Please pray for my Hebrew roots friend and her husband if you can! The Lord has been speaking to me 4 days in a row, very specifically that He wants me to talk to my friend about this. I’m not sure how to start the conversation or if I should just see how she leads the conversation and then reply as she speaks? He has spoken the word “quagmire”, spoken Galatians 3:3 (which brought me to this channel when I researched the chapter), and then gave me a dream of a timer running out when I asked him for sure if I should speak to her about this. How did you first become aware that you were headed in the wrong direction? I’ve been praying for her for about 6 months at least and have also read so far all the way from genesis to judges preparing for this. I don’t want to be too over the top but also want to be blunt. Feeling like Gideon here. 😅
First and foremost, I love the way you teach. Because of God using you, IU finally understand Galatians 421-31. I want to get better at understanding Torahism because I contend the faith against Hebrew Israelites. May the Lord bless you and keep you
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (NLT): 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
So crazy I’ve literally heard people from the HRM say the scales have fallen from their eyes and they see the Bible in a whole new way by following the old covenant. Praying for them that Jesus will be their horizon.
"But their minds were closed. For until the present day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. Since the veil is not removed, it is clear that only in Christ is it taken away." ~ 2 Corinthians 3:14
Hi Rob, I'm so thankful for your ministry brother! I really appreciate your humble systematic biblical approach. You make it so easy to navigate through the scripture with you. I tried emailing you again to no avail, I've contacted you before. I was wanting some more info from you if you have the time? Bless ya heaps! Al.
Im not hebrew roots but reading the first passage, this sounds more like putting the emphasis on Jesus and his grace. That we cant be saved thru works but thru jesus kinda saying. This doesn't conclude that we shouldn't try and follow gods law but just that it isn't what saves us in end. 🤔
Sadly this is not completely true, as the lecture opens from a faulty standpoint: the law of Yah, written in stones, is not Moses law. This is very clear in the Bible: the stones were placed inside the ark and were later the heart of the temple. But the law of Moses, the Torah, was not placed inside the ark, but besides the ark! Super important difference. Now in the new covenant the law of Yah is written on the heart of the believer, not on stones, and we are the living temple now. These are better promises, a better covenant, so the old fades away -> not needed anymore. Old -> priests inheriting sin, animal sacrifices and temple worship. New -> Christ fulfills these terms in a better way. It is super clear in the New Testament that Christ taught the ten commandments. Also I don't fault anyone wanting to make a memorial of the old, yearly feasts. It can be a blessed experience to learn how Christ fulfilled them and how they pointed to Him, were shadows. I agree about the old covenant, but the ten commandments are not the law of Moses. Of course we should still not kill nor hate.. It is not so difficult ;) blessings P.s. by the way, not corrupting the temple with unclean animals still counts. We are the living temple, we should eat clean and not unclean (clean, healthy meat. Not pig or dog or so). This is obviously still true. Why would you not want to eat healthy? Blessings to all and you!
Hey, Minister Chris! I don't have any speaking engagements scheduled for Dallas the moment, but my wife & I might be out that way later this year playing music at a couple prisons. Blessings, Rob
THE ONLY VEIL is that the second veil was torn. In the TABERNACLE eas the ark of the covenant with all 10 WERE placed in there. He caused the oblation to cease and the outer veil was torn YOU NEED to read how the tabernacle was built

When my wife first got into this cult and it looked like she was willing to shipwrecked the whole family over it, and she would be arguing with me about all this stuff. I would always bring this verse that says when the law was formed 3000 people died when the spirit came 3000 peoplegot saved. Even though we don’t have no marriage, considering what we used to have we both I guess agreed to just live together and the other thing about this stuff is Hebrew. People are making a killer because all the stuff she does is really expensive if I don’t keep a real tight watch on it and I’m working two jobs , so people in this religion really don’t care about the other people really sad because they come in and just like steal people away and change your whole heart. It’s really devastating but thank you. I always love listening to you. Really you know it gets my heart settled back on Christ and not just back on my trials.
Well, I pray for this brother‘s wife that you open her eyes change her heart help her. The truth is in Jesus Christ not in the law she’s being deceived. She can’t see it. She can’t open her own eyes father you have to do it. She can’t in Jesus name amen
Behold, the ministry of death. Exodus 31:14 “Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3], holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.“ (NASB) Exodus 35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.“ (NASB) Numbers 15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]. 33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (NASB) Galatians 4:21 Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the Law? (NASB) Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away [Revelation 21], not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!“ (NASB) 2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministry of death, engraved in letters on stones, came with glory so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? (NASB) 2 Corinthians 3:12 Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and we are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face [Exodus 34] so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away [Hebrews 8]. 14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ [Hebrews 7:11-12; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4; Luke 5:36-39]. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; (NASB) The one who has ears, let him hear.
You have only presented unbiblical nonsense exposing you total Biblical illiteracy and your spiritually dead and blind state. Anyone keeping a weekly sabbath is Gods enemy, they are the accursed of God, and will all with 100% certainty cast into the lake of fire. Repent!
@@exposingfakechristianity5556 It looks like Pierre posted what he did in support of Rob's teaching & as a warning to Torahists? What is unbiblical about it?
This brother's interpretation about Old Covenant is not entirely correct? He seemed to imply that it being done away at the Cross. His interpretation contradict what Jesus and Paul stated in Matt 5:17-19 and Roman 13:9. True interpretation is there in the scripture.
Thank you Brother! I fully believe we are under a New Covenant. Question: Are the sons and daughters of Israel still under the law? At least until they accept Jeshua? Question: There are multiple times in Leviticus and Numbers that G-d mentions, referring to the Law, that he gave ordnances to the children of Israel, the Levites and the Aaronic priests as being forever, and lasting throughout all generations. What answer can we give in response to this as it pertains to the New Covenant superseding the Mosaic Covenant? By the way, I loved it when you said the Old Covenant bears witness to the New Covenant. And the contrast of death vs the Spirit. The fading of the Glory on Moses' face, and the veil. Very powerful, and needs much meditation to unpack its full value! Bless you! Gary
Fascinating. First, I hadn't considered that passage before as a possible refutation of Torahism. Excellent. Second, just as a rhetorical device, compare-&-contrast is one of my favorites & I love whenever I find them in Scripture (prime ex. opening passages of Hebrews). Good work as always, Rob, thank you. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Meaty teachings are unfortunately few & far between.
When was the Messiah conceived but during Hanukkah it is close to Xmas which is cool. You add 9 months on the Jewish calendar , It is Tishri. The closest Festaval is Tabernacles. I found in Valery Moodys Book The Feast of Adonia. She has all the Feast and Festavals and how we can do them. Not hard to understand. I'm especially love Sukkot Tabernacles because we celebrate Yeshuas birthday on the first day. Then on the 8th day Jesus is circumcised. I'm been keeping this 15 years now. I always put up a Sukkah in the yard. My husband and I both enjoy this time of year. It does teach us we are practicing living with Jesus in the Sukkah . We decorated it with Star of davids and pomegranates and fruit. Not like balls on the tree but fruit. Makes since. Then we put palm branches over the top of the Sukkah leaving room to see the stars .While we lay in our beds looking up remembering the star that leads to Jesus . Shalom talk later
I think part of the challenge here is that - Jew's, Christian, Hebrew Roots may think it is an either or proposition. Why is it not both; faith/belief and obeying the Law? Matt. 19:16- the rich man asks what he must DO to have eternal life. Jesus does not respond by calling him a legalistic dolt, saying you can't work your way to eternal life. No, Jesus says keep the commandments and then starts listing them. On the other end of the spectrum, Jesus didn't say 'just believe in me', that's it (John 3:16). That's all that is required. Again, No. Scripture is working in concert Matt. 19:16- , John 3:16, keep the commands and believe. Then we have John 5:45 where Jesus says "Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses". Well what is Moses going to accuse us with if the Law is done away with. Judaism has the Law and Christianity has faith/belief/Jesus - I say we need both.
Pls explain how in Jeremiah 31:33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
In my Bible, there are additional teachings by James, Peter, John, Jude, and the author of Hebrews. They are probably in your Bible, too. "But the Lord [Jesus] said to him [Ananias], "Go, for he [Paul] is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel." - Acts 9:15 ESV "Truly, truly, I [Jesus] say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me." - John 13:20 ESV
I like this because this point also is handy for dealing with Adventists which make big claims regarding the finger of God written on tablets of stone. They try to make a false claim that it is eternal compared to the rest of the Mosaic law, because it went inside the Ark of the Covenant etc.
Explain why the 10 commandments were written in stone by GOD himself, and placed INSIDE the ark of the covenant, and the rest of Moses laws were written in a book. ??? Why was this?
@@astutik8909 lol I will do you one better than that. This whole Canard has been thoroughly debunked by Answering Adventism on a number of points. 1) The entire law of Moses was copied down on the parchment at least once, probably twice because it was given a second just before the death of Moses. Meaning the 10 commandments were not just on stone but also on parchment, 2) in the book of Joshua it mentions "The Law" (entire covenant) likewise was put on Stone somewhere in the very early chapters (maybe chapter 2). 3) there is another one I'm forgetting but will research if this conversation continues, the 4th point ending is the best the whole Ceremonial law vs. 10 commandments ark of the Covenant analogy false apart when you realize its ultimate implications. If such an artificial distinction were real it would imply that Children of Israel were not to teach morality to their Children!!! But this is obviously not right. The law contained more than just Ceremonial laws but actually gave more instruction on how to carry out the Decalogue. This is a point that even Adventist theologians once in a blue moon will point out in a few Adventist magazines like Review and Herald.
@@astutik8909 I found the original link and am giving it so that you might be blessed and come to the knowledge of the True Faith. It should have all the exact scriptures to the points mentioned but also at least one more I forgot. Blessings. th-cam.com/video/NYJf4GKgEhI/w-d-xo.html
May I recommended a book by David H.J. Gay? It's called "Chist is All - No Sanctification By the Law" He affirms what Rob says but using all the relevant Scripture passages.
@TheBiblicalRoots i found this valuable in a way you probably did not intend. The issue i've been grappling with is not the Torah Roots teachings but very common evangelical teaching that to be saved one must FIRST "repent of all their sins". This seems more enslaving than the Mosaic Law because that had all the requirements clearly listed and provided forgiveness of sin thru sacrifice. What are your thoughts on that? Can you do a teaching to resolve the problem of "apparent allowance of a sinful life" for those who believe in Christ and are "Saved by Grace thru Faith"? i mean, these preachers insist that even before we receive the Holy Spirit we much reach sinless perfection, at the same time teaching that only Jesus was able to accomplish that. seems like "catch 22".
Hi Leroy! Yeah that's a really important issue. If we need to reach some sort of "sinless perfection" before we can receive the Holy Spirit, then we're all doomed! Repentance is certainly important. Jesus preached "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near" (Matt. 3:2, 4:17) and "Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15). But the NT teaches, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: *While we were still sinners,* Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). We discuss the very issue you brought up in this video: *6 Big Problems if Our Works Save Us* th-cam.com/video/sCQrboiZxK0/w-d-xo.html Blessings, Rob
In Acts, the first Gentile converts were never told to repent. Repentance is a change of mind. The Jews needed a change of mind about who Jesus was because they had the law and should have recognized Him as the Messiah. Gentiles didn't need to change their minds about Christ because they didn't have the law and the promises. Another thing to note about the first Gentile converts is that they received the Holy Spirit BEFORE they were baptized! The Gospel of John says he writes so that we know the truth and that we know we have eternal life. He never mentions repentance as a requirement for salvation.
@@TheBiblicalRootsAlso, the Bible never once mentions repentance of sin for salvation. (Turning from sin.) How would that even be possible for someone to turn from sin before having the gift of the Holy Spirit? Some say you have to be willing to turn from sin but that is never mentioned either.
The problem is, no amount of Biblical truth given to those who God has blinded and rejected (the Hebrew roots/jews) will mean nor change a thing. They will only reject the truth and go right back to their wallowing in the mire.
@@LukeCh.10verse16-mb8om Ikr sadly seems like the ones who come out embraced it enthusiastically at first - new & exciting! - & then saw red flags along the way 🚩😮🚩😮🚩😮 I've not yet heard of any teachers who've come out, have you?
Hi, Anonymom! If you're referring to Galatians 5:1, Paul is talking about the law of Moses. That verse comes at the very end of Paul's analogy of Sarah and Hagar (Gal. 4:21-31), in which he uses an allegory to compare Hagar ("the slave woman") to the Old Covenant law, which he says bears children for slavery (4:24). And then he says, "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery" (Gal. 5:1). Here's a video we recently did on this exact passage if you're interested: *Sarah, Hagar & Torah Keeping* th-cam.com/video/1NGtuSCgx_8/w-d-xo.html Blessings, Rob
Hi Graft Me. There are two things I bring up when people want to marginalize or reject Paul. First, Jesus said this about the Apostle Paul: “This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel” (Acts 9:15). And Jesus said, “Whoever receives the one I send receives me” (John 13:20). So, to reject Paul is to reject Jesus who sent him. Second, if we accept the parts of the Bible we agree with and reject the parts we don't, it's not the Bible we believe but ourselves. Blessings, Rob
The Jewish people, wondering in the desert for 40 years proves that the laws will not save us because our free will traditionally overrides our blind obedience to written laws. How many times were the Jewish people exiled or punished for their disobedience? Countless. God knew that man was incapable of blind obedience, so salvation is only through the birth & death of his son. Our blind faith and relience in Jesus Christ, combined with repentance for our transgressions will lead us to full redemption & eternal life with the Father. Np matter how hard you try, you alone following written law, will never succeed, otherwise Christ taking human form was pointless.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 "Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! For Elohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil." This means ALL COMMANDS for ALL MANKIND. Isaiah 24:1,3-4,6 "See, יהוה is making the earth empty and making it waste, and shall overturn its surface, and shall scatter abroad its inhabitants. ... the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for יהוה has spoken this word. The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish. ... Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left." Why? Isaiah 24:5 "For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot, changed the law, broken the everlasting covenant."
Hi, Kevin! 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, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Have to give response in bits as its too much for YT going back to Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, does that include an expiration date? if so, does that means "You shall sleep with mother" also ended 2000 years ago? There's also that bit about "all mankind", so you think that excludes ppl in future? So basically we cannot trust what a verse literally says as it may or may not apply to the reader or your understanding of what Paul wrote is wrong. If we were not to follow the old covenant, you would have thought the Messiah would have said something that important. This new covenant is about writing the law into your heart. what law would that be if its not Torah? All these questions I pose are rhetorical. They don't need an answer, BUT you better get your p's and q's in order when you stand before that throne of judgement hoping that Paul will back you up. He did follow Torah through his letters. He went to congregations on sabbath, he observed the major feasts. He even followed Nazarene regulations. Is that the behavior of someone who rejected old testament?
@@TheBiblicalRoots Here is a based Circular Logic you may not heard of : Messiah said in John 14: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life" and also in John 17 "Your Word is truth” and one more time in John 18 "Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Psalms 119 has three phrases: "Your Torah is truth" "all Your commands are truth" "sum of Your word is truth". Also says "all Your righteous right-rulings are forever". But not to you evidentially. Word is truth, commands are truth, who is the Truth? Go back to Psalms 119, "Blessed are the perfect in the way, Who walks in the Torah of יהוה" The Way is Torah, who is the Way? Side link: "Perfect in the Way". Paul uses that word several times, one practically in Colossians 1 "in order to present every man perfect in Messiah" Perfect in the Way, Perfect in Torah, perfect in Messiah. Proverbs 13 "Torah of the wise is a fountain of life" Torah is fountain of Life, who is Life? Fountains represent water. where does one go to for water and never thirst again? John 4 mentions the water Messiah gives "shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” This reminds me of that part of the Law written in our hearts. And then wrapping up, go to John 1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. This signifies that our Messiah was there from the beginning as He did create all things, the Son did, but look at that last phrase: "the Word was Elohim". Usually the Work represents the Law. Few verses later "And the Word became flesh" Word became a human, The Law, the Torah became a man. Linking back to John 14, the Messiah is stating that He is the walking breathing Torah, that gives the living water springing up into everlasting life. So if Messiah represent Torah and you say that does not pertain to what you believe, that means that He does not represent what you believe. If you don't follow Torah, you don't follow Him. He says if you love me, keep my commands. What are those commandments if its not Torah? You probably never heard about how those all reference each other before.
@@TheBiblicalRoots Who do you think gave Moses the Law on that mountain? it was Messiah! not His Father. So if He didn't want us to follow those commandments, He would have said something Himself. You better hope that forever does not include right now and all mankind does not pertain to you. Have you not studied that all believers of Messiah are joined into Israel, we make up the missing tribes spiritually. No longer gentiles. Are now heirs on Abraham. So if the Covenant is for only those of Israel, that also includes today's believers. Maybe I should have led with that from start.
@@kevinkall8547 Hi Kevin. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 does not contain a commandment. That book was written by Solomon to the Jewish people for self-reflection and to record wisdom. 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 adultery. Unfaithfulness and sexual immorality were wrong long before the Law of Moses, as we see, for example, in the story of Joseph fleeing Potiphar’s wife (Gen 39:12-18). 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 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. Shalom, Rob
Yes, the old covenant is gone with the renewal of the new covenant. But the Torah never passed. The Torah governs the renewed covenant as it did with the old covenant. Paul says in Hebrews 7:12 that with the Priesthood being CHANGED, there comes a necessity of a change of the Torah law. Not a disappearance of Torah law but a change of it. The Torah had a sacrifice, a circumcision, and a Priesthood under the old covenant. Those were animal blood sacrifice, circumcision of flesh, and the Cohen family as High Priests. When the new covenant came at Calvary ( it was a renewed covenant made with better promises and not a new covenant) there was a change in Torah. Not a disappearance of Torah. For the renewed covenant also has a sacrifice, circumcision, and a Priesthood. The sacrifice is now the blood of Jesus at Calvary. The circumcision is now one of the heart where Torah is written and Jesus is the High Priest after the order of the Melek Zedek or Melchizedek. Psalms 110:4. But TORAH IS ROCK SOLID with the renewed covenant. This includes the dietary laws and the Feasts of the Lord which are prophesies of the Father's salvation through His Son. Isaiah 66:17 is proof that the dietary laws would never disappear. And Zechariah 14:16 says the Feasts will never disappear before the new heaven and earth comes in Revelation chapter 21. And didn't Jesus mention He will not drink the elements of the Passover until it's renewed in the Kingdom.Jesus confirms this in Matthew 5:17-19. And the words " one tittle" means the dietary laws and the Biblical Feasts of Leviticus 23. I would suggest that you rethink what you spoke about Mark 7 that the dietary laws are no longer in effect. My friend, nothing disappeared in the Torah with the change in the Priesthood. Just a service change of the sacrifice, circumcision and Priesthood. Everything else in Torah is rock solid in the renewed covenant.
you cannot renew a covenant with blood. As soon as you introduce christs blood and death the covenant is new as there is a new testator, new testament and new priesthood from a different tribe
@@bertgoat Yes Jesus did renewed the covenant at Calvary and now it has better and more sure promises. See Hebrews 7:12. With the Priesthood being changed, Psalms 110:4, there is a necessity to be a change in the Torah. Those changes were animal blood to that of Christ and fleshly circumcision went to one on the heart. But the Torah is still in tact and never passed with the old covenant.
@@bertgoat You are the one without a clue. Messiah's blood replaced animal blood and the circumcision is no longer of the flesh but of the heart. Jeremiah 31:31-34. It's all in the book of Hebrews. Maybe you should read and STUDY it.
@@thomasprice1320 I have read it. The new covenant was in christs blood, his testament because he fulfilled ALL of the the requirements of the first covenant. Why ? because we are unable. As gal 3 v19 asks why the law,? it was added because of transgressions TILL the promised seed will come. also heb 8 v 13 2 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. The gentiles rejoiced in acts 15 v 31 when they were informed they were NOT required to be circumcised and follow the law. If you wish to be a fake jew, and work for your salvation, go for it, but you risk falling from grace and christ being of no effect for you as per galations 5 v 4
I thought he didn't have a problem with Torah observant Christians? People who want to keep The Torah. And we could keep Torah observance if we wanted to? It seems like he's going back on that stance?
That was my thought as well. The way Christianity interprets the bible, I don't think Christians can follow Torah at the same time. God was clear in his expectations and those are different than man's interpretation. Perhaps people are going the way of HR because they want more than what they have been fed in Christianity. I listened in on his video with the mother from OK who shared her experience with HR. My biggest takeaway is they didn't have a good teacher...they only had their own interpretations that were steeped in Christianity. I have yet to hear a solid/valid explanation that indicates God will take issue with modern man for making an attempt to follow his Torah instructions. Jesus never taught that following Torah was a trap...if this is the end result of what Christianity is teaching, then I think there is an issue.
Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that WHICH DECAYETH AND WAXETH OLD ( old covenant ) IS READY TO VANISH AWAY. Text Analysis for Hebrews 8:13: IN - SAYING, NEW, HE HAS MADE OBSOLETE THE FIRST; THAT THEN GROWING OLD AND AGING ( IS ) ( NEAR VANISHING ). Brothers and sisters, Let's be careful not to add or remove from God's word! Can you please show me in the scripture where it says that the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD changed the continuous tense in Hebrews 8:13 to a past perfect tense like you claimed in your video at 15:52 - 15:58?
When Jesus ascended to heaven and the Holy Spirit was given the old covenant was made obsolete, and the new covenant was established. The old covenant decayed and waxed away at that moment. Whenever the temple was destroyed doesn't matter, it was just a sign of their being a new covenant in place and that the old covenant was vanished away. Hebrews Ch. 8, 6, "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises." 13, "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."
@@LukeCh.10verse16-mb8om A covenant is an agreement or a written legal contract between two or more people. A mediator cannot have a covenant by himself. God gave us a parallel of this in Exodus 24 with three parties involved in the old covenant ( God, Mediator/ Moses & Israelites ). A similar scenario HAS to repeat itself if we don't contradict Jeremiah 31 & 32. Therefore, since no one can point out anywhere in the New testament where a similar scenario HAD ALREADY HAPPENED, then Hebrews 8:13 is right in using a present continuous tense of * is near VANISH ING *. It becomes VANISHED when a newly written legal contract/ covenant is in place; when God gives us a new spirit and WRITES HIS LAWS IN OUR HEARTS IN THE FUTURE MILLENNIAL REIGN AFTER THE FINAL WAR ON EARTH OF GOG AND MAGOG.
@@seedfarmer0416 ,...What you have stated is 100% wrong and just absolute unbiblical nonsense. You have only again exposed your Biblical illiteracy and well as your spiritually dead and blind state. The sad truth is, no amount of Biblical truth presented to you will mean nor change a thing. You like your Godless fathers who God rejected and accursed possess zero ability to understand Biblical truth. You will only continually reject the truth of the Bible and just go right back to your wallowing in the mire, same as your fathers who killed Jesus did. 2nd Timothy speaks of those like you who have a form of Godliness but in reality do not understand the word of God. You are ever learning but will never come to a knowledge of the truth of Gods word as God has blinded you just as he blinded your ungodly fathers. You mind is totally corrupt and this is manifest and easily seen by all those who Jesus has called. Repent! 2nd Timothy Ch. 3, 5, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6, For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8, Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9, But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was."
@@seedfarmer0416 A covenant ends when one party dies. Jesus died. "Do you not know, brothers and sisters-for I am speaking to those who know the law-that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him... So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God... But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code." ~ Romans 7 : 1, 2, 4, 6

