Are we saved by faith alone? By keeping the Law? A little of each?

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Thanks for catching my poor wording in this video, friends! Allowing me to clarify. In the video I said that through Jesus' life, suffering, death, and resurrection He achieved perfect righteousness. By that I meant He achieved perfect righteousness *_for us._* While Jesus was always perfectly righteous and without sin, it wasn't until after His resurrection that His perfect righteousness could be credited to us.I should have stated this idea it more clearly! The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin. As Peter wrote, “For you know that it is not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed . . . but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Pet. 1:18-19). It was the sinless blood of Christ alone that was able to bring peace between God and mankind (Col. 1:20). And with this reconciliation, we can be “holy in [God’s] sight, without blemish and free from accusation” (Col. 1:22). Shalom! RLS

[@Contemplate55]

Confusing correction: In the video, you said Jesus “earned” righteousness not “achieved.” You didn’t mention the word “earned” in your correction. HaShem does not need to earn or achieve righteousness for Himself or anyone else. He forgives when we repent, as demonstrated throughout the Hebrew Bible. The idea “The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin,” is NOT found anyplace in the Hebrew Bible. Human sacrifice is an abomination to HaShem.

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him? And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, and one of you tells them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled”; and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith. You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God. You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. James 2:14‭-‬26

Some people's concept of keeping the Law is based on their emotions. The reality is quite clear, because no one could keep the Law, Jesus suffered and died to free humanity from the Law's condemnation. Therefore, those who are insisting that believers must keep the Law are despising the death of Jesus Christ. They simply don't understand the Scripture.

[@rayray4192]

Hebrew roots heretics diminish the complete and final atonement of Christ, and declare the sacrifice of Christ insufficient. Galatians 5:4 is crystal clear: “You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.” The wannabe Jews will argue they are not trying to be justified by law, but everything they do proves otherwise.

[@nenkuthao5534]

Correct. One must be better than keeping or following the laws of God to even enter heaven. One must be reborn in the Holy Spirit(John 3:5, Romans8:9) which cleanses the heart of dead works, Hebrews 9:14. Christ lived a perfect life on earth, was tempted by the devil but overcame every sins; only through Christ, the Holy Spirit will guide us to live a holy life for the Father, John 16:13. Christ is love, which overcomes or defeats all laws, Galatians 5:14, Romans 13:8-10. Romans 11:6, you are either saved by works of the law or by grace. Lol, clearly we know no one can keep all laws, 613 of them, James 2:10; Galatians 3:10-12.Jesus Christ says in Matthew 5:17-18, if one is to keep the law and the Prophets until it is accomplished. Where and how it was fulfilled and accomplished? On the cross when He died to substitute on our behalf and has risen. It is finished, He says, meaning we are now able to build our relationships with the Father through faith in Him. John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me. If one is to keep the laws, then when you sin with your eyes, the Bible says to tear it out, and cut your hands when you steal or murder, etc. Matthew 5:29-30.

Thanks for all these great comments, friends! Let me clear up something regarding my citing of Isaiah 64. (Since a number of you have commented on it.) Isaiah said: "You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved? All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away" (Isa 64:5-6). What kind of acts does he say "are like filthy rags"? Their sinful acts? No, their righteous acts. That's the startling thing about this verse! If you read the prayer of mercy that starts at 63:15, you would expect Isaiah to say "all these sinful things we've done are like filthy rags." But he says we've all sinned (Sounds like Rom. 3:10, 3:23!) so that even our righteous deeds are stained. And that is equally true today. Blessings, RL

[@sundownsam]

The question that has to be ask is: Why did he imply that his righteousness is as filthy rags? The answer is in verse 7. When one is practicing or indulging in sin his righteousness adds up to nothing, just like what does it profit a man who gains the world but lose his soul, his wealth is worthless, but he still has it. A man of God at a funeral once said: If you have everything and do not have Christ you have nothing, but, if you have nothing but have Christ you have everything. A person who repents of his sin will depict himself as worthless, having nothing and they will even say there is nothing good in them. But we know that God gave us an attribute to do good. Yeshua said why call me good but tell me, would you dare to say the good in him is as filthy rags. I don't think you clearly understand this verse.

Good lesson. All things in proper context, though. Just to be clear, Faith without works is dead. This is because Faith is a verb - a state of being (belief), and action (works). It is not enough to believe, as even demons do that, but we *must allow The Set Apart Spirit* to do a good work within us that shines through as a testament to others. Those "works" should show forth as internal qualities, such as separation from worldly things, not showing everyone how much you keep a weekly sabbath, or how you wear fringes or head coverings. If such were the case for 'proving' your justification, men would have to walk around with their pants down to prove to everyone how they're circumcised, and unmarried women would have to do the same to show their virginity. Love is the key, and it's not exercised by wearing it on your sleeve; it's exercised by wearing it on your heart. Men judge by actions, but YHWH judges the heart. We are judged by every idle word (thought), not every action. Actions are only reactions to what's inside. The glow must come from within, not without.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi Anonymom! I actually think there is some truth to the idea of a hierarchy in heaven based on our earthly obedience. Not obedience to the Old Covenant law, of course, but to the law of Christ. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught: "Whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 5:19) Notice that those who "relax God’s commandments" and those who "do them" both make it into the kingdom of heaven. This passage suggests there will be, in some sense, lesser and greater citizens of heaven. And we’ll be called "lesser" or "greater" based on our obedience. But every single person who has genuinely placed their faith in Jesus will make it into heaven, bar none. Our works have no bearing on getting in. Jesus also says there are different degrees of rewards in heaven. "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done" (Matt. 16:27). Paul seems to teach the same thing in 1 Cor. 3:11-15. So in the process of our sanctification we don’t obey God and do good works in order to be justified, we do so because we have already been justified. And we strive to resist sin and grow more like Jesus because that is how genuine Spirit-filled believers who love Him ultimately want to live. And God rewards us for our faithfulness. Blessings! Rob

