DidThe
Apostle Shaul
Do Away With Yahweh's Law?
Many
people have written to the
House of Yahweh to tell us they understand that they are to keep the
Laws of Yahweh, but they are confused about some of the Apostle Shaul's
writings. Some of the Apostle Shaul's writings are hard to be
understood, as the Apostle Kepha stated in:
II Kepha 3:15-16—
15 And recognize that the longsuffering
of Yahweh our Savior is salvation; just as our
beloved brother Shaul, in accordance with the wisdom given to him, has
written to you,
16 As also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in
which are some things hard to be understood, which those who
are unlearned and unstable twist, as they also do
the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
The
Apostle Kepha says that those who are
unlearned in the Scriptures are the very ones who twist the Scriptures
to their own destruction. No one wants to be destroyed, but if we
follow the lying preachers who twist these Scriptures, then we, also,
will experience the same destruction that Yahweh has planned for all
Scriptural liars. Yahshua, our Messiah and High Priest over The House
of Yahweh, tells us what will befall us if we follow blind leaders,
saying in:
Mattithyah 15:14—
Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if
the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
Yahweh
also commands us to study His word,
in order to show ourselves approved unto Him, for if we study His word,
then we will most certainly not be deceived by any of the Scriptural
lies brought forth by the lying preachers. We read in:
II Timothy 2:15—
Study to show yourself approved to Yahweh:
a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth.
Yahweh willing, after you have finished reading this booklet, you will no longer have any questions about Shaul's writings, and you will never again be deceived by the crafty manipulations of any of Satan's lying preachers, either.

The Teachings Of
The Apostle Shaul
The
Books of Romans, Galatians, Ephesians,
Colossians, and Hebrews, are said to be written by the Apostle Shaul.
In each of his letters to the called out ones, Shaul had definite
teachings to convey. Did Shaul teach the Romans a Lawless, no works
salvation? Not by any means. Shaul taught them, that:
Romans 2:13—
For not the hearers of the Law are just
before Yahweh, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
Romans
3:31—
Are we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no
means! Rather, we establish the Law!
Romans
7:7—
Shall we therefore say that the Law is sin? No! By
no means! But to the contrary, I did not know sin; transgression
of the Law, except through the Law, for I did not
know lust, unless the Law had said: Do not covet.
Romans
7:12—
Therefore the Law is holy,
and the commandments are holy, and just,
and righteous.
The
Apostle Shaul taught the Ten
Commandments Law to the Ephesians, as proven in:
Ephesians 6:2-3—
2 Honor your father and mother; which is the first
commandment with a promise:
3 That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the
earth.
The Law to honor one's father and mother, in order that our days may be long upon the land, is commandment number five of the Ten Commandments, which are found in both Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16.
The
Apostle Shaul was not teaching the abolishment of the Ten
Commandments, or he would not have taught the Ephesians to obey that
Law. Did Shaul teach the Hebrews that the renewed covenant did away
with the Laws of Yahweh? Most assuredly not! Shaul taught Yahweh's
truth about this covenant, saying in:
Hebrews 8:10—
For this covenant is the same covenant
that I will renew with the house of Israyl: After those days, says
Yahweh; I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it
in their hearts; minds, and I will be
their Father, and they will be My people.
Hebrews
10:16—
This is the covenant that I will
renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I
will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.
The
Apostle Shaul did not teach any
doctrines different from those taught by the other apostles. Shaul was
not double tongued. Even today's lying preachers will tell you that
there are no contradictions in all the Bible, even though their idea of
no
contradictions is to teach that no Laws should be kept. However, that
teaching is not the teaching of the apostles. The Apostle Yaaqob tells
us in:
Yaaqob 2:10-11—
10 For whoever keeps the whole Law, and yet offends
in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For He Who said: Do not commit adultery, also said: Do not
murder. Now if you do not commit adultery, yet you do murder, you
have become a transgressor of the Law.
The
Apostle Yahchanan, in agreement with
the Apostle Shaul tells us in:
I Yahchanan 2:3-4—
3 Now by this we do know that we know Him: If we keep His
commandments.
4 He who says: I know Him, but does not keep His
Law, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I
Yahchanan 3:22—
And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we
keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing
in His sight.
I
Yahchanan 3:24—
And he who keeps His Commandments dwells in HIM, and
HE in him; and by this we know that He abides in us: By the
Spirit which He has given us.
