This teacher is a man whose teaching I can trust to be Bibles-based, whose only motive is to feed the flock and whose heart is in the right place. Thank you, Dr. Brown.
@@-allwrittenfulfilled- As The Apostle Paul wrote, "Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought." (Romans 12:3) --- "Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' And he said, 'Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?' And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him." (Acts 8:30-31) I stand by my original comment. The Bible cannot be the last word when it takes a well established, spirit-filled man of God to explain it. Jesus said, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers (not Bibles) into His harvest." (Matthew 9:38)
Thank you Dr. Michael Brown. Our God is truly wise. Isn't it amazing that Jesus summed up all the complicated laws to two? Truly I witness scripture teaching us that the begining of wisdom is fear for God...meaning respect and trust in God's righteousness and decisions. I speak seven languages and have a deep interest for science and medicine. All of my life I have been told that I am smart and etc etc. Still, I confess that I am such a fool!! God's Word, His decisions and His love is soooooo deep, sooooo high and absolutely amazing!! All i have earned and learned outside of God's Word is utterly at loss. The song, "Knowing You" is one I sing as a sweet fragrance for our Mighty God who covers His children with loving kindness and tender mercies. Thank you Jesus!!!
No one was ever expected to keep 613 commandments. Some were for men, some for women, some for children, some for priests, some only for the high priest, some for farmers. No one was all of these.
Amen! There's really about 200+ laws each person would keep and once studying them, I've asked myself, why are these fairly simple laws considered bandage? The laws aren't bandage but the animal sacrifices for sin was bandage, having to keep them perfectly was bandage, being stoned to death for breaking certain laws was bandage. Christ died for OUR SINS so that we no longer have to die for our sins. Animal sacrifices are gone and He covers us in grace, as in, we will no longer die if we break a law but His grace will cover us WHEN we can't keep them. That doesn't mean we don't try. We love Yah first (circumcision of the heart) than follows our obedience to Yah by keeping the law the best we can.
@@leonaperdue8784 Moses wrote the Torah. The Torah includes the 10 commandments. The Bible doesn't say these two are ever separate things. Even the Jews say the 10 commandments are part of the Torah. If God wanted us to just follow the 10 commandments He would have come out and just said so but He didn't and people inserting that notion is what causes confusion. It's an excuse by the church to not follow the Torah. Yahweh specifically tells us to follow it, to keep His Sabbaths and HIS FEAST days forever and ever. Read Exodus 24:4 and Deuteronomy 31:24. Moses was not on the Mount for 40 days just to receive 10 commandments.
He fulfilled the law on our behalf, then nailed it to the cross, then gave us the gift of righteousness to all who have faith in Jesus. The law is still in place for the world & will be judged by it, but Christians have died to the law & married to Jesus.
I keep the dietary laws though I am mostly vegetarian. I find that I just feel better physically when I eat mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, etc. If I were to eat meat, it would be among only those found on the list in Leviticus 11. I believe there is a reason God wants wildlife to flourish - not only out of love for those creatures that He made, but for the role they play in the ecological balance of earth. This is not widely considered at all; for instance, I'm the only one that I know of who thinks this way, frankly - but after careful consideration of this subject, I really do believe it is correct. It would have been wonderful for the ecology if all of humanity had been keeping the dietary laws since Moses. I also keep the Sabbath on Saturday as a special day of rest and praise, a special time of focus on Godly ideas and learning; not to be preoccupied with normal worldly concerns, and I began to do this when I felt, in prayer, that this was something God wanted (and still wants) me to do. I have to say it wasn't easy. I wasn't raised to regard Saturday in that way, and I used to use it mainly as a day for doing the chores I didn't have time for during my normal work week. But after training myself toward it, I find it the most wonderful day of the week, and I would be loathe to ever give it up. On those occasions when my metaphorical "donkey" had "fallen into a ditch" and I could not keep it properly, I found that my strength throughout the week was diminished. Keeping it is a blessing, so it is unfathomable to me that anyone could call it onerous. Obviously, they must be bound up in burdensome routines not called for in the Bible, because it really is the most relaxing, fortifying, and edifying day. My identity IS found in Christ; He saved me decades ago, and saves me daily. In Him, I am who I was born to be. The world guides us to become someone according to some fad of the moment; but who we really and truly are can only be found through a deep and living relationship with the Eternal Lord.
There is no objection here if you want to keep dietary laws of the old covenant , but it was for to make you clean for sanctuary purposes not spiritual purposes. If a person ate unclean food of the law they were considered unclean and was not allow in the temple till the next day. Jesus told us that what we put in our mouth doesn't defile you, it is what comes out of the unclean heart that makes you unclean and sinful. So what you eat doesn't make clean or unclean. Only Jesus can cleanse your sins not the food. Have you read what God told Noah he could eat? The old covenant in the in the wilderness was for them to keep under a different preisthood. We would all like to believe that it cleanses our body to eat clean foods of the old covenant. That isn't what it was for. 😉 We can still do them but it doesn't profit.
It is true that if humanity kept the dietary laws the ecology would be better off to this day by far. The devastation to earth from eating what God told us not to would not have occurred. I think that's the point being made regarding keeping the dietary laws in that post.
@@m.e.1367 people doesn't understand how the ground is fertilize by the waste product of clean and unclean animals. That is why Jesus said that what we put in our mouth doesn't defile you, for it wasn't a physical thing but a spiritual. Even if you want to eat like healthy food, God has shorten our days to 120 years. With epidemic going around some people 's lives may even be 70. The old covenant was not to make us perfect, but so our sin would be covered till Jesus came to take away sin. He came to abolish the sins in our flesh.
@@shellyblanchard5788 I think you are arguing a point that wasn't actually being argued. You may want to read that again because the post you're responding to never argued for what you are arguing against. Obviously, it's what goes into our hearts that defiles us. Nevetheless, wildlife is being decimated and these have a right to life, too, as is clear in Genesis 2. It would have been best for the ecology (I agree with that original post) if ALL of humanity had been keeping the dietary laws. It shows that after the Fall, God gave a provision for mankind to eat some (and only kill them in a humane way) and this we simply DON'T do, earth-wide. BUT if we did, earth would be better off. That's the point, for the most part, not that we should keep every part of the Old Covenant, and not that we can cleanse ourselves of sin by doing so. Obviously, only the atonement of the Messiah does that.
Brother, i love your intellect and approach so much. You are a standard bearer for those who believe. Because your standard is the word of God. Shalom aleichem.
Praise God 🙌! Thank you Dr. Brown for explaining so clearly. For all to understand 😊. The best part is that you explain from a Jewish perspective. That way the true meaning of the Word comes to life when you explain. Thanks 😊
Thank you for this MUCH needed solid, Biblical teaching. The misunderstandings and misinterpretations concerning the Mosaic Law have caused such pain and sadness in our family. :(
That makes no sense, friend. If you get a speeding ticket, and when you go to court, the judge has pity on you and pays your ticket for you, does that mean all the world's speed limit signs can be ignored afterward?!? Jesus paid the penalty for our sins - the second death. Do we now thank Him by ignoring His Laws?!? Remember, "You shall not steal, you shall not commit adultery, and you shall not murder" are also a part of the Law of God. Surely, you don't believe we can do those things now. So, why would you think we can ignore any other part of God's Law?!? James 2:10 KJV (10) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
@@curesoon I thank you for replying, but I fear you have misinterpreted my comment, I believe we are still supposed to be following all 613 commandments. In no way shape or form is it okay to abandon the laws, as Yeshuah did not fulfil the law and abolish it, he instead shouldered our iniquity and our pending punishments that we need not be put to death for our sins. He even says himself in Luke 16:17) But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. I appreciate your zeal my brother, but please be sure to direct it to where it is aimed. Though I am glad to see that someone else believes the law wasn't abolished, for there are so many that believe the old covenant is moot and no longer is required to be honored and it breaks my heart to see so many lead astray. God's Blessings unto you.
If he didn't abolish it , then you still need an atonement for your sin. To fulfill mean to end it. Jesus himself said said the law and the prophets were until John. So you can say he didn't abolish all day and it wouldn't be so. He came to change the preisthood and covenant. The moral law is still in effect only the oblation is ceased. Hosea 2 said he would cause them to cease and the merth of it.
@@shellyblanchard5788 If "to fulfill mean to end it," then why did Jesus say "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." (Matthew 5:17 - KJV) Also, look at the statement of Jesus one more time - "Fulfil" applies to both the Law and the Prophets, which is a euphemism for ALL of Holy Scripture. Are you saying that Jesus abolished ALL of Holy Scripture along with ALL of the words of the prophets? Do you see how that interpretation is obviously false?!? When Jesus said, "the law and the prophets were until John." This is a quote from Luke 16:15-17 KJV (15) And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. (16) The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (17) And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to FAIL. Did you notice the last verse in this text? Heaven and Earth! So what does Jesus mean? Jesus is saying that He came to bring about what God promised in Holy Scripture (the Law and the Prophets). You said, "He came to change the priesthood and covenant." Here, you are correct! He came to make a New Covenant "established on better promises" (Hebrews 8:6), and to set up a nation of priests (Revelation 1:5-6), but the Law itself did not change - It cannot change because everything Jesus did for us is built upon the foundation of that Law. Instead, the proper way to look at it is to see that the Law of God was "refocused" by the coming of Jesus into the world. What used to apply to lambs and other sacrifices, now applies to Jesus as the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29). Also, any who receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour become priests in the new temple built without human hands (Act 7:48) - this is the church (1 Corinthians 3:16). Instead of abolishing the Law, the grace Jesus purchased with His own blood brings us into harmony with His "perfect law of liberty" (James 1:25 & 2:12).
Jesus makes it abundantly clear that not a single jot or tittle will pass from the Law until Heaven and Earth pass away and everything is brought to completion. He also makes it abundantly clear that the Commandments He then refers to are those pertaining to the Law. And He shows us how He fulfills them, not by taking away from them, nor by adding to them, but filling them up to their fullness, it is not enough to not murder, you must love. It is not enough to not have sex with your neighbor's wife, you must not even desire it, you must love your neighbor as yourself, and only want what is best for them. The Apostle Paul teaches us the same, "Let he who stole, steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs." This is the fulfillment of the Law. The Sacrifices too, find fulfillment in Christ, who offered Himself for us, not to abolish the Law but to save those who under the Law were condemned for breaking the Law. But "what shall we say then, shall we continue to sin", that is, to break the Law, for "whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law", and so shall we continue to transgress the Law "that Grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Again, "Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. Whoever stays in him sins not: whoever sins has not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother." And, "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. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith." "Do we then make void the Law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law."
Heaven and earth was the temple, it has passed away. It was destroyed in 70ad. We are the temple now. Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets and heaven and earth passed away. So the law is passed.
@@shellyblanchard5788 No, heaven and earth was not the temple, you don't just get to make stuff up to serve your own theology. The heavens are the heavens, and the earth is the earth, and all will pass away when the Lord returns, as it written in the Book of Revelation, and then all will be accomplished.
@@beowulf.reborn Jesus returned in the 1 century. Revelation has already occurred. Didn't you know? There no place found for them them, John saw the New Jerusalem coming down out heaven. It wasn't a literal city. It was the bride of Christ in which we are.
@@beowulf.reborn What did Jesus say to his disciples, that that generation would not pass until these things take place take place. Jesus took down his body broken for us, said he would raise it again three days. Have read that passage? Jesus said you see all these buildings, there shall not be one stone left upon another. They didn't tell about it being destoryed and what happen to temple and occurred during but it was predicted. What it is we over look the occurrence that Jesus talked about. He said he would come back in that generation.
Michael, I so agree with your comments and teaching on the relationship of Christians, Jewish and Gentile, to the law. Although I wrote and distributed a paper titled “Forty Reasons Not to Follow Torah” which was intended to be a restating or explication of Galatians, I think you are beautifully balanced and correct on this. So thank you, and God bless, brother.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 2:4-6 KJV
1Jn 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 1Jn 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 1Jn 3:24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. .
I am saved by Grace and the holy spirit dwells in me. so not braking the law comes naturally. If you claim to be saved and you lie steal jealous of your neighbour, you need to question your salvation. It's not even a issue if you are saved. I'm not saying I don't wrestle with the flesh I'm saying if you are saved you know not to lie ect.
Jesus' orders to his people were: 9 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to OBEY ALL that I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. Jesus' commands CONTAINED the essence of God's moral law but they were not IDENTICAL to the Mosaic Law.
