Bible Note: Shalom Johnny; Back from a nice long vacation :-) You said; So in your case you observed the torah perfectly!. So when you caught somebody man and woman adultery, did you kill them? if you saw then caught in the act did you stone them to death? If not my friend your are not observing your tora perfectly! if not! your hypocryte, as Jesus said! You are correct, I do not observe the Torah perfectly therefore I need Yeshua. One of the reasons we cannot observe the Torah fully is because our government does not use the Torah as its law. If it did then they would be stoned. Since I live under the government of the United States I am unable to observe much of the commands in the Torah, again, why I need Yeshua as my Savior. You also said; your torah cannot justify us, it is Christ. That is why christ is the ultimate sacrifice for us not your torah, not the lamb but Christ Himself. I know you will not going to believe this because you are not a Christian but it was written my friend, whether you accept it or not! Oh, but I do believe this, I do need Yeshua as the ultimate sacrifice. Why is it that when someone says they observe Torah, Christians automatically think that we observe the Torah to recieve salvation from God? This is so far from the truth, we observe Torah for the same reasons you go to church on Sunday, celebrate easter and christmas, etc. Observing Torah does not mean that we observe it for salvation, actually we observe it to show love to God because he did save us.
