Number one thing to remember... IT is The Gospel of The Kingdom of GOD... "...Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come..."(Words in Red) The Witness... says Both are needed... "...Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yehoshua H3091 / G2424(Jesus).
I've been following the new and old testament and walking with Yahshua and the law of God for some 13 years with little difficulty. My testimony is that my understanding of the gospel of Yahshua and the new testament has increased with studying the Law of Moses( law)
Agree 100% Teaching against the law and not keeping it is pure rebellion to our Heavenly Father and rebellion is the same as witchcraft! (1 Samuel 15:23, Hebrews 3:15, 2 Thess 2:3)
Christ fulfilled the Law. We could not (and cannot). Recieve Jesus and His Gift IN FULL or you're telling God he did not Finish what He came to do. And if so, you will not enter in.
@@OLskewL are you saying that those who choose to obey God by keeping his Commandments and his laws cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven? 🤣 who do you think the dragon is coming to make war with in the end days? “Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.” Revelation 12:17 Jesus did come to fulfill the law. As well as the prophets! So if he did away with the law, then Shirley, he did away with the profits as well. The word fulfill is pleroo in the Greek which means to fully do or fully preach. And we can do them. “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:3 Those who claim against keeping God‘s commandments or laws don’t realize that they are teaching to live a life of sin since sin is lawlessness. “Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:4 So in other words, to repent from sin is to turn away from lawlessness and start keeping God‘s commandments.
Our "Torah-observant" friends often put all their "eggs" in the basket of Matt. 5:17-20. And the problem is that the Bible consists of more than just those four verses. So, if we interpret Matt. 5:17-20 as teaching that the entire Law of Moses will be in effect until Heaven and Earth pass away, we then need to explain the 5 biblical examples in this video, which unequivocally show that the Mosaic commands regarding sin atonement, the priesthood, the temple, etc. have all changed in material ways.

made righteous before he went up the mountain. Abraham was made riteous by faith not sacrifice. Others on the planet did not sacrifice and were not Jewish..and went to heaven. Melkisidec was not Jewish.
@@biblethumper1624 Good point, thumper. Seems it's just the one commandment that God specifically said to "Remember" that most Christians are wanting to forget.
Yeah, and they usually concentrate on the 17-19 and don't think about what 20 actually means. "Unless your righteousness is GREATER than the legal experts and the pharisees you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Well, I know that I could never be greater than the legal experts at keeping the law. So what, no one gets in? Only a select few? Then what was the point of Christ?
Then my friend, YOU have a problem. Jeremiah 31: 33, New covenant , same law. The Torah deniers hammer the same empty hermaneutic as well. You say it's no longer binding , it has completely been done away with , aka, destroyed. Making the Messiah a liar when he clearly stated that He didn't come to destroy it, and that Heaven and Earth would pass before the smallest part of the law would. As well, G4137 pleroo, also means cram, level up. The "fulfil" part of the definition is listed under " idiom ". You can figure THAT out, but it's crystal clear to me by the ratio happening in here that most people already know. As well, if it is done away with, which is the fully ended part of your argument, explain Romans 3:31. There is your writer of Galatians stating how we should treat the Law. #1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 4.5: exactly. The Messiah DID completely ATONE for the sins of ALL mankind. I don't do animal sacrifices, and the Levitical priesthood was done away with along with the ONLY place YAHWEH said to do them in 70 AD. I 100 % agree ALL those have been done away with. Just because parts of His law are unable to be kept, doesn't mean we don't keep the rest. Now let's examine YOUR understanding of the scripture and allow people to see how the Messiah showed the Levitical priesthood to be corrupt and rotten, and, how we see today's religious establishment piosoning believers by teaching the 2 Timothy 4:3 doctrine. What were the 2 greatest commandments the Messiah spoke of? Matt 22:36-40. Where are they found? The first is found Deuteronomy 6:5 , second Leviticus 19:18. Both found in the Torah, Yahweh's Law. So what you are telling people is directly against what the Messiah said.
This is such a rich channel, with absolutely great content. I half the time have a notebook and my bible while I listen. May God bless your labor of love.

Concerning the destruction of the temple 2000 years ago, he stated that why would God allow the destruction of the temple if the Mosaic law is still in effect? Will that was not the first time that the temple was destroyed. Solomon's Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and Nebuchadnezzar and the temple was not rebuilt for over 70 years after that. And the Mosaic law was not done away with during that time.
What's interesting is that when that first temple was destroyed and Israel was sent into exile, God specifically told them their exile would last 70 years (Jer 25:9-13) and what they should do while in exile (Jer. 29). But that was not the case with the destruction of the second temple. RLS

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Matthew 19: 16- And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17- And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Galatians 5:18 and 32 no law if we walk after the spirit. It also does not mean don't keep the commandments it's a deeper more intimate way to worship and be obedient to God
The first 13years of my walk with the Lord was spent trying to keep the Law of Moses for my sanctification. This led to a miserable condition of bondage but the Lord set me free walk in newness of life.GALATIANS 5v1. This is me today. The law is to be used lawfully . By the law is the knowledge of sin and is to be preached to the sinners to show their need for the saviour.
So, if all of the Law if Moses was discarded by Jesus, the Word (i.e., Torah, Prophets, Writings, Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation made flesh), then why did Jesus command people He healed to go and do what Moses commanded at the Temple?; why did Paul circumcize Timothy right after the Council at Jerusalem where they decided that new converts should be taught 4 basic commandments from the Torah?; why did Jesus never say one word against the Sabbath but instead reminded people that it's lawful to do good on the Sabbath? Let's say someone suddenly invents a teleportation device costing consumers only $1. Overnight all traffic laws would, indeed, be rendered meaningless ... but that wouldn't necessitate the abolishment of all laws governing other areas of life. Similarly, Jesus' self sacrifice on the cross did render all laws pertaining to the priesthood and animal sacrifice at the Temple obsolete, but that doesn't mean that all laws were so rendered. Indeed, in Hebrews 4 we read about the ongoing necessity of Sabbath-observance, not for salvation but, yes, for both our good and for obedience's sake (i.e., obeying God's behavioral do's and don'ts from a heart of love and humility is always valid, which is why, when Jesus explained who will enter and who will not enter His kingdom, He gave nothing more and nothing less than lists of behaviors, something that the Parable of the Talents also implies). Indeed, the last few chapters of Acts are all about Paul standing up against "false" accusations that, in teaching about Christ, he was simultaneously preaching against the Law. Paul's own behavior showed that he upheld the Law, even 14 years after his conversion and longer. In Matthew 5:17-23 Jesus upholds the Law, emphasizing how none of it shall pass away until after heaven and Earth pass away. I believe He was overstating His point in order to make it clear, just like when He told followers that, in order to follow Him, they would have to eat His flesh and drink His blood. Jesus knew full well that His death and Resurrection would render unnecessary part of the Torah commandments, but ... still, He wanted to make sure that no one would interpret future events as an indication that all of the Law had been done away with. Indeed, a better word selection for the Greek "pleroo" in Matthew 5:17, traditionally translated with the English word "fulfill," is "fully preach," "fully reveal," or "fully make known" ... translations that align much better with the context of the immediate verses, whereas "fulfill" does not fit. Consider: The Torah was the Word that Paul commanded the Bereans to test his teachings against. Lastly, I know that arguments from silence generally are not strong ones, however, it's simply true that in all of the places in the New Testament where one would expect to read words from Paul, Jesus, and others denouncing the Law and teaching a replacement doctrine, we simply do not find them. Again, Paul ended up in Rome ultimately to spread the Gospel, yes, but it all started with him having to stand before various rulers in defending his reputation as a Torah-observant Christian. A good video to watch is 119 Ministries' "Which Law, Paul?" on TH-cam or www.testeverything.net.
Because the law was still in effect until Jesus' death. The law was fulfilled when He said "It is finished" and died. The law was a shadow of the reality to come, which is Jesus. If He finished (fulfilled) the law at the cross, what is the purpose of continuing something that is already completed? Do you think you can improve on what God has finished?
Rom 13:8-9 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
I notice an interesting trend in the comments section of this video. Those "Torah-observant" followers of Jesus who believe we're all supposed to keep the Mosaic rituals are bringing up lots of general arguments. But they're not responding to the 4.5 reasons presented in this video about why we cannot follow the Gospel of Jesus and the Law of Moses at the same time. I would love to hear someone who disagrees actually challenge the arguments presented here. Because if any of these five points is true, then the law of Moses is no longer in effect. -RLS
Did God says the Laws of Moses went away? When God says it then it's TRUE but when some man try to decide what God has already decided then you know its false and nothing but lies.
Have you forgotten that God last forever. So does his ways traditions his words and his laws. They have been here since time started and will stay for along as forever is. You would know that is you know how mighty and great God is. GOD IS BOUND BY NOTHING. GOD DOES WHAT HE PLEASES AND GOD IS RULER OF EVERYTHING. START TREATING GOD LIKE THE GOD HE IS DO WHAT HE SAYS NOT WHAT YOU THINK THATS THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING A LESSON. MAN HAS DONE WHAT THEY WANTED AND HAS PAID FOR IT DEARLY. BUT ITS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT IF YOU FOLLOW EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD THEN YOU ARE BLESSED AND WILL BE PROSPEROUS.
@@Gigi2four then why did jesus say he didnt come to do away with the Law or the prophets but to fufill it. So what makes you think he changes what he spoke to the whole world bc you know he spoke the commandments to the whole world and in the bible is doesn't say anything about God changing any of his commandments or ways.
Please keep reading in Galatians 5! You stopped at the end of verse 2, but in verse 4 Paul clarifies exactly what he was admonishing them about, namely: "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be JUSTIFIED by law(-keeping); you have fallen from grace" by trying to use the Law as a vehicle for salvation. He gives the same warning in much of his writing, including Romans. You have fallen into the error of Dispensationalism. It's not about Law vs. Grace, it's about Law AND/WITH Grace. Jesus said that we must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God; "every" means every. Thank you, brother. This is good for us to 'debate' in love.

@@OneSparrow-76 I think JeffSmith is talking about the “works of the law” as the yoke of slavery (Galatians 3:10). The works of the law are not the Law of Moses, but the law of men. But actually Gentiles who became Christians were instructed as to what portion of the Law they needed to keep along with the moral law, which is universal (Acts 15). For historical purposes, we need to remember that at the beginning of the first century there was no Christian religion, but a branch of Judaism called “The Way” or Netzarim, which was made up of Jews and Gentiles (only later in Acts 11:26 they're called christians for the first time). Because of some Pharisee believers who wanted the Gentiles to keep the entire Torah, the apostles called the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15. Returning to the present day, Jews from the Messianic Judaism keep their culture and the Torah, except for the laws of sacrifice (because Jesus has already completed in perfect form) and others that are fullfilled by the authorities. The Body of Christ will be made up of Jewish believers and Gentile believers in harmony, loving one another as oneself. This is the Church. May God bless you my friend!
(Luke 6:47 [KJV]) Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: (Luke 6:48 [KJV]) He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

The first veil? No! Jesus has entered into the Most Holy Place to appear before God on our behalf. God didn't dwell in the holy Place. He dwelt in the Most Holy. Jesus entered through the second veil to appear in His presence, and is not seated at the right hand of God.

AND- I am finding that asking the Hebrew roots believer certain questions, tells you even more about them. They are making claims that they are “keeping Torah“. So I’ve begun asking them questions directly from the Torah that they claim to keep. They downplay Christians who go to church on Sunday, and claim that they are “keeping Shabbat” while gathering Each Saturday. When I ask them about all the work that they do on Saturday in setting up tables and chairs, cooking lunch, cleaning pots and pans after lunch, sweeping in mopping floors after Shabbat and I mentioned that I believe that is classified as “work“, they don’t answer it. In other words while they say that they are keeping Shabbat, according to Torah, I really don’t believe that they are. And while claiming to eat “biblically clean“, they eat in restaurants that cook pork and shrimp on the same grill that their chicken was cooked on. And they purchase deli meat, such as beef and chicken, but it is cut with the same meat cutter/slicer that the ham is cut on. These are legitimate questions. When I read the Torah, it looks pretty strict about contamination. The big question is this. If you are really claiming to keep Torah, ARE YOU REALLY???
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:35-46 If you're going to critique Torah observant people, then it's fair to critique Christians. With how many professing Christians there are in the US why is there poverty in the US? Also there would be no need for the foster care system if every professing Christian family adopted one child.
@@HannahSkyLaneJesus said that the poor will always be with us. Much of poverty is a mindset, but not of course ALL. Anyone professing to walk with Jesus should help the poor. So many people choose to stay in their situation because the American government takes care of them. In Matthew 7:6 Jesus says to not throw your pearls before swine.
@@Gigi2four my point is why do Christians have the right to tare down and criticize people who want to keep the Torah, when Christianity is lacking as a whole in what Jesus told them to do. Focus on yourself.