You are correct, it is good to ask Robert Solberg why he made such a statement that Christ achieved perfect righteousness after His resurrection when he is God's righteousness.

Shalom Rob, As a Torah-observant Christian (Judeo-Christian) I wouldn't dare offer up my works at my time of judgment. You're correct in saying that would be shameful so I'm with you on that front. However, we are called to walk in the character of Jesus. What is Jesus' character....Its the law. The law describes every bit of Jesus' righteousness. That is how we are to walk. 1 John 2:1-6 (NLT) My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins-and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. Much love and respect, Aaron

Great video. Jesus lived a perfect life for (in the place of) all believers, accounting us worthy of heaven; and He suffered the Just Wrath of God against sinners, for ( in the place of) all believers so we don't have to.

[@ikey9845]

All of the references used for defending antinomianism from this video and in your reply came from Saul. You can not use Yeshua to honestly defend a stance of lawlessness. Most people reject the Messiah’s instructions to adhere to the Father’s commands. You referenced Ephesians 2. Saul in Ephesians 2:15 states that Jesus abolished the law of commandments and ordinances….makes similar statements in Roman’s 10:4 and gal 3…. …but what did Yeshua state? Matt 5:17 says He did NOT abolish the commandments or ordinances. Continued to state that nothing would be removed from the commandments. Luke 16:16 states it would be easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for anything to be removed even if it were a punctuation change. Matthew 19:17 states if you want eternal life keep the commandments. I realize this view is counter to the traditional teachings of both dispensationalists and the tradition torah adherent teachings but we aren’t called to follow traditions from man but instead instructed to follow what Yeshua teaches everywhere he went. We have to decide between traditions of man and the teachings of the Messiah. Study on your own without the eisegetical theology. Our cornerstone of understanding is supposed to come from Yeshua not Saul and not a KZbin theologian.

On the other hand, if you say you have faith, but shows no fruit bearing or obedience which is the evidence of faith, then your faith is a dead faith, which bears no works, fruit bearings from the Holy Spirit, just like the demons inJames 2:19. Abraham was justified by works of obedience and for fruit bearings through faith, James 2:21. It is not the works we do, but the works God do in us when we are saved or justified, righteous and sanctified, phillipians 2:12-13.

And I'm sure you would agree that not every command that God has given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or for certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I'm sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). So if we want to put a classification of "law" on it, Christians follow the Law of Christ. Blessings, Rob

Salvation is by faith alone, obedience will not bring salvation, because then salvation is earned and not a gift. Yet the law still stands, one can choose to go back into sin as you correctly said.

Perhaps it is like this. - We all agree Jesus saved us and we believe in Him through Faith. Always. We are made righteous. - But once we are saved we can be unrighteous by evil deeds again. Then in order to be saved we must come to the cross and Jesus will make us righteous again. - How do we stay righteous? We dont act in unrighteous ways. We dont lie, steal, blaspheme, keep the sabbath, honour our parents (all 10) This is a serious quandry for me as scripture points to both ways.

Hi, Harry! Isaiah said: "You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved? All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away" (Isa 64:5-6). What kind of acts does he say "are like filthy rags"? Their sinful acts? No, their righteous acts. That's the startling thing about this verse! If you read the prayer of mercy that starts at 63:15, you would expect Isaiah to say "all these sinful things we've done are like filthy rags." But he says we've all sinned (Sounds like Rom. 3:10, 3:23!) so that even our righteous deeds are stained. And that is equally true today. Blessings, RL

In the beginning we are made alive who were once dead in trespasses and sin. God delivers us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of his son.

Jesus said everyone in his kingdom will not enter the kingdom of God in the end.....the son of man will send out his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and those who practice lawlessness and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father. He who has ears to hear let him hear.....for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order Christ the firstfruits afterwards those who are Christ at his coming......and as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for him he will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation......marvel not at this for the hour is coming in which all who are in the Graves will hear his voice and come forth those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation........according to scripture when rightly divide all truth pertaining to salvation, there is a difference between being saved made alive our conversion in the beginning and being resurrected unto life when Christ returns judgement our resurrection eternal salvation. That's why it not only matters if we believe remain faithful to Christ. It also matters how we live our righteousness now in this lifetime. Has nothing to do with keeping Torah laws or trying to earn salvation......

