Love watching you two!!! I have watched all your analysis on The the Chosen series (In which I’ve watched many times) and learn something new each time! I laugh right with you both. You both remind me of my two sons when they are in conversation. Thank you for your dedication and obedience. 💞✝️💞
Thank You Fellas! I LOVE how you bring us Closer to Understanding Yeshua, Yahweh, and the Ways we Want to Follow and Become! God Bless Y'all from the Heart of Texas!
Shalom, Sam and Tom! Y'shua said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law. I have not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it." This He did by living a sinless life and laying down that sinless life as the perfect atonement for sin, right?
Just had an epiphany today. If Jesus changed the law when he was tested by the Pharisees as some would say. They would have had a legitimate reason to kill him and would not have had to fabricate it.
No, this is what the Church wants you to believe because they have no way to get rid of the 613 Hebrew laws. Jesus was a Jew and why would he want to abolish the Hebrew laws? Christianity could not have began without getting rid of Jewish laws and beliefs.
The WORD fulfill in the greek is pla-o-roo which means to make full, filla up, give full meaning. Yahshua went on to say do not commit adultry, but I say to you, if you lust at a woman you have already comited adultry in your heart. Messiah came to teach us the fullness of the Law/Torah !!! Not destroy it!!!
This is TRUTH teaching … thank you for saying it so gently… it’s a hard teaching for the generations that we’re taught incorrectly about the Law or Torah.. Jesus was perfect with no sin .. so His commandments given to Moses He followed in His time on earth … sin is to be torah-less … I am a new Christian and we are now seeing this .. scales on the eyes have been removed about this .. grace does not let you “off the hook “ to the commandments …there is a through line of light all THE WAY through our Holy Bible to revelation 22:14 Obey God’s commands and you will be blessed .. Jesus is the fulfillment! Grafted is so fresh!!
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “This is the first and great commandment. “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37-39).
But it says in Leviticus 20:10 “‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife-with the wife of his neighbor-both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. do we obey that law also ?
How beautiful are the souls that preach the pure truth❤! Isaiah 42:21 is the fulfill meaning! Messiah came to Expand the Law and make it more honourable! Well done!
I love the phrase, "Keep reading." As a journalist and historian I always approach the Bible with the same principles of research: 1. Establish what we know from previous statements (testimonies, witness reports, etc.) Look for similar statements and this becomes your core evidence. 2. Place the evidence in context--there are four contexts: Historical, cultural, immediate (the chapter or book of Scripture), and whole (the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.) The conclusion is that the evidence must fit the context. This is what you have done here. I appreciate your exposition.
I think the hardest part of teaching people who reject Torah is understanding Galatians and in particular Gal 3:23-25. It says that the guardian or tutor, being the Law, is no longer needed now that the Teacher (Yeshua) has arrived. However, Gal 2:16 and 3:12 clearly identify the topic as justification and we do not claim that anyone is justified by obedience.
I just found your channel by watching a short video by someone else who used a portion from one of your videos. I think I just found a channel worth binge watching!!😮🎉😊❤ I’ve only seen this one so far, and I found it to be fresh and fun and educational! Thank you for what you are doing. I will be watching more of your videos and have already subscribed!
So, my understanding is that, yes, Jesus fulfilled the Law, and it is now written on our hearts, so that, if we are in Christ and staying close to Him, we don't have to strive to keep the Law, it's our natural bent now. Of course, yes, we're still human and that can get in the way, but when we are in close communion with Him, we don't need to "work" to do the right things, it's just who we are.
Can I just say from @3:33 to @4:02 is why I love you guys. Y’all are the best, and as a follower of Christ, I’m so grateful for your channel and ministry. Keep on keepin’ on!! Much love!!
Hey, Tom and Sam, I'm having a hard time grasping what you're trying to say. The way I understand what Jesus meant by saying He came to fulfill the law is that He's the only Person Who could follow and obey all 613 laws of Moses perfectly because we can't. Am I off with my understanding? If so, then please clarify. BTW, I'm a lot like Matthew in The Chosen. He doesn't understand metaphors, and I don't either. I have Asperger's. Can you simplify for me, as you might for Matthew? And one more thing....I'm a 65-year-old lady. Thank you, guys! 😊🙃🤗
Not sure about 613 laws... This is just a tradition and many official counts come up with different amounts. Either way, there were laws that Jesus did not keep because they were not for him, eg. laws for women, farmers, priests, etc. He did keep/gaurd all the laws for hebrew men, just like John "the baptist", etc. This is because in Exodus we are told that the law is NOT to difficult. Hope that makes sense... May The Most High gaurd you and keep you as you continue on this journey with Him, keeping your eyes on Jesus
Hi Kathie, Craig is right in saying that not every law was for every person. Only a small fraction would apply to you or me! But they all can be summed up as “love God and love your neighbor.” Craig is also right in saying that God himself tells us that his commands “aren’t too hard” and “you can do it.” (The only time in scripture you will see “you can do it” is when God is talking about his law! Growing up in the church, I was always taught it was all too hard, too crazy, or too weird. Our Father himself says it’s not too hard so who should we believe? A loving Father wouldn’t give us crazy or weird laws - they were and are all for the benefit of his set apart people :)
@@rootedinyeshua Okay, Lyndsie, I get what you're saying. 😊👍 But I still don't understand what did Jesus mean when He said He came to fulfill the law. It's as clear as mud to me. 🤔🤷♀️
@@kathierouse5306 hi. I realy enjoyed your comment, "clear as mud"😆😂 gave me a good smile this morning. I think there is a lot on this journey that has muddied the waters and we spend our days learning and allowing God's spirit to lead us and clear up the mess. For me personally I am spending much time, unlearning alot of that religion has taught me through my life and "muddied the waters for me". In Jeremiah there is a prophesy about how the gentiles have inherited lies and now God will begin ton"open our eyes to His ways. Going back to the term "fulfilling the law". this term and the term "destrying the law" were common terms used by Rabbais when the discussed and debated the scriptures trying to interpret. one would say you are "fullfilling" the law when you gaurded and interpreted to do the commands. and then they would say that you are "destroying" the law when you taught that the law was not vaild for practice. It would seem that Jesus was fullfilling the law by practicing it properly and teaching His disciples to also gaurd amd and practice it. the Greek word in the passage is "Pleroo" which used in a few other places in the "New Testament". it means to make full, and to abound. it never is explained as to be come not valid for practice, but quite the opostite. sorry to blab so long. hope my rambling is of some help. Have a blessed day
It’s important to identify the law being spoken of is that of the ten commandments- the first four speak to man’s relationship with God and the remaining 6, man’s relationship with each other. This is why Jesus summed them up with 1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength and 2. Love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus was not speaking of the rules that were given specifically to the Jewish people for daily living and sacrifice.
