05/06/2005 Sabbath Meeting Transcript

In recent years, there seems to be a growing outcry at the removal of the Ten Commandments from courtrooms and public places. We find that various Christians are placing the commandments on their lawns and throughout their home

I rejoice that there seems to be a number of people who want to uphold the Ten Commandments. But I find in these things a great contradiction

What good is it to uphold the Ten Commandments publicly, but then proceed to purposely disobey or ignore some of them?

For instance, how many in this country observe the Sabbath as commanded by Yahweh?

Many even teach that the Sabbath was abolished when Yahushua died on the tree.

Sadly, the Ten Commandments that some are posted in prominent places will actually stand there as a witness against them.

But tonight, I would like to ponder the question....

As important as the Ten Commandments are, are the keeping of the Ten Commandments all that Yahweh desires of His people?

Surely, He desires that we repent and come to Yahushua the Messiah, but are there more than Ten Commandments?

Let's examine Yahushua's words in the following scripture..

Matthew 4:3 - And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of Elohim, command that these stones be made bread.

Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YAHWEH.

We see here that Yahushua reaffirmed what Yahweh had already said. We should live by "EVERY WORD" that proceeds out of the mouth of Father Yahweh.

Yahushua reaffirmed what Yahweh already said. We should live by "EVERY WORD" that proceeds out of the mouth of Father Yahweh.

Surely the word of Yahweh has more than just Ten commandments. In fact, He was quoting from the Torah:

Deuteronomy 8:3 - And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YAHWEH doth man live.

Our trials teach us that we must live by every word of Yahweh

His Word is the spiritual bread we need to be partaking of often

And so after this, the devil quotes some of Yahweh's Word..

Matthew 4:5 - Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

Matthew 4:6 - And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of Elohim, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

But Yahushua was not deceived. He fought back with His spiritual sword--Yahweh's word:

Matthew 4:7 - Yahushua said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt YAHWEH thy Elohim.

Where is Yahushua getting this information? Where is it "written"?

Deuteronomy 6:16 - Ye shall not tempt YAHWEH your Elohim, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Again, from the law of Yahweh, the Torah. Not the Ten Commandments..but others as well!

It is quite a tragedy actually that the Hebrew word "Torah" is translated "LAW" in our language

"Law" is actually not a very good translation. A more correct translation would be "Instruction" or "Teaching"

Those who say that Yahweh's "Law" is abolished will find it much harder to say that Yahweh's "Instruction" or "Teaching" is abolished, yes?

That would be a strange thing indeed that Yahweh would abolish His own teachings

Nevertheless, many today believe this

For they say that the teaching was only for Israel

And not for us

hmm

Therefore those who teach such a thing teach that they are not Israel

If this be the case, then they are not in the New Covenant

Jeremiah 31:31 - Behold, the days come, saith YAHWEH, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

For the new covenant is only with Israel and Judah!

Israelites had a name for those who refused to join themselves to the covenants and to Yahweh

They were called "Dogs"

And so we must beware of the dogs, yes?

Those who join themselves to Yahweh ARE Israel through Yahushua the Messiah

Galatians 3:29 - And if you are the Messiah's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Some will cling to their twisting of Paul's writings to say that Yahweh's teaching is abolished

But Paul also believed in obeying every word that proceeded out of the mouth of Yahweh, not just the Ten Commandments.

Acts 23:4 - And they that stood by said, Revilest thou Elohim's high priest?

Acts 23:5 - Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

When Paul was on trial, he heeded the word of Yahweh to not speak evil of rulers

Where was he getting this commandment? It certainly wasn't one of the Ten.

He was quoting the Torah/law:

Exodus 22:28 - Thou shalt not revile Elohim, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

In fact, if we read the so-called "New Testament"...we will find numerous places that make it clear: The words therein get their authority and doctrine from Yahushua's words and all of the Law and the Prophets, not just the Ten Commandments!

It quotes from the Torah and other parts of the Old testament to back up what it says

For instance:

Romans 9:14 - What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with YAHWEH? By no means!!