Rom 6:13-15 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Rom 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This man is a living example of someone who has fallen afoul of; Isaiah 28:13 - But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
This is who God is speaking to in Isaiah 28: "Priests and prophets stagger from beer and are befuddled with wine; they reel from beer, they stagger when seeing visions, they stumble when rendering decisions. All the tables are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth." ~ Isaiah 28 : 7ff
@@kimartist Are you trying to say that Isaiah 28:9-13 only applies to official priests & prophets of God and not to anyone else? So what, ordinary people are immune from Isaiah's instructions & warning as to how the scriptures must be studied? Really, that makes sense to you?
Maybe read the whole passage. It's about a drunk that can only understand nursery rhymes. Here a little ,there is a little is a mocking poem in Hebrew. Don't believe me, look it up. And read the conclusion. They fall, are broken and snared. Secondly, are you an Adventist?
@@vegacool1 I found one article about the poem. It didn't quote the whole poem but It was an anti-Isaiah article, so no bias in my favour there. Yes, Isaiah does condemn the literal drunkenness of the priests & prophets, and I can believe that Isaiah may have subtly referenced this poem in order to rub the message in - maybe. But if you think that's all there is to it, I don't think it's me that needs to read the whole passage (chapter 28). Firstly, whats the problem with the drunkeness? It results in these people being unable to correctly discern the truth - see v7. Secondly, it's far more serious than just literal drunkenness. They are also deliberate purveyors of lies & falsehood - see v15. Thirdly, Isaiah referring to them as drunks is also condemning of their unclean spiritual state, they are not only physical drunkards they are drunkards spiritually. This is what v8 means when it says; "For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean." (The Bible also uses filthy clothes to indicate spiritual uncleanness.) If you think v13 is only about literal drunkenness and nothing else, how do you explain v9&10? V9 makes the point, that in order to learn knowledge & understand doctrine you have to be a spiritual adult, not a spiritual baby. And v10 explains how you get this knowledge & understanding of doctrine. It says; "FOR", in order to learn knowledge & doctrine, "... precept MUST be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" It's not possible to make v10 about drunkenness, it's clearly about how God/the Bible teaches knowledge & doctrine. As v9 has already said, its about; "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?" Also if v13 is drunkenness then v10 would logically also have to be drunkenness - and that makes zero sense. Why? Because that would mean, that in order to learn knowledge & understand doctrine (v9), God is recommending drunkenness as the best way to go (v10). V13 follows on from v9&10 and states what happens if you don't follow the instructions already given in v9&10. V13 is presented as the opposite of v10 and restates the instruction of v10. V13 is clearly saying, if you don't follow the instructions of v10 you will: " ... fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." In other words you won't learn knowledge & you won't understand doctrine. If you think simplistically, this is just about drunkenness and nothing else, you have not been weaned from the milk, or drawn from the breasts. No, not Adventist, it's much worse. Will elaborate if you so desire. NEXT {You yourself know you can't keep the commandments in thought word or deed.}
Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not; Anyone claiming God changes is calling God a liar. What does Jesus have to say about the law? Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law,or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, til all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. I will believe Jesus, not man.
Yep we are to follow the law but it does not save us. If we have trouble following it it is about not loving God enough. God said in Isiah if you love me you will obey me. Jesus said if you love me you will follow my commandments
@brucepayton6322 notice in math 5:17 Jesus said he" came to fulfill"..and in verse 18 He says " till all is fulfilled"...so my question is do you think christ fulfilled the law? I don't about you but my answer is yes he fulfilled the law....and our salvation is only in having faith in Jesus alone...so we keep the 10 commandments to appreciate the precious gift that He gave us.
The law was added to highlight humanity's need for a Savior and to make people aware of their sinfulness. Before the law, sin was still present in the world, but the law made it explicit and undeniable. Paul explains that the law was given so that "the trespass might increase" (Romans 5:20). This means that the law was designed to expose sin and make people conscious of their need for God's grace. In Galatians, Paul further clarifies that "the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24-25). The law served as a temporary measure to guide people until the coming of Jesus, who fulfilled the law and offered a new way of righteousness through faith. Additionally, the law was never intended to be a means of achieving righteousness. Paul states, "For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law" (Galatians 3:21). Instead, the law pointed out humanity's inability to achieve righteousness on their own, thereby pointing them to the need for a Savior. In summary, the law was added to reveal sin, to act as a guardian until Christ, and to show the impossibility of achieving righteousness through human effort (Romans 3:20, Galatians 3:19).
Have you ever noticed what Revelation 12:17, 14:12 & 20:4 have in common? Its important for believers to understand that God describes these people as the saints! Why is it important? Because in Revelation 20:4 & on we find it's THOSE PEOPLE that raise from the dead & reign with Messiah for 1,000 years! Time for Christians to wake up from their sleep!!!
In find it interesting, that when someone/some group wants to ignore or create a new 'tradition' they always use the terms 'old testament' or 'old covenant'. But, when they want to provide verses to prove (whether valid or not) that they don't have to or need to do these things anymore - then most of the time they say "because Scripture says... ". Well, it didn't take but a couple of minutes for Mr. Solberg to do the 'old junkie testament opposed t the new shiny Scripture' move. Roman's 2:13 I guess would create a great debate about which laws we are to keep. Roman's 2:27 to me seems to shade it more to the keeping of All of God's law - yes except for those that pertain to sacrifices and temple rituals since there is no temple. Plus, doesn't it say in Isaiah or Revelation that when the new heaven and earth are established that all will come to God's holy mountain to offer sacrifices again? How are we to handle Paul's instruction to Timothy that All Scripture is good for reproof and correction?
@glenwillson5073 Sabbath long preceeded "Moses." God began His Sabbath rest on Day 7 & has been resting ever since. See Hebrews 4 to understand why every day is Sabbath for those who believe.
@@kimartist 《Sabbath long preceeded "Moses." God began His Sabbath rest on Day 7 & has been resting ever since. See Hebrews 4 to understand why every day is Sabbath for those who believe.》 You say, "God *began* His Sabbath rest on Day 7" God says, "he *rested* on the seventh day" (Genesis 2:2) God says, "he *had rested* from all his work" (Genesis 2:3) You say, God "has been resting ever since" God says, "My Father works hitherto, and I work" (John 5:17) If you are teaching people to break God's laws, you are a believer of someone but it's certainly not God. Even the very title of this video is a deception & a lie. "Why we cannot follow the Gospel of Jesus AND the Law of Moses at the same time" The law of Moses is the law of God. It's the law God gave to Moses. It's not & never was Moses's law. Therefore an honest title of this video would be; "Why we cannot follow the Gospel of Jesus AND the Law of God at the same time" So it's a choice of follow Jesus or follow God is it? I have some bad news for you. When Jesus returns he intends to enforce, what you deceptively call, the "law of Moses". Now, why would that be do you suppose? Zechariah 14: 16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
@Vincent-gc3cuJesus addressed the Sabbath, he taught us when to worship, how and why. He talked about how the preists profaned the Sabbath and how he was Lord of it. He also said, true worshipers would worship in spirit and truth. Not law. Read Galatians 5 :18 and 23. He said we are the temple! Where 2 or more are gathered in his name he is in the midst. Everyday is the Sabbath as in everyday we keep holy, not just on Saturday. Not only did Jesus fulfill the law, he said we fulfill all of it when we love each other. Again, see galations and almost the whole book of romans. Love is the fulfillment of the law. But should only be done an Saturday, lol. Just kidding. If you only worship on Saturday, what do you do the other 6 days?

The Sabbath was given only to the Jews and was a sign between them and God but you say you have no issue with anyone who wants to observe it as long as it is not for salvation. People can go to church any day of the week but they cannot “keep” or hold holy what God has set aside. We rest in Christ and awake the sabbath rest of God when we die.

Because Amos 3:7 Read the prophets, beginning with Moses at the end of Deut, continue with Hosea, Daniel, Jeremiah . . . God told us all of these things would change. He even told us why. The changes are not a shocking surprise.
I'm so thankful for your channel. I've come to be in fellowship with some Hebrew roots folk and I never would've understood it or known how to have these conversations if it weren't for your videos. Thanks so much 🙏🏼 - Most notably, I've been asked what other of the 10 commandments I'd be willing to compromise on since I don't keep a 7th day sabbath 😥
I am so glad you find our work helpful! What's interesting is that nine of the ten commandments are repeated, endorsed, and taught in the New Testament, but the keeping of the seventh day Sabbath is not. RLS
Hebrews 4 explains that Jesus is our Sabbath rest & that "today" (i.e. every day) is our "rest" from the works of the law. So it's not a matter of "compromise," it's a matter of "entering in" to the finished work of Jesus forever PTL 🙌

Who is Paul or any apostle except that they teach YESHUAS teachings and echo Moses, and the prophets through the eyes and teachings of YESHUA. No apostle had the right to author new teachings or scripture. Only echo what was laid and to testify to all they saw.
Can you explain what is our duties now That we are in the faith of Christ. How do we show our good fruit, sir. And what commandments are not burdensome for us. Thank you before hand. looking forward on hearing about this. God bless
Thanks for posting this and addressing this topic. We recently celebrated Sukkot with a group considered Torah observant. We learned a lot concerning the OT forsure but I did have to remind someone about Galations because of some comments concerning circumcision and participating in passover. After experiencing a conviction, we decided as a family stop doing pagan holidays and birthdays last year. As you stated we have freedom as Christians to observe God's feasts (as they all point to Christ) or to rest on a Sabbath but to operate like your in bondage to the law...gets dangerous it completely dismisses what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did for us.
As Paul preaches, let NO ONE judge you for keeping God's Commandments...and Paul's teachings can be beautifully summarized in the following verse: "Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, BUT WHAT MATTERS IS THE KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD." 1 Corinthians 7:19