Hi Dylan! Thanks for allowing me to clarify. In the video I said that through Jesus' life, suffering, death, and resurrection He achieved perfect righteousness. By that I meant that, while Jesus was always perfectly righteous and without sin, it wasn't until after His resurrection that His perfect righteousness could be credited to us. I certainly could have worded it more clearly! The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin. As Peter wrote, “For you know that it is not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed . . . but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Pet. 1:18-19). It was the sinless blood of Christ alone that was able to bring peace between God and mankind (Col. 1:20). And with this reconciliation, we can be “holy in [God’s] sight, without blemish and free from accusation” (Col. 1:22). Blessings, Rob

If we do not lust in our heart (spiritual) as Jesus instructed, now we may be getting somewhere.

You have set up a strawman fallacy. Hebrew Roots does not mean that there is a different way to be justified other than through God's sacrifice of the perfectly obedient Jesus. However, in your response 3 hours before this one, you admit that you will have evidence of your justification. I am using the term justification so that it is not conflated with sanctification. Justification is what most people call salvation, but salvation is a broader term that often ignores sanctification that is a part of it. Justification is the unmerited gift of eternal life. Sanctification is what happens through our cooperation after we are justified. If you agree with that, tell us how we are sanctified. This is a matter of debate to be sure. Some will say through being thankful to God for justifying us (i.e. loving God) and by loving our neighbor. My contention is that loving God goes beyond being thankful. It is complimentary to our loving our neighbor, but is in itself more substantial than merely being thankful. Blessings and I really do look forward to hearing your response.

As concerning the relationship between faith and works, we have faith in Jesus Christ. If we have faith in Christ then we do his will. What is his will? What is his will? Love God, love your neighbor, keep his commandments. He also said that you would know a tree by the fruit it bears. This usually means deeds. Works also means deeds. So if there is no fruit/deeds this would seem to point to a lack of faith.

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous.

[@biblischerMinnegesang888]

1. John 3:7 - Yes, and in the whole letter John has written, what is righteous doing: abide in HIS Love! Let us love one another, for live is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 1. John 4, 7 and 8 (NASB) AND look at this: "In this is love, NOT that We loved God, but HE loved us and sent HIS SON to be the propitiation for our sins. 1. John 4, Verse 10. We should abide in HIS love, that HE has poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We receive this through faith. That is a righteous deed. Or this: "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and hevin God." 1. John 4, 15. Or this: "We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgement; because as HE is, so also are we in this world." 1. John 4, verses 16 - 17. It's all about loving God and people with God's own Love that He put in our hearts as a present like a child who his mom gives him some coints to buy a birthday present for her.😂 And verse 21 describes love as a commandment: "And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother." Loving is righteous. When you love, you do not steal from someone, in more cases you will give them who are needing out of love. If you love, you will not intentially hurt someone. But changing your mind is a process. The Holy Spirit is molding us, making us His Masterpiece. That is a word from Paul. We cannot make ourselves a Masterpiece. We cannot create us new, making us as a new species of human race. We cannot make us a new creation by ourselves. But God makes us perfect. We cannot see it now, but in God eyes we are now perfect, because He van see the end outcome, because He had it created. He himself will dwell in us witj all His Glory. And about eating and drinking: When Jesus came, he came to Israel who was under the law of Moses and this covenant from Mount Sinai. So they had to keep the law of Moses. And Jesus was under the Law, too. So he kept the law perfectly and put it onto a new level. But he did also something new. Because it was the beginning of a new Ära. A transitioning time. So even Jesus said to the pharisees, that what you eat makes you not unclean (what goes into your mouth), but what comes out of your mouth makes you unclean, what you speak of evil words, cursing words or seducing words, bevause they come out of an evil heart.

[@sourmilkministries9445]

Here is a copy of a post that I just posted on Torah Life Ministries. They (Torah Life Ministries) just put out a video response to this video ( _Are we saved by faith alone? By keeping the Law? A little of each?_ ): Shalom, brothers and sisters. I have watched many of Mr. Solberg's videos and they all contain fundamental errors, and this one is no different. First of all, Mr. Solberg paints with a very broad-brush. Based on my observations, most of the people in the "Hebrew Roots Movement" don't believe that they are saved by their works. Thus, Mr. Solberg, for the most part, is knocking down strawmen by citing the exception as the rule. Moreover, his entire theatrical presentation is based on the false premise that our best works are as "filthy rags" before God, which is simply not true! Simply stated, Isaiah 64 - when read in context - does not suppose to tell us that our good works (keeping Yah's righteous Laws) are as filthy rags. No, on the contrary, it's telling us that the people had fallen is such depravity (sin), that the best of their best was still, in fact, filth! Be that as it may, Mr. Solberg also fails to recognize that there are two kinds of righteousness! There is an imperfect righteousness that comes by the works of the Law (it's imperfect only because no one, less One, can keep it perfectly); and a Perfect Righteousness (unto Justification) that only comes by our complete faith in Yeshua, and the Grace that He merited for us on the Stake (Cross). Romans 10:5-6 NRSV Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that "the person who does these things will live by them." (6) But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) As or me (that is, as someone in the Hebrew Roots Movement)? I am saved 100% by my faith in Yeshua, and ZERO% by my works. However, as the Scriptures teach, if I have the former (faith in Yeshua), I will ultimately demonstrate that by the latter (obedience to Yah's perfect Laws). 1 John 2:3-6 NRSV Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. (4) Whoever says, "I have come to know him," but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; (5) but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: (6) whoever says, "I abide in him," ought to walk just as he walked. 1 John 3:7 NRSV Little children, let no one (like Mr. Solberg) deceive you. Everyone who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. Psalms 119:160 NRSV The sum of your word is truth; and every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever. Praise Yah!