I
Yahchanan 5:2-3—
2 By this we know that we love the children of Yahweh: When we
love Yahweh by keeping His commandments.
3 For this is the love of Yahweh: That we keep His
Law, and His Law is not grievous.
II
Yahchanan 1:6—
And this is love: That we walk after His Commandments.
Those are the Commandments, that, as you have heard from the beginning,
you should walk in them.
The
Apostle Shaul taught Yahweh's Laws, as
Yahshua the Son of Yahweh, our Messiah and High Priest over the House
of Yahweh, came teaching His Father's Laws, saying in:
Mattithyah 5:19—
Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least
commandments, and will teach men so, he will be called the least
in the Kingdom of Yahweh; but whosoever will do and
teach them, the same
will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh.
I
have often said the reason those who
teach against Yahweh's Laws will be called least in the Kingdom, is
because they will not be there long. Those least ones will be cast into
the Lake of Fire, to be burned up and gotten out of the way of those
who would obey Yahweh. Yahshua shows us how to enter into Yahweh's
Kingdom saying in:
Mattithyah 19:17—
But He said to him: Why do you question Me about
righteousness? There is only One Who is the standard of
perfection, and that is Yahweh; so if
you would enter into life, keep the commandments.
Then
Yahshua tells us in:
Mattithyah 5:17—
Do not even think that I have
come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to
destroy them, but to establish them.
The word translated destroy is #2647 Kataluo in Strong's Greek Dictionary and means: disintegrate or demolish. In effect, Yahshua said in Mattithyah 5:17, "Do not even think that I have come to demolish the Law...'' The King James Version has the word fulfill in place of the word translated establish in The Book of Yahweh. The word translated fulfill in the King James Version is #4137, pleroo, and means: to make replete, execute an office, verify a prediction, accomplish, fully preach, perfect.
When Yahshua came to fulfill Yahweh's Laws, He came to execute His office, to finish His assigned task, and to verify the prophets predictions about Him. Yahshua came to fully preach and fully perform Yahweh's Laws thereby establishing them.
When these lying preachers teach that Yahshua did away with the Laws of Yahweh, they are doing exactly what the Messiah told them not to do. They are thinking Yahshua did away with the Law, when Yahshua told them, "Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law."
The
Greek word pleroo translated fulfill,
is the same word fulfill in the King James Version
used in:
Matthew 3:15—
And Jesus answering said unto him, suffer it to be so
now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill
all righteousness. Then He suffered him.
If the word fulfill means to do away with, then Yahshua did away with all righteousness, because this Scripture says, it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.
Philippians
2:2, KJV—
Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like minded,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one
mind.
Yahshua and all of His apostles, including the Apostle Shaul, taught that Yahweh's Laws, Statutes, and Judgments are to be performed fully, to be established, and most definitely not to be done away with.
We
are then shown that only those who keep Yahweh's
Commandments will have right to eternal life in:
Revelation 22:14—
Blessed are those who do His
commandments, that they may have right to the Tree
of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Yahshua
and all of His apostles taugh their
followers to keep teh Law. We know that any other teaching is against
the Law.
We have also seen that the Apostles taught that Yahweh's Laws are holy,
just, and righteous. Only those who fully perform Yahweh's Laws will
enter Yahweh's Kingdom.

Some Scriptures
That Are Twisted
Satan's
lying preachers use their twisted
Scriptures in Ephesians 2:15-16 to claim that their
Savior nailed those old Laws to the cross, thereby giving them freedom
from the Law.
Shaul wrote the Book of Ephesians, and taught Yahweh's Law to these Ephesians long after Yahshua's death and resurrection. Would Shaul then teach that these same Laws were nailed to a cross, and not to be kept? The answer is no, definitely not!
When one reads the Scriptures and finds words in italics, it means the italicized words have been added to the Scriptures. This is the case in Ephesians 2:15-16. The added words in these Scriptures in the King James Version have deceived millions of people for hundreds of years.
Ephesians
2:15-16—
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained
in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so
making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by
the cross, having slain the Enmity thereby.
We have established the fact that there have been words added at very critical places in these Scriptures.
Satan's lying preachers would have you believe that the enmity is Yahweh's Law. Yahweh's Law is not the enmity that Yahshua abolished, for the Apostle Shaul plainly said so in Romans 2:13, Romans 3:31, Romans 7:7, and Romans 7:12, which we have previously read. So what was the enmity that Shaul said was abolished?