@@rosstemple7617 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them TO OBEY all that I have COMMANDED YOU. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-19) All these verses are part of The Great Commission. The so-called Comma Johannine refers specifically to the line about how converts are to be Baptized, "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" which is also found in 1 John 5:7 Without distinguishing the Commission from the Comma you have simply thrown it all out saying that Jesus never said any of it. I really do not need to engage in textual or higher criticism in order to make my original point which was that we must obey Jesus commandments. This fact is mentioned throughout the NT. For instance, Jesus said: If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Jesus definitely told us that obeying Him was part of our love for Him (unless you think this too was added by some Church father) "His commandments" (PLURAL) includes whatever He said. As the Apostle John said: …2 By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 3 For this IS the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome... (1 John 5:2-3) John says that "loving God" IS [equivalent to] keeping His commandments. Obeying Him is not a burden for believers because all his commands ultimately stem from love and because under the provisions of the NEW COVENANT the Holy Spirit moves inside us and "writes His laws on our hearts and minds:" “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people. (Hebrews 8:8-10) This is not an optional way of life reserved for mature believers but a basic part of our relationship from the beginning. Whether or not we should Baptize in the name of the Father, or the whole Trinity is less important in my mind to the issue of whether we should obey Christ.
JimiSurvivor if there’s a baptism it’s from God. You are missing the point. Baptism is By God period. We have nothing to do with it. It’s not water. It’s just the Spirit. Pneuma and Pur as John the Baptist says: Matt 3: 11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Jesus never baptized anybody with water. That’s a tradition of the old. Unfortunately this is part of the great falling away. Peter said Not the water Forbid. But the translators changed it to: Acts 10: 47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? But in the Received Text Peter is saying who can add to what they have been given. I suggest you look for an Interlinear Bible. Look up the original words in Greek and Hebrew. If God doesn’t build the house the builder builds in vain. We can pray and lay hands on people to help them through things we’ve already gone through, this is a gift of the spirit. But even then it’s by God that they’re able to receive it. Baptism is Spirit and Zeal. Water is a tradition of men. Part of the cleansing laws. The reason Jesus was Baptized was so the Elders would listen to Him. They called Him a Samaritan because he lived North of Judah. God bless and may God give you understand.
@@rosstemple7617 Which Church Father added this in? I found the "Joannine Comma" in writings dating as far back as the First Century. For instance: And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize INTO THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (Matthew 28:19) in living [running] water. Didache (c. A.D. 50-70), Chapter 7. "Concerning Baptism. " " And again, giving to the disciples the power of regeneration into God, He said to them," Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Irenaeus, (c. A.D. 185, Against Heresies: Book III, Chapter XVII, section 1 ...he commanded the eleven others, on his departure to the Father, to "go and disciple all nations," who were to be baptized into "the Father, and into the Son, and into the Holy Spirit." Immediately, therefore, that is what the apostles did, whom this designation ["apostle"] indicates as "the sent." (20) Tertullian of Carthage (c. A.D. 160 - 225), Prescription Against Heretics, chapter 20 For the law of baptizing has been imposed, and the formula prescribed: "Go," he says, "disciple the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The comparison with this law of that definition, "Unless a man have been reborn of water and Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of the heavens" (Jn. 3:5) has tied faith to the necessity of baptism. Tertullian of Carthage (c. A.D. 160 - 225), On Baptism, chapter 13) “Go ye and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” And by this He showed, that whosoever omitted any one of these, failed in glorifying God perfectly. For it is through this Trinity that the Father is glorified. For the Father willed, the Son did, the Spirit manifested. The whole Scriptures, then, proclaim this truth. Hippolytus, (c. A.D. 225), "Against the Heresy of One Noetus." par. 14. In Ante-Nicene Fathers. Vol. V. It seems right to inquire into the reason why he who is 'born again through God' to salvation has need of both Father and Son and Holy Spirit and will not obtain salvation apart from the entire Trinity, and why it is impossible to become partaker of the Father or the Son without the Holy Spirit. In discussing these points it will undoubtedly be necessary to describe the activity which is peculiar to the Holy Spirit and that which is peculiar to the Father and Son. Origen, (c. A.D. 225) De Principiis, book 1, chapter 3 Origin shows that all the Trinity are involved in our salvation The Lord, when, after his resurrection, he sent forth His apostles, charges them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in Earth. Go, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Cyprian, (A.D. 249-258,)"To Moyses and Maximus and the Rest of the Confessors." Epistle 24:2, Ante-Nicene Fathers. Vol. V. These were all pre-Nicene teachers. The Church had no strong central government but was decentralized. It would have been impossible to control the literature that was being produced in order to back date and superimpose Trinitarian formulae on earlier theological works.
JimiSurvivor Baptism is Spiritual. The Spirit is Truth. Truth brings Enlightenment. The truth will set you free. Tradition will not. Water Baptism is a canker worm. One time saved ideology which leads people to stay “Christian” but doesn’t change the heart nor deepens the daily relationship with God. The Apostolic Fathers by Lightfoot. -in accordance with the early Christian language which spoke of Baptism as an ‘enlightening’ (φωτισμός). Vol. 1, Pg. 31
Dr. Brown, I watched this teaching again and want to say again it really blesses me and gives me joy. You get it so right! This is such a thorny issue and so many get it wrong. Thank you this is like a definitive expounding of the subject. Some who used to be correct seem to have fallen back into legalism and I mean some who are very famous and revered. Paul calls a double curse on this. Is it not so?
That helped a lot. Saturday or Monday is mute. Because we keep every day Holy unto God. But I love going to Synagogue and Church. IE Assembly. Question for Dr. Brown: Shouldn’t we keep the feasts? But as unto a witnesses Messiah?
He fulfilled the law He met the requirements for righteousness without sin, therefore the Father was pleased with him. No one else has succeeded in this. Others had to sacrifice animals for their sin according to the law but not Jesus. Because he was faultless and innocent and sacrificed, we can receive the blessing of the Holy Ghost through faith in him. Remain in Jesus' love by keeping his commandments.
I understand that there are future prophecies concerning the feasts pointing to Jesus' return yet to be fulfilled as spoken by the prophets and foreshadowed in the law. However, He also had to keep them in His time when He was here in order to meet the demands of the law perfectly. If we say that He kept the law perfectly this must also include keeping the feasts perfectly even though He was sinless and didn't need a sacrifice to temporarily atone for sin. He was sinless. But the command still had to be obeyed and righteousness had to be kept. So yes, He did fulfill the whole law in that aspect. He met its full demands.
Dr Brown, Regarding what you’ve said in your vid that dietary laws and Sabbath are for Jews and that gentile believers don’t have to keep them and that we’re no longer under the Sinai covenant, then, how do you explain the New/Renewed Covenant in Jeremiah 31 that tells us that the Torah will be written on our hearts? Is the Torah only written on the hearts of the house of Israel and House of Judah? Are gentile believers grafted in to Israel and is this how they are part of the NC? If gentile believers are grafted into Israel and this is how they partake of the NC then are you saying that only parts of the Torah are written on the hearts of gentile believers? Doesn’t Numbers 15:15 and Isaiah 56 tell us that there’s one law, one Torah for BOTH the Jew and the gentile who joins Adonai? Isaiah 56: 3 A foreigner joining Adonai should not say, “Adonai will separate me from his people”; If the foreigner aka gentile who joins Adonai is not to be separated from Adonai’s people, the Jews, then why are they-the gentile believers-being separated from the Torah?
I don't see how you can talk about your Jewish friends, who were forced to eat ham to prove they were saved, and about the Catholics who forced Jews to renounce the Feasts, and the Sabbath etc. before they could be Baptized, and then still not get what Paul was saying when he told the early believers "let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath." Paul was telling the believers not to let anyone judge them for Keeping the Sabbath, not for breaking the Sabbath. Read Church history, never will you see Sabbath-keepers burning professing Christians at the stake for not Keeping the Sabbath, but you will find time and time again, those who keep the Sabbath, beaten, imprisoned, stoned, burned, etc. etc. By Pagans, by non-believing Jews, by Roman Catholics, and even by Protestants. Vs 17. These *are* a shadow, not these *were* a shadow, as almost every Pastor teaches. In the same manner that Baptism is a Shadow, and Communion or the Lord's Supper is a Shadow, so too are these other Commandments. They point us to Christ, reminding us of Him, His life, His death, His resurrection, the giving of the Spirit, His soon return in fiery judgment, the separation of the sheep from the goats, and the new life with God in the heaven and new earth. You only need to keep reading to see that the ones judging are the pagans and the syncretists, the various heretics and gnostics... they worship angels (which churches today pray to St. Michael?), they make a show of asceticism (think self-flagellation, etc), going on in details about visions (research the lady of fatima, and the many other visions the Romans use to justify their heresies), puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind (look at how they enjoy the praises of men, parading around with their long flowing robes, decked in gold and silver, having men bow to them and kiss their hands, does this not remind you of our Lord's words in Matthew 23?), and not holding fast to the Head (but replacing the Head with the Pope, or some other spiritual guru). Then Paul reasons, if you died with Christ, why do you submit to these regulations, but he is not talking about the Commandments of God, as he himself says they are "the commandments and teachings of men", and finishes by saying "These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh." How anyone can interpret this as Paul telling the early believers to not keep God's Commandments I will never understand. Rather he is saying do not let those who worship angels and make a show of humility with their self-made religion and asceticism (with its severity of body), judge you for keeping the Commandments of God.
God bless you. I’ve always wrestled with this problem. Mostly the sabbath. I read romans a lot and become satisfied for a bit then I go back in the Torah where it convicts me again. I know Paul says new moon and sabbaths are a shadow of things to come and to focus on Christ. It’s just something that makes me study a lot and still come to the same conclusion giving me a weak conscience so to speak lol. Even though I’ve heard it countless times I still don’t I know what to make of it.
Timmy Kapow - yeah I know what you mean brother. I wrestled with it too but what finally settled it for me was when I found out that the first century Apostles kept 7th day Sabbath but in addition gathered together many other days of the week because they were “adding to the church daily”. The Gospel was being taught daily and the Holy Spirit was and still is working mightily. It was the Catholics who abolished the seventh day sabbath along with the Feast Days. Most Protestants just followed. No where in the New testament can you find the Sabbath changed. Something else to think about, Paul could not nor would not change a law set forth from God or else he would be considered a false prophet according to Duet 13 test of a prophet. So keep the Sabbath, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown as laid out in Torah and watch your house be blessed.
Dr Brown is wrong. The law wasn’t done away with in any way, shape, or form. My 5:18 says that not one jot or tittle will be done away from the law until the heavens and earth are done away with; has that happened? You cited Romans; if we’re grafted into the same root as Judah, and if Judah was charged with keeping Torah; and if YHWH hates unjust scales (prov 11:1); then how are Judah and grafted in believers judged differently? 1st John is replete with one and two liners that incessantly restate the fact that the law wasn’t done away with. Chapter 2, vs 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. I didn’t say it, so don’t Spartan Kick me off a cliff. Deut 12 lays out how YHWH is to be worshipped. Deut 13 lays out the punishment for a man that does miracles (has visions) and does away with the law; or as 12:32 says, “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.” If the Father commanded his people to not diminish from the law, and if Paul taught men that the law was finished to the point that it’s doesn’t need to be adhered to, wouldn’t that make Paul a false prophet? I guess the Jews were right in stoning Paul. Read in Acts 6:13&14 about the treatment of Steven. 13And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. Did you catch that? The liars said, “....this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.” If liars said it, then the opposite is true. What’s the opposite. He didn’t say that he would destroy the place, and he didn’t say that he would change the customs that Moses delivered. If he didn’t change the customs that Moses delivered, then they’re still the same today as they were yesterday, and will be the same tomorrow. Ironically, that’s in keeping with YHWH’s character; isn’t it; same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; not a man that He should repent (that is to say change the way He Acts; I.e. stop judging people for not keeping his law, and begin to bless people for not keeping his law).
