zech 14 etc) can be judged by it. "Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to Elohim (pw God) the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “Elohim has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he [Yahushua (pw Jesus] is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that Elohim may be all in all."(1Co 15:24-28) This verse also CONFIRMS THE SOVEREIGNTY of YAHUAH for there is only one YAHUAH (not three) and only ONE Son by whom we are saved YAHUSHUA which means YAHUAH (his Father) has Saved who is ANOINTED BY YAHUAH's Spirit
After verse 20 he helps us to see what law he is talking about, which hasn't changed. He is speaking about the ten commandments, don't murder, don't commit adultery, etc. And he shows that this moral law goes deeper than the letter. For example showing that even lusting after a woman is adultery. This moral law is just as it was written in stone and just as it has been written in the hearts of many believers since the time of Adam and Eve (see Heb 11 for the faithful that had the law written in their hearts). As a bonus, in Matthew 5, Jesus even mentions an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, teaching contrary to that, showing it isn't the civil law he is referring to.
Hello and blessings. I am a believer in the whole word. I guess you would call me a Torah keeper. So I disagree with your assessment on the righteousness of the pharisees. Jesus isn’t coming up with a new righteousness. It’s the same righteousness that has always been (Psalm 119:42 your righteousness is for ever, your law is truth.) Jesus exposes the pharisees for who they are in Matt 23:2-3 “The pharisees sit on moses’ seat, so DO and OBSERVE whatever they tell you but not the works they do. For they PREACH but do not PRACTICE. They did not keep the law.” If I look at Matt 5:17-19 I see what I am supposed to do. I am supposed to DO and TEACH even the least of the commandments, as opposed to the pharisees that did not do even though they taught the law. If you go down the line on Matt 23 you’ll see much of the same judgments that are found in Matt 5-7 and Jesus tells them they are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. They had their own thoughts on what people should do and they added to the law many things burdening the people with their teachings apart from sitting in moses seat. For example, all the commands they want to condemn people for doing on the sabbath when Gods word doesn’t say those things are forbidden. Also, there are many prophecies that have not been accomplished because we await Jesus’ return. There are a great many prophecies about the last day. I’ve been told by many that what needed to be accomplished was his death and resurrection I believe it’s his return which when it happens heaven and earth will actually pass away, (Rev 21:1). And in rev 21:6 He says “it is done!” The word for done here is ginomai which is the same word used in matt 5:18 for accomplish. The word used for when Jesus says it is finished is In John 19:30 which is teleo. Because of this I think that it is actually when heaven and earth pass away that an iota and jot can pass from the law. I just want to obey Jesus when he tells me that I should “not think” that he had come to abolish the law. So If I love like he abolished any law then I must be thinking it and that he told me not to do. My interpretation of abolish is to relax the commandments. And my definition of fulfill is to DO and Teach. This is what he is contrasting and telling us about in Matt 5:19. I like your videos although I don’t agree with the conclusions. I think you have a nice way of talking to people like me with out condemning. (Any capitalization of words is not out of anger but for emphasis. I hope you understand.) Thanks!
So with that being said I just want to add that I don’t feel obigated do any of this nor do I think God forces anyone to do it. It is my expression of love to God. He tells me if I love him I would keep his commandments. I do this because I do love him and I am doing it because I am grateful for my salvation not to earn salvation. I John 2:3 and by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. The law doesn’t annul the promise and if not then I will continue to love him in this way. Thanks again.
Fair enough, davelyn! My position is that, for Christians, those Mosaic traditions are permitted but not required. So if you are keeping them not out of a sense of obligation, but rather as a personal expression of your love for God, then God bless you! Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots you say permitted but not required... What would you say to Christians who use James 2:10 to say that those who try and keep the law for any reason are not saved?
Thanks for the video! I explain it this way: the sole purpose of commandments such as circumcision or not eating pork was to separate Israel as a special people from which the Savior of the world will come. And since the purpose is fulfilled the means are no longer necessary. Basically the laws are still there in our Bibles with no iota or dot changed. It's just there's no one to fulfill them.
1: Jews at that time would not have believed that the messiah would come to abolish the law. This indicates that these are words put into Jesus mouth much later when this became an issue amongst gentile Christians, most likely a response to Paul’s teachings. 2: most Messianic prophecies are not fulfilled yet, therefore it doesn’t matter if heaven or earth pass away or everything is fulfilled, in any case no iota nor tittle shall be removed. 3: The Hebrew Scriptures are clear that the Torah is eternal and will be written into the hearts of all returning Jews to Israel so they keep its statutes and laws.
What law did Abraham, Isaac & Jacob follow? They were under grace - I have yet to meet someone who can keep the Law, so you claim that you can? If so, you think that you do not need Jesus Christ and are justified under the Law. You have to ask yourself what Law was Christ talking about! The Ten Commandments were given for the hardness of the hearts of the Children of Israel. Christ said the Law & the Prophets were fulfilled in Two Commandments.
I have HR friends who try to be Jewish. As you say, they have an "identity crises". You got me to thinking and I realize their identity crises is really envy of the Jewish race and their traditions. Which of course breaks the command to not envy our neighbors.
Did you know at the feast of Passover he told them it was time all to be accomplished? He said he couldn't go up just yet because his time hadn't come just yet. He would go later.
He also said he would return to drink of the fruit of the vine - ie when the marriage covenant is consummated (marriage supper) ie not yet accomplished. Torah remains.
Wow, old video. I saw this searching Matthew 5,18. So, i thought I would take a look. This is the link i clicked on from the other video. Also, with the conflict in the middle east, i like staying refreshed on this topic. It very relevant with what is happening in conjuction with Isreal. While at 19:02 i paused and thought. When Jesus was here at that time. What comes to mind is, he did not teach 2 different things, believe in him and practice law for salvation. He taught 1 thing really and that was to believe in him, and just like the teaching in this video, he was fulfilling what was fortold. Which, this is very in depth and dissecting these scriptures. My thinking was, no matter how many temples they build in Jerusalem and the red heifer and all that, it means nothing to God, and Jesus said He is the only way to God and any other way wer theives ect. So essentially, when we come into contact with a jew, we dont say... okay, good that you dont believe Christ, i hope your living good by the law/torah, have a nice day. No, were to earnestly try and convert them.
The law is a goal. The heart of the matter is the weighter, right? Those who have a heart after God will fit the dress code to the after-party, the law will be written on their hearts, it's just things we'll do. "Love is fulfillment of the law" John.
The passage is actually simpler than most make it out to be. "Ginomai" does not mean fullfilled NOR accomplished. It's poorly translated most of the time. Ginomai means "a total change in the condition". Therefore, Mathew 5:18 is better translated and understood as: "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 changes to THAT condition". Until everything changes to THAT condition. Which condition? Well, the aforementioned condition,...namely, the passing of heaven and earth. Jesus is saying, pretty clearly I might add when people bother to translate passages accurately, that until the condition changes to the passing of the heaven and earth, He will change nothing from the Law or Prophets. If you can read this, then rest assured, the Law and the Prophets still exist for believers in Christ.
DID YOU KNOW JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES? Reading is in Matthew 23 Jesus in the previous chapter was confronted by the Pharisees and their disciples who wanted to trap him by what he said. Sadducees also joined in with their question, but Jesus silenced them all. Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, “When the scribes and the Pharisees are seated in the seat of Moses. Therefore DO whatever they tell you, and OBSERVE and DO. But do not after their works, because they don’t practice what they teach.”” Matthew 23:1-3 What is Jesus saying & what is the "seat of Moses"? When the Scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses they are reading from the Torah, the law of Moses. Jesus is saying to obey what they are reading. Jesus then gives a warning. "But do not after their works, because they don’t practice what they teach." Through out the rest of chapter 23 Jesus highlights their hypocrisies and their duplicity as he scolds them for not doing what they preach. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:18 that the law of Moses and the prophets will not pass away until heaven and earth pass away. Heaven and Earth don't pass away until after Jesus 1000 reign on earth. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; ...." Revelation 21:1 KJV Jesus/Yeshua said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matthew 5:17 KJV
Wait, why is it when the verse adds “the prophets” does it give less value to the law? Doesn’t it just mean both? As in the whole Tanakh? The Torah is the first 5 books of the Tanakh so wouldn’t that mean the mosaic law is included in what is not changing? Also why would Jesus add “until the Heaven and Earth pass away” if he didn’t mean it literally when he means everything else in this specific passage literally? I feel like the existence of Revelation proves that the earth and Heaven will pass away meaning all has not been fulfilled. Help me understand please, I hope you see this and give me a little more insight, I loved the video and agreed with most of it, just these two issues kind of felt looked over.
Christ came to fulfill. Fulfill = Pleroo (Stong’s #4137) other meanings: to complete, to finish, to fully preach. Romans 15:19 by power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have (Pleroo Strong’s #4137) fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. (“Fully preached” in KJV). Abolish according to Marian-Webster Dictionary: to end the observance or effect of (something, such as a law): to completely do away with (something). Given these 2 definitions of Fulfill and Abolish and the fact that heaven and earth haven’t passed away, I’m not sure I understand his interpretation as it’s explained.
His use of Heaven and Earth is a metaphor here, used to describe the relationship between God and his people. God = Heaven = As above People = Earth = So below It’s the old relationship between God and his people that passes away and a new relationship begins at his resurrection. His death and resurrection is what needed to be accomplished so that all would be fulfilled. How do we know that we are in a new Heaven and Earth (new relationship)? “I have been given👉 ALL 👈authority 👉in Heaven and on earth”👈 Matthew 28:18 Now, let’s go all the way on this one. How do we know we are not under the law of Moses? “Teaching them to observe ALL that👉 [ I ] have commanded you”👈 Matthew 28:20 This verse should really end the debate and have Torah keepers and grace alone adherits rethinking their theology. Clearly here Yeshua calls for following HIS commands, not Moses and not lawlessness. Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 is a preface to Yeshua giving most of his commandments in Matthew 5:21 through Matthew 7. When Yeshua says: “and whoever so shall break the least of one of 👉THESE 👈commandments” The commandments he is talking about are the ones he is ABOUT to give, starting at Matthew 5:21 which is the very next verse. Yeshua was given ALL authority in the relationship between God and his people, Heaven and Earth has passed away, we are in a New Heaven and Earth (relationship) under the authority of Yeshua, and should be observing his commands as he laid out in Matthew.
According to the Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the meaning of "fulfill" that Yahshua specified, in its grammatical construct, means: "γ. universally and absolutely, to fulfil, i. e. "to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment": Matthew 5:17" See that? Yahshua showed how His Law is to be lived, and how to obey them. That does not bode well for the continuance of the Law of Moses since Yahshua clearly stated much higher standards when what is outlined in the Law of Moses and the prophets. Destroy? No. Establish a new and better covenant...yes.
Very fascinating video and informative. In that passage of scripture it is said that Jesus was using an Jewish idiom. For the example the word Abolished and Fulfill has a different meaning. The word "abolish" means not interpreting correctly and the word "Fulfill " means proper interpretation. Also heaven and earth is not talking about a literal Heaven and Earth. It this context Heaven is the temple and earth is Jerusalem/Israel. When Jesus died on the cross He said it was finished. Then the veil in the Holy of Holies inside the temple was ripped in half from top to bottom. Then in 70 AD the Roman army came and destroyed the temple and much of Jerusalem, thus Heaven and Earth passed away.
The veil that was torn was actually the *outer curtain*, with the images of heavenly bodies that was visible by non-priestly onlookers. Thus forming an "inclusio" in Mark's Gospel where the actual heavens are ripped open at Yeshua's baptism. The heaven and earth in Matthew 5 is *not* the Temple but the heavens and earth that Moses calls as witnesses in Deuteronomy 30:19.
@@dandeliontea7 The verse you shared in Deuteronomy is so important I am posting it within it's context here. Amen. Deuteronomy 30:15-20 "See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity; *in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments,* that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. But if your heart turns away *and you will not obey,* but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. *I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,* that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, *by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him;* for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." As long as this heaven and earth are witnesses, nothing will pass.
Great video and fantastic job distilling down these ideas into such an informative teaching. You should check out the book “the Moses connection” for how the feasts of Israel related to Jesus life and miracles. Also someone who has really helped me is a guy named Don K Preston who is currently writing a book about how Jesus fulfilled all of the feasts of israel which is a great argument against HRM. God bless bro.
You are using too many words. The verses simply means every statement of the Law and prophets has to be fulfilled. The statements will not just disappear as you want us to believe.
Notice that Paul said who commits sin is a slave of sin, so... Sin is still active as well as righteousness, there for be slaves of righteousness unto sanctification. We are not under the law but under grace wich TEACHES us to deny ungodliness. He said with my MIND i serve the LAW of God. We dont have to go to temple now, cuz we are temple. John described the process how it is done. LOOK...If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.My dear children, I write this to you so that you will NOT SIN. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. ITS A PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION, S A L V A T I O N FROM SIN!
Good morning. So I have a question for you. I am speaking with one of my family members who is involved in HRM and he told me yesterday besides not believing in the Trinity, and Jesus not being equal with the father, he also does not believe that the New Testament is scripture. Can you help me with this please?

