By grace are you saved by FAITH!
By Paul’s definition in Hebrews that faith is the very same faith Moses preached.
Read Hebrews 3 and 4.
Paul stated plainly that the gospel he preached is the gospel Moses preached.
What did Moses preach?
Torah!
What did Yeshua preach?
Torah!
There is no gospel but the gospel of love given to us in Torah.
.
Ephesians 2:14“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility....”
“17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
“19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
Pay attention to verse 15 especially and get with it and let the Lion of the tribe of Judah lick you with the tongue of his grace!
There is no Gospel but that Torah that The holy Spirit has already written into the hearts of believers....Ephesian 2:”22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
Torah is the Logos is the Word which is God which became flesh and dwelt amongst us! The two greatest commandments(”Love God with your ALL and love your neighbor”) are the linchpins holding of all the prophets and laws and the teachings of Christ and the apostles together...If our hearts are set to keep those two commandments by the help of God’s spirit, then we are keeping the whole of the Torah after the priesthood of Melchizidek!(And Mount Zion has become our home and our final rest)
Put your self in the position of the prostitute...the Torah as interpreted by the priesthood of Aaron (represented by upraised hands with stones and snarls and insulting epithets) stands before you ready to execute you and the Torah as interpreted by the priesthood of Melchizidek (in the form of “Messiah”) is also standing before you. You stand accused of violating Torah in both instances of interpretation by your harlotry...you know how the story will go right? Melchizidek the perfect sinless one will look at those representing Aaaron and say...those without sin may cast the first stone! When they all filter out and there is no one left to accuse you, Melchizidek will ask..”where are your accusers..?” You will say what the prostitute said “ they have gone”. And he will say(because there are not 2 or more witnesses against her in perfect accordance with TORAH) “neither will I condemn you..go and sin no more!” Messiah, our living Torah stated that she had sinned(according to Torah) but told her to sin no more, that he has forgiven her!
You see I have a pretty strong sense of what Torah is and how it was always supposed to be applied. Torah teaches us of the things of God and of the perfection that is required that we can’t attain of our selves, to arouse our consciences so that we may go to Christ and get his forgiveness when we fail; and to learn the way of love, the way of Torah according to Melchizidek. You see God is the Word, God is also Love, and Christ shows us the true Torah, the way of Love! Christ showed us Torah by the forgiveness, love and the RESTORATION TO THE FATHER he applied to the prostitute! And Christ; displaying such love and mercy to the prostitute, is that LIVING Torah example all Christians are to emulate! What did Paul say...”Be ye imitators of Christ?”
The Mosaic Law has plenty of legalisms in and of itself but only the love of Christ helps us put each of those legalisms in their proper order and when it came to the newly converted gentiles in that era, the old rules the Jews followed just couldn’t apply any more!
We are all supposed to love God with all that we are and we are supposed to love our neighbor as we love ourselves...That is the new but old Torah, the Torah destroyed and the Torah resurrected and the Torah written in the hearts of God’s children...that is the “crux” of Torah that Christ fulfilled on the cross and... THAT TORAH will never perish...no matter what happens to heaven and Earth!
