What is Galatians 3 all about?

Wow! I don't know how many times I've read verses from Galatians without grasping the depth of Paul's argument. Your videos are a tremendous blessing to anyone who wants to understand the connection between the old and new covenants.

Rob, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a better Christian exposition of Galatians 3. I must commend you on your presentation…excellent, very well polished…and you brought in some very good points. I wish I were such a good orator. But, as usual, Columbo style…I have a few observations / questions. Out of the starting gate, you speak of the “works of the law of Moses”. Very slick introducing the Law as the Works of the Law. But as you are probably well aware by now, we make a very important distinction between the two, coming up. Then you say Hebrew Roots are the modern-day version of the Judaizers. Based on the distinctions we place between Law and Works of the Law; I have to say nada. The Judaizers were trying to bring the new, gentile believers under the subjection of those in authority in Jerusalem by placing the commandments of men / traditions of the fathers or elders / Oral Law / Mishnah above Torah (Mt 15, coming up). According to the “(Re)New(ed) Covenant”, God promises to write His Commandments (literally Torah in Jer 31:33) on our hearts when we believe and trust in the atonement provided by Messiah Yeshua. The Torah goes on to say that the children of Israel will do these things “forever”, “throughout your generations”, “in perpetuity”. I don’t see how the Law has come to an end for Israel and those grafted into Israel. And I say grafted into Israel because the (Re)New(ed) Covenant is specifically with the two kingdoms, Israel and Judah, or the combined nation of Israel. It doesn’t say Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, or even Christian…though we know that faith in the atoning work of Messiah Yeshua is the basic requirement of the (Re)New(ed) Covenant. So, let’s look at the distinction we draw between Law versus Works of the Law starting in Galatians, chapter one: 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is NOT AFTER MAN (NOT AFTER THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN). 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I TAUGHT it, but BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. [ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCAS AND AT MT SINAI (Gal 1:17, 4:25, 2 Cor 12:1-6)] 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the JEWS’ RELIGION, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the JEWS’ RELIGION above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the TRADITIONS OF MY FATHERS. (Gal. 1:11-14) [Paul was a star student under Gamaliel…Acts 22:3] The problem with Paul’s education in accordance with the Law of the Father’s is that this violates Torah by adding to or diminishing from God’s Commandments (Dt 4:2,12:32, Prov 30:5,6). This is why Paul refers to it as the JEWS’ RELIGION…this is a corruption of Torah. Those pursuing the Law of the Fathers were going about to establish THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS. 25 And it shall be OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, if we observe to DO ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us. (Dt 6:25) 13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, and commit INIQUITY (LXX, anomia, lawlessness), all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for HIS INIQUITY (LXX, adikia, unrighteousness) that he hath committed, he shall die for it. (Ez 33:13) 3 For they being ignorant of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (Rom 10:3) 1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the TRADITION OF THE ELDERS? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the COMMANDMENT OF GOD by your TRADITION? (Mt 15:1-3) 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But IN VAIN THEY DO WORSHIP ME, teaching for doctrines the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. (Mt 15:1-3,7-9) The dichotomy between works of the law or just “works” versus legitimate Law / Torah or “good works” is much more pervasive throughout the NT than most believers realize. Paul’s contrasting of these two doctrines is confused for anomialism. Paul is NOT coming against pursuing Torah. Rather, he is resisting the imposition of what would later be called Oral Law / Mishnah / Talmud which undergirds present day Judaism. Shalom

Great teaching. Many years ago, Paul's epistle to the Galatians kept me from following one of Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God offshoots.

[@Honderrez209]

I'm not sure how I didn't come across your Bible teachings when the HRM sneaked in and swept up half of my family.. But the videos are still a blessing and very informative with points I can have with them. I also came to the conclusion that it's ok if they want to keep the Israelites traditions as long as they don't make it into a salvation requirement, which they do unfortunately. But what really saddens me is they claim to not know if they are saved 😢 just like all other movements/cults. God is not a God of confusion but of peace. Thanks again and keep fighting the good fight. Shalom!

Galatians chapter 3 and 4 were so important for me to transition out of HR. I asked myself an important question: if Paul believed like me would he speaking in this manner? Would a HR write a letter like Galatians ? Would a HR say that the covenant of Sinai is slavery, like Paul said in Galatians 4?

[@OneSparrow-76]

There is a dark thing weaving within this movement, recently…if the scripture doesn’t match their theology (in English translations) they blanket statement, “you can’t trust the translators, the translation is wrong..” and then they throw in their own interpretation of what the author was “trying to say” from a Strongs concordance. So if all else fails, slander scripture, and fill in your own interpretation to make it fit you. This is especially dangerous when you are speaking to children who don’t have a solid faith and grasp on scripture. I’ve seen this done over and over in the last few months. What it says to me; the Bible is untrustworthy in whole, if even one verse has been interpreted wrong…for unbelievers, fuel for the “I told you the Bible can’t be trusted!” - dangerous

[@serdlc64]

Yes. There are things wrong in every translation. Catholics messed with things adding and taking stuff out. It isn’t tampered with so badly that we can have truth. Do you believe she ate the Passover with His disciples? Well He didn’t. Do a study and read. Whoever translated it was wrong and probably on purpose. He was already in the grave and didn’t eat Passover. Read the first gospels then read John’s right account. Tell me then that it’s perfect

This is more of a note to the other commentators on this video. I watched this video when it first came out. Just watched it again this afternoon. I wanted to make a comment that I have been helped very much by Professor Solberg over the past year or two. He’s been kind enough to respond to me when I reach out. And my reason for saying this is that I was involved with a local Torohist group here in upstate South Carolina. They were some very nice people in the group, but after I found out what the roots of this movement are, I had to make a departure from it. It’s very sad to know that it’s more than just history for some of these people, they really feel like they are under the law of Moses, and that everybody should be if you believe in Jesus. But professor Solberg has helped me so much and so I just wanted to put in a shout out for somebody that I consider to be my friend!

I did a search on my Bible app with the words "Justified by Law" and hit the jackpot. Over & over again, the New Testament clearly states that no one shall be justified by the works of the law.

We are all sinners in need of Salvation by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Available to those who Abide in Faith, Hope & Love.

It occurs to me that Gentiles trying to keep the Law of Moses would be an abomination in the sight of God. Does the Hebrew Roots movement think it's OK to throw such a stumbling block in the path of Christian believers? 'Woe to that world for temptations to sin'.

[@luiscajigas5567]

I understand what Olam means in Hebrew. So, in the Hebrew for you, Olam is something temporal, but in the Greek, Eternal is without end. Is that what you want me to accept? Does God allow the use of Greek to get a better grasp of the Hebrew language? It doesn't matter if it's a temporal horizon; it is eternal until you die. Yes or No? So, when God puts His decree in your heart, as the Tanakh states, is it still there or has it been removed? and if it's still there then why are you teaching is permissible but not required?

So if the law was teaching as a tutor, wouldn't its instructions still apply? Although it is by the Spirit and not because of a Letter written on stone but the instructions of the Law are written on the heart? (not for justification but from a new nature) I think of a person leaning to cook will follow a written recipe. At some point having learned e recipe by heart (Jesus) you no longer need to follow a recipe but you are still using the same method and ingredients. That seems like we still look to the whole bible to see what is good to do, how to live, and what defines sin. Any thoughts would be helpful.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi, Abby! Yes, the law (just like a school tutor) did not teach wrong things. But notice the full passage in which that word is used: "So then, the law was our guardian/tutor *until* Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, *we are no longer under a guardian/tutor,* for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith" (Gal 3:24-26). We're going to be spending some time on this passage in part 4 of our Galatians Bible study, which comes out this Thursday, 3/30. Blessings, Rob

And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

[@pipinfresh]

Hi, Rob. I have a question. If the law was a tutor or guardian until Christ came why would that mean we no longer need to follow the instructions of the guardian? I think of it like a driving instructor, once we get our licence and are no longer under the teaching of the driving instructor that doesn't mean we then stop obeying the teachings of the driving instructor, otherwise we would be breaking the laws of the road. Surely a tutor is preparing their students for adulthood that they follow and obey the teachings they were raised with, once they "graduate" and enter into the world as a responsible adult? The things we learn in childhood are what prepare us for life, we don't then abandon those teachings once we are no longer under their guidance.

[@simplydanny]

I know this is for Rob but I do see this common objection within the HR movement. The way the Greek word was used in ancient world might shed some light how exactly the “law” was a tutor. The Greek word here is paidagogos, here is a short description of what this word meant within the context of the ancient world “Among the Greeks and the Romans the name was applied to trustworthy slaves who were charged with the duty of supervising the life and morals of boys belonging to the better class. The boys were not allowed so much as to step out of the house without them before arriving at the age of manhood.” It wasn’t used as someone who was a teacher but more of a supervisor. Are there things that carried over from the young man’s time with the tutor? Sure, but the point was that at manhood, he would have freedom. Just to give you more historical context this slave would walk the young boy to school but once he arrived to school under the care of the teacher he’s responsibility ended there. I think context will show how the law was a tutor and that it wasn’t used in every sense of the word as maybe we would use it today.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hey, Pip. It's important to remember that the Law of Moses is not everything God commanded. The "laws" of God that run the universe and define right and wrong have been true from the very beginning, and will never change. Murder and greed and wickedness and sin were wrong long before the Law of Moses, and they will always be wrong. Because those things are contrary to the very nature of God. The Law of Moses, on the other hand, was given at a specific time to specific people for a specific purpose. Much of what was given at Mount Sinai included God's universal "laws," of course. Because they never change! But much of the Law of Moses was given to turn a ragtag group of recent slaves into a nation set apart for God: Israel. And embedded in those laws of ceremony, ritual, distinction, and civil order were shadows that pointed to Christ. And it's _those_ laws that have been fulfilled by Christ and are no longer binding under the New Covenant. Remember that not every command that God has given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands were only given for certain people or certain times. And we're each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. Shalom, Rob

[@henryhodgens4312]

