Bible Note: Hi Joe…… Here’s the deal…….I don’t know what to do with certain passages…….for instance, most Christians conclude they need not live Torah because Paul said: “The Law is not of faith” “I am dead to the Law” “We are delivered from the Law” “Messiah is the end of the Law for righteousness” “If you are led of the Spirit, you are not under the Law” “By deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified” “The Law brings wrath” Messiah “abolished in his flesh….the commandments” “A man is not justified by observing the Law but by faith in Y’shua Mashiach.” I, however, conclude that we are to live Torah because Paul said: “Do we make void the Law through faith? God forbid.” “With the mind I myself serve the Law of God.” “I delight in the Law of God.” “The righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us.” “The Law is spiritual.” “Doers of the Law shall be justified” “The Law is holy.” “The commandment is holy, just and good.” “The sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law.” “I worship the God of my fathers believing all things which are written in the Law and Prophets.” “We are created unto good works which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.” The same person, Paul, said everyone of these things…….please explain to me how do you reconcile both lists? What I do is look for another witness to confirm what Paul said. I can find witnesses to confirm the second list, but I cannot find a witness to confirm the first list. My comment, “Y’shua said it, I believe it.” was another sarcastic comment on my part (I have to stop doing that) as a parallel to the popular Christian saying, “God said it, I believe it.”….which strikes me as a goofy comment from someone who doesn’t believe that the seventh day is the Sabbath. Singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb……Bub |