Notice Shaul was speaking to Gentile converts who had turned
from a life of sin and hatred, and had turned to obeying Yahweh, as
seen in:
Ephesians 2:1-2—
1 And to you, who were dead in your
trespasses and sins;
2 In which you walked in times past according to the course of
this world, according to the prince of the power of the air: The god
(el) that is now at work in the children of disobedience.
Please note that these Ephesians were in times past disobedient, but were not disobedient at the time he was speaking to them. When they were disobedient, they were cut off from Yahweh, as all sinners are. Remember that sin is the breaking of Yahweh's Law as I Yahchanan 3:4 clearly states.
Before these Ephesians turned to Yahweh in obedience to Him, they previously lived in the way of the world, and not the way of Yahweh. Clark's Commentary, Volume 6, page 437, Abingdon Press, New York, gives us the following information on Ephesians 2:2:
Verse 2. Wherein in time past ye walked] There is much force in these expressions; the Ephesians had not sinned casually, or now and then, but continually; it was their continual employment; they walked in trespasses and sins: and this was not a solitary case, all the nations of the earth acted in the same way; it was the course of this world, kata ton aiwna tou kosmou toutou, according to the life, mode of living, or successive ages of this world. The word aiwn, the literal meaning of which is constant duration, is often applied to things which have a complete course, as the Jewish dispensation, a particular government, and the term of human life; so, here, the whole of life is a tissue of sin, from the cradle to the grave; every human soul., unsaved by Jesus Christ, continues to transgress. And the nominally Christian world is in the same state to the present day. Age after age passes on in this way and the living lay it not to heart!
The prince of the power of the air] As the former clause may have particular respect to the Jewish people, who are frequently denominated hzh slwu olam hazzeh, this world, this latter clause may especially refer to the Gentiles, who were most manifestly under the power of the devil, as almost every object of their worship was a demon, to whom the worst of passions and practices were attributed, and whose conduct his votaries took care to copy.
Satan is termed prince of the power of the air, because the air is supposed to be a region in which malicious spirits dwell, all of whom are under the direction and influence of Satan, their chief.
The spirit that now worketh] Ton nun energounto" The operations of the prince of the aerial powers are not confined to that region; he has another sphere of action, viz. the wicked heart of man, and in this he works with energy. He seldom inspires indifference to religion; the subjects in whom he works are either determinate opposers of true religion, or they are systematic and energetic transgressors of God's laws.
Children of disobedience] Perhaps a Hebraism for disobedient children; but, taken as it stands here, it is a strong expression, in which disobedience, hv apeiqeia, appears to be personified, and wicked men exhibited as her children; the prince of the power of the air being their father, while disobedience is their mother. Thus they are emphatically, what our Lord calls them, Matt. xiii, 38, children of the wicked one; for they show themselves to be of their father the devil, because they will do his works, John viii. 44.
The
Apostle Shaul then continues speaking
to the Ephesians, saying:
Ephesians 2:3-5—
3 Among whom also, we all once conducted ourselves in the
lusts of our flesh, performing the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were, by nature, the children of wrath, just as others.
4 But Yahweh, Who is rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us,
5 Even though being dead in our sins, has made us
alive with Messiah_we
will be saved through undeserved pardon.
Before their conversions, these Ephesians lived in sin. The death penalty, which is exactly what one earns for committing sin, as Romans 6:23 says, hung over them, as it does for anyone who practices sin. Only those who turn from sin, and turn to Yahweh in complete obedience to His every word, will be given the gift only Yahweh can give eternal life.
As we have read in Isayah 59:1-2, it is our sins: our breaking of Yahweh's Laws, that cut us off from Yahweh. These same Scriptures tell us the reason Yahweh will not listen to someone, is because a sinner practices sin.
Before the word of Yahweh was given to the Gentile people as a whole, they were cut off from Yahweh. Before this, only the tribes of the children of Israyl were given Yahweh's Laws, which guided them to Yahweh's salvation.
Yahweh's message of repentance, conversion, and salvation was not even preached to the Gentiles until after Yahshua Messiah came and died, paying the death penalty for the past sins of those who presently obeyed Yahweh's every Word; whether Israylite or Gentile.
Acts
11:18—
When
they heard these things, they made no further objections,
and glorified Yahweh, saying; Then Yahweh has also granted to
the Gentiles repentance unto life.
Acts
10:34-35—
34
Then Kepha opened his mouth, and said;
Of a truth I perceive that Yahweh is no respecter of persons:
35 But
in every nation he who reverences him, and
works righteousness, is accepted by Him.
