I have found the teachings our brother Monte Judah brings to us is not only biblical, anointed and concise, but also he speaks so clearly, understandably and easily confirmed in Scripture. I find myself coming back to Lion and Lamb and Monte to learn and get a closer relationship with our Father God and King of Kings, for that I am eternally grateful for this channel and more so for Monte Judah. Thank you so much.
It’s like scales have been removed *my* eyes after this teaching. Wow! So happy I was led to your channel.
Hurray!!! I'm so excited about this new series! Just as the series on Messianic teachings for Christians was so great, so is this new series!!! If folks would just listen to what is being taught with an open heart and mind, they would easily see the truth. I did share the other series with some who struggle with what we believe and unfortunately they still struggle. But I will also share this new series in the hope that questions will be answered for them so they can gain understanding in the truth! I sense the anointing of the Lord on these teachings and am praying that many will watch them and finally see the truth!!! Very exciting!!!
I'm curious what he is going to say when he gets to Galatians where Shaul depcts the law as slavery, and going back under the law is tantamount to bandage. I'm curious about that.
@@cherylthaxton-green3291which ‘law’ was he referring to in that verse you are talking about? Look it up in your concordance and study to show yourself approved. There are 17 different descriptions/types of ‘law’ referred to, all translated into Greek simply as ‘Law’
The written Torah was what Messiah was condemning the Pharisees for, they added to the perfect Torah of The Most High.
If you are talking about Romans 7 - look at the word, it means to be under the husband- referring to the ‘law of the husband’ (Deuteronomy 24 i believe ) which were needed to be implemented in Leviticus because of Israel’s whoring.
@@cherylthaxton-green3291I'm sure Monte will handle that just fine. There are things in Galatians that have been misunderstood because of lack of proper context and poor translations. Shaul (aka 'Paul') never spoke against God's Law; however he did take issue with mans' laws which are and always have been a problem. Yahushua Himself took issue with mans' laws which burden people. Avi ben Mordechai wrote a very indepth book on Galatians which provides much context. I would recommend it to everyone.
I love your teaching. For the past few years I have been studying the origins of my faith as a Christian. I never teach replacement theology but that we are grafted in (added to) the children of Abraham.
Amen! Paul (Saul of Tarsus) teaches us this in the Book of Romans.
Monte Judah, I cannot thank you enough for your truth and helping me to unlearn and relearn His Truth. 49 years of false teachings. Shalom
Wow. I know that's not going to be easy. Keep going and rejoice. Those who he delivers he teaches and sanctified. Much love from Bulgaria
We are indeed truly blessed.
i learned who Paul was, ///something i had very little depth of understanding of, rather a poor respect for hi m from main stream Christianity/// and appreciate him for who he truly was doing a study on his travels which was absolutely humanly unfathomed nonstop motion, ordeals, attacks on his life, hardships, and more in his journeys. at the end i knew who Paul was and i cried! i really cried and knew him in its fullest~! so excited for the new travel with Monte!
And I'm Christian but I feel like an outsider because I speak about Mose and Prophets. This teaching is fantastic....
I'm right there with ya
You are on the straight and narrow road...
Jeremiah 6:16 - Thus said יהוה, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk in it.’
@@bawbjusbawb6471 Nehemia 13:19--21.
Sweden have open gates all Times. Before there was no buy and sell from saturday 13 o'clock untill monday 9 o'clock. All church holydays called red days in Sweden was no buy and sell. Sweden was a good country to live in. So what happened? Now we buy and sell every day and Nothing is the same!
Wow! Wonderful teaching! I was in tears thinking of all of the false teaching I have heard! Looking so forward to what is coming next! Thank you Monte for bringing this Bibical teaching to us!❤
Brother Monte, the holy spirit once again pointed me to your teachings. I am in awe and so happy. I started taking notes because this is GOLD even when we witness to Muslims that spread the same rumors as the Jews back then. Thank you
Thank you brother Monte for this teaching. I really appreciate your teachings and have stuck with you since i found your channel. I also shared your content on my UA-cam channel in hopes that both Jews and Christians can understand the Bible for what it really stands for. I learned so much and i am greatful and thankful that i am able to expand on my studies as well as teach the Word according to the way it ought to be taught. Shalom and Chag Semeach
Can’t wait!! I appreciate your teachings! I have been following you for months now, learning all I can, thank you for everything!
Yes. This is what the Holy Spirit did tell me because i wanted the truth.
Thank you so much Monty from New Zealand. This God-incidence, your teaching at this time, coincides with my studies, readings and conviction that the Law needs to be followed. Blessings upon you and your ministry.
I am so excited! Thank you for your teaching.
It is interesting to listen to Christian preachers and teachers point out each other's sins. But they all have the sin of slander against themselves when it comes to Paul. We are easily blinded by teachings from people we believe are good teachers. It is amazing how convicted we can be about a lie.
Monty showing the truth about Paul is refreshing.
I just started this teaching- Thank You! I’m looking so forward to it
Thank you for sharing a deeper understanding the Jewish background.
