Excellent teaching! I am a born again Christian and an ethnic Jew (born again in March of 1974). I was advised to join a Messianic Jewish congregation by the Messianic Jewish community in Denver, CO ... the purpose being to "identify" with other Messianic Jews. I joined a Messianic Jewish congregation and remained there for almost 10 years. This congregation was 80% Gentiles (who tried to be "Jews") and 20% Jews, which surprised me. This was a Torah observant (into Torahism) congregation. After leaving the Messianic congregation, I attended "many flavors" of Baptist churches....I found out from one IFB pastor that there were around 250 "sects" of Baptists. 😳 Torahism is not only found in Messianic congregations, but also in today's churches.

Thank God! Were we saved by keeping the law or by faith? Is Christ our rest? Yes He is!

I love it when the bible speaks for itself 🙏 many don't see that Acts is a transitional book

Anyone will find problems with every religion that they join when Jesus Christ is not the one discipline them. It’s very important never to allow man to be your mediator. We only have one Pastor one Shepherd, and his name is Yeshuwah. Ezekiel 36:26 says that God will give us a new heart, and he will put his Holy Spirit in us, and then he will move us, and compel us, and cause us to walk in his commandments, and his statutes and his judgments. Matthew 5:17-19 is as clear as anything could ever be the mission of Jesus Christ. No one gets a new heart and receive the Holy Spirit and no one enters the kingdom of heaven, until they have been baptized and full of the Holy Spirit in the new covenant. Therefore we must become a disciple of Jesus, and sit at his feet, studying the commandments and walking them out as he convicts, and as he leads. Never choose to follow Torah and the Hebrew roots movements to satisfy a culture separate from the workings of the Holy Spirit. I pray this helps whoever reads this.

it only makes common sense that there would be a gradual approach to learning the ways of God. no Gentile who doesnt know scripture would be expected to immediately retain all commands perfectly from day 1. if the 4 commands given in Acts 15 were the only guidelines for Gentile believers to live by, then that would leave a lot out. even basic commands like not killing or honoring your parents, and loving God with your whole heart are left out here. this cant be an exhaustive list. this was not addressing what abedience looked like. it was only addressing what to ask of new converts. it makes perfect sense that as part of their new faith that they would be asked to put away their idolatry and sexual immortality. I believe John is pretty much spot on in his interpretation.

@@TheBiblicalRoots i think the debate and decision was pver what burden to place on new believers that had just placed their faith in Messiah. when you look at Acts 15 as well as Galatians, we can see a group of Pharisees that were placing undo burdens on new converts and I believe this was a different Gospel because it was all driven by what they did in the flesh. so it appears when they told these new converts 4 things. to me these are obvious major sins that needed to be put away to be able to enter into the body and to even gather with other believers. I do think this is why they said the reading of Moses would be read in the synagogues. because these new converts would be discipled week by week. no one is discipled in one day, and greater and greater understanding on God and his ways would be learned in weekly gatherings. this doesnt mean they would keep holding on to major sins and immortality as the putting away of these was absolutely necessary to call Yeshua or Jesus Lord and to be born of the spirit. obedience is required for salvation and here is why. its not that it saves us as we know we are covered by the blood, but if we live in rebellion then we are denying the one who bought us and therefore he will also deny us as per scripture. so its the ones who are led by the spirit who are children of God and those led by the spirit of God are born again as is required to enter the kingdom of heaven. so no child born of the spirit can not obey ortherwise he would not be led by the spirit. with all this bring said, our obedience is still filthy rags before him compared with the character of Messiah

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. 34. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord.

We will enter our final rest in Christ when we receive our new bodies, but Hebrews chapter 4 says that there remains a 7th day Sabbath day rest for God's people. And it is a sign between us and God. God knows that our bodies grow tired on this earth, and so Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath. We need a day of rest, and God has given us one. We should be careful to enter it! As Hebrews 4 says, we have a High Priest in Jesus who can sympathize with our weaknesses and He gives us grace for where we fall short, but because we love Him we should make every effort to keep His commandments!

