which is what Jesus states but even though I may not murder my neighbour, steal from him, lie to him, covet his belongings or sleep with his wife I may still harbour hate for him in my heart. the former keeps the 10 but the latter breaks the whole thing. NT writers reveal that it is the focus of latter, which is love for neighbour, that fulfills the former, not the other way around. (Rom 13:8-10, Gal 5:14). So our focus should be the latter under Christ, not the former. In this way we don't throw out circumcision we embrace it's true meaning, we don't throw out Sabbath or the 10, we embrace their true meaning, all under Christ. The product of which is a transformed heart, not merely a change of action.
How is it that all the people wanting to tells us about the Torah cannot understand that the Torah is spiritual and supernal? Even the commandment to honor your father and your mother is deeper than your physical father and mother and rather includes your heavenly Father and your heavenly Mother, whom Paul expounds for us by the scripture in Galatians 4 where he quotes from the Prophet Yeshayah, a passage that reveals that the typology of Yerushalem of above, (our mother-covenant), is the Mishkan-Tabernacle of the Torah.
Please note that the last verse in this quote is Yeshayah-Isaiah 54:1.
Galatians 4:22-27 KJV
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free,
which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
[Isa 54:1]
Paul was not a cherry-picker: he surely intends the context surrounding what he quotes from in Gal 4:27.
Isaiah 54:1-3 KJV
1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
[Gal 4:27]
2 Enlarge the place of
thy tent, and let them stretch forth
the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen
thy cords, and strengthen
thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left;
and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
The symbolism is undeniable: the tent, the curtains, the cords, the stakes, all of these things are related to the Mishkan-Tabernacle, which is used in the imagery for Yerushalem, (of above), which Paul says is our mother, (mother-covenant, according to the Gal 4 passage quoted above herein).
Honoring your father and your mother therefore includes your heavenly Father and your heavenly Mother, and your heavenly Father says this:
Exodus 23:14-17 KJV
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: ( thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: )
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
And of course all three feasts mentioned in the above passage would come to be observed at Yerushalem, the place where the Father chose to place His Name, and all three feasts were observed from the beginning at the Mishkan-Tabernacle and then at Yerushalem which represents the Tabernacle, our symbolic Mother(Covenant), at the Temple which was the logical progression of the stationary version of the wilderness Mishkan-Tabernacle of the Torah.
Note the words Paul uses in the following statement to uphold the supernal Torah:
1 Corinthians 5:6-8
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Nothing is countermanded or separated/ignored or done away with.
The problem lies in the fact that the natural mind cannot please Elohim, (Rom 8:1-8).
Such people do not even believe the writings of Paul so much as they claim they do.