Excellent teaching....thank you!!!
Beautiful message brother.May יהוה bless you
Excellent Monte‼️‼️‼️ I can’t wait to hear the rest of your teaching. Shalom
i am so thankful for the teachings learning extras and "hidden treasures" also deepening my understanding of the Word and out instructions how to live as believers. Messianic believers that is
I'm looking forward to listening and learning in this study!
Thank you.❤️🙏
SHALOM yall blessings from Lancaster pa
Amen...HalleluYAH
I cant wait... Also how can i reach out to the ministry? I want to learn more about when monte goes live and stuff like that
HELLO!
Agreed. 2 Peter 3 gives us gentiles a heads up! The untaught and unstable have misled many. By teaching lawlessness or a Spirit that is void of the Torah! Making the gospel against the Torah. Such a travesty. Thanks Monte for listening to the Spirit of God and holding fast to sound doctrine.
Can you raise the volume of your videos. It's hard to hear them. Younger listeners can lower theirs. I can't raise the volume high enough to hear without headphones. Pain in the neck. Thanks
From what I gather, Paul wrote Galations BEFORE the Jerusalem council wrote the letter (Acts 15). This does not make Paul's teaching contrary to the Torah, but provides contextual evidence of reason for rumor. If you survey his writings and sync them with his mission trips, that's what makes sense to me. Anyone have a different take or understanding?
I was told that Paul was pressured into going to the Temple or that he made a mistake and didn't know... it amazes me how people will create whatever they have to to make Paul's writings fit their theology because they cannot face the truth of what Yeshua said... "if you Love Me...Keep My Torah"
Hi Monte 👋
What kind of Bible or reference material do I need to find where it states the apostles name accurately?
I hope during the course of that teaching Saul's Letter to Galatians will also be discussed and what he was saying to those believes who received grace but wanted to go back under the law. "O stupid Galatians!“ Gal.3:1
Please tell us what the books are behind you and why you have them. Are these books that we would also benefit from?
Even Jesus himself in his own words.
“I did not come to abolish the law of the prophets” (Old testament) I have come to fulfill”
Fulfill does not get rid.
Matthew 5:17
Jesus summarized the Old Testament laws EVEN THE SABBATH!
“Pray ye that your flight will not be in the winter or on the sabbath.” The importance of keeping sabbath during the end times.
Mathew 24:20
You are required to keep all 10 commandments not just 9 and twist Paul’s words.
“Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so shall be called LEAST in the kingdom of heaven.”
Listen to this guys series on letters of Paul. He is speaking truth!
In swedish Wikipedia it is written that there was a meeting with the deciples of Yeshua and stod up against Saul (Paul) about circomcision. Why was Paul against that with the gentiles?
Paul taught that the law cannot save you but exposes your sin and condemns you, and that only Jesus Christ can save you because Jesus was crucified on the cross is the Lamb of God to save sinners from the Law that condemn them , religion can’t save you but God son can , although you should obey Gods Law , Paul never said to rebel against Gods laws but only through Jesus Christ can we be saved not by religious laws and traditions of men. Proverbs 29 v 25_ 26
When Hebrews left Egypt , it was a salvation pattern
They did nothing to deserve it
And Believers did nothing either to deserve salvation
Then they were given a set of laws/ instructions/law ( not traditions) to follow
Not to be saved , but to live as people of God
Once we are saved by Yeshua ( not law ),
We are THEN to live a life of a saved person , which means to follow Torah’s principles and the whole Bible instructions
In God’s kingdom like in any kingdom, there is Constitution
A Kingdom has a King , those in the kingdom are to revere Him and follow His instructions/Laws
Im glad u clarified@@saritakatz3454
If I’m understanding correctly, Prov. 29:25-26 is saying: Fearfully respecting man is extremely dangerous. But going right away to the Lord because you trust Him, will keep you safe. People love to run to a person in charge to try to get justice served, but true justice will be given when the Lord decides what the lawful judgment for each man will be.
OH no,He did not save us from the law,but from the condemnation of the law! Rom.3:31, chapter 6, 1Cor.7:19... Rev.12:17, 14:12 etc... John 14:15...
@@saritakatz3454beautifully said, AMEN!
I've heard TOO MANY "Christians" claim who Paul was...
I've READ WHO the Scriptures tell us who Paul was from PAUL'S OWN mouth...
1 Corinthians 15:9 - For I am THE LEAST OF THE APOSTLES and am UNWORTHY TO BE CALLED AN APOSTLE, because I persecuted the church of God.
Acts 21:39 - But Paul answered, “I AM A JEW FROM TARSUS IN CILICIA, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”
Acts 22:3 - “I AM A JEW, BORN IN TARSUS OF CILICIA, but raised in this city. I WAS EDUCATED AT THE FEET OF GAMALIEL IN STRICT CONFORMITY TO THE LAW OF OUR FATHERS. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today.
