Romans 7: 21

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
"captivity to the law of sin"

law of God

law of sin

No wonder you have the doctrine you do....

Look if your faith is in something else than the work of the cross then sin reigns in your life. These keeping this and that makes you feel good, but the only thing that will unplug the sin nature is the cross and nothing else.

The question my friend is where is your faith, in keeping these feast or in the saving work of the cross? If your faith is in the cross you have kept the feast and the Sabbath. The just shall live by faith, faith in what? The work of the cross and nothing else.
Well the cross did no work, the Messiah did.

My faith is in anything Yahweh says.

My faith is the Yahweh has offered mankind mercy through the blood of Yahshua Messiah, and I gladly accept and need that mercy, my faith is in the fact that since such a great mercy is offered I want to do the will of Yahweh as taught by Yahshua the Messiah.

It is possible to have faith in mercy bought by the blood of Messiah and believe I shouldnt steal, kill, lie, and that I should spend the appointed times with Yahweh as He commands.

What is not of faith is sin (Rom. 14).
The Law is not of faith (Gal. 3).
Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11).
-JGIG
Are you saying that all the instructions that God has given us are sinful?

Scripture is trying so hard to explain to you that when you perform something of the law, it needs faith to make it effective.

An example is given in Isaiah. People had been told to sacrifice animals, they were told that in the same way we are told to go to Christ for forgiveness of sins. It was atonement, different, but a shadow. People who worshipped Baal sacrificed also, they did it for an entirely different reason. When the sacrifice they had been told about was done in the same way and for the same reasons that idol worshippers did, without any faith or love, they were told that sacrifice was hated.

Without faith, it is truly impossible to please God, but it is impossible to please God if you won't listen to Him. Gal. and Rom. are trying their best to explain something to you, but it isn't against law, it is how to use it correctly.

I know they don't, and can't. The entire Torah is in a blind area of people's eyesight, God used people to show it to us who lived so long ago that know one understands any more. That is why God brought the deep sea scrolls to the surface for us, why the roots movement was opened up after the 1950's. It has to do with the last days, and most people are blind to it. Some of the movement is misused.


Demons use any people they can to be against any of knowing God better.



Demons were against the printing press, or the thought that people needed an intimate relation to God that the Catholic church at that time did not want to happen. Demons are against anyone knowing God the Father more intimately, in the same way. They will even try to corrupt some of the churches of this movement.

Scholars in our best theological colleges are teaching this, as they have learned through knowing the world of the ancient Hebrews. We are heading fast for the last days, but in the last days of evil, there is also a remnant growing closer to the Lord.

Learning God's way of seeing work is part of the answers that the HRM is bringing out. Exactly what it can't do, and what it can do.

18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. (from Heb. 7)

You refuse to see what God has clearly communicated to you in the Scriptures.

A better hope has been introduced, by which we draw near to God. The New Covenant.

Hiz, first of all you must understand that it is not about you it's about the message, lets get that straight, I hate no one. The message I present is the message of the cross. The one that saves, delivers and sets free. The law was given to sinful people, in fact it was grace, It was God's way of saying well if you want believe in me, then at least follow these rules and they couldn't follow those rules. I meant, look, They had the glory of God with them as a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of Fire by night. Their shoes didn't wear out, they didn't get sick, food was provided every morning and they had no law. But, because if their unbelief the law was given. Obeying or better said faith in law is unbelief and allows Satan to hold you captive legally. Faith in the cross, gives the Holy Spirit the legal right to produce fruit in you and through you. To place faith in anything else is failure and that is what Satan wants.

No one at any time in any way has said anyone has "no need of Christ." How is it that you guys have law like a broken record in your minds? The HRM is about scripture, it is you guys who are about law. You should study it so you get the facts about it. You have learned it won't save, it shows a need for Christ, you have a little knowledge of it. It would be a good idea if you learned what those instructions in living that God gives are for and when to use them. It comes at the end of what you need to know, not, as you guys are doing, putting it at the beginning.

The entire chapter 7 of Hebrews is about the priesthood after the order of the Melchizedek (Malak Zadiq)

If isolated it can apper to be talking about the Law of Yahweh but when read in context it is talking about abolishing the Levitical priesthood, as the Jews still retained the "Levitical priesthood" until the destruction of the temple, and the writer of Hebrews was telling them the human priesthood was but a placeholder for the true intent, the High Priest Yahshua Messiah.

Do we believe Scripture?

Yeremyah 16:19-21, "O Yahweh, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles will come to You from the ends of the earth, and will say: Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies and vanity; worthless, powerless gods of no use at all! Do men make gods for themselves? Yes, but they are powerless! Therefore behold, I will make them to know--this time I will teach them My power and might; and they will know that My Name is Yahweh!"

Zecharyah 8:23, "This is what Yahweh of hosts says: In those days ten men, out of all languages of the nations, will take hold of the tzitzit
on the tallit of him who is a Yahdai, saying; We will go with you, for we have heard that Yahweh is with you."
Yep. A set of wonderful Messianic prophecies =o).