It's also important to remember that Galatians was not written in a vacuum. It must harmonize with the rest of the text. In my worldview Galatians harmonizes well with James and Acts and the rest of the Bible. But in my previous worldview of believing that Paul taught against the law, I made all of these men liars... Paul was put on trial for the very thing I thought he was doing and denied it. I also always had a hard time understanding Paul because he seems to contradict Himself constantly. I have now realized that Paul didn't contradict Himself, but as Peter said, his letters must be read very carefully so that we do not fall into the error of lawlessness. 2 Peter 3:14-18 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Hi, Pete. Wouldn't you agree that Sabbath and the kosher food laws would be on a list of essentials? I don't see anything in the text or the context that suggests the idea of a "starter pack" of essentials and that the Gentiles would later learn the rest. Verse 21 certainly doesn't say that. Where are you getting that idea?

I think the if we consider the larger context, we can see the issue that first century Jews were contending with. It was the introduction of a “New idea” called supernatural heaven through supernatural salvation. Ancient people saw the term salvation as applying here on earth as a result of righteousness according to God’s law and through faith in God. In our time 2022 people see salvation only meaning rapture to another supernatural dimension as a result of mankind’s sin through faith in a man called Jesus. 1st century folks were caught between these two ideologies which were sharing the same terminology. The implications were demonstratively different yet surprisingly similar.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of ANY THING that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth (Exodus 20:3,4).

Another point on Acts 15... we are given the reasoning behind the counsels decision to give the 4 restrictions in the verses describing how they came to their conclusion. However, in the actual letter, there is no mention on Moses being taught in the synagogues during the weekly sabbath. If this is a point to tell the gentile believers that they are to learn the law gradually by attending the synagogues, why was it not included in the actual letter?..... it would have been many years before the gentile churches could have read the remark about Moses and the synagogues because the book of Acts was not written or distributed yet.

What is the standard that we are trying to reach

For Moses has been proclaimed in all provinces since ancient times You do not have to command them to keep it....YAHUAH, Elohim commands it That is the New Covenant... the change of heart... instead of breaking the Covenant, we will desire to obey our Creator ...for sin is the transgressions of the Law Amen and Amen HalleluYah 🙏 🙏 🙏

Paul introduced his own form of “noahide laws”, in contrast to the existing “gentile laws” that existed in his time. The Gentile laws were only meant to apply to those gentiles who wanted to live, work or travel through Israel. These gentile who didn’t believe in God and wanted to remain gentile were to follow this minimum standard while they were in our land. This was a civil law voted in by the elders of Israel.

"For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues EVERY SABBATH DAY." * The implication, or conclusion, here - is that the new gentile converts will indeed be hearing Moses ( The Torah Portions ) every sabbath, when they come to church ... and will receive the knowledge of truth and righteousness then, as they continue to walk the narrow path, as Messiah did...

Hi, Chris! I am sure you noticed that Acts 15:21 is written descriptively about the past, not prescriptively about the future. That's a pretty important distinction. The restrictions given to the new Gentile believers do not amount to anything close to the entire Law of Moses. In fact, if the Jerusalem Council wanted to give the Gentiles a set of "starter pack" commands for learning the entire Law, why did they not include the two most signature commands, both of which are easy to understand and keep: Shabbat and kosher food. These are not mentioned. To answer your question, those four particular restrictions were given to promote unity between the new Gentile believers and their Jewish brothers and sisters in the faith. These are things most Gentiles would not have realized would offend Jewish believers in Jesus. It is a consistent theme of the NT that we are not to do anything that would cause our brother to stumble. For example, on the topic of kosher food: "Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble." (Rom 14:20-21) Here's a video I made that explains it in greater detail: *Why were only four restrictions given in Acts 15?* kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXh30dmLhLKtepc.html Shalom.