Philippians 3:5 - CIRCUMCISED ON THE EIGHTH DAY, OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN; A HEBREW OF HEBREWS; AS TO THE LAW, A PHARISEE;
Acts 23:6 - Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “BROTHERS, I AM A PHARISEE, THE SON OF A PHARISEE. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
Acts 24:5 - We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. HE IS A RINGLEADER OF THE SECT OF THE NAZARENES,
Acts 24:14 - I do confess to you, however, that I WORSHIP THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS ACCORDING TO THE WAY, which they call a sect. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT IS LAID DOWN BY THE LAW AND WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS,
After we are saved by grace through faith, Paul taught that we should follow the Torah (Romans 3:28-31)...
Paul followed the Torah through the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 7:22)...
Here Are Examples Of Paul Keeping Torah:
* Circumcised Timothy (Acts 16:1-3)
* Took the Nazarite vow (Acts 18:18; 21:17-26)
Taught and observed Gods holy days such as:
* Passover (Acts 20:6; 1Cor. 5:6-8; 11:17-34)
* Shavuot (Pentecost) (Acts 20:16; 1Cor. 16:8)
* Fasting on Yom Kippur (Acts 27:9)
Paul kept the Sabbath:
Acts 18:4 - And he (Paul) reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.(Gentiles)
Acts 13:13-15 Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. . But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. . And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Men [and] brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."
A little later in the chapter, after Paul shares Jesus with them we see that the Gentiles were quite interested. . Acts 13:42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next ((Sabbath)) . . . Acts 16:13 And on the (Sabbath) day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met [there].
Romans 7:12 - Therefore the Law [is] holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. . Romans 7:22 - For I delight in the Law of Yahweh according to the inward man...
1Joh 3:4 (KJV) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the Law: for sin is the transgression of the Law...
Law----->TORAH the Fathers Instructions/Teachings
Paul did not teach people to observe the law in order to be saved or justified...
That was not the purpose of the law...
He taught them to observe the law in order to honor God as they walked out the Christian life in the footsteps of their Lord Jesus...
1 John 5:2 and 3 - By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep HIS commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous
AWESOME! Well said !
And I'm Christian but I feel like an outsider
The WORD (Yeshua) never comes back void... The Law/Torah has never been done away with... The Torah is Yah's directions on how we must live.... The Torah will bring blessing or curses in your life. Obedience = Blessings... Disobedience = curses. NOW EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST READ: MATTHEW, CHAPTER 7, VERSES 21 - 23... the definition of "INIQUITY" IN THE HEBREW IS TORAH-LESS-NESS. NOW GO TO "REVELATION" Chapter 21, verse 12... the New Jerusalem has 4 sides, and 3 gates on each side, and the names written on each gate are the 12 Tribes of the children of Israel. Enough said... time to study!
One would expect Shaul (or Paul) to keep the law. He was Jewish.
26:35 - brief comments about the book of Hebrews. Does Mr Judah believe that Hebrews is scripture?
Why should we not think So? Can you please clearify? I would like to know! Thank you
@@hlasitevolani1575 someone just told me that Monte thinks Hebrews shouldn’t be in the Bible. I’m not sure if that’s true or not
@@ConciseCabbage I do not know what he thinks about that. I thought you knew something about the Book of Hebrews that it should not be included or so. Ok, clear now. thank you.
Yeshua said, "If you love me, keep my commandments."
His commandments are not contradictory to the commandments/covenants of Yahweh. They're the very same.
Hi Monte, at 39:57 you skip over verse 25, which says, "But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication" (NASB).
"As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality" (NIV).
"As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication" (KJV).
By introducing Gentile believers in a conjunctive form (contrasting two ideas) after instructing Paul to show his observance of the law, James seems to emphasize that Gentile believers are not required to follow the law in the same manner believing Jews are expected to observe it. In other words, James seem to be saying Gentile believers are only expected to adhere to specific aspects of the law.
What are your thoughts on this verse, Monte?
That was just a good start for the Gentiles, the passage goes on to say that they will hear the teachings of Moses in the synagogues every Sabbath. Blessings.
I thought Paul changed his own name.
❤
Shalom,
Paul's first epistle was to the Thessalonians, which has sparked debates on the timing of the rapture, eventhough he tied it to a resurrection, 1 of 2, according to scripture.

***Witness on earth = the Spirit (Work of GOD), the water and blood (Jesus)
*** Jesus = water and blood
I John 5:6-8 NKJV
6 This is He who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
To the One True GOD alone be all the glory! Amen and Amen!
Love this teaching about Sha'ul! Prior to Yeshua, he had the equivalent of a PhD in the Law, & probably had a 4.0 grade point in the schooling of the Pharisees... that's what is SO amazing. Yeshua knew how to pick out some good people.😁
Im for keeping the law, but I heard in church the Jews keep the law but we dont do, as gentiles. But if you read Matt 5 and Acts 15, the law isnt done away with and we learn it also, as gentiles
They use the, "i became all things to all men to win them", but he doesnt believe in the law however. But this teaching shows that not genuinenor sound, to me
I find your teaching very divisive.Christ came and fulfilled the law and his only command was that we his followers should seek to make followers of all mankind. I do not see in this movement any emphasis on bringing other non-believers to know Christ and his salvation available to all. Jean James
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah - not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away” (Hebrews 8).