I agee. Many years ago I was also being led astray by judaizers. Simply labeling me "unsaved" prior to that is far too simplistic. In Galatians 5:4 Paul refers to those led astray into keeping the Law of Moses as having "fallen from grace". Paul didn't assume the Galatians were never saved, he assumed the opposite, writing "having begun by the spirit are you being perfected by the flesh" (3:3) and "you ran well, who hindered you?" (5:7). How can one "fall from grace" if they were not in grace to begin with? It's a humbling text for sure, but one that should be taught much more often in churches than it is.
"But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law", as Galatians 5:18 to the brethren of Paul in the gospel of Christ, if you are led by the flesh you are under the law and fall from grace.
Hi, AlRay! 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 adultery. Unfaithfulness and sexual immorality were wrong long before the Law of Moses, as we see, for example, in the story of Joseph fleeing Potiphar’s wife (Gen 39:12-18). 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. Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots but the mosaic laws were never binding for the gentiles and as you rightly say there were universal laws already in place before God gave Moses the laws for Israel. Yet we learn about them through the Torah which is why it remains the standard by which everything else has to be measured by. Yet when it comes to Israel, it is the chosen people and different rules apply for them. The church has not replaced Israel and therefore we can’t claim that the Torah is not anymore binding including the mosaic laws.
Ezekiel 11 19-20 And I will give them one HEART, and a NEW SPIRIT I will put within them. I will remove the HEART of stone from their flesh and give them a HEART of flesh, that they may walk in "my statutes" and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my "PEOPLES", and I will be their YAH/God. Jer 31 33 But this is the COVENANT that I will make with the HOUSE of ISRAEL after those days, declares the Adonai/Lord: I will put my TORAH within them, and I will write it on their HEARTS. And I will be their YAH/God, and they shall be MY PEOPLES ie YAHisrael. Hebrews 8 7-13 Hebrews 10 16 This is the COVENANT I will make with them after that time, says the Adonai/Lord. I will put my TORAH/ law in their HEARTS, and I will write them on their MINDS.”
Notice the crickets. People just hate the Torah. People just don’t seem to understand that the house of Israel was divorced by Yeshua. The new covenants are only promised to the two houses.
Mr. Solberg I will wait patiently to have an actual dialog with you. I will also continue to post my comments on your video's in the hopes to help some understand what some of us mean by Torah obervance under the New Covenant. There is much you are not fully understanding in this video on 2 Cor. 3. Keeping Paul in context and with the understanding that Paul was Torah observant himself will help us understand what Paul is trying to teach us. We clearly see Paul was Torah observant in Acts 21:21 Paul is being accused of forsaking Moses, meaning that he is teaching that the law of Moses(laws given to Moses) were no longer needed for believers in Christ. Paul then agrees to take a vow to show that is NOT what he is teaching. Paul confesses in Acts 24:14 that he believes in all things written in the Law and the Prophets. In Acts. 24:8 Paul tells us that he is not speaking against the law nor against the temple. We find Paul, as was his custom, teaching on the Sabbath to both Jews and Gentiles in Acts 13:14, 13: 42, 44, 17:2, and 18:4. He is keeping the holy days in Acts 18:21, 20:6, and 20: 16. Clearly, Paul is still Torah observant. So, why do we twist Paul's words to make it seem like he is somehow teaching contrary to Torah observance? It is the HOW part that we are missing. How are we to observe the Torah under the New Covenant? Understanding that the definition of sin is the transgression of the law(1 John 3:4) is key. So, if God's law is dfining sin, how can that be "done away with" or is something that should be "taken out of the way?" You correctly point out that the law was NEVER meant to "save" anyone. The law's sole purpose is to tell us what sin is, so we do not walk in it any longer. The problem is NOT God's law, it is our inability to walk it out in this fallen state! Paul teaches us in Rom. 8:7 that our carnal minds(fallen natures) are at enmity with God, why? Because in this fallen state we are not subject to the law of God, nor can we be, and this is the problem God is fixing! All the law can do is define sin, but it is powerless to make anyone obey and this is the weakness of the law! When we come to Christ, all that changes! It is through Him that we begin to change. I cannot boast in obedience to God's righteous laws, it is Christ in me that changes my desire to turn from my sin(breaking God's commandments) to obedience out of my love for Him. He gets all the glory and all the honor for it is through Christ that I begin to learn to walk righteously before Him. If you are going to attempt to walk out the righteous requirements of the law, without Christ, that is when you are walking in the letter of the law. You are attempting to earn your OWN righteousness, apart from Christ. This is what our Jewish brethren are doing today. It is through the Spirit, who leads us into all truth, that I begin to obey out of love, NOT for my salvation. My salvation is in Christ alone! Sanctification is a process. No one is "saved" until we are clothed with our resurrected bodies. This is what is meant by walking in the Spirit and the Spirit giving us life! Life comes from obedience, death comes from disobedience. Now we can begin to unpack 2 Cor. 3. So lets start with verse 3, which you skipped over. "Clearly ou are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of flesh, that is of the heart." We see here Paul teaching us that under the New Covenant, God is doing a new thing, He is writing His laws on our hearts, no longer on tablets of stone. This is because God has always wanted obedience, but out of our love for Him, not for our attempt to "save" ourselves. Our sufficiency is from God, not from ourselves. He is making us ministers of the New Covenant through His Spirit, NOT of the letter of the law, which is attempting to walk out the law in your fallen state, without Christ! Which cannot be done! The Spirit gives life and it is the Spirit that leads you to obedience. Under the law, what brings death and what brings life? Disobedience brought death, but obedience brings life!! And this is the job of the Spirit! You walk in obedience as the evidence of the faith you have placed in Christ. It is Christ that is doing the work in you, so that no one can boast. In verse 7 Paul is saying what was written and engaved on stone was a ministry of death. What was written on stone? The 10 commandments, correct? So, is Paul telling us that the 10 commandments is a ministry of death? Of course not, that would not make any sense. Paul than goes on to say what was written on stone was glorious. So, what would make the 10 commandments become a ministry of death? They would only become a ministry of death when you are in disobedience to them because the wages of sin(disobedience) is death. Under the Old Covenant, a temporary sacrificial system had to be put in place to cover our disobedience. But the blood of bulls and goats could never take away our sins. So, while we received the commandments under the Old Covenant, and those commandments were glorious, this temporary system to cover our sins had to pass away. Paul goes on to contrast the Old vs. New Covenant. Under the New Covenant, we obey through the power of the Spirit who works in us and begins to write the law on our hearts. Changing our desire from disobedience to obedience! Through obedience we receive life! This is why this New Covenant is more glorious, because the law is being written on our hearts and is the glory that excels over the Old Covenant where the law was written on tablets of stone. Under the Old Covenant, there was condemnation when you were in disobedience, a death sentenace was owed. But under the New Covenant, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Why? Because that condemnation, that death sentence was paid for. This is why the ministry of righteousness exceeds in glory. The liberty that Christ provides is from sin(disobedience) NOT from His Father's righteous laws. Please stop making God's law the problem. The problem is our fallen natures, NOT God's righteous laws. We walk in obedience through Christ and the Holy Spirit, who give us the power to overcome sin! Our obedience is the evidence that we have placed our faith in Christ!
Hi, ROAT. Just an FYI that I rarely read comments as long as this. I typically read the first line or two and then move on. It's an issue of time for me. In the case of this comment, I am responding to your suggestion that Paul was Torah observant even after his conversion. He wrote, "For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings." ( 1 Cor. 9:19-23) Blessings, Rob
@@kimartist I am pretty sure you and I have had conversations before and they never go anywhere. But I will see if we can dialog. Let's start with Rom. 6:14. To get some context for this statement we need to start at the beginning of the chapter. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly Not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? The scriptural definition of sin can be found in 1 John 3:4 which tells us that sin is the transgression of the law. We are not to live in sin any longer once we place our faith in Christ, but that is Him doing the work in us! My walk in obedience is NOT my own righteousness as it is Christ who is doing this work. We are no longer slaves to sin, which is trangressing the law, we are slaves to righteousness, which is walking within God's rigthteous commandments according to Ps. 119:172. I agree, we are not under the law, but what does it mean to be under the law? Rom. 3:19 gives us the answer. "Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are "under the law". that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world my become guilty before God." This verse is telling you that we are all guilty before God. Why? Because in this fallen state, it is not possible to walk within the righteous requirements of the law. The phrase "under the law" means you are under the penalty of the law and are condemned to death for we are in violation of it and therefore guilty before God. And this is the problem God is fixing! He is NOT doing away with His righteous commandments, He is fixing our fallen natures and our inablility to walk within it. How? Through Christ, who lived out the righteous requirements of the law in the flesh, not so we don't have to, but so we can be represented in Him and no longer fallen Adam. Rom. 3: 31 tells us: "Do we then make void the law through faith? Certianly Not! On the contrary, We establish the law!" This verse is telling you that we stand on the law. Why? So we know what sin is and we know what not to do anymore. The evidence that you have placed your faith in Christ is an obedient life. Before you come to Him, you are in disobedience. We must confess that we are sinners and then repent. Repentance means doing a 180 and return to obedience, but this is the work of Christ living inside of you and not of your own strength, lest anyone should boast. Rom. 6:15 is telling us that we are no longer under the penalty of the law, we are under grace. Grace is given because we are still in this fallen state. God now begins a work in you once you have accepted His Son as your Messiah. This is why this verse is telling you we will not continue to sin. Does that mean we will not make mistakes? Of course not, and this is why grace is given. It is given as we learn to walk in obedience. We will need that grace, because of our fallen natures. But God does not leave us without hope. He gives us the Holy Spirit who will lead you into all truth. Truth, as defined by scripture, is found in Ps. 119:142, and 151. Lastly, Gal. 5:18. Now that we have defined what is meant by the phrase "under the law" as being under the penalty of the law. We can now better understand this verse. When we are being led by the Spirit, are we being led to obedience or disobedience? Obedience, of course! When you are walking in obedience, than the law can no longer condemn you. The law can only condemn you when you are in violation of it. We walk out the rightous requirments of the law, through the Spirit, NOT by the flesh. This is the work of the Spirit! Verse 16 of the same chapter confirms this. When we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, which are in disobedience to the law. I think the negative view of the law comes from those who do not understand that there are changes to the law under the New Covenant. I am not one of those who subscribe that we are still under all the laws given to Moses. All the Levitical laws and sacrificial system were temporary in nature and did not come about until after the sin of the golden calf. They were put in place to show us our need for a savior. The law is holy, just, and good. It is NOT this burdensome thing that we must do in order to save ourselves. We obey out of love and it is the evidence of the faith we have placed in Christ.
@@RestorationofallThings TL;DR (too long; didn't read = that's not a dialogue; it's a monologue!) I've given my stance, gleaned from New Testament Scripture. We Christians are not under the law; not now, not ever. Period. When you have a clear position, no need to endlessly obfuscate or bloviate 👋