Hi, Leona. I'm so sorry to hear that. In my experience, when someone starts down the Hebrew Roots road and ends up rejecting Jesus and the New Testament, they are most likely converting to Judaism. It sounds like some teacher has been whispering lies in your family member's ear and they have believed them. Do you know where they are hearing these things? Without knowing the person or the situation, it's hard to offer advice. Other than loving them and praying for them! Blessings, Rob
Why do people struggle so hard to trust the scriptures at face value. All is accomplished clearly points to when "Death and Hell" are cast into the lake of fire, as there is no more sin. The wages of sin is death, and so of course once sin no longer exists there will be no more need for the law. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14 KJV Secondly, if we are going to acknowledge any of the law as important, then ALL of the law is important. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV The law is not hard to keep, please friends, look into it, God didnt give us 613 ways to be burdened, but 613 ways to love him and be blessed by Him. It's not about being perfect, you already hold this view about many of God's laws, all you now have to do is expand it to the entire law.
I am in total agreement that the scripture in the book of Matthew is making reference to the old Testament books and not the law of Moses. If that was the case Jesus would never have sat there and declare that the Law of Moses said but I say, so many times. Anyone who believe this passage was referring to the Mosaic Law is denying Jesus as the Christ because the Law clearly states that No one outside the tribe of Levi was to serve as priest. That was the Law. Yet Jesus, who is our High Priest today was from the tribe of Judah. In order for this to happen the law had to change. Hebrews 7:11-19; 23-28. The bible refers to the law of Moses as. "The old Law, had there not been a new law it would have remained just the law. According to scripture, the old law was removed because it had too many faults. God promises to rewrite his laws, not on tablets, like he gave to Moses, but on the heart of his people Hebrews 8:10-12; Jer 31:33-34.
Jesus is the Cornerstone of Heaven and Earth, when he said on the cross it is finished! This represents the passing away of Heaven and Earth symbolically in fleshly body. He has fulfilled the full requirement of the law , satisfying a debt we could not pay. That is why he is the Sabbath from the beginning and now he is the final spiritual sabbath without a heavy yoke. Amen
The mosaic law and the ten comandments are seperate. The ten were in the arc and the others were attached to the side. The mosaic law has been done away with but not the ten.The ten show up in Rev. 11:19.
For those that say Paul is a false apostle, how would we prove to them he was? I’ve had debates with someone I actually know that thinks he’s a test from God and is false. I’ve referenced that person to 2 Peter 3:15-16. Yet, they still disregard and refute it.
That’s a tough discussion, Benavi, because the foundational beliefs are so different. For those who want to reject Paul as a false apostle, also need to reject the books of the Bible that he wrote, which means we don’t even have agreement on what is Scripture. And for those who want to accept the parts of Scripture they like, and reject the parts, they don’t, it’s not the Bible they believe but themselves. Shalom, RLS
Paul is a true apostle. Peter confirms this as you shared. Also notice that Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna would have been the pastor at the time of the letter sent to the church of Smyrna in the Revelation. Smyrna received _no_ rebuke. Polycarp, their pastor, spoke about Paul as a dear brother in his own letter which you can look up. So Polycarp was not rebuked by Jesus for accepting Paul and his writings. I hope that helps?
@@TheBiblicalRoots The worst part about it. some of these people don't just reject it, some of the horrific things they say about Paul's writings (I won't even repeat) they are saying about words inspired by God, therefore they blaspheme the word of God in the most detestable way. They say Follow Jesus not Paul while using profanities.
(1) *_Law AND the Prophets,_* versus *_Law OR the Prophets._* With the _or_ conjunction He seems to distinguish between them, not collectively. I know that view may be word-smithing, but you keep saying "Law AND Prophets" when the text clearly says "Law OR Prophets" and then "Law" only in verse 18. (2) We also need to ask if the Commandments are actually an integral part of the Law, or do the Commandments precede the Law? And in fact, are the Commandments more fundamental to man's relationship with God than what the Law itself represents? Is the Law of Moses the "school teacher" for how the Jews were keep the Commandments, while the Law of Christ is the more perfect understanding of the Commandments? This may be why the "You have heard it said..." teachings that follow beginning in verse 21.
Is there another place in Greek or Hebrew literature from the era contemporary to Jesus and apostles that uses "Until heaven and earth pass away"? I suspect it's an idiomatic expression.
Thank you for the depth of your videos. I would like to know your position on calvinism and TULIP theology, in light of it’s historical origination? I am seeing more and more reformed theology online and it seems to have a cult like following similar to Torah observers.
Hey thank you you're a very good speaker,you were able to break that down and make it very easy to understand, I'm definitely subscribed I love you, God bless you
Thanks for sharing this commentary. How do you understand this in light of the fact that there are things in the Tanak that have not yet been accomplished? Eg. Prophecies in Daniel, Isaiah etc. Grace and Peace
I assume it's Christ's gospel that was the major accomplishment. It was fulfilled. Now everything that comes after the gospel has a different context than the old covenant. What God did in Christ through the gospel was world changing and opened up the way for all to be saved in Christ (not by law keeping as we see in Acts 15 and in the entire book of galatians and parts of romans as well). Edit - everything that's left to fulfill is fulfilled in the light of what Christ accomplished in his gospel. That's my understanding anyway
When Jesus declared “It is finished!”, he died for our sins and right then and there the Law expired! That’s the fulfillment he is speaking of in Matthew 5!
Does Matthew 5:17-20 teach the Law is still in effect for Christians? Answer: Yes! HalleluYah. That's what Yahusha said....simple. Satan: That's not what he said..
Are you saying that everything that was written of Jesus in the old testament has been fulfilled? If so what about the prophecies about the second coming and the details about him in eschatology which we know have not happened yet??
So how did Yeshua abolish the dietary laws before "all was fulfilled." He declares all foods clean in Mark 7 but this is before he dies on the cross. Why is he telling people they can break part of the Law of Moses before he fulfils it?
That is a fantastic question that I addressed in another video. But the cliff notes version is twofold: First, we risk error if we try to impose our modern sense of precision of time onto the ancient text of the Bible. The Gospel writers didn't walk around with sundials on their wrists and calendars in their pocket. :-) And second, the parenthetical comment in Mark 7:19 "(thus he declared all foods clean)" was actually a summary added by the author of the Gospel. These aren’t words uttered by Jesus at the time. It wasn't until after the resurrection that His followers began to understand what it all meant. And even then it took them a while! (Remember Peter's vision in Acts 10, and how Peter then later separated from the Gentiles and was rebuked for it (Gal 2)). So decades after the actual incident, as the Gospel writer was recounting the story, he added this statement to sum up for his readers what Jesus was getting at. “(Thus he declared all foods clean.)” Blessings, Rob
@Defending the Biblical Roots of Christianity I appreciate the response. Could you direct me to the video you're referencing? I am still struggling to understand how Yeshua could have removed a part of the law verbally to the people before he died, even if the people may not have understood it at the time. Did his words not take effect until he died? I feel like he would have said this, or maybe we are to assume as such, knowing what he said in Matthew 5:17-19.
Isn't the entire NT audience relative to the first century? Where does Paul or jesus ever mention the generations to come after (like us) it seems the gospel was not supposed to carry on.
Doesn't work for me, revelation says when heaven and earth pass away, Isaiah says the will be Sabbath's kept when the Messiah comes, the PROPHETS explain the end of the temporary sacrificial "added" law. I'll give you a 10 on your word gymnastics shalom
But day & night shall cease as God will be our light! In Hebrews 4:3-11 the rest is Heaven through Jesus Christ. God did not make a Covenant with a day, Christ gives us rest from our works of salvation! Everything must be in context… Christ said come unto me and I will give you rest.
11:48 i really need this presenter to read the law. We see in Acts that the disciplining Paul and having him make the Nazarite vow sacrifices to show the law was still in effect. There is no change in the law because the law dictates that you cant sacrifice anywhere but the temple and sacrifice stop if the temple is gone, and when the temple is gone israel is kept be grace during the curse judgment as spoken by the prophets.
Hello, DeVeau! Paul's keeping of the law in Acts 21, and the other Mosaic traditions kept by the apostles, don't show that the law is still in effect. Instead, they remind us that those things were never prohibited and are still permissible. But they are not required. And they certainly don't add a thing to the righteousness that is ours through faith in Jesus. Probably the most clear NT text showing that those things are "permitted but not required" is when the apostle Paul describes his relationship to the law: 19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. -1 Corinthians 9 Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Good morning, keeping the law would be one thing but they were worried about the spread of a teaching of not keeping the wrong. Which would go hand in hand with what Jesus to talk warned the disciples about; even teaching against the law would make you a slave/outcast in the kingdom of heaven. This is likely why Peter letters warned about the twisting of Paul's letters. Blessing DeVeau
" THIS VERSE IN MATHEW SUPPORTED THAT JESUS CHRIST IS EXACTLY THE LAW HIMSELF TO PUT IN MATHEMATICALLY JESUS CHRIST = THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HIMSELF. FAITH COUNTS. "
Why do you Ignore Christ's command in Matthew 23:1-3? Any one who relaxes the least of these commands will be least in the Kingdom? The great Commission calls us to do and to teach ALL that Christ Commands!
Which of Christ's commands do you think I am ignoring, Darcy? I teach and believe that obedience is God’s “love language.” Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I'm sure you would agree that not every command that God has given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or for certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I'm sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT teaches that the ceremonial Mosaic commands do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). Blessings, Rob
Before Jesus dies what did he say about the law? When did heaven and earth pass? Luke 16:17 New King James Version And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail. Years after Jesus has died, what was Paul doing? He was offering sacrifices and in the Temple although Jesus was supposedly the last sacrifice. Is the law of Moses being practiced by Paul years after Jesus has died or was this not a true statement? Acts 24:17-18 New King James Version “Now after many years I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation, 18 in the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, We know James had no teachings about the law of Moses going away and in front of many he made Paul and others pay for sacrifices and go to the Temple for purification after Jesus has died. James surely had nothing to say concerning an end of ceremonial laws. Acts 21:20-26 Paul had a chance to tell his vision and Revelations form Jesus to James but did not open his mouth about it. Galatians 1:11-12 That's three accounts form the NT that the law was in effect after the death of Jesus. Jews were subject to the 613 laws and Gentiles were subject to the seven laws of Noah alluded to in Acts 15:20 Genesis 9:1-6, Genesis 20:1-4, Genesis 35:2, Genesis 31:19 Righteousness and Eternal life comes from keeping the law. Deuteronomy 32:46-47, Deuteronomy 6:25, Luke 1:6, Luke 10:25-28, Acts 22:12, Romans 10:5, Philippians 3:5-6 Do not believe me, look up these verses yourselves.
If you understood the day of atonement, you would understand that the sacrifice was done before the high priest went into the holy place. When Jesus said it is finished, the sacrifice was finished. Jesus fulfilled all the requirements of the sacrifice. According to hebrews he is now serving as high priest. So not all is finished, otherwise we would already be in heaven. Also when Jesus says when heaven and earth pass away, it parallels when all is fulfilled. That means that will happen at the same time. Usually it’s the simple explanation that is true. Why take a straight forward statement of Jesus and come up with a convoluted explanation of why he didn’t mean what he said. If this is how scripture is to be used, then you can make the scripture say anything you want. Historically, the church has been known to do exactly that.
In Torah Law is the 10 commandments apart of the 613 commands? If so and I believe they are, how do you parcel out the 4th commandment from the 10 written on stone laws + the 603 additional commands in the Torah?
Deuteronomy 5:2-4 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. [3] The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. [4] The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, (Read further through the 10 commandments) Specific to Israel Deuteronomy 5:12,15 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. [15] And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Nehemiah 9:13-14 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: [14] And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: 2 Cor. 3 Heb. 12:18-29 Gal. 4:21-31
I follow the Torah to the best of my abilities. I don’t follow the Torah for salvation because the scripture never says that. I follow the Torah because they are His commandments and I love Him for what he did for us. I don’t want to write a book here, but look into the following statements and hope it helps: 1) Jesus says in John that he has 2 new commandments: Love your Lord God with all your might, strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Are they new? No. Please find in Duet. 6:4 and Lev. 19:18. (Torah). 2) Jesus says next that the Torah and the prophets hang from these 2 commandments. 3) Here is the tie in: Love your Lord God with all your heart,might,strength. 1-4 of the 10 commandments Love your neighbor as yourself. 5-10 of the 10 commandments The rest of the Torah (commandments) tell you how to do the Love God and Neighbor commandments. 4) When moses finally came down with the stone tablets, not just the 10 commandments were written down. The whole Law was also written on the front and back. Find in Exodus. That means the law was written on stone as well. 2Peter 3:15-19 says that if you read Paul’s writings without a foundation which I believe is the Torah and prophets, you will become lawless (Without Torah). That sure came true. Hope this helps. Peace
@@soybeanfarmer4576 If your life in Christ is upheld by submitting to any of the law, you are obligated to keep it all, not what you can do to the best of your ability. It sounds like you are picking and choosing which ones your strong in upholding and not so strong in other areas.......Your love for Messiah should be based on a commitment to him and not Moses and the law.