Thankful for your ministry and how you are being used. What commandments do we follow? What were the commandments since creation? How is the Law of Christ different? They always argue (If you love me, you will keep my commandments). I have had some HR say, they see the 10 commandments are forever, and are distinct from the Mosaic Laws. Some say we are not in the new covenant, yet still profess Jesus. The other part that could use clarity is so many believe they are from the 10 Lost Tribes or one of the 12. They don’t see the church as a distinct entity. Would love for you to delve into these topics more. 🙏🙌🏻
They don't understand that there are TWO covenants.... (Actually there are more - Noahidic, for example, which obviously doesn't apply to us now other than the promise implied by the rainbow.) 1) MOSAIC COVENANT which Jesus literally & legally fulfilled to make it possible for the: 2) ABRAHAMIC COVENANT to be fulfilled (father of many nations/Gentiles), i.e. now everyone (Jew & Gentile) has access to the Kingdom of heaven by faith (Romans 4 : 16)
If we reread Exodus 26:31-33 and bypass the physical attributes of the Most Holy Place, and understand that people did not obtain the sciences we have now, it’s clear that based on the description, God is talking about the human heart.
Great points raised in your video! I always found it rather puzzling how many pastors and teachers try to balance Malachi chapter 3 with 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 to support their Tithing doctrines. There seems to be a serious disconnect and inconsistency on the subject of giving in particular....and the congregation sits quietly while none raise a hand to question.
I See it also this way: Galatians 3:12 The law is not of faith Romans 14:23 Everything that does not Proceed out of faith is sin So anyone who Puts himself under law is sinning. There is no cherry picking allowed. All of the law and failure and sinning or grace and being dead to the law and dead to sin.
@schnittteisen The law (i.e. Mosaic covenant) was the framework by which Jesus' death became salvatory. It wasn't enough just to kill Jesus, there had to be a legal framework which made His expiation legally binding for all time. The problem the Torahists have is they are focusing on non-salvific portions of law (food & days), patting themselves on the back for it & missing the entire point of Jesus' death. They say their law-keeping activities aren't for salvation, but the ENTIRE POINT of the Mosaic covenant was FOR SALVATION. It's like missing the forest for the trees.
I agree with you, but the sabbath is the fourth commandment an Jesus said if we love him, we'll keep his commandments. I'll keep all ten of his commandments.
Great quick lesson. Wish you would went ahead and gave a short lesson on the sabbath and kosher laws as well. Even though you recently did a wonderful job in the 2 part clean and unclean videos.
I believe for unbelievers the mosaic law is still condemning them but when we come to faith in Christ we die to the law and to sin. We die and are raised with Christ so that’s why the law isn’t abolished we just die to it. To walk in newness of life and The Holy Spirit makes changes within our hearts and teaches us the morality behind the laws and works within us. God bless
Gal_2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
08.26.2023 Thank you again for your teachings Brother Solberg. (I still need to catch your Part 2 interview w/M.Brown, I think his name is.) Anyway, I've posted some of my short time experience w/the HRM folks a few times. I won't post the name of the man they were folllowing; although he does have a channel. Or at least did the time I came upon him & to chat w/others you had to link in w/your email addy/phone# & give a real or made up moniker. It really bothered them, if when you logged on, you didn't sign in publicly or if you signed on as a "guest". Anyway, when I came upon the channel, yes, as you've mentioned ... at 1st I was curious, etc. Oh I couldn't believe that I was celebrating Christmas, a "pagan" holiday to the HRM. I threw out all my Christmas decor & told my family that I no longer observed that particular day (the 25th). One of the things that REALLY irked the "inner circle" of the group was that I was using Jesus' name instead of "Yeshua" or one of several names they used. I felt as I was pressured into changing my moniker from Jesus to Yeshua. Also, at least 2 of them said Paul's letters gave them headaches, as well as calling "Christians" names or having a hatred of them. Oh I could go on & on, but I'll just mention a couple other things. They were really diligent about keeping the Sabbath or Shabat? (Friday nite to Saturday nite) & the Feasts, etc. So I stopped working on Sunday. Although, where I live, there are no HRM temples or people that I could locate; so all of my "interaction" w/them was done online. And I believe a few other members only commun- icated in this way, concerning their faith. Concerning questions. Yes, if anyone came on to chat & asked SIMPLE questions, unless you almost immediately agreed w/the HRM teachings, you'ld be bombarded w/negative comments. 👑JESUS IS LORD!!!👑
The tithe that went to the levitical priest is also not required for Christian’s. Now we give to who we are lead to give by the Holy Spirit. The tithing doctrine today has eased the leaders of the church and burdened the saints. It’s gone far enough.
"Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one-who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith" (Rom. 3:29-30). RLS
Let’s deal with point 1 of the professors’s 4.5. Is Jesus the final sacrifice according to all the Scriptures? No OT prophets, except Moses, were quoted in his teaching. Ask yourself, does any writer of the Bible have more prominence than any other writer? Same Spirit right? So Rob made the case using the NT book of Hebrews. Let’s see what other prophesy is written by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zachariah regarding sacrifices that will occur in the future, which seems to contradict Rob's theology. I will not quote all of the verses, but only parts of them, you can look up the details. Isa 56:7b “…Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” We love to quote that last part without paying attention the other part. Isa 66:23 “And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says the LORD.” Those ordinances require sacrifices. Jer 33:14,17-18 “14 Behold, days are coming,’ declares YHWH…17…David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to prepare sacrifices continually.’” Ezekiel prophesies about the future temple; and yes I said future temple. Ezk 40:39 “…tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering.” Ezk 43:18-19,21,27 “18…These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer burnt offerings on it…19 a young bull for a sin offering….21 You shall also take the bull for the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place…”…27 the priests shall offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,’ declares Adonay YHWH.” Ezk 44:24 ”…They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts and sanctify My sabbaths.” Those all require sacrifices. Zach 14:21a “Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them….” So there you have some meat and not milk to wrestle with the theological view that there are no more future sacrifices. The whole premise of this teaching seems to be false. Be a noble Berean, and search your scriptures for yourself. Stay tuned for point 2.
Hey FlyGuy! So, how do you harmonize those passages with Hebrews 10:18, which says, "there is no longer any offering for sin." Moreover, if you believe there will be a future sacrifice for sin, then what exactly do you think the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross accomplished? RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, I have an opinion for your question, and will give it soon, just busy at the moment. Actually packing tonight for a trip to BNA! No worries I am not coming for a showdown with you. Lol. Shalom
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, you will probably find this response to your questions quite disappointing. Even though I try to follow all of Scripture/Torah the best I can, and agreed not even close to completely or perfectly, I CAN NOT harmonize Heb 10:18 with the prophecies in the OT. I would like to have all the answers for those issues, but I don’t. I am called by Faith to trust and obey/shamar all that has proceeded from the mouth of YHWH, his beloved Son my Savior Yeshua Hamashiach, and the Holy Spirit. There are many more passages in the OT about the continuation of the Law for eternity, than there are in the NT about it supposedly ending, that is just a fact, generally 100+ more. Did YHWH get that wrong? And that is what I believe others need to know about and should not always trust what they have been taught. What is taught are opinions with good intentions, but just man’s theological opinions, and we know how wrong the religious experts were in Yeshua’s day. My opinion of what Yeshua’s crucifixion and blood did was somehow cover all of mankind’s sin in some way. If YHWH wants to start up sacrifices again as recorded in the text, who am I to say He is wrong and misguided. I am but dust. Stay tuned for passages that challenge points 2-4.5 Shabbat shalom.
@@flyguymt Thanks for your transparency, flyguy. I respect that. I'm curious what you do with NT passages you can't harmonize, like Hebrews 10:18. For example, the Torah says, "And this shall be a statute forever (עוֹלָ֗ם) for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year because of all their sins" (Lev 16:34). And Hebrews 10:18 says that, because of the sacrifice of Jesus, "there is no longer any offering for sin." As I see it, there are really only three options for harmonizing these passages: 1. Reject Heb. 10:18 as false. 2. Challenge the plain interpretation of Heb. 10:18. 3. Study the use of the word "forever" (עוֹלָ֗ם, olam) in Lev 16:34. Personally, I have found #3 to be the most biblical option because (a.) it harmonizes the two verses theologically, and (b.) it is consistent with the Tanakh's use of עוֹלָ֗ם (olam) which is often used to refer to a "long duration of undetermined length," such as the length of someone's life, rather than literally "forever." (See: Exod. 14:13, 21:6; Deut 15:17; 1 Sam. 1:22, 2:35, 20:23, 27:12, 28:2, 1 Chron. 28:4). Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, I like option 3 the best also. The word OLAM occurs about 413x in the Masoretic text. When I studied that word originally, I was trying to refute those darn HRMers, I discovered over 100x of the 413, it specifically referred to a situation of a long duration of undermined length. That to me indicated some kind of infinity. That was a major revelation towards accepting the text as written and leaving behind theology that teaches Torah is not in force still. There is definitely a distinction between the Hebrew word OLAM and the word AD and their use. Interesting that you brought up the use of OLAM in 1 Chron 28:4 about King David which again indicates a very long duration of time for his kingship. I say that because HRM theology allows for the Davidic Covenant be fulfilled in the Millennium with King David the prince of Israel providing the animals for all the sacrifices (Ezk 46:12). If there are no more sacrifices that is very difficult to harmonize. On that note, nowhere in the Tanakh does YHWH tell us to harmonize his Torah. His followers are commanded to ob, native born as well as the alien who have joined themselves to YHWH. It could be argued that the religious leaders of Yeshua’s day crucified the Messiah because they couldn’t harmonize the Tanakh with the words Yeshua spoke. It seemed blasphemous to them, just as HRM seems theologically blasphemous to the work of Christ on the cross. Shalom Martin
Hi, Alex! The Torah has not been done away with. It is a part of Holy Scripture. Every Christian Bible begins with the Torah, and it is, therefore, “breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (1 Tim 3:16-17). More than that, the Law of Moses plays an important role in the life of a Christian. It witnesses against our sin (Rom. 7:7), points us to Jesus (Gal. 3:23-25), teaches us about God and the history of His people, offers wisdom and insight, deepens our understanding of the person and work of Christ, and challenges us to love God (Deut. 6:4-5) and love our neighbor (Lev. 19:18). That said, *the Law of Moses is not binding on followers of Jesus as a body of legal requirements of obedience.* This is the consistent witness of the biblical authors across the NT (Acts 15:1-29; Rom. 7:6, 14:1-23; Gal. 3:24-25; Col. 2:16-17, etc.). This doesn't mean that Christians are without a law and can do whatever we want, of course! Jesus and NT authors give us many commands. Christians are absolutely called to live lives of love, service, purity, obedience, and moral virtue (Gal 5:13). Blessings, Rob
@RLSolberg Hi Rob. Thanks for your thorough response. If you say, "the law of Moses is not binding on followers of Jesus as a body of legal requirements of obedience." Why did Jesus, Paul, and all other apostles still keep the law (as seen right across the NT, Acts 15:20-29, 21:20-24, 24:14)? You also said that you can reconcile the OT and NT? But Jesus, Paul, and all the apostles did exactly that. They kept the sabbath, feasts, SACRIFICED, and the ate clean (not kosher). I don't expect an answer this time, I know you only answer once. Shalom to you Alex
@@alexblack6634 Since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. A person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, not by works. Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. If righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
@krisztianpatay9812 Hi Kris. I never and no body does, say that we are saved by our works. Both of us don't murder or commit adultery. If you do that, you are keeping the law because the law of Moses says it. Or else why don't you do it?? Now all that I do extra is keep the feasts, keep the sabbath and eat clean. I am saved by faith.
I agree with a lot of what you say regarding folks in Hebrew roots who think their righteousness is in their works but you then go way overboard and entirely miss what Jesus instructed us to do. The spiritual mechanics in how He saves us is through the very laws you say don’t apply. Jesus said in Matthew 5: 17-20 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. First off the Pharisees judged by the law but they did not do the law them self. Jesus made this hypocrisy an open spectacle. Jesus said the law nor prophets will go away and that he came to fulfill them. When we read those parts of the law concerning ritual cleansing and indeed of sacrifices, it is amazing to see different aspects of what Jesus came to fulfill in our lives by his blood and through his Spirit! For example, there are sacrifices for atonement and sacrifices for peace offerings with Yah. The only way we could ever keep the law, indeed, is only available by being cleansed by his blood & faith that he will change our hearts by the work of his Spirit. I know what you’re saying to yourself right now, whoever said we had to be perfect? Well, Jesus did at the end of the same chapter Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. And we know when we are given a command we are empowered by him to do it! John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Wrought is a metalwork term which means to be beaten out, like his decorative metal is beaten into art. John gives us more detail in 1 John 1:5-10 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 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. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Don’t get hung up on verse 10, keep it in context of the chapter. A lot of people think that we aren’t able to overcome sin. That’s not what this chapter is saying continue reading the whole book of first John and you’ll see, particularly with the very next few verses in chapter 2. In fact, John gives us an image of what being transformed by Christ and his Spirit looks like in 1 John 3:1-10 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. Jesus’ apostle John says that sin is transgression of the law and that if we sin we have not known him (or his power). Because to know him is to experience him working in your life. To remain in him you are unable to sin because he is unable to sin. Following the law becomes his work in you and you walk in his righteousness. Hebrew roots walks by their own righteousness but when I follow God’s moral law it’s his work in me that allows me to do it. His righteousness not mine. This brings us to which parts of the law remain. Acts 15 does a good job, but we shouldn’t think that we’re free from walking in the parts of God’s law that deal with morality. Jesus said all of the law hang on the first wall which is to love God with all your heart mind spirit body soul and I love your neighbor as yourself. When you do the first it causes you to want to live a moral life to be in sync with our Father. When we start to do that he fills us with his love so over and abundant that we love our brother where we never could before on our own. In Galatians and Peter we were told what people who won’t go to heaven look like, eg idolaters, murderers, slanderers, back-biters, etc. For each one of those things there are corresponding Mosaic laws. But when we walk in his Spirit he changes us and allows us to keep his law in perfection!
‘Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us"(Deut. 6:25). It isn't smart to contend that Moses was wrong when he said that, especially when God had him say those words.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 Moses wasn’t wrong! Yahshua didn’t come to destroy law or the prophets but to fulfill them AND they won’t be fulfilled until the end of earth. Can Jews perform ritual washing or sacrifices today? No, God took that away from them and Yahshua is why. Deuteronomy 4:2! Now I hear a lot of Hebrew roots people talk about doing the Torah, and that by doing so they are considered righteous by their working of the law, but they have to pick and choose which Torah laws they follow. Genesis 9:3. If you following the Torah laws concerning not eating certain foods, you ignore Genesis 9:3. This is worse when you judge someone who is not keeping kosher! If you look how Yahshua fulfills large portions of Torah law by Acts 15, for example, 1 John 3:1-10 makes more sense. Because you aren’t saved living in your sin unchecked! He came to destroy the works of the devil and because his Ruach can’t sin you shouldn’t be able to by default if he remains in you always and you in him. Sin is transgression of the law! So I agree that it’s important to study it, which is what Jesus taught in Matthew 5 closing by him commanding us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is (through him)!
I love your videos. They're insightful. I'm curious how you'd address some Torahists who say the commandments given to the Levite priesthood were not part of the Sinai covenant. They say its because the non-Levites weren't allowed to be priests. Atonement was optional. Because of that, the law is still valid. I know Heb. 7 refutes their theology but i want to conclusively refute it using only the Tanakh.
Such great teaching as always ! Thank you so much for all your great work... making a way for believers to find true Freedom and Life in Christ through the Gospel ... !
Thanks, Mark. I'm glad you found us! If you haven't seen it yet, you might find this video helpful: *Five tips for responding to Torah-keeping family and friends* th-cam.com/video/FRKc65y4NLU/w-d-xo.html Blessings, Rob
Properly understood the keeping of the Torah is not bondage it is liberty. A great deal of the NT can't be understood with out the knowledge of the Torah. The feast days are prophetic in nature. The spring feasts, Pass over for example forshadowed the events from the crucifixion through pentecost. The fall feast forshadow the second coming. Understanding this completely changed eschatology. You are completely right, we do not need to sacrifice animals for the attonment of our sins any long. Does that mean it is now lawful to murder? Of course not. The fulfillment of one component of the Torah does not negate the remaining majority of its body! I also understand that a great deal of variety exists in the Torah movement. These differences are no greater than the theological difference within main line Christian denominations.
Our righteousness is like filthy rags Isaiah64:6. Our obedience to God's Holy Law, including the 7th day Sabbath, is just the result of God's righteousness in us.
There is a clear distinction in Scripture between "God's laws" in general, and the specific law that he gave to the nation of Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai. And His Word tells us that the Law of Moses was never intended to last forever (Gal. 23-25). Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots its clear distinction that your teaching the opposite of what the Lord was teaching. It's clear that your teaching the opposite of what moses was teaching. It's clearly your against what Gods says to do and against his way of doing things.
@@TheBiblicalRoots if you cant realize that God last forever and so does his laws and everything that comes with him then there is no more to talk about. You would know that is you read the beginning of the bible. Its everywhere in the bible so theres no excuse for you to say you dont know
@@TheBiblicalRoots the correct way to say this is if your a priest follow the laws that apply to priest and if your a man follow laws that apply to man and woman follow laws that apply to woman. But when it comes to doing something Gods way to be cleansed of sin that applies to everyone because everyone sins. And when he says it's a lasting ordinance its forever like the rainbow and his word. Dont tell me or anyone you dont have to follow the commands of God. Especially if it's to make atonement to God.
Hi, while i agree with what is taught in the video, and it is a fact that the levite priesthood ended, I read today Numbers 25:13 God promises, Pinehas, the grandson of Aaron, that his decendants will have the priesthood eternally/perpetually (Strong H5769 - עוֹלָם עוֹלָם - `olam) for his zeal. How can that be reconciled? Maybe with the priesthood of each christian and its almost certain that some of his decendands became christians? Also he didnt get promised the high priesthood for eternity. Or maybe there is a priest of the same name the son of Eli who brougth wrong fire on the altar, but it isnt explicitly said that this ends the levite priesthood, so personally i would say the first explanation is the better one, as the perpetual priesthood of Pinehas decendands isnt bound to a condition in this passage. 10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”(NKJV)
Mat 5:17-20 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
When the priest went into the temple, Yah spoke only to him the priest. In 1st Corinthians 6:19 tells you that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. So that you don’t need a priest to give you the word of Yah. It’s in your heart. Your a Priest
This is absolutely false. You are clearly confused about the duties of the high priest when he was to perform certain tasks in the Most Holy Place on the Day of Atonement. The Bible teaches in Hebrews that this was a type of the duties that Christ now performs as the High Priest in the heavenly temple. _Christ_ is the High Priest, not the Christian.
Matthew 23:9-12 NKJV Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ
Matthew 5:19-20 So whoever violates even the least important of the commandments, and teaches others to do so, will be called least in heaven's kingdom
I would like to hear your opinion - what exactly is the "Law of Moses" - i.e what laws are included and what are not, and most importantly what is the reason for that statement. I have personally found that there are some important verses that need to be correlated between Gal 3 and Ex 24. There were laws given that were part of the covenant, the people heard these accepted them , then the book of the covenant was sealed, blood was sprinkled and the covenant confirming meal was eaten, that basically seals that agreement. AFTER this, God calls Moses up on the mountain again and gives him the tablets and "the Law" and the commandments to "TEACH THEM". This cannot be part of the covenant, since it cannot be added to as Paul explains in Gal 3. This is the school master part that we are no longer under - and it agrees well with the points you raised here in this vid. However the feasts, Sabbath, 10 commandments have nothing to do with re-conciliation, those are instructions in righteousness, if you chuck these out as part of Moses law, or of ceremonial stuff, you are basically sinning.
Hi Rob, what do you make of Hebrews 8:4 Now if He were on earth, He WOULD NOT be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law. Got Torah Got Truth
Hi, Harry! I see Hebrews 8:4 as talking about how Jesus’ earthly birth into the tribe of Judah would not permit Him to be an earthly priest. So His priestly work wasn't carried out in the physical temple in Jerusalem but rather in the ultimate heavenly sanctuary, on which the earthy sanctuary was patterned. RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Hi Rob, Yehoshua is coming back and when he does the Levi priest system is in effect. Moses was a from the tribe of Levi but wasn’t a priest simply because man can’t be both priest and leader but Yehoshua can be both. The Mosaic Law wasn’t an invention of Moses it proceeded out of the mouth of God. Your followers make all kinds of disparaging comments about the Torah, so their issue isn’t with the Torah keepers, their issue is with God Himself. This is why Hebrews 1:9 states that God hate’s lawlessness just as He hated Esau who despised his birthright. The Torah is the birthright of God’s people. Hebrews 1:6 The angels of God worship Him when He ( Yehoshua ) brings again the firstborn in habitation. The firstborn is Israel who has the double portion ( Messiah and Torah ). The FIRSTBORN, the FIRST RESURRECTION, the FIRST FRUITS are all connected. Got Torah Got Truth
@@harryabrahams2770 Hi, Harry. I agree that the law of Moses was not invented by Moses, he is just the man whom God chose to give His law to Israel! So are you saying that when Jesus comes back, the Levitical priesthood will be reinstated? (Since there is no Levitical priesthood today.) If so, I have a question for you: What will happen to the priesthood that was given to every believer in Jesus? Will our priesthood be stripped away at that point? Or will we become a different class of priests? Please cite Scripture in your answer so we can see where in the Bible this is taught. Thanks! Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Hi Rob, Malachi 2:4 that My covenant may continue with Levi..I’m absolutely sure YHVH keeps His covenants. Vs 1 a commandment for the priests…to listen…take to heart…give honour to His name. To bring dishonour to His name is to tell people that they don’t have to obey His instructions. Vs 7 the duty of the priests..preserve knowledge ( not to teach people to disobey ) and instruct men. Vs 8 Priests should not cause people to stumble by instructing the Law falsely. Got Torah Got Truth
Not according to Jesus. He said that both those "who set aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly" *_and_* those who "practice and teach these commands" will enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt 5:19). Faith in Jesus is what is required to enter His kingdom, because when we place our faith in Jesus, His righteousness is credited to us. Shalom, RLS
@@AdrianaPena-i3k Hi, Adriana! 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). 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). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18). Blessings, Rob
For reason #1, you quote Hebrews 10. Examining the context, it’s referring to Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). Then you have to ask why the author is mentioning Yom Kippur. You have to understand the service of Yom Kippur and its function. Leviticus 16:16 says the purpose of Yom Kippur is to cleanse the Sanctuary of the sins of the people. It’s our sins that defile the Tabernacle/Temple. And if you examine the sacrifices/offerings that involve sin, you see that it serves the same function. Purifying the sanctuary from the sins of the people. Jacob Milgrom does a good job of illustrating this in his books covering the book of Leviticus. But in Numbers 15:30-31, it tells us there is no atonement for willful rebellious sin. The punishment is being cut off from the community, which back then basically meant death. But this is where Jesus comes in. Adam and Eve committed rebellious sin. And according to the law, there is no atonement for that type of sin. And that is why death was brought into the world and we are under mortality. No matter how many times we atone year after year with Yom Kippur, we still die from the rebellious sin done by Adam. But through Jesus, he paid that penalty. He went into the heavenly tabernacle and atoned with his blood. And now we have access to eternal life. This is what the Book of Hebrews is trying to explain. There’s a lot more information but I implore you to study the Book of Hebrews in the context of Yom Kippur. You need to understand Yom Kippur’s function to understand what the author of the Book of Hebrews is trying to portray.
It is so hard for the Jews to understand that truth, and that is because of the veil when the veil is removed, they will understand, and then they will become like the apostle Paul, they will be the most committed preachers all over the word, the end and conclusion of this things will be closer than ever.
I truly love your channel and have learned a lot. I have a very close family member who feels that the moral laws were never replaced by Jesus. Which in a way is true. They feel that the lessons and Galatians doesn’t count towards the moral laws from the Torah and therefore we should still have the Saturday Sabbath, stay away from pork and shrimp etc…, and that we need to continue to practice The Feasts and Festivals. They follow Armstrongism. What do I say to them?
Imagine Jesus celebrating the feast of saturnalia, calling it his birthday, and expecting God to be okay with it! Complete with the tree, mistletoe, chestnuts etc. Roman catholic church invented Xmas! The Christians follow the Catholics Israel tried to worship God with their own traditions and God judged them for it! Idolatry is something Israel struggled with throughout their history. So they understand and recognize idolatry. The Jesus that mainstream Christianity sells through traditions like Xmas is rightly recognized as idolatry by Israel, so I don't blame them for not accepting this Jesus that mainstream Christianity is trying to sell. So somehow Christians expect God to accept their offerings of idolatry, when He wouldn't accept it from the Israelites, ..... because your Catholic/Christian!???
Hi, Debby! Yes, the "laws" of God that define right and wrong were true long before the Law of Moses was given. So when God commands us not to murder today, it’s not because of the Ten Commandments. It’s because of His universal principle against murder. Long before God gave Israel the Law of Moses, Cain was judged for murdering his brother Abel (Gen 4:8-16). Same thing with sexual morality. Under the New Covenant, God doesn’t forbid adultery because of the Ten Commandments. Unfaithfulness and sexual immorality were wrong long before the Law of Moses, as we see, for example, in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18-19). Because mankind was made in God’s image, we have a “compass” of objective morality, so to speak, baked into our human DNA. And under the New Covenant, God's law is written on our hearts. The food laws are not a matter of morality in and of themselves. They are a matter of ceremonial or ritual purity. It is, of course, immoral to disobey God about anything He commands us to do. But eating animals, for example, that were not ritually slaughtered is not a matter of morality on its own. God was just fine with sojourners and foreigners eating those things (Deut 14:21). They were only forbidden for the Israelites. The Bible teaches that the Law of Moses was given at a specific time to specific people for a specific purpose. Much of what was given at Mount Sinai included God's universal "laws" about right and wrong and loving God, which were in effect long before the Law was given. But the purpose of the Law of Moses was not to set a new moral standard. It was to turn a ragtag group of recent slaves into the nation of Israel and set them apart for God. And embedded in those Mosaic laws of ceremony, ritual, distinction, and civil order were shadows that pointed to Christ. And it's _those_ laws that have been fulfilled by Christ and are no longer binding under the New Covenant. 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).

