Revisiting Fruit!!

This one gets me all stirred up again...this time in a good way. This briefly explains what I believe about my faith in YHWH and why...so many folks were asking...so many more coming to false assumptions and not bothering to ask.

Foundation check! Wake up call!!


I, and I am sure you the reader don't want to be like the man who built his house on the sand that Yahshua speaks of in the gospels.

We are given a solid foundation to build upon. In fact 5 pillars! They are:

Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy


These five books are commonly known as the Torah. The rest of ALL scripture builds upon and expounds on these 5 books! IN FACT....IN FACT...the books of our New Covenant did NOT EVEN make the cut UNLESS they lined up with the TORAH! Don't believe me? Just pay attention to all those foot notes the next time you are studying in the New Covenant. TONS and TONS of references to the Torah and the Prophets of the Old Covenant.


Remember John 1? In the beginning was the Word? Yahshua is the Living Word, right? Right!

This means that Yahshua is the Living Torah!! See?


Beloved...the Word of YHWH is ONE book. Not two. And the foundation of the WHOLE book is the Torah.

I love all of YHWH's word and study ALL of it but I am paying special attention now to what the Torah states. This is how it was intended to be all along!

The early congregations of followers of Yahshua didn't have New Covenant books laying around. All they had were the letters of the New Covenant that were in circulation...some had a few here...others a few there...but no one had all of them.

One thing they did have was the Torah! And Yahshua Himself read the Torah faithfully every Sabbath! Remember when He opened the scrolls and read, "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me..." He was reading from the Torah.


We must all examine our foundation in this hour! It is crucial!

ALSO:


I want to leave the reader with this thought:

There are 17 different greek words for "Law" in the New Covenant! Sometimes Paul is talking about NATURAL laws (i.e. sin and death), sometimes he is speaking of CIVIL ROMAN law, sometimes PHARISAIC law, and then...AND THEN!! The Law of YHWH (commonly known as the Torah as referenced above). His Torah. Torah means instruction. IF we are led by the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) we are not under man's laws (i.e. Pharisaic, Papal, Seminary, Doctrines, etc) BUT we have the Law of Messiah!! His Torah...the Law of YHWH!!

Paul himself even said he was under the Law of Messiah which is YHWH's Torah...also known as Mosaic law!

I leave you with a verse to ponder:

Romans 9:20-24

He is the Potter. We are the clay. Let us let Him have His way in all things!


Ahava (love), Shalom (peace), and Simcha (joy) be multiplied to all who hear and recieve the Word of YHWH!

Psalm 119.