@@TheBiblicalRoots ... Hi! ... The mistake that many within Christianity make is that they try to understand the Bible (The New Testament especially ) thru the lens of a pagan Greek mindset, instead of a Jewish Hebrew one ... The gentile converts, under conviction by the Holy Spirit, knew that they were coming into the faith of Israel by believe in a JEWISH MESSIAH... With that being said, the Sabbath was just a given... There was no need to speak on what was already established and self-evident... The early Church WAS IN the synagogues... And the gentile believers met and kept Shabbat together there along with the believing Jews On The Sabbath Day. See Also: - Acts 13 : 42 - 44 - Acts Acts 16 : 13 - Acts 17 : 2 - Acts 18 : 4 Another thing that is just automatically assumed (by the Greek mindset ) is that whenever the NT speaks of "food" being "clean"; that it's pertaining to the flesh of "unclean" animals... But consider this -- The cultural issues that they dealt with back then concerning "food" also included: 1. The debate of whether or not eating "food" that had been previously sacrificed to idols was also "unclean" to eat? 2. The debate on which days of the week to fast upon, and what kind of fast to observe? (Rom. 14) & (1 Cor 8 ) 3. The debate on whether "common" foods ( kosher animals having been in close vicinity to non-kosher animals ) was clean or not? (Acts 10 : 14 - 15 ) 4. The Rabbinical Noahide Laws for gentiles... (From the Jewish Oral Law). All of these issues, and/or extra "traditional" commands were founded out of 'The Rabbinical Oral Law' (The Mishna ) of Judaism...Even the believing Jews were having a hard time breaking loose of.. ( The same types of "man-made traditions & commands" that Christ had His beef with the Pharisees about in Matt 15 and Mark 7! ..in "making void the commandment of God for their own tradition" - ( Mark 7 : 9 ) .. and "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men". - ( Matt 15 : 9 ) . * We have to remember too... Paul was a Pharisee, and son of a Pharisee! ( Acts 23 ) You know he had to have been steeped into all the traditions, extra- commandments, and all the other mumbo-jumbo of Judaism! ... So much so, that even Peter warned us about Not being led away by the error of unstable, ignorant, Lawless people in trying to understand Paul's letters... (paraphrasing here ) .. 2 Peter 3 : 15 - 17 For example: Compare what Paul said in 1 Cor 8 about eating meat sacrificed to idols ... He just a lot of times has a wishy-washy way, in beating around the bush, in saying what he's trying to say... But i get it.. an idol is nothing, and means nothing, regardless if some other whoever sacrifices food to what! .. It means nothing to us right? .. I mean, the guy at Subway could have dedicated my chicken sub to an idol of the Virgin Mary for all i know? ... Means nothing to me! ... But if i see him doing it, or have knowledge of it, or if someone else sees it , and knows that i know.. Then what? ... Should it then be a matter of principle??? A person reading Paul's explanation here, could have an argument either way; to eat or not eat... But there's only one right answer... In which the Apostle John in Revelation 2 : 14 & 2 : 20, is more straight forward and lays it out a little clearer! .. Better to be safe than sorry, i say ! ; D Shalom : )

Okay, but at 20:21, the video pretty much says that Jesus says that divorce was allowed by Moses, but that isn't the case. However.... In the next verse (not read), Jesus says how one can be divorced without committing adultery. So it seems it was still allowed by Jesus. Also, side note: it seems as though 4 commandments are now required, instead of the 600+, as there were 4 commandments given by James. So, instead of us being required to follow the law of Moses (600+ commands), we are required to follow the law of James (4 commands). Am I wrong?

You have to look at why James put those commandments in there. It's not that actually required/mandated.

It's not. It's what is a good idea for those people receiving the letter so that they aren't hindering their Jewish friends.

Great video. Keep up the good work. I have been studying HBM for 3 years now. I have close people that have fallen into that mindset unfortunately. Food for thought tho two of those laws are not found in Torah 1st one is food offered to idols and 2nd eating things that are strangled. Paul also says we can eat meat offered to idiol as long as we don't make our brother stumble in 1 corthians 8 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 1 Corinthians 8:7‭-‬8 KJV The verse in acts 15,21 that for Moses of old time hath in ever city that preach him being read in the synagogues. So the question about this verse does it show gentiles will learn the law and those 4 laws given are a starter law. I started reading this is what I found. Acts 18;11 Paul stayed 1 year 6 months acts 19;8-10 Paul says 2 years and 3 months acts 20; 3 Paul stays for 3 months. This makes 4 years and Paul reiterates and repeats in acts 21;25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. Acts 21:25 KJV so my thoughts and question was if this is a starter law why does 4 years pass by and Paul still say these four laws they would've had plenty of time to learn going to the synagogues every sabbath? Most dates published between acts 15 and 21 are roughly a decade apart

Thanks, Maxx! Don't forget that by the time Paul stayed 18 months in Corinth (18:11), he had traveled through many other cities where he stayed "for some days" or "many days longer." Loose phrases like this are used often in Acts and could mean a week or a few months or more. So the time frame between the writing of the Jerusalem Council letter and Paul quoting it in Acts 21:25 is likely much longer than four years. And your point is a good one! After all those years, the Gentiles were _still_ not expected to learn the Law.

