Galatians and Leviticus What do they have in common?

Idioms -Rocket scientist -Keep my eye on you -A can shy of a six pack -Dumber than a doorknob -Kicked the bucket -A real whiz -On his soap box -Off the top of my head -Stick in the mud -Pain in the neck -Cold hearted -Knuckle head -Hard headed -Stiff necked -Pulling my leg -Rained on his parade

Two Hebrew Idioms we are going to Focus on for this Discussion. 1-Works of the law 2- The circumcision

3- Saved by Faith, not by Works

Many people teach that the Torah was not given until Mt. Sinai. But I propose that Mt. Sinai was a re-introduction of the Torah. Following are some examples of clear Torah laws understood prior to Mt. Sinai.

Laws Clearly Identified Prior to Mt. Sinai

-Do not steal -Do not covet -Do not murder -Sin offerings -Burnt offerings -Dietary laws -Not to eat blood

-Sabbath -Not adding or taking from Yahwahs word -The niddah laws -Homosexuality -Incest

Look at the Garden of Eden alone and see what Torah commandments were plainly broken: -Covetousness -Stealing -Greed -Lust of the eyes -Distrust of Yahwah -Following a false god -Idolatry -Fleshly appetite -Self-exaltation -Denial -Blaming

In all I have identified to date, 86 sins and/or sinful patterns of behavior that can be traced back to the Garden of Eden.

Can you imagine, Yahwah flooding the Earth to destroy all mankind, without telling them His Torah and providing them an opportunity to repent?

Can you imagine, Yahwah destroying all the souls of Sodom and Gomorrah, without telling them His Torah and providing them an opportunity to repent?

Do we really believe that He allowed 3500 years to pass and the destruction of the Earth by flood, and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by fire, to pass before He decided to finally get around to telling people that it is wrong to:

-Have sex with an animal?

-Wrong to practice witchcraft or sorcery?

Wrong to worship other elohim?

Wrong to pervert justice?

Wrong to Prostitute our Daughters?

Understand that to this very day, people practice these abominations, even people who know what the Torah says.

The Scriptures say that Noach was a preacher of righteousness; 2 Kepah (2 Peter) 2:5 Mizmor (Psalm) 119:172 says that all Yahwahs commandments are righteousness

How can one preach righteousness, if His Torah of righteousness had not yet been revealed to the inhabitants of the Earth?

Biblical Definition of Sin

I Yahuchanan (I John) 3:4

3:4 Whoever sins violates the Torah, for sin is the violation of Torah.

Cains Knowledge of Torah Bresheet (Genesis) 4:7

4:7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, then sin (the desire to violate Torah) lies crouched at your door waiting to devour you; but you must overcome it.

Avrahams Knowledge of Torah

Bresheet (Genesis) 26:4,5

26:4 I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of the sky; and I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your Seed all the nations of the Earth shall be blessed.

Avrahams Knowledge of Torah 26:5 because Abraham obeyed My voice, and guarded and preserved My commandments as defined and ordained in My Laws.

Burnt offerings and sin offerings as evidence of Torah Take note that sin offerings and burnt offerings were offered up from the time of Abel, to Noach, to Yyob, all the way up to Avraham and beyond, and that if there had been no knowledge of Torah during that time that there would have, likewise, been no need for the burnt offerings and sin offerings.

King Yeshuas Word on the Torah Mattityahu (Matthew) 5:17-19

5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets; I did not come to destroy them, but to bring them out in fullness.

King Yeshuas Word on the Torah 5:18 For truly I say to you, that until the heavens and the Earth pass, not the smallest stroke of the pen will pass from the Torah until all things have been brought to completion.

King Yeshuas Word on the Torah 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks the least of these commandments and teaches others so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven, and whoever does and teaches them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Yaaqovs (James) Word on the Torah

The Torah Provides Liberty

Yaaqov (James) 1:12 1:12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the Torah of liberty.

The Apostle Shauls Word on the Torah Romans 7:12,14

7:12 Therefore, the Torah is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good. 7:14 the Torah is spiritual

The Apostle Shauls Word on the Torah

Romans 8:6-9 8:6 to be fleshly minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and shalom. 8:7 Because the fleshly mind is bitterly opposed to Yahwah; for it is not submissive to the Torah of Yahwah, nor indeed can it be.