My take-away is you can't pick and choose the parts of the law to meet your own thinking and needs. Our secular world has created all these "personal" ideas of practicing the faith.
Yeah but the question remains, and I think this is what most Christians are worried about at some point, what happens when you break the law, and what's the penalty. Basically, what's the penal code before Jesus and after Jesus. Because before Jesus they had a system of offerings and sacrifices, but Jesus became that Lamb that atones for the sins of all who believe He is the Son of God, and that's what most Jews did not understand or accept, even to this day. Thank you Lord!
May I add that the word "LOVE" is typically an action word throughout the Bible. It is not a feeling as it is in English. It is not a warm, fuzzy feeling, it means to, DO SOMETHING. It means, DO THOSE THINGS that reflect God's character, which is spelled out in His laws, in His Torah.
I loved this explanation. Can you explain how this applies to the Sabbath? Is every rule about the Sabbath supposed to be obeyed? Does it matter that the Pope changed the Sabbath day to Sunday?
The word "πληρῶσαι" is a Greek verb, and it comes from the verb "πληρόω" (plēróo), which means "to fill," "to complete," or "to fulfill." In the context of the aorist tense, "πληρῶσαι" indicates a completed action in the past related to filling or fulfilling something. It can imply the completion of a task, the fulfillment of a requirement, or the accomplishment of a goal. It is done.
He didn’t come to abolish or replace the law. He fulfilled it in two ways: first in the way that he lived his life fully human while fully God. As flesh and blood he lived without sin fulfilling the law in that way. And the other way he fulfilled it was in all that he suffered for us unto death paying the penalty for our sins. There could be no forgiveness of sin without shedding blood. And that sealed a new covenant whereby believing in him and accepting that gift we obtain forgiveness of our sins and he shares his righteousness with us. We are still accountable to the law but because of him we can be forgiven and redeemed.
@@johnsinclair2672 1 Peter 2: 22He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. Isaiah 53: 3He was despised and rejectedb by men, a man of sorrowsc and acquainted withd grief;e and as one from whom men hide their facesf he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. 8By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? 9And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
Ive been down this path of interpretation, one of the key problems with "law" groups is that there is no recognition of messiah born under the age of law and his death and blood bringing a new covenant where the law is fulfilled. Law groups only keep parts of the law, the rest is by defacto no longer applicable.....temple sacrifices etc
This is a very good teaching. However most people that argue against the law have the Sabbath and the dietary laws in mind. So how does eating or not eating unclean foods fit in with loving God and loving your neighbor. All of the rest is pretty clear.
Jesus tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, but how do we know _how_ to love God and our neighbors? That's where the Law comes into play. We can show our love of God and our neighbors by obeying the commandments.
If the civil and ceremonial laws of the covenant are still to be followed, doesn't that mean we still have to do things like animal sacrifice? It says in Leviticus Chapter 15 that when women are free of their affliction of menustration, we are to wait 7 days and only then are we purified. And on the 8th day we are to bring a Pigeon and Turtledove to a Priest as sacrifice to atone to God for our unclean flow. This is just one example.
@@yeshuaisisaiah9650 Hello Brother how are you Jesus is not God incarnate There is not a single text in the Bible in which Jesus says I am God incarnate He did not say that I am God, he said that he is a prophet and a human being The first of all the commandments is: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one” (Mark 12:29). Jesus is a prophet and messenger of God
@@debrahurst4130 thank you for replying We cannot know Jesus, peace be upon him, better than those who lived with him Those who believed in Christ at his time believed in him as a man and a prophet only (1) And this is blind, Christ opened his eyes, and the people asked him about Christ, and he said that he is a prophet (They also said to the blind man: What do you say about him as he opened your eyes?” He said: He is a prophet. - Gospel of John 9:17. (2) And when the people heard the words of Jesus, they said, This is a prophet: (Many of the crowd, when they heard these words, said: This is indeed the prophet, and this John the Apostle is narrating from the people that they knew him that he was a prophet). - The Gospel of John 7:40 (3) (When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said: This is indeed the prophet to come.) - The Gospel of John 6:14 (4) And this is a Samaritan woman who knew him as a prophet. The woman said to him: “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.” - Gospel of John 4:19. (5) This is another text in which one of the disciples says that Jesus is a prophet (Jesus, who was a man, a prophet mighty before God). - The Gospel of Luke 24:19 (6) And here is one of the disciples, Luke, who says about Christ as a prophet (Glorify God, saying: A great prophet has risen in us). - Luke 7:16 (7) And this is a text in which the revelation says Gabriel to Jesus, bringing good tidings to him that he is a prophet (and you, boy, are the prophet of the Most High, you will be called). - Gospel of Luke 1:76. (8) And this is a second text in which people know that he is a prophet (the crowds said: This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee). - Gospel of Matthew 21:11.
So if not a jot or tittle has passed from the law, then we should still be circumcising, offering sacrifices, going to the temple to worship, not eating pork, etc? These are more than jots and tittles and they can't pass away until heaven and earth pass away. I think you miss the point in v18.