@@lanceroark6386 You are ignoring that little word "until" in Matthew 5:18. Paul uses the same word in Galatians 3:16-29. Paul said the law was "added" 430 years "after" the promise made to Abraham "until" the seed (Christ) could come to whom the promise was made. The Old Covenant and the New Covenant cannot be one and the same, based on a clear contrast between the two covenants which is found in the New Testament. Confirmation of the contrast between the Old Covenant and New Covenant is found below. 2Co 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2Co 3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 2Co 3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? (Why did Paul compare the ten commandments to a ministry of death?) Gal 4:24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- (Is Paul comparing the Sinai Covenant to “bondage”, and using “Hagar” as a symbol of the Sinai Covenant?) Gal 4:25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children- Gal 4:26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. Gal 4:27 For it is written: "REJOICE, O BARREN, YOU WHO DO NOT BEAR! BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR! FOR THE DESOLATE HAS MANY MORE CHILDREN THAN SHE WHO HAS A HUSBAND." Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. Gal 4:29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREEWOMAN." Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. (Why did Paul compel the Galatian believers to “cast out” the Sinai Covenant of “bondage” in the passage above?) Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. (Does the verse above say there is a change in the law?) Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, in as much as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. (Was this written in the present tense during the first century?) Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Heb 8:8 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- Heb 8:9 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. Heb 8:10 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. Heb 8:11 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. Heb 8:12 FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." Heb 8:13 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. (Do most modern Christians ride a horse to their church, or has that mode of transportation now become “obsolete”? Is there now a better way to get there? See the master teacher in 1 John 2:27.) Heb 12:18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, (Is that mountain Mount Sinai?) Heb 12:19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: "AND IF SO MUCH AS A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT SHALL BE STONED OR SHOT WITH AN ARROW." Heb 12:21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I AM EXCEEDINGLY AFRAID AND TREMBLING.") Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, (Is this verse speaking of the “church” of Jesus Christ?) Heb 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. (Why does the text above say that we are not come to Mount Sinai, but to Mount Zion? If the New Covenant is merely the Old Covenant “renewed” in the hearts of believers, why is the contrast found above?) Watch the UA-cam videos “The New Covenant” by Bob George, and “New Covenant Theology Made Simple” by David H. J. Gay. .
The old law is obsolete (Heb 8:13), completed, finished. The new covenant written on our hearts is much better. Do not murder is good, but do not have hate in your heart is better. Do not commit adultery is good, but do not look at a woman with lust is better. The rules we have written on our hearts are not exactly the same (although 9 of them are included) as what was written on tablets of stone, they are better. The 10 commandments were a tutor until Jesus came Gal 3:24-25. But before the 10 commandments were given to Israel, it was still wrong to murder, commit adultery, lie, steal, worship idols, etc. But remembering the Sabbath was a specific rule to Israel as a sign of the covenant between God and Israel (Ex 31:13). Now we have a sign of the new covenant between the Lord and his people by remembering Jesus' broken body and spilled blood (Luke 22:19-20). The new covenant laws are love God and love others. The New Testament has a lot of rules about how this should look, including 9 of the 10 commandments, do not gossip, do not be anxious, help the widow and the orphan, etc. I have heard there are over a thousand. Good thing they are summed up in two and written on our hearts! After Jesus resurrected, he did not appear on a Sabbath. And the disciples preached on the Sabbath to reach Jews. But when Paul started ministering to Gentiles he no longer went to the temple on the Sabbath. Look at what happened to the curtain in the temple when Jesus died on the cross. It was torn in two, no longer needed. New covenant in place, providing direct relationship with God. Believers have now entered Jesus' rest. Sabbath was a shadow of the true rest. Heb 10:1. Every day is the Lords. Some churches are so large they have services on Saturday and Sunday. Same service, great fellowship with other followers of Jesus, same sermon, same worship music. Does God condemn the ones who are there on Sunday but not Saturday?
SpotterVideo I didn’t ignore anything. It’s right there in my statement. Until means that the law will be done away with AFTER the heavens and earth are done away with. I’m not even going to read the rest of your response if you can’t figure that out.
How is he wrong Lance? He used bible versus to make his point... All you said was he's wrong! Back it up with scripture dude. Your not listing bro close your mouth and listen brother
The Covenant in Jer 31:31-34 wasn't new. it didn't have a different law. The Messiah came to fulfill it. It is with the same law giving to Moses. the only difference is that this time is going to be written in our hearts no in stones anymore. Since we had a heart like a diamond we couldn't keep it, so the new covenant was better because we were receiving a different heart and with the help of the holy spirit, we could obey the law (Zac.7:12 and Ezeq. 36:26-27) Jere. 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Zac.7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. Ezeq. 36:26-27 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
He did say it was different, he said not like the one he gave to their fathers, which they brake , although he was an husband to them. So if it is not like the one he gave to their fathers, it is different.
@Jeremiah Lawson the stone tables have nothing to do with it. You're trying to find an excuse to make it work but it doesnt. And only the 10 commandments were given on stone tables, not the rest of the laws so that already makes your argument invalid. We all know its talking about the law itself, not the stones. The law is not binded by stones.
@john fig thats not true. You still sin whether you have the holy spirit or not. You still cant keep the law. If you say you do you are lying and disproving the whole statement. You still sin. Thats not changing until Jesus returns
@@menknurlan I can do all things posible to keep the "law", but if I decide to break it on purpose without even trying with the excuse that I can do it because Jesus hasn't returned yet, I am transgreding it with premeditation and treachery. That is wrong.. everyday We all sin and we ask for mercy when we do it by mistake. (but we try not to do it again). we should ask GOD that converts our heart of stone into a heart of flesh. (thru the help of the holy spirit) to keep the law and not transgreding it again next time. and when Jesus comes back at least we are being obedient and doing our best. (that's why the holy spirit is betwen us, to guides in the right path: "He will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.")
The new covenant is the same as the old, they are just written on your heart now (you will WANT to keep them). And now you have the Holy Spirit to help you
@Sherry DuBois The mosaic, levitical, ceremonial, and food laws we aren't bound under. Only the moral. As Paul wrote, "we're no longer under law, but under grace." And says, if we must keep the law to be saved, then it's no longer grace that saves us, but works.
Dr. B, how does Paul's circumcising Timothy play into 1 Cor 7:18 by your view? Also, how do you respond to the eschatological view that is used to get people to subscribe to mosaic law because the third temple will require sacrifices (per Ezekiel), punishments regarding dietary laws (per Isaiah 66:17), and/or feast days (per Zech 14:18)? What does this mean for Israel? and for Gentiles? I dont mean this in a salvific way, but an obedience way..
I find people make the mistake of thinking all scripture applies the same to all people. It does not. The holy bread is for the priests only yet David ate it and gave some to his men to eat. There are repeated examples how some people did things against the laws and traditions and God did not kill them but others did and God killed them or punished them. It does not take much thinking to realize Paul and Timothy's situation and how they decided how to handle it. They decided and maybe with guidance from the Holy Spirit. This does not mean they are sinning unto death. Jesus told his disciples to buy swords and this was so he would be counted among the transgressors. Jesus told them to do something that is a sin. Jesus got them to transgress the law so he would be counted among transgressors. There is no way for anyone to explain that situation in any other way than the bible actually says it plays out. All wrong doing is sin but not all sin leads unto death. Anyone who has a mind that can not reconcile actions and scripture with common sense is going to have a lot of disappointments in their view of their own religion. I personally look at the 'Letters to the Churches' as what they are, Letters to the Churches. I do not take them as being applicable to 'everyone' for 'all time' in 'every situation'. The bible is 66 books. All scripture is not in the bible. Jesus quotes from the Book of Enoch and yet the book of Enoch is not in the bible. Some sin leads unto death and some sin leads not unto death. If all sin is not equal, it is intelligent to accept that all scripture is not equal. 👇Paul opens with this. 17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. 👇Then he says this is a Rule, which I do not count as Law of Salvation. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. You only give singe verses as a reference. I teach people to not give single verses but whole teachings. What you are doing is using that single verse out of context. That causes confusion more than it helps with understanding. As far as people who try to push others into Law diets, Jesus has a teaching on that very subject. Why did you not link to that teaching? They are in Mark 7 and Matthew 15. now people who read this post will go read Mark 7 and Matthew 15 and see all of those chapters, including Jesus explaining what defiles people. Acts 10 and 1 Corinthians 8 also establish into the topic within the context of the New Testament. About something in 1 Corinthians 8, I myself, the Holy Spirit and Peter and others disagree that we should be concerned about what Weaker Christians think about what we do. The Holy Spirit tells Peter to go into the Roman Commander's home and that could be an issue for younger believers if they see Peter going into the home of a Roman Commander. Especially if those younger converts are Jews. So if someone wants to put a rule or law on their shoulders that says they have to live in a restricted manner so as to not offend, they can. All believers do not have to ascribe to that Thinking/Rule. They can choose to be free in the Holy Spirit as I do and others do and live according to what the Holy Spirit is telling them to do at each time. If some wants to eat the Jewish Kosher diet and do so loving God and being thankful, fine and if others do not, fine. If some sin by judging others, then that is typical for the course of humans. It is up to the Holy Spirit to work that out. Not being a sin unto death is of no issue for myself or others or the Gospel. Jesus told his disciples to buy swords, causing them to be transgressors, just so he would be counted among the transgressors. Jesus also did not care about offending people or religious people. It was not an issue for Jesus, not an issue for Peter, not an issue for the Holy Spirit, so I strive to look at situations from that perspective and teach people to be the same. I do not just teach believers this but all people this.
@@fla-bushcraftprepper941 haha I appreciate your stab at it, but taking up swords isn't a sin. He told them to prepare for the environment after his own death (aka his being numbered with the transgressors--being killed and buried with sinners). God is not a pacifist. I have a rationale that reconciles Timothy's circumcision with 1 Cor 7 but I was looking for Dr. Brown's rationale, which is why I said "by your view".
@@dashaunjefferies1168 You reply "haha I appreciate your stab at it, but taking up swords isn't a sin. He told them to prepare for the environment after his own death (aka his being numbered with the transgressors--being killed and buried with sinners). God is not a pacifist." Is as far from the Truth of that time as you are right now in 2019 as far from that time. " Let us analyse that time. #1 Romans forbid average Jews from having Swords because of the Zealot attacks. Only Temple Guards and personal escorts of the Sanhedrin and Roman Soldiers were allowed to carry swords. Also Jesus did not tell them so they could prepare for after his own death as it explains why he told them to buy swords. The Bible teaching and not one verse but the whole teaching. Luke 22 35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. 36👉 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 ✍👉It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” 👍 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied. So we see you do not know, and so it is you who took a stab at it and you got it wrong. You also laughed at Scripture when it was clearly told to you correctly. Jesus told them to take swords because swords were not legal to use by average Jews and this was because of the Jewish Zealot attacks on Romans. Let us see what Jesus says when one of them uses one of the Swords. Also in Luke 22 47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49👉 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. 51 👉But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. 52 👉Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him,✍👉 “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour-when darkness reigns.” John 18 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a] 10👉 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 👉Jesus commanded Peter, ✍“Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” Matthew 26 50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[d] Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 👉With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52👉 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him,✍ “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, 👉✍“Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. Here the Jewish Leaders say they have lost their rights to enforce laws of death. They are not allowed to execute people and their citizens were not allowed to have weapons of warfare. This includes swords. John 28 👉Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?” 30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.” 31 👉Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” 👉“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected👈. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die. Let us see what Jesus tells Pilot about his followers using weapons and rising up and fighting as the Jewish Zealots were doing. John 33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” 34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?” 35 “Am I a Jew?” 👉Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?” 36 👉Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” We see Jesus never intended on his followers to use the swords. He only wanted them to get the swords and carry them so they would be transgressing the Law and thus he would be counted among the Transgressors. 100% exactly as it says in the scripture I told you about. I know these things because I study full chapters. I study every scripture I can find on a specific subject and then go study the whole chapter it is inside of so I know the Truth. I want to know Who, What, When , Where, How and Why. I do not want to know a verse here and a verse there and then some preacher's version of the facts. God gave us access to the books in the bible so we can study them for ourselves.
