I'm not sure that I understand your reasoning here

I do believe that the law of Moses is not abolished (yet)

Technically the law will judge sinners

But I believe yahshua fulfilled the law for his people and setting them free from bondage...

People who sinned against the law owed a debt....a lamb was killed instead to pay the debt to the law....

In yahushua the law is paid for ...a man no longer has to remain a servant to the law and is able to remarry...to chose another master ...Jews are free to make a new covenant with yahshua and are set free from moses..

As far as I know ...gentile s were never under the old covenant.....yet yahshua offered his new covenant to us ....we are free to serve him ...not bound by any covenant ...

We were loammi and we became his people ...not by Moses ...but by yahshua

Forgive my ignorance..I'm a simple man

The law judges those who seek to be made righteous through observing the law. It also only applies to those who the law was given. Or do gentiles need to remember how they were redeemed out of Egypt? Obviously not, because God redeemed the nation of Israel OUT OF the nation Egypt (which represents all the nations of the world). We are commanded never to forget how God redeemed us from Egypt. Was this command given to ....the Canannites as well?

The law given Moses will be used to judge those who seek to be made righteous by following it. And of course not one soul will be saved by doing so. This law is not used to judge the nations, as it was never given to them to be 'under'. It will only judge those who seek to be 'under' it. And all those will perish, having not the 'faith' that produces 'life'.

The nations who were never given it will not be judged by it, but by Yeshua himself, whom they reject. The rest who believe, Jew or Gentile will never be judged because they have already been accounted as righteous by God because of the faith we placed in the Words of God about Messiah Yeshua, AND is proved by the way we 'love' another 'in Messiah'. And proved by the supernatual Spirit that dwells within us in power. (healing, prophesies, teachings.....)

A simple man is a blessing and honor to engage with. No forgivness is needed. I can appreciate what you have just said.

I believe what you have said....I just done see the how one can follow Moses and yahshua at the same time

Unless one keeps the laws in thier hearts without condemning as the law of Moses requires....but I define that as disobeying Moses law....

Here is a simple question to ponder in relation to this. Let me qualify it first. I can assume we believe 'Israel exists today', both believeing and non-believing, no? The people of Israel live. That said; is Israel currently in exile? Or has God restored her to her land, both bones AND Spirit?

In exile, how can Israel 'observe' the law? Is she eventually forgiven her iniquities because she is in exile? Or is she accountable to ALL the Torah, even though God exiled her? Is that a fair condtion to be placed in? God gives a law that is inextricably tied to the land in which he gave them. Now God exiles his children from the land, because they did not obey his covenant. BUT, God is still requiring the law from them? He wants them to go up 3 times a year to a place that God himself banished/exiled them from? Really? OR, did he overlook the sins at that time, forgiving them?
Psalm 25:7
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!

Isaiah 43:25
"I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

Hebrews 8:12
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

Hebrews 10:17
then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more."

18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

We follow Moses because Moses followed Yeshua, God our Savior. He spoke of him, taught of him, and was careful to lay out everything according to the pattern God shown him, because it patterned the LIVING temple in heaven. When we follow Yeshua, we follow the pattern God set out and laid out with Moses. We fulfill the law. Patterning what God gave Moses, LIVING what Yeshua gave us. Moses is 'within' Yeshua. Yeshua is not 'within' Moses. Moses leads to Yeshua, Yeshua does not lead to Moses.

Yes the whole house of Jacob (Israel) exist ...exile?.....I believe some have not yet return to the land of Israel but choose to remain where they are until messiah comes who will gather the nation from the four corners of the earth....yes ..the door is open to return to the homeland..and a gov reside there for jews...is that gov of hashem?.....idk....

If you are referring to a scripture when you say bone and spirit....in which I think you are referring to the prophecy of when God made a field of dry bones and put flesh and life and made an army....that is not fulfilled imo


Amen...but now when messiah returns then he will institute Torah again and the Jews will observe Moses ?

I have to think of it like this. If Moses was given a pattern that 'copied and shadowed' the heavenly things, why would we only retain the pattern of the copies and shadows when the heavenly things have been manifest in the world?

Hebrews 8
1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain." 6 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown....

BUT as it is, Messiah has obtained a ministry that is ...more excellent, and is enacted on 'better' promises.

