Dead to the Law? (Romans 7:1-6) | What did Paul REALLY teach that we were released from?

[@Ateam143]

Praise God for this teaching! May the Lord continue to prosper this ministry

[@StrummaChick]

One of my favorite things the Holy Spirit has revealed to me is that YHVH (YHWH) gave the commandments in the wilderness. They weren’t in the promised land. To me that shows me that God our Father intended for His Law to be kept everywhere, not just in the promised land and not just by the Hebrews since it was given to a mixed multitude. We still need the blood of Yeshua but it doesn’t negate His Holy Father’s Laws 💚

[@Israel-of-Yah]

Great insight 🙌🏼

[@StrummaChick]

Thank you. You know another thing that even just sprang to mind. Sorry it's a little windy Thou shall not kill was a law from the beginning. Cain, your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground..and then Cain was cursed. Do not eat this you will surly die, "surely you will not die" the moment eve believes the serpent, she's put another god before her Creator who commands we have no other gods in the 1st commandment. The Sabbath is set aside and made Holy at creation. I could keep going but it's eye opening to realize all of these Laws were established long before Sinai. Abba had to remind people be about that they had been in slavery for so long. So so much like we are today but this modern time is more slavery of the mind. As in all the wicked trash that gets put into it. Even when I watch a Godly channel, I get ungodly commercials...hmm..

[@coreybray9834]

But, the question you raise here is that if God is truly a merciful being, why do we need the blood of Yeshua? As a judge, god should have the full authority to forgive a sinner who repents and returns to keeping his commandments as outlined in the mercy clause of Exodus 20:6. The conditions for receiving mercy there is not shedding of blood, but of loving God and keeping his commandments, the same condition Yeshua himself offered up in Matthew 9:13, offering mercy and not sacrifice, if a person would heed his call to repentance, an idea Yeshua told us to go learn what it means which points us to an earlier Old Testament verse in Hosea 6:6. Christians often argue that Yeshua was put to death for their sins as some sort of substitutionary payment, but this comes with the immoral notion that God, as a judge, would compromise himself to charge Yeshua falsely with man’s sins and then promote murdering the innocent to clear the debt, something Father Yah seems to utterly reject in Exodus 23:7 and elsewhere in his law. So, again, we are left asking, what is the point of Yeshua going to the cross to shed his blood. I mean, Father Yah is quite openly clear that human sacrifice will not work to clear us of the sin of our soul in Micah 6, because Micah asked him if that would work. Father Yah utterly rejected such a notion outright, arguing that the whole duty of man was something else entirely.

[@talkingSkunk]

thank you for this. The New covenant enables us to obey God for the first time in our lives.

[@logicaldude3611]

But there were plenty of people obeyed God before the New Covenant. David's sins were forgiven and he (or the people dedicating poems to his name) writes about it quite frequently in the Psalms. Job was described as "blameless and upright". Abraham was "righteous" because he believed God, without any covenant at all. There is more to this. There are good and righteous people who obey God without any covenant or direct knowledge of his complete work and mission in regards to the Mosaic Law and Jesus. The Bible talks about it frequently. So I think the nice, neat theological package that's been wrapped and tied in a bow is not necessarily correct.

[@JQMurrell]