Ezekiel 7:10-18 10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their’s: neither shall there be wailing for them. 12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in his iniquity. 14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 15 The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. 16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. 17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horrow shall cover them; and shame shall be upon their faces, and baldness upon their heads.
As an ex Muslim believer, who came to know Christ BY GRACE ALONE, almost like Paul, who speaks 7 languages and who read the Scriptures multiple times in several Semitic languages, this is what I would say: if Jesus came to abolish the Law of YHWY, then won’t that be almost like a Coup d’ Etat? Basically, you abolish what you DO NOT AGREE WITH. Jesus came to AVODAH the FATHER (serve, work and worship ABBA FATHER), which is what Adam was supposed to do. The Hebrew word “avodah,” is the same word used for both work, service and worship of YHWY in the original text of the Bible. This is not an accident…the true obligation if a servant (believer) is not merely to worship in words, but to do the difficult work of service as onto the LORD and do onto others as to ourselves: AVODAH. This is the same word used for submission ONTO ONE ANOTHER, the brethren, man to Christ and wife to husband. ❤❤❤ Just like the beginning, we as human beings (Ben Adam) we try to find our “own relative true” in everything by our own understanding instead of accepting the absolute TRUTH OF GOD, which Christ came to model and fulfill ( lekayem in Hebrew) in the flesh.
I wish you would have gone further into this study to include the truth about the 4th commandment--Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the SEVENTH day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it, thou shalt not do any work...." Exodus 20:8-11. In the book of Hebrews, Paul writes in the 4th chapter, about the Sabbath and whether or not it had been changed. "For if Jesus had given them rest, then would He not afterwards have spoken of another day? There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." (Hebrews 4:8, 9, KJV) (Note: punctuation did not exist in printed form until after the invention of the Gutenberg press. Early Bible scribes did not use spacing between words, nor punctuation, nor indentations between paragraphs, which has led to much confusion regarding divisions of chapters and verses, as well as misinterpretations.) Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and when He rebuked the Pharisees concerning healings on Sabbath or plucking grain, He was pointing out the legalism of their oral traditions and hypocrisies concerning Sabbath, as they had ignored the Spirit of Sabbath and its true intention. He was in no way changing the Sabbath. By resting on the seventh day at Creation, God was also pointing to the Second Coming when His faithful people would be resting from the persecution of the world in Heaven. He was showing in the fourth commandment that He is the Creator and Sovereign over all of Heaven and Earth and the Seas. It was His Sovereign seal, not unlike that of the British monarchs, whose seal contained their name, title and dominion. So the Sabbath contains God's name, His title as Creator, and His dominion over all creation. Satan on the other hand has always desired to sit on the throne in place of Christ, and instituted worship on the first day in Babel, when Nimrod started his own religion and built his famous Tower. This is the earliest settlement of Babylon, and the Apostles used the code name: "Babylon" to refer to Rome (1 Peter 5:13), which in their day was merely a civil government, but later in the 4th century under Constantine became both a civil AND religious power when the ruling emperor relinquished all authority to the early Catholic church under Pope Gregory I. Revelation also refers to the Papacy (not the individual believers, but the papal power) as Babylon and begs His people to come out of her. (Revelation 18:1-4). John the apostle was not ignorant as to who Babylon referred to. I was raised Catholic and there are many faithful Catholics in that denomination who will be in Heaven, of this I have no doubt. But I was kicked out of Madonna Academy when I was 14 years old and subsequently my neighborhood Catholic church, for calling them out on changing the Sabbath to Sunday as a sign of their authority over the Scriptures and their substitute (vicar) for Christ on earth. I have books of their own publications as proof of this on my bookshelf as I write this. I have also written a small book about my testimony of discovering the seventh day Sabbath in the Catholic church as a teen studying the catechism for my Confirmation. I spent seven years searching every religion for one that kept Sabbath, and ironically I thought I knew everything I needed to know about Judaism because I had many Jewish friends, and thought since they didn't accept Jesus as Messiah, it was not for me. I didn't know they kept Sabbath nor were there Jews who had accepted Jesus as Messiah. (But then this was North Miami Beach where Jews only kept Passover and Hannukah, much like Catholics who only kept Easter and Christmas.) Anyway, if you would like to read my in-depth testimony, I offer a free digital copy of it, if you will provide an email address to send it to (the file is 94 pages). It is available on Amazon, but I do not want money for things God has given me to share.
Hey Grafted Family, I have a question. Of course it is clear that Jesus did not abolish the law. He fulfilled it. You pointed out that we are to love the Lord and others as the two commandments that Jesus gave. These are to fulfill the law and the prophets. But are with the ceremonial laws and the other moral laws? Like eating laws and so forth? Because I have heard that the vision of Peter of all unclean animals did not mean that we can now eat everything we want… or how is it?
These are great questions. Peter himself says the vision is not about food - it’s about people. So definitely take that into consideration when you’re understanding scripture. It’s also interesting how Peter talks about “unclean or common” and that is something worth looking into to understand more about what Peter was saying.
