You misuse this verse:

We are not righteous by following the Law of the Creator, but the Yahsua showed the intent or ultimate result of keeping the Law of the Creator.

Romans 10:4, "For Christ is the end (telos) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."

Romans 10:4, "For Yahshua is the ultimate result (telos) of the Law unto righteousness for everyone who believes."

1Peter 1:9, "Receiving the end (telos) of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."

1 Kepha (Peter) 1:9, "Receiving the ultimate result (telos) of your faith--the salvation of your souls."

If the its the end of the Law aka Law is done away in Romans 10:4 then faith must also be done away in 1 Kepha (Peter) 1:9. Unless of course telos means the goal.

Greek Dictionary (Lexicon-Concordance) - #5056 telos {tel'-os} from a primary tello (to set out for a definite point or goal)

HELPS Word-studies - 5056 télos (a neuter noun) – properly, consummation (the end-goal, purpose), such as closure with all its results.

James 5:11, "Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end (telos) of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful."

Yaaqob (James) 5:11, "Behold, we regard as blessed those who endure. You have heard of the patience of Iyyob, and have seen the ultimate result (telos) of Yahweh: that Yahweh is very compassionate and merciful."

Please don't ignore this, truth is truth.

Jesus is the end-objective of the Law, likewise salvation is the end-objective of faith in Him. Jesus fulfilled the Law by being, in Himself, the culmination of all that the Law pointed to pictorially and custodially. He is what the Law was only a shadow of. He is the reality of the Law. He is the perfect expression of Gods character, the perfect revelation of Gods Glory.
 
That is a man-made "law-keeping" truth that really exchanges Christ for the law of Moses. It is an anti-Christ belief system that denies the work of Christ. Getting people to live by the law of Moses now that they are in Christ is in fact Judaizing and Paul was vehemently against this as it distorts the gospel of Christ and nullifies the grace of God in people's lives.

The saints have been warned about this religion and they will not desert their Lord Jesus for the law. His life in and through us will fulfill all the intent of the law which is love.

I will leave this with the Lord to handle. Enough has been said for those to see the glorious truth that is in the gospel of the grace of Christ for us. As we have received Christ - so we are to walk in Him. We will not be ship-wrecked in our faith by those that say we are to "observe the law of Moses".

Have a great rest of the day.

I hope you also have a great day sir. I just want to say, I stand on the word:


Mattithyah 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Romans 13:9-10, "For the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bring false testimony, You shall not covet, and all other commandments are summed up in these Laws; namely: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

1 John 5:2-3 (ESV), "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

Isayah 42:21, "YHWH is well-pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to magnify the Law, and make it honorable"

Mattithyah 5:18-19, "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 YHWH; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of YHWH."

Psalm 119:142-144, "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, because Your Law is the truth! Trouble and anguish have overtaken us, but Your Laws are our delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting, giving us understanding, so we may live,"
 
Yes I did answer it, I took your question seriously. I explained more than just that question, but the answer is clearly stated, did you read it? Here it is underlined:

So, it is a sin then to you if we don't keep the Sabbath like "law-keepers" say. This is why this religion is an anti-Christ belief system. It exchanges the work of Christ for the law of Moses.

People are free to observe any day or festival as they wish but when they say that it must be done according to the law of Moses or you are in sin and dis-obeying God - that is perverting the gospel of Christ.

Go, check out "disciplemikes" threads and all these law-keeping fallacies are clearly refuted by the saints. No one is going to fall for this going back to the law of Moses for life and living. It is deserting Christ and it is committing spiritual adultery on our Lord.

I only need to check the word for my doctrine thank you, whoever disciplemike is or if he is right or wrong does not change Scripture.

Also nice picture, but uhh, mmm, what about this?

Revelation 12:17
New American Standard Bible
So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

The Scriptures
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Yah and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.

King James Bible
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
 
These are God's commandments in the New Covenant.

1 John 3:23-24 (NASB)
[SUP]23 [/SUP] This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

[SUP]24 [/SUP] The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

We abide/remain/dwell/stay in Him because we believe in Jesus our Lord and what Christ has done and now we love because He first loved us. It is His love that is being manifested in and through us to a hurt and dying world.

We have a great salvation in Jesus our Lord and it is all by grace through faith that we live in Him!

You may "stand" on the Word, but you are pushing the law and telling peeps they cannot be a follower of Jesus/Messiah unless they become a Jew and start following the Law....

You are just another gentile that was deceived by some other Gentile Judiazer or Rabbi that you had to become all this to Know and Follow Jesus....

Paul fought this corruption in his day and we are fighting now....

Yahshua/Jesus own words:

John (Yahanan) 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."

John (Yahanan) 5:24, "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."

Mattithyah 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of YHWH, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works? But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."

iniquity is:#0458 ἀνομία anomia {an-om-ee'-ah} from G0459

Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
1) the condition of without law
1a) because ignorant of it
1b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

Thayer's (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
From G0459; illegality, that is, violation of law or (generally) wickedness:—iniquity, X transgress (-ion of) the law,
unrighteousness.

