Well good...Paul in writing to the Ephesians was then similarly well covered as he studied them both!
Were it written in your heart, would you be kicking against it?
Those whose hearts have Torah live by it joyfully, Keeping his Sabbath, appointed times, and living instructions.
Well then go thou then yourself and do so as your heart has been instructed to do!
And I shall do as I have been instructed.
So what is the argument?
You were the one doing the arguing, and much accusing too.
What have I accused you of?
Where are your accusers? Have you done anything wrong? I certainly don’t condemn you! Go in peace and be satisfied in Him!
Read your posts.
.
“Works of the law” is the following of the Pharisees false law.
That was what was tripping up the Galatians, and in our time tripping up the Jewabies that call their nicolaitan “Rabbi.”
I have read my own comments and I think I have shown you great restraint and have considered your ideas...
None of us will ever “arrive”...until we are fitted with our resurrection bodies and see Him as he is! Until then we must all try to live as the living Torah instructs each of our hearts, through our individual circumstances(known as crosses) ...and when we fail, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness!
Now...Go live in peace with His Countenance lifted upon you and live as “THE WORD MADE FLESH” should instruct your heart by His Spirit!
You keep SAYING this...
You seem to want US to keep Torah; are YOU keeping it FULLY?
You keep SAYING this...
I post the two verses for comparison and contrast...context is important...In DEUT Moses has set up an Altar on Mount Elba and was setting up for the noted blessings and curses sermon in chapter 28; he was 120 years old on that day and it was just prior to sending Israel off to Israel. Moses of course would not be allowed to go over.
Galatians 3:10
For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
Deut 27:28
26Cursed be he that confirms not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Finally...…Gal 3: 11And it is clear that no one is justified before God by the Law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” 12The Law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The one who does these things will live by them.” 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree...”
And now a puzzle to consider...the waters divided in the Jordan and Israel walked thru on dry land and Jesus Walking ON the Water....Mount Sinai and Mount Zion....Aaron and Melchizidek....condemnation and redemption.....the dead rod of Aaron bearing fruit flowers and nuts and the empty grave! Progressions, progressions...from glory to glory, from everlasting to everlasting...what remains constant and shall never pass away?
“Faith” is living by Yehova’s commandments.
That point is repeatedly made throughout the word.
The apostles kept saying it.
All that is applicable under present circumstances.
The Temple conditions are no longer applicable, that was signaled by the red ribbon no longer turning white.
“Going up” to the temple is no longer possible, but the temple will be replaced by Yeshua when we return with him after the wedding feast. Mortal Earth dwellers will again be under the requirements, and those nations that “go not up” will have their rain cut off.
The “oral law” was not written.
Only Yehova’s word was written.
Today all “churches” have their own false law similar to that of the Pharisees. The Catholics call theirs the catechism.
THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL...(You know that Love God with everything you are and love your neighbor as your self thingy...as the outworking of love and grace begins, everything we are supposed to be and do and are will be revealed to us and built into us as the Spirit in dwells us... and that is the True Torah!)
So just ignore Galatian 3 and Ephesians 2 then as they stand in stark contradiction...well as I said before...we all have our individual paths to walk and our crosses to bear, but it will be Yeshua who will be leading us home!
PS : Yeshua Mashiach is come in the flesh! Do you agree?
Of course he has come in the flesh.
He will come next in the spirit to gather us to his wedding feast. Then we will return with him bodily to the Earth, having received the incorruptible bodies at the last Trump.