2 Corinthians 3:6-18 Q&A Q1.what is the new covenant that God made Paul and Timothy able ministers of? A1. It is the covenant that has been renewed or reconfirmed from generation to generation, from Adam and Eve (Ge 3:15) all the way to Jesus’ death on the cross in A.D. 31 (Dan 9:27,Ps 105:8-10, Gal 3:17) Q2. Is the letter a component of the New Covenant? A2. There are many texts throughout scripture that prove that the New Covenant is not just Spirit, but that it consists of both Spirit and letter. ( Jn 4:23-24, 17:17, Mt 5:17-19, Ro 3:31, Ro 7:12-16, 2Ti 3:16-17. Scripture, letter and truth are synonymous. Q3. What does Paul mean when he says “not of the letter “? A3. One of the things I think Paul is saying, is that their sufficiency to be ministers of the New Covenant is not by the “letter of the law” but by the Spirit of the law. Also, that as a minister of the New Covenant, he is teaching people that their ability or sufficiency in whatever they do is also not based on the letter, but on the Spirit. In other words, keep the letter through the power of the Spirit and to not try to keep the “letter” through or by the letter. Q4. Can “the letter” in and of itself kill? A4. It is the Spirit behind the letter that kills. The letter is God’s word and it is God who enforces His word. Q5. What is it that the letter kills? A5. God through His letter is going to destroy or kill sin, Jn 15:6 Q6. Why is it that God through His letter will kill us? A6. Because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, Ro 3:23. Q7. How do we get life from the Spirit? A7. By WALKING after the Spirit. Ro 8:1, Gal 5:16 Q8. Where does the Spirit lead us ? A8. The Spirit will lead us to keep the “letter” Ro3:31, but it is not as though the Spirit sends us away to keep the “letter “ but rather the Spirit working through us to keep the letter. Gal 2:20 Q9. What is the “ministration of death” A9. In order to harmonize 2Cor 3:7-18 with Mt 5:7-19, Ro 3:31, and Ro 7:12-16, we must find something other than just the Ten Commandments as being the “ministration of death” . The Ten Commandments are the foundation of the ministration of death, but within it is the actual physical actions being administered against the offender or violator of the Ten Commandments which were written in stone. But for those who were truly sorry for their sins, God, through His mercy provided a substitute for these actual physical actions to be administered upon instead of the actual offenders themselves. These substitutes were bullocks, goats, heifers, lambs, rams, all of which represented Jesus. So basically what Paul is saying here in 2 Cor 3:6-18 is that if the crucifixion of animals was glorious, how much more glorious is the crucifixion of Jesus. The sacrifices were only glorious as they represented Jesus as the one who would eventually die for our sins. Q10. What is the “ministration of the Spirit” A10. The ministration of the Spirit is the offering up of Christ through the Spirit for the sins of the world, instead of the offering of beasts. Heb 9:13-14, Titus 3:4-5 Q11. What is the “ministration of righteousness “? A11. The ministration of righteousness is the forgiveness of past sins (Ro 3:25) and provision to keep us from sinning in the future ( 1Jn 2:1, Jude 1:24, Jn 15:1-11, Heb 12:2-11, and also forgiveness for future sins to be repented of. It is impossible for the ministration of death to take away sins (Heb 10:4, but it is possible for the ministration of the Spirit/Righteousness to take away sins. Q12. Who is not as Moses which put a veil over his face? A12. Paul and Timothy (2 Cor 1:1) Q13. Why did Moses veil his face? A13. Because the people were afraid. Ex 34:30. Q14. What was it that made the people afraid? A14. It was Moses’ shiny face that made them afraid. Ex 34:30 Q15. What was it that made Moses’ face shine? A15. It was the Gospel. Prophecy of Exodus 12:1-14,46 fulfilled in Jn 19:31-36, 1 Cor 5:7, 1Pe 1:19. Prophecy of Ex 24:8 fulfilled in Heb 9:11-28. Q16. Why were the people afraid of Moses’ shining face? A16. Because of their pride and sin, they were afraid of the light. Therefore Moses put a veil over his own face so that the people would come near to hear the instructions of the Lord (Ex 34:32) and as a result, they could not see the gospel light of Christ, which was a fulfillment of the animal sacrifices (Ex 29:10-46 that Moses was now commanding them to perform in Ex 34:32. They could not see the light at the end of the animal sacrifices which were to be abolished. All they could see was a sacrificed animal instead of seeing a crucified and risen Saviour. The feasts of Firstfruits, which was one of the ordinances that Moses gave to the people after covering his face ( Ex 23:16-19, 34:22-26 & 1Cor 15:20-23) carried the symbol of the crucified and risen Saviour, yet they could not see the hope that Paul is speaking of in 2Cor 3:12. They also failed to see that when the earthly high priest put on his holy garments (Ex 28) that it represented a heavenly high Priest. The glory of the gospel is painful and terrifying to those who do not want to turn from their sins, because the glory of God is a consuming fire(Heb 12:29) . Q17. Which one will be more painful to look upon if we have sin in our hearts: the “ministration of death” or the “ministration of the Spirit” which is even more glorious? A17. Heb 10:26-31 Q18. Who can we and should we find when we read Moses? A18. Jesus is who we can and should see (Luke 24:27,44, John 1:45). It is not the mere reading of Moses that covers their hearts, but it is the veil of pride, sin, and unbelief. While Moses put a veil over his face, Moses and his writings are not the veil but a revelation of Jesus, the light of the world. Q19. What was the life that Moses set before the people (Deuteronomy 30:15-20)? A19. Love for God and obedience to His commandments, in other words: the letter with the Spirit gives life. Q20. What was the death that Moses set before the people (Deuteronomy 30:15-20? A20. It is “the letter” without the Spirit of God that brings on cursing and death, because without the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit we cannot be in harmony with “the letter”.
Moses put a veil over his face so they wouldn't see the glory FADE. The glory of the Old Covenant faded even then because it was temporary. It was the fading of the glory that freaked them out.
No. The *same* promise of righteousness/blessing being a free gift of God’s grace to His elect people received through faith alone (i.e., as the result of regeneration/new birth by the Holy Spirit) has been operative ever since it was first revealed in Genesis 3:15, and later confirmed to Abraham: “Then he believed in Yahweh; and He counted it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). This is the *only* way that anyone has ever been justified in God’s sight, even during the age of the Mosaic Covenant (i.e., while it was still in effect), which Paul refers to as the “ministry of death” and “ministry of condemnation.” Paul is simply drawing the contrast between relying upon obedience to the Mosaic Law (which condemns everyone who violates even one of its precepts - James 2:10) and relying upon Christ alone by faith (who fulfilled the active/passive righteousness demanded by the Mosaic Law on our behalf). The New Covenant is simply the historical *fulfillment* of the same gracious promise that was given to Abraham, which is why Paul says: “And what I am saying is this: the [Mosaic] Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God [i.e., the Abrahamic Covenant], *so as to abolish the promise.* For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise, *but God has granted it to Abraham through promise.”* (Galatians 3:17-18)
10 commandment was never called the law of Moses. The law of Moses was written in a book and placed beside the Ark of Covenant. You may want to review your interpretation because you are making Paul contracting Jesus in Matt 5:17-19 and even you are making Paul contracting himself in Rom13:9. He still uphold the moral law of God long after the cross.
“So He declared to you His Covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.” Moses speaking - Deuteronomy 4:13 Moses is calling the Covenant that God has with Israel the Ten Commandments. So he was there with the LORD 40 days and 40 nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments. - Exodus 34:28
So, you suggest circumcision of the heart is by the Spirit, not by the written code. But, that would have had to have already been true under the Old Covenant, because circumcission of the heart is a lawful requirement found written in torah which God says he will perform on his people. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Deuteronomy 30:6 However, apparently man plays a role in this process too, because torah also instructs us to circumcise the foreskin of our heart as well. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. It’s also why Jeremiah 4:4 discusses the idea long before mentioning anything about the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31. Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Jeremiah 4:4 In fact, there is no specific mention of circumcision of either heart or flesh in the wording of the New Covenant, unless one reasons that the “torah” in its entirety is being written in man’s heart. Seeing the Hebrew word Torah is being translated “law” in English there. So, what you argue from Paul concerning circumcision of the heart is originally an Old Covenant idea, not something new at all. So, if you argue against the word “torah” in Jeremiah 31 translated law as being some new or different law, then Paul’s idea of circumcising the heart is without basis under the New Covenant in the argument you are presenting there. Okay, but your appeal to Ezekiel and the replacing the heart of stone with a new heart in Ezekiel 11 and 36 was not the time of the cross. These are clearly prophecies about a future time after God gathers his people back into their own land at the Second Coming of Christ, further suggesting we are not yet under the New Covenant. Hence, explaining why from Ezekiel chapter 37, and 40-48 we are returning to Old Covenant lawful practices in another earthly sanctuary. You see, Professor Solberg, God is going to resolve the problems he has with us under the Old Covenant before he brings us under the New Covenant. By the time the thousand years is over, we will have gone through the lawful practices so much that they will be written in our new heart. Then and only then will we be under the New Covenant for real. Okay, if the ministry of righteousness exceeds the ministry of condemnation, then why are Christians everywhere still complaining they cannot overcome sin and live a holy, righteous life? It is simply because we are not yet under the New Covenant. Christianity would not be complaining today if we were no longer under the ministry of condemnation that sin still ravages their lives. Paul could not have anticipated this simple problem shatters his misapplication of the New Covenant in his day. He simply got the timing of when we are under the New Covenant all wrong, confusing himself and everyone else who reads his and the author of Hebrews 8’s mistaken assessment of the covenants. If you thought condemnation was a horrific thing under a ministry of condemnation and of lesser glory, how much greater will the condemnation of your sins be when God writes his law in your heart under the New Covenant leading to your own heart condemning you??? Christians who insist they are under the New Covenant today and complaining about sin need to think that one over carefully, because under the New Covenant we are supposed to be doing a lot better than the Jews did under the Old Covenant, but we are sinning and dying as much if not more than they did. Another indication we are not yet under the New Covenant is Jeremiah 31:34. There simply won’t be all this teaching about God under the New Covenant as, you, Professor Rob are engaging in today, along with countless other teachers throughout the Christian realm. Teaching of such a nature is openly discontinued under the New Covenant provision of Jeremiah 31:34, so why are there all these teachers today trying to tell us about God and his covenants? Because we are not under the New Covenant today, plain and simple. You won’t need anyone to teach you about God after God writes his law in your heart, you will already know everything you need to know about God, making the need for teaching in that area quite irrelevant.
In your video you state "God made a covenant with "Israel" and gave them the law to serve as the terms of that covenant. if Israel obeyed the law they would keep the covenant and reap blessings" can you clarify this more as Israel did not exist on the map during that time. Are you referring to Israel (Jacob) the son of Isaac and his 12 tribes? the ancient Israelite which would be the sons of Israel (Jacob) settled in the land of Canaan.
Hi Baysick. When I say "Israel," I'm referring to Exodus 19, where God said, "“This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself." (Exod. 19:3-4). The covenant and the law were given to the Israelites who were rescued from slavery in Egypt, and 40 years after Sinai, would inherit their own land. Blessings, Rob
The Narrow Gate 13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell[f] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. The Tree and Its Fruit 15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. True Disciples 21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
So, Professor, if the letter kills, and we are no longer under that old ministration of death, but the Spirit gives life, then the obvious question to ask is why are we still dying after the cross? Yeah the Spirit is giving so much life that we are dying at a greater rate today than they were back before the cross. I mean, honestly! So, your appeal to verse 5 is our first indication that Paul and the author of Hebrews 8 ushered in the New Covenant way way way too soon. Paul even asked death where its sting was in another passage he wrote to the Corrinthians, and Paul is not alive today, because death answered Paul boldly and took his life. But, that shouldn’t have happened if we are no longer under the MINISTRATION OF DEATH but under a more glorious Ministration of the Spirit who brings life! Paul should be alive today, and now we need rationalizations and desperate excuses to explain why Paul died after asking death where its sting was. All this to avoid the fact that we are very much still under the Old Covenant today and not yet under this other New Covenant that is supposed to be of the Spirit and brings life rather than death. This should be a sobering wake up call to those who follow Paul and the author of Hebrews 8 blindly into the New Covenant that simply isn’t here yet. The New Covenant is not going to come to us until after the houses of Israel and Judah are reunited in Ezekiel 37, that is why God is making his New covenant with those two houses in Jeremiah 31:31-34. As Zechariah 11 points out, the brotherhood of Judah and Israel was being broken, not reunited, back at the cross. There will not be disunion between these two houses under the New Covenant like we see today, because God’s law will be written in our hearts and will guide and unify us, rather than separate us. Christ took the kingdom away from the Israelites in Matthew 21, he left unto them their house desolate in Matthew 23. He wasn’t making a New Covenant with anyone, let alone either house of Israel or Judah at that time. Far from it, and the sooner people realize this, the sooner we can stop being rediculous and get things back on track here by realizing we are still very much under the Old Covenant. We don’t even receive a New Heart until Christ returns and gathers his people back into their own land in Ezekiel 11 and 36. God has to get rid of the stony heart of Zechariah 7 and Ezekiel 11 and 36 first, before he can write his law in our heart under the New Covenant, because the condition of the stony heart is the refusal of people to even hear God’s law as God himself explains in Zechariah 7. So, the New Covenant is clearly intended for a future time as the prophecies declare. The problem is that Paul and the author of Hebrews 8 thought those prophecies would all come to pass in their days, and they sadly didn’t come to pass, not even close! So, Professor, if eternal life can only be found by placing faith in Christ alone, because Paul argues against looking to the Hebrew Scriptures to find eternal life, then how is it that when asked how one obtains eternal life, Christ refused to say, “Just have faith in me and your eternal life is secured? What Christ responded with instead was as follows: And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 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. KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS??? Is he joking, or is he deadly serious?? Sorry, but That’s not the “Forget the works of the law and just have faith” mantra we are constantly told is how man is saved and obtains eternal life. By all accounts, the Savior would be accused by most Christians of telling a fib here because of the antiworks teachings of Paul. But, Christ continues conversing with this guy further, He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 19:18-19 Christ is recommending ideas above which are from the ten commandments. Doesn’t Christ know that Paul doesn’t believe that keeping the commandments can save us because these are all part of the MINISTRATION OF DEATH by Paul’s estimation, not a Ministration of Life? Or, is it closer to the truth to say that Christ is being completely consistent with his ideas in Matthew 4:4 where Christ insists that man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, seeing God is the one speaking the ten commandments with his mouth in Exodus 20??? And if Christ thinks we can live by the ten commandments God is speaking with his mouth, is it really a Ministration of Death, or is it a Ministration that instead leads to life, suggesting that the actual Ministration of death is more our refusal to live according to what God commands, namely our disobedience, not God’s covenant! And even after the cross, Christ comes back again in Revelation 22:12-14 arguing that only commandment keepers will have right to the tree of life, further remaining consistent with his above conclusions in Matthew 4:4 and Matthew 19:16-19 as well. How long can those who refuse to keep the commandments expect their life to be, if they are given no access to the tree of life because they are not commandment keepers like those Christ is offering the tree of life to in Revelation 22:14? Because everyone else in verse 15 appears to be stuck outside the Holy City with zero access to the tree of life, probably wondering why they even listened to Paul in the first place who is robbing them of their eternal life with his antiworks rhetoric. So, when Christ said to search the Scriptures to find eternal life in Christ it was because Christ recommends commandment keeping, and because Christ is our example to follow, not Paul. Okay, so now you want to say the law of Moses isn’t just some ancient code we can toss out, but if you and Paul insist that eternal life is not obtained through keeping the law of Moses, what is going to compel people to hold on to it? Christians quickly become minimalists and argue that they will only adhere to what is absolutely necessary to safeguard their eternal life. They aren’t going to buy into holding on to something you and Paul are insisting is irrelevant to their eternal life. The only good reason to hold on to the law of Moses is if it is still essential to their salvation and obtaining right to the tree of life as Christ points out in Matthew 19:16-19 and Revelation 22:12-14. So, the real reason we do not toss it out is because there really is a law that could in fact help to bring salvation. What Paul should have argued is that the law alone does not bring salvation, because obedience to the law is only part of the salvation equation. It is how we cooperate with Christ in order to be saved, but Christ has his own part to play in our salvation, which involves the use of his blood for the remission of sins and also to protect us from the accusations of Lucifer in Revelation 12 who is the “accuser of the brethren”. And ultimately, we are not the judge of our own salvation, God is! So, the mercy by which we are saved and granted access to the tree of life through comes from God, not from us. And why does Christ show mercy and grant them right to the tree of life in Matthew 19:16-19 and Revelation 22:12-14, because they keep the commandments as he requires of anyone he gives eternal life to. So, we can’t be saved and obtain eternal life without obeying the commandments, and we can’t be saved and obtain eternal life without the help of Christ who helps us to find remissionof sins through his blood and through God who extends mercy in our case from the judgment seat when he sees we are meeting the former conditions.
Let me explain why God gave us the 10 Laws,the ten stop signs if you want. They are not there as a punishment but as a deterrent and if you live them you get rewarded, if you decide to sin instead and disregard GOD like a bad child then you get the punishment. A hard way indeed, to be left out here without GOD to protect you. Do you think that there are 2 billion Christians on the narrow hard path or are they all running up the broad road with no rules? Pick a line here and a lime there and make another denomination right? God's law is the cleaner for the heart and once its clear GOD'S spirit will be there to protect and guide you. God does not live with sin,GOD does not but if you turn back and take up the covenant offer, to obey the commandments, GOD will forgive you
This man of God does not know the difference between the word testament and covenant, only the Ten Commandments were written in stone as a covenant Exodus 34:28 while the Old Testament had six hundred and thirteen laws, he seems to use them interchangeable which becomes the error in his theology although what he is saying that we do not obey the Old Testament nor the Ten Commandments in stone is correct, therefore this creates a confusion if you do not specify what was written in stone from 11 Corinthians 3:3-9 is the Ten Commandments in stone as the law of God, this is the letter that kills, not the Old Testament, as you cannot use these names interchangeable and thing you are talking about the same thing. The Law of God was written by the finger of God, the Old testament is the law of Moses written by the pen that Moses wrote with, not the same thing, two different laws.
Why does the gospel teach that we absolutely have to obey the Law of Mosea but the one who came along after teaches the opposite and has done away with GOD AND HIS LAWS?
What you do not, and cannot understand is, you are completely spiritually dead and blind. No amount of scripture given or explained to you will mean nor change a thing. You are just a brute beast made to be destroyed as all your completely ignorant comments show. Repent, and cry out to God/Jesus for mercy. "But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;" 2 Peter 2:12 KJV "But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves." Jude 1:10 KJV
@John3.36 i know the Scripture, all of it. I didn't start at the back and it took many years to get to this point and time,now I know God and what God wants from us. It is simple. I know the book. So,why don't you elaborate?
@John3.36 do you understand Matthew gospel chapter 13? The teacher left the message in the gospel,the wheat, the message to repent and take up the commandments and foght the satan out from within and then Paul the one who said be saw Yehoshua in the desert(Matthew chapter 24). Left the tares. Can you not see,you deny GOD'S instructions? And listen to a man who said he saw an angel of light that told him what to do, BUT this guy has absolutely no witness to the event and you believe him. The gospel teacher is amazing and cares. Paul is a chameleon, whatever he has to be to turn all he can to satans jesus test,(Deuteronomy chapter 13).