Romans 9:15 - For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Quoting from..

Exodus 33:19 - And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of YAHWEH before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

So Paul is backing up a statement he makes by quoting from the Torah

Here is a great example...

1Corinthians 5:11 - But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Was Paul just making these things up?

Let's examine another translation..

(NKJ) 1Corinthians 5:11 - But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- not even to eat with such a person.

This translation accurately says that we shouldn't "keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral,"

For the greek word refers to various sexual immoralities

But what defines what is considered to be sexually immoral?

From where does Paul get the information on what is moral and what is immoral?

Is incest, bestiality or homosexuality sexually immoral? Of course, but we surely would have to look further than the Ten Commandments to find this!

Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 18:23 - Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

Leviticus 18:24 - Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

Leviticus 18:6 - None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am YAHWEH.

Some say that the Sabbath is abolished because the commandment was not repeated in the "New Testament"

Where in the New Testament does it repeat the above commandment not to commit bestiality?

Where in the "New Testament" does it say to take 10% of your income and give it to your church?

The above commandments in Leviticus condemnt homosexuality. But believe it or not, some "homosexual Christians" are now saying that they need not heed because this is all from Leviticus.. what some would call that 'old levitical law we aren't bound to'

Indeed this is the fruit of this erroneous teaching

In 20 years, should Yahushua tarry, I would not doubt it if homosexuals become accepted into most churches

Now let's look at the verse in Corinthians again..

Where in the Ten Commandments does it forbid railing or reviling?

(NKJ) 1Corinthians 5:11 - But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- not even to eat with such a person.

Is this a new commandment that Paul dreamed up?

Revile means to regard as vile, to speak evil of or defame another.

David knew this was evil:

Psalms 101:5 - Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Yahweh's Torah/law forbids it, but not in the Ten Commandments:

Leviticus 19:16 - Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am YAHWEH.

So Paul doesn't dream up these things on his own, he gets these things from the Torah

To even further demonstrate this point, let's continue reading 1Corinthians 5:

(NKJ) 1Corinthians 5:11 - But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- not even to eat with such a person.

1 Corinthians 5:12 - For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

1 Corinthians 5:13 - But those who are outside Elohim judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."

Paul was quoting the Torah again here..

But where in the Ten Commandments does it say to "put away from yourselves the evil person"?

Nowhere

But there are many instances throughout the Torah. Here is one of them:

Deuteronomy 24:7 - If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.

Now let's examine another scripture..

Romans 10:6 - But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring the Messiah down from above:)

Romans 10:7 - Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up the Messiah again from the dead.)

Romans 10:8 - But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

"The word is nigh thee (near to you)"

The word that Paul preaches?

What is the "word" that is spoken of in this scripture?

We know that Yahushua is the Word, but what Word?

Let's look at what is being quoted from..

Deuteronomy 30:11 - For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

The Commandment isn't far away

Deuteronomy 30:12 - It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

Deuteronomy 30:13 - Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

Where is it?

Deuteronomy 30:14 - But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Contrary to popular opinion...Scripture says that the law of Yahweh was IN THE HEART of the children of Israel

Some today like to say that it used to be the 'old letter' that was followed, etc

And that today..His law is in our heart

But the same held true in those days also! They needed only to receive it

And, by the way... if the law is in our heart now, shouldn't obedience to that law be reflected on the outer layer?

But such is not the case today by those who claim it is in their heart

Yahushua, the Word is in our heart. He is the whole word.. not just Ten Commandments, not just His words in the "new testament" but the Whole Word of Yahweh!

continuing..

Deuteronomy 30:15 - See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

Deuteronomy 30:16 - In that I command thee this day to love YAHWEH thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and YAHWEH thy Elohim shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

So what "word" is the scripture speaking of here?

Clearly it is all of Yahweh's commandments, His statutes, and His judgments.

Yahushua, the Word.. obeyed all of the commandments.. not just Ten

Yahushua kept it perfectly and showed us what righteousness really is.

