Hello Simchat Torah "We are to walk in the Torah as Yeshua did." Not so. We are released from the law. Romans 7:6 (ESV) But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit. Steve |

Shalom Steve; I understand yours and other Christians view of the Torah, I on the other hand hold to a different opinion. Yeshua followed the Torah, we are to follow him which means that we are to follow Torah. As Peter said in 2 Peter 3:15,16 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. The law that Paul is speaking about here is not the Torah, it is the covenant given at Sinai. I know that most see these as synonymous but they are not. Paul says that the law was given 430 years after Abraham (Gal 3:17), but Abraham obeyed the Torah (Gen 26:5, the Hebrew word for laws is Torah in this passage). What was introduced 430 years after Abraham? The covenant at Sinai. Romans 7:6 would then read; But now we are released from the covenant, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code (The Torah was not written down until it was done so at Sinai) but in the new life of the Spirit (The original intended way in which the Torah was to be observed, with a heart of flesh, see Ez 36:26,27). Shalom Simchat Torah |

Hello Simchat Torah You are correct--we have different understanding of Torah. It appears you are viewing Torah as the sum total of God's revelation to man, and I see it as the Mosaic Covenant. Steve |