Never forget that Jesus answer to the Jewish Lawyer was this: the greatest Law of all is to Love others as Yourself: and then he gave an example in the parable of the Good Samaritan--take care of those you even hate--regardless of reason or social standing...That was Jesus summation of God...the summation of the most important Law...dts/usa
Yeshua (God) used and uses the Law to bring all those created in His image to the end of themselves. We all need to reach the end of ourselves to see the need for salvation. Yeshua of course DID NOT abolish the Law. There was no Law until Moses at Sinai. The law is holy and righteous but can't be fulfilled by OUR behavior, only Jesus' (Yeshua) behavior. "Love God with all your heart ..."- not possible. "If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out" -not possible. So, if WE can't live up to the standards of the Law then how can we ever be accepted as righteous?-through Jesus Christ (Yeshua) and by His finished work at the cross. The Law is a mirror to show us our flaws. The law doesn't or can't save souls. The Law condemns, Grace saves. " The Law came through Moses (a servant) Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ (the Son of God). Let's not put new wine (new covenant) in old wineskins (old covenant). Love you guys!❤
Dear grafted please pray that my elephant and my stuffed animals for full cell so that I can support you currently always relying on God disabled and unemployed but resting in the my Lord Yeshua take care guys and know that you are in my prayers
AMEN... The Law is good... that it reveals sin... but thats all it can do... The law was added to prepare God's people of the coming Messiah.... when the full weight of sin and death is upon us... we seek a saviour and we turn to Christ... we see the cost... we see the full weight of his Grace... and it is this Grace that saves us from our sin... for it is the goodness of God that leads a man into repentance and into Trusting Christ... which ultimately leads to loving worship which GLORIFIES GOD and gives honour to his Name which the enemy of God HATES he hates God being praised... he wants us to be miserable and to curse God (for me, this is what brings the most suffering here on earth, the lack of worship to God, the lack of Praise, the lack of words speaking of His Glory of his Goodness. all the talk is of vain things... it can be so cold and lifeless... the world is void of hope... Man shall not leave by bread alone!) the enemy is very very cunning... even once saved and grafted into The Vine... his goal is to make you slip... to sin and feel ashamed and try to earn Gods grace again... to try to earn Gods favour by making amends... which will lead to frustration... and ultimately distance between you and God... the further away from Christ you are, you will wither... and once again God will not be receiving any thanksgiving... May our sin lead us not to despair but to the Throne of Grace where we SHALL be forgiven ALL our sins and find comfort in his presence we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.... if we Sin (God forbid) he will use it for our Good, to discipline and to reveal to us the exceeding riches of his grace towards us ^ God's grace to His people is continuous and is never exhausted. and it is HUMBLING Besides obviously Christ, another time that I have experienced such GRACE... was when I was on a drug comedown and my nephew & niece were over my house... they were climbing all over me while I was laying on the floor DEAD INSIDE... they wouldn't stop showering me with affection and love, even though I gave them nothing.. they just kept climbing all over me, they clung to me... they were relentless, eventually that day their love BROKE ME... I saw how beautiful they were, so innocent, kind and gracious towards me... an undeserving ugly selfish person who gave them nothing back... I ran to the bathroom, shut the door and wept out to God God has already given us His Word ... Jesus... who is the YES AND AMEN to all of his Promises IT MEANS GOD IS FOR YOU... NOT AGAINST YOU “Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends." Don't let Sin separate you from God... and don't let the guilt of Sin separate you from God... LET NOTHING SEPERATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF GOD... FOR NOTHING DOES! .... Just come to him, submit and let the potter be the potter... and you be the Clay. He will make all things new
Wow! What a beautiful story of your nephew and niece! Praise God for He too loved you so much to show you this through using your nephew and niece! Thank you for sharing!
The “Temple” by Hebraic understanding was known as Heaven & Earth… 70a.d. It passed away when it was destroyed. Therefore Heaven & Earth did pass away.
The commandments contained in ordinances are abolished but not the covenant commandments which are now written on the hearts of those who have received His Spirit
@@debravan-aalst4723 And as a gentile, when did you enter into the Mosaic covenant, which is a conditional covenant issued to the genetic Jewish people at Sinai? As a gentile, you only have access to the new covenant with Jesus, as the old covenant was not offered to you. And you can only be part of one covenant at a time, so if you're a Jew, which I suspect you are not, then which covenant are you a part of?

Yes the keeping of the Law of Moses (which was specifically for the nation of Israel) is abolished, completed, fulfilled. When there is a change in the 'priesthood' there is a change in the Law! Gods Law is Eternal but the 'keeping' of the Law is done as Christ fulfilled it on behalf of ALL those who couldn't which is basically the human race! The Law was a schoolmaster which pointed to Christ!
He did NOT replace the law, he came to FULFILL the law. We are always under the law; just now new commandments - Love GOD with your whole heart, mind and soul; Love your NEIGHBOR as yourself. Those two new commandments are the FULFILLMENT OF THE ENTIRE LAW.
You mention that he did not come to abolish the law, twice, and that's because that's exactly what he meant. He did not come to abolish it. He came to fulfill all that was written about him in it. And he said that nothing would change about the law until all was fulfilled. What does he mean regarding all needing to be fulfilled? Does he mean every event until the end of all time? No. He means it would be easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for anything to change about the law until he fulfills all that was written about him in the law. Did he accomplish that? Yes, he did. And that is why on the cross he says it is finished. And then all authority in heaven and on earth was given to him. And now no man comes to the Father except through him. Did things change about the law after the resurrection as evidenced in the scriptures and in the book of Acts etc? Absolutely. Why? Because all was accomplished by Jesus when he fulfilled what was written about him and the law and the prophets. So what law are we under then if we are no longer under the Mosaic laws? The law of Christ. We follow his commands. That is our law.
The. First four commandments are how to love God, the next six commandments is how to love our fellow man.
I love how you guys describe scripture 😀😀😀😀

Good morning from Western Australia (yup, the less populated state!) thanks for the soul food once again!
This is TRUTH teaching … thank you for saying it so gently… it’s a hard teaching for the generations that we’re taught incorrectly about the Law or Torah.. Jesus was perfect with no sin .. so His commandments given to Moses He followed in His time on earth … sin is to be torah-less … I am a new Christian and we are now seeing this .. scales on the eyes have been removed about this .. grace does not let you “off the hook “ to the commandments …there is a through line of light all THE WAY through our Holy Bible to revelation 22:14
Obey God’s commands and you will be blessed .. Jesus is the fulfillment! Grafted is so fresh!!
If you love Me keep My commandments.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “This is the first and great commandment. “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37-39).
@@evangelesong6319Gal. 3:24 - “Wherefore the Law works as a schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ.”
So grateful for how clearly you both presented this. The essence of God is Love.
So good!! Love listening to you! God bless your ministry. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just love u guys!! I get joy and truth at the same time!
