Deuteronomy 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

​

Before you review the information that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Paul is not teaching against the law. Stop and read the Deuteronomy and Romans again. He said to a thousand generations.

Acts 24:14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,

 

Anytime we see, Paul speak against the law, you can put in one of two categories.

He is either talking about the traditions and doctrines of men, man's law the oral law or the Greek law, this is what they did to put man under bondage.

Or he is speaking about the punishment when you break the law, bondage comes upon you that is the result of sin; the law of sin and death, which Yeshua nailed to the cross.

​

Most of us never knew there are 7 Laws but here there are; Paul is talking about in his writings. The Law of God Romans 3:31 1 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid yea, we establish the law.

The Law of the Spirit Romans 8:2 Through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death

The Law of Faith Romans 3:27 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid yea, we establish the law.

The Law of Righteousness Romans 9:31 The people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal

1 Corinthians 3:3 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.

​

1 John 3:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.

Psalm 19: 7 The law (Torah) of the Yehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple

Psalms 19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

1 Timothy 1:8 Now we know that the Law is good, if one uses it legitimately

Exodus 20:2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Acts 17:10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. (the only scriptures they had were the Old Testament)

​

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them. “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith. “Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them. “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written,

 

“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Romans 8:2 because through Christ Yeshua the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death

Acts 24:14 "But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets. Acts 25:8 - while he answered for himself, "Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all."

 

Acts 18:21 - but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, Yehovah willing." And he sailed from Ephesus.

Romans 7:16 And if I do what I do not desire, I admit that the Law is good.

 

Romans 7:25 - I thank Yehovah--through Yeshua the Messiah our Master! So then, with the mind I myself serve the Law of Yehovah, but with the flesh the Law of sin.

 

Matthew 23:1 Then Yeshua spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: 2“The scribes and Pharisees

sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach

 

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to one another, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; …

 

As you read in the verses Paul makes it clear also, if you are led by the spirit you are not under the law, (Keeping this in mind sin is transgression of the law.)

So, if you are not keeping Yehovah laws and statutes you are under the law, because there is no law against keeping His laws, however breaking them is another story. If you are truly led by the spirit you want to please and obey your heavenly father.

 

Psalm 119:1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Yehovah

Ezekiel 36:26-27 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Galatians 3:2: For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Yeshua 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.…

 

Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles (Christians) in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Yeshua you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.… (You are a Citizen of Israel, required to keep all Yehovah instructions and laws. You are a spiritual Jew.

 

Romans 11:23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

Here is a comparison between the Pharisees and the modern Church:

According to the Pharisees:

The Oral Law was the “truth filter” that was applied to all Scripture, and it is still used by Rabbinic Judaism to this day. The only true interpretation of all Scripture could be attained through this filter.

This filter ignored contradictory Scripture.

If a Scripture didn’t fit, they concocted some method of scriptural interpretation in order to make it fit or explain it away.

The seven rules of Hillel, the thirteen rules of Ishmael, the thirty-two rules of Eliezer Through skillful twisting, the Scripture could be made to say whatever they wanted.

Anyone who disagreed was called a heathen, blasphemer or heretic

According to the modern Church: The “no-law” doctrine is the “truth filter” that is applied to all of Scripture. The only true interpretation of all Scripture can be attained through this filter.

Traditions of the church and church fathers became more important than Scripture.

Even traditions with clearly dubious origins can be overlooked by saying, “That’s not what it means

to me,” or, “It’s a mystery.”” “it's the intent of the heart that counts” (Christmas and Easter Through skillful twisting, the Scripture can be made to say whatever is required.

CONCLUSIONS The “no-law” doctrine has taken Paul’s “hard to understand writings” and interpreted them to mean that the laws of God given through Moses are no more, and in so doing, have elevated Paul’s teachings above the teaching of Yeshua and the very words of God. The filter that should be used is that God does not change, He is not a God of confusion, He doesn't lie, or that scripture cannot be broken, and it is the whole duty of man to keep all His commandments.

 

Yeshua is the Messiah, not Paul! Salvation comes through Yeshua, not Paul!

We are to follow the Gospel of Christ, not the Gospel of Paul! This isn’t easy! Paul’s writings are HARD to understand; the apostle Peter said so! We must realize that the writings of Paul are not exempt from these scriptural truths. We cannot ignore or twist his difficult writings to make them support beloved and long-held doctrines. “I have not been able to reconcile “the law is not to be followed by modern believers with Scripture.

 

 The only conclusion I have been able to come to, without going against Scripture, is that the law is still in effect for modern believers, not as a condition of salvation, but as a reflection of how the Father wants us to be a holy and set-apart people, and out of love and obedience to him. “119 Ministries www.TestEverything.net Keeping in mind what

 

Peter said about Paul's letters 2 Peter 3: 16 He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard not to be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.1 John 3:9 (sin is lawlessness. God calls it evil)

 

Acts 24 Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the Law.

 

Matthew 5:19 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.

Hosea 4;6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,

I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Truth or lies

Whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life. John 3:36

When you answer these questions keep in mind you are judging God's character.

1. Does God's word contradict itself?

2. Does God's word stand forever?

3. Does God do anything without revealing it through His prophets first?

4. Does God lie?

5. Does God change His mind?

6. Does God always keep His promises?

God's word

• 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

• Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. ● John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken:

• 1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

• Amos 3: Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth His secret unto his servants the prophets.

• Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act?

 

Are you going to continue to follow the church that says scripture is changed or done away with, or will you follow God who says scripture cannot be broken?

 

Scripture says in Mark 7:19

• “For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body." Church doctrine added the following to scripture “In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.”

Ponder this: If Jesus said this, he couldn’t be our Savior. He would be sinning, breaking God’s command regarding dietary instructions. Be on your guard, if you encounter any verse that conflicts with all other scripture. According to the modern Church: (119 Ministries)

• Ezekiel 22:26 "Her priests (your pastors) have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; Isaiah 66:17 & Isaiah 65 and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 "Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain.…

By doing this they are calling Yehovah, Yeshua and Paul liars.