Thanks for giving me the chance to respond, SourMilk! 1. You said, "Based on my observations, most of the people in the 'Hebrew Roots Movement' don't believe that they are saved by their works. Thus, Mr. Solberg, for the most part, is knocking down a strawman by citing the exception as the rule." In this video, I made no claims about whether or not "Torah-observant" Christians believe we are saved by our works. I didn't even mention it. There is no strawman here. I did say this: "For my 'Torah-observant' friends, if you want to keep those things, go for it! But don’t deceive yourself into thinking it adds anything to your righteousness in God’s eyes." 2. You said, "Simply stated, Isaiah 64 - when read in context - does not suppose to tell us that our good works (keeping Yah's righteous Laws) are as filthy rags. No, on the contrary, it's telling us that the people had fallen in such depravity (sin), that the best of their best was still, in fact, filth!" I respectfully disagree. Isaiah wrote: "Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved? All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away" (Isa 64:5-6). What kind of acts does he say "are like filthy rags"? Their sinful acts? No, their צִדְקֹתֵ֑י (righteous deeds). That's the startling thing about this verse! If you read the prayer of mercy that starts at 63:15, you would expect Isaiah to say "all these *_sinful_* things we've done are like filthy rags." But he says we've all sinned (Sounds like Rom. 3:10, 3:23!) so that even our righteous deeds are stained. And that is equally true today. Blessings, Rob

[@sourmilkministries9445]

​@@TheBiblicalRoots Pray tell, how can you say that you didn't even mention it, when it was directly implied in the very beginning of your video? You began by saying, and I quote: _"Here’s an analogy that might help us better understand how we are saved by faith and not works. And it’s also going to shed some light on the reason that most of our Hebrew Roots friends are completely missing the mark on this issue."_ Moreover, the fact of the matter is that I've repeatedly watched you represent those in the Hebrew Roots Movement as generally believing that they are either saved by their works, or are saved by a combination of their works and faith. When, in fact, I would contend that such people actually make up a minority within the movement, and thankfully so. Hence, why it was not only correct for me to say that you cite the exception as the rule, but that it was also a strawman. Now, as for Isaiah? The fact that you pointed out how the word being used there represents righteous deeds only served to demonstrate that you missed my point. Of course the word means that. But, even so, that doesn't mean that they were doing those things (righteous deeds)! In fact, the context of the surrounding verses demonstrate that they were doing the exact opposite. Simply read the very next verse! Isaiah 64:7 BBE And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins. And, not to mention, simply look at the verse itself! Isaiah 64:6 BBE For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away. Thus, there are your aforementioned (missing) "sins", Mr. Solberg. Yet, for some odd reason, you suppose that these same sinners were also performing righteous deeds. When, in fact, they were simply acknowledging that they had no "righteous deeds" (notice the quotes), whatsoever. Regardless, might I kindly suggest that you stop muddying the waters with the false notion that most people in the HRM reject salvation by faith alone, because that's simply not true. No, on the contrary, most people in the HRM have simply come to realize (via the Holy Spirt) that Yah's Laws are NOT "bondage", as they've been taught. But, rather, that Yah's Laws are in fact Holy, Just, and Good! And, moreover, that they are to be kept by His people as a sign of their faith. Again, there are two kinds of righteousness. One is a righteousness of following the Torah (which is the very thing that's supposed to be written in our minds and on our hearts), and the other is the Righteousness that only comes by our faith in Christ. And, unfortunately, Mr. Solberg, you've been conflating the two! Shalom

@@sourmilkministries9445 With all due, respect SourMilk, I think you're hearing what you want to hear, rather than what I actually said in this video. What you see as "directly implied" is not actually the case, as I previously demonstrated. Also, I have publicly acknowledged many times, including in my book _Torahism, _ that only a minority of "Torah keepers" claim that salvation comes by keeping the Torah. This is why in this video, I did not state or imply that they take the "salvation by faith plus works" position. This video was actually addressed to a much broader audience: those who hold to "works righteousness." Which is why I added the comment for my "Torah-observant" friends, "Don’t deceive yourself into thinking it adds anything to your righteousness in God’s eyes." As for your interpretation of Isaiah, I have to respectfully disagree. But what about the larger point I made on that issue? Do you deny that when compared to the perfect righteousness of Christ, the "righteous acts" of human beings are far inferior? And that they are not enough to merit salvation? RLS

