This could have easily been titled the importance of the Tanakh (Scripture from Genesis to Malachi), but my passages concern the Torah and Jesus' relation to them. I want to bring it out in this thread something particularly important to born-again believers who claim to be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, and identify with Christ and Christianity. What I must share come directly from mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers. This is clear and there is no ambiguity in His message in this post. And those that are true, born-of-God believers will see the truth of what I must share. If you do see the truth in the words of Jesus Christ, then please make comment. This is from the mouth from your Savior.

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Luke 10:25–28.

The word Lawyer" in verse 25 is "Nomikos" is from the Greek word "nomos" which means: "according (or pertaining) to law, i.e. legal (ceremony); as noun, an expert in the (Mosaic) law.

This "certain man" undoubtedly may have been a scribe or even a priest in the Sanhedrin. It says that he came to Jesus by day to test Him. The word "tempted" merely means "to test thoroughly."

This man is certainly a son of Abraham. Not only that, but through his father Jacob he comes to get Jesus' position on what turned out from the text focuses on the Torah or "the Law" (of Moses.) The man asked plainly what he could do to inherit eternal life and Jesus directed this man to the Torah (Law of Moses) by saying, "What is written in the law? how readest thou?"
In response the man quotes the tallest verse in Scripture taken from Deuteronomy 6:5 which reads: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind;" To which the man adds: "and thy neighbour as thyself" (neighbor being one of the other members of the twelve tribes of Israel when the command of God was first given at the time of the Tabernacle.)

In reply Jesus says: "Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."
At the time of this "testing thoroughly" by this expert in the Law, Jesus does two things to answer the man seeking eternal life as is his inheritance and birthright as seed of Abraham. But what does this Carpenter from Nazareth have to say?
Jesus first directs the man to the Law of Moses (Torah), second, Jesus instructs the man "this do" (obey the Law of Moses) and he shall live.
Many Christians, specifically Gentile Christians teach and say the Law of Moses has been abolished of superseded by the New Covenant but that is not necessarily true if the Lord directs and instructs His people to obey the Law. Are we to obey the Law of Moses which Gentile Christianity teaches is "abolished"? But there's more.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17–19.

When Christians read this, and they come to the word "fulfill" they think Jesus is teaching the end of the Law of Moses but that's not what Jesus is saying. Christians understand that through the word "fulfill" that Jesus is saying "the end" of something. So, let's look at the word "fulfill."
The Greek word "plēroō" means "to make replete, i.e. (literal) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figurative) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction), etc. [James Strong.]

Christ did not come to do away with, or abolish, the Torah, He came to complete it. Not in the sense of complete as to finish, and finish in the sense of end; in most your Bibles probably “fulfill” is the word used instead of complete. The Greek used here is the word “pleroo”. Any good concordance will tell you it means to "fill up", to "accomplish." But, in our modern English vernacular fulfill gives the sense of something that is ended. Rather, the true meaning of fulfill is simply to “fulfill” or “fill up”.
Pleroo would be a good word to tell the attendant at the gas station (if there WERE such things anymore) because it has the sense of “fill’er up”. Christ came to fulfill the Torah of meaning and to bring it to its fullest extent. When you ask the gas attendant to fill up your tank, you don’t mean to bring your tank or your gasoline to an end, You mean to give you all he can. Fill it up to the fullest capacity. That gives you an idea of what the word pleroo means. Not one jot or tittle shall pass away till everything is fulfilled, or ended, but to its fullest capacity. Taking Jesus' direction and instruction to obey the Law of Moses to the man seeking answer to his inheritance and birthright as a son of Abraham, Jesus would not tell the man to obey the Law if in a matter of weeks, He was to abolish it on His cross. He would be insincere if this was to be the case.

While it has been the teaching of the Gentile church for centuries to imply, if not outright state, that the Old Testament is of no value to a modern Believer or that the Old Testament principles no longer apply since the advent of Christ.
It was the Old Testament that the original group of 12 disciples of Christ taught from. It was what Jesus Himself taught, quoted, and venerated so highly. It was what the Apostles taught the Gospel message from. And that is because the Gospel message is an Old Testament message. The complete Gospel is spoken of in the Old Testament. Jesus didn’t write a new gospel. He simply fulfilled that which was previously written about Him by the writers of the Old Testament.