Amen! Leviticus 19:18 Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
But it says in Leviticus 20:10
“‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife-with the wife of his neighbor-both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. do we obey that law also ?
How beautiful are the souls that preach the pure truth❤!
Isaiah 42:21 is the fulfill meaning!
Messiah came to Expand the Law and make it more honourable!
Well done!
This is sooo good.. thank you Sam and Tom. 👍🏽😍
Shalom Sam and Tom absolutely well said
Good job. You guys made it so simple and clear. Thank you
I love the phrase, "Keep reading." As a journalist and historian I always approach the Bible with the same principles of research: 1. Establish what we know from previous statements (testimonies, witness reports, etc.) Look for similar statements and this becomes your core evidence. 2. Place the evidence in context--there are four contexts: Historical, cultural, immediate (the chapter or book of Scripture), and whole (the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.) The conclusion is that the evidence must fit the context. This is what you have done here. I appreciate your exposition.
Thank you for these principles of research. Very helpful!
Hello Grafted Guys..please remind your listeners where we may email you. Loved your teaching. Such an important topic!! Blessings to both of you..

Hi there.
Love that you folks are trying to help define the word fulfill. Just wondering why you folks skipped over Matthew 5:20.
Grace and peace - from Indiana.
Amazing teaching brothers!!! I’m subbing!
I think the hardest part of teaching people who reject Torah is understanding Galatians and in particular Gal 3:23-25. It says that the guardian or tutor, being the Law, is no longer needed now that the Teacher (Yeshua) has arrived. However, Gal 2:16 and 3:12 clearly identify the topic as justification and we do not claim that anyone is justified by obedience.
Awesome video!!! Thank you 💥❤

Great discussion guys
It does not mean he came to change what the law was but he came to live it in its correct interpretation as how God gave it to them.
BOOM. Yes
So, my understanding is that, yes, Jesus fulfilled the Law, and it is now written on our hearts, so that, if we are in Christ and staying close to Him, we don't have to strive to keep the Law, it's our natural bent now. Of course, yes, we're still human and that can get in the way, but when we are in close communion with Him, we don't need to "work" to do the right things, it's just who we are.
Can I just say from @3:33 to @4:02 is why I love you guys. Y’all are the best, and as a follower of Christ, I’m so grateful for your channel and ministry. Keep on keepin’ on!!
Much love!!
Excellent video. Keep it up. All praise to the most High God.
Thank you!
Hey, Tom and Sam, I'm having a hard time grasping what you're trying to say. The way I understand what Jesus meant by saying He came to fulfill the law is that He's the only Person Who could follow and obey all 613 laws of Moses perfectly because we can't. Am I off with my understanding? If so, then please clarify. BTW, I'm a lot like Matthew in The Chosen. He doesn't understand metaphors, and I don't either. I have Asperger's. Can you simplify for me, as you might for Matthew? And one more thing....I'm a 65-year-old lady. Thank you, guys! 😊🙃🤗
Yes! This!! PLEASE address the fulfilling of the Law and how that affects the 613 Laws!!! Please.
Not sure about 613 laws... This is just a tradition and many official counts come up with different amounts. Either way, there were laws that Jesus did not keep because they were not for him, eg. laws for women, farmers, priests, etc. He did keep/gaurd all the laws for hebrew men, just like John "the baptist", etc. This is because in Exodus we are told that the law is NOT to difficult. Hope that makes sense... May The Most High gaurd you and keep you as you continue on this journey with Him, keeping your eyes on Jesus
Hi Kathie, Craig is right in saying that not every law was for every person. Only a small fraction would apply to you or me! But they all can be summed up as “love God and love your neighbor.” Craig is also right in saying that God himself tells us that his commands “aren’t too hard” and “you can do it.” (The only time in scripture you will see “you can do it” is when God is talking about his law! Growing up in the church, I was always taught it was all too hard, too crazy, or too weird. Our Father himself says it’s not too hard so who should we believe? A loving Father wouldn’t give us crazy or weird laws - they were and are all for the benefit of his set apart people :)

Okay, Lyndsie, I get what you're saying. 😊👍 But I still don't understand what did Jesus mean when He said He came to fulfill the law. It's as clear as mud to me. 🤔🤷♀️
@@kathierouse5306 hi. I realy enjoyed your comment, "clear as mud"😆😂 gave me a good smile this morning. I think there is a lot on this journey that has muddied the waters and we spend our days learning and allowing God's spirit to lead us and clear up the mess. For me personally I am spending much time, unlearning alot of that religion has taught me through my life and "muddied the waters for me". In Jeremiah there is a prophesy about how the gentiles have inherited lies and now God will begin ton"open our eyes to His ways.
Going back to the term "fulfilling the law". this term and the term "destrying the law" were common terms used by Rabbais when the discussed and debated the scriptures trying to interpret. one would say you are "fullfilling" the law when you gaurded and interpreted to do the commands. and then they would say that you are "destroying" the law when you taught that the law was not vaild for practice. It would seem that Jesus was fullfilling the law by practicing it properly and teaching His disciples to also gaurd amd and practice it.
the Greek word in the passage is "Pleroo" which used in a few other places in the "New Testament". it means to make full, and to abound. it never is explained as to be come not valid for practice, but quite the opostite.
sorry to blab so long. hope my rambling is of some help. Have a blessed day
The ceremonial sacrificial law was done away with when Jesus died on the cross , the Ten Commandment laws are still binding.
Just hearing you quote Romans 13:10 felt fulfilling in and of itself.
It’s important to identify the law being spoken of is that of the ten commandments- the first four speak to man’s relationship with God and the remaining 6, man’s relationship with each other. This is why Jesus summed them up with 1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength and 2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus was not speaking of the rules that were given specifically to the Jewish people for daily living and sacrifice.
My take-away is you can't pick and choose the parts of the law to meet your own thinking and needs. Our secular world has created all these "personal" ideas of practicing the faith.
