"The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” - Psalm 110:4 Torah Keeping neglects to recognize Jesus is High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek not in the Order of Aaron (Heb 7:11-17) and therefore the Law of God reverts to pre-mosaic Moral Law (Rom 7:1-6, Rom 13:8-10) without cleanliness and sacrificial laws in place (Heb 7:12, 9:1-10, 10:14-18, 1 Cor 7:18, 10:25-26, Gal 5:1-14). Examples: "1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary... 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings-external regulations applying until the time of the new order." - Heb 9:1, 10 “Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.” - Hebrews 7:11-12 1 Corinthians 7:18-19 [18] …Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. [19] Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands (1 John 3:23) is what counts… 1 John 3:23 [23] And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Romans 13:8-10 [8] Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. [9] The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” [10] Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Regarding Circumcision, the first commandment of Torah keeping: The 8th Day circumcision (Gen 17:12) is for children born as Jews--converts are to be circumcised no matter their age: "“A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it." - Ex 12:48 This is why the First Council at Jerusalem discussed this very matter: "Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.” - Acts 15:5 Paul's letter to the Galatians is a detailed follow up to the events in Acts 15. "Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." - Gal 5:2-6 Paul states this doctrine--circumcision has no value to the Believer--is the source of his Jewish persecution. "Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished." - Gal 5:11 If he still supported circumcision as a command from God in the New Covenant, he would not have been persecuted by the Jews everywhere he went. "Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts." - 1 Cor 17:18-19 Many say “Gentiles "should not be circumcised" yet we need to keep God's commands?? Well, God commanded circumcision (Gen 17)!”   This is the big stumbling block for Jews and Torah observant Christians--they simply don't know, understand, or have willfully neglected (due to moral superiority complex) what the Scriptures say about the Old and New Covenants. 1. Abraham was awarded righteousness by faith before circumcision. “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” - Genesis 15:6 Was Abraham yet circumcised? No, the “Old Covenant” (Gen 17) had not begun. Then what covenant was active? The “Noahide Covenant” (Gen 9).  “Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you” (Gen 9:8-9). If you study God’s commandments leading up to Noah you’ll find the “Old Covenant” inherited commandments the same way the “New Covenant” does. From Eden to Noah, murder was wrong (Cain and Abel), Adultery was wrong (Abimelech and Pharaoh with Sarah), Sabbath was observed since Eden, etc… these are “God’s Law” (1 Cor 9:21)-the unchanging moral laws of Scripture. This leads to the next point… 2. Non-moral laws can be and are changed by God due to various circumstances and according to His will and pleasure. Examples: Totally ok to be naked in the Garden of Eden (Gen 2:25), but not ok after sin entered (Gen 3:21). Adam is not permitted to eat meat, not merely pork or shellfish, no meat is allowed (Gen 1:29). By the time of Noah, all meat is permitted to be eaten (Gen 9:3). By the time of Moses, God declares certain animals unclean (Lev 11). By the time of the New Covenant, food is cleansed again (1 Cor 10:25-27). Sidenote: the reason God had to declare certain animals unclean in Leviticus 11 is because they were not unclean previously. This is the same reason He declares them-and man-clean by faith in Christ in Acts 10:9-16. This is why Paul explicitly states: “Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.” - 1 Cor 10:25-27 What never changed was moral law-murder was wrong in Eden, after the flood, during Abraham and Moses, and now in the New Covenant. 3. Abraham is counted righteous by faith during the Noahide Covenant, this is during the priesthood of Melchizedek not Aaron. The Melchizedekian priesthood is the priesthood of Christ. There was, as witnessed by Scripture, no circumcision nor food cleanliness laws established during this priesthood. “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,” - Gen 14:18 “8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.” - Heb 5:8-10 “If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood-and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood-why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?” - Heb 7:11 Therefore, we are NOT under the levitical priesthood’s regulations any longer. “For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.” - Heb 7:12 Continued...

...Continued... In closing, we ARE under God’s moral Law established well before Moses. Moral Law is adopted into the New Covenant as it has been established since the Edenic and Noahide periods (Rom 13:8-10, 1 Cor 9:21). However, the ceremonial (Heb 9:10), and Sacrificial (Heb 10:14-18), established during Moses, are fulfilled by Christ (Matt 5:17) for those who have died with Him in baptism and have been made the New Creation. “Do you not know, brothers and sisters-for I am speaking to those who know the law-that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.  4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and NOT in the old way of the written code.” - Rom 7:1-6 “You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, NOT on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” - 2 Cor 3:3 The problem is many are falling for the “Circumcision Party” (Gal 2:12) lie that we are still under the Order of Aaron when we are not, we are under the Order of Melchizedek-our High Priest is Melchizedekian not Mosaic! “Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.” - Gal 6:12-13 Likewise, the “Circumcision Party” or “Torah Keepers” refuse to take the time to learn the differences between these priesthoods and therefore stumble due to their own self-righteousness (“I keep the Law of Moses, unlike you faux-christians”) and their lack of diligence in study (Acts 17:11). I hope this helps clarify the various Priesthoods and Laws of God found in Scripture. May the Lord bless you!

Thank you for watching! This is an important doctrine considering today’s Torah Movement-they have no understanding of the Priesthood of Melchizedek! Hebrews 7:11-12,17-22 [11] If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood---and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood---why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? [12] For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. [17] For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” [18] The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless [19] (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. [20] And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, [21] but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.' ” [22] Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. May the Lord Jesus bless you!

Praise God! It’s taken a lot of study and help from the Holy Spirit as much of this must be revealed to see it. Once you do, it’s all over the Scriptures! 2 Corinthians 3:14-17 [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. May the Lord bless you Brother! 🙏

Love this sermon.. I have been in the Torah circle for 3 years and have not been compelled to keep the Levitical law.. I can definitely relate... Why don't you think Hebrews was written by Paul?
