this morning woke up in bed issue came to mind and that i am not strong enough to take it
then came to mind ...
that what did Yeshuah teach from.. there is no NEW testament no 1corinth no 2 thess no Galatians
5 books Matthew Mark Luke John Acts was the written testimony of eye witness of Yeshuah
YES Christ teaches all from what modern day church call "OLD testament"
did He teach NEW things to us ? did Christ create "NEW" and eliminates the OLD
can Christ contradicts what His Father in heaven teaches
NO Yeshuah is God with Father in Heaven
he teaches love God love neighbours, nothing is NEW they are all from the Torah
Yeshuah cannot and will not contradict with God because HE is ONE with God our Heavenly Father
new covenant is actually renewal of covenant ? WHY
simply because in the torah and prophets God call Israel and made covenant with Sons of Jacob
as chosen people and gave them promise land
IS IT exclusive only for JEWS ... the answer is no read Lev 17-25
strangers - sojourner are included they can offer sacrifice to God
Israel are supposed to accept them in. but not their idolatory way
what GOd desire was for all to come to Him through Israel but they fail
BUT THE covenant God made with Abraham and Jacob cannot be revoked
the old has not passed , Christ came not to abolish the law to fulfill it
Christ came to RENEW the covenant to Jews and gentiles(OT- strangers sojourners)
then i wash up and went to the kitchen ...the question pops to mind
THEN WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES A TRUE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST
....to do all that he has commanded...
search the E bible
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Mat 28:18-20)
ALL .... impossible right ?
Grace that is where grace of God comes in
grace is not for when we sin is when we fail to do what is right
so i type it down
what is it when we sin it is the MERCY of God that we do not perish
as i ponder now we always say immanuel God with us
indeed It is God's desire to dwell with man . GOD was with Adam was with Noah was with Moses
His presence was with Israel through as they travel through the wilderness
Thank you Lord as i restart my journey beginning with the careful of torah
God grant me wisdom grant me love for Your word in Yeshuah i ask
