We are walking in today:  The Law In The New Testament

Witness Adonai will destroy the yolk with prosperity—Isaiah 10:20-27

This journey into Torah has been such an eye, mind and heart opener!  With the more that we study we find what helped in the division of Yeshua from the teaching and instructions of the Most High, the Torah.  Yes we do have from Paul's writings for so much information but without the Hebraic understanding that his writings are letters of rebuke and correction--can not be taken at surface value!  We don't have the initial questions that prompted his responses!  The first thing we have to determine is scripture agrees with scripture!  His word stands and He is not double-minded.  All that He has said will match what He has spoken and will speak later.  The division of the Bible into two sections makes for difficult understanding without the proper context of the writers and the culture of the audience.  With these corrections we can see that Yahweh who gave the law to Moses at Mt. Sinai is the same as Yeshua who fully explained and lived out those laws with His disciples.  If there was anything that Yeshua wanted to change in the law, He had ample opportunities in the public and with the teachers of the law to omit or change,  the Torah.  However we have Him saying the He is not abolishing the law.  The incorrect interpretation of the law of Moses or Torah was to abolish it--Yahweh's word can never be done away with by mere men!  Yes many of us grew up in churches who recieved the same incorrect understanding that the law is over but that does not make it true.  There is no scripture that says that the law of Moses is over.  There has to be laws, directions, policy or rules for the society, land or kingdom.  How could a small town operate if there were not standards of behavior for so many people living together?  Who would know when a boundaries were crossed?  Which actions would require a punishment to deter others from the same behavior?  This is what the Torah is--proper behavior and actions for the people in the community, in families and marriages.  For those who have never been to visit the King of kings there is the proper approach for that as well.  We know that Yahweh is the great and mighty one.  Our Father, our King, our Buckler and Shield, the Rock of Ages but what would be the proper way to come before Him?  Are there specific times that He expects to see you?  Such as the His feast days and the Sabbath?  Sure you can call your grandma whenever but to remember her birthday or anniversary means a lot to her, right?  Well we have days the He has given us as rehearsals and days of remembrance for what He has done for His people.  A time to remember the mightiness of His hand the delivered you out!  Days of celebration for the goodness of the Almighty!  But God is love right?  So it doesn't matter when we worship or what days are set apart.  Well lets look to the word...Genesis 2  (KJV) 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.  So in the first chapter of Genesis we have the world created in 6 days and then we have the seventh day set apart and explained in the next chapter.  Why is this day sanctified and set apart?  This is the plan the He set forth from the beginning for us to follow.  Are there any other days set apart as by Yahweh in His word?  There are the feast days, Pesach or Passover for example.  There is no place in His word you find that Sunday is the day that Yahweh is looking for you to meet Him.  That change of the day was a man determined convention.  There were men who meet and decided and determined that they would change the day and add in pagan holidays and cease from the feast days of the Lord Almighty.  Fiveamprayer what we are saying, have been saying is that if you can not find what you are doing in the Bible--don't walk in it!  There is the practices of the pagans that He warns Israel about and then the instructions on what He wants His set apart, chosen people to do!  That is your task to follow in the word that He has given for His set apart, holy nation to follow!  All of His word agrees--find the original scripture that the New Testament is referring to in the Torah--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.  Yahweh is looking at us like a loving father who is pleased that his child is striving to do better, to walk in what they have been taught.  He will bridge the gap where we fall short.  The real questions what is your intention?  What desire is in your heart?  This was never a pick and chose type of situation--the trail mix Bible practices have gotten us in a terrible state!  Now we will have our eyes opened up to see His word clear and with the Ruach HaKadosh will lead us back to the beginning, the original, the authentic.  Go back Fiveamprayer, and get the understanding that was altered with the Greek scenery and caused us to run down the path of error.  Thank You Yahweh for returning us to Your good and right way.  The path that we can follow all throughout scripture for the benefit of our lives and families!  All praises to our Avinu Malkineu!  To listen to this message again click here.