Yahshua/Jesus own words:

John (Yahanan) 14:6, "Yahshua proclaimed to him: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, except through Me."

John (Yahanan) 7:16-17, "Yahshua answered, them, and said: My doctrine is not Mine, but His Who sent Me. If any man will do His will, he will know about this teaching--whether it comes from YHWH, or whether I am speaking of My own authority."

Matt 5:18, "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."

Revelation 21:1-2, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, Yahanan, saw the holy city, YHWH Shammah, coming down from YHWH out of heaven, prepared as brides adorned for their husbands. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of YHWH is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and YHWH Himself will be with them, and be their Father.

Mattithyah 19:17, "But He said to him: Why do you question Me about righteousness? There is only One Who is the standard of perfection, and that is YHWH; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of YHWH."

Revelation 12-15, "And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work. I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood."




Paul fought this corruption in his day and we are fighting now....

Paul's own words:

Romans 3:28, "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the Law."

Romans 3:31, "Are we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no means! Rather, we establish the Law!"

Acts 24:14, "But I confess this to you, that after the way which they call heresy--so I worship the Father of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets."

Romans 7:25, "Thanks be to Yahweh, I have deliverance through Yahshua Messiah our King! So then, with this same mind, I myself serve the Law of Yahweh, while in the flesh that is yet subject to the law of sin."

Romans 2:12, "For as many as have sinned without the Law, will also perish without the Law, and as many as have sinned in the Law, will be judged by the Law."

Acts 21:24, "Take them, and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads. Then everyone will know that those things they were informed about you (forsaking the Law), were lies, and that you, yourself, walk orderly, and keep the Law."
 
This is Scriptually wrong, the Promise is not just for ethnic Israel, it is for those in Messiah:

Galations 3:28,29, "Is there not the Yahdai as well as the Greek; Gentile? Is there not the slave as well as the freeman? Is there not the male and the female? For all of you must be in unity in Yahshua Messiah. And if you are in Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise."


that is just what i put.

the promise made to Abraham is not the Law given through Moses.

the promise is not the Law: the Law was given to ethnic Israel, but the promise was for all people.
the covenant by which we were brought into Him is not the covenant of the Law.

OK, I must have misunderstood your words. My apologies, I thought you meant the promise was only to ethnic Israyl. Also the Law is given to Hebrew (Jew) and Gentile alike, is and always was:

Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what YHWH says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying; YHWH has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what YHWH says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which please Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YHWH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer..."

Exodus 12:48-49, "And when a stranger lives among you and wants to sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near, and sacrifice it; and he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. One Law shall be for the nativeborn and for the stranger who dwells among you."

Exodus 12:38 Parallel Verses

The Scriptures
And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and herds, very much livestock.


New International Version
Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

New Living Translation
A rabble of non-Israelites went with them, along with great flocks and herds of livestock.

English Standard Version
A mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds.

New American Standard Bible
A mixed multitude also went up with them, along with flocks and herds, a very large number of livestock.

King James Bible
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.


Gentiles were allowed since the beginning, it was Rabbinical Judaism that said Gentiles were not allowed. But one is only allowed if they do the will of YHWH, so a Gentiles (or Jew) can not go against YHWH and claim a spot in spiritual Israyl. Also allowing Gentiles is in the Law of YHWH from the beginning:

Leviticus 19:34, TS "Let the stranger who dwells among you be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself. For you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt). I am יהוה your Strength."

Leviticus 19:34, ESV "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."

Leviticus 24:22 Parallel Verses
New International Version
You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the LORD your God.'"

New Living Translation
"This same standard applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. I am the LORD your God."

English Standard Version
You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the LORD your God.”

Numbers 15:16 Parallel Verses
New International Version
The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.'"

New Living Translation
The same instructions and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigners living among you."

English Standard Version
One law and one rule shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.”

Yawwwwnnnn....Welcome to ignore...
 
I think he means he is ignoring all the Hebrew roots non-sense. as should we all.
 
I think he means he is ignoring all the Hebrew roots non-sense. as should we all.

I agree about ignoring all the nonsense that is trying to get us to follow the law of Moses for life and living. However I don't think we can lump all Hebrew Roots folks as cut from the same cloth.

I love to hear about how Christ has fulfilled the law as it was a mere shadow of the real thing which is Christ Himself. To see Jesus in the festivals...Sabbath....etc

I love how some Hebrew words even have the message of Christ in them. I read the Old Covenant to see Christ fulfilling all of it and that we Christians are dead to the law, released from the law and not under the law but grace only.

People are free to observe festival, days, Sabbaths..etc how they wish but when they say we must keep the law of Moses ( any part of it ) or we are in sin or dis-obeying God. That is perverting the gospel of Christ and it is in fact being a Judaizer and Paul had some tough words to say about those types that were distorting the gospel.

Paul said this about the Judaizers that came in after to tell Christians they must keep the law of Moses. He did not yield to them for even one hour so that the truth of the gospel might remain with them in Galatia. It will happen here as well.