Redtent, you and those with you are the ones putting down God and His Christ. the N.T. over rides all the O.T,. You can not quote Jesus to see His New Cov., the New Cov. in Jesus blood is not put into effect until, He, the maker died. You are a shame to Jesus and His new Cov.. Jesus gave a taste of his new cov.. only. The nation of Israel is ashamed of Jesus and will reinstate the blood sac. in the new temple to be built before Jesus returns to earth; And when Jesus returns it will be with "sudden destruction" to the nation of Israel and the world at large. There will not be any blood sacrifices in the millennial reign of Christ. The sacrifices will be bloodless, praise and thanksgiving.to Jesus. This is my humble opinion. All the feasts of the old Cov. are fulfilled, done forever. What Jesus does at his coming is to make Israel bow to Him who fulfilled all the feasts. the feast are an abomination to God now. And the ABOMINATION of DESOLATION will be used of GOD to execute just judgment upon Israel, God is always just in His judgments. Love to all, Hoffco

Keeping feast and traditions state that the cross was not sufficient, no matter what you say. There is no need in it because they were preludes to the cross. Guess what, the cross is the only thing that God will accept anything else and your just spinning your wheels.

Name something else other than the cross that sets men free from sin?

For anyone to say the Messiah words are not still binding is a flat out lie, and I want to say much worse but I will leave it there.

Mattithyah 24:35, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but My teachings will not pass away."

But lets just says for a second that is true, what about this?

The FINAL Scriptural revelation given to mankind and it says 3 times the Law should be kept, and it even specifies what Law...

Revelation 12:17, "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went to make war with those who forsook her seed; her seed being those who keep the Laws of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah."

"Laws" is word #1785 entolé
Definition: an ordinance, injunction, command, law.

Revelation 14:12, "In this manner are the saints purified--by keeping the Laws of Yahweh, (in conformity) with the faith in Yahshua Messiah."

"Laws" is word #1785 entolé
Definition: an ordinance, injunction, command, law.

Revelation 22:12-15, "And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods and everyone who professes to love, yet practices falsehood."

No what you present truly isn't about the cross. It is about law. "they had no law" speaking of the people wandering in the desert.

Did you actually think that God ever, ever, said to follow rules to be saved, that there was ever a time without grace? Are you teaching that? Are you teaching that what the Holy Spirit teaches is not the same as what the law teaches? You are teaching that Christ died for us, good for you, but along with that is teaching what scripture doesn't back up unless you read scripture without looking at every line as from one God, so you understand.

Why do you think I spend hours trying to report scripture? I want the message of the cross given to the world.

It also says, " He who says: I know Him, 1but does not keep His Law, is a liar" But you conveniently left that part out. I guess if that part is ignored upon reading one can create these doctrines.

Love does fulfill the Law, but what is love?

1 Yahchanan 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yahweh: When we love Yahweh by keeping His Laws. For this is the love of Yahweh: That we keep His Law, and His Law is not grievous."



The "NT" is not incorrect, but when people only read Paul and and filter every Scripture through a misunderstanding of his words, I can see how this overall doctrine would be formed. That is why the "churches" virtually only read Paul.

Salvation is not by the Law or any works, Salvation comes from Yahweh alone, yet faith without works is dead. A big misunderstanding comes from hear or believe, in Hebrew shawmah, is not just to hear or believe but to do and obey also. Yet english has no single word that captures this.

I agree the Spirit of Yahweh can lead one to proper walk, yet the Scriptures are there for a reason, for if the spirit that is guiding someone is not guiding in the same principles of the Law of Yahweh that spirit is not of Yahweh.

Isayah 59:21, "As for Me, this is My covenant with them, says Yahweh: My Spirit which is upon you, namely My Word (Instructions) which I have put in your mouth; they will not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, nor from the mouth of your seed's seed, says Yahweh: from this time and forevermore."

Yahchanan 6:63, "It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The Words (Instructions) that I speak to you, they are Spirit, and they are life everlasting."

Fulfilled.

Mattithyah 5:17, "Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least of these Laws, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom of Yahweh; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh."

Has heaven and earth passes away?

No?

Then according to Messiah NOTHING has passed from the Law

Are all things perfected/completed?

No?

Then according to Messiah NOTHING has passed from the Law

" but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh"
According to Messiah, He fulfilled the Law.

Nothing has passed from the Law?

One word: Sacrifices.

Here's two more: Levitical Priesthood.

Feasts were not given in scripture to proclaim the cross not sufficient, that is NOT scripture. Feasts were given as prophecy, the last three are prophecy that hasn't happened yet. Outside of learning from them, and even using them to celebrate, they have nothing to do with the HRM. It does not set man free from sin, no man has ever used them to set themselves free. Does Easter set you free? Would you condemn Easter? If you don't condemn going to church on Easter, don't condemn people for Feasts.

Please go to scripture to find out about these things. Yes, Christ fulfilled. Another was of putting it is completed, made perfect, finished in a complete way. Before was a shadow, and reflection, now complete.

Animal sacrifices now became Christ's blood. "Passed away" is not the correct way of explaining that.
The Levitical Priesthood was a precursor to Christ, and shows what Christ is to us.

When people say that any scripture is unimportant, all passed away, not for us at all, it is not right. We are told that all scripture is given for us.
