1 | Torah observance in the church?? | Prov 28:9 | Eliyahu | 161968 | ||
If those who turn away their ear from hearing the Torah are an abominable noise in Yahweh's ears when they pray, how come the Church doesn't keep the Torah? | ||||||
2 | Torah observance in the church?? | Prov 28:9 | ebrain | 161977 | ||
Keeping the Torah is usually understood to mean keeping the law, however, Romans 10:4, tells us that "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness". This in my opinion does not refer to the moral law, but only to the ceremonial law, see also Romans 2:15, 4:13, 4:16, and 8:3. For example, circumcision is no longer required, but, one man with one woman to the exclusion of all others untill death, is still required. You might find it helpfull to read Matt Ch's 5, 6, and 7, where our Lord says at Matt 5:17.(Amplified) that He did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it, or more precisely to be the fulfillment of it. |

The way I understand these verses is a little differently. The verse in Romans that is often translated as "Messiah is the end of the law", often appears in the interlinears to mean, "Messiah is the end goal of the Law". This not saying that he is bringing it to an end, becuase, otherwise, how could that be possible if He were writing it upon our hearts (see, Jeremiah 31:33)? If he writes it upon our hearts, then it should be our new nature to walk in righteousness, just as he did (I John 2:6). We received the righteousness of the Messiah when he died for us. What that means is, the righteous nature of Torah observance of this devout Torah observant Rebbe was transfered to us to replace our carnal nature, so that we would be changed from within, instead of trying to depend on our own works for our salvation. He was the only one who was righteous on this earth and he was sinless, meaning he never did anything to transgress the Torah (I John 3:4), and so when he died, and lives in us, it is his righteousness that is transfered to us. I John 3:8-10 makes it clear. So what is missing in the church today? Why aren't they walking in the righteousness of our promised King of Yisrael? Rather, it seems that they rebel against it. What's your opinion on this? Peace be upon you. |

Dear Eliyahu, "The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is Scripture itself." Consequently, I encourage you to also consider the words of Jesus on this topic: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:17-18) The law is in no way ameliorated or mitigated by Christ. Nor is the law annulled by our faith. Instead it is established! (Romans 3:31) Think The law's function is to teach us about sin and righteousness. It will serve that continuing purpose on into the eternal future. In Him, Doc |