In conclusion, I leave you with this passage of Scripture again from the mouth of the Lord:

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
John 5:46–47.

Jesus makes a connection between what is written in the Law of Moses about Him and what He says today. Had the religious leaders believed Moses and his testimony in the Law of Moses about the coming Redeemer, Savior, Lord, and King, then they would also believe Jesus' words because Jesus taught from out of the Law. But if one takes the teaching that the Law of Moses has been abolished by the cross, and Jesus says that to understand Him one must first understand the Law of Moses and what was first there written about Him.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus taught the Law of Moses. Jesus directed and instructed a man to obey the Law of Moses. Jesus, in effect had not only defended the Law of Moses from the traditions of the elders who elevated their traditions above the Law of Moses, He established and fulfilled the Law of Moses in His death, burial, and resurrection. And Jesus connects knowing Him to knowing the Law of Moses which spoke about Him. But if your position is the Law of Moses is abolished or obsolete, the according to Jesus who defended the Law of Moses from those who thought He came to abolish or destroy the Law of Moses, His answer was brief, "I came to fulfill the Law of Moses.," and He adds "not one jot or tittle from the Law shall pass away till everything is fulfilled or completed. Everything has not been fulfilled or completed. If you want to teach the textbook answer of Gentile teaching that the Law of Moses was abolished, Jesus' answer is, "No, it isn't." You can be saved and teach the abolishment of the Law and teach others as you believe, but you will be called "least" in the kingdom. Me? I'm ambitious. The Law of Moses is necessary in the Redemptive Plan of God, and I receive it. Without the Law of Moses there would be no New Covenant. And I am prepared to share with you how this is so.

While it has been the teaching of the Gentile church for centuries to imply, if not outright state, that the Old Testament is of no value to a modern Believer or that the Old Testament principles no longer apply since the advent of Christ.

I believe although we can not be "justified" by the law. As Paul states:

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain." (NKJV, Galatians 2:21)

We certainly have been instructed to live righteously.

You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? (NKJV, James 2:19)

Of the Gentile, the church stated:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell. (Act 15:28-29)

We as Gentiles are to keep the "spirit of the law", not its festivals, washings, etc.

But you are right the law has not been abolished. We still must keep what it commands.

Way too long an opening post. Before the thread gets lengthy tell me (and everyone else) - in one to three sentences - what is the single point of comment or inquiry for discussion.

 

[prism]

Paul summed up the matter in Rom 3:9-10.
Yes Jesus taught the Law of Moses (and even beyond in Mt chps 5-7) apparently with the motive to reveal our sin and helplessness to break down pride and human arrogance in preparation for the Gospel. (It's a Law/Gospel thing).

I want to bring it out in this thread something particularly important to born-again believers who claim to be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, and identify with Christ and Christianity.

Not a claim if repented of sinning and walking as He walked, but the truth they are doing.

It's only a claim for unrepented trespassers, that are still walkiing 'sort of' as they've always walked since sinning against God.

And those that are true, born-of-God believers will see the truth of what I must share. If you do see the truth in the words of Jesus Christ, then please make comment.

Always do dee the truth of any Scripture quoted.

Don't always see the truth of Scripture shared in what others teach about it.

Many Christians, specifically Gentile Christians teach and say the Law of Moses has been abolished of superseded by the New Covenant but that is not necessarily true if the Lord directs and instructs His people to obey the Law.

Not if he instructs His Christians today to obey, as commanded by His apostles.

What He instructed fellow Jews to obey before His death, burial, and resurrection was the law of Moses.

I'm not intrested in you sharing your Judaizing.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

And so he did fulfill the law of Moses in life, and prophecy of old at the cross and at His resurrection.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

All of the law of Moses has passed and decayed at the Lord's resurrection. Now the law of the risen Christ is commanded by God to obey.

When Christians read this, and they come to the word "fulfill" they think Jesus is teaching the end of the Law of Moses but that's not what Jesus is saying.

