Please answer yes or no. I will go first with a resounding “ NO.” Of COURSE ONLY THE BLOOD cleanses us from all sin (1Jn.1:7), not our works, but ONLY THE BLOOD. But if you disobey Torah, then what did JESUS say can happen? (Mt. 5:19-20;7:21-23;13:41-42). That's a REALLY good reason to obey! After all, Jesus requires ALL Torah (Mt.5:19) for ALL disciples of ALL nations (Mt.28:19-20). AND, even Blood Bought 1953 agrees it's good and wise to obey Torah! blessings...

What pushing the law and legalism does is confuse the saved and is a barrier to entering His rest and enjoying the inheritance of sons. Trying to keep 'law' won't unsafe you, but will make life more difficult than needs be. All that talk of the beauty of Torah and such is wonderful as the psalmist said--'Sweeter than honey', but in terms of our walking with the Lord in this Church Age, the Lord has moved on from there to a different place. Everything since Pentecost moves on from the physical to the spiritual. From the types and the tutor to the real and the new heart of flesh via a New Nature. I died and yet I live. The law is beautiful as is the psalms and prophets and there is much to learn there-- in that every bit of it speaks of 'now' and moving on to a very different footing. to add for clarity: He rescued us from being bound to the principle agency of 'law' and death to the principle agency of Grace and Life. They are as different as life is from death. Maybe so--maybe not. That wasn't my impression across several threads. At any rate--it is still error because it leads away from what the Father has for us now In Christ. To place so much emphasis there is at best to sow confusion. Mature Christians recognize it for what it is. It is referred to as discernment. We are commanded to love one another and to believe in the name of jesus. Right! And those are commandments. Most everything else is admonitions and guidance regarding 'how to' continue to enter into the benefits and economy of sonship. This is all for His Glory and for our benefit in this earthly existence and beyond. A Father wants His sons to grow up into who he is. Pretty simple. I like another illustration regarding nature and sonship. I have 4 children. There is nothing in my son, but me (and of course his mother). There is nothing in him that didn't come from me. He is nothing but me. When we died and were raised in Christ we were given a new Nature and that Nature is Christ--Divine. Its true we currently have this treasure in an earthen vessel, but the vessel doesn't change the Nature of the Life. There is nothing in me (my new nature) that isn't God. That isn't Christ. He wants us to 'grow into' our Nature, just as my son grows into his. This is one job of the Paraclete. To always point and inform and shed light on that Nature. These are the things I am portraying here----the emphasis should be on the New as informed by the types and tutor. I am speaking of Life. Another point can be made that might be helpful. In this new economy of Christ, we are to look inwardly not outwardly. His Life is in us and pulls us toward Him in the heavenlies. The Law is outside and pulls us earthward. Hi there! "but in terms of our walking with the Lord in this Church Age, the Lord has moved on from there to a different place. " There is no "church age". CHURCH = ISRAEL....(Ac.7:38;Dt. 4:10). And we ISRAELITES obey TORAH (Mal.4:4;Jer.31:31-33;Heb.8:8-10). blessings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad to get you on the record on this thread. OldCoot said: The problem I see with some folks is viewing Torah as a rigid set of commandments, like say, the speed limit laws. Torah has its root in yara, which is more close to "teaching" or instruction. And when it comes to the commandments, there are 613. Not all of them apply to everyone. Torah is guidance and instruction. And within it, it teaches us of the Messiah, just as He said.... the Torah is written of Him. One can see that applied even in what Yeshua (Jesus) said when on the cross. He applied the Torah to each and every one of us. When Yeshua on the cross said "Father forgive them for they know to what they do", He was referring to Numbers 35. If a person is guilty of murder, he is executed by the next of kin, the avenger of blood. But If that person is guilty of unintended murder, what we would call manslaughter, he could flee to a city of refuge and be protected from the avenger of blood. He would remain there until the death of the high priest and was free to go. Though we are all guilty of the murder of Yeshua because of our sin, He declared the we are only guilty of manslaughter in that we didn't know what we were doing..... it was unintentional. Therefore to be protected from the Avenger of Blood (the Father) we flee to our city of refuge (the Messiah) and we are forever protected from the wrath of the Father. Yeshua is our High Priest and never will die again, so we are forever protected. This is how the Torah should be viewed. It teaches us of the Messiah. The Torah is freedom when properly applied. When improperly applied, it becomes a weight on our backs that will crush us. This is why Peter at the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15, and James later affirmed, said what he did regarding the Torah. That putting a set of rigid commandments on people is a burden that even they and their ancestors could not bear. They understood the difference between the Torah being instruction and guidance, teaching of the Messiah, and a rigid set of commandments that gets twisted into a burden on people. It is why David could extol the Torah and talk about how he delighted in the Torah. How the Torah is greater than gold or silver. He didn't see it as rigid set of rules like government regulations.... LAW. He saw it as guidance and instruction of a loving God. But some still see the Torah as a set of rigid conditions. Hi! "there are 613." No. Dt. 4:15 did not make the list. So 613 is SURELY the wrong number! " He applied the Torah to each and every one of us." GREAT reason for us to obey Torah! "That putting a set of rigid commandments on people is a burden that even they and their ancestors could not bear." WRONG. Acts 15 oppose TORAH+CIRCUMCISION as proof of Gentile salvation. That's an ANTI-TORAH requirement! Torah does NOT require TORAH+CIRCUMCISION as proof of Gentile salvation. Thus, the Torah-obedient apostles OPPOSED TORAH+CIRCUMCISION as proof of Gentile salvation....because Torah does not even require it! But the Apostles DO require all Torah (Ac.6:10-15;2Ti.3:16;1Jn.5:3;1Pe.1:16;Mt.23:34;Lk.6:40;1Jn.2:6). "difference between the Torah being instruction and guidance, teaching of the Messiah, and a rigid set of commandments that gets twisted into a burden on people." No difference! Either you should OBEY or you should NOT OBEY. And we should obey! Of COURSE the commands are rigid....they are not flexible or subject to negotiation! DO NOT MURDER (or LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, or any other command) is RIGID and REQUIRED. COMMANDMENTS! (not recommendations!) "He saw it as guidance and instruction of a loving God. But some still see the Torah as a set of rigid conditions." It's both. GUIDANCE. INSTRUCTION. RIGID REQUIREMENTS. ALL of the above. As an expression of our love (1Jn.5:3;Dt.6:5,25). blessings...