[@sourmilkministries9445]

​@@TheBiblicalRootsShalom. I've already stated, and I quote: _"I am saved 100% by my faith in Yeshua, and ZERO% by my works."_ So then, I'm not sure why you would feel the need to ask me if the "righteous acts" of human beings were enough to merit salvation, when that clearly has no available place in my aforementioned: (Saved) "ZERO% by my works" position. And, as for your question comparing Christ's Righteousness to that of humans? Of course, as the names suggest, "imperfection" is almost always considered inferior to "perfection". But, even so, with all due respect to you, the question itself is flawed, as it demonstrates faulty reasoning. The issue at hand isn't actually with the "righteous acts" of humans, it's with their unrighteous acts. This is to say that a "righteous act" is always a "righteous act", regardless of who performs it. Now, of course, what sets Yeshua apart is that, unlike us, He never committed as much as a single act of unrighteousness. Thus, this is what enables Him to impute His perfect Righteousness to us (AKA: The GIFT of Righteousness). But, even so, contrary to your assertions (eisegesis) concerning Isaiah 64:6, that doesn't mean that our genuine acts of righteousness (which is NOT what Isaiah is referring to) are like "filthy rags" in the sight of God, even in direct comparison to Yeshua's perfect Righteousness. Because, as I've already mentioned, a righteous act is just that - a righteous act. And, mind you, Yah loves every single one of them! Psalms 45:7 NKJV You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

I am learning how I can be obedient to the parts of Torah that apply to me. I have never once felt or thought that anything I do affects the justification that was given to me without merit. It was entirely due to the sacrifice that God made through the death of the perfectly obedient Jesus. I think that Mr. Solberg has a vendetta against those of us who are trying to listen to the voice of God (shema) and to guard His word (shamar) and to be obedient (asah). I thank Him for doing what I could not do and love Him by being obedient to Him. That does not ensure my justification - much less attain it. I am a little dismayed at the disingenuousness or lack of understanding that he has about people who seek to be obedient to Torah.

[@rustynails8756]

I agree. Most of us whole Bible believers, Torah observant, whatever label is used, are the first to say we are saved by grace and the sacrifice of Jesus. I don't know any of us who believe we can perfectly follow the Lord's instructions (Torah means instruction not law). Yet we are somewhat persecuted by Church Christians for following God's instructions to the best of our ability. The average mainstream Christian will impress upon me that true faith is a matter of having the feels and loving God and my neighbor. Ok, but practically how does loving God and my neighbor work. If I had a husband who had the feels and continually said how much he loved me but cheated on me repeatedly, didn't speak respectfully to me and generally broke the vows of marriage it would tear our relationship apart. I need not only for him to feel love for me but to demonstrate it thru obedience of the vows we made. Yes he made those promises prior to our legal union at the wedding but I expect those vows to be kept after we are legally bound. It's fine to feel love but at some point we need to be doers of the word and not hearers only. Faith without works is pretty empty. In my case I am Torah observant because I love the Lord and wish to please Him. I have yet to figure out why that is so offensive to mainstream church Christians. I used to be one. My only conclusion is perhaps they feel a certain amount of conviction that makes them uncomfortable. If that is the case it is between them and God I am not intentionally trying to make them feel that conviction.

And therefore since there is one set of instructions for Israel and Gentile in Leviticus 24:22, I am compelled to guard that and obey as fitting. I do not simply dismiss a commandment because I don’t understand it or feel that times have changed. Deuteronomy 30:10-11 says that His commands are not too hard to do. We have the capability to do them perfectly - just not the inclination.

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

Faith is both mental belief and also action (faithfulness). The scriptures seem to support obeying God, by obeying the commands of his Messiah and Apostles, as a requirement for your personal covenant stability in the New Testament. People want to take different extremes. "God demands you be perfect", "once saved always saved" or "permanent loss of salvation". However in the New Testament though obedience is required mistakes are allowed, this is clear. The closest thing we have to a potential permanent loss of salvation/covenant status is in 1st John (sin unto death), Hebrews (6:4, 10:28), and 1st Corinthians 5 (incestous-adulterous man). Even in these passages it is debatable that they teach permanent loss but perhaps. They do seem to give indication that covenant status, and therefore salvation, *is* something to be maintained and kept efficacious through not just God, but our own faithfulness. None of us did aything to be offered the New Covenant, it's rewards (life!), and forgiveness for past sins, that was solely done by the foreplan and grace of God and of the grace of Jesus. However once in the covenant, I think I would be incredibly dishonest and unedifying if I said the New Testament teaches once saved always saved or the idea that your personal works don't matter. To whom this may help if it is indeed helpful. I encourage you to read your New Testaments, which you probably are, with no pre-suppositions, and see if you still come to the conclusion that your own works play no part in your covenant status. Words from our authoratative teacher the Apostle Paul, our instructor from Jesus - ‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:4‭-‬8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?...who will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who by *perseverance* in *doing good* seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God." Of course, there is also James 2.

[@billlee2194]

Very well stated.

