This morning Fiveamprayer we will be looking at the midrash. In some cases, it has been used in Judaic circles as a substitute for the Holy Spirit. There are many congregations that have drifted from the Holy Spirit led teaching of the scriptures. Those who still teach scripture have focused on man's commentary as authorized over the Holy Spirit. In every move of the Holy Spirit there is chaos and opposition where the light of truth invades darkness and error. Some only seek traditions and rituals of men. This is a move from the gatherings that Yahweh's people walked in scripture, originally. Merely making the inclusion of any and all things Jewish that can push out the Holy Spirit. So what is the midrash?According to scripture midrash can be interpreted as a root of taught or to study, exposition, story, writing or translation, possibly a narrative. Related to drash which means to seek and inquire or study. The traditional view of midrash for scripture interpretation was begun by Jewish refugees. These discussions and writings would later become the Talmud. This method thrives in Judaism and popular in many Messianic congregations--but should this method be used? Focused on legal or non-legal view from the exiled Jews from Babylon. The desire to have the Torah centralized and uniform begun this process to keep the surrounding people from blending in their cultures with them. This is the time frame that many of the Mishnah was written and compiled. There are three uses of the midrash--how to read and interpret a biblical verse, also refers to a book on the study of scripture and the interpretation of a particular verse. With the varied understandings of this word and how it can be used needs to be understood. They are to hold on to the truth and not lean to our own interpretation. The mystical insight that was only available to some makes for a breeding ground for misunderstanding. This altering of the plain and simple meaning was lost and not effective in their lives. This is the correction that Yeshua brings to the Pharisees who were upholding man made laws over the Torah of Yahweh. Without the Holy Spirit, the man made doctrines that oppose the plain simple meaning of scripture. This nullifying of the scriptures and making them to no effect in our lives. Intended purpose of the midrash in messianic congregations, the popular version is an hybrid of the Judaic version. Some may call it a brainstorm session--some may have a moderator to guide the discussion. This can be very destructive as other man made inventions. With so many voicing opinions of the scriptures that is void at structured teachings--can cause those who are new or seeking spiritual food to only hear these arguments. When there is destructive elements of this midrash, how can it be corrected? Yeshua is our example--He proclaimed the Father's truth which requires an anointing for all men who teach or become congregational leaders. They are to proclaim His truth with His authority! Saul who later became Paul was to learn the correct interpretation--as all prophets are to do. It is by getting understanding directly from Yahweh which is confirmed and agree with His word. There are those who are false that also teach and do not agree with the scriptures but operate in a vision of their own heart. We are only to harken to these who are speaking according to scripture. The Torah has to have the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit has to have the Torah! To hear this teaching again click here.