The Apostle Shauls Word on the Torah

Romans 8:6-9
8:8 So then those who are in the flesh cannot please Him. 8:9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, IF indeed the Ruach of Yahwah dwells in you

As Maaseh (Acts) says:

Maaseh (Acts) 5:32

For He gives His Ruach haKadosh (Holy Spirit) to those who obey Him.

Back to Shaul

Romans 6:1,2, 12
6:1What shall we say then? Shall we continue to violate Torah so that His grace may abound?

6:2 Of course not! For how can we who died to Torah violation, live any longer therein?

Back to Shaul

Romans 6:1,2, 12
6:12 Therefore, do not let the desire to violate Torah reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

King Solomons Word on Torah Mishlei (Proverbs) 6:23

6:23 the commandment is a lamp, and the Torah is light.

King Davids Word on Torah

Mizmor (Psalm) 119:142

119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your Torah is Truth.

119:151 You are near O Yahwah, and all Your commandments are Truth.

Yahuchanans (Johns) Word on Torah

I Yahuchanan (I John) 3:6-10 3:6 Whoever remains in Yeshua does not continue to violate Torah. Whoever violates Torah and neither seen Him or known Him.

3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous even as He is righteous.

Yahuchanans (Johns) Word on Torah

I Yahuchanan (I John) 3:6-10 3:8 He who violates Torah is of the Evil One, for the Evil One has violated Torah from the beginning. And for this purpose was the Son of Yahwah revealed so that He might destroy this work of the Evil One.

Yahuchanans (Johns) Word on Torah I Yahuchanan (I John) 3:6-10 3:9 Whoever has been born of Yahwah does not continue to violate Torah, for His Seed remains in him, and he cannot continue to violate Torah, for he has been born of Yahwah. 3:10 And in this the children of Yahwah and the children of the Evil One is revealed

Yahuchanans (Johns) Word on Torah

I Yahuchanan (I John) 3:6-10

3:10 And in this the children of Yahwah and the children of the Evil One are distinguished

So, is the Torah Really Done Away in Galatians?

Avraham was Given the Promise 430 years prior to the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai
Bresheet (Genesis) 26:4,5

Avraham Kept and Guarded the Torah And the Promises given to Avraham were passed down to Yitzak because Avraham was faithful to walk blamelessly in the Torah. Bresheet (Genesis) 17:1; 26:4,5

So some other law was given at Mt. Sinai that had not existed prior. Something new. What?

What does Galatians say?

Galatians 5:19-21 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident which are: adultery, pre-marital relations, impurity of thought and motive, shamelessness of behavior,

5:20 idol worship, sorcery, hatred, argumentativeness, jealousy, outburst of wrath, selfish pursuits, bitterly driven divisions, spreading of false doctrines,

What does Galatians say?

Galatians 5:19-21
5:21 envy, murder, drunkenness, partying, and the like, of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who

practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of Yahwah.

The Apostle Shaul says the same and/or similar things in: I Corinthians 6:9,10

Ephesians 5:3-6
Colossians 3:5-9 So clearly the moral laws are being taught here.

What Does Shaul say about Ceremonial Uncleanness Ephesians 5:3-6 5:5 for this you know, that no one who engages in premarital relations, no unclean person, nor covetous man, nor idol worshipper, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Messiah and of Elohim.

What Does Shaul say about Ceremonial Uncleanness II Corinthians 6:17,18

6:17 Therefore, come out from among them, and be you separate says Yahwah. Do not touch the unclean thing, and I will receive you.

6:18 And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says Yahwah El Shaddai.

What Does Shaul say about Ceremonial Uncleanness The word in these two passages translated as unclean come from the Greek word: (A-kar-tha-tus)
and means ceremonial uncleanness

What about the Sacrifices?

The Apostle Shaul in Maaseh (Acts) 21:21 took a Nazerite vow at the Temple which required the offering up of sacrifices; which, according to verse 24:17 he did on behalf of his nation. He also states in verse 25:8 that He has not done anything against the Torah, or even against the Temple.