Maranatha
Yes,true,amen. The 10 commandments are the words of the covenant. The same commandments that were written on the stone Will be written on our hearts. Including the Sabbath day. And notice,the covenant Is made with Israel, not Gentiles. So the Gentiles have to join Israel. There is no covenant ever made with Gentiles. Correct? Peace.
@@hlasitevolani1575 “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:26-29). Maranatha
@@BobbyU808 yes,but it depends what you are trying to say by it. Put on Christ means you walk in obedience, just like He did. We are not slaves of sins anymore and we now walk according with the spirit of the law. That's why we are not under the law. We Gentiles were outside the covenants, we jointed the family of Israel. Eph.2. peace.
Please note, The word covenant is not there. Its italicized meaning the word was inserted by the translator. “Covenant” does not fit into the context of the chapter. The word “Priesthood” should be there because chapter 7 and 8 are talking about a change in the priesthood from Levitical to Melchizedek.
If you read chapter 6 and 7 going into 8 it becomes clear.
Remember that the chapters were not there in the original text. The writer is not starting a new idea in chapter 8 but continuing his idea from the previous chapters.
@@vrab. “Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as *He is also Mediator of a better covenant,* which was established on better promises. For if that *first (!)* covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a *second.* Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a *new (!)* covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah - not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” In that *He says,* “A *new (!)* covenant,” He has made the *first (!)* obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away” (Hebrews 8).
I stopped watching your video after you intentionally twisted the Scriptures by omitting a key phrase. One of my favorite verses is 2 Timothy 3:15 which says, in its entirety, "The Holy Scriptures, which you have known from infancy, are useful to make you wise for Salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." The Scriptures are useful to make us wise for Salvation in Christ Jesus. The Old Testament Scriptures are fulfilled in Christ. That is the point of them. Anyone who says, "All of the church fathers were wrong" can't be right. This man is presenting a dangerous almost Gnostic gospel and will probably lead you astray.
“Jesus is an angel in a mortal body, who is a bearer of the Words of the FATHER.”
Angels are bearers of the Words of GOD. They are the mouths of GOD to this world, so that His message will be delivered to His people. Jesus is one of these angels, but he had a special mission because he did not only need to bring the Words of GOD but he also needed to bring that temporary body of flesh (and literal blood) to the Cross.
When angels speak, they speak like they are GOD because they are the representatives of GOD. Whatever GOD speaks in His Throne in heaven will be heared thru the mouths of the angels. That is why this world thinks that Jesus was claiming to be GOD. But he himself never claimed that. He only did his work faithfully as an angel, but this dark world never comprehend it because their hearts are darkened and full of evilness. The voice of the flesh (the serpent or the antichrist) who is ruling their bodies twisted the message that Jesus was bringing.
The WORD is not Jesus, but the WORD is the Work of the FATHER. The WORD is the same as the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of GOD who was dwelling in the body of Jesus. Jesus is the soul of the angel or he is one of the waters sent by GOD to this world. All of GOD’s lost sons who are sent to this world were angels before we were sent to the earth. But because we are in this fleshly body ruled by the flesh or serpent, we are in captivity of the darkness. And because the FATHER wants to bring us back to Him, HE chose the soul of Jesus who is the root of David, where HE can do His work of redemption. GOD never forgets His sons. HE never forgets us. HE will bring us all back to Him, but do not harden your heart when you hear His Voice thru the mouths of His four witnesses or His four angels in this last generation. Be willing to be disciplined by the FATHER. His Words will kill the work of the flesh in your temporary body.
My brethren, my co-citizens in heaven, we are leaving Babylon (this sinful world) soon. She will receive the plagues that GOD prepared for this sinful world. Do not stay in Babylon, lest you will share in her plagues. Do not stay in the lies of the ruler of Babylon who will bring you to eternal detruction. GOD wants you to enter the Promise Land, so that you will be baptized with His Spirit and you will be multiplied as many as the stars in heaven. And after that, after the 1000 years in the Promise Land, you will be ready to go Home to our FATHER who is waiting for us. “I love You my ABBA, with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my strength. I am finished with the work that you entrusted me in this last generation. I am ready to come Home to You.” Maranatha! Amen and Amen!
Only the One True GOD, who is the GOD and FATHER of the Lord Jesus and his brethren, belongs all the glory, all the honor and all the praises, forever and ever! Amen and Amen!
John 14:10 NKJV
10 ”Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.“
John 6:63 NKJV
63 ”It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.“
I John 5:6-8 NKJV
6 This is He who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
When Paul was Religious and followed the law , he persecuted the Church of Christ, He was blinded by the Law until Jesus came , Saul was lost in the law until Jesus came to save Saul.
Really? Wow... well then what does this mean?