​@@logicaldude3611 Nice input! I agree. I think the main difference is that just like in Hebrews 9. It states that Jesus came to forgive us for breaking the first Covenant, and to restore Covenant with God's people, this was only done by obtaining that eternal sacrifice to part us completely from our sin, as far as the East is from the West, eternally with him. However, King David also says that through sacrifices of the earthly and temporal sacrifices Which is what they appealed to in the Old Testament, that their sins were only covered temporarily. It was a shadow of what had yet to come through Christ, as a heavenly and eternal priest, a heavenly and eternal sacrifice, a heavenly and eternal redemption from that sin, that we had not yet been completely saved from until his coming. And yes, I love the examples in the scriptures of how there are those who did walk blamelessly in the Old Testament. Like Elizabeth and Zachariah. One of the other important parts of the New Covenant is that the Lord promises that we will have a helper, the Holy Spirit, to walk with him forever. And that he will never leave us and his work will continue in us until we are perfected. ➡️ Additionally, I like that this kind of reminds me of how there are two passovers. Well there are two major covenants which attempt to bring His chosen people Israel back to God, And into his presence forever. God doesn't want anyone to go missing and stray for long! And definitely not eternally if He can provide away for us to do it! Which he did! In that same way, the Passover represents The plan of salvation, and there were actually two Which we're celebrated. There is the first Passover which is originally asked to be kept... But then it is said that I think it is 14 days later, if there's anyone who misses the Passover celebration, that they can come and celebrate on a later day. And I Believe that this is a really beautiful way that God also says, even though you broke the old Covenant, Israel, where I tried to set you free from your sin and baptized you in the sea with Moses.... I'll give you a second chance, again! And so this time it is the final time, and it is with our beautiful and final high priest. He is the ultimate glory to God and he wants everyone living! And so even if Israel and all the rest of the world missed the first pass... The first Passover... This first Covenant which was broken, as he tried to fulfill our way to the promised land in His presence.. Then We still have a second... A second pass... A second chance... A second Covenant... Because we can always turn back to him who is a gracious and loving God, because his love is so good, eternal, and merciful.

For 10 years, I’ve been having friends, relatives and acquaintances, accuse me of needlessly cursing myself with a life of miserable loneliness, or wrongfully condemning them or those that they know and care for, to hell. God doesn’t want anyone to go to hell, that’s why he offers salvation and forgiveness, along with the gift of repentance. I don’t want anyone to go to hell that’s why it’s my responsibility to tell others the truth. The result of being saved is a change of heart… to no longer follow the authority of rebellious or wrongful desires that society may permit you, but to follow God’s authority through his Word.

Another great presentation, David. For me, reading this chapter, (and perhaps all of Paul's writings) in the CJB translation, helps introduce a much needed distinction and clarification, of what's actually being spoken. I find that this translation also takes into consideration more Jewish sensitivities than many other translations, and also helps to restore a more authentic vibe to what was recorded for us.

Amen! I just went through this study with some Christian friends trying to explain. I came to the same conclusion as your quote from kline. Paul repeatedly talks about the law of sin (equals death) and the law of the spirit (equals life). It's not literally Torah. I believe Paul was reiterating Deuteronomy 30 - we either choose life or death. With regards to the letter vs spirit, it reminds me of the new covenant as defined by Jeremiah and Ezekiel. The law is no longer on stones but it is being written on our minds and hearts which is born of the Spirit as Yeshua said to Nicodemus.

[@Dariusz777TheMessenger]

Shabbat Shalom!!

[@jrettetsohyt1]