Yahweh is no respecter of persons. Only those who reverence Him by obeying His every Word, and who work righteousness by practicing each one of Yahweh's Commandments, Laws, Statutes, and Judgments in their daily lives are accepted by Yahweh.
Before
Yahweh opened the way of salvation to the Gentiles, it
was considered unlawful, even to the believers (who were then all
Hebrews, by the way), to rub elbows with the Gentiles. However, this
was not an Ordinance from Yahweh, but from the Yahdaim. This ordinance
was stated by the Apostle Kepha in:
Acts
10:28—
And
he said to them; You yourselves are aware how it is not
lawful for a Yahdai to associate with one of another nation,
or to enter his house; but Yahweh has shown me that I must not call any
man common or unclean.
According
to these ordinances, it made no
difference that any Gentile might be practicing righteousness, as
Cornelius the Gentile was doing. We read this in:
Acts
10:1-2—
1
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
centurion of the Italian Cohort:
2 A
devout man, and one who
reverenced Yahweh, as did all his household; and gave many
alms to the people, and prayed to Yahweh continually.
The
word translated devout
in Acts 10:2 is #2152 eusebes
in Strong's Greek Dictionary and means: well
reverent, pious, devout. In other words, Cornelius was making
himself holy by keeping the Laws of Yahweh. Only by living by the holy
Laws and Commandments of Yahweh does one become holy. If one lives any
other way, then one lives in sin, and Yahweh considers that person to
be a sinner. Yahweh, is no respecter of persons, even if a Gentile
obeys Him, that Gentile is accepted by Him. Yahweh has proven this
through the instructions He gave through Mosheh, saying in:
Exodus
12:48-49—
48
And when a stranger lives among you...
49
One Law shall be for the native-born
and for the stranger who dwells among you.
The word translated stranger in these verses is #1616 ger in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary and means: foreigner or alien.
The
Apostle Shaul was speaking to the Ephesians, who were
strangers before Yahweh's Word was delivered to them. Then they
received Yahweh, and they were no longer strangers. They had accepted
Yahweh's holy Laws, which they had broken in times past, and they were
given the opportunity to be justified through the sacrifice of Yahshua.
We find in:
Ephesians
2:19—
Therefore,
now you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with the saints, and members of The
House of Yahweh.
As we have proven previously, there have been words added to Ephesians 2:15 which have twisted the meaning of this Scripture. Notice the underlined words in the following verses, these words have been added to the Scriptures.
Ephesians
2:14-16, KJV—
14
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even
the law of commandments contained
in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man so making
peace;
16
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by
the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
As you can see by reading this, the translators of the King James Version, by the use of added words, purposely, with the intent to falsify, deceived this world into thinking that: the Messiah came to do away with the Law.
Following is a copy of the original Greek manuscripts for Ephesians 2:15-16, as written in the Codices Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, and Vaticanus, from The Concordant Version of the Sacred Scriptures, Concordant Publishing Concern:

Therefore word for word from The
Concordant Version, these Scriptures says:
Ephesians
2:14-16__
He
for is the peace of us the One making the both one and the
mid-wall of the barrier loosing the enmity in the flesh of Him
the Law of the directions in decrees down-un-acting that the two
He-should-be-creating in Self into one new human making peace and
He-should-be-reconciling the both in the one body to the Father thru
the pale from killing the enmity in it.
In Ephesians 2:15-16 is the word translated enmity. This word comes from the Greek word echthra, word #2189 in Strong's Greek Dictionary, which is a derivative of word #2190:

Then,
Thayer's Greek-English
Lexicon of the New Testament shows us that this word in Greek
does mean: enmity. Thayer's
also shows that the word enmity was principally translated from the
Hebrew word, ayib:

The Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner, shows on page 35 that the Hebrew word ayib, means: to be hostile toward:

The word enmity in Ephesians 2:15-16, should have been written: enmity toward, enmity to. A Critical Lexicon and Concordance To The English and Greek New Testament, by Ethelbert W. Bullinger, Zondervan Publishing, Grand Rapids, MI., pages 250-251, corroborates the fact that the word enmity means: opposite to, hating another, and adverse to Him:

The enmity is toward something, which in this case is the Law of Yahweh. Yahshua Messiah, destroyed the hatred and opposition to Yahweh's Law through the sacrifice of Himself, therefore making peace between the Gentile and the Yahdai because they would love the same thing_the Law of Yahweh.
