Too bad the Hebrew Roots people don't understand The Book of Hebrews. So ironic

Hello, James! Man, those are some important questions. Here's how I see it. The Mosaic Law is still important and useful for Christians. It reveals our sin and shows us the heart and character of God. It is also part of the "family history" of the people of God and reveals how He loved and led Israel as His overarching story of redemption unfolded. But there are two things to keep in mind. First, the Law of Moses was only given to Israel. Gentiles have never been expected to keep it. Second, our relationship to God has changed because of the work of Christ. The Law of Moses was good and holy and righteous (Rom 7:12), but it was also temporary (Gal 3:24-25). Some of the Mosaic Law was fulfilled in or by Christ, such as the laws about sacrifice, the priesthood, the temple, etc. Other parts have become obsolete because they were the national laws of ancient Israel. For example, we cannot enforce the parts of the Torah that require the death penalty for working on the Sabbath or that dictate how one divorces his wife. Those things are now up to the governmental authorities under which we live. The laws regarding morality were neither bound to national Israel nor fulfilled by Christ. Rather, they are grounded in God's unchanging moral perfection. So those laws will never change. This is why, while Yahweh never judged the other nations (outside of Israel) regarding Shabbat or feasts or kosher diets, He _did_ judge them for wicked and evil behavior. And, in fact, we see these moral laws in effect long before the Law of Moses was given, such as Cain being judged for murdering Abel. Shalom, Rob

​@@TheBiblicalRoots did God say what laws are going to be written in the hearts of the new covenant? For example, the SDA church believes that God is going to write the ten commandments in the heart.

That's great to hear, Ish!

Wow praise God , that's really awesome

Not sure about that. 🤔 If I understand this 119 Ministries video correctly (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa93oM2KncjeaYU.html), their claim is that animal sacrifices are still to be in effect today- a teaching from a Hebrew Roots group that does definitely contradict this teaching.

Hey, Kevin! The short answer I would offer is Paul's own words: "For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings." (1 Cor 9:19-23)

@@TheBiblicalRoots that’s a good one

Thanks, Yossi! I don't know that I have a video the talks specifically about _how_ Christ inaugurated the New Covenant. Jesus told us that the New Covenant was in His blood (Luke 22:20, 1 Cor 11:25). So the inference is that it was His sacrifice on the cross that ushered in the New Covenant. The shedding of blood is a common method of enacting a covenant in the ancient Near East. It is referred to as "cutting a covenant" and it still happens today in some cultures. We see it in Gen 15 when God has Abraham cut the animals in half and God passes through the blood to ratify the Abrahamic Covenant. And we see it in the animal sacrifices under the Sinai Covenant. Blessings, Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots Thanks for your insight. I really appreciate all you do here on KZfaq, addressing the specifics of the Hebrew Roots movement.

The idea of no strangled meats is to prevent cruelty to animals, God's creation. This also means no consuming of blood. It has nothing to do with pleasing or offending Jews.

@@johnpratts2856 I agree

Indeed. Thank you, Adrian. Blessings! Rob

Abraham don’t have the same commands as Moses. The Dead Sea Scrolls say no man observed the Sabbath before Moses, that would include Abraham

Hi, EO! You stated "Yes there are things that we are not able to partake in, and those things did get moved forward to when our High Priest returns. Like anything to do with the service at the temple." Are you suggesting that at Christ's Second Coming we will, for example, resume the blood sacrifices for sin?

Defending the Biblical Roots of Christianity I’m not suggesting it, scripture says that’s what is going to happen. Ezekiel 40-48

Jonathan Gesner I haven’t read that Abraham didn’t rest on the Sabbath. Do you have evidence of this?

@@ForgedinTruth Dead Sea Scrolls Jubilees Ch 2 vs 31

"Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned-for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come." (Rom 5:12-14)

@@TheBiblicalRoots Professor….Adam only did one sin…..you have more than four. Plus the verse you gave is a lame lie. Sin before law……really………. “Let there be light”………..(Gen.1:3) “A commandment is a lamp, and Torah is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.” (Proverbs 6:23)(proverbs 8) Torah was the first entity created, and all was created from her. Thus showing that all is made by laws. Second the serpent was there before they sinned………so the law was before the serpent , because God always gives both sides……and good before bad(free choice) (Ezekiel 14:14) even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 18:20) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. Interesting that Christianity came from a female mindset(Eve), it is a feminist religion, to give women a equal spiritual say. Women actually replace their husbands with a dead one! Adam not obeying Gods voice and listening to Eve, give light to how one could act from rejecting the Torah. Adam actions actually give light to Islam…..and why their women are treated the way they are treated. Eve thought she could be like God……Christianity…….making God in man’s image! And that verse is ridicules……. That literally shows why Christianity tried to figure out away to get rid of the laws, that therefore o more sins will be there. Genesis 4:7 If you improve , will you not be forgiven ? But if you refuse to improve , sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you can overcome it. Deuteronomy 10:12-13 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good? Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known. God always give the cure before the disease…….the cure for sin is Torah, which was again created first, before sin…..(proverbs 8) Plus if Adam didn’t sin………you couldn’t be here to make that argument. Adam being “man” sinning, was to show us no man is like God, and never will be, even the one that God created as an adult….not a child like everyone else. The logic here is actually quite simple, meaning that Jesit couldn’t be….nor become God, be apart of God(demigod). Jeremiah 16:20 Can man make themselves gods? They themselves are not gods! Yet you call yourself a professor, but will not break down a signal scripture in the correct manner……..not even the NT verses…..where they lack logical sense. Ecclesiastes 7:20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. You say Jesit was a righteous man….correct? 1 kings 8:46 When they sin against You--for there is no one who does not sin--and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to his own land, whether far or near, Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous? Job 33:12 Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man. Psalm 143:2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You. I would say nice try……except that Romans verse is horrible! You account for original sin…….but Adam couldn’t die for future descendants sins…..he was the first man….(the soul that sins shall die)..:…. Jeremiah 31:35-37 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar- the LORD Almighty is his name: “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,” declares the LORD, “will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.” declares the LORD. This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done,” declares the LORD. Psalm 148:6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.