I agree. Great vid! As usual, here is my meditation on the matter today: For people who think God‘s law was done away, Paul’s parable would continue like this: When the woman’s husband died then she was freed from from the law and thus she could then have sex with many men because, for her, the law had been done away. Hh but, of course, this logical extension of their interpretation makes no sense, indeed, It creates a logical contradiction within their own system of beliefs. Therefore their interpretation can not stand. As Paul says, she is then free to marry another man but once she marries that other man she is once again under the law of marriage. The law did not go anywhere, the law continued to be a structure that governed her life-For, even while unmarried, she was not free to have sex outside of marriage, and when she started just thinking about getting married she had to think carefully which individual man she would marry because the law would only let her marry one man. Thus the law of marriage (the law against adultery) never stopped applying to her; she never died to that law itself. What she died to was that particular application of the law (ie, a sub-law of the law) based on her situation of being married to that particular first man. She did not die to the sub-laws/applications/aspects/expressions of the law against sex with multiple men outside of marriage. Her relationship to the law changed; in a sense as her situation changed one kind of relationship to the law died and a new kind of relationship to the law began. Just like your kind of relationship to the law changes depending on whether you killed a man or did not, depending on whether you were a priest or a normal person, a man or a woman, a human or an ox. In one sense your relationship to the law changes but in another sense your relationship to the law (as the whole law) does not change. Covenant is not the same as law. A covenant is a legal structure that defines your relationship to a law. The covenant is your agreement to keep the law, but it is also a system designed to manage your relationship to the law. For example, defining terms of what happens when you break the law, and setting up an incentive system of blessings and cursings. There are many covenants made in the Bible. The Moses-mediated covenant set up a system of animal sacrifices to represent confession of, payment for, and repentance from, sin. It offered the promise of a long high quality life in the land. But, assuming you don’t interpret that to be an indirect reference to eternal life, that covenant did not offer the promise of eternal life. In Deuteronomy, Moses does talk about the law being in your heart and also the idea of circumcising your heart; assuming you don’t interpret that to refer to the promise of the Holy Spirit in everyone, then that covenant was only a list of requirements but not also the provision of the power to keep those requirements. That covenant (But not just that covenant; note also in the implicit covenant with Adam and Eve), It specified the penalty of sin as death. Assuming that just refers to the death we all experience in this life, it does not specify the final second death in the lake of fire. That covenant set up a priesthood designed to do all the things that practically needed to be done as part of managing the people’s relationship to the law (that is, their relationship to God, where keeping the law is a core part of how one loves God, as Deuteronomy, Jesus and John speak much of). Assuming that just refers to the Levitical priesthood, then it doesn’t refer to the priesthood of Jesus the High Priest. But, of course, the covenant that was mediated by Jesus Christ includes the four alternative aspects listed above. The Hebrew scriptures never prophesied about the doing a way of the law, but only prophesied about a change in our ability/willingness to keep that law. Jesus spoke the same. Paul spoke the same, but as Peter noted, people twist Paul’s words to their own destruction. ( Note: No one actually twists Paul to say that we earn salvation through the law, so putting that aside: Would one be destroyed if A. God really will judge us by the law, but people ‘twist’ Paul to say the law was done the way, or B. God really will judge us by the law and people ‘twist’ Paul to say that we should still keep the law (again, not to earn salvation), or C. God really will not judge us by the law and the people ‘twist’ Paul to say that the law was done away. Only option A will result in your destruction. So It isn’t logically possible that Peter is talking about the ideas as put in option B or C. Peter was warning against option A…are you or your church teaching option A? To be clear, teaching that the law was done away will lead to your destruction. ) Just as the woman exited one covenant through death and was then free to enter another covenant (Note: both covenant situations used the same law!), so also an Israelite could exit the Moses-mediated covenant through the death of Jesus Christ and would then be free to enter the Jesus-mediated covenant (which uses the same law, but the covenant differs in the four aspects listed above and thus classifies as a different covenant). (Note: in those 4 aspects above, there is a way to interpret scripture such that there are no differences and thus no ‘new’ covenant-except for the aspect of Jesus being our new High Priest. If you can show me how that can also fit into the Moses-mediated covenant, let me know! Otherwise, to be consistent one should interpret those four aspects of as real differences that imply different covenants.)

[@wydopnthrtl]

your marriage / covenant and law analogy is a good example.

[@jrettetsohyt1]

Thanks! Reviewing it, I see it I need to add one more note: Near the end where I say both covenants use utilize the same law, this is because the law is God’s law, it belongs to him and is associated primarily with God himself, not Israel. Same God? Same law.

[@Mike65809]

If Paul wrote Romans 7 showing a Christian's battle with sin, then the "law of the spirit of life in Christ" had NOT set him free from the "law of sin and death"! Rather, not being under the law but grace sets us free.

