The subtle dangers of Torah worship in the New Covenant,

Law will never be “abolished” as law is present to define the behavior of evil men (1 Timothy 1:9) and law; both codified and spiritual, provide a context for divine and secular responses to same which mandates due process for order and peace. Law will be relevant in the “New Jerusalem” as free will there is extant by necessity.

Where you err, Ben, is your inordinate obsession’s with Torah and Hebrew Roots fanaticism not understanding that grace and faith have replaced Torah’s letters in the New Covenant.

You cling to the old hoping to receive the benefits of the NEW and my concern is that you’re trusting in Law + Faith to redeem you from sin and ingratiate yourself with Elohim in righteousness. Problem is, Ben, if you’re depending on Torah to supplement faith in Jesus, you ultimately lose both in heresy and your religion is foul and defined as a cult. Please be careful.

If you’re celebrating law in Torah because you are a traditionalist and love the order and pomp of Torah, the days, feasts, celebrations, celebrated in the Law Covenant, that’s OK…just understand that eternal life is not something that is earned through your work and obedience to Torah, but that life with Jesus is manifest solely by trusting, believing, in Jesus as your Messiah acknowledging that Jesus has done the work for you and you’re receiving the gift of forgiveness and eternal life solely by grace (unmerited favor). You have told me prior that you understand grace and faith as priority but your obsessive posts concerning Torah, the Old Covenant, keeping laws and commandments, belays your testimony of trust, belief, in Yeshua as essential.

Hebrew Roots: A dangerous passion for Torah Observance in the New Covenant…

Hebrew Roots; A passion for Torah Observance in the New Covenant? A concern, a warning, a better way…

Torah Law is of no relevance concerning obedience in the New Covenant. Torah could not provide righteousness or obedience for Jacob’s children nor could same provide guidance and obedience for the Apostles as they discussed the inclusion of the Gentile in the New Covenant as per Acts 15. Though Moses was read in the Synagogues, the law was discussed with pure intent yet subjectivity, relevance, situational relevance, were always at the forefront because the human conscience not only abhors authority but the conscience void the Spirit inevitably seeks obfuscation and rationalization. Letters don’t work in Judeo-Christian ethics, these letters don’t work in secular jurisprudence…the conscience absent the Spirit as an Arbiter is the obstacle.

A better way to approach Biblical obedience…. The New Covenant…

Torah, Letters, could never adequately tame the sin-nature but Elohim enacted a New and LIVING WAY for His redeemed to walk in righteousness; this, through His indwelling Spirit that arbitrates the conscience of the “new creation” the “new man” (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the focus of the New Covenant is on the Spirit and on divine fruit……it is this fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) that fulfills the obedient intent of every statute in Torah, every commandment of Jesus in the Decalogue and the two-greatest Commandments (John 15:8).

Hebrew Roots? A concern, a warning…

I suppose you are affiliated with the “Hebrew Roots” movement? Yes? Ben, if you desire to honor Torah and days, diets, clothing restrictions, feasts, you are perfectly welcomed to do so in the New Covenant…that can be an honorable thing, honoring Torah and traditions, there is NOTHING wrong or sinful with same UNLESS YOU ARE HONORING TORAH FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE. If you are honoring Torah in order to ingratiate yourself with Jesus and supplement His sufficiency to save you by faith, you are NOT redeemed, you remain in your sin, you are seeking death in Hell. Do you understand that?

Hebrew Roots – Judaism – Islam – Religion…a Path to death in Hell, here is why…

Hebrew Roots – Judaism – SDA – Islam – Catholicism i.e. “religion” are works cults that deceive the soul into Hell,

Sabbaths, days, diets, are part of a bygone covenant, they have ZERO relevance in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:7; 2 Corinthians 3). The New Covenant is not comprised of things “to do” but in Whom we believe by faith (John 3; Romans 3:1; Hebrews 11:6). The New Covenant is a Covenant of intimate relationship established by faith in Messiah Jesus and a daily walk in sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit where there is peace with the Father, eternally (John 3; Galatians 5; Romans 5:1).

If you worship at Sinai you will perish in your sin; If you worship at Golgotha, you will live, eternally.

The Sinai Decalogue is beautiful though it’s simply a fragmented, segmented, portion of Elohim’s eternal Spiritual Law written upon the heart; Sinai portrays via codification Elohim’s righteousness and His desires for Israel’s sanctification and holiness as Jacob’s children are a people group through whom Elohim endeavored to bring forth His Messiah via Judah and the Gospel ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); this, solely for eschatological purposes concerning Messiah’s primary purpose of “destroying the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b). Sinai is not to be worshiped nor is Sinai the path to eternal life with Elohim but Sinai is an eschatological roadmap relevant to sanctification for Israel pointing them to their need for Messiah by faith (Galatians 3:24).

All Law is summarized by the two-greatest Commandments (Matthew 22:36-40); Jesus articulated the greatest Commandments to those under the Law Covenant as Jesus came to those under Law to proselytize them in the Gospel of Grace via a New Covenant (Matthew 15:24; Galatians 4:4). A Gospel of Grace that was expounded upon by Messiah’s chosen Minister of the Gospel, Saul of Tarsus AKA Paul the Apostle (Galatians 1:11-17).

Fulfilling the Law in the New Covenant,

In the New Covenant of Grace, the “fruit of the Spirit” is the fulfillment of all Law, not letters or days or diets (Galatians 5:22-23). In the New Covenant, Christians serve through a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) that is arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16) via a Spiritual Law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Jeremiah 31; Ezekiel 36) and divine fruit is produced by the Spirit through the faithful in Jesus (Galatians 5:22-23); therefore, Christians don’t worship Sinai or Moses as their purposes have passed (2 Corinthians 3; Hebrews 8:7).

Conclusion,

The Covenant of Law was given solely to Jacob’s children and those seeking refuge in that theocracy and it is an incomplete Covenant as it only defines one’s sin and culpability void atonement (Romans 3:20; Hebrews 8:7; Galatians 2:16)). If you worship exclusively at Sinai, you will die in your sin (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16); If you worship at Golgotha by faith, you will live (John 14:6).