If you torture a verse long enough it will confess to anything; you've done a fine job on Matthew 5:17.

Hi, Marcello! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18).. Blessings, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Wholeheartedly agree. It is very clear that God is fulfilling the old laws of requiring a sacrifice, and it is further supported in Hebrew (as you pointed out). What I can not seem to find anywhere is God the Father or Son declaring Sunday to be the new sabbath. Nor have I found scripture where the disciples are claiming or treating Sunday as the new sabbath. If you could provide me with a Bible verse stating that Sunday is the new sabbath on which we should, it would greatly help my studies of the Bible. Thank you in advance!
@@marcellotwahirwa2182 Hi, Marcello. You will not find anywhere in Scripture that states that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday. Sunday is not the new Sabbath. Nor will you find any verses in which followers of Jesus are commanded, required, or expected to keep the seventh day Sabbath. You will, however, find verses which say that are not to let others judge us about whether we keep the Sabbath (Col. 2:16-17), or which days we choose to do such things (Rom 14:5-6). Blessings, RLS
Just got your book on kindle. Thanks for making these videos and writing your book. What is your view on tithing? Is that still a command from God? Do we have to tithe 10 percent before taxes to the church? Is Malachi 3:8 for us today? Do we rob God if we don't tithe to the church?
I will be honest, Scott. I have not looked into this issue in great detail. I know that God values generosity and He is not interested in legalism. He ultimately wants our heart, not our wallet. So does the OT concept of tithing carry over as a legal requirement? My gut says no, but again, I have not studied it in detail yet. That said, I believe Christians are called to even greater voluntary generosity than what the OT required. Not just the giving of our money, but of our time and other resources as well. Kostenberger said, "In the end, obedience in giving comes down to our relationship with the Father. Christians need to be willing to give whatever the Lord may ask, whether it be one percent, five percent, ten percent, twenty percent, or one hundred percent. Radical obedience to his guidance is required. Rather than quibble over some of the questions concerning tithing, we should ask, “How can I manage my affairs so that I can give more?” Giving our resources to aid the ministry of God should not be viewed as burdensome. According to Blomberg, “Christian giving is a gift from the grace of God, which he enables Christians to exercise. With the proper perspective, the more one gives, the more joy one can find in giving." I find that very biblical. Shalom, R.
@@TheBiblicalRoots I agree. I have done a ton of research and prayer on the subject. For some reason most churches who have the right view on the law and legalism still have the wrong view on tithing. My personal opinion is that church leadership often times worry if they don't say you must tithe that people will instead give small amounts that they are comfortable with instead. So they would rather have a budgeted amount they can count on. But they should instead trust God to provide through his people. The law required tithing but the new testament requires us to give it all. 100 percent is given to God through the way we steward our finances and talents. Thanks again for your work.
We know now that the original gospels were written in Hebrew (which makes sense since they were Hebrew) and so when we look at Matthew 5:17 the word we see now for law was originally Torah. The Torah is only part of the Tanach as it’s really an abbreviation TNK (Torah, Neviem, Kotvim” (Torah, prophets, and writings). Yes he is right that our righteousness no longer depends on our ability to uphold the Torah (which means instructions not law) as God knows that not one of us are able to do that. There also does take some deciphering between which parts have been fulfilled (Jesus is our eternal sacrifice) but where the error in this is the accomplished work and that none of it matters for us. If that was the case then why is adultery, homosexuality, and murder still wrong which is all from the Torah and the church still believes. Secondly, Jesus has fulfilled much of the Torah and prophets but not all. This is why he specifically says until heaven and earth pass which will only happen through Jesus second coming and after all that will come in revelations. Part of this we can only understand through specifically the feasts dictated by God in Leviticus 23 that Paul said are prophetic shadow pictures of what has and is to come. Yes we cannot actually sacrifice or keep these holy days but we should certainly be celebrating and remembering them as it has much to do with how Jesus is and will continue to be the fulfillment of scriptures. Sadly, as God said in Hosea “my people were destroyed for a lack of knowledge” which is happening right now in the church. We should be ready to give other people an answer for our faith and most believers cannot even begin to describe how Jesus actually fulfilled the scriptures. I would really caution both sides, those who are legalistic with the Torah and the mainstream church who think the law doesn’t matter at all to really seek Gods heart in this. These feasts and laws he made were really to protect us because he loves us, made us, and knows what’s best for us. I do believe he is asking us to relook at the Torah and prophets and even start celebrating these feasts because it will be part of understanding Jesus return. God bless!
Good afternoon, may i know what is your explanation on Ephesians 6:1-3, this passages is quoted by those who are holding to decalogue has its third use.
Hi Jackie! Are you talking about Calvin's “third and principal use” of the law is as an instrument to learn God’s will? Paul is obviously citing the 5th commandment (Exod. 20:12; Deut. 5:16) here, and his instruction is based on the principle of mutual submission he began speaking about in 5:21. (Paul likewise expects that children be treated with respect by their parents (see v. 4).) And he updates the promise that accompanied this commandment in the OT. In the Torah it says, "so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." Paul omits the phrase "your God is giving you" and instead says, "so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life *_on the earth”_* (NIV). (The Greek word behind "earth" is γῆ (gē), which can mean land or earth.) Paul is teaching the _principle_ behind this important Old Covenant commandment and placing it in a New Covenant context. We are still to honor our mother and father. Blessings, Rob
Sanctify means to be set apart, Lets read these verses in context..... For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified (Set apart) by the word of God (Lev 11) and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:4-5 Paul says were to use all Scripture for Doctrine. 2 Tim 3:16
All Scripture Gen. 7-At this time everyone eating plant based, the only qualification was not to eat of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 1:29; 2:16-17) (Obviously they wouldn’t eat poisonous foods) Gen. 8-Sacrifice clean animals Gen. 9-God blesses Noah and sons. Every living thing that moveth, Even as the green herb have I given you all things. v.4 The qualifier to that. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Mosaic law given specifically to Israel and not other nations, to set them apart-quite specific in its classifications in clean/unclean relating to eating. What was abomination to Israel. To Gentiles-Acts 15, 21 mentioned meat offered to idols (offensive to Jewish believers in this new meshing of Jewish and Gentiles believers), also blood and things strangled. There are also NT passages that talk about filtering our actions including sometime food in consideration of conscience and faith, those weaker in their faith. And then the verses you mentioned. Part of the New covenant. Again-pay attention to the wording. 1 Timothy 4:4-6 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. [6] If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. And the context verses before and after of those verses. 1 Timothy 4:1-2,7-9 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [7] But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. [8] For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. [9] This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. Hope this is edifying in your walk with the Lord and study of the Scriptures.
Rob----if you understood Daniel 9. 24.27 you would not confuse the ceremonial law with the Moral law....the law in Mt.5 17-18 is the 10 commandments -they are permanent.
He finished his mission of atoning for our sins. All that is written in the law and the prophets *is not yet accomplished.* Many things are prophesied to happen at his second coming and during his millennial reign on the earth.
Interesting ao you make the messiah a liar when he said " I do not come to do away with." Interesting stance to take. JESUS SAID he didn't come to do away with.. yet here we go woth almost every Christian that don't test the word or rarely read it are like oh he did away with it.. just wild to see.
Be careful this young man teaches THAT Matt 22,36,37 was done away with .It,s not for Christian .36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?” 37 Yahushua declared, “‘Love the Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ He is a deceiver .He teaches that obedience is not important anymore .
Matthew 5:18 I believe "Heaven and earth shall not pass away"... is a Hebrew idiom. They understood the Temple to be where Heaven/GOD meets Earth/man. When destroyed in 70ad, Heaven and Earth passed away. YESHUA is the temple that dwells in us, the Temple of the HS, meeting with HIM in our hearts. A more sincere abiding in faith.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for the ten commandments to be the law of Moses, mosaic law, or old testament law. The law of this scripture passage is the ten commandments, not the law of Moses. Isaiah has not been fulfilled. 66:23.
I was a born and bred Seventh Day Adventist and I studied my way to grace and salvation in Christ ALONE.
I’m in Complete total agreement.
What a mind set it is to have the mind of Jesus. The open objective mind to reason logically and spiritually and understand all these things. Proper right Interpretation is everything.
HALLELUJAH for this marvelous future and freedom in Christ. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The "freedom" from not enjoying the sabbath, which is a gift to man?
DO WHAT THOU WILT BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW - the churches JESUS CHRIST of their wicked hearts.
The Law that deals with Sin and Death is what JESUS has come to fulfill, The Temple has many Laws embedded on it! And JESUS pointed to HIS Disciples HE is The Temple, all its function is pointing to HIM! So we must not package, the whole Law( Torah) to The Temple law! Yes it was Fulfilled everything in CHRIST( All The Temple function),understanding Romans 7 , within the context and 8:1-4 ( will help) but, some laws, has to do with our neighbours, moral law has to continue in these sense! As long as we have the right perspective on it! which Apostle says in one of his Epistles ( GOD inspired Word)! After all when The King has rule in HIS KINGDOM with Justice and Righteousness, not in some kind of a Theological Anarchy, ( just a little thoughts, that may help us to grow and mature in our Spiritual life, our life still needed this life giving wisdom( 2 Timothy 3:16) So which Law are we operating? THE LAW OF SPIRIT which produces this LIFE in union with MESSIAH YESHUA, has set me free free from The Law of Sin and death! Shalom❤
Thank you Lord for directing my path to this channel. I truly want to live in a godly way. You truly helped me understand. May God continue to bless you. Amen 🙏🏽
I just discovered you today and I glorify God. You teach so well and easy for anyone to understand. 🙏 Thank you…