You guys are great
Yeah but the question remains, and I think this is what most Christians are worried about at some point, what happens when you break the law, and what's the penalty. Basically, what's the penal code before Jesus and after Jesus. Because before Jesus they had a system of offerings and sacrifices, but Jesus became that Lamb that atones for the sins of all who believe He is the Son of God, and that's what most Jews did not understand or accept, even to this day. Thank you Lord!
I just love you two brothers.
May I add that the word "LOVE" is typically an action word throughout the Bible. It is not a feeling as it is in English. It is not a warm, fuzzy feeling, it means to, DO SOMETHING. It means, DO THOSE THINGS that reflect God's character, which is spelled out in His laws, in His Torah.
Genius I had to subscribe All praise to God
Was he also saying that the laws are not mandatory ie specifics like not eating pork or keeping the sabbath but moving us on from milk to solid food?
I loved this explanation. Can you explain how this applies to the Sabbath? Is every rule about the Sabbath supposed to be obeyed? Does it matter that the Pope changed the Sabbath day to Sunday?
Answering to the last question: all I see is that the Pope gave HIMSELF the authority to make changes to God's Word, God didn't do that.
I learned it: the first 4 is God to us (vertical)
The you will/will not are people (horizontal ) thus making the shape of the cross
The word "πληρῶσαι" is a Greek verb, and it comes from the verb "πληρόω" (plēróo), which means "to fill," "to complete," or "to fulfill." In the context of the aorist tense, "πληρῶσαι" indicates a completed action in the past related to filling or fulfilling something. It can imply the completion of a task, the fulfillment of a requirement, or the accomplishment of a goal. It is done.
He didn’t come to abolish or replace the law. He fulfilled it in two ways: first in the way that he lived his life fully human while fully God. As flesh and blood he lived without sin fulfilling the law in that way. And the other way he fulfilled it was in all that he suffered for us unto death paying the penalty for our sins. There could be no forgiveness of sin without shedding blood. And that sealed a new covenant whereby believing in him and accepting that gift we obtain forgiveness of our sins and he shares his righteousness with us. We are still accountable to the law but because of him we can be forgiven and redeemed.
How did his death absolve us from our sins?

1 Peter 2: 22He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Isaiah 53: 3He was despised and rejectedb by men,
a man of sorrowsc and acquainted withd grief;e
and as one from whom men hide their facesf
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned-every one-to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him;
he has put him to grief;
when his soul makes an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
12Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Brilliant!
When they say the law are they talking about the 10 commandments or the 613 laws ?
Ive been down this path of interpretation, one of the key problems with "law" groups is that there is no recognition of messiah born under the age of law and his death and blood bringing a new covenant where the law is fulfilled. Law groups only keep parts of the law, the rest is by defacto no longer applicable.....temple sacrifices etc
Got a link to an explanation for this?
Compare and contrast "our neighbor" with our 'brothers and sisters in Christ' please.
Thanks
You guys are brilliant 👏!!! Well, Jesus was brilliant! ✝️✡🌌🌎🇮🇱🇺🇸🛡⚔🥰
This is a very good teaching. However most people that argue against the law have the Sabbath and the dietary laws in mind. So how does eating or not eating unclean foods fit in with loving God and loving your neighbor. All of the rest is pretty clear.
Can you do a video explaining/teaching 1 Corinthians 11!?
Because God is love
Jesus tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, but how do we know _how_ to love God and our neighbors? That's where the Law comes into play. We can show our love of God and our neighbors by obeying the commandments.
If the civil and ceremonial laws of the covenant are still to be followed, doesn't that mean we still have to do things like animal sacrifice? It says in Leviticus Chapter 15 that when women are free of their affliction of menustration, we are to wait 7 days and only then are we purified. And on the 8th day we are to bring a Pigeon and Turtledove to a Priest as sacrifice to atone to God for our unclean flow. This is just one example.
Enjoy the video
Yes we are under Jesus’ grace. We have the law now in our hearts. We must obey Jesus.

Hello Brother how are you
Jesus is not God incarnate
There is not a single text in the Bible in which Jesus says I am God incarnate
He did not say that I am God, he said that he is a prophet and a human being
The first of all the commandments is: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one” (Mark 12:29).
Jesus is a prophet and messenger of God
@@walid4184 I don't think were reading the same scriptures. Jesus is more than a prophet. God made a virgin pregnant.
@@debrahurst4130
thank you for replying
We cannot know Jesus, peace be upon him, better than those who lived with him
Those who believed in Christ at his time believed in him as a man and a prophet only
(1) And this is blind, Christ opened his eyes, and the people asked him about Christ, and he said that he is a prophet
(They also said to the blind man: What do you say about him as he opened your eyes?” He said: He is a prophet. - Gospel of John 9:17.
(2) And when the people heard the words of Jesus, they said, This is a prophet: (Many of the crowd, when they heard these words, said: This is indeed the prophet, and this John the Apostle is narrating from the people that they knew him that he was a prophet). - The Gospel of John 7:40
(3) (When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said: This is indeed the prophet to come.) - The Gospel of John 6:14
(4) And this is a Samaritan woman who knew him as a prophet. The woman said to him: “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.” - Gospel of John 4:19.
(5) This is another text in which one of the disciples says that Jesus is a prophet (Jesus, who was a man, a prophet mighty before God). - The Gospel of Luke 24:19
(6) And here is one of the disciples, Luke, who says about Christ as a prophet (Glorify God, saying: A great prophet has risen in us). - Luke 7:16
(7) And this is a text in which the revelation says Gabriel to Jesus, bringing good tidings to him that he is a prophet (and you, boy, are the prophet of the Most High, you will be called). - Gospel of Luke 1:76.
(8) And this is a second text in which people know that he is a prophet (the crowds said: This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee). - Gospel of Matthew 21:11.