@@TheBiblicalRootsoh I'm flabbergasted, I can't read past this idea you just passed by this woman. That God changed His mind on adultery, that on the new covenant He's alright with it. Yikes!!!!!! GOD HATES ADULTERY PERIOD! You obviously missed the part where Jesus condemns the woman to stoning! At that moment, she was on deaths door! The caveat was there was no one there who could cast the 1st stone. They may have all been guilty of this. Jesus knew something was up, because where was the man that she was caught with! When they all left, He had to let her go because He knew it was Torah to let her go! It says there HAS to be 2 or 3 witnesses! That's Torah! So she got off, BUT He warned her to not sin again. In other words don't be in an adulterous relationship again! Paul gives us a list of the sin that leads to death and adultery IS on it! YOU HAD BETTER STOP WITH ERRONEOUS TEACHING, BECAUSE GOD HOLDS THOSE WHO TEACH FALSLY TO HIGHER STANDARDS! Meaning you will answer for it!
An endless religious focus on what we must do or not do creates a risk of distracting us from the one great thing that God calls us to do; "And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us" - 1 John 3:23. In the end when all is said and done, it is the redemptive work of Christ Jesus that is central to Scripture just as Revelation 5 tells us: "And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: 'You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.' Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: 'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!' And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: 'Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!' Then the four living creatures said, 'Amen!' And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever." - Revelation 5:6-14 The law had one purpose...to be a harsh schoolmaster driving us to our knees to the feet of Jesus in repentance. Those who do not fully trust in the redemptive work of Christ tend to fall under the false belief that their works give evidence of their salvation as if God did not know who were His and who were not. They will focus more on what they have done and less on what Jesus has done and drag others into the legalistic hell they created. Thinking of all the works they did, they will be like those who Jesus spoke of when He said; "On that day many will say to me ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" - Matthew 7:21-23
One more thing I observed, they “elevate”. Almost in a Gnostic type of way. They say they have a faith with the “deeper” things of God, elevating themselves above those who do not follow the Law.
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto THEM: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. HEB 4:2 WHO IS THEM?????
The only problem with this video and the position taken by RL Solberg is that it contradicts the very Words of Jesus Himself and MANY Bible verses (in the New Testament) openly and plainly contradict this idea that we longer have to keep God's Laws. See 1 John 5:3, John 14:15, 1 John 2:4 He who says, I know Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

He gave His life a ransom to redeem us from all sin, to cleanse us, and to purify for Himself His very own chosen people, totally committed to doing good works. [Titus 2:11-14] A powerful quote from James (Jacob) - Regarding Works... You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. [James 2:24] Finally, Jesus said: So if you break (disobey) the smallest Commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s Laws and teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. [Matt5:19]
Hi, QG! 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). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18). Blessings, Rob

@@OLskewL are you saying that those who choose to obey God by keeping his Commandments and his laws cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven? 🤣 who do you think the dragon is coming to make war with in the end days?
“Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.”
Revelation 12:17
Jesus did come to fulfill the law. As well as the prophets! So if he did away with the law, then Shirley, he did away with the profits as well. The word fulfill is pleroo in the Greek which means to fully do or fully preach. And we can do them.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3
Those who claim against keeping God‘s commandments or laws don’t realize that they are teaching to live a life of sin since sin is lawlessness.
“Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.”
1 John 3:4
So in other words, to repent from sin is to turn away from lawlessness and start keeping God‘s commandments.