@@fla-bushcraftprepper941 You sure write a lot haha. I didnt laugh at scripture but rather your own conviction in your interpretation, which you deem the ONLY way it can be seen hah. But because you already have the answer, then you are already right and cannot be open to any other interpretation than your own. Your conclusion: "Jesus told them to do something that is a sin. Jesus got them to transgress the law so he would be counted among transgressors. There is no way for anyone to explain that situation in any other way than the bible actually says it plays out." There's no point in back and forth at this point. And, no disrespect (genuinely, no disrespect), I was looking for Dr. Brown's opinion, not your's.I already have my own, but just wanted to see from his perspective, since he sorta laid his foundation with 1 Cor 7. But thank you though
Greetings, the "old testament" teaches there will still be animal sacrifices, feasts, and Sabbath when messiah comes. So how do we reconcile Jesus fulfilling a sacrifice? Thanks
People do not understand about the heaven and earth passing. They think it is the one that we live in now. They think that is the one that has to pass before we are not under the law. 😊
What about all of the scriptures of Torah based civilization existing all throughout the Messianic Age? For example Ezekiel 37 talks about this, Isaiah 2, Micah 4, Isaiah 66, etc. You know the references and what I am talking about. The third Temple (Ezekiel, Micah, Isaiah, other places) the YHVH appearing in the temple to purify the sons of Levi to offer an offering in righteousness, etc.
Abril/16/22 Jesus/Yeshúa, fufilled everything written about Him, in Law/Toráh and profets, cfr. Lc.24:26,27,44-47;Ro.5:19(in Him, we fulfilled, the Law. From Puerto Rico, in my prayers Brother Brown.🙏🫂❤
Jesus fulfilling the law is NOT doing away with it. Jesus fulfilling means he FOLLOWED the law. I choose to obey ALL OF GOD 10 COMMANDMENTS because I love GOD!!
But there are more than 10? Do what you think you have to do, but Jesus taught Jews to follow the Law of Moses (Torah) before his death and resurrection. The early church did not expect this of Gentiles. As Dr. Browning explained there are 600+ and with no temple only 300+ can be kept. If Jesus is our sacrifice we can’t keep those anyway. So why does the Law still stand, why does the covenant still exist with over half of it not even applying anymore? Paul said you can’t pick and choose, you have to keep all of the Law not just bits that you like. If you believe you must follow the Torah (Law of Moses) as a Christian, then by all means keep sacrificing animals and crops for your sins. That’s basically what Paul says at one point. I think the difficulty is people don’t think morality or God’s commandments exist outside of the Torah. It does, they do. Paul said there was a Law of Christ.
@@MikeLundquist 'All of Gods commandments', in the mosaic law there are 613 commandments, not a single verse in scripture separates the 10 from the rest, you have another 603 to try and keep, unfortunately for you you can't, because there is no temple and no Levitical priesthood any longer.
Ephesians 2:15 by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace. It looks like our creator abolishes ordinances for the sake of peace.. between these two?
Dr. Brown I have been asking this question for a long time and no one can give me an answer, What is the old covenant and what is the new covenant, please if anyone knows,respond
Abraham covenant is still in effect. However the new covenant is from Jesus. Hebrews explains it well as it points to the Old Testament… Jer 31 fulfilment. Hence we are grafted into Abraham descendants
@@johnygoodwin3441 you do know that Galatians is not the only letter that Paul wrote. You would error to interpret Galatians in a vacuum. In order to understand Galatians correctly is to interpret within the context of Paul’s other letters and of course, the context of Jesus teachings which are all based on the teachings of the Old Testament. If you fail to contextualize the letter of Galatians, you will fall in the error of the lawlessness ones as Peter warns. 2 Peter 3:15-17 (NKJV) 15 and consider [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable [people] twist to their own destruction, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know [this] beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked. Do a word study on the adjectives that Peter used to describe the people he warning about and you will be shocked that it describes the mainstream Christian doctrine on Lawlessness.
Another question I do have is, What is the mosaic law or the law of Moses different from the Sinai covenant And what is the Sinai covenant? Explain please!
So are we to keep the 10 Commandments or what? Gentiles worship on Sunday. Is this right? God said to remember to the Sabbath, to keep it Holy. The Sabbath, not the Sunday! How are you going to keep just 9 Commandments? Who gave us permission to worship God on Sunday?
If what you're saying is true (and I greatly respect what you are saying here) but why isn't it written it for us to where there would be no confusion? The Torah and what the "jews" are told as well those grafted in is written out in great detail, there is no question about it. So if we are not be keeping the Torah (which isn't very hard) why isn't it written out in detail for us to keep the ten commandments only or part of the ten commandments? Many of the laws can not be kept because there is no temple. And why would we stone anyone to death if Christ came to die for our sins? All throughout the Bible the law "torah" is held in very high regard. It is called the truth, the light and Yah calls it His doctrine. So why would He do away with it and all of sudden it has become a burden? People get confused becasue God's law (the Torah) and man's laws are both referred to as the law now. This should have never been. The Torah should be called the Torah throughout the Bible. Removing this word has only caused confusion. When you learn the Torah and start to see that it was never meant to be done away with, the entire Bible comes together perfectly. It all flows and makes much much more sense. Most Christians have never understood the feast days because we were never taught about them in church. The feast days are absolutely amazing and bring the Bible to life in ways I've never experienced. Why anyone would turn up their nose and not want to observe these is perplexing to me now.
The LAW is RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jesus fulfilled (obeyed) the law of righteousness. Faith counts for righteousness, and Jesus was faithful, so fulfilled the law. The Torah also fulfills the law of righteousness.
Glory to God alone! This understanding has finally been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit through you! Thank you and may the Lord bless you and keep you!
Was Ezra commanded by G-d or Ataxerxes to institute the rabbinical system in Israel? Did Ezra and Nehemiah supplant Yeshua and Zarubbabel (types of Messiah) based on racial interpretation of Torah (priests ordered to divorce proselyte wives) which G-d in Malachi 2 criticizes? Is G-d criticizing Ezra in Malachi 2 promising to remove the rabbi and the scholar from Israel?
His life and manner of life “revealed” or fulfilled the law.His commandment he gave to his disciples was to teach others or disciples others as He disciples his disciples. Next question?
Did Yeshua really make the Torah greater? "The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple." Psalm 18:7
In the sense that it is impossible for us to meet the legal requirements of the original Torah, yes, Jesus' new covenant with His people is greater because He fulfilled the law on the cross.
That would be the covenant, that is greater then, right? Yeshua fulfilled the Torah (Pleroo), as in, fully taught it, not on the cross, but in his life. You're right, he did meet the requirement for death on the cross, making it so we don't have to die. However, again, the Torah is perfect. Each time Yeshua spoke, he simply brought the back to what it was supposed to be, not what the religions authorities taught.@@sammyt4549
When Jesus stood in the temple and read the scripture where it says, the spirit of the lord is upon me , he said today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears.
I'm sorry I'm just seeing this, but I like what you did here I honestly do, I have only one thing to say and it's that the Sabbath was from creation and although we didn't see a command per say to keep it, it was understood to be kept Holy before the Decalogue was given there was a telling to Israel that when gathering mana they will only have It six days and there will be none one the 7th and they was to keep it holy, and that they did In exodus 16. And in verse 28 when some person came went out they were reprimanded for it.
The Sabbath was a foreshadow of the rest we find in Christ in the New Covenant. Christ is the reality of the shadows. Jesus is the lamb slain from before the foundation of the earth. The Sabbath had Christ in mind from the beginning. :)
For those who only want to follow the 10 commandments, then what is stopping them from owning slaves? Which commandment lets them know slavery is immoral?
The Sabbath Rest …6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience, 7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” 8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.…
He exadurated the law,He calls hatred,murder.He calls watching porn adultery.Hecsays the only reason for divorce is a cheating mate,adultery..One things for sure ,He didn't do away with the law or the priestly ordinances.When He returns to reign,He restarts the sacrifices to His Father,all but the sin offering .The feast of Tabernaclesandcothers are reinstated.
Please read carefully Galatians 3:7, 26-29. Now also go and check Romans 3:31, along with Romans 6:1,2, 14-16. The law of God has never been abolished by grace. Grace can’t exist with out law(Romans 5:13).
In 1st Cor 5 Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread with sincerity and Truth.. Not with the leavened bread of malice and deceit. Weren't many of them Gentiles? He never said any where to worship on any other days except YHWH's Sabbaths. Polycarp-deciple of John petitioned the church in Rome approx. 150 Ad, to keep Pentecost on the 14th of 1st month at even- just as Yeshua did. Didn't the Church in Rome have many Gentiles? Where do you find the Gentiles keeping other days in scripture- as Sabbaths I mean?
the scipture verses you read brother are true and correct but, the insight I receive comes from the HOLY SPIRIT…the LORD JESUS was telling the truth in fiillfilling the law and commandments through some clarification about this..HE amended it for easy way out of complicated to simple way of doing it from the traditional strict way and punishments to GOD’s people during that ancient days
Who is the New Covenant for? What does it say will happen? Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” The New covenant is for THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. If you aren’t identifying yourself with either one of those houses are you then excluding yourself from the New Covenant? What will the New Covenant do? It will put the Law on our hearts. Ezekiel 36 also talks about the ReNEWed covenant 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. There it says the new heart and the spirit he puts in us will cause us to walk in all his ways and to do His laws. I encourage you to read more of the surrounding passages in both Ezekiel and Jeremiah. The New covenant is actually the RENEWED covenant and it will be given to the House of Israel and the House of Judah and will cause them to walk in all of Yahwehs ways…. His Torah. Because it is Holy, Righteous, Good, Spiritual, a lights, a lamp, everlasting, righteousness, the way, the truth and so much more. His Torah is so good and is for His people. If you consider yourself a child of the most High God then His Torah is for you and it will go out from Tsion in the millennial Reign of Messiah. Also didn’t Paul say there is neither Jew nor Greek but we are one in Messiah? Why does Dr Brown and others want to keep dividing us into Jew or Greek? We are now one in Messiah, the seed of Abraham and heirs to the promise. We should delight in the Torah of YHWH just like David did in Psalm 119. Didn’t Pul say to imitate him as he imitated Christ? Well didn’t Paul keep Torah? Didn’t Messiah keep Torah? So shouldn’t we keep Torah? The Torah was always for anyone who wanted to cling to YHWH. (Isaiah 56: 6-7, Exodus 12:49) I pray you will seek Yahweh with all your heart, die to your flesh, fall in love with the Character of Messiah and Yah that is revealed through His Torah. He is so good. His Torah (instructions) are so good! Now go read Psalm 119!
Hey Dr Brown - love your debates on the trinity! Can you give me just ONE example of a ministry that denies Jesus is God incarnate who ALSO operates in the anointing of the Spirit to heal the sick, cast out demons, etc?? I'm looking for it but can't find it. So far I see that those who deny His Deity are Cesaarionists (believing miracles have ceased with the last apostle or the assinine teaching that we don't need miracles anymore bc we now have the Bible). This is NOT to say that ALL of doctrine must be biblically accurate if God is to use us in mighty ways - ofherwise NONE of us could be His instruments. But on SOME issues, YES - such as the FULL TRUTH of Jesus' identity and nature. Sound doctrine is paramount by it is the foundation of our faith, and while the Holy Spirit indwells all true believers, He does NOT anoint every believer - whether it is due to tolerating sin or significant false doctrine
Everyday is a rest day with God, because Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets. We don't have to keep these sabbaths and feast days. That is Paul said not judge anyone about keeping them. He said if one wants to these days it is up to individual, but he also said why go back to these weak and beggarly elements of the old covenant to keep these? Jesus has freed from them.
Jesus died to rid us of our sins but his righteousness is also beyond any mortal. No man can enter heaven through their own "Good-deeds" as all are destined fall short of Gods glory. We share in the righteousness of our faultless saviour; Jesus.
This teacher is a man whose teaching I can trust to be Bibles-based, whose only motive is to feed the flock and whose heart is in the right place. Thank you, Dr. Brown.
I agree
You better start your education from Jesus. Isn't the Bible enough for you!!!
@@-allwrittenfulfilled- As The Apostle Paul wrote, "Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought." (Romans 12:3) --- "Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' And he said, 'Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?' And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him." (Acts 8:30-31) I stand by my original comment. The Bible cannot be the last word when it takes a well established, spirit-filled man of God to explain it. Jesus said, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers (not Bibles) into His harvest." (Matthew 9:38)
Very sound and methodical teaching. I always like Dr Brown's scholarly insightful teaching. Praise be to God our LORD.
Thank you Dr. Michael Brown.
Our God is truly wise. Isn't it amazing that Jesus summed up all the complicated laws to two? Truly I witness scripture teaching us that the begining of wisdom is fear for God...meaning respect and trust in God's righteousness and decisions. I speak seven languages and have a deep interest for science and medicine. All of my life I have been told that I am smart and etc etc. Still, I confess that I am such a fool!! God's Word, His decisions and His love is soooooo deep, sooooo high and absolutely amazing!! All i have earned and learned outside of God's Word is utterly at loss. The song, "Knowing You" is one I sing as a sweet fragrance for our Mighty God who covers His children with loving kindness and tender mercies. Thank you Jesus!!!