What about the Sacrifices? And in verse 24:21 that it is only because of his message concerning the Messiah Yeshua and the resurrection of the dead that people took issue with him.

So the Brit Chadasha speaks loudly and clearly about the necessity of obedience to our Fathers Torah. And the Apostle Shaul himself, the Apostle to the Nations (to the Gentiles) taught not just the Moral aspect of the Torah, but also the ceremonial, and himself offered up sacrifices at the Temple.

Additionally, concerning the future, -Malachi 4:4,5 says to remember the Torah before the Day of Wrath of Yahwah comes. -Zecharyahu (Zechariah) 14 says that the nations of Gentiles will be compelled to go to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Sukkot every year; and,

Yeshyahu (Isaiah) 66:16,17 says that those who eat pigs flesh shall be among those who are consumed in Yahwahs wrath.

And ULTIMATELY The remnant of Yahwahs people whom the beast/false messiah seeks to destroy, are those Who obey the commandments of Yahwah and have the Testimony of Yeshua Hitgalut (Revelation) 12:17 & 14:12

As it says in Yeshyahu (Isaiah) 8:20 To the Torah and the Testimony, If ANYONE does not speak according to these words, it is BECAUSE they have NO LIGHTin them.

So what is the Torah?

Yahwahs standard that defines the Way of Life and path of Death for us so that we may choose Life and Live.

And what is His Testimony?

That Yahwah has given us Eternal Life, and that this Life is in His Son; I Yahuchanan (I John) 5:11 Who gave His life for us for the Remission of Torah violations that are past; Romans 3:24,25

So if all these things are so, then what on Earth is Galatians talking about then?

Temple Times in Yeshuas Day Why are the Scriptures silent? Or are they?

Some Examples of Different types of Laws Spoken of in the Brit Chadasha -Law of sin -Law of the spirit (the Torah) -Human/civil law -Temple Law/Law of sacrifices
So whenever we read something that says law we have to determine from the context of the passage and related Scriptures which law is currently being referred to.

So which law is being spoken about here? Romans 7:7

What shall we say then, is the law sin? Of course not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law; for I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said You shall not covet.

In Ephesians 2:14,15
Hehas broken down the middle wall of division between us (between Jew and Gentile)

Having abolished in His flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in human ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, bringing shalom.

Here is an example of a place where the law is referring specifically to the Levitical Order of sacrifices.
Hebrews 10:1

10:1 For the law having a shadow of the good 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 approach perfect.

Hebrews 9:11
But Mashiach came it says. ______________________________ Did you know, the whole expectation of the Jewish people in King Yeshuas day was not to be freed from Elohims righteous Instruction contained in His Torah, but to see the coming of the long awaited Messiah, the Seed of Havah, who would deliver us from sin and death, and ultimately from our enemies.

Evreem (Hebrews) 9:11-15

(picture yourself reading this as a Jew with all the background I just gave you) 9:11 But Mashiach came as Cohen haGadol of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect mishkan (tabernacle) not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

9:12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained an eternal redemption for us.

9:13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, and the sprinkling of the ceremonially unclean, sanctified to the purification of the flesh,

9:14 Then how much more shall the Blood of Mashiach (ben Yoseph), Who through the eternal Ruach offered Himself without spot to Yahwah, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living Elohim? 9:15 For this reason, He is the Mediator of the Brit Chadasha, through His death, for the redemption of the violations of Torah committed under the prior covenant, that those who are called may receive the Promise of the eternal inheritance.

Hebrews 9:15 For this reason, He is the Mediator of the Brit Chadasha, through His death, for the redemption of the violations of Torah committed under the prior covenant, that those who are called may receive the Promise of the eternal inheritance.

Galatians 3:19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of violations of Torah until the Seed should come to who the Promise was made; and appointed by heavenly Messengers through the hand of a Mediator.

How many have read the Book of Evreem (Hebrews)?

So does the Book of Evreem (Hebrews) talk about how the Torah has been allegedly done away, or about how there has been a change in priesthood from the Levitical Order back to the Melchizadoc Order of priesthood?