V. Rob, Continuing with the next four verses: [15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. (Gal 3:15)] Even in human affairs, once an agreement has been ratified, it cannot be amended or rescinded. How much more, then, on a heavenly scale. We’ll shortly encounter just such an agreement…stay tuned. [16 Now to Abraham and his SEED were the PROMISES made. He saith not, And to SEEDS, as of many; but as of ONE, And to thy SEED, which is Christ. (Gal 3:16)] This is probably one of the most mysterious / convoluted verses in Scripture. How does Paul derive this interpretation from a basis in the OT? The term SEED, though singular…like progeny…is taken to mean “many”…and that is the general way it is used throughout the OT. For example: 4 And I WILL MAKE THY SEED (plurality) TO MULTIPLY AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN, and will give unto thy SEED (plurality) all these countries; and in thy SEED (plurality) shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; (Gen 26:4) Obviously, there must be some reference of a PROMISE to a SINGULAR SEED somewhere in the OT since Messiah, Yeshua states: 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. (John 8:56) Indeed, there’s the Scripture that Messiah Yeshua tests the Scribes and Pharisees with: 1 The Lord (God) said unto my Lord (Yeshua), Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 4 The Lord (God) hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou (Yeshua) art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (Ps 110:1,4) So, we have a PROMISE to the SEED (plural) AND the SEED (singular). But the PROMISE to the singular SEED is a progressive one culminating with passages like: 5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King (SEED, singular) shall reign and prosper, and shall EXECUTE JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE IN THE EARTH [PROMISE]. 6 In his (SEED, singular) days JUDAH (SEED, plural) SHALL BE SAVED, and ISRAEL (SEED, plural) SHALL DWELL SAFELY [PROMISE]: and this is his name whereby he (SEED, singular) shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the SEED (plural) of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven THEM; and THEY shall dwell in THEIR own land. (Jer 23:5-8) It is THROUGH the singular SEED (Messiah Yeshua) that the house of Israel (plural SEED) will be saved…and this brings us back to the (Re)New(ed) Covenant which specifically states the recipient to be Israel (SEED, plural) …and the requirement to be grafted into Israel (Jew and gentile alike) based on faith in and faithfulness to God / Messiah Yeshua. And, this is the rationale Paul is using to declare a singular SEED…but not just promises TO a singular seed…rather promises THROUGH a singular seed. This is important in verses to come. [17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. (Gal 3:17)] Once ratified, the law cannot annul the promise. In fact, the law works with the promise as we shall see, coming up. [18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. (Gal 3:18)] If the inheritance were solely by the Law, no one would receive it since all have sinned. But the PROMISE THROUGH the SINGULAR SEED, Messiah Yeshua, provides the path for the inheritance by His atonement. But the PROMISE does not abrogate the Law. So, the PROMISE of the “inheritance” is not through any other than Isaac…it’s NOT with ALL of Abraham’s SEED (Ishmael and Abraham’s offspring with Keturah)…it’s already been restricted to a narrow portion of Abraham’s SEED. Shalom

[@tactup23]

12:49 Paul is referring to the offspring of the original members of the covenant. For why would the children be punished for their parents and grandparents that transgressed? For example after 75 years in captivity most if if not all of the transgressors are dead. For God will offer a new contract with the same laws to the offspring.

[@EM-vb8gx]

Honest question…. So can we still sin if we believe in Jesus?

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Yes. God gives us His Spirit, but He does not make us instantly sinless. And this tells us something incredible about the living God! He prioritizes relationship over righteousness. Both matter, of course. But it is more important to God that we learn to depend on Him and walk with Him than to be immediately sinless. The Spirit-led process of sanctification is about becoming more Christlike and less sinful throughout our lives. It reveals that God isn’t a cosmic policeman obsessed with us obeying all the rules. He’s a loving, gracious Father who considers the gift and blessing of knowing Him more important than making us instantly sin-free. Shalom, RLS

[@henryhodgens4312]

II. Rob, I don’t have time to hit all the points you make here but will try to cover the major issues. First, as I commented on your previous video about the tutor error of Galatians 3: [1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, THAT YE SHOULD NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (Gal 3:1 KJV)] How can you obey a fact? You can’t! You can believe a fact…Messiah Yeshua’s atonement for sin by His death, burial, and resurrection…but you can’t obey a fact. So, what is THE TRUTH that we should OBEY IT? 142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and THY LAW IS THE TRUTH. (Ps 119:142) Paul completes the contrast between Torah pursuance and “works of the law” in verse 2 by pointing out that that Galatians received the Spirit by believing in Messiah Yeshua and not by following the “commandments of men”. [2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the HEARING OF FAITH? (Gal 3:2)] Remember that, according to the (Re)New(ed) Covenant, God promises to write His Commandments (Jer 31:33, Torah) on our hearts when we believe in Messiah Yeshua. How does He do this? ...by His Spirit: 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. (2 Cor 3:3) Paul repeats this contrast for emphasis in verse 3: [3 Are ye so foolish? having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT, are ye now MADE PERFECT BY THE FLESH? (Gal 3:3)] This is not just believing…this is DOING: 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are CONTRARY the one to the other: so that ye cannot DO the things that ye would. (Gal 5:17) Furthermore, 12 Wherefore the LAW is HOLY, and the COMMANDMENT HOLY, and just, and good. 14 For we know that the LAW IS SPIRITUAL: but I am carnal, sold under sin. (Rom 7:12, 14) So, “having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT” would imply an association with if not total pursuance of the LAW. [4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? IF IT BE YET IN VAIN. (Gal 3:4)] [4 If you are following the WORKS OF THE LAW rather than the Law, perhaps your profession of faith was in vain to begin with. (Gal 3:4 REWRITE)] The contrast of verse 3 is repeated in verse 5: [5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the HEARING OF FAITH? (Gal 3:5 KJV)] Perhaps a review of a passage from chapter 2 would be insightful: 16 Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED by the WORKS OF THE LAW, but by the faith OF Jesus Christ, even we have believed IN Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED by the faith OF Christ, and NOT by the WORKS OF THE LAW: for by the WORKS OF THE LAW shall NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED. (Gal 2:16) But remember that Paul states that doers of the LAW…ARE…justified in Romans 2. 13 (For not the hearers of the LAW are just before God, but the DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. (Rom 2:13) So, WORKS OF THE LAW is NOT the same as the LAW. We’ll see this again shortly. faith OF Jesus Christ = Yeshua’s FIDELITY / FAITHFULNESS unto death to God’s will … provides for our atonement. we have believed IN (eis / INTO…not en / in) Jesus Christ = To become like Him…do what He did…follow His example…He kept the Torah perfectly to be the perfect Lamb of God. See Gal 3:27, coming up. Verses 6 - 9 focus on the FAITH of Abraham. [6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. (Gal 3:6)] So, what did Abraham “believe” that was counted as righteousness? What did his faith look like? 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham OBEYED my VOICE, and KEPT my CHARGE, my COMMANDMENTS, my STATUTES, and my LAWS. (Gen 26:4,5) This is “first mention” of these terms in Scripture and they are not seen again until Mt Sinai. Why? Obviously, Scripture is emphasizing that Abraham was pursuing Torah that God presented him orally…the only valid case for an Oral Law…and Abraham was faithful to carry out God’s CHARGE, COMMANDMENTS, STATUTES, and LAWS. It’s interesting that the definition of both Greek and Hebrew words for faith include the term FIDELITY: Faith, (G4102) pistis; credence, conviction, reliance, assurance, belief, believe, faith, FIDELITY. Faith, (H530) emunah; lit. firmness, fig. security, mor. FIDELITY. What does FIDELITY mean? FIDELITY: Faithful devotion to duty or to one's obligations or vows; loyalty; faithfulness [Webster’s New World Dictionary]. FIDELITY: Faithfulness to obligations, duties, or observances [American Heritage Dictionary]. So, it’s obvious…to me anyway…that Abraham’s faith included more than just giving mental ascent to the fact of God’s existence…believing IN God. He followed through by carrying out God’s “instructions” …BELIEVING God. [7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. (Gal 3:7)] Those then who are similarly “faithful” irrespective of their genealogy are “grafted into” Israel. 14 And thy SEED shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be BLESSED (v’nivrechu, grafted in). (Gen 28:14) “According to the Ba’alei Tosafot (critical and analytical explanatory additions to Jewish Talmudic literature), the Hebrew word nivrechu is a derivative of the Hebrew infinitive, mavrich, which means ‘grafting-in’.” [Messiah, Vol 2, p. 171; Avi Ben Mordechai]. [8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham. (Gal 3:8,9)] Verse 9 then, underscores the connection between FAITH and FAITHFULNESS. Shalom

Another Question, as The LORD was speaking To Issac in ....Gen 26:5 because Avraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my mitzvot, my statutes, and my laws." What charge, mitzvot, statues , and Law Did Abraham keep, if The Law which Yah told Moses to write Down was written down?

[@simplydanny]

This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many; but, referring to one, “And to your offspring,” which is Christ. Galatians 3:16-17

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi Nancy, What a great question! First, I'd say it's important to remember that the Law of Moses is not everything God commanded. The "laws" of God that run the universe and define right and wrong have been true from the very beginning, and will never change. Murder and greed and wickedness and sin were wrong long before the Law of Moses, and they will always be wrong. Because those things are contrary to the very nature of God. But as far as Gen 26:5, there are a couple schools of thought. Some suggest that there is some anachronism happening here, because Moses would've written the book of Genesis after the Law of Moses was given at Sinai. So he may have inadvertently included some post-Sinai assumptions. Others read Genesis 26 as referring to the covenant that God made with Abraham in Genesis 15. They suggest that the covenantal relationship with Abraham was, at least in some respect, conditioned on Abraham’s obedience, specifically his keeping the sign of the covenant (circumcision) and his obedience to the command to sacrifice Isaac (Gen 22). Shalom, Rob

Well, you sure are a theologian, do you actually ask God to help you. Are you born again? Are you filled with the Ruach Ha Kodesh? That's important! . Have you ever witnessed a for Real miracle? I had Two uncle's raised from Dead ! And some more signs and wonders of The Lord I have witnessed in My time. Because, stuff like that...makes you search way deeper than a theological school, with Traditions of Men and doctrines of Devil's that's been taught since Eusibius and inventing Jesus ministry of 3 1/2 years...when it was only 70 weeks. However, I believe it would be wise for you to connect with Ken Johnson....and definitely research the dead sea scrolls, and the Testaments of the Patriarchs. And then Make sure you're born again... because Ezekiel wrote that when you are born again Yahovah will cause you also to obey His statues and Judgments, and do them. Then, seek the filling and baptism by Yeshua in the Holy Ghost....once there just ask...is my Idea the truth....or is your word the truth God? Maybe study the apostolic father's.....not the Greek church Fathers...they are ministers of the devil's Kingdom.