My thoughts was even if u went that route and said the food is describing people how could the desciples teach them about the law of unclean and clean foods. Acts 10:28 (KJV 1900): 28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. .....so if a gentile or even jew was eating bacon which would make them unclean how could Peter tell them they were unclean bc God specifically said call no man common or unclean

The clean meats and unclean were shown to be something at the flood when unclean animals cam by one, or two pairs when the clean animals came by seven or pairs of seven.

Hi Alfred! Actually, the seventh day Sabbath was not given at creation. There are no commands issued during the creation account. Genesis simply tells what God _did_ on the 7th day. "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." (Gen 2:2-3). God did not go back to work on the eighth day, and He did not institute a repeating weekly pattern of rest for anyone at that time. The weekly 7th day Sabbath wasn't introduced until He gave it to Israel in Exodus 16. And notice that all throughout the Old Testament, we never see the Sabbath being expected of anyone else except the Israelites. And BTW, God gave Noah permission to eat *all* meats. He said, *"Everything that lives and moves* about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you *everything."* (Gen. 9:3). Blessings, Rob

The problem is that simple doesn’t mean true, and in fact often avoids truth to maintain that simple axiom they started with. Ironically, when you go after falsehoods, you always end up running into the truth, hence the confused, complicated ways they try to get around passages like Acts 15 and others.

The real reason James put external church legislation on the new converts was because these sins were existential for the body of Christ to survive and be minimally distinct from the world especially at this time. James and the apostles knew, that legislating from a central command the laws of GOD was getting dangerously close to becoming a mediator system. They knew JESUS died to be the personal teacher of Everyman in the Kingdom inside from their heart . The apostles knew that they had the right to teach Moses weekly and let Christ in every man convict them in time or over generations of time and that they would walk out 30,60,100 fold of the commandments of GOD as CHRIST enabled eventually as HE willed. The entire battle of history for nearly all societies is the issues of external rule vs inward rule. In Christ’s kingdom it is inside out not outside in like the old covenant tried to do and especially how the Pharisees tried to do on super steroids (major outside works to inside change). We are to keep the commandments of GOD given through all of Torah and the gospels by HIS conviction, by HIS strength upon hearing the word. . Now to Abstain from sexual immorality includes many many laws of sexual sins, to abstain from food sacrificed to idols and blood have a bunch of laws with them as well. We aren’t talking 4 but dozens of laws. It was a safety pack not starter pack.

Yet for anyone to say that Christ came to abolish the law would then be proving that he was a false Messiah. The reason so many are confused; possibly yourself, is they have no proficiency in the Torah, and in the writings, and in the prophets. Therefore, when they read the gospels and the new covenant epistles, They just have no idea where these men are coming from, nor the kingdom in which they live.

the messiah was asked twice what must we do to have eternal life, both times he said keep the torah...so your stance would have to contradict what the messiah taught. as your stance would say, its not applicable to gentiles.... your stance that gentiles only need to keep those 4 commandments would mean we can be homesexual until we die, and still be saved. as there are much more commandments additional to those 4, that are salvatic.

Pete, 1.) In both cases when Jesus started by saying said "keep the commandments," he was talking to Jews who were under the Law of Moses. When the rich young man said he had kept the commandments since his youth, Jesus added more: he was told to follow Jesus and make Him his top priority in life. That is how we inherit eternal life. In the case of the lawyer, the answer was not the Torah, but the two greatest commandments, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 2.) I have never said or taught that "Gentiles only need to keep those 4 commandments." That would be silly. We need to keep everything Jesus taught us! Shalom, Rob

One of those four was sexual immortality which homosexuality would fall in that category.

