Was Yahshua Torah Obedient? David Field November 5, 2011
Some Christians say, “Jesus lived a Torah obedient life only because he had not died yet to pay for sin, bringing us into the age of grace." So now we don't have to obey the father's commandments, we can forget the Torah, since it is paid for? All believing this, have you actually given it any real thought? The time frame of obeying the Torah had nothing to do with the death of the Messiah. His death paid for sin both before and after. So then why did the father even have Moses write the Torah? Can you see the many holes in this theory? You've got to drop this idiotic Christian theory of "age of grace".
Then some Christians say that those laws were for the Israelites of that day only, not for us today. So why did He use the words, "for ever"? Look it up for yourself instead of blindly believing your preacher. The words "for ever" and "for all your generations" are in the Torah many places when giving commandments.
Then some say those laws were given to Jews only. But Paul said:
Galations 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Yahshua Messiah.
Others say that Yahshua was not Torah obedient, sighting the story of the disciples eating in the field on the Sabbath, Matthew chapter 12. In this passage, the Pharisees were holding him accountable for breaking their own laws, not the Torah. The Torah says, no work on the Sabbath. The Torah does not forbid eating. The Pharisees called it harvesting to eat from the field, but that is simply not true. Harvesting is putting crop up in the barn. The disciples were not harvesting; they were eating.
And still more say that the Torah was given to prove to man that we cannot keep it. That would be dishonest. So many excuses to disobey! This is why I say Christianity is the outlaw religion, because they throw out the law, the Torah, which is the law of YHWH. There is not one set of laws for Jews and one for Christians. There is but ONE bride.
Revelation 14:12 This is what the saints do, they obey the Torah, and follow Messiah.
If you are a Christian, and you ask me if you are going to be granted eternal life, I'd have to answer from the bible, Revelation 14:12. Now you tell me, are you one of these, or do you throw out the Torah? I don’t care how much you go to church, how holy or how just you believe yourself to be. Yah does not measure with your yardstick. He has his own. It is the Torah.
Some think, I will take my chances because all of Christianity cannot be wrong. You want to bet eternity on that?
Matthew 7 (Yahshua) 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Christianity is mainline, the wide road, the largest belief system in the world, one-third of the earth’s population. That is a bet you cannot win, a bet with nothing to gain and everything to loose, a foolish bet with everything in. Could there be anything more foolish? Matthew 5 (Yahshua) 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Even more Christians will ask about bible passages given by the apostle Paul. Do you think a man came after the Messiah to trump his words? Yahshua was called, “The Word” [of YHWH]. Paul himself wrote the following:
Romans 3:4 YHWH forbid: yea, let YHWH be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