III. Rob, Now we come to a pair of very pivotal verses…Galatians 3:10,11. [10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Gal 3:10)] Granted, Paul’s expression of his rationale here is not straight forward to our Western / English minds, so let’s break this verse up into three parts: [10 For as many as are of the WORKS OF THE LAW are under the curse: (Gal 3:10a) So, you are cursed if you are doing the WORKS OF THE LAW. [10 …for it is WRITTEN, (Gal 3:10b)] As OPPOSED to the “oral” tradition of the fathers or elders / commandments of men; i.e., ORAL LAW. [10 …Cursed is every one that continueth NOT in all things which are WRITTEN in the BOOK OF THE LAW to do them. (Gal 3:10c)] And, you are also cursed if you are NOT doing everything WRITTEN in the BOOK OF THE LAW. So, if WORKS OF THE LAW and BOOK OF THE LAW are referring to the same thing, you are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”. Therefore, WORKS OF THE LAW is something different than BOOK OF THE LAW. Notice that Paul emphasizes the distinction between the two by including the term WRITTEN, twice, which alludes to: 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS and HIS STATUTES which are WRITTEN in this BOOK OF THE LAW, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. (Dt 30:9,10) …and… 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the LAW, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. 8 This BOOK OF THE LAW shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is WRITTEN therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Josh 1:7,8) Obviously then, BOOK OF THE LAW refers to the Torah, and you are cursed if you are…NOT… doing everything WRITTEN in the BOOK OF THE LAW (Torah). In the same negative sense, you are also cursed if you…ARE…DOING the WORKS OF THE LAW. Both phrases form a dichotomy of expression contrasting WORKS OF THE LAW versus BOOK OF THE LAW…or simply, LAW. In Galatians 3:11, we hit an apparent snag to the aforementioned understanding of 3:10. So, let’s study through this verse in similar fashion: [11 But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, the JUST shall live by FAITH. (Gal 3:11)] What about the Greek terms for JUSTIFIED, JUST, and FAITH? Keep the following definitions in mind when we get to the Hebrew: G1344 dikaioo, dik-ah-yo-o, from G1342; to render (i.e., show or regard as) just or innocent; free, JUSTIFY, be righteous. G1342 dikaios, dik-ah-yos, from G1349; equitable (in character or act), by impl. innocent, holy; JUST, meet, right (-eous). G4102 pistis; from G3982; persuasion, i.e. credence; mor. Conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstr. Constancy in such profession; by extens. The system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: -- assurance, belief, believe, FAITH, FIDELITY. But we know that DOERS of the LAW…ARE…JUSTIFIED: 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. (Rom 2:13) But there’s a qualifying phrase in Galatians 3:11. 11 But that no man is justified by the law IN THE SIGHT OF GOD… …that is, TO GOD’S HIGH STANDARD. This is probably coming from: 1 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for IN THY SIGHT SHALL NO MAN LIVING BE JUSTIFIED. (Ps 143:1,2) No one keeps God’s Commandments to His high standard…but One (Yeshua)…for “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” And what is sin? 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4) Specifically note that the phrase…THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH…is a quote from the OT: 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH. (Hab 2:4) In the OT, where pursuit of Torah was inarguably incumbent on the believers, they were said to live by their FAITH. So, why is Galatians 3:11 any different? In fact, the Hebrew term for JUST in Habakkuk 2:4 includes, as a synonym, the term, LAWFUL. H6662 tsaddiyq, tsad-deek from H6663; just: --just, LAWFUL, righteous (man). So, Paul is simply quoting OT Scripture that backs up his point in Galatians 3:10 Believing, as we do, that the NT was originally written in Hebrew / Aramaic, then translated to Greek, we can now see that the Greek translation misses the intent of the verse by omitting the LAWFUL attribute. Similarly, as we noted previously, the term FAITH in Hebrew is related to FAITHFULNESS …that is, following through by doing those things that please God…keeping His Commandments. H530 emunah; faith: -- lit. firmness, fig. security, mor. FIDELITY (faithfulness) More to come. Shalom

[@henryhodgens4312]

VI. Rob, Picking up with Galatians 3:19 - [19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the SEED should come to whom the PROMISE was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (Gal 3:19)] 19 (In light of the PROMISE) What then is the purpose of the law? It was given to define and constrain sin until the Messiah (Yeshua) would come, THROUGH whom the PROMISE was to be realized; and it was proclaimed by messengers (prophets) at the direction of THE mediator (Messiah / God). (Gal 3:19 Rewrite) First, since we believe the NT was originally written in Hebrew / Aramaic, it’s important to look at Scripture, Hebraically. Notice that the Hebrew (also Greek) for angel also means PROPHET. Moses was a MESSENGER and PROPHET…likewise with the other prophets of the OT. G32 aggelos, angelos; from aggelo (to bring tidings); a MESSENGER; esp. an angel; by impl. a pastor: --angel, MESSENGER. H4397 malak; from an unused root meaning to dispatch as a deputy; a messenger; spec. of God, i.e. an angel (also a PROPHET, priest, or teacher): -- ambassador, angel, king, messenger. So, let’s look further into the relationship between the PROMISE and the LAW. 6 O ye SEED (plurality) of Abraham his servant, ye CHILDREN OF JACOB (plurality) his CHOSEN. (Ps 105:6) [SEED = CHILDREN OF JACOB / CHOSEN, by parallelism] 7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. (Ps 105:7) 8 He hath remembered his COVENANT FOR EVER, the WORD which he COMMANDED to a THOUSAND GENERATIONS. (Ps 105:8) [COVENANT FOR EVER = WORD COMMANDED to a THOUSAND GENERATIONS, by parallelism.] 9 Which COVENANT he made with Abraham, and his OATH (PROMISE) unto Isaac; (Ps 105:9) [COVENANT with Abraham = OATH (PROMISE) unto Isaac, by parallelism] 10 And confirmed the SAME unto Jacob FOR A LAW, and to ISRAEL for an EVERLASTING COVENANT. (Ps 105:10) [SAME (COVENANT / OATH (PROMISE)) unto Jacob FOR A LAW = SAME (COVENANT / OATH (PROMISE)) to ISRAEL for an EVERLASTING COVENANT, by parallelism] So, what began as a PROMISE to Abraham was manifested as a COVENANT with ISRAEL, governed by the LAW. The COVENANT is with ISRAEL and the LAW is a PLACEHOLDER that governs until Messiah Yeshua takes His place as King and High Priest. Those keeping the Law at His return are showing faithfulness to His INSTRUCTION / Torah…and will be confirmed in His Kingdom to come. If the Law is a PLACEHOLDER, do you really think that Messiah Yeshua is going to come and totally change the rules??? This is where the “schoolmaster” of verses 23 through 25 come into play…coming up. But first, how is Messiah Yeshua the MEDIATOR? Most believers would say the MEDIATOR is Moses. But the real MEDIATOR is God as Messiah Yeshua as evidenced by the PROMISE to Abraham in Genesis 15 and the next verse in Galatians 3 (3:20). But first, Genesis 15: 1 After these things the WORD OF THE LORD (Yeshua) came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I AM THY SHIELD (for sin), and THY EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD (for faithfulness). (Gen 15:1) Note that “I AM THY SHIELD AND THY EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD” is both atonement and wedding language. Atonement because Messiah paid our sin debt when we believe and are faithful to Him. Wedding because the husband is responsible for confirming the vows of the wife (SHIELD for sin, Num 30:6-15) and because the husband is the object of her desire (EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD) … “and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee (Gen 3:16). 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy SEED be. 9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. 10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. 12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a SMOKING FURNACE (God), and a BURNING LAMP (Yeshua) that passed between those pieces. This is instituting the “covenant of blood” …walking a figure eight between the divided pieces and in essence, saying, “May I become as these sacrificed animals if I break this covenant.” So, God (the smoking furnace) was making a covenant with Himself as Yeshua (the burning lamp / MEDIATOR) on Abraham’s and his SEED’S behalf. 18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying…. (Gen 15) Now, Galatians 3:20 - [20 Now a MEDIATOR is not a MEDIATOR of one, but God is one. (Gal 3:19-20)] Paul is bringing attention to the fact that Yeshua is the fullness of God in the flesh…he is both fully God and human…and is acting as the ultimate MEDIATOR between God and penitent believers. He is THE sacrificial Lamb of God. He is second or last Adam, making the correct choice (that first Adam failed to do) and paying the ultimate price to bring life to all who believe in Him and WANT (heart-felt desire) to make correct choices. Shalom

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi Raymond. I've not studied that passage in much depth, but here's what Pratt says in his commentary: "This portion of Paul’s argument is difficult to discern. He clearly led the Corinthians to the correct answer by posing another question, asking them to consider if it were not true that the very nature of things taught his particular view on the matter. The meaning of this question, however, is puzzling. Several explanations have been advanced, but none seems adequate. The expression “the very nature of things” may also be translated “nature itself.” On this basis, some interpreters have argued that Paul’s question was an appeal to creation ordinances. They have assumed either that Paul thought the created order demonstrated that men should have short hair and women long hair, or that he believed that God actually created men with shorter hair than women. Some have suggested (though wrongly) the latter view to have been the opinion of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, and thereby have suspected that this might have been the Corinthians’ view. Given that the Old Testament says nothing about the length of hair, however, it is unlikely that Paul endorsed a particular view of hair length at the time of human origins. Paul expected the Corinthians to recognize that men should have short hair and women long hair. He also expected them to see that the glory of women’s long hair implied the propriety of women’s head coverings in worship." -Richard L. Pratt Jr, I & II Corinthians, vol. 7, Holman New Testament Commentary, pp. 187-188. Hope that helps! Rob

My dear Rob - it is amazing how you try and prove some point - but disregard the outcome of the practical evidence . Let us begin with Salvation through Faith - this is why most people including yourself , misunderstand Paul's letters . In this chapter , as you point out various times , Paul greatest struggle was to convince his audience ( Jew and Gentile ) that salvation is now through faith in Messiah - fact . But does this mean we now can do and live how we want to ? In our worldly living we had values , which is in opposition to God's way - we should now be living our lives . What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Romans 6:15 ESV So here Paul says clearly - by no means ! So how will we as new believers conduct our lifes , which would be contrary to what we are used to ? Let us see what the council of Jerusalem decided in Acts 15 . For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues." Acts 15:21 ESV So although you differ from having the Sabbath as worship day - the council did , and was happy to recommed that new believers could indeed see how God wants us to live - by hearing the law of God through Moses , every Sabbat in the synagogues . But no Christian commentator have seen this verse or they just don't want to see it . The second point i would want you to maybe do a video on - s what the character of the Natsarim was - of whom Paul was the Ringleader . For we have found this man a plague, one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. Acts 24:5 ESV When we read commentries how the " church fathers " described these followers of Yahusha ( Christ ) , they odserved most of the law . Circumcition , Sabbath and dietary practises , so how come they would not have een impressed by this video , were you try to defend Paul - on something we don't see in his followers . Only one principle , that has confused so many people and teachers , Paul is only defending the principle that salvation is through faith alone - not by the law anymore . Can we now live how we want ? No , we follow God's way of how He wants us to live as children of that household . Consider : Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.' And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:9‭-‬14 ESV Many good and bad had been invited But somehow there was a dress code , but whicb were ignored or missed by this person . He wanted to get to the wedding feast - but on his own way , or he didn't bother to find out if there was a dress code . May your followers , seriously consider what you want to bring to them , because evidence show the opposite to what you bring to them In conclusion - may i quote Peter And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. 2 Peter 3:15‭-‬17 ESV Shalom and God bless

Solberg when we read Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, if we read this out of context, it may actually seem to say Jesus saved us from the curse of the Torah. Which is true but only in the right context. We should not read this as if the Torah is a curse, The Torah is not a curse. Because if you do the Torah you receive blessings according to Deuteronomy 28 : 1-9. But there is a section within the Torah a Law of Curses for disobedience of the Torah Deuteronomy 28 : 15 - 68.

