Why Wasn't A Law Given By Which One Could Be Righteous?

Many times in Psalm 119 He said He kept the Law and statutes and stated His innocence. He also said the law was His delight over and over. He took an oath and confirmed it to obey the law in the passage i pointed out earlier.

His pleas for life was on the basis of the promise in the Law and His obedience. He still needed to be saved from His sacrificial death that He suffered to save us. It had not happened yet and His faith was in the promise of life in the law. He asked for Life and was raised so He could continue to praise His Father.

Psalm 21 is the Holy Spirit speaking to the Father about Yahshua in verses 1 through 7. He says that YAH gave Yahshua His heart's desire which is life. That explains the multiple pleas for Life in Psalm 119 by the Man Who fully kept the law by giving His life for us. His Father heard His prayers and raised Him from the dead according to the promise of Life in the Law.

Paslm 21:1-7
1 The King shall joy in Thy strength, O YHVH; and in Thy salvation how greatly shall He rejoice! 2 Thou hast given Him His heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of His lips. Selah. 3 For Thou has met Him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of pure gold on His head. 4 He asked life of Thee, and thou gavest it Him, even length of days for ever and ever. 5 His glory is great in Thy Salvation: honour and majesty hast Thou laid upon Him. 6 For Thou hast made Him most blessed for ever: thou hast made Him exceeding glad with Thy countenance. 7 For the King trusteth in YHVH, and through the mercy of the most High He shall not be moved.

He had NO DEBT, therefore He was required to PAY NOTHING -
as it is written:
ROMANS 6:23,
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Christ DIED for OUR 'sins', not His, because He had NONE -
therefore, DEATH had NO power over Him...

yes, .....a Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.....

Isaiah 53:4-12

Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of Elohiym, and afflicted

But He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and YHVH hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of My people was He stricken.

And He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.

Yet it pleased YHVH to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of YHVH shall prosper in His hand.

He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The perfect Lamb of YAH

Psalm 119 speaks of meditating on what is written. The law does show sin to the one meditating, but when mixed with faith in grace through sacrificial blood, it changes the soul. Not heart...soul of man. The thinking.

There has always been grace. But, it’s two different types. The first is God bending down in kindness to man or the Superior being to the inferior.

Grace through Jesus Christ is the inward work of Holy Spirit creating Sons in His image. Perfect in position but soul needing to become one with Spirit.

And this all has to be in His perfect timing.

when He weeps over Jerusalem it's for their sins, not His. He does not err.



as at arriving to raise Lazarus, where He declares He is the Resurrection and the Life. He's not weeping for Himself, but for us.

It is Yahshua. In the volume of the book it is written of Him. He came to do YAH's will.

Stop looking at who the law was given to.
It drives me crazy when Christians talk about the law not being given to them as if it's completely alien to Christianity.
It has a function. More than one even. Examine that, not who it belongs to.

Trusting God, or not, the cross was agony to Christ, just as it would be to anybody.

"For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners (at the cross), so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood (Christ did)." - Hebrews 12:2-4

For the sake of your argument, it looks like because he was trusting God the cross was agony to Him. He resisted the temptation to cut and run and take revenge on those who were hurting him to the point of shedding his blood. His obedience to God is what made the cross agony to Him.

Prophecies sometimes are a mix of the present and the prophetic, a mix of the prophet himself and the Messiah. We see what is prophetic and what applies to Jesus and what is not prophetic and does not apply to Jesus. I personally don't have any problem with that. Consider Ananias who didn't even know he was prophesying.

I discarded years ago the common Christian thinking that everything has to be either black or white.

yes all of it is testimony of Him. but that doesn't mean every word of every psalm is Him speaking or praying, or in particular any one psalm. for example He is not even the one all of Psalm 22 is about.

it is clear, the one speaking in Psalm 119 is not without sin; the man Christ Jesus is.
the record of Moses' life is a testimony of Christ but every action of Moses is not Christ's action. it is more likely that this is a psalm of Moshe than of Yahshua. it prefigures and speaks of the Lord, but the Lord is not in need of being saved from anything. He is come a man and He is never not God. no one takes His life from Him; He lays it down and takes it up again.

Psalm 40 is a Messianic Psalm. The writer of Hebrews quotes it in chapter 10 starting in verse 4.....

Hebrews 10
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do thy will, O Elohiym.

That quote comes from Psalm 40 which says.....

Psalm 40
6 Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not desire; Mine ears hast Thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me,
8 I delight to do Thy will, O My Elohiym: yea, Thy law is within My heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained My lips, O YHVH, Thou knowest.
10 I have not hid Thy righteousness within My heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation: I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou Thy tender mercies from Me, O YHVH: let Thy lovingkindness and Thy Truth continually preserve Me.

It is clearly Messiah speaking. The writer of Hebrews tells us it is Messiah.

In the next verses He says this.....

12 For innumerable evils have compassed Me about: Mine iniquities have taken hold upon Me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of Mine head: therefore My heart faileth Me.
13 Be pleased, O YHVH, to deliver Me: O YHVH, make haste to help Me.

He says His iniquities have take hold of Him. How could Messiah say that? How could Psalm 40 be Messiah speaking? Because He took our sins upon Himself as if they were His own. Psalm 40 is Messiah speaking all the way through and confessing our sins as His own in the verse above even though in a previous verse He said "I delight to do Thy will, O My Elohiym: yea, Thy law is within My heart."

He finishes Psalm 40 with this.

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after My soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish Me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto Me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love Thy salvation say continually, YHVH be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Adonay thinketh upon Me: thou art My help and My deliverer; make no tarrying, O My Elohiym.

It is Yahshua praying in Psalm 40 just as it is Him praying through Psalm 119. He took our sins upon Himself and bore our guilt. Isaiah 53 tells us that. The sacrifices in the law show us that as the writer of Hebrews 10 says at the start of the chapter.

Psalm 22 is Messiah speaking from beginning to end.

Psalm 119 is Messiah speaking.
Psalm 40 is Messiah speaking.

We can learn and gain understanding from what He says.

you sure about that? have you looked, or just parroting your rabbi?