You follow that Jesit is the second Adam…..the perfection…..yet Adam, being created by God….alone……..sinned one sin…….and died…..because he is not a….or ……God. Showing that no man can be or become God…….or will even start out as God. Isaiah 43:10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. Deuteronomy 4:35 You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him. Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand. Psalm 102:27 But You remain the same, and Your years will never end. What else you have?

@@TheBiblicalRoots Here is another simple truth that destroys the Christian ideologies. Genesis 4:1 Now that the man he known his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man with HaShem.” As this shows that Eve did not have a man-child without the man, and God. The only other things that Eve had relations with would be the serpent…..so if a child (ideology) from a woman, without a man……the seed is them from the serpent……..as the scripture shows! Eve is saying, “When He created me and my husband, He created us by Himself alone, but in the birth of this child, we are partners with Him.” And……that this child is an acquisition for God- for when [ Adam and I ] die he will take our place in serving his creator. Not sure why Christians want to claim a virgin birth……….it is the serpents story!

@@TheBiblicalRoots Why is it that, with the information that you give to the people who follow you, that they are not equipped to defend what they believe…….specifically with scripture nor understanding …….? They attack character specifically, and then stop interacting. WWJD…….right!?!? This is why the use of the word “ignorance” or “ignorant” is preferred, Ignorance:lack of knowledge or information. Tell one that they are ignorant of the subject they are speaking on……with scriptural proof verifies the assumption. Then a Christian takes as your attacking their character, calling them lazy……….now the Christian has created a character issue for their selves……pride! Pride: the belief that you are better or more important than other people. Deuteronomy 9:26-29 I prayed to the LORD and said, “Sovereign LORD, do not destroy your people, your own inheritance that you redeemed by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people, their wickedness and their sin. Otherwise, the country from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them, he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’ But they are your people, your inheritance that you brought out by your great power and your outstretched arm.” Psalms 94:14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; 1 kings 6:13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.” Meaning that…..why do Christian’s not give the proper respect to the Torah…? Christianity says….why do Jews reject their messiah….? Judaism says…..why do Christian’s reject God….? Professor…..would you go and learn Chinese history from a Australian historian…….or from a Chinese historian? Why trust Paul and not Moses….? Why not trust that all matters about life……God already spoke…..?…Torah! I’m mean….now your starting to tell flat out lies……….why are you grasping…? Why do Christian’s refuse…ignore…..reject the scripture that refutes the NT…..yet then say that Jews reject the NT as the word of God……..this is the pure definition of hypocrisy! I’ll probably will not get a response, I’m used to Christian responses, such as not responding.

Third Heaven Prophet I am

Hi, Smurfy! Actually, John tells us that "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is _lawlessness"_ (1 John 3:4). The book of 1 John doesn't discuss the Torah or the Law of Moses anywhere. And this text says that sin is _lawlessness_ (ἀνομία); meaning rebellion, disobedience, living as a law unto ourselves rather than submitting to God (see Deut 9:7, 24; 31:27). For those under the law of Moses, breaking that law was sinful, of course. But sin is much bigger than that! In fact, "sin was in the world _before_ the law was given" (Rom. 5:13, see Gen 4:7; 13:13; 18:20; 39:9). So if we merely define sin as a transgression of the Law of Moses, then Adam and Eve never sinned, because they did not break any of the Mosaic commands. Blessings, Rob