Remove the bad before following the good. but that we write to them *TO ABSTAIN FROM* things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. - Acts 15 : 20 that you *ABSTAIN FROM* things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. *IF YOU KEEP YOURSELVES FROM THESE* , you will do well. Farewell. - Acts 15 : 29 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they PLAY THE HARLET WITH THEIR gods and MAKE SACRIFICE TO THEIR gods, and ONE OF THEM INVITES YOU and YOU EAT OF his sacrifice, - Exodus 34 : 15 but that we write to them to ABSTAIN FROM things polluted by idols... - Acts 15 : 20 “If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and detests her,and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin,’then the father and mother of the young woman shall take and bring out the evidence of the young woman’s virginity to the elders of the city at the gate. And the young woman’s father shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as wife, and he detests her. Now he has charged her with shameful conduct, saying, “I found your daughter was not a virgin,” and yet these are the evidences of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him;and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife; he cannot divorce her all his days. “But if the thing is true, and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house. So you shall put away the evil from among you.“ If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them shall die - the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall put away the evil from Israel. “If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you.“ But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the countryside, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the young woman; there is in the young woman no sin deserving of death, for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter. For he found her in the countryside, and the betrothed young woman cried out, but there was no one to save her. “If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are found out,then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife because he has humbled her; he shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days.“ A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s bed. - Deuteronomy 22 : 13-30 but that we write to them to ABSTAIN FROM from sexual immorality... - Acts 15 : 20 ‘And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.’ “Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust; for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.’ - Leviticus 17 : 10-14 ABSTAIN FROM things strangled, and from blood. - Acts 15 : 20 AGAIN PREVIOUS PAGAN GENTILES NOW BELIEVERS NEEDED TO STOP 4 OBVIOUS PAGAN THINGS BY STARTING WITH 4 TORAH COMMANDMENTS THEN AFTER THEY WERE ABLE TO ABSTAIN, WHILE THEY LEARNT THE REMAINING TORAH.

​@@johanneangers2 Thank you for writing so much information. I have heard this as a talking point from HR for many years. The problem you have are these: The Torah was a covenant given to Israel for the land they were in and the Jews could not keep it. Neither can we. Its job was to point us to Christ and that no matter what you, the Jews, Ric Joyner, or no one can be perfect. We needed a savior. He came. Prophets fulfilled. He paid the sin debt we owed to God. Torah fulfilled. He said, "If you love Me you will obey my commandments" His commandments were given to the Apostles which we have in the NT. The Torah today cannot be kept with no temple. 247 laws are attached to that. Not one TO or HR person is keeping Torah today even though they tell us all to do so that if you don't you are a lawbreaker as Christ said in Matthew at the Lord Lord discussion. However, that is eisegesis the text. Meaning we put an agenda into the text rather than exegesis (take out of the text). It is KNOWING Him that was the issue in this text, not putting Torah everywhere the law is mentioned in the Bible. Even Judaism will tell you that no one can keep torah today. So here are the questions I ask to TO/HR peeps from Galatians which is telling Jews who are saved to stop binding people up to the Torah and Judaism. (BTW no HR person can know how to keep the TORAH unless they get it from Judaism which is the trap) But now today we have gentiles who literally hate the church telling other Gentiles to practice the Torah like the Jews or these Christians are going to hell who are born again. It is so convoluted that it is beyond any discussion of logic. The Gospel is now we are to obey the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ which are given to the Apostles just as God gave the commands of the Torah to Moses. Then we are to preach the Gospel. To reinforce this God the Father appeared on the mount of transfiguration and with Moshe and Elijah on the mountain and said that because Christ was here now, "This is my beloved Son now listen to Him". That is our call. Listen to Christ and His apostles. The other question I ask Torah Keepers is: Why in your groups don't you preach the Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ 1 Cor 15:1-4 rather than the Gospel of Keep Torah that will not bring salvation and was never intended to do so? So the recruitment of Christians to come under Torah is the main goal it seems from HR. One man said to me who ran an HR congregation in Florida: Ric, I know what you mean and it is a concern for us that we do not preach the Gospel of Christ. Well, the answer is that HR preaches a false Gospel. What did Paul say in Galatians about a false Gospel preached? None of these questions you need to answer for me they are here for discussion only. I don't appreciate the discussion spirit from HR people who are guests on here and then demand that we who oppose this preaching answer their questions. Notice I am not opposed to you but the teaching. This terrible teaching almost got me. Then I learned to study the Bible using PROPER biblical study methods. Now we can see. We love the Lord Jesus Christ and want to keep His commandments with the power of the Holy Spirit vs trying to figure out when the Sun goes down and then we can stop keeping Shabbat. Blessings.

@@BibleStudyCompany The Torah was a Covenant given to Israel for the land they were in, And the Jews could not keep it. Really? I've never heard of that before! So the whole Torah was a Covenant. Where did you get that information? I was pretty sure the Torah was a whole set of instructions given by The Creators through his word. Which includes Genesis to Deuteronomy! I also seen so many different kinds Covenants mentioned in the Torah that I am use to reading, which Torah do you read? You mention a Covenant given to Israel for the land they were in. Which land are you referring to? In Arabia when they lived there? Or in the promise land when they owned the land? You also said the Jews could not keep it. What about the other people that were not Jews? And who out of Isreal are the Jews? What percentage of Israel is Jewish? Now you specifically said the Jews could not keep it! Is it really that all could not keep it. Or is there evidence that some did keep it their whole lifetime while others decided not to. Not sure your statement of could not is correct at all. I think some did and some did not. Many were honored for doing the right choices. There many examples that many were able to keep the Torah, which the Creator clearly stated they were righteous. You also said that the Jews couldn't keep it neither could we... Well I disagree, because it's a choice that one makes. If you want to follow the word, you can keep it. To say you can't, that's not a good answer. It more like you don't want to. I agree the Torah point us to Jesus, because the word proclaimed the Torah and the word became flesh. But to disregard following Torah is in ascent disregarding the word. Yes from our sinful birth and nature we needed Salvation, we did not follow the word before, but now when your saved you follow the word. The Torah is the word. The NT was not given to read to the 1st century Christians, did they miss out of these writings? The commandments are all within the Torah. When Jesus ressurected and walked with a couple of his disciples, they marveled how the Scriptures were opened up in understanding to them and the only Scriptures they had was the Tanakh. The Torah & prophets! You said the Torah cannot be kept because there is no temple. Really? I am pretty sure the Temple in heaven still exists, also I am 100% sure there is a Hgh Priest from the order of Melchizedek running that temple as mediator between God and men. He even has an Altar. Book of Hebrews and Revelation tells us all this. Also on a side note the old Testament is not Judaism, also every commandments you say Jesus created in the NT can ALL be found in the Torah. Because the Torah has always been about the CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART and TO FULLY FOLLOW IT WITH THE MIND. Plus when God says to listen to his son, that's because Jesus is listening to God. We do preach the gospel of Salvation to unbelievers, but once saved and your no longer an unbeliever then we preach the word, and to walk the same word Jesus walked and preached, Which was the written Torah and not the Oral Tulmudic Laws of Judaism of men and not the men made traditions. And this is the true context of Galatians in we preach in full understanding of Paul's letter... kzbin.info/aero/PLBGJKrT1Ui3BMWAHWlDSQuVB87UwMNlhP

@@johanneangers2 I do not say this lightly nor with a mean or condescending tone but of concern. I am totally surprised that you did not know that the covenant at MT sinai was a covenant and Moses even sprinkled the people with blood. What was Deut 28 about? Keep or don't keep? Anyway, no need for you to answer any question I give you. It is for your contemplation. Torah Keeping uses very poor bible study principles which is leading to such deception. Here is the deception. If you do believe that we are all saved by grace as Paul says then why is HBR preaching a false gospel? Ric, what is the false gospel? Believe in Jesus but once you are saved you must now keep Torah and if you do not you are a lawbreaker and Matthew 7 says you are not saved in the famous Lord Lord Comment. HBR cannot have it both ways. It is either belief in Christ as He said what the work of God was and His once for all sacrifice or it is keeping Torah. Actually, He said IF you love me you will obey my commandments. And the disciples were given His commandments which get to our hearts in the NT. In Romans 9:30 Paul rebukes the Jews here:30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith; 31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is written, "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." So it is a false Gospel and worse than the Judaizers because it is Gentiles who are duped into trying to keep Torah but cannot. No one can. It is really performance-based work. And if you can't keep Torah but preach you should, then isn't that picking and choosing what to keep? And isn't that breaking the Torah? What does paul say about those that preach a different Gospel? I do not presume to judge your salvation but be very careful to preach the correct Gospel. Not Jesus plus Torah. Jesus wants us to listen to the disciples He picked as God picked Moses. But Dr. Baruch Korman said "We believe with Paul in Romans that we are dead to the law" And when someone is dead they are no longer under Torah by faith. Blessings to you as you search to please God in however you wish to do it.

[@henryhodgens4312]

Rob, I don’t have time to hit all the points you make here but will try to cover the major issues. First, as I commented on your previous video about the tutor error of Galatians 3: 1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, THAT YE SHOULD NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (Gal 3:1 KJV) How can you obey a fact? You can’t! You can believe a fact…Messiah Yeshua’s atonement for sin by His death, burial, and resurrection…but you can’t obey a fact. So, what is THE TRUTH that we should OBEY IT? 142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and THY LAW IS THE TRUTH. (Ps 119:142) Paul completes the contrast between Torah pursuance and “works of the law” in verse 2 by pointing out that that Galatians received the Spirit by believing in Messiah Yeshua and not by following the “commandments of men”. 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the HEARING OF FAITH? (Gal 3:2) Remember that, according to the (Re)New(ed) Covenant, God promises to write His Commandments (Jer 31:33, Torah) on our hearts when we believe in Messiah Yeshua. Paul repeats this contrast for emphasis in verse 3: 3 Are ye so foolish? having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT, are ye now MADE PERFECT BY THE FLESH? (Gal 3:3) This is not just believing…this is DOING: 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are CONTRARY the one to the other: so that ye cannot DO the things that ye would. (Gal 5:17) Furthermore, 12 Wherefore the LAW is HOLY, and the COMMANDMENT HOLY, and just, and good. 14 For we know that the LAW IS SPIRITUAL: but I am carnal, sold under sin. (Rom 7:12, 14) So, “having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT” would imply an association with if not total pursuance of the LAW. This contrast is repeated in verse 5: 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the HEARING OF FAITH? (Gal 3:5 KJV) Perhaps a review of a passage from chapter 2 would be insightful: 16 Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED by the WORKS OF THE LAW, but by the faith OF Jesus Christ, even we have believed IN Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED by the faith OF Christ, and NOT by the WORKS OF THE LAW: for by the WORKS OF THE LAW shall NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED. (Gal 2:16) But remember that Paul states that doers of the LAW ARE justified in Romans 2. 13 (For not the hearers of the LAW are just before God, but the DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. (Rom 2:13) So, WORKS OF THE LAW is NOT the same as the LAW. We’ll see this again shortly. faith OF Jesus Christ = Yeshua’s FIDELITY / FAITHFULNESS unto death to God’s will … provides for our atonement. we have believed IN (Greek, eis / INTO…not Greek, en / in) Jesus Christ = To become like Him…do what He did…follow His example…He kept the Torah perfectly to be the perfect Lamb of God. Verses 6 - 9 focus on the FAITH of Abraham. 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. So, what did Abraham “believe” that was counted as righteousness? What did his faith look like? 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham OBEYED my VOICE, and KEPT my CHARGE, my COMMANDMENTS, my STATUTES, and my LAWS. (Gen 26:4,5) This is “first mention” of these terms in Scripture and they are not seen again until Mt Sinai. Why? Obviously, Scripture is emphasizing that Abraham was pursuing Torah that God presented him orally…the only valid case for an Oral Law…and Abraham was faithful to carry out God’s CHARGE, COMMANDMENTS, STATUTES, and LAWS. It’s interesting that the definition of both Greek and Hebrew words for faith include the term FIDELITY: Faith, (G4102) pistis; credence, conviction, reliance, assurance, belief, believe, faith, FIDELITY. Faith, (H530) emunah; lit. firmness, fig. security, mor. FIDELITY. What does FIDELITY mean? FIDELITY: Faithful devotion to duty or to one's obligations or vows; loyalty; faithfulness [Webster’s New World Dictionary]. FIDELITY: Faithfulness to obligations, duties, or observances [American Heritage Dictionary]. So, it’s obvious…to me anyway…that Abraham’s faith included more than just giving mental ascent to the fact of God’s existence…believing IN God. He followed through by carrying out God’s “instructions” …BELIEVING God. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. (Gal 3:7) Those then who are similarly “faithful” irrespective of their genealogy are “grafted into” Israel. 14 And thy SEED shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be BLESSED (v’nivrechu, grafted in). (Gen 28:14) “According to the Ba’alei Tosafot (critical and analytical explanatory additions to Jewish Talmudic literature), the Hebrew word nivrechu is a derivative of the Hebrew infinitive, mavrich, which means ‘grafting-in’.” [Messiah, Vol 2, p. 171; Avi Ben Mordechai]. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham. (Gal 3:6-9) Verse 9 then, underscores the connection between FAITH and FAITHFULNESS. Shalom