Our "Torah-observant" friends often put all their "eggs" in the basket of Matt. 5:17-20. And the problem is that the Bible consists of more than just those four verses. So, if we interpret Matt. 5:17-20 as teaching that the entire Law of Moses will be in effect until Heaven and Earth pass away, we then need to explain the 5 biblical examples in this video, which unequivocally show that the Mosaic commands regarding sin atonement, the priesthood, the temple, etc. have all changed in material ways.

@@biblethumper1624 Good point, thumper. Seems it's just the one commandment that God specifically said to "Remember" that most Christians are wanting to forget.
Yeah, and they usually concentrate on the 17-19 and don't think about what 20 actually means. "Unless your righteousness is GREATER than the legal experts and the pharisees you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Well, I know that I could never be greater than the legal experts at keeping the law. So what, no one gets in? Only a select few? Then what was the point of Christ?
Then my friend, YOU have a problem. Jeremiah 31: 33, New covenant , same law.
The Torah deniers hammer the same empty hermaneutic as well.
You say it's no longer binding , it has completely been done away with , aka, destroyed.
Making the Messiah a liar when he clearly stated that He didn't come to destroy it, and that Heaven and Earth would pass before the smallest part of the law would.
As well, G4137 pleroo, also means cram, level up. The "fulfil" part of the definition is listed under " idiom ". You can figure THAT out, but it's crystal clear to me by the ratio happening in here that most people already know.
As well, if it is done away with, which is the fully ended part of your argument, explain Romans 3:31. There is your writer of Galatians stating how we should treat the Law.
#1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 4.5: exactly. The Messiah DID completely ATONE for the sins of ALL mankind. I don't do animal sacrifices, and the Levitical priesthood was done away with along with the ONLY place YAHWEH said to do them in 70 AD. I 100 % agree ALL those have been done away with. Just because parts of His law are unable to be kept, doesn't mean we don't keep the rest.
Now let's examine YOUR understanding of the scripture and allow people to see how the Messiah showed the Levitical priesthood to be corrupt and rotten, and, how we see today's religious establishment piosoning believers by teaching the 2 Timothy 4:3 doctrine.
What were the 2 greatest commandments the Messiah spoke of? Matt 22:36-40.
Where are they found? The first is found Deuteronomy 6:5 , second Leviticus 19:18.
Both found in the Torah, Yahweh's Law.
So what you are telling people is directly against what the Messiah said.

Concerning the destruction of the temple 2000 years ago, he stated that why would God allow the destruction of the temple if the Mosaic law is still in effect? Will that was not the first time that the temple was destroyed. Solomon's Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and Nebuchadnezzar and the temple was not rebuilt for over 70 years after that. And the Mosaic law was not done away with during that time.
What's interesting is that when that first temple was destroyed and Israel was sent into exile, God specifically told them their exile would last 70 years (Jer 25:9-13) and what they should do while in exile (Jer. 29). But that was not the case with the destruction of the second temple.

You yourself know you can't keep the commandments in thought word or deed.
Galatians 5:18 and 32 no law if we walk after the spirit. It also does not mean don't keep the commandments it's a deeper more intimate way to worship and be obedient to God
The first 13years of my walk with the Lord was spent trying to keep the Law of Moses for my sanctification. This led to a miserable condition of bondage but the Lord set me free walk in newness of life.GALATIANS 5v1. This is me today. The law is to be used lawfully . By the law is the knowledge of sin and is to be preached to the sinners to show their need for the saviour.
So, if all of the Law if Moses was discarded by Jesus, the Word (i.e., Torah, Prophets, Writings, Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation made flesh), then why did Jesus command people He healed to go and do what Moses commanded at the Temple?; why did Paul circumcize Timothy right after the Council at Jerusalem where they decided that new converts should be taught 4 basic commandments from the Torah?; why did Jesus never say one word against the Sabbath but instead reminded people that it's lawful to do good on the Sabbath? Let's say someone suddenly invents a teleportation device costing consumers only $1. Overnight all traffic laws would, indeed, be rendered meaningless ... but that wouldn't necessitate the abolishment of all laws governing other areas of life. Similarly, Jesus' self sacrifice on the cross did render all laws pertaining to the priesthood and animal sacrifice at the Temple obsolete, but that doesn't mean that all laws were so rendered. Indeed, in Hebrews 4 we read about the ongoing necessity of Sabbath-observance, not for salvation but, yes, for both our good and for obedience's sake (i.e., obeying God's behavioral do's and don'ts from a heart of love and humility is always valid, which is why, when Jesus explained who will enter and who will not enter His kingdom, He gave nothing more and nothing less than lists of behaviors, something that the Parable of the Talents also implies). Indeed, the last few chapters of Acts are all about Paul standing up against "false" accusations that, in teaching about Christ, he was simultaneously preaching against the Law. Paul's own behavior showed that he upheld the Law, even 14 years after his conversion and longer. In Matthew 5:17-23 Jesus upholds the Law, emphasizing how none of it shall pass away until after heaven and Earth pass away. I believe He was overstating His point in order to make it clear, just like when He told followers that, in order to follow Him, they would have to eat His flesh and drink His blood. Jesus knew full well that His death and Resurrection would render unnecessary part of the Torah commandments, but ... still, He wanted to make sure that no one would interpret future events as an indication that all of the Law had been done away with. Indeed, a better word selection for the Greek "pleroo" in Matthew 5:17, traditionally translated with the English word "fulfill," is "fully preach," "fully reveal," or "fully make known" ... translations that align much better with the context of the immediate verses, whereas "fulfill" does not fit. Consider: The Torah was the Word that Paul commanded the Bereans to test his teachings against. Lastly, I know that arguments from silence generally are not strong ones, however, it's simply true that in all of the places in the New Testament where one would expect to read words from Paul, Jesus, and others denouncing the Law and teaching a replacement doctrine, we simply do not find them. Again, Paul ended up in Rome ultimately to spread the Gospel, yes, but it all started with him having to stand before various rulers in defending his reputation as a Torah-observant Christian. A good video to watch is 119 Ministries' "Which Law, Paul?" on TH-cam or www.testeverything.net.
Because the law was still in effect until Jesus' death. The law was fulfilled when He said "It is finished" and died. The law was a shadow of the reality to come, which is Jesus. If He finished (fulfilled) the law at the cross, what is the purpose of continuing something that is already completed? Do you think you can improve on what God has finished?
Rom 13:8-9 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
I notice an interesting trend in the comments section of this video. Those "Torah-observant" followers of Jesus who believe we're all supposed to keep the Mosaic rituals are bringing up lots of general arguments. But they're not responding to the 4.5 reasons presented in this video about why we cannot follow the Gospel of Jesus and the Law of Moses at the same time. I would love to hear someone who disagrees actually challenge the arguments presented here. Because if any of these five points is true, then the law of Moses is no longer in effect. -RLS
Did God says the Laws of Moses went away? When God says it then it's TRUE but when some man try to decide what God has already decided then you know its false and nothing but lies.
Have you forgotten that God last forever. So does his ways traditions his words and his laws. They have been here since time started and will stay for along as forever is. You would know that is you know how mighty and great God is. GOD IS BOUND BY NOTHING. GOD DOES WHAT HE PLEASES AND GOD IS RULER OF EVERYTHING. START TREATING GOD LIKE THE GOD HE IS DO WHAT HE SAYS NOT WHAT YOU THINK THATS THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING A LESSON. MAN HAS DONE WHAT THEY WANTED AND HAS PAID FOR IT DEARLY. BUT ITS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT IF YOU FOLLOW EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD THEN YOU ARE BLESSED AND WILL BE PROSPEROUS.
It's bad enough to say you know God but everything you said proved that you know nothing of who or what God is.
@@Cos..... if God is bound by nothing and can do as He pleases then that means He can also change the law. Hence the New Covenant
@@Gigi2four then why did jesus say he didnt come to do away with the Law or the prophets but to fufill it.

Please keep reading in Galatians 5! You stopped at the end of verse 2, but in verse 4 Paul clarifies exactly what he was admonishing them about, namely: "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be JUSTIFIED by law(-keeping); you have fallen from grace" by trying to use the Law as a vehicle for salvation. He gives the same warning in much of his writing, including Romans. You have fallen into the error of Dispensationalism. It's not about Law vs. Grace, it's about Law AND/WITH Grace. Jesus said that we must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God; "every" means every. Thank you, brother. This is good for us to 'debate' in love.

@@OneSparrow-76 I think JeffSmith is talking about the “works of the law” as the yoke of slavery (Galatians 3:10). The works of the law are not the Law of Moses, but the law of men. But actually Gentiles who became Christians were instructed as to what portion of the Law they needed to keep along with the moral law, which is universal (Acts 15).
For historical purposes, we need to remember that at the beginning of the first century there was no Christian religion, but a branch of Judaism called “The Way” or Netzarim, which was made up of Jews and Gentiles (only later in Acts 11:26 they're called christians for the first time). Because of some Pharisee believers who wanted the Gentiles to keep the entire Torah, the apostles called the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15.
Returning to the present day, Jews from the Messianic Judaism keep their culture and the Torah, except for the laws of sacrifice (because Jesus has already completed in perfect form) and others that are fullfilled by the authorities.
The Body of Christ will be made up of Jewish believers and Gentile believers in harmony, loving one another as oneself. This is the Church.

The first veil? No! Jesus has entered into the Most Holy Place to appear before God on our behalf. God didn't dwell in the holy Place. He dwelt in the Most Holy. Jesus entered through the second veil to appear in His presence, and is not seated at the right hand of God.
@@toddott633 I agree, that is what the second half of my thought says. The first veil is torn and Jesus sits where the second veil used to be. I probably didn't convey my thought well

Thank you Professor Solberg for another concise video. Those in Torahism insisting that the law/instructions of Moses are still binding can't reconcile that with the Gospel of Christ, and hence teach a false gospel. Keep up your much needed work speaking out against this movement as you are one of very few. You have much support.
They are still binding. "Til heaven and earth pass". But you are not a jew👌
@@tbishop4961not valid for jews either, same is the Lord and same salvation, read galatians
So you say these laws are not binding? So I can commit adultery?
@@alexblack6634 - The Law of Christ is written on our hearts, and every born-again Christian knows that adultery is a sin without it having to be spelled out to them. The Holy Spirit convicts the Christian heart of sin. How many of today’s modern-day sins are not mentioned in the Torah, and if the law of Moses is still binding to you why don’t you stone trangressors of the law? Your Torah centric strawman arguments are tiresome. I have been a part of your cult and it’s devoid of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why do even watch channels and videos refuting your heresy?

AND- I am finding that asking the Hebrew roots believer certain questions, tells you even more about them. They are making claims that they are “keeping Torah“. So I’ve begun asking them questions directly from the Torah that they claim to keep. They downplay Christians who go to church on Sunday, and claim that they are “keeping Shabbat” while gathering Each Saturday. When I ask them about all the work that they do on Saturday in setting up tables and chairs, cooking lunch, cleaning pots and pans after lunch, sweeping in mopping floors after Shabbat and I mentioned that I believe that is classified as “work“, they don’t answer it. In other words while they say that they are keeping Shabbat, according to Torah, I really don’t believe that they are. And while claiming to eat “biblically clean“, they eat in restaurants that cook pork and shrimp on the same grill that their chicken was cooked on. And they purchase deli meat, such as beef and chicken, but it is cut with the same meat cutter/slicer that the ham is cut on. These are legitimate questions. When I read the Torah, it looks pretty strict about contamination. The big question is this. If you are really claiming to keep Torah, ARE YOU REALLY???
Why do you feel entitled to critique their behaviors? Do they do that to you? Or does it just irk you that they don't do things the way you do them?
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:35-46
If you're going to critique Torah observant people, then it's fair to critique Christians. With how many professing Christians there are in the US why is there poverty in the US?
Also there would be no need for the foster care system if every professing Christian family adopted one child.
@@HannahSkyLaneJesus said that the poor will always be with us. Much of poverty is a mindset, but not of course ALL. Anyone professing to walk with Jesus should help the poor. So many people choose to stay in their situation because the American government takes care of them. In Matthew 7:6 Jesus says to not throw your pearls before swine.
@@Gigi2four my point is why do Christians have the right to tare down and criticize people who want to keep the Torah, when Christianity is lacking as a whole in what Jesus told them to do.
Focus on yourself.