[@coreybray9834]

Who told Paul that the law is what ultimately determines if a person deserves life or death? In what righteous court does the law ever supercede the judges ruling in such matters? Paul clearly did not understand Yeshua’s reasoning in Matthew 12 if he leaps to such an unwarranted conclusion. Yeshua sites the fact that the priests profane the Sabbath and that David ate the shewbread which was unlawful for him to eat. Clearly, these are transgressions of the law the law condemns and both should die, right? Yet, Yeshua concludes instead that they are blameless. How dare he, that can’t be right, yet it is. That means the law is not the grand supreme authority condemning us or pardoning us or arguing that we are blameless when a transgression arises. It is the judge who condemns us of sin when push comes to shove. The law merely informes us and the court of what is right and wrong, but the judge has to decide if a transgression warrants condemnation and actually is the one who passes sentence. Because while it is unlawful to steal, a man stealing bread to feed his starving family isn’t necessarily worthy of condemnation. Nor is a man who works on the Sabbath to lift his ox out of a ditch necessarily breaking the Sabbath. Nor was the woman caught in the act of adultery worthy of Yeshua’s condemning her as he was writing the sins of her accusers in the ground instead with his finger. While the law cannot articulate in and of its own means a person’s circumstances or how dire their situation is, our heavenly Father can read the very heart of man and knows precisely what prompts and motivates us to transgress his law and precisely when that transgression is born of a depraved intent or not. So, if Paul were merely a victim of sin in him as he keeps complaining about in romans 7, then what was his cause to worry about that? How can he be guilty of sinning, if he is not in control over his own faculties to make free will choices to drive his own actions in the direction he desires? Father Yah will immediately discern that this is a matter which bears no relevance in a man’s being judged in that there is no evil intent to sin if you are a mere victim of a defective nature. It would be like someone tossing a brick through a window, and the homeowner decides to condemn the brick only to learn that the brick has no capacity to toss itself through the window. But, the far more dangerous reality is that anyone taking Romans 7 seriously, is opening the door for their 12-year old to take them for a ride. Because a smart kid reading Romans 7 will catch on to the scam being promoted here and argue that they would like to obey their parents, and in their mind they do, but their flesh prevents them. So, sorry, Mom and Dad, but sin in me, not me, is what is causing me to disobey you and I think I will keep using that excuse to get my way no matter what because you are so incredibly gullible. That’s the real game Paul is promoting in Romans 7, but if Paul were correct, then God must be a real tyrant in the Old Testament, right, not being honest that the reason he is complaining is not because Israel was disobedient intentionally, but because they themselves were victims of a defective nature forcing them into disobedience. If God knew that to be true, why not show them more compassion, acknowledging the seriousness of their defective situation? No, he instead rebukes and chastises them as if to say he is not buying any lame excuse of not having a choice, but is blaming them for their choices and actions to disobey him, because he knows perfectly well that he designed them with the capacity to make free will choices and carry them out.

So, if the law of the Spirit allows us to fulfill righteousness, and the law of the flesh leads to condemnation, then why did Father Yah get upset with Israel throughout the Old Testament for setting them up to fail? Unless he gives them full access to the law of the Spirit long before Yeshua went to the cross, then he should have known their inability to avoid being condemned by his law was by his own design, right? And hence, to constantly harp at them and blame them for failing when he knows the cause was he designed them to fail by not granting them access to the law of the Spirit back then would speak poorly of God as a judge, especially a judge who claims to be righteous, would it not??? Sorry, but I see Paul as leading us to this rather aweful conclusion which suggests to me that he doesn’t have a proper grasp of what is going on. The author of Hebrews 8 seems to get caught up in a similar mess, suggesting that the first covenant was faulty. But, would a loving compassionate, perfectly righteous God really give those who put their trust in him a faulty covenant just to screw them over? At some point I think Christians need to grow up and really grab this particular bull by the horns and figure out where the early church went wrong here, because this mess Paul and the author of Hebrews has created is not in any way a proper reflection of the teachings of Yeshua. Especially when the author of Hebrews starts suggesting that the Old Covenant portion of the law waxes old and is ready to vanish, contradicting openly Yeshua’s claim that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law till all is fulfilled in Matthew 5, the sign Yeshua giving for that event being when heaven and earth passes, a sign Yeshua comes back to John in Revelation 21:1 to confirm happens when the first heaven and first earth pass away at the time when God introduces the New Earth.