New Covenant Whole Gospel: Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below. Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8, 3:16? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24. 1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those now in the New Covenant. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Watch the TH-cam videos “The New Covenant” by David Wilkerson, or Bob George, and David H.J. Gay.
Matthew 13:52 Then he added, “Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.”8 “Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.[d] 9 And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your Father. 10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you must be a servant. 12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Why are you takeing up for liars???? And why do you seek to back up lies? It literally says that the law is forever and that it is of life. Paul literally said the opposite of God and said the knowledge of the law is what made him want to sin.
@@Philisnotretired That's not true at all, and I challenge you to back those words up (hear publicly.) Jesus, ( who is not God, ) but a angel foretold to come.....came, and so did all the false prophets- like Paul and many others who came to distort the face of jesus by putting a godman Mask on him. - Paul is a false apostle, he is the ravenous wolf of Benjamin who is a ravenous wolf in sheeps clothing who was foretold to come......

@yashawngray9289 I didn't say Paul spoke to Jesus. If you actually read my comment, it refers to Ananias being told by Jesus that Paul was His chosen instrument. Acts 9:15. But maybe that is just Luke's say so. He wrote Acts, ... or he says he did. Maybe you don't believe John 13:20, either. Maybe Revelation is just John's say so. However, if indeed, Paul was chosen by Jesus, then in rejecting Paul, you are rejecting the One who sent him. Something to consider. I would be very interested in your explanation of how the New Testament proves Paul never spoke to Jesus.
Eph 2:8-10 For by grace are you saved through faith and that is not your accomplishmemt it's the gift of G d but not of works should any man gloat.

Can a person just have faith and no works., G d forbid we uphold the law.
What are the parameters for the new covenant in jer and ez? I would suggest it's your body. No longer able to sin. Laws stays the same. Jesus is resurrected and in the new covenant the first fruits.

I see a problem in you which is expressed in your facial and bodily. Expression. You should be more truthful and respectful when speaking about the Law or letter that y you refer too the ministry of death. These. Were written with the finger of God and should NEVER be referred as Moses Law. They are God’s Law Never Moses Law. So watch yuh mouth and the dribble Thais proceeding therefrom.

Who soever men teach the least of these commandments will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven but whoso ever teach to do them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
With all due respect.... Law of god is unchageble and holy. 10comandments they still stand strong. What had changed from old to new is sacrifice and offerings for sin has been done away-jesus was perfect sacrifice. When Jesus died, the vail of most holy was riped from top to the bottom by God and from than on we can go to the presence of the god in spirit ad truth ourselfs vs one prist once a year. That why we need to be repented and be baptised. Failed to mention is what is the duty of holy spirit:john16:7,8,9,10,11 Holy spirit convinces us of sin,in old testament, law convinced us of sin. That's why Romans 6nd 7 are so important to understand because Paul indirectly reflect sermon on the mount in his writing. So,if holy spirit convinces ud of the sin than 10Commandments FROM GOD are still in action. My question to all is this;what happens to this:Remember to keep the Sabbath holy？
Brother Solberg uses mostly the term "Jesus". Paul uses mostly the term "Christ". And when scripture uses the term "Jesus Christ" Solberg uses "Jesus". Now I love Jesus! However we have four words.

He gave me the scripture Psalms 25:12-14: 12 What man [is] he who fears the LORD? He shall teach him in the way that he shall choose. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD [is] with those who fear Him; and He will show them His covenant.

Read Deuteronomy chapter 30,the Law is written in your heart so you obey the ten commandments! Paul forgot to read Ezekiel chapter 18 or Isaiah chapter 56 to 58.
You will never understand Paul without a good understanding of TORAH. Romans 3:1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. Hebrews 5:12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat Acts 7:38 This is he(Moses), that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
I'm staying in Messanic teachings. I'm out of the church. Constantine was the one that changed the Judicial biblical laws and customs. Methra the Sun god was worshipped on Sunday. And his birthday is on Dec 25th.
That's right they are trying to turn us all back to the Old Testament which was the first beast that received the deadly wound, Just like it says it would happen in Rev 13:12 He used this power to make everyone living on the earth worship the first beast. The first beast was the one that had the death wound that was healed". Israel is healed to turn us all back to the Old Testament and are behind the cbdc where you can not buy or sell without it.
No, the old testament is not beast spoken of in Revelation Ch. 13. This beast has the name of blasphemy. The old testament is not blasphemy. And, the statement, rise up out of the sea, refers to it coming from mankind. The sea represents the nations and the people of the world. Also, all the world has never and does not now wonder after the old testament. The world wonders after all of Godless mankind's false religions and deceptions. The beast refers to babylon and to all its deceptions (blasphemy) that have deceived mankind throughout the old testament age. The birth of america was the rebirth of babylon, it was the deadly wound being healed. Revelation Ch.13, 1, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2, And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3, And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
We are not under the old or the new covenant. Those are Israel's covenants. They don't get their new covenant until they get their sins forgiven, which isn't until Christ returns to earth. Acts 3:19, Hebrews 8:12.
Do You admit that Paul taught the total opposite of the gospel teaching about keeping the commandments right? That Yehoshua the teacher never taught a word Paul taught,right? Be honest GOD IS OUR witness always
Of course I don't agree with that, LoM. I agree with the Bible. Jesus said about the apostle Paul: "He is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel" (Acts 9:15). If you reject Paul, you reject Jesus. Shalom, RLS
@TheBiblicalRoots so my teacher Yehoshua from the gospel talked to Paul? 70 years later? Why would GOD change the teaching GOD just sent his Yehoshua to tell the LOST SHEEP OF ISRA'EL? Why would GOD send Yehoshua the gospel teacher, on a mission to teach that we all must absolutely commit to obeying the 10 commandments, even if it means must cut our hand off or poke out our own eye to stop from breaking the 10 in any way, even in thoughts. (Remember what God told Cain? You can stop sin at the door before it even becomes a thought). The teacher who did nothing without GOD'S leave, sent by God in GOD'S name taught the law of Moses is for his brother and sisters. I guess your not in our family? Your not of Yehoshua's family, not of them?
@TheBiblicalRoots I absolutely reject all books after the Mattan gospel, the Hebrew name for the Matthew gospel. That is the gift from God, a call to repent and come home, God is calling his lost ones who were expelled into the world so long ago, lost among the idol worshipers, even thinking we were one of them. Until, until we hear God's truth and our hearts open up to realize where our roots come from . We are Abraham's descendants, we love the law of Moses, the book devarim/Deuteronomy It is right through all books in the Bible till the cross was invented, when the TARES were sowed! Why would Yehoshua say in the gospel for YOU to get away from him, he never knew you, YOU who break GOD'S LAWS? Who was the teacher talking to?
Jesus yalked about a nee temple too. He said it would be the temple of his body and that they that worship God then would do so in Spirit and in Truth.
My spirit rejoyce then you proclaim the Word of God. Psa 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. The only thing I don´t like is the globe, down in the right corner.
The law only point us to show us our sins. It doesn't save you. Only Yeshua Jesus. Where does works or laws come in. I means you prove your love for G d and thanking G d by keeping the commandments . See you love G d so there for we desire to please G d and keeping his laws. Isiah 64 : 6 we are considered unclean if you say you depend on laws or works to save. As long as you depend on Jesus totally for salvation you do good. Then we say thank you Aabba a do things to please him. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Don't be lawless
Your teachings are a complete misunderstanding of the word of God. Base you’re basically regurgitating the doctrine of dispensationalism, which is a doctrine of demons. I’m sorry, sir you seem very put together, but you will be held accountable for the teachings and the misleading you are leading people away from the law of Moses.
First you say we are living under grace . Then you say we are living under the New Covenant . Have you not seen all the guidelines that must be meet to verify to us that the New Covenant is here ? 1 Israel and Judah must become one . 2 The Messiah will be physically on earth ruling Israel and Judah. Many more things must be fulfilled. Sorry but as many so often do you don’t read the entire word before jumping to conclusions.
Stop telling people we don't obey G ds laws. Thy law have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee . Do you remember memorizing this scripture. I do. I'm not listening to your lies. Sun god worship is Methra and his birthday is on Dec. 25th. You worship a pagan god. You for get G ds commandments in keeping the Shabbat rest day on the 7th day. Do I need to go on. In John it says if you love me you will keep my commandments , People first get the mot out of your own eye and then you will see clear to get mot from your brothers eye. Nomos means law and Anomos is without law. Means wicked. Now do you see. Sorry . Praying for you .Shalom
Hi Colleen! 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). 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, RLS

Please pray for my Hebrew roots friend and her husband if you can! The Lord has been speaking to me 4 days in a row, very specifically that He wants me to talk to my friend about this. I’m not sure how to start the conversation or if I should just see how she leads the conversation and then reply as she speaks? He has spoken the word “quagmire”, spoken Galatians 3:3 (which brought me to this channel when I researched the chapter), and then gave me a dream of a timer running out when I asked him for sure if I should speak to her about this. How did you first become aware that you were headed in the wrong direction? I’ve been praying for her for about 6 months at least and have also read so far all the way from genesis to judges preparing for this. I don’t want to be too over the top but also want to be blunt.