No. He’s only logically questioning their claim that they follow the Torah, and yet they don’t. It’s a legitimate question to inquire why some group of people claim to be living X yet all they do is Y.
Rom 6:13-15 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
Rom 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This man is a living example of someone who has fallen afoul of;
Isaiah 28:13 - But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Thank you I needed to read this.
This is who God is speaking to in Isaiah 28:
"Priests and prophets stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,
they stumble when rendering decisions.
All the tables are covered with vomit
and there is not a spot without filth."
~ Isaiah 28 : 7ff
@@kimartist Are you trying to say that Isaiah 28:9-13 only applies to official priests & prophets of God and not to anyone else?
So what, ordinary people are immune from Isaiah's instructions & warning as to how the scriptures must be studied? Really, that makes sense to you?
Maybe read the whole passage. It's about a drunk that can only understand nursery rhymes.
Here a little ,there is a little is a mocking poem in Hebrew. Don't believe me, look it up. And read the conclusion. They fall, are broken and snared.
Secondly, are you an Adventist?
@@vegacool1
I found one article about the poem. It didn't quote the whole poem but It was an anti-Isaiah article, so no bias in my favour there.
Yes, Isaiah does condemn the literal drunkenness of the priests & prophets, and I can believe that Isaiah may have subtly referenced this poem in order to rub the message in - maybe.
But if you think that's all there is to it, I don't think it's me that needs to read the whole passage (chapter 28).
Firstly, whats the problem with the drunkeness?
It results in these people being unable to correctly discern the truth - see v7.
Secondly, it's far more serious than just literal drunkenness.
They are also deliberate purveyors of lies & falsehood - see v15.
Thirdly, Isaiah referring to them as drunks is also condemning of their unclean spiritual state, they are not only physical drunkards they are drunkards spiritually.
This is what v8 means when it says; "For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."
(The Bible also uses filthy clothes to indicate spiritual uncleanness.)
If you think v13 is only about literal drunkenness and nothing else, how do you explain v9&10?
V9 makes the point, that in order to learn knowledge & understand doctrine you have to be a spiritual adult, not a spiritual baby.
And v10 explains how you get this knowledge & understanding of doctrine.
It says; "FOR", in order to learn knowledge & doctrine, "... precept MUST be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"
It's not possible to make v10 about drunkenness, it's clearly about how God/the Bible teaches knowledge & doctrine.
As v9 has already said, its about;
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?"
Also if v13 is drunkenness then v10 would logically also have to be drunkenness - and that makes zero sense.
Why?
Because that would mean, that in order to learn knowledge & understand doctrine (v9), God is recommending drunkenness as the best way to go (v10).
V13 follows on from v9&10 and states what happens if you don't follow the instructions already given in v9&10.
V13 is presented as the opposite of v10 and restates the instruction of v10.
V13 is clearly saying, if you don't follow the instructions of v10 you will: " ... fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."
In other words you won't learn knowledge & you won't understand doctrine.
If you think simplistically, this is just about drunkenness and nothing else, you have not been weaned from the milk, or drawn from the breasts.
No, not Adventist, it's much worse. Will elaborate if you so desire.

What does Jesus have to say about the law? Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law,or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, til all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

@@jamilankusisarah657the same who gave the 10 commandements gave the other law.

God Bless you. You are doing The Lord’s work. ❤
The law was added to highlight humanity's need for a Savior and to make people aware of their sinfulness. Before the law, sin was still present in the world, but the law made it explicit and undeniable. Paul explains that the law was given so that "the trespass might increase" (Romans 5:20). This means that the law was designed to expose sin and make people conscious of their need for God's grace.
In Galatians, Paul further clarifies that "the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24-25). The law served as a temporary measure to guide people until the coming of Jesus, who fulfilled the law and offered a new way of righteousness through faith.
Additionally, the law was never intended to be a means of achieving righteousness. Paul states, "For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law" (Galatians 3:21). Instead, the law pointed out humanity's inability to achieve righteousness on their own, thereby pointing them to the need for a Savior.
In summary, the law was added to reveal sin, to act as a guardian until Christ, and to show the impossibility of achieving righteousness through human effort (Romans 3:20, Galatians 3:19).

The whole bible points to Jesus. No one said throw out the rest of the bible, just the opposite.
In find it interesting, that when someone/some group wants to ignore or create a new 'tradition' they always use the terms 'old testament' or 'old covenant'. But, when they want to provide verses to prove (whether valid or not) that they don't have to or need to do these things anymore - then most of the time they say "because Scripture says... ".
Well, it didn't take but a couple of minutes for Mr. Solberg to do the 'old junkie testament opposed t the new shiny Scripture' move.
Roman's 2:13 I guess would create a great debate about which laws we are to keep. Roman's 2:27 to me seems to shade it more to the keeping of All of God's law - yes except for those that pertain to sacrifices and temple rituals since there is no temple. Plus, doesn't it say in Isaiah or Revelation that when the new heaven and earth are established that all will come to God's holy mountain to offer sacrifices again?
How are we to handle Paul's instruction to Timothy that All Scripture is good for reproof and correction?
So keeping the Sabbath is a "law of Moses" but the rest of the 10 Commandments are not?

The law of Moses is the law of God. It's the law God gave to Moses. It's not & never was Moses's law.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
@Vincent-gc3cuJesus addressed the Sabbath, he taught us when to worship, how and why. He talked about how the preists profaned the Sabbath and how he was Lord of it. He also said, true worshipers would worship in spirit and truth. Not law. Read Galatians 5 :18 and 23. He said we are the temple! Where 2 or more are gathered in his name he is in the midst. Everyday is the Sabbath as in everyday we keep holy, not just on Saturday. Not only did Jesus fulfill the law, he said we fulfill all of it when we love each other. Again, see galations and almost the whole book of romans. Love is the fulfillment of the law. But should only be done an Saturday, lol. Just kidding. If you only worship on Saturday, what do you do the other 6 days?

I’ve been watching your videos on the Sabbath and I’m a bit confused. The Sabbath was given only to the Jews and was a sign between them and God but you say you have no issue with anyone who wants to observe it as long as it is not for salvation. People can go to church any day of the week but they cannot “keep” or hold holy what God has set aside. We rest in Christ and awake the sabbath rest of God when we die. Please help me understand how you can hold to the end of the law (meaning everything has been fulfilled and set aside) and yet the observance of the Sabbath of one chooses. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this and addressing this topic. We recently celebrated Sukkot with a group considered Torah observant.

As you stated we have freedom as Christians to observe God's feasts (as they all point to Christ) or to rest on a Sabbath but to operate like your in bondage to the law...gets dangerous it completely dismisses what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did for us.

Thankful for your ministry and how you are being used. What commandments do we follow? What were the commandments since creation? How is the Law of Christ different? They always argue (If you love me, you will keep my commandments). I have had some HR say, they see the 10 commandments are forever, and are distinct from the Mosaic Laws. Some say we are not in the new covenant, yet still profess Jesus. The other part that could use clarity is so many believe they are from the 10 Lost Tribes or one of the 12. They don’t see the church as a distinct entity. Would love for you to delve into these topics more. 🙏🙌🏻
They don't understand that there are TWO covenants....
(Actually there are more - Noahidic, for example, which obviously doesn't apply to us now other than the promise implied by the rainbow.)
1) MOSAIC COVENANT which Jesus literally & legally fulfilled to make it possible for the:
2) ABRAHAMIC COVENANT to be fulfilled (father of many nations/Gentiles), i.e. now everyone (Jew & Gentile) has access to the Kingdom of heaven by faith (Romans 4 : 16)
If we reread Exodus 26:31-33 and bypass the physical attributes of the Most Holy Place, and understand that people did not obtain the sciences we have now, it’s clear that based on the description, God is talking about the human heart.
Great points raised in your video!
I always found it rather puzzling how many pastors and teachers try to balance Malachi chapter 3 with 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 to support their Tithing doctrines.
There seems to be a serious disconnect and inconsistency on the subject of giving in particular....and the congregation sits quietly while none raise a hand to question.
I See it also this way:
Galatians 3:12
The law is not of faith
Romans 14:23
Everything that does not Proceed out of faith is sin
So anyone who Puts himself under law is sinning. There is no cherry picking allowed. All of the law and failure and sinning or grace and being dead to the law and dead to sin.
@schnittteisen The law (i.e. Mosaic covenant) was the framework by which Jesus' death became salvatory. It wasn't enough just to kill Jesus, there had to be a legal framework which made His expiation legally binding for all time. The problem the Torahists have is they are focusing on non-salvific portions of law (food & days), patting themselves on the back for it & missing the entire point of Jesus' death. They say their law-keeping activities aren't for salvation, but the ENTIRE POINT of the Mosaic covenant was FOR SALVATION. It's like missing the forest for the trees.
I agree with you, but the sabbath is the fourth commandment an Jesus said if we love him, we'll keep his commandments. I'll keep all ten of his commandments.