Shaul
was not saying that Yahshua abolished the Law of Yahweh,
he was saying that Yahshua had abolished the enmity_the hatred and
opposition_to all of Yahweh's Laws; the enmity that brings death.
Now,
read these Scriptures from The Book of Yahweh,
which have been correctly translated, leaving out the added words:
Ephesians
2:15-17—
15 Abolishing
the enmity; the
hatred and the opposition, to the Law, the Commandments, and
the Ordinances, through His own flesh, in order to create in Himself
one new man from the two; making peace,
16
That would reconcile both in one body to Yahweh through the
sacrifice_having killed the enmity through Himself.
17
And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off,
and to those who were near.
Ephesians
2:15-16 now agree perfectly with
all the other Scriptures of Yahweh, which command His people to keep
His Laws. We read again about the enmity against Yahweh's Law, in:
Romans
8:6-7—
6 For
to be carnally minded is death; but
to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7
Because the carnal mind is
enmity against; bitterly opposed to, Yahweh;
for it is not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be.
The
writings of Shaul in Ephesians
2:15-16 and in Romans 8:6-7 are in
perfect accord with his writings in:
Romans
3:31—
Are
we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no
means! Rather, we establish the Law!
The
Apostle Shaul would never say that
Yahweh's Laws were abolished. In fact, let us look at his teaching
concerning Yahweh's Laws in:
Romans
7:12—
Therefore
the Law is holy,
and the commandments are holy, and just, and
righteous.
All you have to do to translate Ephesians 2:14-16 correctly, is to take out the words that have been added to it by deceiving, lying translators, who had carnal minds, and who had enmity against Yahweh's Laws.S. Yahshua abolished that enmity; that hatred and opposition to Yahweh, through Himself, for those who would obey.
Ephesians
2:12—
Remember
that at that time
you were without Messiah, being aliens outside the citizenship of
Israyl, strangers to the covenant based upon promises,
having no hope, and without Yahweh in the world.
At
that time, what time was the Apostle
Shaul speaking of to these Ephesians? As the Scripture says: at the
time they were walking in disobedience. These disobedient Ephesians
were strangers to the citizenship of Israyl, as well as to the Covenant
of Promise. Yahweh makes a covenant only with those who obey Him. Read
of the blessings for obedience and the curses
for disobedience, which are recorded in Deuteronomy
28:1-68
for our instruction. The following verses are correctly translated in The
Book of Yahweh:
Ephesians
2:11-18—
11
Therefore, remember that in times past you were
Gentiles; who are called The Uncircumcised by those
who are called The Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—
12 Remember
that at that time you
were without Messiah, being aliens outside the citizenship of
Israyl, strangers to the covenant based upon promises, having
no hope, and without Yahweh in the world.
13
But now, in Yahshua Messiah, you who were once far off,
have been brought near through the blood of Messiah.
14
For He is our peace, Who has made both one, and has broken
down the dividing wall separating us—
15
Abolishing the enmity; the hatred and the
opposition, to the Law, the Commandments, and the
Ordinances, through His own flesh, in order to create in Himself one
new man from the two; making peace,
16
That would reconcile both in one body to Yahweh through the
sacrifice—having killed the enmity through Himself.
17
And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off,
and to those who were near;
18
Because through Him we both have access to the Father by
one Spirit.
Understand
that the carnal mind is against
Yahweh's Laws. It is bitterly opposed to them. Therefore the enmity is
not the Laws themselves, as the carnally minded, worldly, lying
preachers would have you to believe. The enmity is the hatred and
opposition to Yahweh's Laws, which the carnal mind harbors. So how,
then, does Yahweh rid one of the carnal mind? The answer is found in:
Hebrews
10:14-17—
14
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are
sanctified;
15
And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after He had
first said:
16
This is the covenant that I will renew with them after
those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws into their
hearts, and in their minds I will write them;
17
Then He says: Their sins and
iniquities I will remember no more.
Yahshua
our High Priest, teaches us in:
Mattithyah
5:20—
For I
say to you: Unless your righteousness exceeds the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will
certainly not enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh.
Yahshua
Messiah came teaching His Father's
Laws. He did not teach the commandments of men as Mattithyah
15:19 says, which was literally quoted from:
Isayah
29:13—
Therefore
Yahweh said: Because these people draw near to
Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have
removed their hearts far from Me, and their reverence to Me
is taught by the precept of men.