Acts 21:20-26 TLV
And when they heard, they began glorifying God. They said, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jewish people who have believed-and they are all zealous for the Torah. They have been told about you-that you teach all the Jewish people among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or to walk according to the customs. What’s to be done then? No doubt they will hear that you have come. “So do what we tell you. We have four men who have a vow on themselves. Take them, and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. That way, all will realize there is nothing to the things they have been told about you, but that you yourself walk in an orderly manner, keeping the Torah. “As for Gentiles who have believed, however, we have written by letter what we decided-for them to abstain from what is offered to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from immorality.” The next day Paul took the men, purifying himself along with them. He went into the Temple, announcing when the days of purification would be completed and the sacrifice would be offered for each one of them.
Hmmmmm....
@@jamesdavidson7604 spot on! Paul categorically did not teach against practicing Torah. He put his money 💰🤑 where his mouth was and paid for the vow of four men to demonstrate the opposite.
The world is FULL of liars.
Monty you think your living in pre Jeshua times. Best you don't break a single one of those 613 laws OLE boy. There's no more sacrificial lambs being slaughtered for u.
Jesus said, He Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
I'm pretty sure that the ten years Paul Saul spent in the desert was spent rewiring his soul, mind will and emotions from a guy taught by gamiliel to the correct thinking.
It's funny how yeshua wasn't impressed with your law keepers ,scribes Pharisees, and rabbis of His time who you are trying to make all return to.
You do have knowledge monty and some of it is bringing light to us poor gentiles, but hey, it's hard to kick against the goads, don't paint every believer as you do with zip understanding. Any of your crowd who have broken any of the commandments that require death by stoning, let monty be the first one to cast his stone. Shalom.
Yeshua is not the Hebrew name for Jesus. Jesus is not a translation of the name Yeshua. Yeshua's name was never Jesus.
Yeshua's name was The Word.
He came as a Hebrew speaking Hebrew to Hebrews.
His name is not a Greek word.
His name is not Jesus.
His name is not Jesus Yeshua.
His name is not Yeshua Jesus.
🌾His name is Yeshua🌾
It is to insult Savior Yeshua by calling Him by a Greek word having no association past present or future, with Him.
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under Heaven given by which we must be saved.
Acts 4: 12.
HalleluYah!, Yeshua is the Son of Yehovah!
“The WORD is not Jesus, but the WORD is the Spirit of GOD.”
The WORD who existed in the beginning is the Spirit of GOD. Jesus, who is not the WORD, existed in the beginning as one of the waters or one of the souls which the Spirit of GOD was hovering. The WORD was guarding the waters or the souls of His sons from the darkness who was in the face of the deep.
After approx 4000 years after the curse of the serpent, Adam and the woman, GOD sent the soul of Jesus or one of the waters to the cursed body or a body of Adam. This is the kind of body which is ruled already by the serpent after the curse, which all human being has. The water (Jesus) became one with the body of Adam. The water and blood in one flesh, which is the body prepared by GOD for the WORD or for His Spirit, so that His Work of redemption will be fulfilled.
The soul of Jesus was sent to the body of Adam, to be a curse, for the redemption of GOD’s lost sons, the remaining waters who are sent by GOD to the earth as a covenant. He became a curse because his soul which is the water, and the blood (life of Adam or flesh) became one after the human birth. And at GOD’s appointed time which is the baptism of water thru John the Baptist, the Spirit rested in the body of Jesus. The Spirit, the water and the blood was in one body. But that kind of body was temporary, because the blood must be removed, because the blood cannot enter the kingdom of GOD. And this is the mission of the WORD whom the soul of Jesus agreed with. The blood was suffering inside the body of Jesus. The blood was working hard to fight against the perfect Plan of GOD, that is why he came out as sweat in the Garden of Eden. But there was nothing that he can do because he can only agree the Spirit who was dwelling in that body. For no one can and nothing stop the Work of GOD. Hallelujah!
My brethren, the remaining waters sent to the earth, let GOD do His Work in your body of Adam or in your cursed body. Let His WORD who is ruling the bodies of GOD’s four witnesses, do His part to save you from the destruction of the darkness. Let Him kill the blood in your body. Let Him kill it! Do not chose to stay in the captivity. Be killed by the Sword or the WORD. Accept His WORD who is speaking to you now thru His witnesses. There is not so much time, because Babylon (this world) will be destroyed soon. Come out of her while there is still time. Maranatha!
Only the One True GOD, who is the FATHER and GOD of the Lord Jesus and his brethren, deserves all the glory, all the honor and all the praises, forever and ever! Amen and Amen! I am ready to come Home, my ABBA! Amen and Amen!
John 1:1 NKJV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Genesis 1:1-2 NKJV
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
I John 5:6-8 NKJV
6 This is He who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 - The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 17:17 - Sanctify them by the truth; YOUR WORD IS TRUTH
John 14:6 - Jesus answered, I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
@@bawbjusbawb6471 Jesus is not the WORD but the WORD is the Spirit of GOD. The world cannot see the TRUTH and instead they are worshiping the flesh who is the antichrist. A very blasphemous belief against the Holy Name of GOD. They give the glory to the flesh who is the enemy of GOD. The sons of the flesh who cannot see the TRUTH are already judged because their names are not written in the Lambs Book of Life. Even so, Maranatha! To the One True GOD alone be all the glory! Amen and Amen!