@ Rob Solberg..... Steve responded to this false teaching and exposed you as a slanderer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnzNiGmOfNyMpMk

[@fredgillespie5855]

The background to the “lawless” debate has been explained by Prof. Solberg so no point in repeating it. The following was originally posted to refute Tovia Singer's claim that the apostle Paul abolished the law. Tovia Singer has his anti-Christian agenda and since Christian often misunderstand Galatians ch.3 they are easily swayed to see thing his way. The following is brief but if you look up the scriptures quoted then what Paul is really saying should be quite clear. Galatians ch.3 is the scripture generally used to claim that the apostle Paul taught that Christians were not under the law. Gal.ch.3:2-3 - “Received you the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit are ye now made perfect in the law?” - v.10 “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: - -” vs.11-13 “But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, the just shall live by faith.” - - “And the law is not of faith:” - “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree.”- - v19 “Wherefore then serve the law? It was added because of transgressions till the seed (singular) should come to whom the promise was made. - - -” v24, 25 “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ (the seed) that we might be justified by faith - “But after faith is come we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” So there you have it. The law was only a temporary expedient, “a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ” but now that Christ has come we can dispense with the law, it is replaced by faith in Christ. At a superficial reading that is how it would appear. But we overlooked something: v19 - the law Paul is talking about, the law that was the schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, is the law that was - “ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS” But Romans ch.4:15 tells us “Where there is no law there is no transgression” So there had to be a law already in existence before it could be broken and because that pre-existing law was broken the law that is the subject of Galatians ch.3 “was added” v19. What then is this law and when was it added? Jeremiah ch.7:22 - “For I spoke not unto your fathers nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burned offering and sacrifice.” And in Isaiah ch.1 God berates Judah for their sins and in v11 He asks - “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? Saith the Lord. I am full of the burned offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts, and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he goats - and He continues with - new moons, appointed feasts, prayers etc. and says He is “weary to hear them” And why? - because their “hands are full of blood” vs 15. And in verses 16-17 admonishes them to change their ways. The Jews were attempting to demonstrate their righteousness by zealously keeping the ritual law, “the law that was added” while at the same time demonstrating their unrighteousness by neglecting to keep the original law - the moral law, the law that admonished them to love their neighbours as themselves. The law that was abolished, the law that Jesus came to fulfil (Matthew ch.5:17) is the ritual law, the law of sacrifice etc. that was added to remind them of the penalty for breaking the moral law (Hebrews ch.10:1-10) Is Paul opposed to the moral law? Here is what he says - Galatians ch.5:14 “For all the law is fulfilled in this one word - thou shall love thy neighbour as yourself.” Ephesians ch.4:28 - “Let him who stole steal no more.” “-- -, for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment it is briefly comprehended in this saying, Thou shalt love they neighbour as yourself. Love works no ill to his neighbour therefore love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans ch.13:8-10) To claim that Paul did away with the Law is either due to a misunderstanding or is simply a lie.

I have a few questions. 1. Were some of the members of the churches of Galatia, natural born Israelis, and in Jerusalem, on the Feast of pentecost when the Ruach Ha Kodesh indwelled in the Disciples the Upper room, After Jesus' ascension. 2. Wasn't Peter actually in Rome before Rabbi Paul wrote the Letter to the Romans? 3. Why do you use an ESV, that is NOT the Best word for word translation, as a theologian you should know that. 4. In acts 13 , what is a proselyte, you'll find that word in the KJV. They followed Paul also. Here is a statement, Yeshua, Was not a Christian , He did not start Christianity, neither did Paul, or he could have never said, he had never, ever..... broke God's laws of His Kingdom. So, that makes Yeshua and Paul both very Observant to The Laws of God written for His children. You need to research "Myles Munroe" and stop putting yourself in the position of being a false prophet, as Yeshua stated in, mat 24...and also what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11, as a minister of The Kingdom of Darkness, in the times we live in Brother, things are happening very quickly...Are you born again? Ezekiel 36! Wasn't that Nicodemus problem? Not being born again, made him not far from the Kingdom, but obviously he wasn't a part of The Kingdom. Then , are you filled with the Holy Ghost, I would almost think not... because The Holy Ghost would stop you from teaching falsehood, of The Father's Kingdom. That's His Job....if you work for Him.

You ask awesome questions, Nancy. 1. I don't know 2. I don't know 3. In my studies I always use multiple translations because I don't believe there is one translation that is completely superior to all others. But the ESV is sort of my default. I like it because I lean toward formal equivalence, and the ESBV does that without being overly dogmatic. And it incorporates more up-to-date manuscript readings. 4. What the KJV calls a "proselyte" is a person that convert to Judaism. Blessings, Rob

The Jews follow Torah…….No branch of Christianity follows the Torah…nor should. Jesit only fulfilled his death : Ezekiel 18:20 The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness. The story of Jesit has been done before….with Greek mythology. Dionysus and Hercules, who are actually one in the same. Christianity misses the mark on the first 3 commandments. 1. I AM the lord your God……who took you out of the Iron crucible. 2. No other before Me. 3. Do not take a he Lords name in vain. All three of those Jesit could not do! Jesit couldn’t become the word either…..proverbs 8:1-4 shows that Torah is female………unless Jesit went woke, or is playing with pronouns, he was not in the beginning (Torah). And God told the end in the beginning (Torah): Isaiah 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ If the Jewish scripture are actually read, you can see that a man named Jesit never fulfilled anything from my Jewish Tanakh. Even the argument that “no bodies perfect” so no one can follow the commandments…….. or his comes from the NT: Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect. You will never find a verse like this in the Jewish scripture…..and we never say you must be perfect…..but like God told Cain…….improve yourself and be forgiven.

The beginning of the restoration of the Temple in the second year of Darius the Persian (Haggai 1:1-8) took place seventy years later, in the year 3408. The Second Temple stood 420 years. This added up to a total of 490 years, with the destruction of the Second Temple taking place in the year 3828.

From destruction of the Temple (starting point of this calculation) to the advent of Cyrus, fifty-one full years elapsed. [The reign of Cyrus commenced in the fifty-second year.] This does not, however, contradict the words of the angel in any way. He is referring here to weeks of years, of which there were only seven (49 years). The additional years did not add up to a full week. From beginning of the “word of God to Jeremiah “(v.2) until “to return and rebuild Jerusalem…..will be seven weeks. The Prince is Cyrus, about whom it is written: Thus says Hashem to His anointed Cyrus….He will build My city and he will let My exiles go free (Isaiah 45:1 and 13). Anointed indicates greatness….not a literal sense of who is anointed with oil. Seven Weeks: This phrase makes it clear the year Daniel had though to be the seventieth was really only part of the eight weeks, i.e., the 52nd year. And for sixty-two weeks: Sixty-two weeks came to 434 years, plus the four years remaining from the eighth week of the years that had begun before the “anointed prince reigned. [As indicated before, Cyrus reigned in the fifth- second year, which used up seven weeks of years plus an extra three years that were not counted because they did not add up to a week.] We have a remainder of four from this incomplete week, giving a total of 438 years. Eighteen of these years passed between Cyrus’s edict and the building of the Temple, which stood 420 years. The breakdown of the seventy weeks is as follows: Seven full weeks before the reign of the anointed prince, sixty two full weeks from his accession to the throne, and one divided week, part before and part after his accession. [As I commented before…events] But in troubled times: They were under rule of the Persians, then the Greeks, and finally the Romans, all of whom oppressed them. The anointed will be cut off: The bringing of offering, represented here by the “”anointed” priesthood, will stop. The people of the prince will come: These are the legions of Vespasian and Titus. The destruction is ascribed to the legions since Titus desired only the submission of Jerusalem, not its destruction. But his end will be [to be swept away as] in a flood: The end of the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem will be total destruction through the Messianic King. Then, until the end of the war: Until after the final war waged by the Messianic King and the war of Gog and Magog, “desolation is decreed” for the city. By the end of Titus’s campaign, most of the city was destroyed. Only a small part of the city was allowed to remain. He will forge a strong covenant with the great ones: This verse refers back to the last of the sixty-two weeks allotted to Jerusalem. The Roman emperor will make a firm covenant with the Jewish nation for seven years. However the Romans did not abide by their covenant, broke their promise and “abolished sacrifice offering.” The mute abominations: This refers to the temple for idol worship Hadrian erected upon the site of the Sanctuary in the aftermath of Bar-Kochba’s ill-fated revolt fifty-two years after the destruction of the Temple.

