Consider...

Yahweh does not change!

Malachi 3: 6 For I am the LORD, I change not;

But many have believed Satan’s lie that He changed in His Son who came in the flesh in Y’shua/Jesus... but neither did He …nor does He change according to Hebrews 13: 8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." As a matter of fact what Hebrews does talk about changing is the "priesthood" as Messiah Y'shua is now our High Priest. This of course will also bring changes within the "law". This in no way implies any changes in the standards Yah has laid out for His set apart family in His instructions or Torah.

The law/Torah is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good. But many have believed Satan’s lie that it is bondage or that it was nailed to the cross. Just read Romans 7: 12 "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good". It can't be both bondage and holy.

Colossians 2: 14 says “the handwriting of ordinances that were against us were nailed to the cross and taken out of the way”. Many erroneously believe that is referring to Yahwehs’ commands.
How can His commands be ‘bondage” or “against us” when Proverbs 6: 3 says this about His law, “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.”

All of Psalms 119 is about loving and cherishing Yahweh's law and delighting in all of His counsel. How can it be anything but good for us? Would a God of love give us instructions that were too hard to bear or not for our good? Just what kind of Father do you believe He is?

Is it possible that Paul spoke of more than one "law" and maybe there was only "one" English word to use for translating all of them? That would certainly show that we have not been "rightly dividing the word of truth", would it not?

If Yahweh's commandments/ law is "the way of life" and Satan wishes to destroy your life, don't you think one of His plans would be to try and steal from you "the way of life"?
What better way to steal that from you than to convince you through a slick twisting of scriptures and what they really mean. Peter warned about the writings of Paul being twisted by those unlearned in the scriptures.

Many wrongly say that no one can obey all of Yahweh’s instructions but that’s just another lie from Satan. For it is the very death of our Messiah that is mocked with that proclamation. His commandments are His definition of love.

Y'shua's death is what sets us free from sin. And you are made free from the “law of sin and death” through the cross. That does not mean that you no longer have to worry about your sin, on the contrary,
Hebrew 10: 29 says, "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
His death has made it possible for you to be able to obey with a desire in your heart to do so. Read Jeremiah 31: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
Do you not understand what it means to have His Torah written on your heart. That is the “new covenant”! It’s called grace. But again, you have believed the lie that grace gives you a license to throw out all the instructions that Yah gives and you can now make up your on standards for living. What did Paul have to say about that:
Romans 3:
31 Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.

Most try to claim someone is merely trying to “earn” their salvation when they speak of obeying Yahweh’s laws. Oh really? What did Y’shua/Jesus say about His commandments?
John 14: 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Most believe Y’shua/Jesus gave a “new” commandment, but they need to learn how to rightly divide the word because “HE” does not change it is the same from the beginning.
2 John
5 And now I ask you, Kuria, not as though I wrote a fresh command to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.; 6 And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

Many say that it’s only a law of love now, but we need to understand that love is what was taught from the beginning.
Matthew 22:
37 And Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great command. 39 “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.”

We need to give it a good study and see that all of those instructions that we have allowed Satan to convince us to be bondage are the very instructions of our Father on how it is “HE” wants us to express that love….towards Him and our neighbor.

He has now made a way for it to be possible for us to obey those instructions but we are too busy trying to convince ourself and others of a lie instead of taking the time to “prove it” with the scriptures. 1 Thessallonians 5: 21 says, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil."

We are clearly told in scripture NOT to let anyone outside of the body of Messiah to judge us in food or on Sabbaths or feast days, ...but because of a lack of understanding and everyone just rehashing what someone else has taught, most of us believe that that verse tells us we can eat whatever we want and call any day a sabbath and disregard the appointed times of our Father Yahweh. They are erroneously called the "Jew's holidays". Maybe that's because they were the only ones who were keeping them. There again, the term "Jew" has been used to mean different things. When will we learn to rightly divide the word?

Now here is the one that really blows the mind:
Do you really think that those who are trying to show you that it is a good thing to obey Yah and to follow His instructions are the ones that are preaching “another gospel” or… are leading people down some wicked cultic path? Or maybe "they" are the ones scripture speaks of about "falling away in the last days". Really? If so, here is your logic: “Look at those people doing what the scriptures say…Look at those people following those “feast days of Yahweh”…look at those people who are “keeping His Sabbaths”….the nerve of them folks trying to be so obedient to the scriptures, which are the instructions from our Creator”.
???
Can you not see how wacked that view is?
Go and meditate on Psalms 119. Consider it diligently.



Do we really think that all those instructions in His Torah/law were given and all that blood was shed just so one day He could tell us that those things are “old” and passed away …that they no longer apply…and that somehow “we” are more special than all those just because we have some philosophical understanding and get a warm fuzzy feeling with the head knowledge of the Messiah" and now all we have to do is stay busy with "this worldly life" and call on Him when "we" need it, until He "snatches us away from the hard times ahead"? As though "we" are above being tried in the fire. That "rapture before tribulation", is just another lie. He said we would have to endure tribulation and the world would hat us just as it hated Him.
We should stop assuming that the first part of the bible is only about stoning people and bloody sacrifices. Was our heavenly Father not worthy of animals sacrificed in His honor or to glorify Him; Yet animals are slaughtered all the live long day for our gluttonous consumption without a second thought.
All of His words were given for our instruction and correction. His words are life. His commandments are how we determine what "sin" is.
We need a savior because we know that we have sinned when we understand what sin is after learning it in His word. If there is no more instructions as to what sin is, how then do you tell someone they need a savior?
And after we have met our redeemer in Y'shua Messiah and accepted His blood as our atonement it should be even more of a pleasure to obey our Father and apply all of His instructions to our life, not toss them out as though they are some burdensome bother that had us in bondage.

One of the biggest lies of all is to believe that it doesn't matter anymore. IT DOES matter. It's a blood covenant now. He gave His life. No one took it. Don't let it be in vain for you.
Yahweh have mercy on us all.

Only Yahweh can open the eyes of the blind, so may it be that none of us will assume that we have it all figured out and have no further need to search out the riches that He has provided in His word.




Consider these matters diligently and prayerfully desiring to see the truth from Father Yah.