The Apostle Shaul did not teach the commandments of men either - the commandments of those who teach that Yahweh's Laws are done away with - as the lying preachers would have you to believe. The Apostle Shaul obeyed the Laws of Yahweh and taught others to obey Yahweh's Laws as well.

The Law Of The
Priesthood
Satan's
lying preachers will try to tell
you that Hebrews 10:1-12 does away with all the
Laws of Yahweh. I ask you again: Would the same man who told you of
Yahweh's renewed covenant, and the fact that Yahweh's Laws would be
written in the Hearts and Minds of His People (Hebrews 8:10,
Hebrews 10:16), then turn around and teach that these same
Laws are done away with? Don't you believe it for one moment!
Shaul was speaking about Yahshua's perfect sacrifice of Himself in Hebrews 10:1-12. The sacrificing of certain animals in the Temple in Yerusalem only kept one in remembrance of the fact that one was a sinner but those sacrifices had to be repeated over and over. Those animal sacrifices could not pay any death penalty for sin; they only caused the sinner to remember the sin he had committed. However, Yahshua, the perfect sacrifice of Himself, paid the death penalty for the Israylites and Gentiles who would turn to Yahweh and obey His every word. With this understanding, let us read these Scriptures from The Book of Yahweh:
Hebrews
10:1-12—
1 For
the Law, having a shadow of the righteous things to
come, and not the very image of the things, can
never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by
year, make those who come near perfect.
2 For
then, would they not have ceased to be offered? For the
worshipers, once purged, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
3 But
in those sacrifices there is a
remembrance; a reminder, of sins every year.
4 For
it is not
possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
5
Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: Sacrifice
and offering You did not want, but a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In
burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, You had no
pleasure.
7
Then I said: Behold, I have come (in the volume of the Book
it is written of Me) to do Your will, O Yahweh.
8
First He said: Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings and
offerings for sin You did not want, nor had pleasure in them__which
are offered according to the Law;
9
Then He said: Behold, I have come to do Your will, O Yahweh.
He takes away the first priesthood, that He may
establish the second priesthood.
10
And by that will, we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Yahshua Messiah, once for all.
11
And every priest stands daily, ministering and offering
again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12
But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice
for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of Yahweh,
The
Apostle Shaul also spoke to the Galatians about
this Law. Satan's lying preachers will tell you that the Law is a
curse. I tell you again, do not believe it. Satan's lying preachers
will come to you with:
Galatians
3:13, KJV—
Christ
hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law,
being made a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is
everyone who hangeth on a tree.
I
ask you, what is the curse of the Law?
The Law itself is not the curse, because the Apostle Yahchanan wrote
in:
Yahchanan
7:49—
But
this people who do not know the Law are cursed.
The
Apostle Shaul then shows the penalty
for being cursed in:
Hebrews
6:8—
But
that which bears thorns and briers is rejected,
and is near to being cursed; whose end is
to be burned.
The
curse of the Law is the death penalty
for having broken the Law. We read this in:
Romans
6:23—
For the
wages of sin is death; but the
gift of Yahweh is Eternal Life through Yahshua Messiah, our Savior.
Now,
correctly translated from The
Book of Yahweh:
Galatians
3:13—
Messiah
has redeemed us from the curse of
the Law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: Cursed is
everyone who hangs on a tree.
This
particular Law that the Apostle Shaul
spoke to the Galatians about was the same Law that he spoke about to
the Hebrews_the Levitical Law of the Priesthood. We find in:
Galatians
3:16-19—
16
Now the promises were made to Abraham and his seed. He does
not say: And to seeds, as if to many people, but:
And to your Seed, meaning One person: Messiah.
17
Now I say this; The Law of the
Levitical Priesthood, which
came into existence 430 years after the covenant was already ratified
by Yahweh_does not do away with, nor abolish the promise.
18
For if the inheritance is outside the Law, then it is no
longer from the promise; but Yahweh has given it to Abraham through the
promise.
19
What, then, was the purpose of the Levitical
Priesthood Law? It was added 430 years after the
covenant for forgiveness of transgressions, until the Seed
would come to Whom it had been promised, ordained by malakim through
the hand of a mediator.
