Off the Cuff

This isn't what I was planning but when the Father says do this then do it; these are notes I wrote the other day that go with this episode.

Call me crazy, call me fallen from grace, call me a Judaizer, call me whatever your heart desires it won’t offend me. I’ve been doing as the Bereans did and found God’s Law, the Torah, is good, isn’t far from my heart, and brings life just like it says it does in Deuteronomy, the Psalms, and Proverbs. The Apostles even said it brings life and walked it out.

This walk of salvation I’m walking in fear and trembling has brought me to studying history, looking deeper at what Messiah said, learning context, understanding Biblical culture, and lead me to someone who grew up in Orthodox Judaism and left it, which is what Messiah was fighting against during his ministry, and walks out Torah and professes Messiah loudly and proudly. He fights against what is now called the Talmud, which is the oral law that Messiah fought against, that Orthodox Jews claim is above the Word of God and we know that’s not the case.

This I do know, the modern day church is following in the footsteps of Ephraim/Israel under Jeroboam and doing violence to the word by claiming its dead, done away with, and nailed to the cross without actually studying it and digging into history and culture of the Bible then it just makes stuff up. If we were being honest and actually studying the Epistles of Paul and teachings of Messiah in context from understanding the Torah and the prophets we would see more clearly but we’ve allowed the very wall the Jews built in the temple to keep the Gentiles out to remain standing and the hatred towards each other is growing deeper and deeper.

We aren’t called to be Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, non-Denominational, Messianic Jews, Christians, or any other name you can throw out there. We are called to be followers of Messiah which means we do what Messiah taught and did and from reading what he taught and did and seeing Isaiah 42:21, Matthew 22:37-40, Luke 16:17, and Matthew 5:17-21 know he magnified Torah and brought deeper meaning to it not abolish it. I’ve pulled these from the Peshitta Bible because they say the same thing as your Bible but with greater depth and understanding.

21The LORD was pleased, for his righteousness’ sake,

to magnify his law and make it glorious. Isaiah 42:21

17Do not think that I have come to revoke The Written Law or The Prophets; I am not come to revoke but to fulfill. 18Amen, I say to you that until Heaven and earth will pass away, one Yodh or one Taag and will not pass away from The Written Law until everything will happen. 19Everyone therefore who violates one of these small commandments and will teach thus to the children of men will be called small in the Kingdom of Heaven, but everyone who will do and will teach the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

20For I say to you, that unless your goodness will exceed that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 5:17-20

37Yeshua said to him, “You shall love THE LORD JEHOVAH your God from all your heart and from all your soul and from all your power and from all your mind.” 38“This is the great and the first commandment.” 39“And the second which is like it is, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40On these two commands depend all The Written Law and The Prophets.”

Matthew 22:37-40