"Jesus is not the WORD but the WORD is the Spirit of GOD."

When did the Holy Spirit become flesh?
@@bawbjusbawb6471 The sons of the flesh cannot hear the Voice of the FATHER. They will kill or reject the WORD who testified in this last generation. GOD sent them a strong delusion to believe in the lie because they do not have the love of the TRUTH. Babylon, this world, is fallen along with the sons of the ruler of this world (the flesh or the antichrist). Maranatha! To the One True GOD alone be all the glory! Amen and Amen!
I disagree with the trinity. YESHUA is not YHWH. As a baseball team is comprised of 9 individuals makes one team, so is Our Father and His Son. The Son is the Word of YHWH and His human name is YESHUA.
You forgot the Holy Spirit.
Shalom,
I greatly disagree with that position.
We are all created as triune creatures, mind, body and spirit, in the image of the Creator.
To deny Yeshua's divinity is idolatry.

I hope that this will be a blessing to you as we continue to search the heart of our God and King.
@@terryhardaway3285 Shalom. I understand the position you hold, as I held onto the same position for many years of my life. What does the following verse mean? "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." This is found in John 6:38 ESV. There is another verse Matthew 27:46 NKJ "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” There are more, but I don't want to be overbearing. I'm disappointed that you would think that someone who differs from you necessitates idolatry but I pray shalom for you nonetheless.

"The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no one to intercede; then his own arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness upheld him. He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself in zeal as a cloak." Isaiah 59:15-17.
"For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!" Job 19:25-27.
" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:1-5

If you are going to give any credence to keeping Old Testament laws, and you break even ONE of the 613 laws, you've failed. I'm living under the blood and covering of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His forgiveness. Without this none of the feasts or ordinance's mean anything in the end. As to what believer's in Christ are allowed to eat- Act 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
Act 11:6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Act 11:7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Act 11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
Act 11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Act 11:10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Following this the Council that came together in Acts ch. 15 cleared this up, and was given to Christians to follow. They made this statement:
Act 15:25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Act 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Act 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Paul's behavior and reasons for his statements in the verses you gave are commendable attributes of him as an apostle; however - as for Old Testament Ordinances, these scriptures teach us:
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Gal 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 Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Gal 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
I have no personal disagreement with your teachings-but scripture must compare with scripture. I'm not a scholar, but am a serious student of the Bible for many years, these scriptures are what I adhere to.
I'll be interested to hear what your views and teachings are on these scriptures.
"If you are going to give any credence to keeping Old Testament laws, and you break even ONE of the 613 laws, you've failed"
I'm going to assume that you are a man...
Being a man, you CANNOT KEEP those laws intended for women...
If you are a woman, the inverse is true...
You CANNOT keep the laws intended for men...
So there goes a good couple dozen of the 613...
Now, let's just suppose that you're not a priest...
There goes another dozen...
Not a farmer?
There goes a few more...
You keep the Laws you are able to and NOT the whole 613...
"As to what believer's in Christ are allowed to eat"
Let's summarize the whole incident of Peter's dream:
Acts 10:28 - 28 He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. BUT GOD HAS SHOWN ME THAT I SHOULD NOT CALL ANY MAN IMPURE OR UNCLEAN.
In this verse Peter states that his dream WAS NOT about "unclean meat, but unclean men!
You quoted this Scripture:
Act 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
So are these the ONLY things that New Believers were supposed to obey?
Don't eat meat offered to idols, don't eat/drink blood, don't eat anything that was strangled and abstain from fornication...
But you can worship other gods, make idols, steal, murder, disrespect your parents, use GOD's Name in vain?
I would ask you to read 1 Corinthians 6:9 through 11 for this answer...
"Paul's behavior and reasons for his statements in the verses you gave are commendable attributes of him as an apostle; however - as for Old Testament Ordinances, these scriptures teach us:"
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Please refer to this verse:
1 Corinthians 7:19 - 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. KEEPING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS IS WHAT COUNTS.
Gal 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 Christ Jesus.
Exodus 12:49 - THE SAME LAW shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you.”
Leviticus 24:22 - THERE SHALL BE ONE STANDARD FOR YOU; IT SHALL BE FOR THE STRANGER AS WELL as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’”
Numbers 9:14 - If an alien sojourns among you and observes the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he shall do; YOU SHALL HAVE ONE STATUTE, both for the alien and for the native of the land.’”
Numbers 15:14 - If an alien sojourns with you, or one who may be among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to make an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, JUST AS YOU DO, SO HE SHALL DO.
Numbers 15:15 - As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; AS YOU ARE, SO SHALL THE ALIEN BE BEFORE THE LORD.
Numbers 15:16 - There is to be ONE LAW AND ONE ORDINANCE for you and for the alien who sojourns with you.’”