[@billlee2194]

Looking back, I now see that I used to view the NT through either/or lens ie. If some verses seem to say I cannot lose my salvation, then I just rejected any that seemed to say I can lose my salvation. That is the danger I see with imputed righteousness. It pits some verses against others when the entire NT should be made one teaching which could be best described as faith working through love...or...be doers of the word and not hearers only.

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

@billlee2194 Yes, i think the trap many of us find in life is thinking in extremes, when there is a middle ground instead. God graciously pre-planned and enacted his plan for humanity to be given immortality, however, it is conditionally maintained and based on our faith/faithfulness to it's stipulations until judgement day. Mistakes are allowable but grace is not to be purposefully taken advantage of for God sees all and who can fool him? It will be taken into account in the judgement. I think this is what Paul is saying in the ending of 1st Corinthians 9. He says, he can convert and help maintain all the people he wants, but the only thing that will save him is his own faithfulness toward serving Jesus, aka having genuine faith to him and his instructions.

[@TheRealDVO]

Hey professor Solberg! God Bless! I hope you have a moment to answer a question. These videos are excellent and I'm concerned at how many times I have to refer back to your videos to defend myself against other Christians who like to keep a Saturday Sabbath and Jewish holidays and who claim I'm not living right. It's been frustrating but enlightening to have to deal with. So Recently I was convicted to do some more research on the Sabbath. I came to the understanding that Sabbath in Hebrew is translated to Saturday in English. I was concerned briefly until I remembered Im saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Then found our Sunday being the first day of the week was established back in 321AD. So the question is: do we have any biblical backing in this regard as to what the day actually is because our world's calendar has been manipulated? I wonder what our Hebrew Roots friends would say about this as well.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi, Daniel. There is a whole lot of confusion about the Sabbath out there, that's for sure. Let me try to add a little clarity if I can. The Hebrew root behind שַׁבָּת (Shabbat) means "to cease, to stop, or rest." And, of course the word Shabbat (Sabbath) came to be used as the name of the seventh day rest that God commanded Israel through Moses. The Hebrew word שַׁבָּת (Shabbat) is etymologically connected to the Hebrew word for seven, שֶׁ֫בַע (shevah), but it has nothing to do with the English word "Saturday." Our weekday names actually come from Roman mythology, and Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn. The Sabbath rest commanded in the Torah was never changed to Sunday. It was given to be celebrated on the seventh day of the week, and the Bible never changes that. So Sunday is not the "Christian Sabbath," as is often thought. For Christians, meeting on the first day of the week came about for two reasons. First, the Mosaic observance of the seventh day Sabbath ceased to be a requirement for Christians (Col. 2:16-17). It has never been prohibited, forbidden, or changed. It simply became _optional._ Christians are free in Christ to celebrate the seventh day Shabbat if they choose. Secondly, something far more important than Shabbat came along. God chose to resurrect Jesus on the first day of the week, Sunday. And that is the same day of the week on which Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to believers in Jerusalem to began His new church (Pentecost, see Acts 2). Because the first day of the week was blessed by God in these ways, it came to be referred to as "The Lords Day" (Rev. 1:10). And in the New Testament we see the disciples gathering, worshiping, and fellowshipping on the first day of the week (e.g., Acts 20:7, 1 Cor 16:2). And the early Christian writing called _The Didache_ confirms this was happening. So my position is that the moral principles behind the Mosaic Sabbath are still in effect-the necessity of rest and setting time aside for God both personally and communally, of remembering what He’s done in our lives, of remembering that He is the source of our salvation, that God is our ultimate provider and sustainer, that we are to tend to the needs of those around us, including those who work for us, foreigners, even animals. But they are no longer lived out in the context of a mandated seventh day rest. Sorry to ramble. Hope that helps a little! Blessings, Rob

[@billlee2194]

To add to what Rob shared, the Sabbath was always a day of rest but not a designated day of worship. Worship requires sacrifice which, under the Mosaic law, occurred everyday. The NT sacrifice is offered everyday but, as Rob eluded to, primarily on Sunday, the Day of the Lord.

Aren't we saved by grace? If we were saved by our faith wouldn't that give rise to boasting? Kinda like those who boast they are among the elect when it is God who does the electing. How can we make those determinations with our limited abilities? God reads the heart and judges accordingly but man cannot know a person's motives, thoughts, or standing. They cannot even know their own deceitfully wicked heart. And what about sanctification; being set apart for God our entire life? If a person is justified by the blood of Jesus but then continues to knowingly break God's law that puts them back under the law as a condemned sinner. If they continue to transgress God's law it would demonstrate that Christ, the Sinless One, is not dwelling in that person's life. We are to reckon ourselves dead to sin but alive unto righteousness (God). Godly love is righteousness which is shed abroad in our hearts through good works which glorify God before men. And that quality of love for God and others fulfills the law. God's law defines this love and cannot be broken apart to observe just those portions we consider important or convenient while rejecting those we consider to be insignificant, or least. And so James writes that if we break just one of God's laws we break them all. Human love can be partial in its application but Godly love is not.