So beautifully said
Knowing and acknowledging the Truth with a humble and contrite heart
No one was ever expected to keep 613 commandments. Some were for men, some for women, some for children, some for priests, some only for the high priest, some for farmers. No one was all of these.
Amen! There's really about 200+ laws each person would keep and once studying them, I've asked myself, why are these fairly simple laws considered bandage? The laws aren't bandage but the animal sacrifices for sin was bandage, having to keep them perfectly was bandage, being stoned to death for breaking certain laws was bandage. Christ died for OUR SINS so that we no longer have to die for our sins. Animal sacrifices are gone and He covers us in grace, as in, we will no longer die if we break a law but His grace will cover us WHEN we can't keep them. That doesn't mean we don't try. We love Yah first (circumcision of the heart) than follows our obedience to Yah by keeping the law the best we can.
@@sum5clynn470 the moral law
@@leonaperdue8784 Moses wrote the Torah. The Torah includes the 10 commandments. The Bible doesn't say these two are ever separate things. Even the Jews say the 10 commandments are part of the Torah. If God wanted us to just follow the 10 commandments He would have come out and just said so but He didn't and people inserting that notion is what causes confusion. It's an excuse by the church to not follow the Torah. Yahweh specifically tells us to follow it, to keep His Sabbaths and HIS FEAST days forever and ever. Read Exodus 24:4 and Deuteronomy 31:24. Moses was not on the Mount for 40 days just to receive 10 commandments.
There are even more laws than that now among Orthodox.
@@robineggblue-bp3rq perhaps they have added some of their traditions? God bless you.
He fulfilled the law on our behalf, then nailed it to the cross, then gave us the gift of righteousness to all who have faith in Jesus. The law is still in place for the world & will be judged by it, but Christians have died to the law & married to Jesus.
Which law? The law I know is the royal law by Jesus
Thank you so much Dr Brown!
I keep the dietary laws though I am mostly vegetarian. I find that I just feel better physically when I eat mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, etc. If I were to eat meat, it would be among only those found on the list in Leviticus 11. I believe there is a reason God wants wildlife to flourish - not only out of love for those creatures that He made, but for the role they play in the ecological balance of earth. This is not widely considered at all; for instance, I'm the only one that I know of who thinks this way, frankly - but after careful consideration of this subject, I really do believe it is correct. It would have been wonderful for the ecology if all of humanity had been keeping the dietary laws since Moses. I also keep the Sabbath on Saturday as a special day of rest and praise, a special time of focus on Godly ideas and learning; not to be preoccupied with normal worldly concerns, and I began to do this when I felt, in prayer, that this was something God wanted (and still wants) me to do. I have to say it wasn't easy. I wasn't raised to regard Saturday in that way, and I used to use it mainly as a day for doing the chores I didn't have time for during my normal work week. But after training myself toward it, I find it the most wonderful day of the week, and I would be loathe to ever give it up. On those occasions when my metaphorical "donkey" had "fallen into a ditch" and I could not keep it properly, I found that my strength throughout the week was diminished. Keeping it is a blessing, so it is unfathomable to me that anyone could call it onerous. Obviously, they must be bound up in burdensome routines not called for in the Bible, because it really is the most relaxing, fortifying, and edifying day. My identity IS found in Christ; He saved me decades ago, and saves me daily. In Him, I am who I was born to be. The world guides us to become someone according to some fad of the moment; but who we really and truly are can only be found through a deep and living relationship with the Eternal Lord.
So you will be " at home" in new earth -Isaiah 66:23. Praise Him - Rev 14:6,7,12
There is no objection here if you want to keep dietary laws of the old covenant , but it was for to make you clean for sanctuary purposes not spiritual purposes. If a person ate unclean food of the law they were considered unclean and was not allow in the temple till the next day.
Jesus told us that what we put in our mouth doesn't defile you, it is what comes out of the unclean heart that makes you unclean and sinful. So what you eat doesn't make clean or unclean. Only Jesus can cleanse your sins not the food.
Have you read what God told Noah he could eat? The old covenant in the in the wilderness was for them to keep under a different preisthood.
We would all like to believe that it cleanses our body to eat clean foods of the old covenant. That isn't what it was for. 😉 We can still do them but it doesn't profit.
It is true that if humanity kept the dietary laws the ecology would be better off to this day by far. The devastation to earth from eating what God told us not to would not have occurred. I think that's the point being made regarding keeping the dietary laws in that post.
@@m.e.1367 people doesn't understand how the ground is fertilize by the waste product of clean and unclean animals. That is why Jesus said that what we put in our mouth doesn't defile you, for it wasn't a physical thing but a spiritual. Even if you want to eat like healthy food, God has shorten our days to 120 years.
With epidemic going around some people 's lives may even be 70. The old covenant was not to make us perfect, but so our sin would be covered till Jesus came to take away sin.
He came to abolish the sins in our flesh.
@@shellyblanchard5788 I think you are arguing a point that wasn't actually being argued. You may want to read that again because the post you're responding to never argued for what you are arguing against. Obviously, it's what goes into our hearts that defiles us. Nevetheless, wildlife is being decimated and these have a right to life, too, as is clear in Genesis 2. It would have been best for the ecology (I agree with that original post) if ALL of humanity had been keeping the dietary laws. It shows that after the Fall, God gave a provision for mankind to eat some (and only kill them in a humane way) and this we simply DON'T do, earth-wide. BUT if we did, earth would be better off. That's the point, for the most part, not that we should keep every part of the Old Covenant, and not that we can cleanse ourselves of sin by doing so. Obviously, only the atonement of the Messiah does that.
Really excellent and balanced teaching from Michael Brown, as usual.
Brother thank you for this teaching!! It has helped me understand how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law. Jesus is my only hope and savior.
Brother, i love your intellect and approach so much. You are a standard bearer for those who believe. Because your standard is the word of God. Shalom aleichem.
Praise God 🙌! Thank you Dr. Brown for explaining so clearly. For all to understand 😊. The best part is that you explain from a Jewish perspective. That way the true meaning of the Word comes to life when you explain. Thanks 😊
Thank you for this MUCH needed solid, Biblical teaching. The misunderstandings and misinterpretations concerning the Mosaic Law have caused such pain and sadness in our family. :(
Mine too.💔
How has it caused pain in your family ?
Thank you for addressing this question.
Dr Michael Brown you have brought me so much clarity! Thank you ☺️
Lots of very good balanced teaching. Thank you Dr Brown.
Thank you, Dr. Brown, for your telling us the Truth from the Word of God.
He fulfilled our punishment for not following the law, the we need not be put to death, He did not abolish the law.
That makes no sense, friend.
If you get a speeding ticket, and when you go to court, the judge has pity on you and pays your ticket for you, does that mean all the world's speed limit signs can be ignored afterward?!?
Jesus paid the penalty for our sins - the second death. Do we now thank Him by ignoring His Laws?!?
Remember, "You shall not steal, you shall not commit adultery, and you shall not murder" are also a part of the Law of God. Surely, you don't believe we can do those things now. So, why would you think we can ignore any other part of God's Law?!?
James 2:10 KJV
(10) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
@@curesoon I thank you for replying, but I fear you have misinterpreted my comment, I believe we are still supposed to be following all 613 commandments. In no way shape or form is it okay to abandon the laws, as Yeshuah did not fulfil the law and abolish it, he instead shouldered our iniquity and our pending punishments that we need not be put to death for our sins. He even says himself in Luke 16:17) But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.
I appreciate your zeal my brother, but please be sure to direct it to where it is aimed. Though I am glad to see that someone else believes the law wasn't abolished, for there are so many that believe the old covenant is moot and no longer is required to be honored and it breaks my heart to see so many lead astray.
God's Blessings unto you.
@@hadarbenazrielha-david4180
I may have replied to the wrong comment. Oops! Well, I'm glad we agree on the Truth.
If he didn't abolish it , then you still need an atonement for your sin.
To fulfill mean to end it.
Jesus himself said said the law and the prophets were until John.
So you can say he didn't abolish all day and it wouldn't be so.
He came to change the preisthood and covenant.
The moral law is still in effect only the oblation is ceased. Hosea 2 said he would cause them to cease and the merth of it.
@@shellyblanchard5788
If "to fulfill mean to end it," then why did Jesus say "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." (Matthew 5:17 - KJV)
Also, look at the statement of Jesus one more time - "Fulfil" applies to both the Law and the Prophets, which is a euphemism for ALL of Holy Scripture. Are you saying that Jesus abolished ALL of Holy Scripture along with ALL of the words of the prophets? Do you see how that interpretation is obviously false?!?
When Jesus said, "the law and the prophets were until John." This is a quote from Luke 16:15-17 KJV (15) And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. (16) The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (17) And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to FAIL.
Did you notice the last verse in this text? Heaven and Earth!
So what does Jesus mean? Jesus is saying that He came to bring about what God promised in Holy Scripture (the Law and the Prophets).
You said, "He came to change the priesthood and covenant." Here, you are correct! He came to make a New Covenant "established on better promises" (Hebrews 8:6), and to set up a nation of priests (Revelation 1:5-6), but the Law itself did not change - It cannot change because everything Jesus did for us is built upon the foundation of that Law. Instead, the proper way to look at it is to see that the Law of God was "refocused" by the coming of Jesus into the world. What used to apply to lambs and other sacrifices, now applies to Jesus as the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29). Also, any who receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour become priests in the new temple built without human hands (Act 7:48) - this is the church (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Instead of abolishing the Law, the grace Jesus purchased with His own blood brings us into harmony with His "perfect law of liberty" (James 1:25 & 2:12).
I enjoyed your teaching tremendously. You are very balanced. God keep you and your family.
Jesus makes it abundantly clear that not a single jot or tittle will pass from the Law until Heaven and Earth pass away and everything is brought to completion. He also makes it abundantly clear that the Commandments He then refers to are those pertaining to the Law. And He shows us how He fulfills them, not by taking away from them, nor by adding to them, but filling them up to their fullness, it is not enough to not murder, you must love. It is not enough to not have sex with your neighbor's wife, you must not even desire it, you must love your neighbor as yourself, and only want what is best for them.
The Apostle Paul teaches us the same, "Let he who stole, steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs."
This is the fulfillment of the Law.
The Sacrifices too, find fulfillment in Christ, who offered Himself for us, not to abolish the Law but to save those who under the Law were condemned for breaking the Law. But "what shall we say then, shall we continue to sin", that is, to break the Law, for "whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law", and so shall we continue to transgress the Law "that Grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
Again, "Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. Whoever stays in him sins not: whoever sins has not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother."
And, "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. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith."
"Do we then make void the Law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law."
Heaven and earth was the temple, it has passed away. It was destroyed in 70ad. We are the temple now.
Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets and heaven and earth passed away. So the law is passed.
@@shellyblanchard5788 No, heaven and earth was not the temple, you don't just get to make stuff up to serve your own theology.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Jesus' orders to his people were:
9 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to OBEY ALL that I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.
Jesus' commands CONTAINED the essence of God's moral law but they were not IDENTICAL to the Mosaic Law.
JimiSurvivor Jesus never said that. This was added to our bible either by a bibliographer or Some Church father. Look up Johannine Comma.
@@rosstemple7617
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them TO OBEY all that I have COMMANDED YOU. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:18-19)
All these verses are part of The Great Commission. The so-called Comma Johannine refers specifically to the line about how converts are to be Baptized, "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" which is also found in 1 John 5:7 Without distinguishing the Commission from the Comma you have simply thrown it all out saying that Jesus never said any of it.
I really do not need to engage in textual or higher criticism in order to make my original point which was that we must obey Jesus commandments. This fact is mentioned throughout the NT. For instance, Jesus said:
If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
Jesus definitely told us that obeying Him was part of our love for Him (unless you think this too was added by some Church father) "His commandments" (PLURAL) includes whatever He said. As the Apostle John said:
…2 By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 3 For this IS the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome...
(1 John 5:2-3)
John says that "loving God" IS [equivalent to] keeping His commandments. Obeying Him is not a burden for believers because all his commands ultimately stem from love and because under the provisions of the NEW COVENANT the Holy Spirit moves inside us and "writes His laws on our hearts and minds:"
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
(Hebrews 8:8-10)
This is not an optional way of life reserved for mature believers but a basic part of our relationship from the beginning. Whether or not we should Baptize in the name of the Father, or the whole Trinity is less important in my mind to the issue of whether we should obey Christ.