Since God himself never discusses heavenly eternal salvation it makes one wonder why we are so obsessed with it. Even to the extent that we exclude or even condemn one another. If we lived in the ancient times we would believe that salvation meant God promises to save Israel from our enemies and deliver us from those that persecute us. But only if we (Jews & Gentiles) as a nation of Gods people, were obedient to the laws of that nation . Has this truth left us in favor of individual pursuit of eternity? It seems to me that arguing over heavenly “Salvatory” issues is a foolish waste of time and a sorry excuse to eliminate brothers from the fold. We have become so distracted by heaven that we’re no earthly good anymore. It’s no wonder that today Jews remain in exile and your messiah hasn’t returned. Until we get our act together as humans neither is a reality. Salvation meaning redemption to the promised land through repentance to God’s Law according to our faith in his promise, is undeniable in the Tanakh. Supernatural rapture as a result of mankind’s sin, isn’t a pattern we see in the ancient times. Kings (messiahs) are not appointed to scattered (exiled) nations. You want your messiah back? Then repent and return to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who with an outstretched arm redeems his people from amongst the nations from where they were scattered because of their actions and not because of their faith.

...obedience to what? Is my question. Isn't the gentiles' obedience to follow Jesus' commands - and aren't His commands to His disciples different than the LoM? It still feels that dogmatic value within their adherence to LoM isn't obedience but is ritualistic and hmm....idolization of Jewish culture. I...I just...there is a very fine line there that I've seen inevitably lead to leaving the way of the Gospel very swiftly.

Why do you Ignore Christ's command in Matthew 23:1-3? Any one who relaxes the least of these commands will be least in the Kingdom? The great Commission calls us to do and to teach ALL that Christ Commands!

Which of Christ's commands do you think I am ignoring, Darcy? I teach and believe that obedience is God’s “love language.” 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 that God has given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or for 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 teaches that the ceremonial Mosaic commands 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). Blessings, Rob

119 ministries teaching is correct. Here are a couple alternative teachings (👇). No one is saying (or has said) commandments are a means to salvation. This is a straw man argument Mr Solberg keeps reverting to even though that claim is not being made. He also states the law of Moses is a burden. The longest chapter in the Bible ‘Psalm 119’ refutes this statement and Our Messiah never stated this (anywhere). The four baseline things mentioned are evidence of salvation (true conversion). They are not just practices to foster unity with Jewish brethren. To say they were only keeping them while around their newly converted Jewish brothers would make them hypocrites and annul the entire purpose of the Council’s ruling. These are actually sins Ephraim (lost house) committed that led to their exile and them being cut off from the covenant. In other words, in order to move forward in unity, these basic things (sins) must be repented of and settled as transgressions that must be forsaken. That is hardly limited to these preliminary requirements considering there are many commandments Christians would consider valid that are not on this list like loving your neighbor as yourself, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness against your neighbor, etc (all found in the Torah). Our works are always evidence of Our love for God (and love of our neighbor), not to gain salvation or our own righteousness. That is the point of the entire debate...to test that these men have truly been converted and these practices would be a beginning point to invite them into the assemblies so that they could continue on that journey their conversion began. Mr Solberg admits there is a process of sanctification after salvation as he illustrated on his board. Regarding that sanctification, our trust in YaHshua always leads us to righteousness and it is never OUR righteousness, it is always His. Every good act we do is rooted in the Holy Spirit working in us. Test everything does not dispute this. But there is a standard (as Mr. Solberg states) and that standard is the word of God. The disagreement is in what ‘words of God’ we should follow. Mr. Solberg does not answer this question, merely says it’s not the Torah. So if he is changing the standard, he needs to define what it has changed to. As for his new covenant references from the prophets (Jer. 31), that will be completed upon YaHshua’s return. It will be the Torah. When the regathering takes place and we are brought to Zion is when this will happen. If you read the entire chapter, that will be clear. Another reference for this is Ezekiel 36:24-32. YaHshua’s first coming was a partial fulfillment and established His temple (within us) on this foundation (salvation by grace alone), a completion of our redemption will take place at His second coming. Advice to those trying to ‘rescue’ their loved ones from HR. Please stop, they are on the right path for a purpose you do not understand...yet. This is about realms of life and death, holy and profane, clean and unclean and what is coming upon the earth will require this understanding. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqt2y6uOdtLfebw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYKgq9OPetC5mrg.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6N-ysiefpexmJs.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/fHaDpMSplc-wlJM.html