Allowing me to clarify, Luis. In the video I said that through Jesus' life, suffering, death, and resurrection He achieved perfect righteousness. By that I meant that, while Jesus was always perfectly righteous and without sin, it wasn't until after His resurrection that His perfect righteousness could be credited to us. I certainly could have worded it more clearly! The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin. As Peter wrote, “For you know that it is not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed . . . but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Pet. 1:18-19). It was the sinless blood of Christ alone that was able to bring peace between God and mankind (Col. 1:20). And with this reconciliation, we can be “holy in [God’s] sight, without blemish and free from accusation” (Col. 1:22). Blessings, Rob

The translation you used when you read Philippians 2 makes no sense in the context of the passage. Paul begins with - Let this mind be in you. So we are not to consider equality with God a thing to be grasped? Really? It sounds like a warning - do not fly too close to the sun. Thanks for the tip. The King James uses English words that are true to the Greek. Who , being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Although this version seems to make no sense, at least it gives us a shot at what Paul was saying, an opportunity to dig deeper. Consider this: No matter how much you started with, Jesus started with more - he had everything. No matter how much you lost, Jesus lost more - he lost everything. Yet he did not consider himself the victim of a robbery. Have this mind in you - you are not a victim, no matter what your circumstances are. Another quick note: you neglect to make a distinction between works of the law of sin and death, works you do with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (apart from the Spirit), and works of the law of the Spirit of life, works done in you by the Holy Spirit. The great commandment is the ministry of death, and as great as it is, how much greater is the ministry of life, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. See 2 Corinthians 3. The works of the Spirit of Christ are the works of Christ, they are the righteousness of Christ. The works of the Spirit in us are credited to our account because they were done in us by the Spirit, not by us in the flesh. According to Matthew 12:37, it is the content of our account that will justify or condemn us, and what is in our account is the righteousness of the law of the Spirit of life fulfilled in us, or not.

Oh dear. The first verse quoted from Isaiah is already taken out of context to make it support a doctrine that is completely off the mark. Here is the verse in context: Isaiah 64:4-6 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. Clearly Isaiah is not speaking of good works of the kind Solberg was speaking. Isaiah speaks about a people that have committed iniquities, serious sins, so bad that God his his face from Israel. I’m ashamed for my fellow Christians who abuse Scriptures to make them support ideologies that are contrary to what it acutely says. Christians should really learn to read scripture in context and correctly. They don’t like it when New Testament quotes are taken out of context but don’t seem to care to constantly misquote Scriptures from the TeNaCh.

For over three hundred years most Christians regarded only the TeNaCh as inspired scripture.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

@@rightousliving I'd say it all depends on the resurrection of Jesus. If it's true, it means that God validated Him as a true prophet and everything He thought was true. And if everything He thought was true, then we need to interpret the Scriptures that pointed to him in light of this new revelation of God. By way of the analogy, did you ever see the movie The Sixth Sense? In it, a young boy is having scary visions of dead people and his mom hires a therapist help him. He tries all sorts of treatments, but the boy's visions persist. Near the end of the movie, we get the shocking revelation that the therapist (played by Bruce Willis) has been dead the entire time! It turns out that the boy can see dead people. This unexpected twist is what made the movie famous. If you re-watch the movie (like I did) you notice all kinds of clues that had been sitting in plain sight the whole time. You notice that no one other character in the movie ever interacts directly with the dead therapist; his only actual conversations are with the boy who can see him. And you realize, for example, that the therapist's wife wasn’t mad at him or being cold like we thought. She was acting like he didn’t exist because he was dead and she couldn’t see him. These clues were there for us all along, but it is not until the revelation later in the film that we fully understand what they mean. The same is true of the Bible. Once our eyes are opened to God’s new revelation through Yeshua, the Tanakh comes into sharper focus. We begin noticing clues left by the Author that were sitting in plain sight the whole time. We discover that Jesus is the promised Messiah who is referred to and foreshadowed and prophesied all throughout the Hebrew Bible! The Tanakh is not wrong and it is not to be thrown away. In fact, because of God’s later revelations, it means even more than we thought. And our new understanding makes it even more amazing. Shalom, Rob

Also, man isn’t justified by faith ALONE, but by works. If a man has faith without works, can that faith save him?

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi, Chris! It's important to interpret the verse you quoted in it's full context (James 2:14-26.) The point of this passage-which is expressed three times (in vv. 17, 20 and 26)-is not that works must be _added_ to faith but that genuine faith will _include_ works. That is the marker of a genuine faith. James is concerned about an attitude towards faith that sees it mainly as a verbal profession-such as the confession that "God is one" (v. 19). This is a faith that is "apart from" works (vv. 20, 26), and James views this faith as "dead" (vv. 17, 26), "useless" (v. 20); it does not have the power to save (v. 14) or to justify (v. 24). James assumes the necessity of faith and claims to have faith himself (v. 18). But he is stressing that *_real_* faith "has works" (vv. 14, 17), is "completed" by works (v. 22), is "active along with works" (v. 22). It's the kind of faith exhibited both by the father of faith, Abraham (vv. 21-23), and Rahab, the prostitute (v. 25). Blessings, Rob

Read Hebrews 10:14. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. In that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process. You started with Philippines 2 and ignored what was stated in that verse. What you did was belittle the Yeshua deity with your stupid ideology. Like I mentioned in your deconstruction videos, deconstruction should begin with theologians teaching.

