However if you study the concrete, as opposed to abstract, nature of the Ancient Hebrew language; you'll see that in concrete terms, it means direction, not unlike the path of an arrow, THE WAY ------->
YHWH is the target; whereas sinning can be defined as "missing."
So when we deviate from YHWH's direction; we lose our way, and miss the target.
Are you talking about ALL the laws written in Exodus and Leviticus - assuming that they're not gender specific?
Those aren't my words. Those are Messiah's words; and as you should know, Messiah's words are YHWH's words.
(CLV) Lk 16:17
Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass by than for one serif of the law to fall.
(CLV) Mt 24:35
Heaven and earth shall be passing by, yet My words may by no means be passing by.
(CLV) Ps 119:160
The sum of Your word is truth, And all of Your righteous ordinances are eonian. (This means forever.)
Do "his precepts" include
Leviticus 19:27,
Leviticus 19:32?
Do "his precepts" include animal sacrifices for sin, or after childbirth,
Leviticus 12, so that the woman can be purified?
There will be sacrifices in the kingdom to come; when the Levitical Priesthood is reassembled.
If they do, how can you reconcile that with Jesus' sacrifice once for all for the sin of the world?
How did Paul reconcile that? Were Paul's sacrifices made by the High Priest himself? The High Priest made the sacrifice for sins that the people of Israel weren't even aware that they made, on Yom Kippur. If we study YHWH's Torah; it helps us to understand who and what Yahshua is and was. After all, the scripture speaks of him.
Again there will be sacrifices in the kingdom to come. We can't make them according to the Torah, without the assembly of the Levitical Priesthood.
If we are in Yahshua we are a new creature. We have died to self. We don't follow our lustful flesh. We are dead to this world; and reborn in him. Was there any sin in him? Has that changed?
(CLV) Hb 10:26
For at our
sinning voluntarily after obtaining the recognition of the truth, it is no longer leaving a sacrifice concerned with sins,
We walk in his truth. YHWH's word is the truth.
You might want to think about that.
Walking as Jesus walked does not mean becoming a Jew, speaking Aramaic or wearing robes and sandals - any more than "taking up your cross" means that you will be physically crucified one day.
There is no law that says you have to wear sandals. Come on!
