I don't believe for a second that the Renewed Covenant is about lying, stealing, murdering, idol worship, and the like.

Reverse as in antithetical.

If the Torah isn't written on your heart yet; you can always fall back on the Torah engraved in stone.

This is true. However in the new covenant duty replaces fear.

Jesus cannot say to hear the Pharisees, because the new covenant is to not be taught by any man, but to be taught of the father ( faith and the Father and Son coming to us and making their abode with us to teach us in the Spirit and not by flesh, that is man)


Jesus speaking for men of Israel to observe what the law says, is reminding the men of Israel, that doing what the law says, is greater than what the Pharisees say, which is to say and do not, to mix lies with what they spoke of God.



Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

Surely you aren't saying that Yahshua was contradicting himself?

Surely there must be another answer.

Are you suggesting that Paul was mistaken?

(CLV) Eph 5:21
being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

Yes, surely you cannot be believing in being taught by the blind ?


But, Jesus taught how to see, and then they can see that the Pharisees say, and do not.


Jesus also taught how they heard in old times, hating enemy, commiting adultery, and then His sayings are the law magnified and made honourable.


We are either with Jesus or against, cant be both.

It is abut how to not lie, by the Spirit of truth now given.

How to not steal, as to not let him ( the devil who stole) steal no more, so now to labour to give ( instead of steal)

to not murder, but now instead to even lay our lives down.

to not idol worship, and to be made aware that coveting is idolatry

any more you want me to speak of ?

Wasn't the truth given from the beginning?

Your righteousness is eonian righteousness, And Your law is truth.

1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Again, the Torah was read from the Moses seat.

(CLV) Jn 5:46
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for the writes concerning Me.

(CLV) Jn 5:47
Now if you are not believing his writings, how shall you be believing My declarations?"

The Torah is the word of YHWH. In the beginning was the word. The Torah brings us to Yahshua.

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

1 John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

The Torah is the word of YHWH. In the beginning was the word. The Torah brings us to Yahshua.




All we observe is Jesus not resting on sabbath as all Israel does in the synagogues, see for a moment these other confirming verses, how Israel had Moses and the prophets, but heard them not, and were not persuaded by one rising from the dead, knowing not the Lord nor the voices of the prophets which are read to the people of Israel every sabbath day.

Acts 15 speaks of the tabernacle of David to be risen up in Christ, for the Gentiles ( Christ risen up to Heaven for us) and the Jews, the believers of Israel gave no rules of circumcision, of sabbath, of anything in the laws to Israel, but to keep from idols, and from fornication, from things strangled, and from blood. Saying how Moses is preached enough in every city from old time, and Moses ( the law) is read in the synagogues every sabbath day ( from old to the people of Israel in Judaism)

As their minds ( of Israel and in every city in the synagogues every sabbath day) are blinded until this day, and the vail ( of blindness) is untaken away in the reading of the old testament, when the vail is done away in Christ. When Moses is read ( from old time in every city in their synagogues on every sabbath day) the vail is upon their heart..





Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.






Israel was and is, under the impression that they are worshipping God, by what the law of Moses tells them.

Unfortunately, they do nothing of what that law of Moses instructs,, and Jesus pointed that out by telling that what is instructed, should be observed and done.

Jesus also revealed how the Pharisees were hypocrites, to strain at gnats, and swallow camels, to observe what does no good to others, and to ignore the love and mercy of Gd, that should have been their interest, instead of all their doings, are only for themselves.

The last thing to recognize is, any unprofitable servant is cast into outer darkness, so to lose our life quickly, to labour together with Christ, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and being unlike Israel on the sabbath days, is our wise choice it seems..






Matthew 23:2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.


Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

No doubt; but let us not forget Deuteronomy 13.

(CLV) 1Jn 4:1
Beloved, do not |believe every spirit, but |test the spirits to see if they are of God, for many false prophets have come out into the world.

How do you test the spirits?

I test them by the word of YHWH.