So if not a jot or tittle has passed from the law, then we should still be circumcising, offering sacrifices, going to the temple to worship, not eating pork, etc? These are more than jots and tittles and they can't pass away until heaven and earth pass away. I think you miss the point in v18.
Jews also teach gentiles can be Noahids.
Good stuff guys
Ezekiel 7:10-18
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their’s: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in his iniquity.
14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horrow shall cover them; and shame shall be upon their faces, and baldness upon their heads.
As an ex Muslim believer, who came to know Christ BY GRACE ALONE, almost like Paul, who speaks 7 languages and who read the Scriptures multiple times in several Semitic languages, this is what I would say: if Jesus came to abolish the Law of YHWY, then won’t that be almost like a Coup d’ Etat? Basically, you abolish what you DO NOT AGREE WITH. Jesus came to AVODAH the FATHER (serve, work and worship ABBA FATHER), which is what Adam was supposed to do. The Hebrew word “avodah,” is the same word used for both work, service and worship of YHWY in the original text of the Bible. This is not an accident…the true obligation if a servant (believer) is not merely to worship in words, but to do the difficult work of service as onto the LORD and do onto others as to ourselves: AVODAH. This is the same word used for submission ONTO ONE ANOTHER, the brethren, man to Christ and wife to husband.
❤❤❤
Just like the beginning, we as human beings (Ben Adam) we try to find our “own relative true” in everything by our own understanding instead of accepting the absolute TRUTH OF GOD, which Christ came to model and fulfill ( lekayem in Hebrew) in the flesh.
😂😅🤣😂, Full-fill, funny...knee slapper. Great explanation 😇
Is Jesus referring to Moses's other 613 commandments which were not v nice and not about love?????
Moral, civil, ceremonial laws I am assuming they are talking about moral law. Otherwise we would still be making sacrifices.
The “keep reading Principle” is why I don’t use verse by verse bibles anymore.
Hey guys!
I love how as they go through the video they realize it’s really Grace 🤣
I wish you would have gone further into this study to include the truth about the 4th commandment--Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the SEVENTH day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it, thou shalt not do any work...." Exodus 20:8-11. In the book of Hebrews, Paul writes in the 4th chapter, about the Sabbath and whether or not it had been changed. "For if Jesus had given them rest, then would He not afterwards have spoken of another day? There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." (Hebrews 4:8, 9, KJV) (Note: punctuation did not exist in printed form until after the invention of the Gutenberg press. Early Bible scribes did not use spacing between words, nor punctuation, nor indentations between paragraphs, which has led to much confusion regarding divisions of chapters and verses, as well as misinterpretations.) Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and when He rebuked the Pharisees concerning healings on Sabbath or plucking grain, He was pointing out the legalism of their oral traditions and hypocrisies concerning Sabbath, as they had ignored the Spirit of Sabbath and its true intention. He was in no way changing the Sabbath. By resting on the seventh day at Creation, God was also pointing to the Second Coming when His faithful people would be resting from the persecution of the world in Heaven. He was showing in the fourth commandment that He is the Creator and Sovereign over all of Heaven and Earth and the Seas. It was His Sovereign seal, not unlike that of the British monarchs, whose seal contained their name, title and dominion. So the Sabbath contains God's name, His title as Creator, and His dominion over all creation. Satan on the other hand has always desired to sit on the throne in place of Christ, and instituted worship on the first day in Babel, when Nimrod started his own religion and built his famous Tower. This is the earliest settlement of Babylon, and the Apostles used the code name: "Babylon" to refer to Rome (1 Peter 5:13), which in their day was merely a civil government, but later in the 4th century under Constantine became both a civil AND religious power when the ruling emperor relinquished all authority to the early Catholic church under Pope Gregory I. Revelation also refers to the Papacy (not the individual believers, but the papal power) as Babylon and begs His people to come out of her. (Revelation 18:1-4). John the apostle was not ignorant as to who Babylon referred to. I was raised Catholic and there are many faithful Catholics in that denomination who will be in Heaven, of this I have no doubt. But I was kicked out of Madonna Academy when I was 14 years old and subsequently my neighborhood Catholic church, for calling them out on changing the Sabbath to Sunday as a sign of their authority over the Scriptures and their substitute (vicar) for Christ on earth. I have books of their own publications as proof of this on my bookshelf as I write this. I have also written a small book about my testimony of discovering the seventh day Sabbath in the Catholic church as a teen studying the catechism for my Confirmation. I spent seven years searching every religion for one that kept Sabbath, and ironically I thought I knew everything I needed to know about Judaism because I had many Jewish friends, and thought since they didn't accept Jesus as Messiah, it was not for me. I didn't know they kept Sabbath nor were there Jews who had accepted Jesus as Messiah. (But then this was North Miami Beach where Jews only kept Passover and Hannukah, much like Catholics who only kept Easter and Christmas.) Anyway, if you would like to read my in-depth testimony, I offer a free digital copy of it, if you will provide an email address to send it to (the file is 94 pages). It is available on Amazon, but I do not want money for things God has given me to share.
Hey Grafted Family,
I have a question. Of course it is clear that Jesus did not abolish the law. He fulfilled it. You pointed out that we are to love the Lord and others as the two commandments that Jesus gave. These are to fulfill the law and the prophets. But are with the ceremonial laws and the other moral laws? Like eating laws and so forth? Because I have heard that the vision of Peter of all unclean animals did not mean that we can now eat everything we want… or how is it?
These are great questions. Peter himself says the vision is not about food - it’s about people. So definitely take that into consideration when you’re understanding scripture. It’s also interesting how Peter talks about “unclean or common” and that is something worth looking into to understand more about what Peter was saying.
@@rootedinyeshua yup, learning about that distinction of common is huge!!
