We are walking today:  Chapter 3 Torah: Law or Grace--The Hebrew Roots Of The Christian Faith

The hidden things we are having revealed to us in His word,  He gives us His understanding when Yahweh comes to visit with you.  Much like when you are a child and a grandparent will sit with you and share their wisdom.  Which you can see at that time and then later on upon reflection when you are older.  The real truths will always resonate all throughout our lives.  Take a look back and follow the ancient path, the original way that was intended from the very beginning!  Fiveamprayer we have to know that we are coming into this time and season at what He has appointed!
As we go into this chapter we are looking at our roots, going back to the beginning.  We are on a seek to find the original. The Torah, Yahweh's teaching and instruction was given to us to live our lives.  When we take a closer look at Yeshua/Jesus' teachings to find the intentions behind His words we find that what He lived out on the earth and taught was for our example, the lifestyle we should live.  When we look at people and their actions that gives an accurate picture of what is important to them.  We have in the past wrongly focused on what we say and judge on that alone.  In spite of the actions that are in direct conflict of their words.  Once you have been given the gift of salvation then the next step in the process is the redemptive lifestyle that is lived out according to the Torah, which is the Way, that Yeshua refers to in scripture.   It is these unfailing laws and ordinances that Yahweh set up from the beginning of time that work for all who follow them.  Why would people want to follow the Torah?   The directions of the Creator of the universe gave for our benefit of our lives.  When looked at closer it is found that those who do not have a love for the Torah will often side with anti-Semitic people and idea,s when it rears it ugly head.  This is not a place that you would ever need to be found!  That leads to more and more distance from that which He has set up from the beginning.  The process of the church distancing themselves from all traces of Hebraic/Jewish practices reached it's height from the 11th through the 14th centuries where those who were Jewish or supported them were mistreated, tortured, and murdered.
The early church fathers Marcion who purposed a two deity principle, the harsh God of the old testament and the kind and merciful Jesus of the new testament.  This idea was the foundation of the the trinity.  There is also St Augustine who's work built on the ideas of Marcion.  This misconstruction of the scriptures has over the years built in fear and harsh view of the Torah.  This is to our error and once you go through scripture and truly seek Him with your whole heart, you find how much His instructions are made for your life.  The label of being unbearable or harsh does not hold up to the actual practice when there is knowledge and understanding.