This
added Law, which the Apostle Shaul
spoke of, was the Law of the Levitical Priesthood. When Mosheh brought
the Children of Israyl out of the land of Egypt, the Aaronic Priesthood
was given to Mosheh's brother, who was the firstborn son in
Mosheh's family. This Law of the firstborn as Priests was in
effect until the
incident of the golden calf at Horeb. Because of this sin, which came
to pass 430 years after the institution of the ratified covenant, with
the firstborn as Priests, the Levites were taken as Priests instead of
the firstborn, as it says in:
Numbers
3:41,45—
41
And you shall take the Levites for Me in place of
all the firstborn among the children of Israyl, and the
livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock
of the children of Israyl. I am Yahweh.
45
Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israyl, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their
livestock. The Levites shall be Mine. I am Yahweh.
Yahshua
Messiah took the place of the
Levitical Priesthood whose duty it was to stand daily, offering the
same sacrifices which could never take away sins:
Hebrews
10:11-12—
11
And every priest stands daily, ministering and offering
again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12
But this Man, after He had offered
one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of
Yahweh,
Hebrews
5:6—
As He
also says in another Scripture: You
are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews
7:21—
For
they became priests without an oath, but He with an oath
by Him Who said to Him: Yahweh has vowed and will not relent; You
are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews
10:21—
And having
a High Priest over
The House of Yahweh:
The Levitical Priesthood Law was added, because of the sin which was committed, but the covenant which was ratified at first included the firstborn as Priest as a promise.
However, Yahshua taking this place in no way does away with any of the other Laws, Statutes, and Judgments which were not added, but were Ordained from the Beginning.
The
Levitical Priesthood Law, created for the offering of
animal sacrifices after the firstborn son of the Children of Israyl had
disqualified themselves as priests, was not from the original promise.
The Apostle Shaul wrote for our understanding in:
Hebrews
9:1-15—
1 So
then, the first priesthood
had both the ordinances of service and a worldly sanctuary.
2 For
this was the tabernacle layout: the first part
in which was the lampstand, the table,
and the showbread, which is called the Holy Place;
3 And
behind the second veil, the inner part
of the tabernacle, which is called the Most Holy Place;
4
Which had the altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant
overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were placed the golden pot
that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the
covenant;
5 And above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat.
But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 Now
when these things had been arranged in this way, the
priests always went into the first part; the Holy Place,
performing the service of Yahweh;
7 But
into the second part; the Most Holy Place, only
the High Priest went once a year on the
Day of Atonement, not without blood, which he offered for
himself and for the sins of the people which
had been committed in ignorance.
8 The
Holy Spirit signifying this: that the way into the Most
Holy Place was not yet made manifest, as long as the first tabernacle
was still standing.
9
This is a representation of the present time; in which gifts
and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him that performs the
service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience—
10
Only about foods and drinks, various washings, and
ordinances of flesh, until the time of reformation.
11
But the Messiah came near as a High Priest over the
righteous things to come, with the great and more perfect tabernacle
not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;
12
Nor through the blood of goats and calves, but through His
own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once, for all, having obtained
eternal redemption.
13
For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a red
heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the
flesh,
14
How much more will the blood of the Messiah, Who, through
the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to Yahweh,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Father?
15
And for this reason He is the Mediator of the
renewed covenant, under which, through the means of death to
bring redemption from transgressions committed under the covenant, the
first who are called may receive the promise of the eternal
inheritance.
The renewed covenant, of which Yahshua Messiah is the Mediator, is not Lawless the renewed covenant, which Yahshua mediates, is to obey Yahweh's Laws completely and to love doing so.
Hebrews
10:16—
This
is the covenant that I will renew
with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws
into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.
Hebrews
10:26—
For
if we sin willfully after we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains
a sacrifice for sins.
Within forty years after Yahshua was sacrificed, the Temple in Yerusalem was destroyed. The destruction of the Temple marked the end of the animal sacrifices at that time. These animal sacrifices will not resume until the Temple in Yerusalem is rebuilt, but the people of Yahweh will have no need to offer animal sacrifices, we have our sacrifice. Yahshua, our Messiah, our Savior, our High Priest over The House of Yahweh, is our perfect sacrifice.
I would also point out to you that there is no other group, organization, Church, or Assembly, which has a High Priest, but the House of Yahweh. No other group has any Scriptural promise of a mediator through Whom to get to Yahweh. Hebrews 10:21 emphatically says that only The House of Yahweh has access to Yahweh, through the High Priest over The House of Yahweh, Yahshua Messiah.