Thanks, Darlene! I'm sure you are not familiar with my entire body of work, but I definitely do answer the question of which commands of God are Christians called to follow. Although the Torah commands about eating kosher and keeping the feasts and the weekly Sabbath and circumcision aren’t required of Christians under the New Covenant, we do still have commands. For example, Christians are called to forgive, even if we don’t feel like it. And we’re called to love even unlovable people just like Jesus did. And we’re called to be generous even when we can’t afford to be, and serve one another when we don’t want to, and avoid lust while living in a sexually permissive society, and stay away from greed while surrounded by materialism, and abstain from idolatry in a celebrity-obsessed society. And we're called to share the Good News and make disciples of all nations. So when we read in the Bible about learning to love and follow God’s laws, _these_ are the laws that apply to Christians today. And keeping them is how we show our love for Jesus, and remain holy and set apart from the world. And compared to those commands, eating kosher is a piece of cake! ;-) Blessings, Rob

John is correct! AS PER PAUL.....“Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.” - 1Cor 7:19 (NKJV)

Really, Rom 6v1, Do we keep Sinning (1 John 3v4) that Grace may abound, may it never be. Is Grace a licence to Sin, Sin is Breaking YAH'S(God) law. Rom 3v31 Do we then make void the law through Faith? God Forbid, yea, we the Establish law(Torah). Deut 8v3 Matt 4v4, Luke 4v4, Yahushua said it is written that we need every word of Elohim. Why did God call pork unclean? Would you eat rats? Yes Sin start in the mind-heart, if Christmas and Easter are pagan festivals why Christians keep them?

If you study acts 15 and the law of the most high (Torah), you see that James came to the conclusion in one portion of Leviticus. Why? Since the gentiles were atoned of their sins by the blood of Christ, they read from the Torah portion “after the death” which is the law of atonement (Leviticus 16), the next instructions in the word are “sacrificing and strangling outside the camp” which is idolatry and pagan. (Leviticus 17) then instructed the blood (Leviticus 17)….then instructed sexual immorality (Leviticus 18). All from one Torah portion! That possibly could of been the Torah portion they read at the time of the council!!! Praise!!! Then he goes on to tell them that they will continue to learn the scriptures every sabbath!

We know this for at least two reasons: (1.) The NT never describes gentile followers of Jesus learning the law in the synagogue every Sabbath, and (2.) Jesus prophesied that His followers would be put out of the synagogues (John 16:2), which came true in the first century. Blessings, Rob

Hey, Pete! Hebrews was written in AD 63-64. Just a few years later, in AD 70, the temple was destroyed. Ever since then no one has been able to truly keep the Law of Moses. There has been no temple, no priesthood, no sacrifices. The Sinai Covenant is obsolete and has vanished away. Meanwhile, the New Covenant-which Jesus told us was in His blood (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor 11:25)-was inaugurated at Jesus' crucifixion.

Matt 5v19 whoever breaks the least of these Commandments and Teaches others to do so, will be call least in the Kingdom of heaven. So if 1 John 3v4, Sin is Transgression of the Law-Torah. So does it make sense that Torah the Father's( loving) instructions should be done away with. Hebrew 8v13 which part of the old Testament Law-Torah is done away? Yahushua-Jesus is now our High priest Melchizedek, sacrificing Bull and goat's, being circumcised, we are now under the Blood of Messiah. What did Paul say about circumcism of the heart and circumcism of the flesh, Sin is Breaking YAH'S (God's) Law-Torah, Repent turn from Sin stop Breaking Torah. This video mocking 119 ministries. It ain't explain that well.

Salvation is confessing that Jesus’ death is our fault through all time. No matter if we were there or not That is Agape Love. Agape Love and The Law of Moses cannot coexist in the brain. If Love is based on commands, then it’s conditional to the commands. If Love is based simply our Agape judgement, then it is unconditional as God’s Love and all commands are fulfilled. Which even if we are at fault, there is forgiveness, instead of judgement in Agape. They can’t coexist in time either because if We showed Agape Love to Jesus, and decided to not crucify Jesus, we wouldn’t have obeyed Law of Moses, and Jesus’ Agape Love wouldn’t have ever freed us from it. Also Agape Love would’ve never been proven supreme to sin and death. So if we keep the Law of Moses, we are rejecting Agape judgement and leaning on our own mental ability to keep up with commands. Which is flawed by the flesh. In order for flesh to obey , judgement has to match Christ’s. Which Christ revealed to BE AGAPE LOVE.