Galatians 2:3-5 (NASB)
[SUP]3 [/SUP] But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

[SUP]4 [/SUP] But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

[SUP]5 [/SUP] But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
 
All those things say that a Gentile can bring himself under the law and become as a Jew. Not that all Gentiles everywhere are placed under the Law.

Pharisees and Judaisim has it's own law, it is not the Law of YHWH.

Also YHWH says He commanded the Law through Moses, so to put it on Moses as a reason ignore it is error IMO:

Malakyah 4:1-4,"For, behold, the day comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly, will be stubble--the day that comes will burn them up, says YHWH of hosts; and it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who reverence My Name, the light of righteousness will arise with healing in its wings; and you will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall. And you will tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I will do this, says YHWH of hosts. Remember the Law of Mosheh My servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for all Israyl, with the statutes and judgments."


Matt 24:21-2, "For then will be great tribulation, such as has not come to pass since the beginning ofthe world to this time--no, nor ever will be. And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened."

This is future, the day when all evil is destroyed, which will happen after Yahshua's return... Yah says remember... what He commanded...

Matt 5:18, "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."

Revelation 21:1, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea....."

This is also future... If heaven and earth didn't pass neither did the Law....

Isayah 24:1-6, "Behold, YHWH makes the earth empty and makes it waste, perverts the face of it and scatters abroad its inhabitants; And it will be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him who gives usury to him: The land will be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for YHWH has spoken this word. The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant. Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left."


Matt 24:21-2, "For then will be great tribulation, such as has not come to pass since the beginning ofthe world to this time--no, nor ever will be. And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened."
 
All those things say that a Gentile can bring himself under the law and become as a Jew. Not that all Gentiles everywhere are placed under the Law.

Romans 2:12, "For as many as have sinned without the Law, will also perish without the Law, and as many as have sinned in the Law, will be judged by the Law."

Romans 2:14-15, “For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them.”


Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what YHWH says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying; YHWH has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what YHWH says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which please Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YHWH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer.."

It's about being a servant of Yah and going to His holy mountian...

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."
 
It is easy.

The old (which could never make anyone righteous. But was given to lead us to the messiah) Was fulfilled by Christ.

Then the new, Which can make us righteous, took its place.
 
The covenant changed from the Old to the New in this,the life is in the blood,and without the shedding of blood,there is no remission of sins.

It changed from the blood of animals to the sinless man Christ Jesus.

That is the change.

Old Testament,the blood of animals could never take away sins completely,but only cover them,and every year a remembrance of their sins came up,and they had to have all their sins of the past covered again.

Animals are inferior to people,so their blood could never completely wash away sins,so they could not receive the Holy Spirit,so they fell short of completely living up to the two greatest commandments,love God,love people.

They could not live up to the spiritual law,so God had them do physical ordinances that they had the power to keep completely.

New Testament,the man Christ Jesus a sinless man is superior to all other people,so His blood completely washes away sins.

We can then receive the Holy Spirit,and completely live up to the spiritual law,and love God,and love people,perfectly,to have access to the kingdom of God.

That is the change,the blood of animals,could not receive the Spirit,to the blood of Christ,can have the Spirit.

The spiritual law was always there in the Old Testament,and is in the New Testament,but the physical ordinances did not carry over in to the New for they have no bearing on spiritual salvation.

That is why Jesus said a new commandment I give you,that you love one another as I have loved you,but God told them in the Old Testament to love,so how is this a new commandment.

It is a new commandment,because they could not love perfectly in the Old not being able to receive the Spirit,but in the New Testament we can love perfectly by the Spirit,so this is new in the New Testament,for it could not happen in the Old Testament.

Also God allowed Israel to war against her enemies,a concept that does not apply today among the Christians,for God said wars do not come from Him,but from people,and feed,and clothe your enemies,and do not physically,or verbally fight,with people,even if they attack you.

The change of the Old Testament to the New Testament can only happen because of the blood of Christ,for that is the only way our sins can be dealt with,and in the Old the blood of animals,and when the blood of Christ came,then the Old Testament saint's sins were washed away by Jesus.

But the end result is the Holy Spirit,for only by the Holy Spirit can we be saved,and the blood gets us to having the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for the contribution to this thread. I have to say I pretty much agree with you, maybe would word a few things different, but I enjoyed you post!

I just want to add, we also have a perfect High Priest now, as opposed to the Levitical priesthood (which is disbanded).

Psalm 143:10, "Teach me to do your will, for you are my Strength; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground."

Psalm 51:11, "Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me."

Haggai 2:5, "the Word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Mitsrayim, and My Spirit is remaining in your midst, do not fear!"

Hebrews 4:1-15, "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest Who has ascended into the heavens: Yahshua the Son of Yahweh, let us hold fast our profession. For we do not have a High Priest Who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all ways tempted as we are--yet was without sin."

Hebrews 9:11-12, "But the Messiah came near as a High Priest over the righteous things to come, with the great and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;Nor through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once, for all, having obtained eternal redemption."