JimiSurvivor if there’s a baptism it’s from God. You are missing the point. Baptism is By God period. We have nothing to do with it. It’s not water. It’s just the Spirit. Pneuma and Pur as John the Baptist says: Matt 3: 11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Jesus never baptized anybody with water. That’s a tradition of the old. Unfortunately this is part of the great falling away. Peter said Not the water Forbid. But the translators changed it to: Acts 10: 47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
But in the Received Text Peter is saying who can add to what they have been given. I suggest you look for an Interlinear Bible. Look up the original words in Greek and Hebrew. If God doesn’t build the house the builder builds in vain. We can pray and lay hands on people to help them through things we’ve already gone through, this is a gift of the spirit. But even then it’s by God that they’re able to receive it. Baptism is Spirit and Zeal. Water is a tradition of men. Part of the cleansing laws. The reason Jesus was Baptized was so the Elders would listen to Him. They called Him a Samaritan because he lived North of Judah. God bless and may God give you understand.

Which Church Father added this in? I found the "Joannine Comma" in writings dating as far back as the First Century. For instance:
And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize INTO THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (Matthew 28:19) in living [running] water.
Didache (c. A.D. 50-70), Chapter 7. "Concerning Baptism.
"
" And again, giving to the disciples the power of regeneration into God, He said to them," Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
Irenaeus, (c. A.D. 185, Against Heresies: Book III, Chapter XVII, section 1
...he commanded the eleven others, on his departure to the Father, to "go and disciple all nations," who were to be baptized into "the Father, and into the Son, and into the Holy Spirit." Immediately, therefore, that is what the apostles did, whom this designation ["apostle"] indicates as "the sent." (20)
Tertullian of Carthage (c. A.D. 160 - 225), Prescription Against Heretics, chapter 20
For the law of baptizing has been imposed, and the formula prescribed: "Go," he says, "disciple the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The comparison with this law of that definition, "Unless a man have been reborn of water and Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of the heavens" (Jn. 3:5) has tied faith to the necessity of baptism.
Tertullian of Carthage (c. A.D. 160 - 225), On Baptism, chapter 13)
“Go ye and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” And by this He showed, that whosoever omitted any one of these, failed in glorifying God perfectly. For it is through this Trinity that the Father is glorified. For the Father willed, the Son did, the Spirit manifested. The whole Scriptures, then, proclaim this truth.
Hippolytus, (c. A.D. 225), "Against the Heresy of One Noetus." par. 14. In Ante-Nicene Fathers. Vol. V.
It seems right to inquire into the reason why he who is 'born again through God' to salvation has need of both Father and Son and Holy Spirit and will not obtain salvation apart from the entire Trinity, and why it is impossible to become partaker of the Father or the Son without the Holy Spirit. In discussing these points it will undoubtedly be necessary to describe the activity which is peculiar to the Holy Spirit and that which is peculiar to the Father and Son.
Origen, (c. A.D. 225) De Principiis, book 1, chapter 3
Origin shows that all the Trinity are involved in our salvation
The Lord, when, after his resurrection, he sent forth His apostles, charges them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in Earth. Go, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
Cyprian, (A.D. 249-258,)"To Moyses and Maximus and the Rest of the Confessors." Epistle 24:2, Ante-Nicene Fathers. Vol. V.
These were all pre-Nicene teachers. The Church had no strong central government but was decentralized. It would have been impossible to control the literature that was being produced in order to back date and superimpose Trinitarian formulae on earlier theological works.
JimiSurvivor Baptism is Spiritual. The Spirit is Truth. Truth brings Enlightenment. The truth will set you free. Tradition will not. Water Baptism is a canker worm. One time saved ideology which leads people to stay “Christian” but doesn’t change the heart nor deepens the daily relationship with God.
The Apostolic Fathers by Lightfoot.
-in accordance with the early Christian language which spoke of Baptism as an ‘enlightening’ (φωτισμός).

Dr. Brown, I watched this teaching again and want to say again it really blesses me and gives me joy. You get it so right! This is such a thorny issue and so many get it wrong. Thank you this is like a definitive expounding of the subject. Some who used to be correct seem to have fallen back into legalism and I mean some who are very famous and revered. Paul calls a double curse on this. Is it not so?
That helped a lot. Saturday or Monday is mute. Because we keep every day Holy unto God. But I love going to Synagogue and Church. IE Assembly. Question for Dr. Brown: Shouldn’t we keep the feasts? But as unto a witnesses Messiah?
He fulfilled the law
He met the requirements for righteousness without sin, therefore the Father was pleased with him. No one else has succeeded in this. Others had to sacrifice animals for their sin according to the law but not Jesus. Because he was faultless and innocent and sacrificed, we can receive the blessing of the Holy Ghost through faith in him. Remain in Jesus' love by keeping his commandments.
Very good teaching thank you bother
So blessed teaching GOD bless you abundantly in JESUS CHRIST mighty name i pray brother
Amen 🙏🏾
I understand that there are future prophecies concerning the feasts pointing to Jesus' return yet to be fulfilled as spoken by the prophets and foreshadowed in the law. However, He also had to keep them in His time when He was here in order to meet the demands of the law perfectly. If we say that He kept the law perfectly this must also include keeping the feasts perfectly even though He was sinless and didn't need a sacrifice to temporarily atone for sin. He was sinless. But the command still had to be obeyed and righteousness had to be kept. So yes, He did fulfill the whole law in that aspect. He met its full demands.
Dr Brown,
Regarding what you’ve said in your vid that dietary laws and Sabbath are for Jews and that gentile believers don’t have to keep them and that we’re no longer under the Sinai covenant, then, how do you explain the New/Renewed Covenant in Jeremiah 31 that tells us that the Torah will be written on our hearts?
Is the Torah only written on the hearts of the house of Israel and House of Judah?
Are gentile believers grafted in to Israel and is this how they are part of the NC?
If gentile believers are grafted into Israel and this is how they partake of the NC then are you saying that only parts of the Torah are written on the hearts of gentile believers?
Doesn’t Numbers 15:15 and Isaiah 56 tell us that there’s one law, one Torah for BOTH the Jew and the gentile who joins Adonai?
Isaiah 56: 3 A foreigner joining Adonai should not say,
“Adonai will separate me from his people”;
If the foreigner aka gentile who joins Adonai is not to be separated from Adonai’s people, the Jews, then why are they-the gentile believers-being separated from the Torah?
Perfectly explained
Thank you 😊
I don't see how you can talk about your Jewish friends, who were forced to eat ham to prove they were saved, and about the Catholics who forced Jews to renounce the Feasts, and the Sabbath etc. before they could be Baptized, and then still not get what Paul was saying when he told the early believers "let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath." Paul was telling the believers not to let anyone judge them for Keeping the Sabbath, not for breaking the Sabbath. Read Church history, never will you see Sabbath-keepers burning professing Christians at the stake for not Keeping the Sabbath, but you will find time and time again, those who keep the Sabbath, beaten, imprisoned, stoned, burned, etc. etc. By Pagans, by non-believing Jews, by Roman Catholics, and even by Protestants.
Vs 17. These *are* a shadow, not these *were* a shadow, as almost every Pastor teaches. In the same manner that Baptism is a Shadow, and Communion or the Lord's Supper is a Shadow, so too are these other Commandments. They point us to Christ, reminding us of Him, His life, His death, His resurrection, the giving of the Spirit, His soon return in fiery judgment, the separation of the sheep from the goats, and the new life with God in the heaven and new earth.
You only need to keep reading to see that the ones judging are the pagans and the syncretists, the various heretics and gnostics... they worship angels (which churches today pray to St. Michael?), they make a show of asceticism (think self-flagellation, etc), going on in details about visions (research the lady of fatima, and the many other visions the Romans use to justify their heresies), puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind (look at how they enjoy the praises of men, parading around with their long flowing robes, decked in gold and silver, having men bow to them and kiss their hands, does this not remind you of our Lord's words in Matthew 23?), and not holding fast to the Head (but replacing the Head with the Pope, or some other spiritual guru).
Then Paul reasons, if you died with Christ, why do you submit to these regulations, but he is not talking about the Commandments of God, as he himself says they are "the commandments and teachings of men", and finishes by saying "These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh."
How anyone can interpret this as Paul telling the early believers to not keep God's Commandments I will never understand. Rather he is saying do not let those who worship angels and make a show of humility with their self-made religion and asceticism (with its severity of body), judge you for keeping the Commandments of God.
Helpful reply. Thanks!
God bless you. I’ve always wrestled with this problem. Mostly the sabbath. I read romans a lot and become satisfied for a bit then I go back in the Torah where it convicts me again. I know Paul says new moon and sabbaths are a shadow of things to come and to focus on Christ. It’s just something that makes me study a lot and still come to the same conclusion giving me a weak conscience so to speak lol. Even though I’ve heard it countless times I still don’t I know what to make of it.
Timmy Kapow - yeah I know what you mean brother. I wrestled with it too but what finally settled it for me was when I found out that the first century Apostles kept 7th day Sabbath but in addition gathered together many other days of the week because they were “adding to the church daily”. The Gospel was being taught daily and the Holy Spirit was and still is working mightily. It was the Catholics who abolished the seventh day sabbath along with the Feast Days. Most Protestants just followed. No where in the New testament can you find the Sabbath changed. Something else to think about, Paul could not nor would not change a law set forth from God or else he would be considered a false prophet according to Duet 13 test of a prophet. So keep the Sabbath, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown as laid out in Torah and watch your house be blessed.
Dr Brown is wrong. The law wasn’t done away with in any way, shape, or form. My 5:18 says that not one jot or tittle will be done away from the law until the heavens and earth are done away with; has that happened? You cited Romans; if we’re grafted into the same root as Judah, and if Judah was charged with keeping Torah; and if YHWH hates unjust scales (prov 11:1); then how are Judah and grafted in believers judged differently?
1st John is replete with one and two liners that incessantly restate the fact that the law wasn’t done away with. Chapter 2, vs 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I didn’t say it, so don’t Spartan Kick me off a cliff.
Deut 12 lays out how YHWH is to be worshipped. Deut 13 lays out the punishment for a man that does miracles (has visions) and does away with the law; or as 12:32 says, “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”
If the Father commanded his people to not diminish from the law, and if Paul taught men that the law was finished to the point that it’s doesn’t need to be adhered to, wouldn’t that make Paul a false prophet? I guess the Jews were right in stoning Paul.
Read in Acts 6:13&14 about the treatment of Steven. 13And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
Did you catch that? The liars said, “....this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.” If liars said it, then the opposite is true. What’s the opposite. He didn’t say that he would destroy the place, and he didn’t say that he would change the customs that Moses delivered. If he didn’t change the customs that Moses delivered, then they’re still the same today as they were yesterday, and will be the same tomorrow. Ironically, that’s in keeping with YHWH’s character; isn’t it; same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; not a man that He should repent (that is to say change the way He Acts; I.e. stop judging people for not keeping his law, and begin to bless people for not keeping his law).
@@lanceroark6386 You are ignoring that little word "until" in Matthew 5:18. Paul uses the same word in Galatians 3:16-29. Paul said the law was "added" 430 years "after" the promise made to Abraham "until" the seed (Christ) could come to whom the promise was made.
The Old Covenant and the New Covenant cannot be one and the same, based on a clear contrast between the two covenants which is found in the New Testament. Confirmation of the contrast between the Old Covenant and New Covenant is found below.
2Co 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2Co 3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
2Co 3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
(Why did Paul compare the ten commandments to a ministry of death?)
Gal 4:24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- (Is Paul comparing the Sinai Covenant to “bondage”, and using “Hagar” as a symbol of the Sinai Covenant?)
Gal 4:25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children-
Gal 4:26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Gal 4:27 For it is written: "REJOICE, O BARREN, YOU WHO DO NOT BEAR! BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR! FOR THE DESOLATE HAS MANY MORE CHILDREN THAN SHE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."
Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Gal 4:29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREEWOMAN."
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
(Why did Paul compel the Galatian believers to “cast out” the Sinai Covenant of “bondage” in the passage above?)
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
(Does the verse above say there is a change in the law?)
Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, in as much as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. (Was this written in the present tense during the first century?)
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Heb 8:8 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-
Heb 8:9 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.