I agree! I quit TH-cam for a long time for this Easter season. But I've missed these videos! Amazing teaching!
Im not hebrew roots but reading the first passage, this sounds more like putting the emphasis on Jesus and his grace. That we cant be saved thru works but thru jesus kinda saying. This doesn't conclude that we shouldn't try and follow gods law but just that it isn't what saves us in end. 🤔
Sadly this is not completely true, as the lecture opens from a faulty standpoint: the law of Yah, written in stones, is not Moses law.
This is very clear in the Bible: the stones were placed inside the ark and were later the heart of the temple.
But the law of Moses, the Torah, was not placed inside the ark, but besides the ark!
Super important difference. Now in the new covenant the law of Yah is written on the heart of the believer, not on stones, and we are the living temple now.
These are better promises, a better covenant, so the old fades away -> not needed anymore.
Old -> priests inheriting sin, animal sacrifices and temple worship.
New -> Christ fulfills these terms in a better way.
It is super clear in the New Testament that Christ taught the ten commandments.
Also I don't fault anyone wanting to make a memorial of the old, yearly feasts. It can be a blessed experience to learn how Christ fulfilled them and how they pointed to Him, were shadows.
I agree about the old covenant, but the ten commandments are not the law of Moses. Of course we should still not kill nor hate..
It is not so difficult ;) blessings
P.s. by the way, not corrupting the temple with unclean animals still counts. We are the living temple, we should eat clean and not unclean (clean, healthy meat. Not pig or dog or so). This is obviously still true. Why would you not want to eat healthy? Blessings to all and you!

It is very clear. We need to pray for those trapped in Torah keeping. They clearly have a vail over their eyes.
THE ONLY VEIL is that the second veil was torn. In the TABERNACLE eas the ark of the covenant with all 10 WERE placed in there. He caused the oblation to cease and the outer veil was torn YOU NEED to read how the tabernacle was built
Why is something given to us by God a trap?

Looking sharp!
When my wife first got into this cult and it looked like she was willing to shipwrecked the whole family over it, and she would be arguing with me about all this stuff. I would always bring this verse that says when the law was formed 3000 people died when the spirit came 3000 peoplegot saved.
Even though we don’t have no marriage, considering what we used to have we both I guess agreed to just live together and the other thing about this stuff is Hebrew. People are making a killer because all the stuff she does is really expensive if I don’t keep a real tight watch on it and I’m working two jobs , so people in this religion really don’t care about the other people really sad because they come in and just like steal people away and change your whole heart. It’s really devastating but thank you. I always love listening to you. Really you know it gets my heart settled back on Christ and not just back on my trials.
Well, I pray for this brother‘s wife that you open her eyes change her heart help her. The truth is in Jesus Christ not in the law she’s being deceived. She can’t see it. She can’t open her own eyes father you have to do it. She can’t in Jesus name amen
Behold, the ministry of death.
Exodus 31:14 “Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3], holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.“ (NASB)
Exodus 35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.“ (NASB)
Numbers 15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]. 33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (NASB)
Galatians 4:21 Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the Law? (NASB)
Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away [Revelation 21], not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!“ (NASB)
2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministry of death, engraved in letters on stones, came with glory so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? (NASB)
2 Corinthians 3:12 Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and we are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face [Exodus 34] so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away [Hebrews 8]. 14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ [Hebrews 7:11-12; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4; Luke 5:36-39]. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; (NASB)

Ministry of 2nd death,
Good teaching. I will take notes. Good to share with my hebrew roots friend.
This brother's interpretation about Old Covenant is not entirely correct? He seemed to imply that it being done away at the Cross. His interpretation contradict what Jesus and Paul stated in Matt 5:17-19 and Roman 13:9. True interpretation is there in the scripture.
Pray for me.
Thank you Brother! I fully believe we are under a New Covenant.
Question: Are the sons and daughters of Israel still under the law? At least until they accept Jeshua?
Question: There are multiple times in Leviticus and Numbers that G-d mentions, referring to the Law, that he gave ordnances to the children of Israel, the Levites and the Aaronic priests as being forever, and lasting throughout all generations. What answer can we give in response to this as it pertains to the New Covenant superseding the Mosaic Covenant?
By the way, I loved it when you said the Old Covenant bears witness to the New Covenant. And the contrast of death vs the Spirit. The fading of the Glory on Moses' face, and the veil. Very powerful, and needs much meditation to unpack its full value!
Bless you!

@NarrowWayToLife Thank you! 👍
Fascinating. First, I hadn't considered that passage before as a possible refutation of Torahism. Excellent. Second, just as a rhetorical device, compare-&-contrast is one of my favorites & I love whenever I find them in Scripture (prime ex. opening passages of Hebrews). Good work as always, Rob, thank you. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Meaty teachings are unfortunately few & far between.
When was the Messiah conceived but during Hanukkah it is close to Xmas which is cool. You add 9 months on the Jewish calendar , It is Tishri. The closest Festaval is Tabernacles. I found in Valery Moodys Book The Feast of Adonia. She has all the Feast and Festavals and how we can do them. Not hard to understand. I'm especially love Sukkot Tabernacles because we celebrate Yeshuas birthday on the first day. Then on the 8th day Jesus is circumcised. I'm been keeping this 15 years now. I always put up a Sukkah in the yard. My husband and I both enjoy this time of year. It does teach us we are practicing living with Jesus in the Sukkah . We decorated it with Star of davids and pomegranates and fruit. Not like balls on the tree but fruit. Makes since. Then we put palm branches over the top of the Sukkah leaving room to see the stars .While we lay in our beds looking up remembering the star that leads to Jesus . Shalom talk later
I think part of the challenge here is that - Jew's, Christian, Hebrew Roots may think it is an either or proposition. Why is it not both; faith/belief and obeying the Law?
Matt. 19:16- the rich man asks what he must DO to have eternal life. Jesus does not respond by calling him a legalistic dolt, saying you can't work your way to eternal life. No, Jesus says keep the commandments and then starts listing them.
On the other end of the spectrum, Jesus didn't say 'just believe in me', that's it (John 3:16). That's all that is required. Again, No. Scripture is working in concert Matt. 19:16- , John 3:16, keep the commands and believe. Then we have John 5:45 where Jesus says "Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses". Well what is Moses going to accuse us with if the Law is done away with.
Judaism has the Law and Christianity has faith/belief/Jesus - I say we need both.
Beautiful! Thank you. Peace.
Pls explain how in Jeremiah 31:33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

In my Bible, there are additional teachings by James, Peter, John, Jude, and the author of Hebrews. They are probably in your Bible, too.

This makes absolutely perfect sense.
I like this because this point also is handy for dealing with Adventists which make big claims regarding the finger of God written on tablets of stone. They try to make a false claim that it is eternal compared to the rest of the Mosaic law, because it went inside the Ark of the Covenant etc.
Explain why the 10 commandments were written in stone by GOD himself, and placed INSIDE the ark of the covenant, and the rest of Moses laws were written in a book. ???
Why was this?
@@astutik8909you ever tried to carve stone?😂
@@astutik8909 according to ROB, all shadows???
@@astutik8909 lol I will do you one better than that. This whole Canard has been thoroughly debunked by Answering Adventism on a number of points. 1) The entire law of Moses was copied down on the parchment at least once, probably twice because it was given a second just before the death of Moses. Meaning the 10 commandments were not just on stone but also on parchment, 2) in the book of Joshua it mentions "The Law" (entire covenant) likewise was put on Stone somewhere in the very early chapters (maybe chapter 2). 3) there is another one I'm forgetting but will research if this conversation continues, the 4th point ending is the best the whole Ceremonial law vs. 10 commandments ark of the Covenant analogy false apart when you realize its ultimate implications. If such an artificial distinction were real it would imply that Children of Israel were not to teach morality to their Children!!! But this is obviously not right. The law contained more than just Ceremonial laws but actually gave more instruction on how to carry out the Decalogue. This is a point that even Adventist theologians once in a blue moon will point out in a few Adventist magazines like Review and Herald.

@TheBiblicalRoots i found this valuable in a way you probably did not intend. The issue i've been grappling with is not the Torah Roots teachings but very common evangelical teaching that to be saved one must FIRST "repent of all their sins". This seems more enslaving than the Mosaic Law because that had all the requirements clearly listed and provided forgiveness of sin thru sacrifice. What are your thoughts on that? Can you do a teaching to resolve the problem of "apparent allowance of a sinful life" for those who believe in Christ and are "Saved by Grace thru Faith"? i mean, these preachers insist that even before we receive the Holy Spirit we much reach sinless perfection, at the same time teaching that only Jesus was able to accomplish that. seems like "catch 22".
Hi Leroy! Yeah that's a really important issue. If we need to reach some sort of "sinless perfection" before we can receive the Holy Spirit, then we're all doomed! Repentance is certainly important. Jesus preached "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near" (Matt. 3:2, 4:17) and "Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15). But the NT teaches, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: *While we were still sinners,* Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).

@@TheBiblicalRoots excellent, thank you
In Acts, the first Gentile converts were never told to repent. Repentance is a change of mind. The Jews needed a change of mind about who Jesus was because they had the law and should have recognized Him as the Messiah. Gentiles didn't need to change their minds about Christ because they didn't have the law and the promises. Another thing to note about the first Gentile converts is that they received the Holy Spirit BEFORE they were baptized! The Gospel of John says he writes so that we know the truth and that we know we have eternal life. He never mentions repentance as a requirement for salvation.
@@TheBiblicalRootsAlso, the Bible never once mentions repentance of sin for salvation. (Turning from sin.) How would that even be possible for someone to turn from sin before having the gift of the Holy Spirit? Some say you have to be willing to turn from sin but that is never mentioned either.

What version of the bible is he using?

Apparently the Law of Moses.
Hi, Anonymom! If you're referring to Galatians 5:1, Paul is talking about the law of Moses. That verse comes at the very end of Paul's analogy of Sarah and Hagar (Gal. 4:21-31), in which he uses an allegory to compare Hagar ("the slave woman") to the Old Covenant law, which he says bears children for slavery (4:24). And then he says, "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery" (Gal. 5:1).

How do you refute the false teachings of those who think Paul wasn't a legitimate apostle of the Truth?
Hi Graft Me. There are two things I bring up when people want to marginalize or reject Paul. First, Jesus said this about the Apostle Paul: “This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel” (Acts 9:15). And Jesus said, “Whoever receives the one I send receives me” (John 13:20). So, to reject Paul is to reject Jesus who sent him.
Second, if we accept the parts of the Bible we agree with and reject the parts we don't, it's not the Bible we believe but ourselves.
Blessings,
Rob
Amen brother, delighted to hear this.
The Jewish people, wondering in the desert for 40 years proves that the laws will not save us because our free will traditionally overrides our blind obedience to written laws. How many times were the Jewish people exiled or punished for their disobedience? Countless. God knew that man was incapable of blind obedience, so salvation is only through the birth & death of his son. Our blind faith and relience in Jesus Christ, combined with repentance for our transgressions will lead us to full redemption & eternal life with the Father. Np matter how hard you try, you alone following written law, will never succeed, otherwise Christ taking human form was pointless.

Solomon anticipated your rationalizing:
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 "Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! For Elohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil."
This means ALL COMMANDS for ALL MANKIND.
Isaiah 24:1,3-4,6
"See, יהוה is making the earth empty and making it waste, and shall overturn its surface, and shall scatter abroad its inhabitants. ... the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for יהוה has spoken this word. The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish. ... Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left."
Why?
Isaiah 24:5 "For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot, changed the law, broken the everlasting covenant."
Hi, Kevin! 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).

@@TheBiblicalRoots Have to give response in bits as its too much for YT
going back to Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, does that include an expiration date? if so, does that means "You shall sleep with mother" also ended 2000 years ago? There's also that bit about "all mankind", so you think that excludes ppl in future?
So basically we cannot trust what a verse literally says as it may or may not apply to the reader or your understanding of what Paul wrote is wrong. If we were not to follow the old covenant, you would have thought the Messiah would have said something that important.
This new covenant is about writing the law into your heart. what law would that be if its not Torah?
All these questions I pose are rhetorical. They don't need an answer, BUT you better get your p's and q's in order when you stand before that throne of judgement hoping that Paul will back you up. He did follow Torah through his letters. He went to congregations on sabbath, he observed the major feasts. He even followed Nazarene regulations. Is that the behavior of someone who rejected old testament?
@@TheBiblicalRoots Here is a based Circular Logic you may not heard of :
Messiah said in John 14: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life" and also in John 17 "Your Word is truth” and one more time in John 18 "Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
Psalms 119 has three phrases: "Your Torah is truth" "all Your commands are truth" "sum of Your word is truth".
Also says "all Your righteous right-rulings are forever". But not to you evidentially.
Word is truth, commands are truth, who is the Truth?
Go back to Psalms 119, "Blessed are the perfect in the way, Who walks in the Torah of יהוה"
The Way is Torah, who is the Way?
Side link: "Perfect in the Way". Paul uses that word several times, one practically in Colossians 1 "in order to present every man perfect in Messiah"
Perfect in the Way, Perfect in Torah, perfect in Messiah.
Proverbs 13 "Torah of the wise is a fountain of life"
Torah is fountain of Life, who is Life?
Fountains represent water. where does one go to for water and never thirst again?
John 4 mentions the water Messiah gives "shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” This reminds me of that part of the Law written in our hearts.
And then wrapping up, go to John 1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. This signifies that our Messiah was there from the beginning as He did create all things, the Son did, but look at that last phrase: "the Word was Elohim". Usually the Work represents the Law. Few verses later "And the Word became flesh"
Word became a human, The Law, the Torah became a man. Linking back to John 14, the Messiah is stating that He is the walking breathing Torah, that gives the living water springing up into everlasting life.
So if Messiah represent Torah and you say that does not pertain to what you believe, that means that He does not represent what you believe. If you don't follow Torah, you don't follow Him. He says if you love me, keep my commands. What are those commandments if its not Torah?
You probably never heard about how those all reference each other before.
@@TheBiblicalRoots Who do you think gave Moses the Law on that mountain? it was Messiah! not His Father. So if He didn't want us to follow those commandments, He would have said something Himself.
You better hope that forever does not include right now and all mankind does not pertain to you.
Have you not studied that all believers of Messiah are joined into Israel, we make up the missing tribes spiritually. No longer gentiles. Are now heirs on Abraham. So if the Covenant is for only those of Israel, that also includes today's believers. Maybe I should have led with that from start.
@@kevinkall8547 Hi Kevin. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 does not contain a commandment. That book was written by Solomon to the Jewish people for self-reflection and to record wisdom.
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 adultery. Unfaithfulness and sexual immorality were wrong long before the Law of Moses, as we see, for example, in the story of Joseph fleeing Potiphar’s wife (Gen 39:12-18).
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 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.
Shalom,