Numbers 15:29 - YOU SHALL HAVE ONE LAW for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them.
Deuteronomy 1:16 - “Then I charged your judges at that time, saying, ‘Hear the cases between your fellow countrymen, and judge righteously between a man and HIS FELLOW COUNTRYMAN, OR THE ALIEN WHO IS WITH HIM.
Deuteronomy 24:14 - “You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is ONE OF YOUR COUNTRYMEN OR ONE OF YOUR ALIENS WHO IS IN YOUR LAND IN YOUR TOWNS.
Leviticus 18:26 - But as for you, YOU ARE TO KEEP MY STATUTES AND MY JUDGEMENTS and shall not do any of these abominations, NEITHER THE NATIVE, NOR THE ALIEN WHO SOJOURNS AMONG YOU
Exodus 12:19 - Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, WHETHER HE IS AN ALIEN OR A NATIVE OF THE LAND.
Exodus 20:10 - but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, YOU OR YOUR SON OR YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR MALE OR YOUR FEMALE SERVANT OR YOUR CATTLE OR YOUR SOJOURNER WHO STAYS WITH YOU.
Deuteronomy 5:14 - but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, YOU or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or YOUR SOJOURNER WHO STAYS WITH YOU, so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
Leviticus 16:29 - “This shall be a permanent statute for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls and not do any work, whether THE NATIVE, OR THE ALIEN WHO SOJOURNS AMONG YOU;
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
John 8:39 - “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham."
What were Abraham's works?
Genesis 26:5 - because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
WHO was the Apostle Paul speaking to?
FORMER heathens/pagans in Colossae...
What did Paul tell them?
NOT to allow anyone to judge them in meat - Because they no longer ate unclean meats. (there are STILL unclean animals in the Book of Revelation 18:2)
NOT to allow anyone to judge them in drink - Because they NO LONGER drank blood (Please refer to the Book of Acts you quoted earlier)
NOT to allow anyone to judge them in regards to a Holy Day - WHAT were the "Holy Days" to Paul? They were in the Scriptures that he taught. They were known as "Feasts of the LORD"...
Just so you know, Yeshua and ALL the disciples, including Paul, TAUGHT from the "Old Testament". There was not "New Testament" and there wouldn't be for another 100 years or so...
So when the Bereans were examining Paul to make sure he was teaching from the Scriptures, WHAT do you think they were examining? (Acts 17:11)
NOT to allow anyone to judge them in regards to a New Moon - Because the Hebrew months were based on the New Moons. The "Feast of Trumpets" was also based on the sighting of the New Moon... Nearly every Pagan and heathen worshiped the sun...
NOT to allow anyone to judge them in regards to a Sabbath - NO OTHER GOD gave His people a Sabbath...
NO OTHER DAY was sanctified by GOD to be the Sabbath other than the 7th day...
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
The Commandments of GOD are NOT against you or contrary to you - Paul said the Commandments are good, just and holy (Romans 7:12)
The Commandments BLESS YOU (Deuteronomy 11:27)
Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. CONTEXT!
Please read Galatians 4:7 through 9 - 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God. 8 FORMERLY, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
Summation of these verses:
WHEN YOU DID NOT KNOW GOD, YOU WERE SLAVES OF WEAK AND WORTHLESS PRINCIPLES
Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?…
Now read a few more verses:
10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! 11I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain. 12I beg you, brothers, BECOME LIKE ME, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
Paul told us to imitate him just as he imitates Yeshua the Messiah (1 Corinthians 4:16 and 1 Corinthians 11:1)
Paul always kept the Sabbath (Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4)
Paul kept the feasts (Acts 20:6 and Acts 20:16)
Paul instructed us to keep the feasts (1 Corinthians 5:7 and 8)
Paul believed all of the Torah (Acts 24:14)
Paul stated that we Uphold the Torah (Romans 3:31)
Paul taught from the Torah (Acts 28:23)
Paul obeyed the Torah (Acts 21:24 and Romans 7:25)
Paul took delight in the Torah (Romans 7:22)
Jeremiah 16:19 - Oh יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them.”
Gentiles one day will say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them.”
"but scripture must compare with scripture."
Okay...
Let us compare the Scriptures you have provided WITHOUT PROPER CONTEXT with what the Messiah said from His OWN LIPS:
As stated in Matthew 5:17 through 20 - 17Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets.
(The Messiah told us HE didn't do what some say He did... He's told us once so far...ONCE. In fact, Yeshua told us not to even THINK such a thing. But yet a lot of people still do?)
Continuing...
I have not come to abolish them, BUT to fulfill them.
(Yeshua told us a second time that He did not come to ABOLISH them but FULFILL them. This makes TWICE Yeshua said He didn't abolish the Law or the Prophets).
We must note the word "BUT" which is an opposing conjunction...
That means that the word or phase before the word "BUT" will be in opposition the word or phrase after it...
Also, we will find that if we look in a dictionary or Concordance...
If Yeshua "fulfilled" the Laws so we don't have to, then this is annulling the law...
This is the same definition of "abolish"...