@TheBiblicalRoots ROB younshould teach maths I DON'T THINK your equations will balance
Absolutely incredible. No fluff just pure gold. Please never grow tired of edifying the saints
saints keep Torah. MAT 5:17 is the direct rebuke from Yahushua to the MAN of perdition who would think to change times (moedim - feast days calendar ) and laws (TORAH) prophesied by Daniel.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
THIS MAN IS THE 'WHOSOEVER" and all who follow him that RELAXES TORAH. This is the MAN that Solberg bows to in Rome, the Pope who controls the World Council of "Churches" the Nicene Creed Syndicate : Catholic Church. Solberg has a surprise if he is still alive in the fulfillment of prophet Zekeryahu which will bring famine and no rain on those who have survived of the families who have come against Israel ( ie hate Yahuah's Torah and those who are of the Commmon Wealth of spiritual Israel by the renewed covenant in keeping Torah). Solberg will be forced to go up to Jerusalem to keep the FEAST of Sukkot (Tabernacles) not SUNday or Christ Mass or Easter ( Ishtar) in Rome. If he dies before then he will not be seeing eternal life but fearful judgement and destruction of body and soul.
@@iyaskelu7173 Solberg will no tbe there to hold your hand when Yahuah asks you why you did not heed the words of Yahushua concerning his Torah. Moses also told you to listen to all that Yahushua would say when he comes. Yahushua is not a liar and he is not a Jesuit or a Catholic.
@@iyaskelu7173 Deu 18:15 YAHUAH (pw The LORD )thy Elohim (pw God) will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Deu 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other mighty ones (pw gods eg J-Zeus, G-O-D, LORD , Charis , Fides...) , even that prophet shall die

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I DISREGARDED them, says the LORD.
Amen Rob! I have been trying to Tell some of my HR family members these things for years! Thank you for simplifying it! Hopefully they will watch your videos and Just believe and follow Jesus! I can only pray that one day that will happen.👍🙏🙏🙏😌
Excellent brother, thanks. Can't stop watching your blogs since I came across you.
Fascinating. I found Mr. Solberg from watching a debate between Mr. Solberg and Rabbi Tovias Singer. Filmed in Nashville. Worth a watch. Decide for yourself. Dig into scripture. Awesome!
So appreciate your depth, balance, and fidelity to God's Word. We have many people in our city who are caught up in the snare of Torahism. Your teaching ministry is so helpful to pastors like me who want to patiently help them, and equip God's people to rightly divide Scripture. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much, Jeff! That means more than you know. The whole point of our ministry is to help the body of Christ navigate these mysterious and dangerous waters in a way that honors Christ. Praise God that our work is helpful to pastors like you.
Blessings, Rob
Brilliant Teaching Brother....I was praying for understanding on that very verse. Praise our Messiah ❤
This still reads as though it is good to keep Torah
@@StevenRotelli Indeed it does, amen. The Matthew passage says 'until *all* is accomplished'. It amazes and boggles my mind that anyone can read the law and the prophets and think that *all* has been accomplished (fulfilled). Much of what is written is not accomplished until the second coming and the millennial reign. The levitical system will even be reinstated (this will not even be the first time the levitical priesthood/temple has been destroyed and then later revived). Death is not destroyed until after Christ's millennial reign. The sacrifices (involving death) won't stop until _after_ death is destroyed. They are a 'picture' of Christ. Those living in the new age (millennium) will _need_ that picture. This teaching that *all* has been 'accomplished' is not even biblical.
Wish I had you around when a church friend succumbed to Hebrew Roots (Judaizing). Matt 5 is their go-to passage.
Verse 18 is the go to. "Until all is accomplished." Now read John 19:30.
Thank you sir!
I have a “Torah/ Hebrew observant” neighbor who has “attempted” to beat me up for years! (He means well, but is extremely dogmatic.)
Your teachings are so clear, and it’s interpretations so obvious, I shared your video’s with him and hopefully he will cease condemning folks who don’t observe the sabbath the way he does!Thanks again! You truly epitomize the idea that it isn’t enough to have knowledge, but there has to be a brilliance and excellence in conveying said knowledge!
All glory to God!
Acts 15:21 tells us they were taught what? And on what day??
@@qw2ps4
Acts 5, verse 20 - 21
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought
--------------------------------
The apostles preached Christ to everyone. As Jews they taught Christ to Jews. But it's evident they also taught Gentiles about Christ. They had an ability to do that in the temple so that's what they did. You think they went in there to teach Moses laws? 🤔
Are you comparing yourself with your neighbour or with what Yahuah commands? He tells you to rest from all your work on the seventh day. He says it is not hard (Deu 30:11) and to be called a delight. (Isa 58:13) Do you have a problem with that? He says his law is not burdensome and it is the love of Yahuah that we keep his commandments. (1 Jn 5:3) Neither Solberg nor your neighbour will be able to account for your actions. On the day of judgement you shall have to give your own account as to why you loved the ways of the world more than Yahuah.
@thomasprice1320 scripture says grace and attempting to keep the whole mosaic law are opposed. Read galatians perhaps?
@thomasprice1320 Jesus was a jew speaking to other Jews. Christians aren't against the law, but once the new covenant was in action the law takes on a new significance. In the passage you quote, Christ hadn't yet been crucified and resurrected and his first commission was to the Jews only. The great commission is to all people and Gentiles aren't under the entire mosaic covenant. They're under the new covenant, which has Christ, not Moses's laws as the center of it.
You’re a great teacher, I pray more people find you
Grace taught with Torah is the narrow path to life that few there are who find it. Open your hearts an learn how to walk that narrow path.
Amen 🙏. Let pray to walk the narrow path and endure to the very end
man i wrestled with this for a long time, I even asked michael heiser and he sdaly passed before an answer came. Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you brother. You explain things so well in scripture. Also, the respect you show to those who disagree doesn’t go unnoticed. I’m getting the Torahism book to further my understanding of obedience.
Rob, again thank you. You explain things so well. Your gift from the Lord to do this for the glory of Yahweh through Yeshua is truly via divine direction.
The scriptures are not confusing when they are paralleled and explained so consistently. You are a humble and appreciated Brother in Christ good sir.
Thank you.
Please do an episode on dispensationalism. I was going down the path of torahism but freed after watching your videos. Had a lot of guilt not keeping these Torah things thinking I was lazy and feeling beyond guilty. Thanks for your love on the teachings of the Bible. God is good!
Keep asking your guru to tickle your ears. Soothsayers and false prophets have been around since the beginning of time. One can always pay for them but you cannot buy your salvation.
@Mr2TIMOTHY4V2 it is my assumption that nobody here thinks anyone can pay for salvation . It's a free gift of grace from God.
@@prayunceasingly2029 Two idols that Christianity worships are Charis (Grace) and Fides (Faith). That is why they cannot accept the words of Yahushua concerning keeping the Torah in Mat 5:17-20.

I would like to add something that I feel is God's great exclamation point. When the temple curtain was torn by God at the death of Christ. God himself ended the ability for anyone to accomplish the law. So I ask, doesn't it seem that this was God's stamp of approval on Christs accomplishing all things and the end of the mosaic law?
Beautiful point, Nathan!
In the new covenant, God put His laws in our heart and put His Spirit inside of us and said He would cause us to walk out His commandments. The levitical system and the temple have been destroyed before...and then restored. That sacrificial system/temple never saved, either the first or second time. It is prophesied to be restored in the millennial kingdom on earth (a third time). It won't save then either _but it will continue to point us to Christ._ That is it's purpose. Jesus really meant it when he said heaven and earth will pass away before one jot or tiddle will pass from the law or the prophets.