Romans 7:4 is the core of christian and messianic idolatry. These are the words of a man who implies that God the husband, has died so that we can be married to another husband jesus. To die means to cease to exist. Torah cannot cease to exist, be changed or done away with by any man or messiah because they do not have the authority to do so. Niether can they add to Gods word. Seeking after another name or another power as your source of strength or righteousness is idolatry. How do you "die to the law" when the keeping of it brings life and blessing and the favor of God and makes us righteous? Deu_6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before YHWH our God, as he hath commanded us. 2Sa_22:25 Therefore YHWH hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. Psa_15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. Psa_119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. Deu 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that YHWH he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deu 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which YHWH thy God giveth thee, for ever. Not once was any Israelite told to die to what God said was righteous in order to keep what God said was righteousnes if we keep it. How do you die to what YHWH said was truth, holy and perfect? Paul calls the law weak and says that no man can be justified by it. Paul says that we are no longer under Torah or schoolmaster if we put our faith in a messiah. He says it is not of faith as if faith was not part of our obedience to God. Paul has zero evidence that what he claims is based in Torah. His claims are intended to draw people away from keeping the commandments of God for faith in a man who suposedly becomes righteousness for us because he/ jesus perfected the law for us??? Throughout Pauls writtings he deminishes the law or Torah of YHWH and contrasts it with the works of a man as the "new way" to please God and to be "righteous" before Him. This is a false doctrine and this is idolatry that is drawing or enticing men away from YHWH alone as our righteousness. Jer 10:10 But YHWH is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. Jer 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. Jer 10:12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. Jer 10:13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Jer 10:14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

In all the Word, there is no other character I can think of that has caused as much strife, debate, confusion, discord and lawlessness as the apostle Paul (actually it is hasatan, but he uses Paul effectively).

He obviously knew what He was doing picking Paul but it seems he just created a huge barrier to faith resulting in obedience, which should be plain and obvious from scripture outside of Paul. I wonder if He wanted to see who would obey His Word in spite of Paul.

Good twist of the scrpture. The Galatians never die

[@coreybray9834]

Okay, but if we supposedly died to the laws ability to condemn us, we need to ask then what went so disasterously wrong? After the cross, all these Paul followers claiming we are under the law of the Spirit and no longer condemned by the law, they keep dying off too, as if to suggest their theological conclusion has resulted in utter disaster. So, obviously, if the law is not condemning us and causing us to die anymore, then what is still condemning us such that we continue to die off for the next couple of thousand years after the cross? If the law of the Spirit allows us to obey God to the end of fulfilling righteousness, then death for believers should have ceased at the cross. Because the righteous are not subject to condemnation, right? You are trying to save Paul from his contradictions, but you are creating an even bigger mess for Paul in the process here. If death and dying of believers had ended at the cross, your story would carry a lot more weight and provide believers with more confidence that your reasoning is correct, but that simply didn’t happen. This world is still quite steeped in sin, and believers die off just as easily as the wicked do, suggesting that something is very wrong with Paul’s analysis of the situation we are in.

[@simonskinner1450]

Paul has written a parable about 2 laws / statutes, it is about the baptismal promises, and by sin the untrue believer proves their lack of faith in Christ.

If a woman's husband dies, is she still bound to PART of her former relationship with him? No, the husband has passed away and she is now free to marry a different husband (Jesus Christ). The old relationship with the dead husband has ended. The Holy Spirit is our new law. It conforms us to Christ's image. The old covenant law was good, but in Christ, we conform to a higher moral law, not one containing only of ten moral points. It is not one written in stone but one written in our hearts.