Yes, the old covenant is gone with the renewal of the new covenant. But the Torah never passed. The Torah governs the renewed covenant as it did with the old covenant.
Paul says in Hebrews 7:12 that with the Priesthood being CHANGED, there comes a necessity of a change of the Torah law. Not a disappearance of Torah law but a change of it.
The Torah had a sacrifice, a circumcision, and a Priesthood under the old covenant. Those were animal blood sacrifice, circumcision of flesh, and the Cohen family as High Priests.
When the new covenant came at Calvary ( it was a renewed covenant made with better promises and not a new covenant) there was a change in Torah. Not a disappearance of Torah.
For the renewed covenant also has a sacrifice, circumcision, and a Priesthood. The sacrifice is now the blood of Jesus at Calvary. The circumcision is now one of the heart where Torah is written and Jesus is the High Priest after the order of the Melek Zedek or Melchizedek. Psalms 110:4.
But TORAH IS ROCK SOLID with the renewed covenant. This includes the dietary laws and the Feasts of the Lord which are prophesies of the Father's salvation through His Son.
Isaiah 66:17 is proof that the dietary laws would never disappear. And Zechariah 14:16 says the Feasts will never disappear before the new heaven and earth comes in Revelation chapter 21. And didn't Jesus mention He will not drink the elements of the Passover until it's renewed in the Kingdom.Jesus confirms this in Matthew 5:17-19. And the words " one tittle" means the dietary laws and the Biblical Feasts of Leviticus 23.
I would suggest that you rethink what you spoke about Mark 7 that the dietary laws are no longer in effect.
My friend, nothing disappeared in the Torah with the change in the Priesthood. Just a service change of the sacrifice, circumcision and Priesthood. Everything else in Torah is rock solid in the renewed covenant.
you cannot renew a covenant with blood. As soon as you introduce christs blood and death the covenant is new as there is a new testator, new testament and new priesthood from a different tribe
@@bertgoat Yes Jesus did renewed the covenant at Calvary and now it has better and more sure promises. See Hebrews 7:12.
With the Priesthood being changed, Psalms 110:4, there is a necessity to be a change in the Torah. Those changes were animal blood to that of Christ and fleshly circumcision went to one on the heart. But the Torah is still in tact and never passed with the old covenant.
@@thomasprice1320 you have no clue.
@@bertgoat You are the one without a clue.
Messiah's blood replaced animal blood and the circumcision is no longer of the flesh but of the heart. Jeremiah 31:31-34. It's all in the book of Hebrews. Maybe you should read and STUDY it.
@@thomasprice1320 I have read it. The new covenant was in christs blood, his testament because he fulfilled ALL of the the requirements of the first covenant. Why ? because we are unable. As gal 3 v19 asks why the law,? it was added because of transgressions TILL the promised seed will come. also heb 8 v 13 2 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. The gentiles rejoiced in acts 15 v 31 when they were informed they were NOT required to be circumcised and follow the law. If you wish to be a fake jew, and work for your salvation, go for it, but you risk
falling from grace and christ being of no effect for you as per galations 5 v 4
I thought he didn't have a problem with Torah observant Christians?
People who want to keep The Torah.
And we could keep Torah observance if we wanted to?
It seems like he's going back on that stance?
That was my thought as well. The way Christianity interprets the bible, I don't think Christians can follow Torah at the same time. God was clear in his expectations and those are different than man's interpretation. Perhaps people are going the way of HR because they want more than what they have been fed in Christianity. I listened in on his video with the mother from OK who shared her experience with HR. My biggest takeaway is they didn't have a good teacher...they only had their own interpretations that were steeped in Christianity. I have yet to hear a solid/valid explanation that indicates God will take issue with modern man for making an attempt to follow his Torah instructions. Jesus never taught that following Torah was a trap...if this is the end result of what Christianity is teaching, then I think there is an issue.

Hebrews 8:13
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that WHICH DECAYETH AND WAXETH OLD ( old covenant ) IS READY TO VANISH AWAY.
Text Analysis for Hebrews 8:13:
IN - SAYING, NEW, HE HAS MADE OBSOLETE THE FIRST; THAT THEN GROWING OLD AND AGING ( IS ) ( NEAR VANISHING ).
Brothers and sisters, Let's be careful not to add or remove from God's word!
Can you please show me in the scripture where it says that the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD changed the continuous tense in Hebrews 8:13 to a past perfect tense like you claimed in your video at 15:52 - 15:58?
When Jesus ascended to heaven and the Holy Spirit was given the old covenant was made obsolete, and the new covenant was established. The old covenant decayed and waxed away at that moment. Whenever the temple was destroyed doesn't matter, it was just a sign of their being a new covenant in place and that the old covenant was vanished away.
Hebrews Ch. 8,
6, "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."
13, "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."
@@LukeCh.10verse16-mb8om A covenant is an agreement or a written legal contract between two or more people. A mediator cannot have a covenant by himself.
God gave us a parallel of this in Exodus 24 with three parties involved in the old covenant ( God, Mediator/ Moses & Israelites ). A similar scenario HAS to repeat itself if we don't contradict Jeremiah 31 & 32.
Therefore, since no one can point out anywhere in the New testament where a similar scenario HAD ALREADY HAPPENED, then Hebrews 8:13 is right in using a present continuous tense of * is near VANISH ING *. It becomes VANISHED when a newly written legal contract/ covenant is in place; when God gives us a new spirit and WRITES HIS LAWS IN OUR HEARTS IN THE FUTURE MILLENNIAL REIGN AFTER THE FINAL WAR ON EARTH OF GOG AND MAGOG.

You like your Godless fathers who God rejected and accursed possess zero ability to understand Biblical truth. You will only continually reject the truth of the Bible and just go right back to your wallowing in the mire, same as your fathers who killed Jesus did.

7, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

9, But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was."
@@seedfarmer0416 A covenant ends when one party dies. Jesus died.
"Do you not know, brothers and sisters-for I am speaking to those who know the law-that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God... But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."

I agee. Many years ago I was also being led astray by judaizers. Simply labeling me "unsaved" prior to that is far too simplistic. In Galatians 5:4 Paul refers to those led astray into keeping the Law of Moses as having "fallen from grace". Paul didn't assume the Galatians were never saved, he assumed the opposite, writing "having begun by the spirit are you being perfected by the flesh" (3:3) and "you ran well, who hindered you?" (5:7).
How can one "fall from grace" if they were not in grace to begin with? It's a humbling text for sure, but one that should be taught much more often in churches than it is.
"But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law", as Galatians 5:18 to the brethren of Paul in the gospel of Christ, if you are led by the flesh you are under the law and fall from grace.
Does THAT INCLUDE murder? Because murder is part of the law? I hate this man talking here cause he talks crap!
Hi, AlRay! 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.

@TheBiblicalRoots HOW ABOUT the sabbath? Only for the JEWS?
@@TheBiblicalRoots i really missed which one IS THE SHADOW?
@@TheBiblicalRoots but the mosaic laws were never binding for the gentiles and as you rightly say there were universal laws already in place before God gave Moses the laws for Israel. Yet we learn about them through the Torah which is why it remains the standard by which everything else has to be measured by. Yet when it comes to Israel, it is the chosen people and different rules apply for them. The church has not replaced Israel and therefore we can’t claim that the Torah is not anymore binding including the mosaic laws.

@soybeanfarmer4576 yes, the Decievers Job is to get Man/Adoms to Not Follow Torah. Sin One of.man tells the Hole story in a nut shell.
Mr. Solberg I will wait patiently to have an actual dialog with you. I will also continue to post my comments on your video's in the hopes to help some understand what some of us mean by Torah obervance under the New Covenant. There is much you are not fully understanding in this video on 2 Cor. 3. Keeping Paul in context and with the understanding that Paul was Torah observant himself will help us understand what Paul is trying to teach us. We clearly see Paul was Torah observant in Acts 21:21 Paul is being accused of forsaking Moses, meaning that he is teaching that the law of Moses(laws given to Moses) were no longer needed for believers in Christ. Paul then agrees to take a vow to show that is NOT what he is teaching. Paul confesses in Acts 24:14 that he believes in all things written in the Law and the Prophets. In Acts. 24:8 Paul tells us that he is not speaking against the law nor against the temple. We find Paul, as was his custom, teaching on the Sabbath to both Jews and Gentiles in Acts 13:14, 13: 42, 44, 17:2, and 18:4. He is keeping the holy days in Acts 18:21, 20:6, and 20: 16. Clearly, Paul is still Torah observant. So, why do we twist Paul's words to make it seem like he is somehow teaching contrary to Torah observance?
It is the HOW part that we are missing. How are we to observe the Torah under the New Covenant? Understanding that the definition of sin is the transgression of the law(1 John 3:4) is key. So, if God's law is dfining sin, how can that be "done away with" or is something that should be "taken out of the way?" You correctly point out that the law was NEVER meant to "save" anyone. The law's sole purpose is to tell us what sin is, so we do not walk in it any longer. The problem is NOT God's law, it is our inability to walk it out in this fallen state! Paul teaches us in Rom. 8:7 that our carnal minds(fallen natures) are at enmity with God, why? Because in this fallen state we are not subject to the law of God, nor can we be, and this is the problem God is fixing! All the law can do is define sin, but it is powerless to make anyone obey and this is the weakness of the law! When we come to Christ, all that changes! It is through Him that we begin to change. I cannot boast in obedience to God's righteous laws, it is Christ in me that changes my desire to turn from my sin(breaking God's commandments) to obedience out of my love for Him. He gets all the glory and all the honor for it is through Christ that I begin to learn to walk righteously before Him. If you are going to attempt to walk out the righteous requirements of the law, without Christ, that is when you are walking in the letter of the law. You are attempting to earn your OWN righteousness, apart from Christ. This is what our Jewish brethren are doing today. It is through the Spirit, who leads us into all truth, that I begin to obey out of love, NOT for my salvation. My salvation is in Christ alone! Sanctification is a process. No one is "saved" until we are clothed with our resurrected bodies. This is what is meant by walking in the Spirit and the Spirit giving us life! Life comes from obedience, death comes from disobedience.
Now we can begin to unpack 2 Cor. 3. So lets start with verse 3, which you skipped over. "Clearly ou are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of flesh, that is of the heart." We see here Paul teaching us that under the New Covenant, God is doing a new thing, He is writing His laws on our hearts, no longer on tablets of stone. This is because God has always wanted obedience, but out of our love for Him, not for our attempt to "save" ourselves. Our sufficiency is from God, not from ourselves. He is making us ministers of the New Covenant through His Spirit, NOT of the letter of the law, which is attempting to walk out the law in your fallen state, without Christ! Which cannot be done! The Spirit gives life and it is the Spirit that leads you to obedience. Under the law, what brings death and what brings life? Disobedience brought death, but obedience brings life!! And this is the job of the Spirit! You walk in obedience as the evidence of the faith you have placed in Christ. It is Christ that is doing the work in you, so that no one can boast.
In verse 7 Paul is saying what was written and engaved on stone was a ministry of death. What was written on stone? The 10 commandments, correct? So, is Paul telling us that the 10 commandments is a ministry of death? Of course not, that would not make any sense. Paul than goes on to say what was written on stone was glorious. So, what would make the 10 commandments become a ministry of death? They would only become a ministry of death when you are in disobedience to them because the wages of sin(disobedience) is death. Under the Old Covenant, a temporary sacrificial system had to be put in place to cover our disobedience. But the blood of bulls and goats could never take away our sins. So, while we received the commandments under the Old Covenant, and those commandments were glorious, this temporary system to cover our sins had to pass away. Paul goes on to contrast the Old vs. New Covenant. Under the New Covenant, we obey through the power of the Spirit who works in us and begins to write the law on our hearts. Changing our desire from disobedience to obedience! Through obedience we receive life! This is why this New Covenant is more glorious, because the law is being written on our hearts and is the glory that excels over the Old Covenant where the law was written on tablets of stone. Under the Old Covenant, there was condemnation when you were in disobedience, a death sentenace was owed. But under the New Covenant, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Why? Because that condemnation, that death sentence was paid for. This is why the ministry of righteousness exceeds in glory. The liberty that Christ provides is from sin(disobedience) NOT from His Father's righteous laws. Please stop making God's law the problem. The problem is our fallen natures, NOT God's righteous laws. We walk in obedience through Christ and the Holy Spirit, who give us the power to overcome sin! Our obedience is the evidence that we have placed our faith in Christ!

Hi, ROAT. Just an FYI that I rarely read comments as long as this. I typically read the first line or two and then move on. It's an issue of time for me. In the case of this comment, I am responding to your suggestion that Paul was Torah observant even after his conversion. He wrote,
"For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings." ( 1 Cor. 9:19-23)
Blessings, Rob
@@kimartist I am pretty sure you and I have had conversations before and they never go anywhere. But I will see if we can dialog. Let's start with Rom. 6:14. To get some context for this statement we need to start at the beginning of the chapter. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly Not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? The scriptural definition of sin can be found in 1 John 3:4 which tells us that sin is the transgression of the law. We are not to live in sin any longer once we place our faith in Christ, but that is Him doing the work in us! My walk in obedience is NOT my own righteousness as it is Christ who is doing this work. We are no longer slaves to sin, which is trangressing the law, we are slaves to righteousness, which is walking within God's rigthteous commandments according to Ps. 119:172.
I agree, we are not under the law, but what does it mean to be under the law? Rom. 3:19 gives us the answer. "Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are "under the law". that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world my become guilty before God." This verse is telling you that we are all guilty before God. Why? Because in this fallen state, it is not possible to walk within the righteous requirements of the law. The phrase "under the law" means you are under the penalty of the law and are condemned to death for we are in violation of it and therefore guilty before God. And this is the problem God is fixing! He is NOT doing away with His righteous commandments, He is fixing our fallen natures and our inablility to walk within it. How? Through Christ, who lived out the righteous requirements of the law in the flesh, not so we don't have to, but so we can be represented in Him and no longer fallen Adam. Rom. 3: 31 tells us: "Do we then make void the law through faith? Certianly Not! On the contrary, We establish the law!" This verse is telling you that we stand on the law. Why? So we know what sin is and we know what not to do anymore.
The evidence that you have placed your faith in Christ is an obedient life. Before you come to Him, you are in disobedience. We must confess that we are sinners and then repent. Repentance means doing a 180 and return to obedience, but this is the work of Christ living inside of you and not of your own strength, lest anyone should boast.
Rom. 6:15 is telling us that we are no longer under the penalty of the law, we are under grace. Grace is given because we are still in this fallen state. God now begins a work in you once you have accepted His Son as your Messiah. This is why this verse is telling you we will not continue to sin. Does that mean we will not make mistakes? Of course not, and this is why grace is given. It is given as we learn to walk in obedience. We will need that grace, because of our fallen natures. But God does not leave us without hope. He gives us the Holy Spirit who will lead you into all truth. Truth, as defined by scripture, is found in Ps. 119:142, and 151.
Lastly, Gal. 5:18. Now that we have defined what is meant by the phrase "under the law" as being under the penalty of the law. We can now better understand this verse. When we are being led by the Spirit, are we being led to obedience or disobedience? Obedience, of course! When you are walking in obedience, than the law can no longer condemn you. The law can only condemn you when you are in violation of it. We walk out the rightous requirments of the law, through the Spirit, NOT by the flesh. This is the work of the Spirit! Verse 16 of the same chapter confirms this. When we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, which are in disobedience to the law.
I think the negative view of the law comes from those who do not understand that there are changes to the law under the New Covenant. I am not one of those who subscribe that we are still under all the laws given to Moses. All the Levitical laws and sacrificial system were temporary in nature and did not come about until after the sin of the golden calf. They were put in place to show us our need for a savior. The law is holy, just, and good. It is NOT this burdensome thing that we must do in order to save ourselves. We obey out of love and it is the evidence of the faith we have placed in Christ.
@@RestorationofallThings TL;DR (too long; didn't read = that's not a dialogue; it's a monologue!) I've given my stance, gleaned from New Testament Scripture. We Christians are not under the law; not now, not ever. Period. When you have a clear position, no need to endlessly obfuscate or bloviate 👋