Great quick lesson. Wish you would went ahead and gave a short lesson on the sabbath and kosher laws as well. Even though you recently did a wonderful job in the 2 part clean and unclean videos.
I believe for unbelievers the mosaic law is still condemning them but when we come to faith in Christ we die to the law and to sin. We die and are raised with Christ so that’s why the law isn’t abolished we just die to it. To walk in newness of life and The Holy Spirit makes changes within our hearts and teaches us the morality behind the laws and works within us. God bless
And that’s also why Christ does not “fail” the Deuteronomy 13 test as some say.
Great point!
Gal_2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Thank you again for your teachings Brother Solberg. (I still need to catch your Part 2 interview w/M.Brown, I think his name is.)
Anyway, I've posted some of my short time experience w/the HRM folks a few times. I won't post the name of the man they were folllowing; although he does have a channel.
Or at least did the time I came upon him & to chat w/others you had to link in w/your email addy/phone# & give a real or made up moniker. It really bothered them, if when you logged on, you didn't sign in publicly or if you signed on as a "guest".
Anyway, when I came upon the channel, yes, as you've mentioned ... at 1st I was curious, etc. Oh I couldn't believe that I was celebrating Christmas, a "pagan" holiday to the HRM. I threw out all my Christmas decor & told my family that I no longer observed that particular day (the 25th).
One of the things that REALLY irked the "inner circle" of the group was that I was using Jesus' name instead of "Yeshua" or one of several names they used. I felt as I was pressured into changing my moniker from Jesus to Yeshua.
Also, at least 2 of them said Paul's letters gave them headaches, as well as calling "Christians" names or having a hatred of them.
Oh I could go on & on, but I'll just mention a couple other things.
They were really diligent about keeping the Sabbath or Shabat? (Friday nite to Saturday nite) & the Feasts, etc. So I stopped working on Sunday.
Although, where I live, there are no HRM temples or people that I could locate; so all of my "interaction" w/them was done online. And I believe a few other members only commun-
icated in this way, concerning their faith.
Concerning questions. Yes, if anyone came on to chat & asked SIMPLE questions, unless you almost immediately agreed w/the HRM teachings, you'ld be bombarded w/negative comments.
👑JESUS IS LORD!!!👑
The tithe that went to the levitical priest is also not required for Christian’s. Now we give to who we are lead to give by the Holy Spirit. The tithing doctrine today has eased the leaders of the church and burdened the saints. It’s gone far enough.
Rob, who is the God of the Gentile, and who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
"Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one-who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith" (Rom. 3:29-30).
RLS
@RLSolberg I ask you a direct question: Please name the God of the Gentiles and the God of the Jews by name? If you can.
Messianic believers keep Shabbat and the the 10 commandments which is consistent with following Jesus..
Let’s deal with point 1 of the professors’s 4.5. Is Jesus the final sacrifice according to all the Scriptures? No OT prophets, except Moses, were quoted in his teaching. Ask yourself, does any writer of the Bible have more prominence than any other writer? Same Spirit right? So Rob made the case using the NT book of Hebrews. Let’s see what other prophesy is written by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zachariah regarding sacrifices that will occur in the future, which seems to contradict Rob's theology. I will not quote all of the verses, but only parts of them, you can look up the details.
Isa 56:7b “…Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar;
For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” We love to quote that last part without paying attention the other part. Isa 66:23 “And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says the LORD.” Those ordinances require sacrifices. Jer 33:14,17-18 “14 Behold, days are coming,’ declares YHWH…17…David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to prepare sacrifices continually.’” Ezekiel prophesies about the future temple; and yes I said future temple. Ezk 40:39 “…tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering.” Ezk 43:18-19,21,27 “18…These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer burnt offerings on it…19 a young bull for a sin offering….21 You shall also take the bull for the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place…”…27 the priests shall offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,’ declares Adonay YHWH.” Ezk 44:24 ”…They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts and sanctify My sabbaths.” Those all require sacrifices. Zach 14:21a “Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them….”
So there you have some meat and not milk to wrestle with the theological view that there are no more future sacrifices. The whole premise of this teaching seems to be false. Be a noble Berean, and search your scriptures for yourself. Stay tuned for point 2.
Hey FlyGuy! So, how do you harmonize those passages with Hebrews 10:18, which says, "there is no longer any offering for sin." Moreover, if you believe there will be a future sacrifice for sin, then what exactly do you think the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross accomplished?
RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, I have an opinion for your question, and will give it soon, just busy at the moment. Actually packing tonight for a trip to BNA! No worries I am not coming for a showdown with you. Lol. Shalom
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, you will probably find this response to your questions quite disappointing. Even though I try to follow all of Scripture/Torah the best I can, and agreed not even close to completely or perfectly, I CAN NOT harmonize Heb 10:18 with the prophecies in the OT. I would like to have all the answers for those issues, but I don’t. I am called by Faith to trust and obey/shamar all that has proceeded from the mouth of YHWH, his beloved Son my Savior Yeshua Hamashiach, and the Holy Spirit. There are many more passages in the OT about the continuation of the Law for eternity, than there are in the NT about it supposedly ending, that is just a fact, generally 100+ more. Did YHWH get that wrong? And that is what I believe others need to know about and should not always trust what they have been taught. What is taught are opinions with good intentions, but just man’s theological opinions, and we know how wrong the religious experts were in Yeshua’s day.
My opinion of what Yeshua’s crucifixion and blood did was somehow cover all of mankind’s sin in some way. If YHWH wants to start up sacrifices again as recorded in the text, who am I to say He is wrong and misguided. I am but dust. Stay tuned for passages that challenge points 2-4.5
Shabbat shalom.
@@flyguymt Thanks for your transparency, flyguy. I respect that.
I'm curious what you do with NT passages you can't harmonize, like Hebrews 10:18. For example, the Torah says, "And this shall be a statute forever (עוֹלָ֗ם) for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year because of all their sins" (Lev 16:34). And Hebrews 10:18 says that, because of the sacrifice of Jesus, "there is no longer any offering for sin."
As I see it, there are really only three options for harmonizing these passages:
1. Reject Heb. 10:18 as false.
2. Challenge the plain interpretation of Heb. 10:18.
3. Study the use of the word "forever" (עוֹלָ֗ם, olam) in Lev 16:34.
Personally, I have found #3 to be the most biblical option because (a.) it harmonizes the two verses theologically, and (b.) it is consistent with the Tanakh's use of עוֹלָ֗ם (olam) which is often used to refer to a "long duration of undetermined length," such as the length of someone's life, rather than literally "forever." (See: Exod. 14:13, 21:6; Deut 15:17; 1 Sam. 1:22, 2:35, 20:23, 27:12, 28:2, 1 Chron. 28:4).
Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, I like option 3 the best also. The word OLAM occurs about 413x in the Masoretic text. When I studied that word originally, I was trying to refute those darn HRMers, I discovered over 100x of the 413, it specifically referred to a situation of a long duration of undermined length. That to me indicated some kind of infinity. That was a major revelation towards accepting the text as written and leaving behind theology that teaches Torah is not in force still. There is definitely a distinction between the Hebrew word OLAM and the word AD and their use. Interesting that you brought up the use of OLAM in 1 Chron 28:4 about King David which again indicates a very long duration of time for his kingship. I say that because HRM theology allows for the Davidic Covenant be fulfilled in the Millennium with King David the prince of Israel providing the animals for all the sacrifices (Ezk 46:12). If there are no more sacrifices that is very difficult to harmonize. On that note,
nowhere in the Tanakh does YHWH tell us to harmonize his Torah. His followers are commanded to ob, native born as well as the alien who have joined themselves to YHWH. It could be argued that the religious leaders of Yeshua’s day crucified the Messiah because they couldn’t harmonize the Tanakh with the words Yeshua spoke. It seemed blasphemous to them, just as HRM seems theologically blasphemous to the work of Christ on the cross. Shalom Martin
I thank you sir for your teaching I thank God for chosen the person like you to teachers the truth
Hello! Praise JAH! Psalm 68:4 KJV and his name alone is the most high Psalm 83:18 KJV
Rob I would like to know, when did the law(Torah) end?
When he died?
When Jesus rose from the dead?
When He went to heaven?
Hi, Alex! The Torah has not been done away with. It is a part of Holy Scripture. Every Christian Bible begins with the Torah, and it is, therefore, “breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (1 Tim 3:16-17). More than that, the Law of Moses plays an important role in the life of a Christian. It witnesses against our sin (Rom. 7:7), points us to Jesus (Gal. 3:23-25), teaches us about God and the history of His people, offers wisdom and insight, deepens our understanding of the person and work of Christ, and challenges us to love God (Deut. 6:4-5) and love our neighbor (Lev. 19:18).
That said, *the Law of Moses is not binding on followers of Jesus as a body of legal requirements of obedience.* This is the consistent witness of the biblical authors across the NT (Acts 15:1-29; Rom. 7:6, 14:1-23; Gal. 3:24-25; Col. 2:16-17, etc.). This doesn't mean that Christians are without a law and can do whatever we want, of course! Jesus and NT authors give us many commands. Christians are absolutely called to live lives of love, service, purity, obedience, and moral virtue (Gal 5:13).
Blessings, Rob
@RLSolberg
Hi Rob.
Thanks for your thorough response.
If you say, "the law of Moses is not binding on followers of Jesus as a body of legal requirements of obedience." Why did Jesus, Paul, and all other apostles still keep the law (as seen right across the NT, Acts 15:20-29, 21:20-24, 24:14)?
You also said that you can reconcile the OT and NT? But Jesus, Paul, and all the apostles did exactly that. They kept the sabbath, feasts, SACRIFICED, and the ate clean (not kosher).
I don't expect an answer this time, I know you only answer once.
Shalom to you
Alex
@@alexblack6634
Since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
A person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, not by works.
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
If righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
@krisztianpatay9812
Hi Kris.
I never and no body does, say that we are saved by our works.
Both of us don't murder or commit adultery. If you do that, you are keeping the law because the law of Moses says it.
Or else why don't you do it??
Now all that I do extra is keep the feasts, keep the sabbath and eat clean. I am saved by faith.
Then what did Jesus mean when he said not one jot or tittle will pass away from the law till heaven and earth pass away?
Until all is fulfilled. The law was not abolished but fulfilled in Jesus, hence his statement “it is finished” on the cross.
I agree with a lot of what you say regarding folks in Hebrew roots who think their righteousness is in their works but you then go way overboard and entirely miss what Jesus instructed us to do. The spiritual mechanics in how He saves us is through the very laws you say don’t apply. Jesus said in Matthew 5: 17-20 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
First off the Pharisees judged by the law but they did not do the law them self. Jesus made this hypocrisy an open spectacle. Jesus said the law nor prophets will go away and that he came to fulfill them. When we read those parts of the law concerning ritual cleansing and indeed of sacrifices, it is amazing to see different aspects of what Jesus came to fulfill in our lives by his blood and through his Spirit! For example, there are sacrifices for atonement and sacrifices for peace offerings with Yah. The only way we could ever keep the law, indeed, is only available by being cleansed by his blood & faith that he will change our hearts by the work of his Spirit. I know what you’re saying to yourself right now, whoever said we had to be perfect? Well, Jesus did at the end of the same chapter Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
And we know when we are given a command we are empowered by him to do it! John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Wrought is a metalwork term which means to be beaten out, like his decorative metal is beaten into art. John gives us more detail in 1 John 1:5-10 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 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. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Don’t get hung up on verse 10, keep it in context of the chapter. A lot of people think that we aren’t able to overcome sin. That’s not what this chapter is saying continue reading the whole book of first John and you’ll see, particularly with the very next few verses in chapter 2. In fact, John gives us an image of what being transformed by Christ and his Spirit looks like in 1 John 3:1-10 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Jesus’ apostle John says that sin is transgression of the law and that if we sin we have not known him (or his power). Because to know him is to experience him working in your life. To remain in him you are unable to sin because he is unable to sin. Following the law becomes his work in you and you walk in his righteousness. Hebrew roots walks by their own righteousness but when I follow God’s moral law it’s his work in me that allows me to do it. His righteousness not mine.
This brings us to which parts of the law remain. Acts 15 does a good job, but we shouldn’t think that we’re free from walking in the parts of God’s law that deal with morality. Jesus said all of the law hang on the first wall which is to love God with all your heart mind spirit body soul and I love your neighbor as yourself. When you do the first it causes you to want to live a moral life to be in sync with our Father. When we start to do that he fills us with his love so over and abundant that we love our brother where we never could before on our own. In Galatians and Peter we were told what people who won’t go to heaven look like, eg idolaters, murderers, slanderers, back-biters, etc. For each one of those things there are corresponding Mosaic laws. But when we walk in his Spirit he changes us and allows us to keep his law in perfection!
‘Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us"(Deut. 6:25). It isn't smart to contend that Moses was wrong when he said that, especially when God had him say those words.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 Moses wasn’t wrong! Yahshua didn’t come to destroy law or the prophets but to fulfill them AND they won’t be fulfilled until the end of earth. Can Jews perform ritual washing or sacrifices today? No, God took that away from them and Yahshua is why. Deuteronomy 4:2! Now I hear a lot of Hebrew roots people talk about doing the Torah, and that by doing so they are considered righteous by their working of the law, but they have to pick and choose which Torah laws they follow. Genesis 9:3. If you following the Torah laws concerning not eating certain foods, you ignore Genesis 9:3. This is worse when you judge someone who is not keeping kosher! If you look how Yahshua fulfills large portions of Torah law by Acts 15, for example, 1 John 3:1-10 makes more sense. Because you aren’t saved living in your sin unchecked! He came to destroy the works of the devil and because his Ruach can’t sin you shouldn’t be able to by default if he remains in you always and you in him. Sin is transgression of the law! So I agree that it’s important to study it, which is what Jesus taught in Matthew 5 closing by him commanding us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is (through him)!
What are your thoughts on Isaiah 56:6-7
I love your videos. They're insightful. I'm curious how you'd address some Torahists who say the commandments given to the Levite priesthood were not part of the Sinai covenant. They say its because the non-Levites weren't allowed to be priests. Atonement was optional. Because of that, the law is still valid. I know Heb. 7 refutes their theology but i want to conclusively refute it using only the Tanakh.
4:51 The Temple of God WAS rebuilt! In 3 days! The priesthood are believers in Jesus & the sacrifices are our worship & reasonable service.
Best explanation I have ever heard. Thank you!
Such great teaching as always ! Thank you so much for all your great work... making a way for believers to find true Freedom and Life in Christ through the Gospel ... !

Properly understood the keeping of the Torah is not bondage it is liberty.
A great deal of the NT can't be understood with out the knowledge of the Torah.
The feast days are prophetic in nature. The spring feasts, Pass over for example forshadowed the events from the crucifixion through pentecost.
The fall feast forshadow the second coming.
Understanding this completely changed eschatology.
You are completely right, we do not need to sacrifice animals for the attonment of our sins any long. Does that mean it is now lawful to murder? Of course not.
The fulfillment of one component of the Torah does not negate the remaining majority of its body!
I also understand that a great deal of variety exists in the Torah movement. These differences are no greater than the theological difference within main line Christian denominations.
Our righteousness is like filthy rags Isaiah64:6. Our obedience to God's Holy Law, including the 7th day Sabbath, is just the result of God's righteousness in us.
God is forever Gods love is forever what makes you think that his laws aren't either?
There is a clear distinction in Scripture between "God's laws" in general, and the specific law that he gave to the nation of Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai. And His Word tells us that the Law of Moses was never intended to last forever (Gal. 23-25).
Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots its clear distinction that your teaching the opposite of what the Lord was teaching. It's clear that your teaching the opposite of what moses was teaching. It's clearly your against what Gods says to do and against his way of doing things.
@@TheBiblicalRoots if you cant realize that God last forever and so does his laws and everything that comes with him then there is no more to talk about. You would know that is you read the beginning of the bible. Its everywhere in the bible so theres no excuse for you to say you dont know
@@TheBiblicalRoots the correct way to say this is if your a priest follow the laws that apply to priest and if your a man follow laws that apply to man and woman follow laws that apply to woman.