IV. Rob, So, let’s take the next three verses: [12 And the LAW is not of faith: but, The MAN THAT DOETH THEM SHALL LIVE IN THEM. (Gal 3:12)] Paul is obviously quoting OT Scripture…most likely: 10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 11 And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which IF A MAN DO, HE SHALL EVEN LIVE IN THEM. (Ez 20:10,11) Messiah’s commentary: 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS. (Mt 19:17) [13 Christ hath redeemed us from the CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (Gal 3:13)] The CURSE OF THE LAW is our failure to keep it (SIN). So, the CURSE was upon Him for OUR SIN. [14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH. (Gal 3:14)] The PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH…IS…the (Re)New(ed) Covenant and…IS…specifically made with Israel: 33 But this shall be the COVENANT that I will make with the HOUSE OF ISRAEL; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my LAW (Torah) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jer 31:33) So, when we come to faith in God / Yeshua, God promises to write His Commandments on our hearts so we will have a desire to pursue them. So, what is written on our hearts? ... a generalized notion of good? ... or a specific list of Commandments? Jeremiah 31:33 specifically states Torah in the Hebrew. We need a set of rules as a guide, otherwise everyone does what’s right in his own eyes… 8 Ye shall NOT DO after all the things that we do here this day, every man WHATSOEVER IS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES. (Dt 12:8) … because the heart is desperately wicked: 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jer 17:9) Without specific guidelines, the heart tends to bend to the flesh. Shalom

Read Romans 9:30-end of chapter to help you decide. Then rom 14:23

[@henryhodgens4312]

Rob, Now we come to a pair of very pivotal verses…Galatians 3:10,11. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Gal 3:10) Granted, Paul’s expression of his rationale here is not straight forward to our Western / English minds, so let’s break this verse up into three parts: For as many as ARE OF the WORKS OF THE LAW are under the curse: (Gal 3:10a) [So, you are cursed if you ARE DOING the WORKS OF THE LAW.] for it is WRITTEN, (Gal 3:10b) [As opposed to the “oral” tradition of the fathers or elders / commandments of men; i.e., ORAL LAW] Cursed is every one that continueth NOT in all things which are WRITTEN in the BOOK OF THE LAW to do them. (Gal 3:10c) [And, you are also cursed if you are NOT doing everything WRITTEN in the BOOK OF THE LAW] So, if WORKS OF THE LAW and BOOK OF THE LAW are referring to the same thing, you are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”. Therefore, WORKS OF THE LAW is something different than BOOK OF THE LAW. Notice that Paul emphasizes the distinction between the two by including the term WRITTEN, twice, which alludes to: 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS and HIS STATUTES which are WRITTEN in this BOOK OF THE LAW, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. (Dt 30:9,10) …and… 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the LAW, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. 8 This BOOK OF THE LAW shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is WRITTEN therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Josh 1:7,8) Obviously then, BOOK OF THE LAW refers to the Torah, and you are cursed if you are…NOT… doing everything WRITTEN in the BOOK OF THE LAW (Torah). In the same negative sense, you are also cursed if you…ARE…DOING the WORKS OF THE LAW. Both phrases form a dichotomy of expression contrasting WORKS OF THE LAW versus BOOK OF THE LAW. In Galatians 3:11, we hit an apparent snag to the aforementioned understanding of 3:10. So, let’s study through this verse in similar fashion: 11 But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, the JUST shall live by FAITH. (Gal 3:11) What about the Greek terms for JUSTIFIED, JUST, and FAITH? Keep the following definitions in mind when we get to the Hebrew: G1344 dikaioo, dik-ah-yo-o, from G1342; to render (i.e., show or regard as) just or innocent; free, JUSTIFY, be righteous. G1342 dikaios, dik-ah-yos, from G1349; equitable (in character or act), by impl. innocent, holy; JUST, meet, right (-eous). G4102 pistis; from G3982; persuasion, i.e. credence; mor. Conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstr. Constancy in such profession; by extens. The system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: -- assurance, belief, believe, FAITH, FIDELITY. But we know that DOERS of the LAW…ARE…JUSTIFIED: 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. (Rom 2:13) But there’s a qualifying phrase in Galatians 3:11. 11 But that no man is justified by the law IN THE SIGHT OF GOD… […that is, TO GOD’S HIGH STANDARD.] This is probably coming from: 1 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for IN THY SIGHT SHALL NO MAN LIVING BE JUSTIFIED. (Ps 143:1,2) No one keeps God’s Commandments to His high standard…but One (Yeshua)…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And what is sin? 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4) Note that the phrase…THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH…is a quote from the OT: 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH. (Hab 2:4) In the OT, where pursuit of Torah was incumbent on the believers, they were said to live by their faith. So, why is Galatians 3:11 any different? In fact, the Hebrew term for JUST in Habakkuk 2:4 includes, as a synonym, the term, LAWFUL. H6662 tsaddiyq, tsad-deek from H6663; just: --JUST, LAWFUL, righteous (man). So, Paul is simply quoting OT Scripture that backs up his point in Galatians 3:10 Believing, as we do, that the NT was originally written in Hebrew / Aramaic, then translated to Greek, we can now see that the Greek translation misses the intent of the verse by omitting the LAWFUL attribute. Similarly, as we noted previously, the term FAITH in Hebrew is related to FAITHFULNESS …that is, following through by doing those things that please God…keeping His Commandments. H530 emunah; faith: -- lit. firmness, fig. security, mor. FIDELITY (faithfulness) More to come. Shalom

[@henryhodgens4312]

VII. Rob, Continuing with verse 21: [21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. (Gal 3:21)] Does the Law abrogate the PROMISES of God? Absolutely not as I’ve shown. Rather, the Law works WITH the PROMISE to fulfill God’s plan of salvation to those who believe in Him and want to do the right thing. The Law cannot save, only condemn. Its purpose is to define right and wrong and demonstrate that wrong choices are painful…so choose well…choose life. [22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. (Gal 3: 22)] Simple enough - 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom 3:23) …and what is SIN? 4 Whosoever committeth SIN transgresseth also the law: for SIN is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4) And now the SCHOOLMASTER passage: [23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law (the PLACEHOLDER for and until Messiah comes), shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (Gal 3:23-25 KJV)] First, what is this term, SCHOOLMASTER (other versions use terms like GUARDIAN, CHILD-CONDUCTOR, TRAINER, or TUTOR)? schoolmaster - G3807, paidagogos; boy leader, i.e., a servant whose office it was to take the children (boys) to school. Boys went to school at the age of seven, or went to the barracks, if they lived in Sparta. The three types of teachings were: grammatistes for arithmetic, kitharistes for music and dancing, and paedotribae for sports. Boys from wealthy families attending the private school lessons were taken care of by a paidagogos, a household slave selected for this task who accompanied the boy during the day. Classes were held in teachers' private houses and included reading, writing, mathematics, singing, and playing the lyre and flute. When the boy became 12 years old the schooling started to include sports such as wrestling, running, and throwing discus and javelin. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece) There is some diversity of opinion as to whether the paidagogos (schoolmaster / trainer) simply delivered the boys to school or was in fact, their teacher. But whichever, once they knew the way or had been trained, they didn't depart from it. What is the purpose of training if you never use it? The point here is that once one was trained in Torah that person would continue in the same manner and not stray into some strange doctrine…and this training would also “lead” them to recognize Messiah when He arrives. From the perspective of the OT saints, the “faith which should afterwards be revealed” refers to the coming (Re-)New(-ed) Covenant in which God PROMISED that He would write His Commandments (Torah) on the hearts of the believers so they would have a desire to "walk in His Ways". So, it seems fairly obvious that the OT saints were not “imprisoned” by the Law…that would be the natural conclusion of those (even translators) who are inclined to view the Law as a burden…who don’t have the Torah written on their hearts. Rather, the theme of this passage is that the OT Israelites were being “protected” under the Law and “trained” what to look for in the Messiah and what was expected of them as citizens in the Kingdom of God. Otherwise, it would be like the young person aspiring to practice medicine and after four years of undergraduate study, passing the MCAT exam, four years of med school, passing the USMLE, completing residency, and going out and hanging up his shingle only to don a witchdoctor’s paraphernalia and start dancing around his office.

This guy is anti Torah while Jesus and Paul supported It (Matthew 5:17-19, Luke 4:16, John 15:7, Acts 17:2, 18:4, 21:24, 24:14). Many will take to the book of Galatians when attempting to discredit the Law of God. Paul does mention the word “law” 13 times. Paul was extremely upset that the Galatians had wondered from the true Gospel he had taught and they accepted. So what exactly is the Gospel Paul taught?? Galatians 1:3-4 Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age. Yet there is another aspect of the Gospel which few recognize. From the 1st century Jewish perspective, Jesus came only for Jews. Yet it was Paul’s mission to preach that Jesus came for everyone including Gentiles. This is the basis Paul taught throughout his ministry over three missionary trips. Paul taught that Jesus reconciled both Jews and Gentiles with God (Romans 2:28-29, Galatians 3:28, Ephesians 2:11, 2:14-22, 3:6). Paul focused on God having no favorites (Romans 2:11, Colossians 3:25). Paul often mentions “the law” (here in 2:15-16), yet few understand which law exactly. Realize the battle Paul constantly faced. Paul was a Pharisee, not a Sadducee. Paul was taught there was both an Oral Torah and Written Torah. There is NO evidence of any Oral Torah anywhere. Pharisees for this (Matthew 15:1-9, chapter 23) which began as the Halacha or Halakah. The Halacha states no one can squeeze a lemon into tea on the Sabbath but is allowed to make the tea. The Halacha forbids the tearing of toilet paper on the Sabbath and must be pretorn prior. These extra laws were a burden to the people. They were considered a “yoke”. The ‘yoke’ describes a burden. Jesus said, “My yoke is easy, and My burden is light”. Jesus is comparing the Law of God with the Halakah. Paul’s emphasis was never Grace and faith ‘versus’ obedience and God’s Laws. Yet the typical Jew viewed themselves as highly favored and righteous thru obedience of the Torah without faith at all. Many felt they were given a ‘license to sin’ because they could be forgiven thru sacrifice as an automatic guarantee, just as many today feel they also have a license to sin because of the sacrifice of Jesus will automatically guarantee forgiveness. Paul as a Pharisee, is NOT attempting to argue against the Torah as he always kept it (Acts 17:2, 18:4, 21:24, 24:14). Yet he DOES spotlight that once we break one Law, we’ve broken all (James 2:10). Once we’ve broke ANY Law, we need propitiation to appease God for justification. Breaking the law makes us criminals. Criminals who obey the law doesn’t make one less of a criminal. Yet that by no means implies we can continue as criminals. If we break the law and pay a fine or imprisonment, those punishments do not imply we can repeat our crimes without further punishment. Because we are all sinners, we cannot become righteous once again by obeying the Torah though Paul emphasized we must fulfill the Torah thru obedience (Romans 3:31). Yet through Jesus and Jesus alone are we reestablished as acceptable to God. This is the point Paul makes throughout his letters. As people twist the words of Paul, we must remember that Paul kept the Law. Acts 21:23-24 is clear Paul made a vow and shaved his head to show he still followed the Law of God though people at the time, just as today, misunderstood. Peter warned of twisted Paul’s words in 2 Peter 3:15 And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him- 16 speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.

@Leon with all due respect think you are taking a sweepng generalization of Paul. Remember, he was a highly educated Jewish leader. His personal encounter with the resurrected Yesuah as Messiah chnged his life. Why? I do not think you nor I can fully understand as I feel confident our spiritual journeys have differed from his in both context and historic/cultural demension. As you know Abraham walked by faith with God long before any law was established or written for man. It was humanity that broke these laws. And humans who added more out of control. YHWH eventually said, to update and paraphaise, alright I need to go and see how this creation of mine thinks from their perspective, thus "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" teaching the Father's true intentions. Then he sacrificed Himself for our sins and conquered death. For what reason? So that we may see him as Messiah and the truth of his intention with freedom to walk with Him and as Abraham be called the friend God. I pray that offers some positive clarification. Shalom.