Thank you for your teachings, I was looking for the answers you helped me to get. I am very grateful for this opportunity, thank you
Excellent video. Thank you. I never really considered all the verses which speak about things being fulfilled within the same book. You made excellent points. They will have to, at least, reconsider this particular text.
This has to be said! When someone starts questioning the Bible and starts looking for evidence, that in itself opens a door or gateway for unseen forces to enter in your spirit. In a real bad way. It’s ok to research things but if it ties into groups denying Yeshua/Jesus you will feel a dark shadow come over you. There is something sinister at play here guys. I have not once seen or felt the love of God coming forth from the Sacred Names/Torah followers! They don’t like the term God or Lord used in the Bible. I explained that The Lord God almighty is a powerful term to explain God or give a description. Nope! That’s a title not his name they say. Seems to me that their spirit does not want to glorify God that way. What is more powerful than saying the Lord God Almighty. To me there’s no other that have that title in all of creation. Is there a demon seed involved in those groups? I think so. Maybe not at the start but later it comes into fruition
The lack of love is certainly a red flag!!
And this is LOVE, that we keep his commandments...ONE OF THEM.....uses the NAME IN VAIN, well you not commandment believing SO YEAH, WE understand YOUR FOOLISH reasoning. With the wicked IT IS SUCH!
Good stuff that is awesome how you put it! When I originally read the text it gave me a similar sense that the scripture is glorifying christ by saying that He fulfilled all of the law but I didn't catch the part about the prophets too until now. It's a really powerful statement that Jesus accomplished all of that. Thanks!
This was so easy to understand I loved it....Blessings to you brother.I have your book and have subscribed found you on “Good Fight Ministries”keep up this great work so refreshing 🙏😊
" It is finished!" " At that moment the curtain of the temple( covering the entrance to the holy of holies, where the High Priest made the yearly sacrifice for the peoples sins)-" wat torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split, and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life" Jesus had finished the eternal sacrifice for all sins, and fullfilled all the law and the prophets, and the curtain of the holy of holies of the temple was ripped apart to reveal that the law and the prophets, had been fullfilled,
So you think Jesus has returned a second time, Jesus is reigning on the earth, the Dead Sea is full of fish, there are no wild animals, etc.? All things _are not yet fulfilled_ but they will be during Jesus second coming and millennial reign on this earth.
Literally taking scripture out of context and calling Jesus a liar at the same time. He said he didn't come to do away with..yet you make him out to be lying and saying he did away with it.. how do you people not get this.
See how dumb Satans agents are?
They are list in din! They have only a carnal irrational mind.
How do you reconcile this with the prophecies concerning the return of Christ and the Millennial Kingdom that have not come to pass?
if the law is no longer in affect what sin do we have to repent of? for sin is the transgression of the law
Hi, Mr. Steve! Actually, John tells us that "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is _lawlessness"_ (ἀνομία); meaning rebellion, disobedience, living as a law unto ourselves rather than submitting to God (see Deut 9:7, 24; 31:27). The sin we repent of today is rebellion against God and “missing the mark” when it comes to living out His will for our lives in love, service, and purity.
For those under the law of Moses, breaking that law was sinful, of course. But sin is much bigger than that! In fact, “sin was in the world _before_ the law was given” (Rom. 5:13, see Gen 4:7; 13:13; 18:20; 39:9). So if we merely define sin as a transgression of the Law of Moses, then Adam and Eve never sinned, because they did not break any of the Mosaic commands.
Blessings, Rob
They're not mosaic commands rob
They're commands of YHVH who later sent Moses. Beyond the sacrifices which are penance and penalties of law more than law which commandments did Jesus want to fulfill? (remove) Have no other gods before me? Idols? Adultery, theft. I actually came here for understanding , but I really don't understand your goal.
There's about a 2 percent chance I have Hebrew roots from an ancestor, tops! Not about Jewish roots for me. But defending the ordinances of god.
And doing my best to follow them as Christ did. So if I struggle with it sometimes, at least I do struggle, if I eat clean foods I don't do it for salvation, but as a reminder that he, and not me is king, nor do I impose that on others who are not called to do so. It's not even something I make a point of discussing with people unless it comes up.
If a person eats unclean food, the prescribed punishment is: nothing. The Mosaic Law does not give a punishment for breaking kosher laws (Leviticus 11). Typically, a person would become ceremonially unclean because of touching a dead person or a non-kosher animal, or from having a discharge of some kind.
if I hang tzitzit from the mirror of my truck it's the same. A reminder that Jesus purchased me and I belong to him, and he makes the rules. TORAH. From equidistant letter spacing from the first yod the book of Leviticus in the original text spells over and over YHVH, he actually signed it. I'm a believer in Christ, his righteousness is the only such that is in me.
I came here looking for an easier way maybe. But Christ doesn't teach at all that his way is easy, for me I have decided my walk is appropriate as is . And while I came to you for answers I would much rather now appeal to you for your knowledge and the sake of the flock to examine your doctrine since all is at stake for so many beloved who would be sons of god,
Blessings in Christ.
1 John 5:17a “All unrighteousness is sin”
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Sin-past, present and future was dealt with at the cross.
One sacrifice for all time.
1 John 1:7-10
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
I kept thinking of the Petra song "It Is Finished".
All is accomplished! Like Jesus said on the cross!
False! Not all is accomplished yet. Petra is not the WORD of Elohim. The Torah REMAINS so that the wicked (those who come against it Zech 14 etc) can be judged by it. "Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to Elohim (pw God) the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “Elohim has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he [Yahushua (pw Jesus] is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that Elohim may be all in all."(1Co 15:24-28) This verse also CONFIRMS THE SOVEREIGNTY of YAHUAH for there is only one YAHUAH (not three) and only ONE Son by whom we are saved YAHUSHUA which means YAHUAH (his Father) has Saved who is ANOINTED BY YAHUAH's Spirit
Thank you so much for this May God bless you and you continue posting 😊
Awesome teaching Solberg!
After verse 20 he helps us to see what law he is talking about, which hasn't changed. He is speaking about the ten commandments, don't murder, don't commit adultery, etc. And he shows that this moral law goes deeper than the letter. For example showing that even lusting after a woman is adultery. This moral law is just as it was written in stone and just as it has been written in the hearts of many believers since the time of Adam and Eve (see Heb 11 for the faithful that had the law written in their hearts). As a bonus, in Matthew 5, Jesus even mentions an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, teaching contrary to that, showing it isn't the civil law he is referring to.
So absolutely beautiful. Our Messiah has done it. Thanks brother
Fulfillment does not mean end of the Torah.
Hello and blessings. I am a believer in the whole word. I guess you would call me a Torah keeper. So I disagree with your assessment on the righteousness of the pharisees. Jesus isn’t coming up with a new righteousness. It’s the same righteousness that has always been (Psalm 119:42 your righteousness is for ever, your law is truth.) Jesus exposes the pharisees for who they are in Matt 23:2-3 “The pharisees sit on moses’ seat, so DO and OBSERVE whatever they tell you but not the works they do. For they PREACH but do not PRACTICE. They did not keep the law.” If I look at Matt 5:17-19 I see what I am supposed to do. I am supposed to DO and TEACH even the least of the commandments, as opposed to the pharisees that did not do even though they taught the law. If you go down the line on Matt 23 you’ll see much of the same judgments that are found in Matt 5-7 and Jesus tells them they are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. They had their own thoughts on what people should do and they added to the law many things burdening the people with their teachings apart from sitting in moses seat. For example, all the commands they want to condemn people for doing on the sabbath when Gods word doesn’t say those things are forbidden. Also, there are many prophecies that have not been accomplished because we await Jesus’ return. There are a great many prophecies about the last day. I’ve been told by many that what needed to be accomplished was his death and resurrection I believe it’s his return which when it happens heaven and earth will actually pass away, (Rev 21:1). And in rev 21:6 He says “it is done!” The word for done here is ginomai which is the same word used in matt 5:18 for accomplish. The word used for when Jesus says it is finished is In John 19:30 which is teleo. Because of this I think that it is actually when heaven and earth pass away that an iota and jot can pass from the law. I just want to obey Jesus when he tells me that I should “not think” that he had come to abolish the law. So If I love like he abolished any law then I must be thinking it and that he told me not to do. My interpretation of abolish is to relax the commandments. And my definition of fulfill is to DO and Teach. This is what he is contrasting and telling us about in Matt 5:19. I like your videos although I don’t agree with the conclusions. I think you have a nice way of talking to people like me with out condemning. (Any capitalization of words is not out of anger but for emphasis. I hope you understand.) Thanks!
So with that being said I just want to add that I don’t feel obigated do any of this nor do I think God forces anyone to do it. It is my expression of love to God. He tells me if I love him I would keep his commandments. I do this because I do love him and I am doing it because I am grateful for my salvation not to earn salvation. I John 2:3 and by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. The law doesn’t annul the promise and if not then I will continue to love him in this way. Thanks again.
Fair enough, davelyn! My position is that, for Christians, those Mosaic traditions are permitted but not required. So if you are keeping them not out of a sense of obligation, but rather as a personal expression of your love for God, then God bless you!
Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots you say permitted but not required... What would you say to Christians who use James 2:10 to say that those who try and keep the law for any reason are not saved?
this the best teaching, I have ever heard about that scripture. it's 2024! and I how am i jusI discovering Solberg. T hanks for the teaching !
Thanks for the video! I explain it this way: the sole purpose of commandments such as circumcision or not eating pork was to separate Israel as a special people from which the Savior of the world will come. And since the purpose is fulfilled the means are no longer necessary. Basically the laws are still there in our Bibles with no iota or dot changed. It's just there's no one to fulfill them.
Well said, Vadim!
Blessings, Rob
So we keep part of the law of Moses have anybody ever read James 210
1: Jews at that time would not have believed that the messiah would come to abolish the law. This indicates that these are words put into Jesus mouth much later when this became an issue amongst gentile Christians, most likely a response to Paul’s teachings.
2: most
Messianic prophecies are not fulfilled yet, therefore it doesn’t matter if heaven or earth pass away or everything is fulfilled, in any case no iota nor tittle shall be removed.
3: The Hebrew Scriptures are clear that the Torah is eternal and will be written into the hearts of all returning Jews to Israel so they keep its statutes and laws.
What law did Abraham, Isaac & Jacob follow? They were under grace - I have yet to meet someone who can keep the Law, so you claim that you can? If so, you think that you do not need Jesus Christ and are justified under the Law.
You have to ask yourself what Law was Christ talking about! The Ten Commandments were given for the hardness of the hearts of the Children of Israel. Christ said the Law & the Prophets were fulfilled in Two Commandments.
I have HR friends who try to be Jewish. As you say, they have an "identity crises". You got me to thinking and I realize their identity crises is really envy of the Jewish race and their traditions. Which of course breaks the command to not envy our neighbors.
Did you know at the feast of Passover he told them it was time all to be accomplished? He said he couldn't go up just yet because his time hadn't come just yet. He would go later.
Please kindy clarity/ expound.
He also said he would return to drink of the fruit of the vine - ie when the marriage covenant is consummated (marriage supper) ie not yet accomplished. Torah remains.
Context you say. Really???
Wow, old video. I saw this searching Matthew 5,18. So, i thought I would take a look. This is the link i clicked on from the other video. Also, with the conflict in the middle east, i like staying refreshed on this topic. It very relevant with what is happening in conjuction with Isreal. While at 19:02 i paused and thought. When Jesus was here at that time. What comes to mind is, he did not teach 2 different things, believe in him and practice law for salvation. He taught 1 thing really and that was to believe in him, and just like the teaching in this video, he was fulfilling what was fortold. Which, this is very in depth and dissecting these scriptures. My thinking was, no matter how many temples they build in Jerusalem and the red heifer and all that, it means nothing to God, and Jesus said He is the only way to God and any other way wer theives ect. So essentially, when we come into contact with a jew, we dont say... okay, good that you dont believe Christ, i hope your living good by the law/torah, have a nice day. No, were to earnestly try and convert them.
I really hope people have read "all" the laws of moses.
The law is a goal. The heart of the matter is the weighter, right? Those who have a heart after God will fit the dress code to the after-party, the law will be written on their hearts, it's just things we'll do. "Love is fulfillment of the law" John.
The passage is actually simpler than most make it out to be.
"Ginomai" does not mean fullfilled NOR accomplished. It's poorly translated most of the time.
Ginomai means "a total change in the condition".
Therefore, Mathew 5:18 is better translated and understood as:
"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 changes to THAT condition".
Until everything changes to THAT condition. Which condition? Well, the aforementioned condition,...namely, the passing of heaven and earth.
Jesus is saying, pretty clearly I might add when people bother to translate passages accurately, that until the condition changes to the passing of the heaven and earth, He will change nothing from the Law or Prophets.
If you can read this, then rest assured, the Law and the Prophets still exist for believers in Christ.
DID YOU KNOW JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES?
Reading is in Matthew 23
Jesus in the previous chapter was confronted by the Pharisees and their disciples who wanted to trap him by what he said. Sadducees also joined in with their question, but Jesus silenced them all.
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
“When the scribes and the Pharisees are seated in the seat of Moses. Therefore DO whatever they tell you, and OBSERVE and DO. But do not after their works, because they don’t practice what they teach.”” Matthew 23:1-3
What is Jesus saying & what is the "seat of Moses"?
When the Scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses they are reading from the Torah, the law of Moses. Jesus is saying to obey what they are reading.
Jesus then gives a warning. "But do not after their works, because they don’t practice what they teach."
Through out the rest of chapter 23 Jesus highlights their hypocrisies and their duplicity as he scolds them for not doing what they preach.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:18 that the law of Moses and the prophets will not pass away until heaven and earth pass away. Heaven and Earth don't pass away until after Jesus 1000 reign on earth.
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; ...." Revelation 21:1 KJV
Jesus/Yeshua said:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matthew 5:17 KJV
Wait, why is it when the verse adds “the prophets” does it give less value to the law? Doesn’t it just mean both? As in the whole Tanakh? The Torah is the first 5 books of the Tanakh so wouldn’t that mean the mosaic law is included in what is not changing?
Also why would Jesus add “until the Heaven and Earth pass away” if he didn’t mean it literally when he means everything else in this specific passage literally? I feel like the existence of Revelation proves that the earth and Heaven will pass away meaning all has not been fulfilled.
Help me understand please, I hope you see this and give me a little more insight, I loved the video and agreed with most of it, just these two issues kind of felt looked over.
Christ came to fulfill. Fulfill = Pleroo (Stong’s #4137) other meanings: to complete, to finish, to fully preach.
Romans 15:19 by power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have (Pleroo Strong’s #4137) fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. (“Fully preached” in KJV).
Abolish according to Marian-Webster Dictionary: to end the observance or effect of (something, such as a law): to completely do away with (something).
Given these 2 definitions of Fulfill and Abolish and the fact that heaven and earth haven’t passed away, I’m not sure I understand his interpretation as it’s explained.
His use of Heaven and Earth is a metaphor here, used to describe the relationship between God and his people.
God = Heaven = As above
People = Earth = So below
It’s the old relationship between God and his people that passes away and a new relationship begins at his resurrection.
His death and resurrection is what needed to be accomplished so that all would be fulfilled.
How do we know that we are in a new Heaven and Earth (new relationship)?
“I have been given👉 ALL 👈authority 👉in Heaven and on earth”👈
Matthew 28:18
Now, let’s go all the way on this one. How do we know we are not under the law of Moses?
“Teaching them to observe ALL that👉 [ I ] have commanded you”👈
Matthew 28:20
This verse should really end the debate and have Torah keepers and grace alone adherits rethinking their theology.
Clearly here Yeshua calls for following HIS commands, not Moses and not lawlessness.
Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 is a preface to Yeshua giving most of his commandments in Matthew 5:21 through Matthew 7.
When Yeshua says:
“and whoever so shall break the least of one of 👉THESE 👈commandments”
The commandments he is talking about are the ones he is ABOUT to give, starting at Matthew 5:21 which is the very next verse.
Yeshua was given ALL authority in the relationship between God and his people, Heaven and Earth has passed away, we are in a New Heaven and Earth (relationship) under the authority of Yeshua, and should be observing his commands as he laid out in Matthew.
I always ask people what law was Abraham to Moses under… the obvious answer is they were under grace & mercy!
According to the Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the meaning of "fulfill" that Yahshua specified, in its grammatical construct, means: "γ. universally and absolutely, to fulfil, i. e. "to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment": Matthew 5:17" See that? Yahshua showed how His Law is to be lived, and how to obey them. That does not bode well for the continuance of the Law of Moses since Yahshua clearly stated much higher standards when what is outlined in the Law of Moses and the prophets. Destroy? No. Establish a new and better covenant...yes.
Very fascinating video and informative. In that passage of scripture it is said that Jesus was using an Jewish idiom.
For the example the word Abolished and Fulfill has a different meaning. The word "abolish" means not interpreting correctly and the word "Fulfill " means proper interpretation.
Also heaven and earth is not talking about a literal Heaven and Earth. It this context Heaven is the temple and earth is Jerusalem/Israel.
When Jesus died on the cross He said it was finished. Then the veil in the Holy of Holies inside the temple was ripped in half from top to bottom.
Then in 70 AD the Roman army came and destroyed the temple and much of Jerusalem, thus Heaven and Earth passed away.
That's an interesting angle, Joshua. Thanks!
Rob
The veil that was torn was actually the *outer curtain*, with the images of heavenly bodies that was visible by non-priestly onlookers. Thus forming an "inclusio" in Mark's Gospel where the actual heavens are ripped open at Yeshua's baptism.
The heaven and earth in Matthew 5 is *not* the Temple but the heavens and earth that Moses calls as witnesses in Deuteronomy 30:19.
@@dandeliontea7 The verse you shared in Deuteronomy is so important I am posting it within it's context here. Amen.
Deuteronomy 30:15-20
"See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity; *in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments,* that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. But if your heart turns away *and you will not obey,* but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. *I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,* that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, *by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him;* for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
As long as this heaven and earth are witnesses, nothing will pass.
Great video and fantastic job distilling down these ideas into such an informative teaching. You should check out the book “the Moses connection” for how the feasts of Israel related to Jesus life and miracles.
Also someone who has really helped me is a guy named Don K Preston who is currently writing a book about how Jesus fulfilled all of the feasts of israel which is a great argument against HRM. God bless bro.
Please send me the name of the book of Don Preston. Because the last 3 feast are not fulfilled yet.