2 Corinthians 3:6-18 Q&A
Q1.what is the new covenant that God made Paul and Timothy able ministers of?
A1. It is the covenant that has been renewed or reconfirmed from generation to generation, from Adam and Eve (Ge 3:15) all the way to Jesus’ death on the cross in A.D. 31 (Dan 9:27,Ps 105:8-10, Gal 3:17)
Q2. Is the letter a component of the New Covenant?
A2. There are many texts throughout scripture that prove that the New Covenant is not just Spirit, but that it consists of both Spirit and letter. ( Jn 4:23-24, 17:17, Mt 5:17-19, Ro 3:31, Ro 7:12-16, 2Ti 3:16-17. Scripture, letter and truth are synonymous.
Q3. What does Paul mean when he says “not of the letter “?
A3. One of the things I think Paul is saying, is that their sufficiency to be ministers of the New Covenant is not by the “letter of the law” but by the Spirit of the law. Also, that as a minister of the New Covenant, he is teaching people that their ability or sufficiency in whatever they do is also not based on the letter, but on the Spirit. In other words, keep the letter through the power of the Spirit and to not try to keep the “letter” through or by the letter.
Q4. Can “the letter” in and of itself kill?
A4. It is the Spirit behind the letter that kills. The letter is God’s word and it is God who enforces His word.
Q5. What is it that the letter kills?
A5. God through His letter is going to destroy or kill sin, Jn 15:6
Q6. Why is it that God through His letter will kill us?
A6. Because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, Ro 3:23.
Q7. How do we get life from the Spirit?
A7. By WALKING after the Spirit. Ro 8:1, Gal 5:16
Q8. Where does the Spirit lead us ?
A8. The Spirit will lead us to keep the “letter” Ro3:31, but it is not as though the Spirit sends us away to keep the “letter “ but rather the Spirit working through us to keep the letter. Gal 2:20
Q9. What is the “ministration of death”
A9. In order to harmonize 2Cor 3:7-18 with Mt 5:7-19, Ro 3:31, and Ro 7:12-16, we must find something other than just the Ten Commandments as being the “ministration of death” . The Ten Commandments are the foundation of the ministration of death, but within it is the actual physical actions being administered against the offender or violator of the Ten Commandments which were written in stone.
But for those who were truly sorry for their sins, God, through His mercy provided a substitute for these actual physical actions to be administered upon instead of the actual offenders themselves. These substitutes were bullocks, goats, heifers, lambs, rams, all of which represented Jesus. So basically what Paul is saying here in 2 Cor 3:6-18 is that if the crucifixion of animals was glorious, how much more glorious is the crucifixion of Jesus. The sacrifices were only glorious as they represented Jesus as the one who would eventually die for our sins.
Q10. What is the “ministration of the Spirit”
A10. The ministration of the Spirit is the offering up of Christ through the Spirit for the sins of the world, instead of the offering of beasts. Heb 9:13-14, Titus 3:4-5
Q11. What is the “ministration of righteousness “?
A11. The ministration of righteousness is the forgiveness of past sins (Ro 3:25) and provision to keep us from sinning in the future ( 1Jn 2:1, Jude 1:24, Jn 15:1-11, Heb 12:2-11, and also forgiveness for future sins to be repented of. It is impossible for the ministration of death to take away sins (Heb 10:4, but it is possible for the ministration of the Spirit/Righteousness to take away sins.
Q12. Who is not as Moses which put a veil over his face?
A12. Paul and Timothy (2 Cor 1:1)
Q13. Why did Moses veil his face?
A13. Because the people were afraid. Ex 34:30.
Q14. What was it that made the people afraid?
A14. It was Moses’ shiny face that made them afraid. Ex 34:30
Q15. What was it that made Moses’ face shine?
A15. It was the Gospel. Prophecy of Exodus 12:1-14,46 fulfilled in Jn 19:31-36, 1 Cor 5:7, 1Pe 1:19.
Prophecy of Ex 24:8 fulfilled in Heb 9:11-28.
Q16. Why were the people afraid of Moses’ shining face?
A16. Because of their pride and sin, they were afraid of the light. Therefore Moses put a veil over his own face so that the people would come near to hear the instructions of the Lord (Ex 34:32) and as a result, they could not see the gospel light of Christ, which was a fulfillment of the animal sacrifices (Ex 29:10-46 that Moses was now commanding them to perform in Ex 34:32. They could not see the light at the end of the animal sacrifices which were to be abolished. All they could see was a sacrificed animal instead of seeing a crucified and risen Saviour.
The feasts of Firstfruits, which was one of the ordinances that Moses gave to the people after covering his face ( Ex 23:16-19, 34:22-26 & 1Cor 15:20-23) carried the symbol of the crucified and risen Saviour, yet they could not see the hope that Paul is speaking of in 2Cor 3:12. They also failed to see that when the earthly high priest put on his holy garments (Ex 28) that it represented a heavenly high Priest.
The glory of the gospel is painful and terrifying to those who do not want to turn from their sins, because the glory of God is a consuming fire(Heb 12:29) .
Q17. Which one will be more painful to look upon if we have sin in our hearts: the “ministration of death” or the “ministration of the Spirit” which is even more glorious?
A17. Heb 10:26-31
Q18. Who can we and should we find when we read Moses?
A18. Jesus is who we can and should see (Luke 24:27,44, John 1:45). It is not the mere reading of Moses that covers their hearts, but it is the veil of pride, sin, and unbelief. While Moses put a veil over his face, Moses and his writings are not the veil but a revelation of Jesus, the light of the world.
Q19. What was the life that Moses set before the people (Deuteronomy 30:15-20)?
A19. Love for God and obedience to His commandments, in other words: the letter with the Spirit gives life.
Q20. What was the death that Moses set before the people (Deuteronomy 30:15-20?
A20. It is “the letter” without the Spirit of God that brings on cursing and death, because without the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit we cannot be in harmony with “the letter”.
Moses put a veil over his face so they wouldn't see the glory FADE. The glory of the Old Covenant faded even then because it was temporary. It was the fading of the glory that freaked them out.
@@graftme3168
Nowhere in the actual account(Ex 34) does it say that the glory was fading or that the people saw the glory fading.
Does this mean that before Christ's ressurection there was no ministration of the Spirit?
Yes
No. The *same* promise of righteousness/blessing being a free gift of God’s grace to His elect people received through faith alone (i.e., as the result of regeneration/new birth by the Holy Spirit) has been operative ever since it was first revealed in Genesis 3:15, and later confirmed to Abraham: “Then he believed in Yahweh; and He counted it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). This is the *only* way that anyone has ever been justified in God’s sight, even during the age of the Mosaic Covenant (i.e., while it was still in effect), which Paul refers to as the “ministry of death” and “ministry of condemnation.” Paul is simply drawing the contrast between relying upon obedience to the Mosaic Law (which condemns everyone who violates even one of its precepts - James 2:10) and relying upon Christ alone by faith (who fulfilled the active/passive righteousness demanded by the Mosaic Law on our behalf).
The New Covenant is simply the historical *fulfillment* of the same gracious promise that was given to Abraham, which is why Paul says: “And what I am saying is this: the [Mosaic] Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God [i.e., the Abrahamic Covenant], *so as to abolish the promise.* For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise, *but God has granted it to Abraham through promise.”* (Galatians 3:17-18)

10 commandment was never called the law of Moses. The law of Moses was written in a book and placed beside the Ark of Covenant. You may want to review your interpretation because you are making Paul contracting Jesus in Matt 5:17-19 and even you are making Paul contracting himself in Rom13:9. He still uphold the moral law of God long after the cross.
@@jefferywilfred1678 John 7:19
the context here is what was engraved on stones or tablets if not the 10 commandments?
@@ericmakau7519 You cannot build your theology on that one line. Compare this with other of verses and see whether your interpretation is correct.
“So He declared to you His Covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.” Moses speaking - Deuteronomy 4:13
Moses is calling the Covenant that God has with Israel the Ten Commandments.
So he was there with the LORD 40 days and 40 nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments. - Exodus 34:28
So, you suggest circumcision of the heart is by the Spirit, not by the written code. But, that would have had to have already been true under the Old Covenant, because circumcission of the heart is a lawful requirement found written in torah which God says he will perform on his people.
And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Deuteronomy 30:6
However, apparently man plays a role in this process too, because torah also instructs us to circumcise the foreskin of our heart as well.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
It’s also why Jeremiah 4:4 discusses the idea long before mentioning anything about the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Jeremiah 4:4
In fact, there is no specific mention of circumcision of either heart or flesh in the wording of the New Covenant, unless one reasons that the “torah” in its entirety is being written in man’s heart. Seeing the Hebrew word Torah is being translated “law” in English there. So, what you argue from Paul concerning circumcision of the heart is originally an Old Covenant idea, not something new at all. So, if you argue against the word “torah” in Jeremiah 31 translated law as being some new or different law, then Paul’s idea of circumcising the heart is without basis under the New Covenant in the argument you are presenting there.
Okay, but your appeal to Ezekiel and the replacing the heart of stone with a new heart in Ezekiel 11 and 36 was not the time of the cross. These are clearly prophecies about a future time after God gathers his people back into their own land at the Second Coming of Christ, further suggesting we are not yet under the New Covenant. Hence, explaining why from Ezekiel chapter 37, and 40-48 we are returning to Old Covenant lawful practices in another earthly sanctuary. You see, Professor Solberg, God is going to resolve the problems he has with us under the Old Covenant before he brings us under the New Covenant. By the time the thousand years is over, we will have gone through the lawful practices so much that they will be written in our new heart. Then and only then will we be under the New Covenant for real.
Okay, if the ministry of righteousness exceeds the ministry of condemnation, then why are Christians everywhere still complaining they cannot overcome sin and live a holy, righteous life? It is simply because we are not yet under the New Covenant. Christianity would not be complaining today if we were no longer under the ministry of condemnation that sin still ravages their lives. Paul could not have anticipated this simple problem shatters his misapplication of the New Covenant in his day. He simply got the timing of when we are under the New Covenant all wrong, confusing himself and everyone else who reads his and the author of Hebrews 8’s mistaken assessment of the covenants. If you thought condemnation was a horrific thing under a ministry of condemnation and of lesser glory, how much greater will the condemnation of your sins be when God writes his law in your heart under the New Covenant leading to your own heart condemning you??? Christians who insist they are under the New Covenant today and complaining about sin need to think that one over carefully, because under the New Covenant we are supposed to be doing a lot better than the Jews did under the Old Covenant, but we are sinning and dying as much if not more than they did.
Another indication we are not yet under the New Covenant is Jeremiah 31:34. There simply won’t be all this teaching about God under the New Covenant as, you, Professor Rob are engaging in today, along with countless other teachers throughout the Christian realm. Teaching of such a nature is openly discontinued under the New Covenant provision of Jeremiah 31:34, so why are there all these teachers today trying to tell us about God and his covenants? Because we are not under the New Covenant today, plain and simple. You won’t need anyone to teach you about God after God writes his law in your heart, you will already know everything you need to know about God, making the need for teaching in that area quite irrelevant.
In your video you state "God made a covenant with "Israel" and gave them the law to serve as the terms of that covenant. if Israel obeyed the law they would keep the covenant and reap blessings" can you clarify this more as Israel did not exist on the map during that time. Are you referring to Israel (Jacob) the son of Isaac and his 12 tribes? the ancient Israelite which would be the sons of Israel (Jacob) settled in the land of Canaan.
Hi Baysick. When I say "Israel," I'm referring to Exodus 19, where God said, "“This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself." (Exod. 19:3-4). The covenant and the law were given to the Israelites who were rescued from slavery in Egypt, and 40 years after Sinai, would inherit their own land.
Blessings,
Rob
Obedience to the Churches teachings is a basic...
Professor Rob,
What bible translation do you mainly use for your videos?
Hi, David. Most often I’ll use the ESV or NIV in my videos.
Best, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Very clear reading of the verses if it is the ESV
One Ribbi said they go to cemetery not simanary . Teaches death.
The Narrow Gate
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell[f] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
The Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
True Disciples
21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
So, Professor, if the letter kills, and we are no longer under that old ministration of death, but the Spirit gives life, then the obvious question to ask is why are we still dying after the cross? Yeah the Spirit is giving so much life that we are dying at a greater rate today than they were back before the cross. I mean, honestly! So, your appeal to verse 5 is our first indication that Paul and the author of Hebrews 8 ushered in the New Covenant way way way too soon. Paul even asked death where its sting was in another passage he wrote to the Corrinthians, and Paul is not alive today, because death answered Paul boldly and took his life. But, that shouldn’t have happened if we are no longer under the MINISTRATION OF DEATH but under a more glorious Ministration of the Spirit who brings life! Paul should be alive today, and now we need rationalizations and desperate excuses to explain why Paul died after asking death where its sting was. All this to avoid the fact that we are very much still under the Old Covenant today and not yet under this other New Covenant that is supposed to be of the Spirit and brings life rather than death.
This should be a sobering wake up call to those who follow Paul and the author of Hebrews 8 blindly into the New Covenant that simply isn’t here yet. The New Covenant is not going to come to us until after the houses of Israel and Judah are reunited in Ezekiel 37, that is why God is making his New covenant with those two houses in Jeremiah 31:31-34. As Zechariah 11 points out, the brotherhood of Judah and Israel was being broken, not reunited, back at the cross. There will not be disunion between these two houses under the New Covenant like we see today, because God’s law will be written in our hearts and will guide and unify us, rather than separate us. Christ took the kingdom away from the Israelites in Matthew 21, he left unto them their house desolate in Matthew 23. He wasn’t making a New Covenant with anyone, let alone either house of Israel or Judah at that time. Far from it, and the sooner people realize this, the sooner we can stop being rediculous and get things back on track here by realizing we are still very much under the Old Covenant. We don’t even receive a New Heart until Christ returns and gathers his people back into their own land in Ezekiel 11 and 36. God has to get rid of the stony heart of Zechariah 7 and Ezekiel 11 and 36 first, before he can write his law in our heart under the New Covenant, because the condition of the stony heart is the refusal of people to even hear God’s law as God himself explains in Zechariah 7. So, the New Covenant is clearly intended for a future time as the prophecies declare. The problem is that Paul and the author of Hebrews 8 thought those prophecies would all come to pass in their days, and they sadly didn’t come to pass, not even close!
So, Professor, if eternal life can only be found by placing faith in Christ alone, because Paul argues against looking to the Hebrew Scriptures to find eternal life, then how is it that when asked how one obtains eternal life, Christ refused to say, “Just have faith in me and your eternal life is secured? What Christ responded with instead was as follows:
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
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.
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS??? Is he joking, or is he deadly serious?? Sorry, but That’s not the “Forget the works of the law and just have faith” mantra we are constantly told is how man is saved and obtains eternal life. By all accounts, the Savior would be accused by most Christians of telling a fib here because of the antiworks teachings of Paul. But, Christ continues conversing with this guy further,
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 19:18-19
Christ is recommending ideas above which are from the ten commandments. Doesn’t Christ know that Paul doesn’t believe that keeping the commandments can save us because these are all part of the MINISTRATION OF DEATH by Paul’s estimation, not a Ministration of Life? Or, is it closer to the truth to say that Christ is being completely consistent with his ideas in Matthew 4:4 where Christ insists that man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, seeing God is the one speaking the ten commandments with his mouth in Exodus 20??? And if Christ thinks we can live by the ten commandments God is speaking with his mouth, is it really a Ministration of Death, or is it a Ministration that instead leads to life, suggesting that the actual Ministration of death is more our refusal to live according to what God commands, namely our disobedience, not God’s covenant!
And even after the cross, Christ comes back again in Revelation 22:12-14 arguing that only commandment keepers will have right to the tree of life, further remaining consistent with his above conclusions in Matthew 4:4 and Matthew 19:16-19 as well. How long can those who refuse to keep the commandments expect their life to be, if they are given no access to the tree of life because they are not commandment keepers like those Christ is offering the tree of life to in Revelation 22:14? Because everyone else in verse 15 appears to be stuck outside the Holy City with zero access to the tree of life, probably wondering why they even listened to Paul in the first place who is robbing them of their eternal life with his antiworks rhetoric. So, when Christ said to search the Scriptures to find eternal life in Christ it was because Christ recommends commandment keeping, and because Christ is our example to follow, not Paul.
Okay, so now you want to say the law of Moses isn’t just some ancient code we can toss out, but if you and Paul insist that eternal life is not obtained through keeping the law of Moses, what is going to compel people to hold on to it? Christians quickly become minimalists and argue that they will only adhere to what is absolutely necessary to safeguard their eternal life. They aren’t going to buy into holding on to something you and Paul are insisting is irrelevant to their eternal life. The only good reason to hold on to the law of Moses is if it is still essential to their salvation and obtaining right to the tree of life as Christ points out in Matthew 19:16-19 and Revelation 22:12-14. So, the real reason we do not toss it out is because there really is a law that could in fact help to bring salvation. What Paul should have argued is that the law alone does not bring salvation, because obedience to the law is only part of the salvation equation. It is how we cooperate with Christ in order to be saved, but Christ has his own part to play in our salvation, which involves the use of his blood for the remission of sins and also to protect us from the accusations of Lucifer in Revelation 12 who is the “accuser of the brethren”. And ultimately, we are not the judge of our own salvation, God is! So, the mercy by which we are saved and granted access to the tree of life through comes from God, not from us. And why does Christ show mercy and grant them right to the tree of life in Matthew 19:16-19 and Revelation 22:12-14, because they keep the commandments as he requires of anyone he gives eternal life to. So, we can’t be saved and obtain eternal life without obeying the commandments, and we can’t be saved and obtain eternal life without the help of Christ who helps us to find remissionof sins through his blood and through God who extends mercy in our case from the judgment seat when he sees we are meeting the former conditions.
Let me explain why God gave us the 10 Laws,the ten stop signs if you want.
They are not there as a punishment but as a deterrent and if you live them you get rewarded, if you decide to sin instead and disregard GOD like a bad child then you get the punishment. A hard way indeed, to be left out here without GOD to protect you.
Do you think that there are 2 billion Christians on the narrow hard path or are they all running up the broad road with no rules? Pick a line here and a lime there and make another denomination right?
God's law is the cleaner for the heart and once its clear GOD'S spirit will be there to protect and guide you. God does not live with sin,GOD does not but if you turn back and take up the covenant offer, to obey the commandments, GOD will forgive you
This man of God does not know the difference between the word testament and covenant, only the Ten Commandments were written in stone as a covenant Exodus 34:28 while the Old Testament had six hundred and thirteen laws, he seems to use them interchangeable which becomes the error in his theology although what he is saying that we do not obey the Old Testament nor the Ten Commandments in stone is correct, therefore this creates a confusion if you do not specify what was written in stone from 11 Corinthians 3:3-9 is the Ten Commandments in stone as the law of God, this is the letter that kills, not the Old Testament, as you cannot use these names interchangeable and thing you are talking about the same thing. The Law of God was written by the finger of God, the Old testament is the law of Moses written by the pen that Moses wrote with, not the same thing, two different laws.
The laws was giving to show us sin in our lives. To correct us. Now do you see
Why does the gospel teach that we absolutely have to obey the Law of Mosea but the one who came along after teaches the opposite and has done away with GOD AND HIS LAWS?
What you do not, and cannot understand is, you are completely spiritually dead and blind. No amount of scripture given or explained to you will mean nor change a thing. You are just a brute beast made to be destroyed as all your completely ignorant comments show. Repent, and cry out to God/Jesus for mercy.
"But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;" 2 Peter 2:12 KJV