He is near us..even in our hearts

Thus ALL of the commandments should be also .. not just 10!

Is His whole word in our hearts, friends and brethren?

Are we rejecting parts of the Word, and thus parts of Yahushua we don't like?

If one says they have the word in their hearts, and they say Yahushua lives in them, then surely our actions should mirror Yahushua's actions through obedience to His word

Not just part..

But every word that proceeds out of Yahweh's mouth!

What other scriptures can we find here that prove Yahweh desires more of us than the keeping of Ten Commandments? There are many

2Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?

2Corinthians 6:15 - Or what harmony has the Messiah with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

2Corinthians 6:16 - Or what agreement has the temple of YAHWEH with idols? For we are the temple of the living Elohim; just as YAHWEH said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.

2Corinthians 6:17 - "Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate," says YAHWEH. "And do not touch what is unclean; and I will welcome you.

2Corinthians 6:18 - "And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me," says YAHWEH Almighty.

This is a quote from Isaiah

Again, Paul uses the Torah for his authority

continuing..

2Corinthians 7:1 - Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of YAHWEH.

Now this is interesting. Where in scripture can we find definitions of what is clean and what is unclean? Where do we learn about cleansing ourselves from the defilement of our flesh? Paul says "Therefore" meaning "because of this" or because of what I just quoted... let's cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh

Paul obviously assumes that the readers of this letter would know.

We need only look in Leviticus chapters 11 thru 15 to find out what is clean and what is unclean according to Yahweh.

What is of significant importance is the commandments regarding what we choose to put in Yahweh's temple.

When the temple still stood, it was forbidden for anything or anyone unclean to come near or enter in

1Corinthians 6:19 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of YAHWEH, and ye are not your own?

1Corinthians 6:20 - For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify YAHWEH in your body, and in your spirit, which are His.

Yahweh's temple, therefore, should not be filled with unclean things

In fact, there are certain unclean things that Yahweh would not want us to touch..let alone eat.

But why is this ignored? Bottom line is, people like their pork.. and they don't want to appear what they view as "Jewish".

They like their shellfish and don't want to give it up.

Others are just ignorant or led astray by the dogs

Some are blind, and blind lead the blind

Only the light of Torah will enable us to see, but we must receive it or we will remain blind!

So we should cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the FLESH AND SPIRIT. Clearly this is speaking of both physical and spiritual uncleanness.

Now some would like to accuse those who believe in keeping these commandments in Yahweh's law of "Walking in the oldness of the letter".

But what does this really mean?

Is obeying the law of Yahweh something that is opposed to walking in the Spirit?

Some would have you believe so

But Yahweh doesn't say so

In fact, He says just the opposite would happen to a Spirit filled person:

Exodus 36:27 - And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

Ezekiel 36:27 - And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

The works of the flesh are disobedience to the law of Yahweh.

But walking in the Spirit and having the Spirit living in us is to be living in obedience to the law of Yahweh.

If you are walking in the Spirit then you will not obey the lusts of the flesh because the Spirit of Yahweh is what will cause you to "walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them!"

"Walking in the Spirit" is yet again another principle from that "Old Testament" that people think is done away with now

But the "Old Testament" isn't done away.. it is very much alive!

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of YAHWEH is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

When we are tempted to sin, we can call on Yahweh to help us to overcome by His Spirit.

Romans 7:1 - Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

Romans 7:2 - For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

Romans 7:3 - So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Romans 7:4 - Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of the Messiah; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto YAHWEH.

Those who are in Yahushua are 'dead to the law' that Yahweh gave.

Indeed, the law does condemn us because we have failed to keep it in our lives. We must die

We are dead to the law because the eternal death penalty imposed on us for breaking that law has come to pass .. we participate in Yahushua's death that we participate in when He dwells in us

When we repent and are baptized in Yahushua, the baptism represents our participating death with Yahushua and resurrection to a new life. Therefore, we have freedom from the death penalty and condemnation that the law would bring.. for we reckon ourselves dead, and alive in Messiah

We already died to the old man that was bound to keeping that law "PERFECTLY" in order to be able to stand before Yahweh. We are raised up as a new man, the man Yahushua the Messiah living in us--walking a new life!