And also what do this verse mean? 2 Corinthians 3:14 - But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 - Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 - But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.17 - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Freedom of what? The law of Moses? Is there a new covenant? Luk 22.20 - In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Is this a past event or we still waiting for it? Did Jesus already spilled His blood or we still waiting? I guess He already did. 1 Corinthians 11:25 - In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” Mmm again looks like this new covenant Jesus is talking about is already in place. 2 Corinthians 3:6 - He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Huh? We already ministers of the new covenant? Hebrews 9:15 - For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 12:24 - to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. I always wondered why old covenant people cant see clearly in scripture that there is a new covenant? The veil isnt over their eyes but over their hearts cause God wrote the new covenant on our hearts. (heb 8.10 - will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.) Hebrew roots think Christians is lawless. Lets see if we are? John 13:34 - “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. A new commandment? Huh? Its the new covenant commandment. Love!! Why? Romans 13. 8 - Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. Gal 5.14 - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” WAIT WHAT? You telling me Christian's fulfill the whole law by loving God and their neighbour? These passages need to be out of context? Or are they the fulfillment of the new covenant thats already here? Heb 10 9 - 10 - He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. We saved by faith through grace. Do you have enough faith to believe that through Christ we are sanctified and justified? Or do you have little faith in Christ's work here and you believe you also have to work for salvation? What is your works showing? Faith in Christ or does your works show you believe you have to keep the law for sanctification and justification for salvation? Gal 2.21 - 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Did Christ died for you? Or you rejecting His heavenly Priesthood? Do you have faith in Him to believe nothing you do can save you? Or do you feel a free gift need some works attach to it? If you do believe you need to keep the law you are lost and if you die today you wont see heaven as Christ then didn't die for you as gal 2 21 mentions. I pray you will reconsider and study the scriptures with an open mind. Remember we don't come to scripture to make it fit with our believes. We come to scripture and then form our believes out of scripture. Ephesians 2. 8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.

Thanks, William! The "laws" of God that run the universe and define right and wrong have been true from the very beginning and will never change. Murder and greed and wickedness and sin were wrong long before the Law of Moses was given, and they will always be wrong. Remember that not every command that God has given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands were only given for certain people or certain times. And we're each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. And the ceremonial Mosaic commands do not apply to Christians today. In fact, here's a video I made you might find helpful: *How do Christians uphold the law? A bible study on Romans 3:31* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jp6foZiruL7aYIU.html Blessings, Rob

Yeah, I could agree with that general statement, Folke. Under the New Covenant the "place of holiness" is no longer geographically bound to the temple in Jerusalem. "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body" (1 Cor 6:19-20).

Actually Moses said, "The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers-it is to him you shall listen" (Deut 18:15). So let's all listen to Jesus! Blessings, Rob

Thanks, SC! So when you claim that Christ-followers should be keeping the Law of Moses, what does that look like, exactly? Does it mean we avoid wearing wool and linen fabrics in one garment (Lev 19:19; Deut 22:11), travel to Jerusalem three times a year for the feasts (Deut 16:16), and every person must bring a sin offering for his transgression (Lev 4:27)? Is it safe to assume you're doing these things as a Torah-keeper? Respectfully, Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots The verses you've indicated are all related to the temple. The mixture of the fabrics was only allowed for the high priests, the traveling to Jerusalem was to travel to the temple in Jerusalem, and the sin offering is self explanatory. As I stated these things are all related to the temple service and if there was a temple today they would be adhered to. But since there isn't then these instructions can't be kept for that reason alone. To understand the back of the book one must understand the front. No where in New Testament scripture does Jesus say or instruct us to put away the front of the book because it doesn't apply anymore. In fact is says just the opposite as does Paul. R.L. is teaching misleading and false doctrines. If you truly want to learn what the bible teaches, Old and New Testaments, then go learn from Rico Cortez or Joseph Good and not R.L.

@@sensiblechristian9791 Thanks, SC! Respectfully, what you are promoting is unbiblical. I understand that the temple is no longer standing and therefore a large chunk of the Law of Moses cannot be kept even if we wanted to. But that came as no surprise to God. He ordained as part of His plan that the temple should be destroyed in AD 70. In fact, Jesus prophesied it would happen (Matt 24:1-2; Mark 13:1-2; Luke 21:5-6). And God actually began the process at Christ's death by tearing the holy veil in the temple in two (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45), symbolizing that we no longer need a priesthood as we did under Moses. Under Jesus, the individual believer has direct access to God. More importantly, the NT teaches that the temple laws were fulfilled by Jesus under the New Covenant. The reason sacrifices are not practiced today is not because there is no temple, but because Jesus was our sacrifice "once for all" (Hebrews 10:10), and therefore "there is no longer any offering for sin" (Heb 10:18). The reason we don't have a Levitical priesthood is that followers of Christ are now "a royal priesthood" (1 Pet 2:9). Which is how Christ can be our high priest, even though he is not from the tribe of Levi as the Mosaic law required (Heb 7:14). And the reason we don't have a temple is that we believers are now the temple (1 Cor 6:19). Jesus foretold of this. "Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father" (John 4:21). It was a devastating statement to say that worship would no longer be limited to the Jewish temple. This ties in with John 2:19-21 and also Stephen’s statement in Acts 7:48-50. John’s Gospel also clearly reveals that there is a new sacrifice (John 1:29), a new temple (John 2:19-21; 4:20-24). So to suggest that the full Law of Moses is in effect on Christ-followers today is unbiblical and undermines the work of Christ. And even more so for _Gentile_ believers who were *never under the Law in the first place.* Shalom, Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots I will say it again. You are teaching and believing a false doctrine of replacement theology. The things you are saying prove the lack of OT scruptural understanding not to mention Temple and sacrificial system. If you are a teachable person then get with Joseph Good or Rico Cortez or both. I say all of this because you are heading down the road to herecy with your understanding and teaching.