You can't just be righteous. But being saved IS being made righteous. Be holy as your Father in heaven is holy. You can't be holy being unrighteous. Righteous and just are expressions of the same word with its root in innocence, blameless. Jesus said, Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse of ALL unrighteousness. Saved by grace through faith. We aren't saved because we repent...that's our work. Him forgiving and cleansing us of all unrighteousness are HIS work AKA grace. Jesus said you cannot produce fruit of yourself. He said that all good fruit is of him. Good trees don't make bad fruit and every bad fruit branch is thrown in the fire. Our sin is fruit or a manifestation of our brokenness in our root. If we are not cleansed and sealed into his root, we produce bad fruit so we know we must go to him to be forgiven and cleansed at the root level. How do we know that we know? We do his word! Because no one can do his word but him and his works, and if he's in us and we're truly in him we can't sin because he can't sin.

Like the late brother David Pawson pointed out the only time the phrase "faith alone" is used in the Bible in James 2:24 it actually says "NOT by faith alone". But then not obeying the Old Testament Torah, but the new/royal law ratified by Christ. Our faithfulness after accepting salvation, only possible through accepting what Jesus did and not by anything we could do, will determine where we would ultimately end up. Sadly there would be many BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS in hell who didn't endure to the end and did not continue believing in and did not carry on abiding in Christ. These OSAS teachers, like Rob Solberg, are the most dangerous because they say so many true things but then the mix in this OSAS poison. God have mercy.

Hi Theuns. It doesn't make a difference whether the English phrase "faith alone" is found in the Bible. Even the word "Bible" isn't found in the Bible! What matters is whether the _concept_ of "salvation by faith alone" is found there. And it absolutely is. In fact, in this passage in Ephesians, we not only learn that salvation is by faith alone, we're also are shown the proper role of "good works" in the life of a believer. "For by grace you have been *saved through faith.* And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, *not a result of works,* so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." (Eph 2:8-10) We are fully expected to walk in good works, but that is not where our salvation comes from. If it was, we would all go around bragging, "Look at me! I saved myself!" Good works are not the _source_ of our salvation, they are the _result_ of it. Blessings! Rob

But sin is much bigger than that! In fact, “sin was in the world _before_ the law was given” (Rom. 5:13, see Gen 4:7; 13:13; 18:20; 39:9). So if we merely define sin as a transgression of the Law of Moses, then Adam and Eve never sinned, because they did not break any of the Mosaic commands. Blessings, RLS

If Jesus is fully G-d as Christians claim, he would not need to “earn” righteousness. HaShem does not need to earn righteousness.

Allowing me to clarify, Contemplate. In the video I said that through Jesus' life, suffering, death, and resurrection He achieved perfect righteousness. By that I meant that He earned perfect righteousness *_for us._* While Jesus was always perfectly righteous and without sin, it wasn't until after His resurrection that His perfect righteousness could be credited to us. I certainly should have worded it more clearly! The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin. As Peter wrote, “For you know that it is not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed . . . but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Pet. 1:18-19). It was the sinless blood of Christ alone that was able to bring peace between God and mankind (Col. 1:20). And with this reconciliation, we can be “holy in [God’s] sight, without blemish and free from accusation” (Col. 1:22). Blessings RL

@@TheBiblicalRoots I appreciate the clarification. You’ve said in the past that the NT depends on the Hebrew Scripture. However, the following ideas are not found in the Hebrew Bible: “The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin.” “It was the sinless blood of Christ alone that was able to bring peace between God and mankind.” Keep in mind the fact that HaShem forgave sins throughout the Hebrew Bible for those who truly repented, even without sacrifice. Also, human sacrifice is an abomination to HaShem.

James 2:24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. You say righteous is filthy rags right??? Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. So how is righteousness is filthy rags but you are blessed if you thirst after righteousness. You can't have it both ways. We want salvation to be about faith. Yet we determine if someone is saved based on their works. Noah received favor for the Lord because Genesis 6:9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. So Noah righteousness was filthy rags??? Job was a righteous man 1:1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” Both Noah and Job are two examples how God rewarded both because of their righteous behavior. They were both considered not by just faith but of the righteous behavior.

@@dennismagee9555 I see hunger and thirst after Righteousness as another indicator that we must hunger after Jesus alone as our Righteousness ( eg see 1 Cor 1. 30) or else how can we ever be filled ? Will my own best efforts at Righteousness ever fill satisfy me? No....there's always failure, more, more I could should do. Nev

...never real, heart, assured peace that way. Only faith in Another One can bring me the filled heart. I keep getting away from this foundation but I seek to come back to the truths constantly. eh look up ' verses on our imputed Righteousness ' Once I'm refilled....I find I'm much more able to let the Spirit flow through my day and produce the good fruit HE works in me. 😊

@@juliew2374 SO how do you have righteousness in Jesus alone??? Explain that yet James 2:24 says You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