True. He fullfilled it every day of His life, which He came to do in sight of all.

He ended the law of Moses by the law of Christ at His resurrection.

Christ did not come to do away with, or abolish, the Torah, He came to complete it.

Not in the sense of complete as to finish, and finish in the sense of end;

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Not in the sense of complete as to finish, and finish in the sense of end; in most your Bibles probably “fulfill” is the word used instead of complete. The Greek used here is the word “pleroo”. Any good concordance will tell you it means to "fill up", to "accomplish." But, in our modern English vernacular fulfill gives the sense of something that is ended. Rather, the true meaning of fulfill is simply to “fulfill” or “fill up”.
Pleroo would be a good word to tell the attendant at the gas station (if there WERE such things anymore) because it has the sense of “fill’er up”.

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Christ came to fulfill the Torah of meaning and to bring it to its fullest extent.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Taking Jesus' direction and instruction to obey the Law of Moses to the man seeking answer

To the Jewish man seeking an answer from the law of Moses.

While it has been the teaching of the Gentile church for centuries to imply, if not outright state, that the Old Testament is of no value to a modern Believer

Mistating teachings to accuse them, is common with them that first mistate the Bible to teach otherwise.

or that the Old Testament principles no longer apply since the advent of Christ.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

All Scripture is good principle, and is never bad advice. But all Scripture is not law, and no Scripture of the OT is law of Christ for the NT.

It was the Old Testament that the original group of 12 disciples of Christ taught from.

12 chosen apostles. Many more disciple, though they all forsook Him at the cross.

In the NT there are now many discieple taught by the doctrine of the restored newborn apostles, save one.

It was what the Apostles taught the Gospel message from.

True. The gospels were of the Lord coming to the Jews first, fullfing the law of Moses daily unto the end.

And that is because the Gospel message is an Old Testament message.

And foreshading the whole new beginning covenant of the resurrected God of Israel.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
John 5:46–47.

True. Abraham speaking to one of his wicked sons, borne witness by Jesus before His death, burial, and resurrection.

And now, the unbelieving Jews still look to the law of Moses.

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

As well as Judaizers. Though not all, but only in the parts they like...

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TORAHthe​

The importance of all Scripture yesterday and today, is good principle and instruction.

The specific importance of the all Scripture from Exodus to Malachi, is knowing the law of Moses for the children of Israel.

The specific importance of the all Scripture from Romans to Revelation, is knowing the law of Christ for the sons of God.

The specific importance of all Scripture in the gospels from Matthew to John, is knowing the man Jesus fulfilled all the law of Moses, and was crucified and buried because of it. But is risen again for His New Covenant with all men that repent.

We are not under the curse of the Law, we obey it because we love Jesus Christ.

Why would Jesus teach that we should obey and teach the 10 Commandments if He did not intend Christians to do so? And if He DID intend Christians not to obey them, why did His closest followers (who knew far better than you or I what Jesus intended) obey them after His death?
Lk. 23:54-56

It just doesn't follow Scripture that we are to do away with the 10 Commandments. They are the foundation of the Christian Faith.

Again, Jesus created them, taught them, obeyed them and His followers (the first Christians) obeyed them dutifully after His death.

It's very telling how 9 of the 10 Commandments are repeated in the New Covenant, but the command to obey the 7th day Sabbath is not.

My Bible states that Jesus "stood for to read" every single Sabbath of His life and never once broke the Sabbath Commandment or that would have made Him a sinner.

If you admit that it was made clear in the NT that 9 of the Commandments are still to be kept, how do you then hypocritically rail against the keeping of them today?

Especially in light of Jesus' preaching in Matt. 5:19-20 and 23:1-3?

The other 9 are repeated in the New Covenant.
I hope I don't have to keep repeating this truth.

Especially in light of Jesus' preaching in Matt. 5:19-20 and 23:1-3?

Further proof that the Old Covenant is no longer binding.

 

[jeremiah1five]

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Lk 10:25–28.

Jesus first directs the man to the Law of Moses (vs. 26.)

Then, Jesus instructs the man to obey the Law of Moses and in doing this he shall live (vs 28.)