Those who aren't in Yahushua (or are expecting their law-keeping to save them rather than Messiah) are still "under the law" of Yahweh. Therefore, they will be held by its penalty for not observing it

This penalty is eternal death, for the wages of sin is death.

These things I speak because what the following scriptures declare:

Romans 7:5 - For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

BEFORE we knew Yahushua, we were in the flesh

The Torah revealed our sin

Therefore our members brought forth fruit unto death

Romans 7:6 - But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

So what does it mean to be serving in the oldness of the letter?

Is it referring to those who have accepted the Messiah and are trying to let Yahushua the Messiah live in them by following His example of keeping the Torah/law of Yahweh?

According to the scriptures here the 'oldness of the letter' is referring to the time BEFORE we accepted the Messiah and we were in the flesh...in our sins.

Indeed...what is sin?

1John 3:4 - Whoever commits sin trangresses also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law.

So walking in the oldness of the letter is living a life that mirrors the OLD man. That man is under condemnation by SINNING...breaking His law...living apart from the salvation that Yahushua brings! The letter kills... not saves. It condemns us, and cannot justify us because we have not kept it

Walking in the oldness of the letter entails an expectation that somehow that law is going to save us, rather than the righteousness of Yahweh through His Messiah. But it can't, for we won't be able to say to Yahweh on judgment day.. "See, I kept your commandments!"

Walking in the oldness of the letter does not refer to those who are in Messiah and are seeking to be obedient to the commandments that Yahweh gave.

If it did, then we would be "walking in the oldness of the letter" every time we honored our parents

For the Torah/law says to "Honor your Father and Mother"

Surely, all those times Paul quoted the Torah to support his statements he was not doing it to make us walk in the oldness of the letter

Romans 7:14 - For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

The law IS spiritual

The problem is...'we' are carnal

See how satan twists everything around to make you feel guilty for obeying Yahweh!!!?

And the dogs do this

But the wages of sin (breaking the law of Yahweh/transgression of the law) is death

But now, in Yahushua we are freed from the penalty of death that he paid for us

Indeed, this is why the letter kills but the Spirit gives life

The letter kills us because of our deeds. But the law itself is innocent..the law itself is not sin. WE were the guilty party here.

Let's continue in Romans 7:

Romans 7:6 - But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Romans 7:7 - What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means!! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Romans 7:8 - But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

This confirms the earlier verse which stated that sin is transgression of the law. It is by the law we know what sin is

And as we have seen..there is more in His law than just the Ten Commandments

And so now I ask, "will those who willfully and defiantly continue to transgress Yahweh's law after accepting and believing in Yahushua be walking according to the Spirit?"

How can they be?

They are not walking in the Spirit, but are walking in the oldness of the letter by walking in the flesh....breaking His commandments

The Spirit (as we read earlier) leads us to keep the commandments, not break them!

For the works of the flesh ARE breaking the commandments/sin:

Romans 8:5 - For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Some say that we are walking after the flesh by seeking to keep the commandments and live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh, Old testament or New

What does Scripture say?

Are we after the flesh or after the Spirit when we subject ourselves to Yahweh's Torah/law?

Let's read on

Romans 8:6 - For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:7 - Because the carnal mind is enmity against YAHWEH: for it is not subject to the law of YAHWEH, neither indeed can be.

So walking according to the flesh is not referring to those who observe the law of Yahweh....but those who break it continually and have no part in Yahushua

For in the above scriptures, walking according to the flesh is the same as being carnally minded

And being carnally minded is the same as not being subject to the law of Yahweh

Brethren, sisters, friends... guess what?

