We are walking in today: Yahweh's Standard--The Torah
Witness hear O Israel throughout the Bible: H8085 shama`to hear (perceive by ear), to hear of or concerning,to hear with attention or interest
H3478 Yisra'el Israel = "God prevails", the second name for Jacob given to him by God after his wrestling with the angel at Peniel,the name of the descendants and the nation of the descendants of Jacob, the name of the nation until the death of Solomon and the split into the Northern and Southern kingdoms
Deuteronomy 5:1, 6:4, 9:1, 20:3; Mark 12:29
Unfortunately, Christianity has a poor understanding of the Torah. Due to the early church fathers seeking to divorce every bit of Hebraic culture from practices of the believers in Christ Jesus. This is where the harsh view of the Torah as law stems from. It is this lack of understanding of His original intent, His purpose and plan for our lives, that we are in this current state. Confusion, frustration and desires all out of control due to the lack of instruction of how we are to live and relate to one another and to Him. Because of this view as a harsh, difficult thing, the law of Yahweh has been thrown out much to our detriment. The absurd idea that the law of Elohim is no longer valid shows how much we do not understand His plan. He is the King of the universe, all that a king speaks will and must stand. When a king says a thing it instantly becomes law. As we can see with king Ahasuerus in the dealing with his first wife, asked the council of the wise men who knew the laws in Esther 1:10-15 to make sure that which he would set forth or decree that would not conflict with previous laws--for once it is set forth it can not be repelled. In Mark 6:27-29 with king Herod who gave his word to give up to half of the kingdom for being pleased. Yet his hands were tied when the request came he did not want to honor it. Yet he would not go against his own word in his kingdom--that would undermine his own authority. All that a king speaks is binding and absolute. The weight of what a earthly king speaks is very weighty so how much more so than the King of kings in all that He speaks?! We can not truly hold on to the misinformation that the law, of our King is against us and to be disregarded! Take time to look over the commandments of Elohim, not to be incestuous, not have sex with animals, not to kidnap, not to rape women, not to lie in the court, not to kill with intent to name a few. These same principles many of us live in our lives daily. These directions have come to be the basis of many of societal laws or rights of the people to have a productive and peaceful community. This moral standard is found throughout the world in many cases and upheld by local ordinances and laws for the protection of the people and the benefit of all. Wow the all-seeing, all-powerful, all-knowing Yahweh's original plans for His creation would net this many benefits that have been duplicated in societies and communities worldwide could this be a clue that this is what we desire and are trying to find with everything else that is going on?