Heb 8:10 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.
Heb 8:11 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.
Heb 8:12 FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."
Heb 8:13 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. (Do most modern Christians ride a horse to their church, or has that mode of transportation now become “obsolete”? Is there now a better way to get there? See the master teacher in 1 John 2:27.)
Heb 12:18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, (Is that mountain Mount Sinai?)
Heb 12:19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.
Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: "AND IF SO MUCH AS A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT SHALL BE STONED OR SHOT WITH AN ARROW."
Heb 12:21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I AM EXCEEDINGLY AFRAID AND TREMBLING.")
Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, (Is this verse speaking of the “church” of Jesus Christ?)
Heb 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
(Why does the text above say that we are not come to Mount Sinai, but to Mount Zion? If the New Covenant is merely the Old Covenant “renewed” in the hearts of believers, why is the contrast found above?)
Watch the UA-cam videos “The New Covenant” by Bob George, and “New Covenant Theology Made Simple” by David H. J. Gay.
.
The old law is obsolete (Heb 8:13), completed, finished. The new covenant written on our hearts is much better. Do not murder is good, but do not have hate in your heart is better. Do not commit adultery is good, but do not look at a woman with lust is better. The rules we have written on our hearts are not exactly the same (although 9 of them are included) as what was written on tablets of stone, they are better. The 10 commandments were a tutor until Jesus came Gal 3:24-25. But before the 10 commandments were given to Israel, it was still wrong to murder, commit adultery, lie, steal, worship idols, etc. But remembering the Sabbath was a specific rule to Israel as a sign of the covenant between God and Israel (Ex 31:13). Now we have a sign of the new covenant between the Lord and his people by remembering Jesus' broken body and spilled blood (Luke 22:19-20).
The new covenant laws are love God and love others. The New Testament has a lot of rules about how this should look, including 9 of the 10 commandments, do not gossip, do not be anxious, help the widow and the orphan, etc. I have heard there are over a thousand. Good thing they are summed up in two and written on our hearts! After Jesus resurrected, he did not appear on a Sabbath. And the disciples preached on the Sabbath to reach Jews. But when Paul started ministering to Gentiles he no longer went to the temple on the Sabbath.
Look at what happened to the curtain in the temple when Jesus died on the cross. It was torn in two, no longer needed. New covenant in place, providing direct relationship with God. Believers have now entered Jesus' rest. Sabbath was a shadow of the true rest. Heb 10:1.
Every day is the Lords. Some churches are so large they have services on Saturday and Sunday. Same service, great fellowship with other followers of Jesus, same sermon, same worship music. Does God condemn the ones who are there on Sunday but not Saturday?
SpotterVideo I didn’t ignore anything. It’s right there in my statement. Until means that the law will be done away with AFTER the heavens and earth are done away with.
I’m not even going to read the rest of your response if you can’t figure that out.
Dr Brown,God bless your ministry.I always find insight in your videos.With Love ,from Zambia.

If you wanna have a bad time, go read through the chat replay lol
The Covenant in Jer 31:31-34 wasn't new. it didn't have a different law. The Messiah came to fulfill it.
It is with the same law giving to Moses. the only difference is that this time is going to be written in our hearts no in stones anymore. Since we had a heart like a diamond we couldn't keep it, so the new covenant was better because we were receiving a different heart and with the help of the holy spirit, we could obey the law (Zac.7:12 and Ezeq. 36:26-27)
Jere. 31:33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Zac.7:12
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
Ezeq. 36:26-27
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
I agree, except that I believe the Torah tells us we can actually do what it says.
He did say it was different, he said not like the one he gave to their fathers, which they brake , although he was an husband to them. So if it is not like the one he gave to their fathers, it is different.
@Jeremiah Lawson the stone tables have nothing to do with it. You're trying to find an excuse to make it work but it doesnt. And only the 10 commandments were given on stone tables, not the rest of the laws so that already makes your argument invalid. We all know its talking about the law itself, not the stones. The law is not binded by stones.
@john fig thats not true. You still sin whether you have the holy spirit or not. You still cant keep the law. If you say you do you are lying and disproving the whole statement.
You still sin. Thats not changing until Jesus returns
@@menknurlan I can do all things posible to keep the "law", but if I decide to break it on purpose without even trying with the excuse that I can do it because Jesus hasn't returned yet, I am transgreding it with premeditation and treachery. That is wrong..
everyday We all sin and we ask for mercy when we do it by mistake. (but we try not to do it again).
we should ask GOD that converts our heart of stone into a heart of flesh. (thru the help of the holy spirit) to keep the law and not transgreding it again next time. and when Jesus comes back at least we are being obedient and doing our best. (that's why the holy spirit is betwen us, to guides in the right path: "He will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.")
I believe that we are under the new covenant. Dr. Brown I love your videos.
The new covenant is the same as the old, they are just written on your heart now (you will WANT to keep them). And now you have the Holy Spirit to help you
@Sherry DuBois The mosaic, levitical, ceremonial, and food laws we aren't bound under. Only the moral. As Paul wrote, "we're no longer under law, but under grace." And says, if we must keep the law to be saved, then it's no longer grace that saves us, but works.
@@TheNewUA-camHandlesAreDumb Keeping the law is not or salvation buut or pleasing Yah. And is a statement, as is baptism
Is it ok to post it on my UA-cam channel?
Dr. B, how does Paul's circumcising Timothy play into 1 Cor 7:18 by your view?
Also, how do you respond to the eschatological view that is used to get people to subscribe to mosaic law because the third temple will require sacrifices (per Ezekiel), punishments regarding dietary laws (per Isaiah 66:17), and/or feast days (per Zech 14:18)? What does this mean for Israel? and for Gentiles? I dont mean this in a salvific way, but an obedience way..
I find people make the mistake of thinking all scripture applies the same to all people. It does not. The holy bread is for the priests only yet David ate it and gave some to his men to eat. There are repeated examples how some people did things against the laws and traditions and God did not kill them but others did and God killed them or punished them.
It does not take much thinking to realize Paul and Timothy's situation and how they decided how to handle it. They decided and maybe with guidance from the Holy Spirit. This does not mean they are sinning unto death. Jesus told his disciples to buy swords and this was so he would be counted among the transgressors. Jesus told them to do something that is a sin. Jesus got them to transgress the law so he would be counted among transgressors. There is no way for anyone to explain that situation in any other way than the bible actually says it plays out. All wrong doing is sin but not all sin leads unto death. Anyone who has a mind that can not reconcile actions and scripture with common sense is going to have a lot of disappointments in their view of their own religion.
I personally look at the 'Letters to the Churches' as what they are, Letters to the Churches. I do not take them as being applicable to 'everyone' for 'all time' in 'every situation'. The bible is 66 books. All scripture is not in the bible. Jesus quotes from the Book of Enoch and yet the book of Enoch is not in the bible. Some sin leads unto death and some sin leads not unto death. If all sin is not equal, it is intelligent to accept that all scripture is not equal.
👇Paul opens with this.
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.
👇Then he says this is a Rule, which I do not count as Law of Salvation.
This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
You only give singe verses as a reference. I teach people to not give single verses but whole teachings. What you are doing is using that single verse out of context. That causes confusion more than it helps with understanding.
As far as people who try to push others into Law diets, Jesus has a teaching on that very subject. Why did you not link to that teaching? They are in Mark 7 and Matthew 15. now people who read this post will go read Mark 7 and Matthew 15 and see all of those chapters, including Jesus explaining what defiles people. Acts 10 and 1 Corinthians 8 also establish into the topic within the context of the New Testament.
About something in 1 Corinthians 8, I myself, the Holy Spirit and Peter and others disagree that we should be concerned about what Weaker Christians think about what we do. The Holy Spirit tells Peter to go into the Roman Commander's home and that could be an issue for younger believers if they see Peter going into the home of a Roman Commander. Especially if those younger converts are Jews. So if someone wants to put a rule or law on their shoulders that says they have to live in a restricted manner so as to not offend, they can.
All believers do not have to ascribe to that Thinking/Rule. They can choose to be free in the Holy Spirit as I do and others do and live according to what the Holy Spirit is telling them to do at each time. If some wants to eat the Jewish Kosher diet and do so loving God and being thankful, fine and if others do not, fine. If some sin by judging others, then that is typical for the course of humans. It is up to the Holy Spirit to work that out. Not being a sin unto death is of no issue for myself or others or the Gospel. Jesus told his disciples to buy swords, causing them to be transgressors, just so he would be counted among the transgressors. Jesus also did not care about offending people or religious people. It was not an issue for Jesus, not an issue for Peter, not an issue for the Holy Spirit, so I strive to look at situations from that perspective and teach people to be the same. I do not just teach believers this but all people this.
@@fla-bushcraftprepper941 haha I appreciate your stab at it, but taking up swords isn't a sin. He told them to prepare for the environment after his own death (aka his being numbered with the transgressors--being killed and buried with sinners). God is not a pacifist.
I have a rationale that reconciles Timothy's circumcision with 1 Cor 7 but I was looking for Dr. Brown's rationale, which is why I said "by your view".
@@dashaunjefferies1168 You reply "haha I appreciate your stab at it, but taking up swords isn't a sin. He told them to prepare for the environment after his own death (aka his being numbered with the transgressors--being killed and buried with sinners). God is not a pacifist." Is as far from the Truth of that time as you are right now in 2019 as far from that time. "
Let us analyse that time.
#1 Romans forbid average Jews from having Swords because of the Zealot attacks. Only Temple Guards and personal escorts of the Sanhedrin and Roman Soldiers were allowed to carry swords. Also Jesus did not tell them so they could prepare for after his own death as it explains why he told them to buy swords.
The Bible teaching and not one verse but the whole teaching.
Luke 22
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36👉 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 ✍👉It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
👍
38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“That’s enough!” he replied.
So we see you do not know, and so it is you who took a stab at it and you got it wrong. You also laughed at Scripture when it was clearly told to you correctly.
Jesus told them to take swords because swords were not legal to use by average Jews and this was because of the Jewish Zealot attacks on Romans.
Let us see what Jesus says when one of them uses one of the Swords.
Also in Luke 22
47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49👉 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 👉But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52 👉Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him,✍👉 “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour-when darkness reigns.”
John 18
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a]
10👉 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 👉Jesus commanded Peter, ✍“Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
Matthew 26
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[d]
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 👉With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52👉 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him,✍ “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, 👉✍“Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Here the Jewish Leaders say they have lost their rights to enforce laws of death. They are not allowed to execute people and their citizens were not allowed to have weapons of warfare. This includes swords.
John
28 👉Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 👉Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
👉“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected👈. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
Let us see what Jesus tells Pilot about his followers using weapons and rising up and fighting as the Jewish Zealots were doing.
John
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” 👉Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 👉Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
We see Jesus never intended on his followers to use the swords. He only wanted them to get the swords and carry them so they would be transgressing the Law and thus he would be counted among the Transgressors. 100% exactly as it says in the scripture I told you about.
I know these things because I study full chapters. I study every scripture I can find on a specific subject and then go study the whole chapter it is inside of so I know the Truth. I want to know Who, What, When , Where, How and Why. I do not want to know a verse here and a verse there and then some preacher's version of the facts. God gave us access to the books in the bible so we can study them for ourselves.
@@fla-bushcraftprepper941 You sure write a lot haha. I didnt laugh at scripture but rather your own conviction in your interpretation, which you deem the ONLY way it can be seen hah. But because you already have the answer, then you are already right and cannot be open to any other interpretation than your own. Your conclusion: "Jesus told them to do something that is a sin. Jesus got them to transgress the law so he would be counted among transgressors. There is no way for anyone to explain that situation in any other way than the bible actually says it plays out."
There's no point in back and forth at this point. And, no disrespect (genuinely, no disrespect), I was looking for Dr. Brown's opinion, not your's.I already have my own, but just wanted to see from his perspective, since he sorta laid his foundation with 1 Cor 7. But thank you though
@@dashaunjefferies1168
Following Torah is not just not committing adultery, but stoning those who do.
Greetings, the "old testament" teaches there will still be animal sacrifices, feasts, and Sabbath when messiah comes. So how do we reconcile Jesus fulfilling a sacrifice? Thanks
People do not understand about the heaven and earth passing. They think it is the one that we live in now. They think that is the one that has to pass before we are not under the law. 😊
Christ is the end of the law for the righteousness of those who believe - Rom 10:4.