[@simplydanny]

Let me ask you a question, if the law is perfect the way you’re interpreting the word perfect from the Hebrew, which I disagree with, why would Jesus say the following: And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one’? So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” He said to them, “For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries a divorced woman, commits adultery.” Matthew 19:3-9

And the young woman’s father shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as wife, and he detests her. Now he has charged her with shameful conduct, saying, “I found your daughter was not a virgin,” and yet these are the evidences of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him;and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel.

So you shall put away the evil from among you.“ If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them shall die - the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall put away the evil from Israel. “If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you.“ But if a man finds a betrothed young woman in the countryside, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.

@@TheBiblicalRoots The verse that follows right after 15:20 in the book of Acts were they were told to Abstain, right along with this context they are seen learning the Torah every sabbath in the very next verse at 15:21. Forsure to abstains is to stop doing or to refrain from ever doing. You asked to show a verse were it shows they stopped doing... obviously if they are told to abstain and they continue doing the things that they should of abstain from they would no longer of been accepted in the assembly if they didn't want to follow God as its says in verse 15:19 again in context. But it clearly says they did want to follow God, and it says 4 things to abstain from (which are in the Torah as previously shown in my 1st comment, and it shows that the Torah is proclaimed every Sabbath, which shows that they are learning the whole Torah.

Wrong premise brings false teaching, the true premise is faith is believing in the law of righteousness, works of the law being transgressions of the law of righteousness. It is wrong to believe that faith in Christ is just believing he died to pay for your sins, which he did not, as faith is the evidence of believing in the word of God, which is righteousness. Works of the law are not attempts to keep the law, works in this case are sin that disprove faith, as faith counts for righteousness. I have a Ytube video series called 'Myths in so-called Christianity', this is explained #1 video of 28.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Respectfully, Simon, your comments are proving your first statement true: "Wrong premise brings false teaching." And when I say "false teaching," I mean teaching that does not align with Scripture. And I am pointing it out under the assumption that you are a brother in Christ and open to correction. You wrote: "It is wrong to believe that faith in Christ is just believing he died to pay for your sins, which he did not." Yet, the Bible says, "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Cor 15:3), and "He is the propitiation [atoning sacrifice] for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 John 2:2), and "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45), and "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us" (Gal 3:13), and "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Cor 5:21). You also suggested that "Works of the law are not attempts to keep the law," yet that is exactly what that phrase means in Scripture. "We know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified" (Gal 2:16). Consider how nonsensical this verse becomes if we assume your definition: "We know that a person is not justified by [sins that disprove faith] but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by [sins that disprove faith], because by [sins that disprove faith] no one will be justified." No one was teaching that we are made right with God by our sin, and that is not what Paul is arguing against here! Blessings, Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots I do respect your level of study, but it is to affirm a doctrine not falsify it, and I as CofE plus KJV in the UK have falsified Christianity. Rob it is not nonsensical for Paul to say in Galatians and Romans that "We know a person is not justified by sins, but through faith in Jesus Christ", a very necessary statement of fact especially in the gospel of salvation Romans. Paul is stating a simple fact sin proves by works or actions a lack of faith, and faith has the evidence of righteousness. "No one was teaching etc", yes they were the Pharisees relied on sacrifices for their dins, and Jesus taught they were hypocrites, repeated by Paul in Romsns 3 and 10. Whe Paul defined the imputation of sin in Romans 3:20, he had previously in Romans 3 preached Isaiah who called out their hypocrisy. Works of the law as Galatians are things done NOT continuing in the 10 commandments. Paul in Romans defined sin and faith, as works very grace. Else please show me where "works of the law" are defined as keeping the law? As believers were justified if they kept the whole law. Go to Romans 3:25 and find Jesus was a propitiation or reconciliation for past sins by grace. 1 Cor 15:3, "for our sins", the cause or purpose was repentance for the remission of sins. 1John 2:2, "the propitiation", not a Greek style sacrifice but Hebrew Hermeneutical as the Mercy Seat, our high priest who can forgive past sins at baptism. Galatians 3:13, Jesus became a curse to defeat the curse, and then being raised hold power over the curse of death by his judgement. 2 Cor 5:2, "become the righteousness", by inherent righteousness under grace, else not justified. I made my videos not for ego but to let Jesus, Paul and John speak in their words.

[@simonskinner1450]

@@TheBiblicalRoots I add that Paul in Gal 2:11 concludes that is is self-evident or unmistakable (delos-Greek) that "no man is justified by the law", which he concludes from Gal 3:10, that "Cursed (under the law of sin and death) is every one that continues NOT in all things in the book of the law (the commandments) to do them". As I say the conclusion is not nonsensical like you say, but he knows he is stating the obvious to people who should know. The law (letter of the law) is not of faith (as faith is when the law of righteousness is written on your heart), as written in Deuteronomy 30, and repeated by Paul in Romans as circumcision of the heart. The reason faith counts for righteousness, is that faith requires inherent righteousness, as defined by Paul in Romans 4:5, "But to him that sins not, but believeth on him (God) that justified the ungodly (past sinners) his faith is counted for righteousness" 'hereafter' teaching. Rob, under the law of Moses believers could either keep God's laws by faith, or by the letter, and there was a remnant under grace fir faith at the time of Jesus, but Jesus came to enlist the Gentiles and the lost sheep of Israel who were the sinners under the law of sin and death.

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

@@simonskinner1450 Hi, Simon. There is no distinction made in the Bible between keeping "God's laws by faith or by the letter." Respectfully, that seems to be an idea of your own invention. In fact, the law of Moses *_can't_* be kept by faith, it must be kept in action. Under the law, the Israelites didn't atone for their sins by faith, but by the blood sacrifices at the temple. They didn't eat kosher by faith, they did so by avoiding the prohibited animals. Same with Sabbath and the feasts; those things were kept by obeying the physical commands that God set forth for them. I agree with you that the Pharisees (and all Jews, actually) relied on sacrifices to atone for their sins. That's what the Torah commanded (Lev 16). But no one was teaching that followers of Jesus are *justified by sin!* That's nonsense. The Judaizers taught that followers of Jesus were justified by _works of the law,_ which means doing the works and rituals that the law required. This is all quite plainly stated in the text. And Paul says time and again that "a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified" (Gal 2:16). Shalom, RLS

[@simonskinner1450]

@@TheBiblicalRoots Greetings Rob, it is I who says the law can be kept by the letter, not works which are sins, a believer is justified if they keep the whole law. Though in Deuteronomy 30 God says he much prefers faith, so the law of Moses CAN be kept by faith and as intended should be. When you ridicule the idea of keeping the law as cursed, I know there is nothing wrong in keeping the law, but that is not works of the law, as my #1 video. Works are sins and bring the curse. There was no atonement for sins in Mosaic Law, as NO OFFERING would satisfy God, not even Jesus who was a man. The Pharisees did not accept Jesus, so why would followers of Jesus be taught they are justified by sin? That would be nonsense, but it was the Pharisees called out by Jesus as hypocrites that taught sin and sacrifice, hence the confession of Paul in Romans 7 who sinned as a Pharisee. Eugh! You are upside down, the Jews (you call Judaizers) actually taught that you must not sin, its all in Galatians, as they sought Peter the sinner. The fact that they were hypocrites did not stop them enforcing the law. Please read Galatians 3:10 again, works of the law is not keeping the things (letter) in the law, that is sin as Romans 3:20. The Reformation is counter-intuitive because it is opposite to the truth. What! Tell me where it says in the NT where that "works of the law, which means doing the works and rituals that the law required"????? ????? My friend, Paul defines the imputation of sin in Romans 3:20, not just the (gnosis) knowledge of sin, but epignosis in Greek meaning the experiential knowledge of sin. Again watch my #1 Ytube video 'Myths in so-called Christianity', in it Paul proves works are sin, and faith is equivalent to grace as Romans 11:6.

Matthew 10:5; 28:18-20; Acts 15:1-35. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, the promised Seed of Abraham, the Son of David, the much awaited King of Israel since the exile of Jechoniah and the massacre of all his seed (save the ancestor of Salathiel, the father of Zerubbabel- who was born in captivity, who, like Nehemiah, were just governors, not king of Judah, because the land was in captivity for 70 years). Jesus Christ came to seek and save the Lost Israel who hadn't been observing the law as commanded. They were living in idolatry as other nations were. Thus, according to God's timing, He sent the Messiah to establish the kingdom so God could live in their midst as Immanuel and to fulfill His promise to David's house. Genesis 49:10. (Despite the fact that they read and recite this every day in the temple). They rejected Him - both as Son of God and King of Israel. He had to die so that the rest of the world- which hitherto had nothing to do with God Ephesians 2:12, could be included in the work of salvation, by grace through faith in His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection John 12:32, as God had concluded all under sin- both Jews and Gentiles, Circumcision and Uncircumcision, and only those who Believe and abide till the end shall be saved, so Jesus Christ died for the whole world, as it is written. Daniel 9:26; Matthew 1:21; Luke 19:10; Ezekiel 34:10-23 etc. The Apostles refused to preach to any other people except the Jews. They only followed Jesus's command in Matthew 10:5, because of the power it gave them, and ignored the updated command of 28:18-20. They even commanded other gentiles who come to them to have to be circumcised in order to be accepted- thus making void the command of Christ and replacing it with their own doctrines. Acts 15. Peter even resorted to casting lots by divination, to justify replacing Judas according to the scriptures- which they picked and chose to suit them, rather than be obedient to the command of Jesus Christ for them to "tarry in Jerusalem " until He sends the Holy Spirit of Promise. Instead they all scattered, doing their own thing, going to Emmaus; going fishing etc. Thus He had to first go look for them and gather them back into the fold, to fulfill the scripture " strike the Shepherd..." Zechariah 13:7; Matthew 26:31. Jesus Christ had already prepared and gave a deferred calling to the 12th desciple- the Apostle Paul Luke 18:22, and He got him working in due time Acts 9. Paul had to but heads with the rest of the desciples- now led by James, the half brother of Jesus Christ, and also Peter Acts 15; Galatians 2, to remind them that the law, had nothing to do with grace. Those who receive Christ as Messiah, Lord and Savior, do so without any works- either to kill an animal, pay a fee or tithes, prove to them that they will definitely follow the exigencies of the law- which was only for Israel Romans 9:4-5, and even then, they couldn't follow it through. Thus Grace and the law run parallel to each other- whosoever is justified by the law cannot receive grace from God. They have to remain bound by it until they die! Yeah- those who observe the law must eventually die for the law to let go of them. But grace gives those who receive Christ by FAITH in His sacrificial work of salvation, the promise of eternal life. As long as they believe, and abide in His fold till He returns as promised, they cannot and will not die John 8:51; Luke 9:27. If they stopped to believe, they're immediately outside of grace. Galatians 3 is reminding them just about this. Abraham is the father of faith- thus everyone who has faith in God receives the same grace and imputed righteousness of God through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ wouldn't minister to any Jews, but will attribute the faith of Abraham to them, then minister to their needs Luke 13:16-24; Mark 2:5; Luke 8:48. ( Because the world was in the hand of Satan, the accuser of the brethren, who would go to God to accuse Jesus Christ for setting his captives free, and would be justified, so Jesus justified this by getting them into the faith of their ancestors, Abraham). Galatians 3:6-8. He redeemed all who would believe from the curse of the law- death, by dying, and that on a tree to fulfill the scriptures and make all who believe gain access to the blessing, by faith. The blessing of Abraham is for His Seed, and its progenitors - both Jews and Gentiles, as long as they have FAITH. Hebrews 11:6. Therefore, everyone who has faith till the end, shall be saved. Matthew 24:13; Hebrews 10!