Never forget that Jesus answer to the Jewish Lawyer was this: the greatest Law of all is to Love others as Yourself: and then he gave an example in the parable of the Good Samaritan--take care of those you even hate--regardless of reason or social standing...That was Jesus summation of God...the summation of the most important Law...dts/usa
Yeshua (God) used and uses the Law to bring all those created in His image to the end of themselves. We all need to reach the end of ourselves to see the need for salvation. Yeshua of course DID NOT abolish the Law. There was no Law until Moses at Sinai. The law is holy and righteous but can't be fulfilled by OUR behavior, only Jesus' (Yeshua) behavior. "Love God with all your heart ..."- not possible. "If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out" -not possible. So, if WE can't live up to the standards of the Law then how can we ever be accepted as righteous?-through Jesus Christ (Yeshua) and by His finished work at the cross. The Law is a mirror to show us our flaws. The law doesn't or can't save souls. The Law condemns, Grace saves. " The Law came through Moses (a servant) Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ (the Son of God). Let's not put new wine (new covenant) in old wineskins (old covenant).
Love you guys!❤
I wouldn’t say there wasn’t law until moses
Dear grafted please pray that my elephant and my stuffed animals for full cell so that I can support you currently always relying on God disabled and unemployed but resting in the my Lord Yeshua take care guys and know that you are in my prayers
AMEN... The Law is good... that it reveals sin... but thats all it can do... The law was added to prepare God's people of the coming Messiah.... when the full weight of sin and death is upon us... we seek a saviour and we turn to Christ... we see the cost... we see the full weight of his Grace... and it is this Grace that saves us from our sin... for it is the goodness of God that leads a man into repentance and into Trusting Christ... which ultimately leads to loving worship which GLORIFIES GOD and gives honour to his Name
which the enemy of God HATES
he hates God being praised... he wants us to be miserable and to curse God (for me, this is what brings the most suffering here on earth, the lack of worship to God, the lack of Praise, the lack of words speaking of His Glory of his Goodness. all the talk is of vain things... it can be so cold and lifeless... the world is void of hope... Man shall not leave by bread alone!)
the enemy is very very cunning... even once saved and grafted into The Vine... his goal is to make you slip... to sin and feel ashamed and try to earn Gods grace again... to try to earn Gods favour by making amends... which will lead to frustration... and ultimately distance between you and God... the further away from Christ you are, you will wither... and once again God will not be receiving any thanksgiving... May our sin lead us not to despair but to the Throne of Grace where we SHALL be forgiven ALL our sins and find comfort in his presence
we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.... if we Sin (God forbid) he will use it for our Good, to discipline and to reveal to us the exceeding riches of his grace towards us
^ God's grace to His people is continuous and is never exhausted.
and it is HUMBLING
Besides obviously Christ, another time that I have experienced such GRACE... was when I was on a drug comedown and my nephew & niece were over my house... they were climbing all over me while I was laying on the floor DEAD INSIDE... they wouldn't stop showering me with affection and love, even though I gave them nothing.. they just kept climbing all over me, they clung to me... they were relentless, eventually that day their love BROKE ME... I saw how beautiful they were, so innocent, kind and gracious towards me... an undeserving ugly selfish person who gave them nothing back... I ran to the bathroom, shut the door and wept out to God
God has already given us His Word ... Jesus... who is the YES AND AMEN to all of his Promises
IT MEANS GOD IS FOR YOU... NOT AGAINST YOU
“Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends."
Don't let Sin separate you from God... and don't let the guilt of Sin separate you from God... LET NOTHING SEPERATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF GOD... FOR NOTHING DOES! .... Just come to him, submit and let the potter be the potter... and you be the Clay. He will make all things new
Wow! What a beautiful story of your nephew and niece! Praise God for He too loved you so much to show you this through using your nephew and niece! Thank you for sharing!
The “Temple” by Hebraic understanding was known as Heaven & Earth… 70a.d. It passed away when it was destroyed. Therefore Heaven & Earth did pass away.

Jesus is the Law
So why do you trim your beard ?
Yes the keeping of the Law of Moses (which was specifically for the nation of Israel) is abolished, completed, fulfilled. When there is a change in the 'priesthood' there is a change in the Law! Gods Law is Eternal but the 'keeping' of the Law is done as Christ fulfilled it on behalf of ALL those who couldn't which is basically the human race! The Law was a schoolmaster which pointed to Christ!
Read this scripture several times, but did not get the full understanding. For you to learn you have to have a teacher...thanks!
Why put the man who played a role as Jesus as if he is Jesus Christ? Don't you know it is sin to do that?
He did NOT replace the law, he came to FULFILL the law. We are always under the law; just now new commandments - Love GOD with your whole heart, mind and soul; Love your NEIGHBOR as yourself. Those two new commandments are the FULFILLMENT OF THE ENTIRE LAW.
Those are not two new commandments.
Thank you for this. I admit there's some things in the Bible that my Gentile brain doesn't fully understand.
Me too!
The first 4 laws are about loving God the last 6 have to with loving you neighbor...Fulfill....Fully Preach
لا إله إلا الله محمدا رسول الله
Saaaam 👍🎉
You mention that he did not come to abolish the law, twice, and that's because that's exactly what he meant. He did not come to abolish it. He came to fulfill all that was written about him in it.
And he said that nothing would change about the law until all was fulfilled. What does he mean regarding all needing to be fulfilled? Does he mean every event until the end of all time? No. He means it would be easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for anything to change about the law until he fulfills all that was written about him in the law.
Did he accomplish that? Yes, he did. And that is why on the cross he says it is finished. And then all authority in heaven and on earth was given to him. And now no man comes to the Father except through him.
Did things change about the law after the resurrection as evidenced in the scriptures and in the book of Acts etc? Absolutely. Why? Because all was accomplished by Jesus when he fulfilled what was written about him and the law and the prophets.
So what law are we under then if we are no longer under the Mosaic laws? The law of Christ. We follow his commands. That is our law.
So, what is ultimate Love? in the face of survival, make sacrifices for others--to the point of death--that is ultimate love...dts/usa
Who wrote Romans?
It seems that Paul dictated it to Tertius - Romans 16:22