This tells me that what Yeshua enactced was NOT the copies and shadows but the ACTUAL heavenly presence of what was previously only patterned in copies and shadows. The LIGHT has come into the world. How can we live as though we were in darkness? If the veil has been lifted, by the husband, what right does the wife have to recover herself as if the husband had no right to view her face to face?

Gentiles are also called out of Egypt, and also called to keep the Passover in truth and in spirit, they are also called to keep the feast of Tabernacles because they not only go through Passover just like Jews, they go through the wandering.

That's why the whole world is demanded to keep the feast of Tabernacles.


But Gentiles are asked to do what the high priest would tell them, and the high priest wouldn't tell them anything.

The point is the unity.



The point was to bring a unity to all men, and this unity can not be maintained by teaching a gentile that the ways of God should not be followed.

If anything, a gentile should simply remain loyal to Jews and watch as they continue keeping their culture.


But this can't be done by separating the two, and showing a great divide between the two.




I wouldn't tell the gentiles to keep all the little laws of Moses, I would tell him to learn them.


And it is a given that a gentile cannot bring his Pagan holy days and traditions to be about Christ.

I don't keep the law, but I don't add to it either.


But at some point, when you teach one thing for Jews, and one thing for gentiles, it tends to separate and divide the two.

That copy, that shadow which is the kingdom of heaven is now our body.

We are the temple and the design shows what we are, and we should know the comings and goings of our own temple.

We who have and Love His Name The Word of Eloheym have not One, but Two Faithful Wittnesses, and though they be One, they are the Scriptures written within our heart, and the Word of Elohym hanging on a tree, for the books we read are made of...? And what believer never referred to the book as The Word of Elohym? Yet Y'shua, he is The Word of Elohym:

Those who are Established in their Faith have Two reliable Witnesses, Not One!

Very, very beautiful, it is so beautiful that one might even say, That was beautiful, and now that I think about I must say, It is Beautiful, besides that it is also Beautiful, and Heaven forbid I leave out the Fact that It is Beautiful!

I especially Love the part about a Superior Ministry, and how that is the Only thing that was, and is yet changing!

Yet as it pertains to a Nation of Priests, what, were they Commissioned to minister, and mediate unto themself? A Mediator mediates between Two parties, Israel was chosen to be Elohym('s) Mediator to Reconcile the rest of the World-Kingdom unto (hEllo) Him!

According to the Song attributed to Moshe, YHWH distributed the descendants of Adam-Mankind, according to the tribes of Israel, thus one is a template of the other, one is a Microcosm, and the other a Macrocosm, thus what is true for the one, is also (@ some point n time) true for the other:

Now that the house is built according to plan, let's abolish the Blue prints? Does that sound wise? It is more likely, that we would have no need of the Blueprints in the event the house itself is to be Abolished!

And though there be a (re-) New (-ed) Heaven & Earth, the Concept Of Heaven & Earth will be Older than it ever was; when the scriptures read "...in this world, and the world to come" alone shows, that the Scriptures apply in both worlds:

O.k, o.k., Now I gotta go read what G wrote...

"For had you believed Moshe, you would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?" [John 5:46-47]

Basically he is saying, if one does not know the Torah, then one Only thinks they know what he is talking about, in other words the the New Testament is worthless without the hand-written Torah to comprehend it;

"For I have five brothers; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Abraham says unto him, They have Moshe and the prophets; let them hear them.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moshe and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." [Luke 16:28-29 & 31]

Why would Y'shua recommend the Tanach, and not something New to avoid Hell?

I do not see Y'shua quoting anything from the New testament to battle the temptations of the Tempter on the Mount, instead he quotes three passages from the Tanach:

"Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." [Matthew7:12]

In this verse Y'shua is clearly showing that the (door were) Tanach (on), is the same Law of Love that the Father was preaching through him:

"Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old." [Matthew 13:52]

This passage deserves a thread of its own, yet how can a scribe bring forth something new from something that has been abolished?

"If you are fulfilling the royal law according to the scripture, then you are loving your neighbour as yourself, and you are doing well:" [James 2:8]

Mind you this law of love, and technically everything you listed is also mentioned in the Torah;

You will not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you will love your neighbour as yourself: I am YHWH." [Leviticus 19:18]

Is it because you never read these things, no! Just a veil!

Wow! What has happened to this Messianic Judaism forum? I stay away for a month or two and return to find mainstream Christians teaching against Torah here. I thought that wasn't allowed!!
I'm just not up to the battle anymore. Guess I'll make myself scarce again. Carry on.....