What about all of the scriptures of Torah based civilization existing all throughout the Messianic Age? For example Ezekiel 37 talks about this, Isaiah 2, Micah 4, Isaiah 66, etc. You know the references and what I am talking about. The third Temple (Ezekiel, Micah, Isaiah, other places) the YHVH appearing in the temple to purify the sons of Levi to offer an offering in righteousness, etc.

Jesus/Yeshúa, fufilled everything written
about Him, in Law/Toráh and profets, cfr.
Lc.24:26,27,44-47;Ro.5:19(in Him, we fulfilled, the Law.
From Puerto Rico, in my prayers Brother Brown.🙏🫂❤
Very nice be blessed
Why does anyone believe Paul? Besides his letters, what proof of Paul is there?
The wisdom is in the Old testament, and is scripture for correction and reproof, for the gospel followers. The glory brought by Jesus from the Torah.
Im not surprised but Jesus for your information Jesus is the LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen
Jesus fulfilling the law is NOT doing away with it. Jesus fulfilling means he FOLLOWED the law. I choose to obey ALL OF GOD 10 COMMANDMENTS because I love GOD!!
You obviously didn't listen to the video
But there are more than 10? Do what you think you have to do, but Jesus taught Jews to follow the Law of Moses (Torah) before his death and resurrection. The early church did not expect this of Gentiles. As Dr. Browning explained there are 600+ and with no temple only 300+ can be kept. If Jesus is our sacrifice we can’t keep those anyway. So why does the Law still stand, why does the covenant still exist with over half of it not even applying anymore? Paul said you can’t pick and choose, you have to keep all of the Law not just bits that you like. If you believe you must follow the Torah (Law of Moses) as a Christian, then by all means keep sacrificing animals and crops for your sins. That’s basically what Paul says at one point.
I think the difficulty is people don’t think morality or God’s commandments exist outside of the Torah. It does, they do. Paul said there was a Law of Christ.
@@MikeLundquist 'All of Gods commandments', in the mosaic law there are 613 commandments, not a single verse in scripture separates the 10 from the rest, you have another 603 to try and keep, unfortunately for you you can't, because there is no temple and no Levitical priesthood any longer.
Ephesians 2:15 by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace. It looks like our creator abolishes ordinances for the sake of peace..
between these two?
Wow, profound
Dr. Brown I have been asking this question for a long time and no one can give me an answer, What is the old covenant and what is the new covenant, please if anyone knows,respond
Abraham covenant is still in effect. However the new covenant is from Jesus. Hebrews explains it well as it points to the Old Testament… Jer 31 fulfilment. Hence we are grafted into Abraham descendants
Would you agree in that we are not justified by the Torah but we do learn to live in sanctification by the Torah?
No, read Galatians and listen to what Dr Brown says in the video
@@johnygoodwin3441 you do know that Galatians is not the only letter that Paul wrote. You would error to interpret Galatians in a vacuum. In order to understand Galatians correctly is to interpret within the context of Paul’s other letters and of course, the context of Jesus teachings which are all based on the teachings of the Old Testament. If you fail to contextualize the letter of Galatians, you will fall in the error of the lawlessness ones as Peter warns.
2 Peter 3:15-17 (NKJV) 15 and consider [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable [people] twist to their own destruction, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know [this] beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked.
Do a word study on the adjectives that Peter used to describe the people he warning about and you will be shocked that it describes the mainstream Christian doctrine on Lawlessness.
Another question I do have is, What is the mosaic law or the law of Moses different from the Sinai covenant
And what is the Sinai covenant? Explain please!
Same
Thanks
So are we to keep the 10 Commandments or what? Gentiles worship on Sunday. Is this right? God said to remember to the Sabbath, to keep it Holy. The Sabbath, not the Sunday! How are you going to keep just 9 Commandments? Who gave us permission to worship God on Sunday?
good questions. no easy answers. that is because we think Jesus overturned the Law. He didn't. ua-cam.com/video/Qifcqin5RwQ/v-deo.html
Neither the Law or Christian ethics or works save us.
Amen god 🙏 bless you,2021
Would you like to serve in Nepal preaching the message ?
If what you're saying is true (and I greatly respect what you are saying here) but why isn't it written it for us to where there would be no confusion? The Torah and what the "jews" are told as well those grafted in is written out in great detail, there is no question about it. So if we are not be keeping the Torah (which isn't very hard) why isn't it written out in detail for us to keep the ten commandments only or part of the ten commandments? Many of the laws can not be kept because there is no temple. And why would we stone anyone to death if Christ came to die for our sins? All throughout the Bible the law "torah" is held in very high regard. It is called the truth, the light and Yah calls it His doctrine. So why would He do away with it and all of sudden it has become a burden? People get confused becasue God's law (the Torah) and man's laws are both referred to as the law now. This should have never been. The Torah should be called the Torah throughout the Bible. Removing this word has only caused confusion. When you learn the Torah and start to see that it was never meant to be done away with, the entire Bible comes together perfectly. It all flows and makes much much more sense. Most Christians have never understood the feast days because we were never taught about them in church. The feast days are absolutely amazing and bring the Bible to life in ways I've never experienced. Why anyone would turn up their nose and not want to observe these is perplexing to me now.
Whether we agree or not isn't as important as what is the truth!
The LAW is RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jesus fulfilled (obeyed) the law of righteousness. Faith counts for righteousness, and Jesus was faithful, so fulfilled the law. The Torah also fulfills the law of righteousness.
Glory to God alone! This understanding has finally been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit through you! Thank you and may the Lord bless you and keep you!
Was Ezra commanded by G-d or Ataxerxes to institute the rabbinical system in Israel? Did Ezra and Nehemiah supplant Yeshua and Zarubbabel (types of Messiah) based on racial interpretation of Torah (priests ordered to divorce proselyte wives) which G-d in Malachi 2 criticizes? Is G-d criticizing Ezra in Malachi 2 promising to remove the rabbi and the scholar from Israel?
Mr Brown, So say that Christians don't have to follow the dietary Law. My question to you do you eat Pork? if Not why?
His life and manner of life “revealed” or fulfilled the law.His commandment he gave to his disciples was to teach others or disciples others as He disciples his disciples. Next question?
Did Yeshua really make the Torah greater? "The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple." Psalm 18:7
In the sense that it is impossible for us to meet the legal requirements of the original Torah, yes, Jesus' new covenant with His people is greater because He fulfilled the law on the cross.
That would be the covenant, that is greater then, right? Yeshua fulfilled the Torah (Pleroo), as in, fully taught it, not on the cross, but in his life. You're right, he did meet the requirement for death on the cross, making it so we don't have to die. However, again, the Torah is perfect. Each time Yeshua spoke, he simply brought the back to what it was supposed to be, not what the religions authorities taught.@@sammyt4549
"Call not what I have made clean unclean."
When Jesus stood in the temple and read the scripture where it says, the spirit of the lord is upon me , he said today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears.
Modern day Paul!🔥❤
I'm sorry I'm just seeing this, but I like what you did here I honestly do, I have only one thing to say and it's that the Sabbath was from creation and although we didn't see a command per say to keep it, it was understood to be kept Holy before the Decalogue was given there was a telling to Israel that when gathering mana they will only have It six days and there will be none one the 7th and they was to keep it holy, and that they did In exodus 16. And in verse 28 when some person came went out they were reprimanded for it.
The Sabbath was a foreshadow of the rest we find in Christ in the New Covenant. Christ is the reality of the shadows. Jesus is the lamb slain from before the foundation of the earth. The Sabbath had Christ in mind from the beginning.
:)
I love Dr Brown but why does he do that random high pitched thing ever so often? 😅
For those who only want to follow the 10 commandments, then what is stopping them from owning slaves? Which commandment lets them know slavery is immoral?
The Sabbath Rest
…6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience, 7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” 8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.…
Jesus and our salvation in Him is the New Covenant Sabbath rest. :)
He exadurated the law,He calls hatred,murder.He calls watching porn adultery.Hecsays the only reason for divorce is a cheating mate,adultery..One things for sure ,He didn't do away with the law or the priestly ordinances.When He returns to reign,He restarts the sacrifices to His Father,all but the sin offering .The feast of Tabernaclesandcothers are reinstated.
Please read carefully Galatians 3:7, 26-29. Now also go and check Romans 3:31, along with Romans 6:1,2, 14-16. The law of God has never been abolished by grace. Grace can’t exist with out law(Romans 5:13).
In 1st Cor 5 Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread with sincerity and Truth.. Not with the leavened bread of malice and deceit. Weren't many of them Gentiles? He never said any where to worship on any other days except YHWH's Sabbaths. Polycarp-deciple of John petitioned the church in Rome approx. 150 Ad, to keep Pentecost on the 14th of 1st month at even- just as Yeshua did. Didn't the Church in Rome have many Gentiles? Where do you find the Gentiles keeping other days in scripture- as Sabbaths I mean?
He didnt command them to keep the feast...they were already doing it...Paul's command was about HOW to keep it if you were going to keep it.
the scipture verses you read brother are true and correct but, the insight I receive comes from the HOLY SPIRIT…the LORD JESUS was telling the truth in fiillfilling the law and commandments through some clarification about this..HE amended it for easy way out of complicated to simple way of doing it from the traditional strict way and punishments to GOD’s people during that ancient days
Did the Sons of Israel in Exodus when they left Egypt have the full rights to the Law of Moses?
In Deuteronomy, A New Covenant is made besides the one made a Sinai, follow laws and be blessed or don’t and be cursed.
Who is the New Covenant for? What does it say will happen?
Jeremiah 31:31-34
“Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
The New covenant is for THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. If you aren’t identifying yourself with either one of those houses are you then excluding yourself from the New Covenant?
What will the New Covenant do? It will put the Law on our hearts.
Ezekiel 36 also talks about the ReNEWed covenant
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you.
There it says the new heart and the spirit he puts in us will cause us to walk in all his ways and to do His laws.
I encourage you to read more of the surrounding passages in both Ezekiel and Jeremiah.
The New covenant is actually the RENEWED covenant and it will be given to the House of Israel and the House of Judah and will cause them to walk in all of Yahwehs ways…. His Torah. Because it is Holy, Righteous, Good, Spiritual, a lights, a lamp, everlasting, righteousness, the way, the truth and so much more. His Torah is so good and is for His people. If you consider yourself a child of the most High God then His Torah is for you and it will go out from Tsion in the millennial Reign of Messiah.
Also didn’t Paul say there is neither Jew nor Greek but we are one in Messiah? Why does Dr Brown and others want to keep dividing us into Jew or Greek? We are now one in Messiah, the seed of Abraham and heirs to the promise. We should delight in the Torah of YHWH just like David did in Psalm 119.
Didn’t Pul say to imitate him as he imitated Christ? Well didn’t Paul keep Torah? Didn’t Messiah keep Torah? So shouldn’t we keep Torah?
The Torah was always for anyone who wanted to cling to YHWH. (Isaiah 56: 6-7, Exodus 12:49)
I pray you will seek Yahweh with all your heart, die to your flesh, fall in love with the Character of Messiah and Yah that is revealed through His Torah. He is so good. His Torah (instructions) are so good! Now go read Psalm 119!
Hey Dr Brown - love your debates on the trinity! Can you give me just ONE example of a ministry that denies Jesus is God incarnate who ALSO operates in the anointing of the Spirit to heal the sick, cast out demons, etc?? I'm looking for it but can't find it. So far I see that those who deny His Deity are Cesaarionists (believing miracles have ceased with the last apostle or the assinine teaching that we don't need miracles anymore bc we now have the Bible). This is NOT to say that ALL of doctrine must be biblically accurate if God is to use us in mighty ways - ofherwise NONE of us could be His instruments. But on SOME issues, YES - such as the FULL TRUTH of Jesus' identity and nature. Sound doctrine is paramount by it is the foundation of our faith, and while the Holy Spirit indwells all true believers, He does NOT anoint every believer - whether it is due to tolerating sin or significant false doctrine
Everyday is a rest day with God, because Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets. We don't have to keep these sabbaths and feast days. That is Paul said not judge anyone about keeping them. He said if one wants to these days it is up to individual, but he also said why go back to these weak and beggarly elements of the old covenant to keep these?
Jesus has freed from them.
Jesus died to rid us of our sins but his righteousness is also beyond any mortal. No man can enter heaven through their own "Good-deeds" as all are destined fall short of Gods glory. We share in the righteousness of our faultless saviour; Jesus.