Yeshua told us TWICE, that He didn't do what most people claim He did... TWICE.
Synonyms for FULFILL: satisfy, meet, keep, complete, fill, comply (with), answer, redeem...
Antonyms of FULFILL: violate, break, breach, transgress, forget, ignore, abolish...
“Do not think that I came to destroy (katalusai [inf. aorist active of kataluo]= dissolve, bring to an end) the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill (play-ro-sai [inf. aorist active of play-ra-o] to give the true or complete meaning/real significance to something).
(Furthermore, refer to Matthew 5:20 through 48 if anyone is in doubt of what "fulfilling" the Law of GOD means.)
18For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Here, Yeshua states when the law will finally pass away. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled (gen-ay-tai [subjunctive aorist middle 3rd person sing. of ginomai] may come to pass).
(Yeshua told us that not even the SMALLEST to the GREATEST part of the Law was done away with. This is the THIRD time He tells us this.The Law won't disappear until heaven and earth has passed away. Have you seen the earth today? Have you seen the heavens? Then the law is STILL valid and has NOT passed away.)
19So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.…
(This was Yeshua's warning to us not to do what many are doing)
Please answer this question:
Did you see ANYWHERE that Yeshua the Messiah told us that the Commandments have been "done away with"?
Please re-read Matthew 5:19 again before you answer...
Let's discuss False Witness:
Acts 6:12 through 14 - 12So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin, 13where they presented FALSE WITNESSES who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law. 14For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
Acts 21:20 through 24 - 20When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are ZEALOUS FOR THE LAW. 21But they are under the impression that you teach ALL THE JEWS who live among the Gentiles TO FORSAKE MOSES, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs. 22What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.22What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow. 24Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THESE RUMORS ABOUT YOU, but THAT YOU ALSO LIVE IN OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW.…
Paul's speech when arrested:
Acts 22:3 - 3“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel IN STRICT CONFORMITY TO THE LAW OF OUR FATHERS. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today.
A TRUE witness
Acts 22:20 - 20And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’
Paul's Defense:
Acts 23:3 - 3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.
Acts 24:14 - 14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT IS LAID DOWN BY THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS,
Acts 21 - Accusations against Paul
After Paul participated in the Nazarite vow with Jewish Christians, Asian Jews stirred up trouble for Paul. In Acts 21 these Jews from Asia Minor begin spreading ACCUSATIONS against Paul, primarily a common misunderstanding of Paul’s teaching, that he is now fallen away from the practice of the Law. Paul is not anti-Jew in the sense that he wants Jews to stop being Jewish, he wants them to stop relying on the Law for salvation. To the orthodox Jews, this is worthy of death. The charge they brought against Paul is that he brought a Gentile into the Temple. This would be a serious offense, worthy of death (for the Gentile, as well!) The Jews did not allow women or Gentiles into the central courts of the Temple, BELIEVING THEM TO BE UNCLEAN. (remember Peter's dream?)
Luke points out these accusations against Paul are not true, that the Gentile that had been seen with Paul did not enter the temple.
Paul REPEATEDLY defended himself against those who claimed he taught AGAINST the Laws of GOD...
@@bawbjusbawb6471 It's you who are taking scripture out of context. This could go on for pages, but, I'll refer to Jesus Christ himself, when he had the last supper with the disciples and instituted the New Covenant in his blood. I'll let you research this subject yourself, in depth. Paul and all believer's in Christ are free to observe the Sabbath and the Jewish customs, but, they DO NOT gain any ground in our walk with God, It is a freedom we can enjoy and participate in if we wish-but it is not a LAW. If I choose to abstain from certain foods or observances, I can do so, if I choose to eat pork I'm free to do so. The Council in Jerusalem in Acts ch. 15 settled this matter, and the scriptures I gave added to this, in Galatians. I'm not going to argue with you, you can choose to believe what you choose. I've discerned the scriptures correctly, and will stand with my convictions. The shed blood of Christ did away with the Old Testament laws and observances for the believer in Christ- if this isn't so, you will need to start studying the other 613 laws and you better keep them-to the letter, or you will be out of the will of God, and damned to hell. I'll choose Jesus Christ, and His New Covenant.
Hebrew Matthew. Matt 5: 17 Moreover Yeshua Mashiach said to his talmidim, do not think I came to throw down the Torah and the prophets, on the contrary, I came to confirm. 18, I say unto you in truth, not one word will be diminished from the Torah ,- that it would not be performed until the end of the world . 19, And whoever transgresses one of these smallest commandments, or teaches to break them, he will be small in the kingdom of heavens, on the contrary whosoever teaches it and carries it out, great will he be in the kingdom of heavens. 20, And I say unto you in truth that if you do not become righteous ones more than the wise ones and the Perushim you will not enter the kingdom of the heavens.
The Torah teaches us how to approach our Father and to lead a righteous life before him. we don't do it to be saved as that comes from the sacrifice of our king and Messiah. We do it because we love our Father and his Son. Tell me why do you call him Lord and not do what he tells you to do???