It would be disingenuous, hypocritical, and downright dishonest for Jesus to direct and instruct the man to obedience of the Law of Moses if in a few short weeks He was going to 'abolish' it or end it on His cross.
Jesus fulfilled the Law; He didn't end it. Jesus was kosher. He obeyed everything in the Law. So, if one calls themselves "Christiani (Christ-follower) then why don't they follow His in His obedience of the Law. Now that they've become a spiritual new creation it fits like hand in glove. It only takes on a deeper meaning under the New Covenant.
When God sits on His throne at Jerusalem and the Jews occupy their Promised Land, God will cleanse all Gentiles from out of their land and not only that, but Jews and Gentiles will be commanded every year to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to celebrate one of three major Feasts in the Law of Moses: the Feast of Tabernacles.
So, I think Gentile Christians would do well to brush up on the things of God's Law because several things will come of it. One, God will judge the nations with it. Two, all will be bound to obey it in the new world. And three, the Law is spiritual and eternal.

 

[jeremiah1five]

He was born under the Law (Galatians 4:4).

I wasn't.



I didn't, just the command to obey the 7th day Sabbath.
The other 9 are repeated in the New Covenant.
I hope I don't have to keep repeating this truth.



Further proof that the Old Covenant is no longer binding.

When God sits on His throne in judgment, He will use the Law of Moses to judge all mankind.
Then, if you're going to live under His rule the Law of Moses you will be under command to obey it in the social order.
And, after God cleanses Gentiles from out of the Promised Land Gentiles will live in the surrounding area and will be commanded to make a yearly pilgrimage to Jerusalem to celebrate one of the three major Feasts in the Law of Moses: the Feast of Tabernacles.
Gee, I thought the Law was abolished?
Oh, that's right. That's man's interpretation, not God's.
Silly moi.

 

[jeremiah1five]

It's very telling how 9 of the 10 Commandments are repeated in the New Covenant, but the command to obey the 7th day Sabbath is not.

Since the New Covenant writings of Matthew to Revelation were written to Jews and Jewish Christians there would no need to remind them of the sabbath since they knew it was to be observed throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant command.
But when God sits on His throne the Law will be the authority in both Hebrew and Gentile societies.
And I wonder how long Gentiles will last since God will cleanse all Gentiles from the Promised Land and this means Gentiles will live in the land surrounding Israel. And if I read Revelation correctly Satan deceives these nations to attack Israel before fire from heaven consumes them all.
Hmmm. I wonder what that's about.
Never mind.
I know.

 

[Fred]

Since the New Covenant writings of Matthew to Revelation were written to Jews and Jewish Christians there would no need to remind them of the sabbath

False....again.


And yet they did remind them of the other 9.

Simple.

Not the true God of the Bible.

 

[jeremiah1five]

False....again.


And yet they did remind them of the other 9.

Simple.

Well, as Gentiles were never under the Law just continue the tradition.
And if you survive Armageddon know that when God sits upon His throne in Jerusalem and the Jews finally occupy their Promised Land and God Himself cleanses all Gentiles from Hebrew land that you'll be living outside the Promised Land and that all mankind - Jew and Gentile - will be living under the Law (of Moses/God), and must under command make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem yearly to celebrate one of the three major feasts in the Law of Moses - the Feast of Tabernacles.

Here is something else, as Saul would frequently say, "don't be ignorant of" and it is this:

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
Rev. 20:7–9.

Be advised. When the thousand years are expired Satan will be loosed out of his prison and go out to deceive these nations of Gentiles to deceive them and gather them on the outskirts of the Promised Land for one final onslaught against the people of God (Jews), a great number of Gentiles as the sand of the sea, and probably the moment a foot so much as touches the camp of the Lord's saints just like any one foot of even an animal that touched the Mount Sinai in Exodus died on the spot, fire from heaven comes down and devours them all so that who's left to inherit the earth?
Jews.
What started with a Hebrew (Abram) will end with the Hebrew and God's true Church and Bride, will live together forever happily ever after. Full circle. Now THAT'S something the Gentile church should take notice of.