@John3.36 do you understand Matthew gospel chapter 13?
The teacher left the message in the gospel,the wheat, the message to repent and take up the commandments and foght the satan out from within and then Paul the one who said be saw Yehoshua in the desert(Matthew chapter 24). Left the tares.
Can you not see,you deny GOD'S instructions? And listen to a man who said he saw an angel of light that told him what to do, BUT this guy has absolutely no witness to the event and you believe him.
The gospel teacher is amazing and cares.

New Covenant Whole Gospel:
Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below.
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8, 3:16? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those now in the New Covenant.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Matthew 13:52
Then he added, “Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.”8 “Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.[d] 9 And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your Father. 10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you must be a servant. 12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Why are you takeing up for liars????
And why do you seek to back up lies?
It literally says that the law is forever and that it is of life.
Paul literally said the opposite of God and said the knowledge of the law is what made him want to sin.
If you find yourself opposing Paul, you have missed the entire message of the New Testament.

That's not true at all, and I challenge you to back those words up (hear publicly.)
Jesus, ( who is not God, ) but a angel foretold to come.....came, and so did all the false prophets- like Paul and many others who came to distort the face of jesus by putting a godman Mask on him.
- Paul is a false apostle, he is the ravenous wolf of Benjamin who is a ravenous wolf in sheeps clothing who was foretold to come......
If your willing to have a kosher conversation, then I am willing to explain everything to you-
And to give you the antidote to the lies..........please Hear Gods words - not my words, or the words of men....I will use the words of God to prove and to disprove.

Paul never spoke to Jesus you're going off of his say so.
The New Testament proves Paul never spoke to Jesus
@yashawngray9289 I didn't say Paul spoke to Jesus. If you actually read my comment, it refers to Ananias being told by Jesus that Paul was His chosen instrument. Acts 9:15. But maybe that is just Luke's say so. He wrote Acts, ... or he says he did. Maybe you don't believe John 13:20, either. Maybe Revelation is just John's say so. However, if indeed, Paul was chosen by Jesus, then in rejecting Paul, you are rejecting the One who sent him. Something to consider. I would be very interested in your explanation of how the New Testament proves Paul never spoke to Jesus.

Eph 2:8-10 For by grace are you saved through faith and that is not your accomplishmemt it's the gift of G d but not of works should any man gloat. We are his workmenship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which G d before ordained we should walk in them.
The laws are the Messanic teachings and laws and customs. Faith first . Can a person just have faith and no works., G d forbid we uphold the law.
What are the parameters for the new covenant in jer and ez? I would suggest it's your body. No longer able to sin. Laws stays the same. Jesus is resurrected and in the new covenant the first fruits.
What is ( present tense) passing away, not passed away but passing away.
Abba says he instruction are life, good for you.
Jesus Yeshua wore a tzitzit on his prayer shaw. Remember the women with the issue of blood. She thought of I could touch the hem of his cloak I will be healed.
Another scripture says grab hold of a Jew and be healed.
The Church is the pillar and bulwark of a truth...1 Tim 3:15
If you have a proper understanding of the Church.
I see a problem in you which is expressed in your facial and bodily. Expression. You should be more truthful and respectful when speaking about the Law or letter that y you refer too the ministry of death. These. Were written with the finger of God and should NEVER be referred as Moses Law. They are God’s Law Never Moses Law. So watch yuh mouth and the dribble Thais proceeding therefrom. This is only the beginning of this conversation
”Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures *as well as* _________.”“
Matthew 13:52
Matt 5 Jesus said I didn't come to abolish the law or the Prophets. Tell heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle will pass from the law tell all be fulfilled. Who soever men teach the least of these commandments will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven but whoso ever teach to do them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
You said oh, I love Jesus right? But you never follow his words. You follow peterwards so who's your god
With all due respect....
Law of god is unchageble and holy.
10comandments they still stand strong.
What had changed from old to new is sacrifice and offerings for sin has been done away-jesus was perfect sacrifice.
When Jesus died, the vail of most holy was riped from top to the bottom by God and from than on we can go to the presence of the god in spirit ad truth ourselfs vs one prist once a year.
That why we need to be repented and be baptised.
Failed to mention is what is the duty of holy spirit:john16:7,8,9,10,11
Holy spirit convinces us of sin,in old testament, law convinced us of sin.
That's why Romans 6nd 7 are so important to understand because Paul indirectly reflect sermon on the mount in his writing.
So,if holy spirit convinces ud of the sin than 10Commandments FROM GOD are still in action.
My question to all is this;what happens to this:Remember to keep the Sabbath holy？
Brother Solberg uses mostly the term "Jesus". Paul uses mostly the term "Christ".
And when scripture uses the term "Jesus Christ" Solberg uses "Jesus".
Now I love Jesus! However we have four words.
Jesus,
Jesus Christ and
Christ,
Christ Jesus.
Thank you brother Solberg for pointing to the new covenant.
BTW I knew a godfearing norwegian man from Drammen with name Immanuel Solberg. He gave me the scripture
Psalms 25:12-14:
12 What man [is] he who fears the LORD? He shall teach him in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD [is] with those who fear Him; and He will show them His covenant.
Are you his descendant?
I don't know if I'm related to Immanuel, but I have met quite a few Solbergs while visiting Norway!

Thank you again for pointing to the New Covenent and for pointing to Christ.
Perhaps you also have a Video that points to the current Gospel 1COR.15 1to8.
Thank you very much!
Read Deuteronomy chapter 30,the Law is written in your heart so you obey the ten commandments!
Paul forgot to read Ezekiel chapter 18 or Isaiah chapter 56 to 58.
You will never understand Paul without a good understanding of TORAH.
Romans 3:1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Hebrews 5:12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat
Acts 7:38 This is he(Moses), that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
I'm staying in Messanic teachings. I'm out of the church. Constantine was the one that changed the Judicial biblical laws and customs. Methra the Sun god was worshipped on Sunday. And his birthday is on Dec 25th.
If we avoid any celebration on a day that "a god" was born, we'd never be able to get out of bed! 😂😂
That's right they are trying to turn us all back to the Old Testament which was the first beast that received the deadly wound, Just like it says it would happen in Rev 13:12 He used this power to make everyone living on the earth worship the first beast. The first beast was the one that had the death wound that was healed". Israel is healed to turn us all back to the Old Testament and are behind the cbdc where you can not buy or sell without it.
No, the old testament is not beast spoken of in Revelation Ch. 13. This beast has the name of blasphemy. The old testament is not blasphemy. And, the statement, rise up out of the sea, refers to it coming from mankind. The sea represents the nations and the people of the world. Also, all the world has never and does not now wonder after the old testament. The world wonders after all of Godless mankind's false religions and deceptions.
The beast refers to babylon and to all its deceptions (blasphemy) that have deceived mankind throughout the old testament age. The birth of america was the rebirth of babylon, it was the deadly wound being healed.
Revelation Ch.13,
1, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2, And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3, And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
Not *under* the old covenant… what are our new prepositions to the old covenant?
Beyond? Above? Outside of? …?
We are not under the old or the new covenant. Those are Israel's covenants. They don't get their new covenant until they get their sins forgiven, which isn't until Christ returns to earth. Acts 3:19, Hebrews 8:12.
Do You admit that Paul taught the total opposite of the gospel teaching about keeping the commandments right?
That Yehoshua the teacher never taught a word Paul taught,right?
Be honest
GOD IS OUR witness always
Of course I don't agree with that, LoM. I agree with the Bible. Jesus said about the apostle Paul: "He is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel" (Acts 9:15). If you reject Paul, you reject Jesus.
Shalom, RLS
@TheBiblicalRoots so my teacher Yehoshua from the gospel talked to Paul? 70 years later?
Why would GOD change the teaching GOD just sent his Yehoshua to tell the LOST SHEEP OF ISRA'EL?
Why would GOD send Yehoshua the gospel teacher, on a mission to teach that we all must absolutely commit to obeying the 10 commandments, even if it means must cut our hand off or poke out our own eye to stop from breaking the 10 in any way, even in thoughts. (Remember what God told Cain? You can stop sin at the door before it even becomes a thought).
The teacher who did nothing without GOD'S leave, sent by God in GOD'S name taught the law of Moses is for his brother and sisters. I guess your not in our family? Your not of Yehoshua's family, not of them?
@TheBiblicalRoots I absolutely reject all books after the Mattan gospel, the Hebrew name for the Matthew gospel. That is the gift from God, a call to repent and come home, God is calling his lost ones who were expelled into the world so long ago, lost among the idol worshipers, even thinking we were one of them. Until, until we hear God's truth and our hearts open up to realize where our roots come from . We are Abraham's descendants, we love the law of Moses, the book devarim/Deuteronomy
It is right through all books in the Bible till the cross was invented, when the TARES were sowed!
Why would Yehoshua say in the gospel for YOU to get away from him, he never knew you, YOU who break GOD'S LAWS?
Who was the teacher talking to?
Jesus yalked about a nee temple too. He said it would be the temple of his body and that they that worship God then would do so in Spirit and in Truth.
My spirit rejoyce then you proclaim the Word of God.
Psa 25:14
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

The law only point us to show us our sins. It doesn't save you. Only Yeshua Jesus. Where does works or laws come in. I means you prove your love for G d and thanking G d by keeping the commandments . See you love G d so there for we desire to please G d and keeping his laws. Isiah 64 : 6 we are considered unclean if you say you depend on laws or works to save. As long as you depend on Jesus totally for salvation you do good. Then we say thank you Aabba a do things to please him. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Don't be lawless
Your teachings are a complete misunderstanding of the word of God. Base you’re basically regurgitating the doctrine of dispensationalism, which is a doctrine of demons. I’m sorry, sir you seem very put together, but you will be held accountable for the teachings and the misleading you are leading people away from the law of Moses.
First you say we are living under grace .
Then you say we are living under the New Covenant .
Have you not seen all the guidelines that must be meet to verify to us that the New Covenant is here ?
1 Israel and Judah must become one .
2 The Messiah will be physically on earth ruling Israel and Judah.
Many more things must be fulfilled.
Sorry but as many so often do you don’t read the entire word before jumping to conclusions.
Stop telling people we don't obey G ds laws.
Thy law have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee . Do you remember memorizing this scripture. I do. I'm not listening to your lies.
Sun god worship is Methra and his birthday is on Dec. 25th. You worship a pagan god. You for get G ds commandments in keeping the Shabbat rest day on the 7th day. Do I need to go on. In John it says if you love me you will keep my commandments , People first get the mot out of your own eye and then you will see clear to get mot from your brothers eye. Nomos means law and Anomos is without law. Means wicked. Now do you see. Sorry . Praying for you .Shalom
Hi Colleen! 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).
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).