@@CAT3616G please explain
You are using too many words. The verses simply means every statement of the Law and prophets has to be fulfilled. The statements will not just disappear as you want us to believe.
Notice that Paul said who commits sin is a slave of sin, so... Sin is still active as well as righteousness, there for be slaves of righteousness unto sanctification. We are not under the law but under grace wich TEACHES us to deny ungodliness. He said with my MIND i serve the LAW of God. We dont have to go to temple now, cuz we are temple. John described the process how it is done. LOOK...If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.My dear children, I write this to you so that you will NOT SIN. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. ITS A PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION, S A L V A T I O N FROM SIN!
Good morning. So I have a question for you. I am speaking with one of my family members who is involved in HRM and he told me yesterday besides not believing in the Trinity, and Jesus not being equal with the father, he also does not believe that the New Testament is scripture. Can you help me with this please?
Check out James White’s book “the forgotten trinity” and “A Definitive Look at Oneness Theology: In the Light of Biblical Trinitarianism” by Edward L Dalcour.
Hi, Leona. I'm so sorry to hear that. In my experience, when someone starts down the Hebrew Roots road and ends up rejecting Jesus and the New Testament, they are most likely converting to Judaism. It sounds like some teacher has been whispering lies in your family member's ear and they have believed them. Do you know where they are hearing these things?
Without knowing the person or the situation, it's hard to offer advice. Other than loving them and praying for them!