If we refuse to subject ourselves to Yahweh's law... Romans 8:7 says that our mind is enmity against Yahweh

No way around it

Those who are in Yahushua and are walking in the Spirit are those who subject themselves to the law of Yahweh

Only those who are carnally minded will refuse to

For His word IS Spirit...and is life

If Yahushua is the word and has been the word..then in Him the law of Yahweh speaks

and He said:

John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

It is wrong, but it is needful for a Spirit filled man to be subject to His Torah/Law. We can not continue to sin (break the law of Yahweh) so that grace may abound..

Romans 6:1 - What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that favor may abound?

Romans 6:2 - By no means!! How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Truly, this is insulting the spirit of grace

Now, if we do sin, we have an advocate with the Father if we are humble and confess our sins to Him.

1John 2:1 - My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Yahushua the Messiah the righteous.

HalleluYah for that!!

We would all be lost!

1John 2:2 - And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

But listen..

1John 2:3 - Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

1John 2:4 - He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

By that we know that we know Him! Why? Because He kept His commandments and He wants to keep those commandments in us. If we refuse to let Him, we are rejecting His presence in us

Notice though it says "His commandments".. hmmm what were they?

1John 2:5 - But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of YAHWEH is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

1John 2:6 - He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

By this we know that we are in Him because the Spirit of Yahweh is in us...causing us to walk in His statutes...

Now some say... "well, that's referring only to the Two commandments Yahushua gave.. love Yahweh and love your neighbor

What else did He say about those two commandments?

First of all, they were from the Torah/law!

Deuteronomy 6:5 - And thou shalt love YAHWEH thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Leviticus 19:18 - Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am YAHWEH.

Secondly...

Matthew 22:40 - On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Yet, how many today would like to cut the law and prophets off the the two commandments on which they hang!

So many think those two commandments replace the law. But this is not true, for the Torah and prophets hang on them. There is not a commandment written that doesn't have love for Yahweh and/or our neighbor in mind

1John 2:6 - He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Yahushua kept every commandment, which meant He kept the two most important. Even the two most important commandments aren't included in the "Ten Commandments"!

But the two greatest commandments are what the "Ten Commandments" and all of the law and prophets are all about!

If He is in us, He will keep those commandments in us..

Thus, the Spirit of Yahweh leads us to keep Torah

Don't forget..

Ezekiel 36:27 - And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

1John 4:13 - By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

Does He abide in you?

He wants to

He gave His life so that He could

He gave His life because you broke these commandments, you did not heed His word

Don't believe the lie that now you are free to break them again

Believe the truth, and walk as Yahushua walked

How did Yahushua walk?

How did Yahushua walk??!?! WWYD? This should settle everything!

He's the word, He's the answer here!!

You see, Yahushua fulfilled or "obeyed" the scripture that was speaking of Him.

He obeyed Yahweh's law....PERFECTLY <----- !!!

EVERY WORD

Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YAHWEH.

So if Yahushua loved Yahweh with all His heart...

And certainly loved us so

And if He kept the Sabbath, if He kept the feastdays, if He wore tassels, if He ate only clean foods, if He proclaimed the name of Yahweh, if He loved the brethren enough to give His life for them, if He obeyed the Torah/Law ofYahweh...which I KNOW HE DID

Then may Yahweh bless those who "walked as He walked" for it is certain that He did these things.. and it shows that HE LIVES IN YOU!

So contrary to popular Christian doctrine, those who do not wish to do these things are not walking as He walked and are not walking according to the newness of So contrary to popular Christian doctrine, those who do not wish to do these things are not walking as He walked and are not walking according to the newness of Spirit, but perhaps ignorantly are carnally minded and wish to live in the oldness of letter

The word of Yahweh is death to those who fail to keep it, but is life to those who trust in Yahushua for salvation and walk in it

May we all be among those who live according to the Spirit.... and walk in the Spirit, being spiritually minded...

May be be among those ... one of those who live just as Yahushua did by living according to every single word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh..

...not just the Ten Commandments.

May Yahweh bless you and may He have mercy on us all!
