some of the things coming to mind from the studies
the modern day Christians did not understand the "offering " in the Torah
there are 2 kind of sins - not greater sin and smaller sins
but intentional sin and unintentional sin
When Yeshuah taught Matthew 5 the first 16 verse is exalted but what follows in the chapter was dumb down….
vs 17 -20 was about the LAW Torah and it will not pass away and has not been fully fulfilled and the rest of the chapter relates directly to 10 commandments GOD's LAW
murder / adultery
Our saviour is teaching(Commanding) us about the matter of the heart (INTENTION)
anger that comes from the heart that leads to murder
with lustful intent that will leads to adultery
that is why YESHUAH is teaching it that the intent is EQUAL to Sin
the TORAH (Leviticus) clearly puts it that ONLY for UNINTENTION sin
there is a way out for your sin to be atone for
"Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the LORD's commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them, (Leviticus 4:2)
YES THIS IS THE TRUTH nothing new
THERE IS NO ATONEMENT for INTENTIONAL SIN
so Yeshuah is simply teaching you to cut the sin from its root
YOUR Intention YOUR Desire of YOUR HEART
SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
IF THERE IS ONLY ATONEMENT FOR UNINTENTIONAL SIN?
is our intentional sin atoned for in YESHUAH ???
let me ponder further Lord Yeshuah grant me wisdom and understanding
as i dwell in Your Words
