If we follow the Mosaic law, then why did Christ die? Judaizers mock themselves as they prance about with two yokes on, the yoke of Mosaic law and the yoke of grace. By obeying a single obsolete law they mock and demean the death of Christ.
Christ died because of the Mosaic Law. Surprised?
God divorced the house of Israel. Jesus said He came only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and then later says he come for other sheep not of that fold. God's very own law (Deuteronomy 24:1-4) prevents God from taking the house of Israel/Ephraim back after He divorced her for adultery. For the ages this was a mystery how God through the prophet Jeremiah spoke of a new covenant with God's laws written on their hearts could take place. The prophet Ezekiel was called to speak of "rejoining the house of Israel/Ephraim and the house of Judah (a split kingdom of two kingdoms) back into one kingdom. (Ezekiel 37:15-28).
There was a way that God would not have to break His very own law (Deut. 24:1-4). That was preplanned before any scriptures or prophecy were ever recorded. Immanuel (God with us) came to earth in flesh and human nature. He left His divine God-nature, to temporarily come and live among us, to teach and preach the coming of the Kingdom of God/Heaven that will be on planet Earth. But first, He had to die for sins. Not just for the Jews, or just for the House of Israel, or not just for gentiles, but He came for all people.
I examined the doctrine of Universalism and yes, there are many scriptures that say all will be saved, but in view of the many other scriptures, this all does not mean every single human being, nor does it mean every single Jew or Israelite. It means all that the Father draws to Jesus will be saved. Grace is the free gift of our debt of sin has been paid with the proper wages of death by Christ for us. Even faith to accept grace is not of our own choosing. This too is a gift.
Judaizers are not mocking or demeaning the death of Christ. For most who understand that belief and obedience and unbelief and disobedience and that grace evidenced by works, is how the Kingdom is to be run. A King, A land, A peoples, and A Law.
The question many Christians have is which laws? You obey which ever one applies to you. Period. But you do have to hear or read them so that the Holy Spirit can work in you. It is a matter of always praying without ceasing, LORD, your will and not mine or man-made traditions or doctrines that you do not approve of because they nullify your Truths, and your Laws. Your will, on earth as it is in heaven.
The so called Judaizers are actually Watchmen on the wall. They are crying out to the Christians who reject God's perfect and holy unchanging laws. We know time is short and we are approaching the end of this 6th day (millenium). Christ will return just as He promised He would. It is not a matter of if, but when. Are you prepared to serve in the Kingdom? Have you exercised God's laws in this realm? Will you be found a good and faithful servant of all that the Master has left you in charge of? Or have you discarded much truth in place of man-made traditions and doctrines.
For me, call me a Judaizer. Call me a watchman. But don't ever say I am not of God and His family. I am going to be a bride and the bridegroom is Yeshua/Jesus. Whether I will be asleep or alive when the bridegroom comes, we don't know. We take one day at a time in the LORD.
May we all grow in the grace of our LORD and Saviour. Shalom.