[@teamrecon2685]

How is an unrighteous sinner made right with God? It is by faith. It was always by faith. It is not by works. Not by some works, ceremonial works, nice works, dietary works, or philanthropic works. Abraham was justified by faith before he was circumcised, and before Moses. Centuries before. He was a pagan who God mercifully reached through eternity and saved...not because Abraham earned anything, but rather for the Glory of the Lord.

So, if we PUT HIM ON, doesn’t that mean we should do the same??? [28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal 3:28)] This is an extension of Paul’s words to the Corinthians: 19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God (Torah - which includes circumcision). (1 Cor 7:19) Obviously, he's not speaking about the physical act here, but rather, ethnicity...those of the circumcision (Yahudim) with their pursuance of what we would term Oral Law, today...versus gentiles. So, let’s rewrite Gal 3:28 to reflect this understanding: 28 Through Messiah Yeshua, all are grafted into true Israel irrespective of race, gender, or religious heritage (see v29). (Gal 3:28 REWRITE) [29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's SEED, and heirs according to the PROMISE. (Gal 3:29)] 29 If you belong to Messiah, then you are counted among Abraham’s SEED, and inherit the same PROMISE as the others of true ISRAEL. (Gal 3: 29 REWRITE) 23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and GLORIFIED HIMSELF IN ISRAEL. (Is 44:23) Shalom

I feel like these HR people really just make the law their god and they cant even keep it. so their faith is in themselves and no flesh is justified by the law so its just a waste of their time. So sad. This is why theres going to be people in heaven you'd never expect to be there and people in hell you'd never expect would be there either.

[@ForgedinTruth]

Is there a verse that says “if your not able to keep even one of the laws, then you don’t have to keep any”? By you comment I see that you don’t know what the law /commands/ right rulings/ statutes are. Maybe you should read them and to fact check if their applicable to your daily walk. If the law is the Word of God and is God and Jesus is God and in the beginning the Word was made flesh then your right that people are making the Torah their God cause Jesus is the Torah.

Genesis 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. Offspring: 1. a person's child or children. 2. the immediate descendants of a person or organism. As the Genesis verses states : and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant…… Their generations…………this shows that many…….your verse is false and a lie! Genesis 21:12 But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. Genesis 15;18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, Genesis 15:5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” This one is my favorite……..it really gives your argument and verse a light of falsehood! Many not one……… Commandment 10 Do not covet…………..either become or don’t take what is not yours!

8 For he finds fault with them when he says:3 g“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. 10 hFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and iwrite them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall jall know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, kand I will remember their sins no more.” 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete.

Solberg at timeline 0 : 40 seconds in your video where you build up your case of The Context of the book of Galatians. You stated this book is actually a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the churches in Galatia. We I agree most translation do say church, and you did mention an example of some ambiguity regarding a date and the intended audience. I would like to point out, when ever we say church, it’s always understood under the assumption we are speaking in the context of a Christianity Church of Gentiles . Yes we all know church in the original language just meant assembly. So to the assembly in Galatia. I would like your audience to know that the intended context of the audience may not be new gentile believers, but in fact the group mentioned in the following verses to be scattered among the Gentiles “The House of Ephraim” also known as the House of Israel, but not the Israel of Jews today known as the House of Judah. But in actuality the ten lost tribes after the Kingdom split after Solomon Son became king. Here is an example of another church seen way back... Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the (church) assembly. Deuteronomy 9 : 10 To help your audience understand another point of view of the context of Galatians. Which, if the following is true then the intended audience is truly important, which changes the outcome of the story if Galatians is not new Gentiles in the faith. But are in fact the ten lost tribes believers in Yahushua (Jesus) Ha (The) Messiah. Genesis 48 : 17-20 17 Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.” 19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations.” 20 So he blessed them that day, saying, “By you Israel will bless, saying, ‘May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!’” And thus, he set Ephraim before Manasseh. Isaiah 11 : 12 He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. Matthew 10 : 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (The House of Ephraim and Not the House of Judah the Jews) Matthew 15 : 24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (The House of Ephraim and Not the House of Judah the Jews) James 1 : 1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are *scattered* abroad: Greetings. (Meaning both the remaining Jews in Persia and the ten tribes among the nations) 1 Peter 1 : 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as strangers, *scattered* throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen διασπορά diasporá, dee-as-por-ah' from G1289; dispersion, i.e. (specially and concretely) the (converted) Israelite resident in Gentile countries:-(which are) scattered (abroad). 😊😊😊

Any day of the calendar can be used for good or evil. I, like Rob, celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th. Non-believers celebrate something else on that day. Just like owning a car…you can use it for good, (ie. get to work, visit loved ones etc…or you could run someone over and kill them). God knows what’s in your heart.

Follow Messiah Yeshua not man’s teaching. Read Mathew 7:21-23 as a start then dig from there. Do what Messiah said. If what Mr. Solberg teaches is true. Jesus of Nazareth and Paul are false prophets, Deuteronomy 13:2

[@TheBiblicalRoots]

Hi, Tim! The problem with your claim about Deut. 13:2 is that neither Jesus nor Paul led people to follow other gods. They both pointed people to the God of Israel! For example: "And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they *glorified the God of Israel"* (Matt. 15:30-31). And remember the commandment Jesus called "the first and greatest"? It was the Shema! Blessings, Rob

Q-“Why don’t we follow the law of Moses anymore? “ A-“Because an Orthodox Jewish rabbi named Paul said so.” Q-“I thought rabbis were bad, and just the opinions of men and not God?” A-“Well this one is good because he believed Jesus was God and Jesus told him that he didn’t have to follow God’s laws anymore.” Q-“Huh?” A-“you see Paul heard the voice of Jesus while he was walking on a road with a couple of friends, and this voice commanded him to go to the city and wait for further instructions.” Q-“Did his Jewish friends hear this too?“ A-“No. they probably saw the light but didn’t hear anything.” Q-“I’d love to read about their experience. It must have been pretty powerful.” A-“Well they weren’t named and they never wrote about it. That we know of.” Q-“So even Paul, a Rabbi doesn’t have to follow the Law anymore because Paul alone heard a command from God that said he didn’t have to follow the commandments from God?” A-“Well he didn’t tell him not to follow the law till a bit later but you’re on the right track.” Q-“…and so Paul was a good Orthodox Jewish teacher then? A-“YES! but he also killed people to but that was before he decided to be good!” Q-“I’m so confused. Didn’t the snake convince humans that they didn’t have to follow even a single commandment from God and that it would make them more mature creations maybe even become like God?” A-“Yup. And that’s why we as all need Jesus who is God.” Q-“So you’re telling me that Paul became good when he started teaching like the snake?” A-“WAIT. NO! That’s not what I’m saying. Paul taught that we are all saved by faith and not by works. Q-“So let me see if I got this. If Adam would have just had faith….He could eat all the apples he wanted, even though there was a commandment?” A-“Let me start all over again.”

[@sundownsam3369]

Rob Solberg, in Deuteronomy 4:2, I agree that God is talking to the Jews, and though it applies to the foreigners of the land as well, he is talking to the Jews. Tell me, who was Yeshua talking to, the Gentiles? You continue to speak ambiguously and confusedly. As previously stated, you speak double-mindedly. Again, the word double-minded comes from the Greek word dipsuchos, meaning "a person with two minds or souls," and it also refers to being split in half, vacillating like a "spiritual schizophrenic." The word dipsuchos appears to reflect a person as having one soul directed toward God and the other toward Satan; one soul inclined to exalt God and the other inclined to turn away from God. What you were insinuating in Deuteronomy 4:2, is that because God was talking to the Jews and not the Gentiles, the law does not apply to the Gentile believers, right? Now, if you believe that Yeshua is God, then God spoke to the Jews in the Brit-Chadashah, right? 1) Can you see how you want nothing to do with the God of the Talnakh but want everything to do with the God of the Brit-Chadashah? 2) Can you see how the word "dipsuchos" fits you, vacillating like a "spiritual schizophrenic"? Let me make this clear: YOU ARE A FALSE PROPHET and are introducing a new cult called TORAHISM, a cult that wants nothing to do with the God of Israel. Read Luis post, it appears to be a direct message to you though he is warning others about you.

For all of you who have received a cup of kool-aid from Rob, I suggest you examine it before you accept it. What Rob is teaching is contrary to the word of God. And I will prove it to you, but don't take my word for it. Examine as the Bereans did before accepting anything Paul said.. At 17:39 minutes into his debate with Tovia, Rob said the following: He quotes Rabbi Maomonides on Deuteronomy 13:2-4 exposition in the Mishneh Torah. He says if a prophet can substantiate his claim by miracle and proof, Israel must obey him, but if the prophet seeks to discredit the teaching of Moses, we know for certain he's a false prophet. a) Rob, explain what a false prophet is. b) Rob claimed that Jesus was resurrected by the God of Israel, and yet he said that Jesus is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. How does that work? (c) Rob teaches that the instructions of God are permissible but not required. Read point "a" before you accept the kool-aid cup. d) When asked about Deuteronomy 4:2, he would not give an answer, because he believed that God was only talking to the Jewish people when it came to substracting or adding to the scriptures. If that is the case, then no gentiles can take hold of any promises or blessings that are quoted in the Tanakh because God is only talking to the Jewish people. Also, no gentiles should be participating in the bread and wine given by the Messiah since Yeshua was only talking to the Jewish disciples and people that he was ministering to. e) Rob stated in the video that the Messiah did not abolish the law, but rather fulfilled it. If you understand the Greek word pleroo, it does not bring an end to something that has no end. Rob believes forever doesn't mean eternal, it means for a period of time. He would be partially correct. But when does that period of time end? Yeshua said until heaven on earth passes away, not one title or jot should pass away from the instructions of God. Matthew 5:18. Remember the words Yeshua said in Matthew 5:17? "Do not think." Are you thinking about abrogating the instructions of God? f) If God's instructions are done away with, then you must ask yourself the question: what new covenant did Yeshua inaugurate and place in your heart as the book of Hebrews explicitly tell us what the new covenant is? Torahism is cult teaching to get believers in Messiah to rebel against God's instructions. Proverb 28:9 says, "He who turns away his ear from listening to the Torah"instructions", even his prayer is an abomination. Read it for yourselves. So, my fellow believers, are you going to listen to Rob, who is telling you that the instruction of God is "not required" and you should not obey God's instructions, or are you going to obey Gods word, who is sending you a message through His words? My name is Luis Cajigas, I am saved by grace, and not by the Law. But I do defend God's eternal words.

Paul does not preach "against" the law, Gideon. He says, "The law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good" (Rom. 7:12)). He describes the law's God-intended purpose.