Wonderful thank you!
The law is a must in God’s Kingdom. There’s no Kingdom without law therefore law still stands
Why do people struggle so hard to trust the scriptures at face value. All is accomplished clearly points to when "Death and Hell" are cast into the lake of fire, as there is no more sin. The wages of sin is death, and so of course once sin no longer exists there will be no more need for the law.
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
Revelation 20:14 KJV
Secondly, if we are going to acknowledge any of the law as important, then ALL of the law is important.
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
James 2:10 KJV
The law is not hard to keep, please friends, look into it, God didnt give us 613 ways to be burdened, but 613 ways to love him and be blessed by Him. It's not about being perfect, you already hold this view about many of God's laws, all you now have to do is expand it to the entire law.
I am in total agreement that the scripture in the book of Matthew is making reference to the old Testament books and not the law of Moses. If that was the case Jesus would never have sat there and declare that the Law of Moses said but I say, so many times. Anyone who believe this passage was referring to the Mosaic Law is denying Jesus as the Christ because the Law clearly states that No one outside the tribe of Levi was to serve as priest. That was the Law. Yet Jesus, who is our High Priest today was from the tribe of Judah. In order for this to happen the law had to change. Hebrews 7:11-19; 23-28. The bible refers to the law of Moses as. "The old Law, had there not been a new law it would have remained just the law. According to scripture, the old law was removed because it had too many faults. God promises to rewrite his laws, not on tablets, like he gave to Moses, but on the heart of his people Hebrews 8:10-12; Jer 31:33-34.
Jesus is the Cornerstone of Heaven and Earth, when he said on the cross it is finished! This represents the passing away of Heaven and Earth symbolically in fleshly body. He has fulfilled the full requirement of the law , satisfying a debt we could not pay. That is why he is the Sabbath from the beginning and now he is the final spiritual sabbath without a heavy yoke. Amen
The mosaic law and the ten comandments are seperate. The ten were in the arc and the others were attached to the side. The mosaic law has been done away with but not the ten.The ten show up in Rev. 11:19.
For those that say Paul is a false apostle, how would we prove to them he was? I’ve had debates with someone I actually know that thinks he’s a test from God and is false. I’ve referenced that person to 2 Peter 3:15-16. Yet, they still disregard and refute it.
That’s a tough discussion, Benavi, because the foundational beliefs are so different. For those who want to reject Paul as a false apostle, also need to reject the books of the Bible that he wrote, which means we don’t even have agreement on what is Scripture. And for those who want to accept the parts of Scripture they like, and reject the parts, they don’t, it’s not the Bible they believe but themselves.
Shalom, RLS
Paul is a true apostle. Peter confirms this as you shared. Also notice that Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna would have been the pastor at the time of the letter sent to the church of Smyrna in the Revelation. Smyrna received _no_ rebuke. Polycarp, their pastor, spoke about Paul as a dear brother in his own letter which you can look up. So Polycarp was not rebuked by Jesus for accepting Paul and his writings. I hope that helps?
@@TheBiblicalRoots The worst part about it. some of these people don't just reject it, some of the horrific things they say about Paul's writings (I won't even repeat) they are saying about words inspired by God, therefore they blaspheme the word of God in the most detestable way. They say Follow Jesus not Paul while using profanities.
(1) *_Law AND the Prophets,_* versus *_Law OR the Prophets._* With the _or_ conjunction He seems to distinguish between them, not collectively. I know that view may be word-smithing, but you keep saying "Law AND Prophets" when the text clearly says "Law OR Prophets" and then "Law" only in verse 18.
(2) We also need to ask if the Commandments are actually an integral part of the Law, or do the Commandments precede the Law? And in fact, are the Commandments more fundamental to man's relationship with God than what the Law itself represents? Is the Law of Moses the "school teacher" for how the Jews were keep the Commandments, while the Law of Christ is the more perfect understanding of the Commandments? This may be why the "You have heard it said..." teachings that follow beginning in verse 21.
Is there another place in Greek or Hebrew literature from the era contemporary to Jesus and apostles that uses "Until heaven and earth pass away"? I suspect it's an idiomatic expression.
Is that Philosophical foundations for a Christian worldview on your chair back there?

I assume it's Christ's gospel that was the major accomplishment. It was fulfilled. Now everything that comes after the gospel has a different context than the old covenant. What God did in Christ through the gospel was world changing and opened up the way for all to be saved in Christ (not by law keeping as we see in Acts 15 and in the entire book of galatians and parts of romans as well).
Edit - everything that's left to fulfill is fulfilled in the light of what Christ accomplished in his gospel. That's my understanding anyway
@@prayunceasingly2029 What I understand is that the Mosaic covenant (law) was fulfilled, but the Abrahamic covenant (faith) is yet in progress.
Thank you Teacher!
When Jesus declared “It is finished!”, he died for our sins and right then and there the Law expired! That’s the fulfillment he is speaking of in Matthew 5!
Absolutely beautiful ❤️.. outstanding commentary my brother !!
Does Matthew 5:17-20 teach the Law is still in effect for Christians? Answer: Yes! HalleluYah. That's what Yahusha said....simple. Satan: That's not what he said..

Great vid brother!
So how did Yeshua abolish the dietary laws before "all was fulfilled." He declares all foods clean in Mark 7 but this is before he dies on the cross. Why is he telling people they can break part of the Law of Moses before he fulfils it?
That is a fantastic question that I addressed in another video. But the cliff notes version is twofold:
First, we risk error if we try to impose our modern sense of precision of time onto the ancient text of the Bible. The Gospel writers didn't walk around with sundials on their wrists and calendars in their pocket. :-) And second, the parenthetical comment in Mark 7:19 "(thus he declared all foods clean)" was actually a summary added by the author of the Gospel. These aren’t words uttered by Jesus at the time. It wasn't until after the resurrection that His followers began to understand what it all meant. And even then it took them a while! (Remember Peter's vision in Acts 10, and how Peter then later separated from the Gentiles and was rebuked for it (Gal 2)). So decades after the actual incident, as the Gospel writer was recounting the story, he added this statement to sum up for his readers what Jesus was getting at. “(Thus he declared all foods clean.)”
Blessings, Rob
@Defending the Biblical Roots of Christianity I appreciate the response. Could you direct me to the video you're referencing? I am still struggling to understand how Yeshua could have removed a part of the law verbally to the people before he died, even if the people may not have understood it at the time. Did his words not take effect until he died? I feel like he would have said this, or maybe we are to assume as such, knowing what he said in Matthew 5:17-19.
Very good brother
Isn't the entire NT audience relative to the first century? Where does Paul or jesus ever mention the generations to come after (like us) it seems the gospel was not supposed to carry on.
Doesn't work for me, revelation says when heaven and earth pass away, Isaiah says the will be Sabbath's kept when the Messiah comes, the PROPHETS explain the end of the temporary sacrificial "added" law.
I'll give you a 10 on your word gymnastics shalom
But day & night shall cease as God will be our light! In Hebrews 4:3-11 the rest is Heaven through Jesus Christ. God did not make a Covenant with a day, Christ gives us rest from our works of salvation! Everything must be in context… Christ said come unto me and I will give you rest.
11:48 i really need this presenter to read the law. We see in Acts that the disciplining Paul and having him make the Nazarite vow sacrifices to show the law was still in effect. There is no change in the law because the law dictates that you cant sacrifice anywhere but the temple and sacrifice stop if the temple is gone, and when the temple is gone israel is kept be grace during the curse judgment as spoken by the prophets.
Hello, DeVeau! Paul's keeping of the law in Acts 21, and the other Mosaic traditions kept by the apostles, don't show that the law is still in effect. Instead, they remind us that those things were never prohibited and are still permissible. But they are not required. And they certainly don't add a thing to the righteousness that is ours through faith in Jesus. Probably the most clear NT text showing that those things are "permitted but not required" is when the apostle Paul describes his relationship to the law:
19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. -1 Corinthians 9

@@TheBiblicalRoots Good morning, keeping the law would be one thing but they were worried about the spread of a teaching of not keeping the wrong. Which would go hand in hand with what Jesus to talk warned the disciples about; even teaching against the law would make you a slave/outcast in the kingdom of heaven. This is likely why Peter letters warned about the twisting of Paul's letters.
Blessing DeVeau
@@TheBiblicalRoots sorry because I missed your section of Paul's e letter. Please look at verse 21 of the example you posted
" THIS VERSE IN MATHEW SUPPORTED THAT JESUS CHRIST IS EXACTLY THE LAW HIMSELF TO PUT IN MATHEMATICALLY JESUS CHRIST = THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HIMSELF. FAITH COUNTS. "
Why do you Ignore Christ's command in Matthew 23:1-3? Any one who relaxes the least of these commands will be least in the Kingdom? The great Commission calls us to do and to teach ALL that Christ Commands!
Which of Christ's commands do you think I am ignoring, Darcy?
I teach and believe that obedience is God’s “love language.” Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I'm sure you would agree that not every command that God has given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or for certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I'm sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT teaches that the ceremonial Mosaic commands do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6).

Fulfilled at The Cross!!!!!
Before Jesus dies what did he say about the law? When did heaven and earth pass?
Luke 16:17
New King James Version
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.
Years after Jesus has died, what was Paul doing? He was offering sacrifices and in the Temple although Jesus was supposedly the last sacrifice. Is the law of Moses being practiced by Paul years after Jesus has died or was this not a true statement?
Acts 24:17-18
New King James Version
“Now after many years I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation, 18 in the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple,
We know James had no teachings about the law of Moses going away and in front of many he made Paul and others pay for sacrifices and go to the Temple for purification after Jesus has died. James surely had nothing to say concerning an end of ceremonial laws. Acts 21:20-26
Paul had a chance to tell his vision and Revelations form Jesus to James but did not open his mouth about it. Galatians 1:11-12
That's three accounts form the NT that the law was in effect after the death of Jesus. Jews were subject to the 613 laws and Gentiles were subject to the seven laws of Noah alluded to in Acts 15:20
Genesis 9:1-6, Genesis 20:1-4, Genesis 35:2, Genesis 31:19
Righteousness and Eternal life comes from keeping the law. Deuteronomy 32:46-47, Deuteronomy 6:25, Luke 1:6, Luke 10:25-28, Acts 22:12, Romans 10:5, Philippians 3:5-6
Do not believe me, look up these verses yourselves.
If you understood the day of atonement, you would understand that the sacrifice was done before the high priest went into the holy place. When Jesus said it is finished, the sacrifice was finished. Jesus fulfilled all the requirements of the sacrifice. According to hebrews he is now serving as high priest. So not all is finished, otherwise we would already be in heaven. Also when Jesus says when heaven and earth pass away, it parallels when all is fulfilled. That means that will happen at the same time. Usually it’s the simple explanation that is true. Why take a straight forward statement of Jesus and come up with a convoluted explanation of why he didn’t mean what he said. If this is how scripture is to be used, then you can make the scripture say anything you want. Historically, the church has been known to do exactly that.
"Heaven and earth" may be an idiom for the "Israel and the Temple" and if so, Jesus's words in Luke 21:22 are the fulfillment he has in mind for this.
In Torah Law is the 10 commandments apart of the 613 commands? If so and I believe they are, how do you parcel out the 4th commandment from the 10 written on stone laws + the 603 additional commands in the Torah?
Deuteronomy 5:2-4
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. [3] The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. [4] The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

[15] And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Nehemiah 9:13-14
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: [14] And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