[@phil3467]

This is definitely unbiblical and lordship theology. This goes against what Paul says in Galatians 5:16-18: “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” ‭‭ This is an eisegetic interpretation, and does not line up with other scriptures, especially those written by Paul. In Matthew 5:17 when Christ says ““Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” It’s important to a knowledge he was speaking to people under the old Covenant, people who still attempted to receive justification through their works of the Law. With the New Covenant, the Law has not been done away with, because there are still people who do not know Christ, not for believers to obey. Think, Christ says Himself the Law will not disappear until Heaven and Earth do, and believers will live in the New Heavens and New Earth, after the old have passed away, will we still be under the Law then? No! Then therefore let’s consider again what Paul says to Christian’s in Galatians 3:24-25: “So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.” 1 John 1:8: “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” Also to the point made about interpreting Romans 7:6’s “written code” (“gramma” in the Greek) as “the old life of slavery to sin,” that goes against Paul’s use of the same exact word in the same Book in Romans 2:27-29 where Paul says: The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code {gramma} and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code {gramma}. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”

Great video! HOWEVER, I believe that you missed a "knock-out blow" that would have "sealed the deal". I'm referring to Romans 7:23, which spells out what Paul is referring to in verse 6. Granted, you did make a couple of parenthetical references to verse 23, but you never actually cited it. Here are those two verses. Hopefully, you will readily see what I'm talking about: Romans 7:6 NRSV But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we are slaves not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit. Romans 7:23 NRSV but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. And, in case you didn't see it, here it is: 👉discharged & dead to that which held us CAPTIVE👈 (Verse 6) 👉another law...making me CAPTIVE to the law of sin👈 (Verse 23) So, as we can see, Paul specifically identifies the law that we've been discharged from - the one that held us "captive", and to which we have died - is "another law"! And, as we can also see, that other law was the law of sin (and death), and therefore we can know with all certainty that Paul was NOT referring to the perfect Laws of God (in verse 6), of which he delights!

If I understand correctly what you’re saying, cause it was a little confusing, none of Paul’s writings contradict our Messiah. If you are struggling with something that seems as though it does, you are not understanding it then. Peter says in 2 Peter 3:15-18 - “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, 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. 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; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” Some of his writings are hard to understand, but here Peter attests to the fact that he is a beloved brother and apostle.

We are not bound by the law for righteousness. We are made righteous thru Christ, unlike the Old Testament, which were made right by following the law, which most failed. Today we are righteous thru Christ not by obeying the law but we still keep some laws because of our love for righteousness. Keeping the food law does not lead to righteousness but each of the 10 commandments is righteous so we keep them. Keeping the sabbath does not It lead to righteousness but fellowship with the saints does, so we attend church and have fellowship. Two different things

This is pure confusion. Please stop seeking justification apart from Christ. If you're keeping the Law out of "obedience" to God, then you're returning to the flesh. It is not God's will to keep the Law of Moses. You're severing yourselves from Christ, forfeiting your salvation, and teaching others to do the same.

There is nothing confusing about this. No one is seeking salvation or justification solely by keeping the law apart from Christ. We are saved by Yah’s grace thru faith in Messiah and His shed blood alone. That being said, the Holy Spirit then empowers us to be obedient to Yah’s instructions. James 1:22 - “But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” HOW do we DO the word if it’s not by being obedient to his instructions?? Continue reading from there through v25 where it says, “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and CONTINUES IN IT, and is NOT a forgetful hearer but a doer of the WORK, this one will be blessed in what he does.” What is the law of liberty we are to continue in then if His law is abolished? Jeremiah 31:31-33: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” ‭‭ Last question, if His law is void, why then will Yah write it on our hearts and minds? I pray you’d give these questions serious and prayerful consideration.

@@MK4Hisglory Read Roman 7-8, Galatians, and 2 Corinthians 3. Neither Paul or I claim that the Law is void. The children of Israel will have to keep the Law with the aid of the New Covenant when Jesus returns. We are grafted into Israel through Christ, who is now free from the Law. Therefore, while the tribes of Israel are under the Mosaic and Levitical covenant, we have a higher priesthood that is above their Law. However, we are not under the Law, since through Jesus' death, we are free from it. Our Law is the Law of Christ, and it is of the Spirit, leading to life, through the baptism into Christ. The children of Israel were baptized into Moses, therefore had the Law of Moses, by the letter, leads to death. There is a clear juxtaposition between the two. If you keep the Law, you're seeking justification through the flesh and cutting yourself off from salvation. You cannot obey the Law of Moses and the Law of Christ together.