And when he says it's a lasting ordinance its forever like the rainbow and his word. Dont tell me or anyone you dont have to follow the commands of God. Especially if it's to make atonement to God.
Matthew 19:16-17
Hi, while i agree with what is taught in the video, and it is a fact that the levite priesthood ended, I read today Numbers 25:13 God promises, Pinehas, the grandson of Aaron, that his decendants will have the priesthood eternally/perpetually (Strong H5769 - עוֹלָם עוֹלָם - `olam) for his zeal. How can that be reconciled? Maybe with the priesthood of each christian and its almost certain that some of his decendands became christians? Also he didnt get promised the high priesthood for eternity. Or maybe there is a priest of the same name the son of Eli who brougth wrong fire on the altar, but it isnt explicitly said that this ends the levite priesthood, so personally i would say the first explanation is the better one, as the perpetual priesthood of Pinehas decendands isnt bound to a condition in this passage.
10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”(NKJV)
Mat 5:17-20 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
It says in Ezekiel that a temple will be rebuilt and the Messiah(the prince) will bring offerings on its alter. Please read Ezekiel.
When the priest went into the temple, Yah spoke only to him the priest. In 1st Corinthians 6:19 tells you that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. So that you don’t need a priest to give you the word of Yah. It’s in your heart. Your a Priest
This is absolutely false. You are clearly confused about the duties of the high priest when he was to perform certain tasks in the Most Holy Place on the Day of Atonement. The Bible teaches in Hebrews that this was a type of the duties that Christ now performs as the High Priest in the heavenly temple. _Christ_ is the High Priest, not the Christian.
Matthew 23:9-12 NKJV
Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ
Have you ever read the law of Yah?
Matthew 5:19-20
So whoever violates even the least important of the commandments, and teaches others to do so, will be called least in heaven's kingdom
curious if you've delved into Paul Within Judaism, and if so what your thoughts are?
I would like to hear your opinion - what exactly is the "Law of Moses" - i.e what laws are included and what are not, and most importantly what is the reason for that statement. I have personally found that there are some important verses that need to be correlated between Gal 3 and Ex 24. There were laws given that were part of the covenant, the people heard these accepted them , then the book of the covenant was sealed, blood was sprinkled and the covenant confirming meal was eaten, that basically seals that agreement. AFTER this, God calls Moses up on the mountain again and gives him the tablets and "the Law" and the commandments to "TEACH THEM". This cannot be part of the covenant, since it cannot be added to as Paul explains in Gal 3. This is the school master part that we are no longer under - and it agrees well with the points you raised here in this vid. However the feasts, Sabbath, 10 commandments have nothing to do with re-conciliation, those are instructions in righteousness, if you chuck these out as part of Moses law, or of ceremonial stuff, you are basically sinning.
Hi Rob, what do you make of Hebrews 8:4 Now if He were on earth, He WOULD NOT be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law. Got Torah Got Truth
Hi, Harry! I see Hebrews 8:4 as talking about how Jesus’ earthly birth into the tribe of Judah would not permit Him to be an earthly priest. So His priestly work wasn't carried out in the physical temple in Jerusalem but rather in the ultimate heavenly sanctuary, on which the earthy sanctuary was patterned.

@@TheBiblicalRoots Hi Rob, Yehoshua is coming back and when he does the Levi
priest system is in effect. Moses was a from the tribe of Levi but wasn’t a priest simply because man can’t be both priest and leader but Yehoshua can be both. The Mosaic Law wasn’t an invention of Moses it proceeded out of the mouth of God. Your followers make all kinds of disparaging comments about the Torah, so their issue isn’t with the Torah keepers, their issue is with God Himself. This is why Hebrews 1:9 states that God hate’s lawlessness just as He hated Esau who despised his birthright. The Torah is the birthright of God’s people. Hebrews 1:6 The angels of God worship Him when He ( Yehoshua ) brings again the firstborn in habitation. The firstborn is Israel who has the double portion ( Messiah and Torah ). The FIRSTBORN, the FIRST RESURRECTION, the FIRST FRUITS are all connected. Got Torah Got Truth
@@harryabrahams2770 Hi, Harry. I agree that the law of Moses was not invented by Moses, he is just the man whom God chose to give His law to Israel! So are you saying that when Jesus comes back, the Levitical priesthood will be reinstated? (Since there is no Levitical priesthood today.) If so, I have a question for you: What will happen to the priesthood that was given to every believer in Jesus? Will our priesthood be stripped away at that point? Or will we become a different class of priests? Please cite Scripture in your answer so we can see where in the Bible this is taught.

Faith in Jesus is what is required to enter His kingdom, because when we place our faith in Jesus, His righteousness is credited to us.
Shalom, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots so you're okay with being least in the kingdom? Because your teachings are setting aside the commandments of God.
@@AdrianaPena-i3k Hi, Adriana! 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).
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). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18).
Blessings,

For reason #1, you quote Hebrews 10. Examining the context, it’s referring to Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). Then you have to ask why the author is mentioning Yom Kippur. You have to understand the service of Yom Kippur and its function.
Leviticus 16:16 says the purpose of Yom Kippur is to cleanse the Sanctuary of the sins of the people. It’s our sins that defile the Tabernacle/Temple.
And if you examine the sacrifices/offerings that involve sin, you see that it serves the same function. Purifying the sanctuary from the sins of the people. Jacob Milgrom does a good job of illustrating this in his books covering the book of Leviticus.
But in Numbers 15:30-31, it tells us there is no atonement for willful rebellious sin. The punishment is being cut off from the community, which back then basically meant death. But this is where Jesus comes in.
Adam and Eve committed rebellious sin. And according to the law, there is no atonement for that type of sin. And that is why death was brought into the world and we are under mortality. No matter how many times we atone year after year with Yom Kippur, we still die from the rebellious sin done by Adam.
But through Jesus, he paid that penalty. He went into the heavenly tabernacle and atoned with his blood. And now we have access to eternal life. This is what the Book of Hebrews is trying to explain. There’s a lot more information but I implore you to study the Book of Hebrews in the context of Yom Kippur. You need to understand Yom Kippur’s function to understand what the author of the Book of Hebrews is trying to portray.
Amen
It is so hard for the Jews to understand that truth, and that is because of the veil when the veil is removed, they will understand, and then they will become like the apostle Paul, they will be the most committed preachers all over the word, the end and conclusion of this things will be closer than ever.
The Jews are not going to accept the new testament Jesus, who eats bacon and goes to church on Sunday!
What a privilege to be God's temple!
Beautiful, thank you
I truly love your channel and have learned a lot. I have a very close family member who feels that the moral laws were never replaced by Jesus. Which in a way is true. They feel that the lessons and Galatians doesn’t count towards the moral laws from the Torah and therefore we should still have the Saturday Sabbath, stay away from pork and shrimp etc…, and that we need to continue to practice The Feasts and Festivals. They follow Armstrongism. What do I say to them?
Imagine Jesus celebrating the feast of saturnalia, calling it his birthday, and expecting God to be okay with it!
Complete with the tree, mistletoe, chestnuts etc.
Roman catholic church invented Xmas!
The Christians follow the Catholics
Israel tried to worship God with their own traditions and God judged them for it!
Idolatry is something Israel struggled with throughout their history.
So they understand and recognize idolatry.
The Jesus that mainstream Christianity sells through traditions like Xmas is rightly recognized as idolatry by Israel, so I don't blame them for not accepting this Jesus that mainstream Christianity is trying to sell.
So somehow Christians expect God to accept their offerings of idolatry, when He wouldn't accept it from the Israelites, ..... because your Catholic/Christian!???
@@qw2ps4 is this a response to my message? I don’t understand how it answers it. Please explain. Thank you,
Hi, Debby! Yes, the "laws" of God that define right and wrong were true long before the Law of Moses was given. So when God commands us not to murder today, it’s not because of the Ten Commandments. It’s because of His universal principle against murder. Long before God gave Israel the Law of Moses, Cain was judged for murdering his brother Abel (Gen 4:8-16). Same thing with sexual morality. Under the New Covenant, God doesn’t forbid adultery because of the Ten Commandments. Unfaithfulness and sexual immorality were wrong long before the Law of Moses, as we see, for example, in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18-19). Because mankind was made in God’s image, we have a “compass” of objective morality, so to speak, baked into our human DNA. And under the New Covenant, God's law is written on our hearts.
The food laws are not a matter of morality in and of themselves. They are a matter of ceremonial or ritual purity. It is, of course, immoral to disobey God about anything He commands us to do. But eating animals, for example, that were not ritually slaughtered is not a matter of morality on its own. God was just fine with sojourners and foreigners eating those things (Deut 14:21). They were only forbidden for the Israelites.
The Bible teaches that the Law of Moses was given at a specific time to specific people for a specific purpose. Much of what was given at Mount Sinai included God's universal "laws" about right and wrong and loving God, which were in effect long before the Law was given. But the purpose of the Law of Moses was not to set a new moral standard. It was to turn a ragtag group of recent slaves into the nation of Israel and set them apart for God. And embedded in those Mosaic laws of ceremony, ritual, distinction, and civil order were shadows that pointed to Christ. And it's _those_ laws that have been fulfilled by Christ and are no longer binding under the New Covenant.
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).

@@TheBiblicalRoots Thank you for breaking it down for me! Truly appreciate it. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. 😊
@@TheBiblicalRootsoh I'm flabbergasted, I can't read past this idea you just passed by this woman. That God changed His mind on adultery, that on the new covenant He's alright with it.
Yikes!!!!!!
GOD HATES ADULTERY PERIOD!
You obviously missed the part where Jesus condemns the woman to stoning!
At that moment, she was on deaths door!
The caveat was there was no one there who could cast the 1st stone. They may have all been guilty of this.
Jesus knew something was up, because where was the man that she was caught with!
When they all left, He had to let her go because He knew it was Torah to let her go!
It says there HAS to be 2 or 3 witnesses! That's Torah!
So she got off, BUT He warned her to not sin again. In other words don't be in an adulterous relationship again!
Paul gives us a list of the sin that leads to death and adultery IS on it!
YOU HAD BETTER STOP WITH ERRONEOUS TEACHING, BECAUSE GOD HOLDS THOSE WHO TEACH FALSLY TO HIGHER STANDARDS!
Meaning you will answer for it!
Very good! Thank you
Thank you for your videos, it helps me explain to folks what I believe, keep up the good work!😊
An endless religious focus on what we must do or not do creates a risk of distracting us from the one great thing that God calls us to do; "And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us" - 1 John 3:23. In the end when all is said and done, it is the redemptive work of Christ Jesus that is central to Scripture just as Revelation 5 tells us:
"And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying:
'You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.'
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice:
'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!'
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
'Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!'
Then the four living creatures said, 'Amen!' And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever." - Revelation 5:6-14
The law had one purpose...to be a harsh schoolmaster driving us to our knees to the feet of Jesus in repentance. Those who do not fully trust in the redemptive work of Christ tend to fall under the false belief that their works give evidence of their salvation as if God did not know who were His and who were not. They will focus more on what they have done and less on what Jesus has done and drag others into the legalistic hell they created. Thinking of all the works they did, they will be like those who Jesus spoke of when He said; "On that day many will say to me ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" - Matthew 7:21-23
One more thing I observed, they “elevate”. Almost in a Gnostic type of way. They say they have a faith with the “deeper” things of God, elevating themselves above those who do not follow the Law.
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto THEM: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. HEB 4:2 WHO IS THEM?????
The Torah is absolutely wonderful ❤
The only problem with this video and the position taken by RL Solberg is that it contradicts the very Words of Jesus Himself and MANY Bible verses (in the New Testament) openly and plainly contradict this idea that we longer have to keep God's Laws. See 1 John 5:3, John 14:15, 1 John 2:4 He who says, I know Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Luke 6:46, 1John 3:4 , John 8:11, Matt 5:48, Matt 22:36-38, Mark 12:28-30, Luke 10:25-28, Rev 12:17, Rev 14:12, 2 Peter 3:16-18, Deut 8:3, Matt 4:4. Paul also made sure that no one misunderstood him. Paul wrote: Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the Law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! [Rom 6:15 NLT] Another powerful verse from Paul: For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing Salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from Godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, as we await the Blessed Hope and glorious appearance of our Great God and Savior Jesus the Messiah. He gave His life a ransom to redeem us from all sin, to cleanse us, and to purify for Himself His very own chosen people, totally committed to doing good works. [Titus 2:11-14] A powerful quote from James (Jacob) - Regarding Works... You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. [James 2:24] Finally, Jesus said: So if you break (disobey) the smallest Commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s Laws and teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. [Matt5:19]