Yahweh's
Law
Think
of what a totally different world
this would be if only Yahweh's Ten Commandments were kept. If only
these Laws were observed there would be no godworship, no breaking of
Yahweh's Sabbath day of rest, no dishonor to father or mother, no
adultery, no murder, no theft, no false testimony brought forward, and
no coveting of any kind. There would be just, perfect love for Yahweh,
and for mankind. We are instructed in:
Proverbs
2:6—
For
it is Yahweh Who gives wisdom; from
His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
To
have Yahweh's wisdom, which is His
knowledge and understanding, and then to practice Yahweh's wisdom,
would then bring the peace and joy that Yahweh desires for all His
creation. No wonder the Apostle Yaaqob calls Yahweh's Law, the perfect
Law of liberty, saying in:
Yaaqob
1:25—
But
he who looks into the perfect Law of liberty,
and perseveres; continues persistently, in it, he
is not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man will
be blessed in his performance of the Law.
The King James Version renders the last part of this verse, as: this man will be blessed in his deed. You can prove to yourself that the word translated deed is the Greek word poiesis, word #4162 in Strong's Greek Dictionary, and means: performance of the Law.
This is another example of the enmity, the hatred and opposition, which those in this world, including those who translated the King James Version and those who preach against the Laws of the Kingdom of Yahweh have against Yahweh Himself.
Knowing
that Yahshua lived a sinless life: a life without
having broken even one of Yahweh's Laws, one then understands what
Yahshua meant when He said in:
Yahchanan
15:9-12—
9 Just
as the Father has loved Me, so
have I loved you; continue in My love.
10 If
you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love;
just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in
His love.
11
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy might remain
in you, and that your joy might be complete.
12 This is My commandment: Love one another as I have loved you.
Yahshua did not give different Commandments from those of His Father. The Holy Scriptures state emphatically that Yahshua Messiah is in one accord with Yahweh His Father.
Yahchanan
17:11—
And
now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the
world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your own Name those
whom You have given Me, that they may be one; in one
accord; unity, as We are.
Yahchanan
17:17—
Sanctify
them through Your truth; Your word is truth.
Yahchanan
17:21—
That
they all may be one, as You, Father, are
in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in
Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.
Yahchanan
17:24-26—
24
Father, it is My will that they, whom You gave Me, also be
with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given
Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25 O
righteous Father! The world has not known You; but I have
known You, and these have known that You sent Me.
26
And I have made Your Name known to them, and I will
continue to make it known; that the love
with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
For people to tell you that Yahshua did away with any of His Father's Laws is a sure sign they are lying to you. For anyone to tell you that the Apostle Shaul did away with any of his Heavenly Father's Laws would also be lying to you, as well.
The
sure sign that there is no Scriptural truth in anyone who
teaches against the Law of Yahweh is found in:
Isayah
8:20—
To
the Law and to the Prophecy: if they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no
light in them.
Yahweh
does not give two different ways to
enter into His Kingdom; there is only one way way,
and Yahweh says to you:
Deuteronomy
30:15-16—
15
See, I have set before you this day life and
righteousness, and death and destruction—
16 In
that I command you this day to love Yahweh
your Father by walking in all His ways, by keeping
His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, so that you may live
and multiply, and so Yahweh your Father may bless you in the land which
you go in to possess.
This is our choice. We can either obey what Yahweh has said, and receive eternal life, or we can disobey Yahweh, and be cast out of His Kingdom. There are no two ways about it.
The Apostle Shaul taught the Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, Hebrews, and all others whom he taught, to obey Yahweh and do His will through Yahshua Messiah, His Son. Shaul taught that: If you do these things, then you will be given Yahweh's free gift of eternal life in His Kingdom.
Those
who teach another way are called liars as our Heavenly
Father inspired Yahchanan to write in:
I
Yahchanan 2:4—
He
who says: I know Him, but does not keep His law,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
The
liars who will not repent of their
lying will suffer destruction in the lake of fire, which is the second
death, as we see in:
Revelation
21:8—
But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and worshipers of gods
(elohim), and all liars, will have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone—which
is the second death.
Our
Heavenly Father also says that the only
ones who will be given eternal life, and who will enter into His Holy
City, are those who will obey His Commandments, as we see in:
Revelation
22:14—
Blessed
are those who do His
commandments, that they may have right to the tree
of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
May Yahweh bless your understanding of the Apostle Shaul's teachings, which are sometimes hard to be understood. These same teachings in no way did away with Yahweh's great and perfect Law.