I follow the Torah to the best of my abilities. I don’t follow the Torah for salvation because the scripture never says that. I follow the Torah because they are His commandments and I love Him for what he did for us. I don’t want to write a book here, but look into the following statements and hope it helps:
1) Jesus says in John that he has 2 new commandments: Love your Lord God with all your might, strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Are they new? No. Please find in Duet. 6:4 and Lev. 19:18. (Torah).
2) Jesus says next that the Torah and the prophets hang from these 2 commandments.
3) Here is the tie in:
Love your Lord God with all your heart,might,strength.
1-4 of the 10 commandments
Love your neighbor as yourself.
5-10 of the 10 commandments
The rest of the Torah (commandments) tell you how to do the Love God and Neighbor commandments.
4) When moses finally came down with the stone tablets, not just the 10 commandments were written down. The whole Law was also written on the front and back. Find in Exodus. That means the law was written on stone as well.
2Peter 3:15-19 says that if you read Paul’s writings without a foundation which I believe is the Torah and prophets, you will become lawless (Without Torah). That sure came true. Hope this helps. Peace
@@soybeanfarmer4576 If your life in Christ is upheld by submitting to any of the law, you are obligated to keep it all, not what you can do to the best of your ability. It sounds like you are picking and choosing which ones your strong in upholding and not so strong in other areas.......Your love for Messiah should be based on a commitment to him and not Moses and the law.
Humanity is separated from God, how does the individual stand justified by God? By Christ and nothing else or by Christ and something else?
@@emmanuel5984 Sounds like you support Lawlessness in your statements. Things to consider in context:
The ORAL Law of the Pharisees was steep in keeping their additions to the Torah through a works based system, ex. Circumcision.
Jesus alone for Salvation without silly add-on works in the ORAL Law for sure.
If you love Him, you will keep His commandments (That’s the TORAH).
Messiah is THE LAW OF MOSES
Peter warned of your theology in his letter.
Law of Moses = Torah
@@emmanuel5984 What is the biblical definition of sin?
Why did you added the word
Minute 7:10
He is clearly saying to fulfill the prophets. Why did you added
(What they told of me) he says fulfill THEM) THEM meaning them prophets is speaking in plural Them
If you torture a verse long enough it will confess to anything; you've done a fine job on Matthew 5:17.
Also, I have read a lot of Bible translations/version, and have yet to discover one that adds "Hebrew Scriptures" in place of Law and
Prophets.
Let's go back to Genesis 3:1 'did God really say'...
Jesus was also born under the law (Gal 4:4), and you and I were not, Tom.

@@TheBiblicalRoots Jeremiah 31:33 NASB1995
[33] “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
If the Law is done away with what is God writing on the hearts of His people?
@@paulwiederhold7629 Hi Paul. I think Scripture answers your question best: "But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code." (Rom 7:6, NASB 1995).
RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots so is the 'new way of the Spirit' what Jesus taught? Do not commit adultery; the Law + do not even look at someone with lust; the Spirit. Do not murder; the Law + do not hate your brother; the Spirit. Having both working together?

The Holy Spirit
genuine question here. so how do you interpret 1 John 2:3-6?
Hi, Marcello! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18)..
Blessings, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Wholeheartedly agree. It is very clear that God is fulfilling the old laws of requiring a sacrifice, and it is further supported in Hebrew (as you pointed out). What I can not seem to find anywhere is God the Father or Son declaring Sunday to be the new sabbath. Nor have I found scripture where the disciples are claiming or treating Sunday as the new sabbath. If you could provide me with a Bible verse stating that Sunday is the new sabbath on which we should, it would greatly help my studies of the Bible. Thank you in advance!
@@marcellotwahirwa2182 Hi, Marcello. You will not find anywhere in Scripture that states that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday. Sunday is not the new Sabbath. Nor will you find any verses in which followers of Jesus are commanded, required, or expected to keep the seventh day Sabbath. You will, however, find verses which say that are not to let others judge us about whether we keep the Sabbath (Col. 2:16-17), or which days we choose to do such things (Rom 14:5-6).
Blessings,
RLS
Just got your book on kindle. Thanks for making these videos and writing your book.
What is your view on tithing? Is that still a command from God? Do we have to tithe 10 percent before taxes to the church? Is Malachi 3:8 for us today? Do we rob God if we don't tithe to the church?
I will be honest, Scott. I have not looked into this issue in great detail. I know that God values generosity and He is not interested in legalism. He ultimately wants our heart, not our wallet. So does the OT concept of tithing carry over as a legal requirement? My gut says no, but again, I have not studied it in detail yet. That said, I believe Christians are called to even greater voluntary generosity than what the OT required. Not just the giving of our money, but of our time and other resources as well.
Kostenberger said, "In the end, obedience in giving comes down to our relationship with the Father. Christians need to be willing to give whatever the Lord may ask, whether it be one percent, five percent, ten percent, twenty percent, or one hundred percent. Radical obedience to his guidance is required. Rather than quibble over some of the questions concerning tithing, we should ask, “How can I manage my affairs so that I can give more?” Giving our resources to aid the ministry of God should not be viewed as burdensome. According to Blomberg, “Christian giving is a gift from the grace of God, which he enables Christians to exercise. With the proper perspective, the more one gives, the more joy one can find in giving." I find that very biblical.
Shalom,
R.
@@TheBiblicalRoots I agree. I have done a ton of research and prayer on the subject. For some reason most churches who have the right view on the law and legalism still have the wrong view on tithing. My personal opinion is that church leadership often times worry if they don't say you must tithe that people will instead give small amounts that they are comfortable with instead. So they would rather have a budgeted amount they can count on. But they should instead trust God to provide through his people. The law required tithing but the new testament requires us to give it all. 100 percent is given to God through the way we steward our finances and talents.
Thanks again for your work.
We know now that the original gospels were written in Hebrew (which makes sense since they were Hebrew) and so when we look at Matthew 5:17 the word we see now for law was originally Torah. The Torah is only part of the Tanach as it’s really an abbreviation TNK (Torah, Neviem, Kotvim” (Torah, prophets, and writings).
Yes he is right that our righteousness no longer depends on our ability to uphold the Torah (which means instructions not law) as God knows that not one of us are able to do that. There also does take some deciphering between which parts have been fulfilled (Jesus is our eternal sacrifice) but where the error in this is the accomplished work and that none of it matters for us. If that was the case then why is adultery, homosexuality, and murder still wrong which is all from the Torah and the church still believes.
Secondly, Jesus has fulfilled much of the Torah and prophets but not all. This is why he specifically says until heaven and earth pass which will only happen through Jesus second coming and after all that will come in revelations. Part of this we can only understand through specifically the feasts dictated by God in Leviticus 23 that Paul said are prophetic shadow pictures of what has and is to come. Yes we cannot actually sacrifice or keep these holy days but we should certainly be celebrating and remembering them as it has much to do with how Jesus is and will continue to be the fulfillment of scriptures.
Sadly, as God said in Hosea “my people were destroyed for a lack of knowledge” which is happening right now in the church. We should be ready to give other people an answer for our faith and most believers cannot even begin to describe how Jesus actually fulfilled the scriptures.
I would really caution both sides, those who are legalistic with the Torah and the mainstream church who think the law doesn’t matter at all to really seek Gods heart in this. These feasts and laws he made were really to protect us because he loves us, made us, and knows what’s best for us. I do believe he is asking us to relook at the Torah and prophets and even start celebrating these feasts because it will be part of understanding Jesus return. God bless!
Heaven and earth passed away in 70AD anyway.
" AMEN. "
Good afternoon, may i know what is your explanation on Ephesians 6:1-3, this passages is quoted by those who are holding to decalogue has its third use.
Hi Jackie! Are you talking about Calvin's “third and principal use” of the law is as an instrument to learn God’s will?
Paul is obviously citing the 5th commandment (Exod. 20:12; Deut. 5:16) here, and his instruction is based on the principle of mutual submission he began speaking about in 5:21. (Paul likewise expects that children be treated with respect by their parents (see v. 4).) And he updates the promise that accompanied this commandment in the OT. In the Torah it says, "so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." Paul omits the phrase "your God is giving you" and instead says, "so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life *_on the earth”_* (NIV). (The Greek word behind "earth" is γῆ (gē), which can mean land or earth.) Paul is teaching the _principle_ behind this important Old Covenant commandment and placing it in a New Covenant context. We are still to honor our mother and father.
Blessings, Rob
And you’re stuck with there being NO scripture in the Old Testament backing up Luke 24:46-48.
Yeah, this guy definitely has a skewed picture!
He is quite at ease ... ""Christian ease""
Sanctify means to be set apart, Lets read these verses in context..... For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified (Set apart) by the word of God (Lev 11) and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:4-5 Paul says were to use all Scripture for Doctrine. 2 Tim 3:16
Yes!
All Scripture
Gen. 7-At this time everyone eating plant based, the only qualification was not to eat of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 1:29; 2:16-17)
(Obviously they wouldn’t eat poisonous foods)
Gen. 8-Sacrifice clean animals
Gen. 9-God blesses Noah and sons.
Every living thing that moveth,
Even as the green herb have I given you all things.
v.4 The qualifier to that.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Mosaic law given specifically to Israel and not other nations, to set them apart-quite specific in its classifications in clean/unclean relating to eating. What was abomination to Israel.
To Gentiles-Acts 15, 21
mentioned meat offered to idols (offensive to Jewish believers in this new meshing of Jewish and Gentiles believers), also blood and things strangled.
There are also NT passages that talk about filtering our actions including sometime food in consideration of conscience and faith, those weaker in their faith.
And then the verses you mentioned. Part of the New covenant. Again-pay attention to the wording.
1 Timothy 4:4-6
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. [6] If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
And the context verses before and after of those verses.
1 Timothy 4:1-2,7-9
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
[7] But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. [8] For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. [9] This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
Hope this is edifying in your walk with the Lord and study of the Scriptures.
Rob----if you understood Daniel 9. 24.27 you would not confuse the ceremonial law with the Moral law....the law in Mt.5 17-18 is the 10 commandments -they are permanent.
2 Cor. 3
Heb. 12:18-29
Gal. 4:21-31
I look at Jesus on the cross saying “It is finished” as him referencing “all is accomplished”
He finished his mission of atoning for our sins. All that is written in the law and the prophets *is not yet accomplished.* Many things are prophesied to happen at his second coming and during his millennial reign on the earth.
Interesting ao you make the messiah a liar when he said " I do not come to do away with." Interesting stance to take. JESUS SAID he didn't come to do away with.. yet here we go woth almost every Christian that don't test the word or rarely read it are like oh he did away with it.. just wild to see.
Be careful this young man teaches THAT Matt 22,36,37 was done away with .It,s not for Christian .36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?” 37 Yahushua declared, “‘Love the Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
He is a deceiver .He teaches that obedience is not important anymore .
Matthew 5:18 I believe "Heaven and earth shall not pass away"... is a Hebrew idiom. They understood the Temple to be where Heaven/GOD meets Earth/man. When destroyed in 70ad, Heaven and Earth passed away. YESHUA is the temple that dwells in us, the Temple of the HS, meeting with HIM in our hearts. A more sincere abiding in faith.
Agreed 💯
It is IMPOSSIBLE for the ten commandments to be the law of Moses, mosaic law, or old testament law.
The law of this scripture passage is the ten commandments, not the law of Moses.
Isaiah has not been fulfilled. 66:23.
