why WE keep the law

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom mishpacha, baruk h'shem YHWH - w' baruka ha'bo b'shem YHWH , "blessed your coming in the name YHWH" @ Yahushua.

                                        I pray all is well with you and yours.

In this communication I'd like to share several passages of scripture I complied so we all can reach out peacefully to those not yet awakened or those not yet having truth spoken to their hearing and remind them "you are never too old to learn or be corrected"  (unless you are stiff-necked or full or PRIDE). I'd like to help arm us all with the ammo we need from the bible to shoot down mis-teaching to our families and friends that have gone on for decades. We have all heard that errant doctrine from the churches: "the law is done away with", .... a doctrine that should have never been spoken in the first place! ( they should read psalms 11:3,  If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? )

Those that utter that mis-direction haven't even taken the time to read and understand that there are several types of laws that they are attempting to extinguish, so which category? - the Ceremonial laws?, Moral Laws?, Sacrificial laws?, Civil Laws?, Dietarial Laws?, Ceremonial laws?  ..... even worse, because they talk without thinking they think WE keep the law for salvation, - NOT true!, we NEVER claimed that. (proverbs 18:13 and James 1:19 might help these people!)

It's true the law doesn't make you right, ...it instructs you in righteousness!

question: If the laws of scripture are done away with, how come in modern day court they make you "swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth" while putting you hand on a bible they claim is extinct? .....selah

fact: most need to learn the difference between "extinct" vs. "extant"

Christians mainly only want to read the epistles of Paul, well did they read Romans 7:12? .... it comes from both the Father and the son and they both reminded us in Leviticus 11:44 and 1st. Peter 1:16,  "BE YE HOLY AS I AM"  >>> THROUGH THE LAW!

I have listed below scripts from the King James Version, so your christian family and friends can understand without rejection because of their lack of understanding the Shemetic vocabulary ( especially the true names ) that we are returning to, so they have NO excuse to dismiss these by saying: "I don't understand Hebrew names - I only speak English".

Read these to them or allow them read for themselves from the "old testament" to the "new testament" and see if they can glean a better understand from the books and vocabulary they are familiar with starting here with the "ten commandments" and discuss why or if these instructions should be extinguished:

exodus 20:1-17

[1] And God spake all these words, saying,
[2] I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[7] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
[8] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
[12] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
[13] Thou shalt not kill.
[14] Thou shalt not commit adultery.
[15] Thou shalt not steal.
[16] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
[17] Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

[37] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

deut. 13:1-4

[2] And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
[3] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
[4] Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

acts 24:10-14

[10] Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

[11] Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
[12] And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
[13] Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
[14] But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

acts 26:21-22                                                                                                                                                 [21] For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.                              [22] Having therefore obtained help of YHWH, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come.

acts 28:16-17 & 23

[16] And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

[23] And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

romans 2:12-13

[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
[13] For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

romans 8:7

[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

romans13:8-10

[8] Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

1st Tim. 1:5-8

[5] Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
[6] From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
[7] Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
[8] But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

Titus 3:8 & 14

[8] This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

[14] And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful

1st John 2:1-5

[1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
[2] And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1st John 3:18-22

[18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
[19] And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
[20] For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
[21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
[22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

2nd John 1:4-6

[4] I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
[5] And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[6] And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

Revelation 14:12-13

[12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.*

[13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works* do follow them.

Revelation 22:12-14

[12] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
[13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
[14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

think: did Adam and his wife keep the law they were given? ...so you can now understand why they were removed from and had NO right to the "tree of life" - but we see those that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS will certainly have a well deserved right to that tree >>> HALELUYAH!

These are only some of the passages from beginning to end proving that the laws / instructions of YHWH have not - are not - and never will be done away with! .... this is why WE keep (or guard) his laws. It's really amazing how many Christians labor to know who is the "anti-christ, but what they need to focus on is what effect he ALREADY has on them, in a more accurate YLT - Young's literal translation, is it presented from 2nd Thess. 2:8, "and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence," .....- if anyone has ever taught you that Paul said the law was done away with >>>> they LIED! , and THEY are under the spell of the lawless one (anti-christ) already, and just as the Master will consume him - he will consume them and YOU also! (aka - you can run but you CAN'T hide!).

conclusion: YES Yahushua fulfilled the law, he didn't eliminate it - but he fulfilled the law / torah pertaining to >>> HIM.

wisdom: The blind law haters need stop running their mouths and to go back and read ALL of psalms 119 and mainly try to explain psalms 119:18,
"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law".

fact: it takes faith to keep the law! ...you have expectations when you keep them!

question: If Christians embrace "we CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ that strengthens us" ...then how come they CAN'T DO the laws, statues and commandments?  >>> somebody is LYING !!!  ( Rev. 21:8 is their end! ).

And from the wisdom of King Solomon in proverbs 30:5-6, "....EVERY word of  Eloah is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou NOT unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a LIAR"

     ( some believe they are not under the law, but they better understand their NOT above it either! )

selah and shalom

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom akhi, I'm glad you understood the message about why WE keep the law, feel free (like I did) to use all the scripts posted to solidify your writing.

As pertaining to the christians and their claim to "spiritual israel" - it is NOT scriptuarlly founded.... what is founded is "grafted in" aka the un-natural branches that need NOT boast.

If they claim true Isreal will no longer be, then they need to explain: JeremiYah 31st chapter as well as Romans 11:1-2, and they really need to try to weasle out of Malakhi 3:6, as well as Revelation 7:4-8.

them morons got a lot of squirming to do !!!

[Walter Jackson]

Shalom akhi/elder, As usual halleluYah! for the above. As I mention to you sometime ago thru this medium, that with Yah's help I am trying to put together a brochure of sorts for the same purpose and title as the above.

The above scriptures will therefore be an invaluable addition. HALLElUYAH!

As an aside; what I find very strange is that most ' christian' will tell you that the Laws (Torah) is for the Jews and they are the same oneswho will tell you that Israel (Israelites that is, who they believe are the Jews) has been replace by the church, and that they are now spiritual Israel. My question to them is; seeing that they are now Israel (spiritual Israelites, as they see it) then why are'nt they keeping the laws given to the Israelites! 

Shalom. Khag samaech!
