What version is this?
which version do you guys read from? I like it and am curious.
OHHH so is it that the law is still valid, but the covent, the binding that the law had over us, is now fulfilled and replaced with the new covenant that is Jesus’s grace and sacrifice? So we still follow the commands, but we trust in Jesus to save us, not our ability to follow the law and our own means of self righteousness based on our alignment to the law?
Wow this video was useless
Why have you changed heaven to skies. What translation are you using.
❤️ the whole Bible.

Thank you so much I've been very confused about this topic in the Bible.
Hope some one will address the existence of the Talmud and it's blasphemy against Jesus Christ
This is a wonderful explanation of these verses. However, I'm confused as to how verse 19 points to an upside-down kingdom. To me, it supports Jesus' holding the Torah and prophets to an even higher standard than the Pharisees, in step with 'writing the Law on the heart' in verse 20. If someone can explain how the upside-down kingdom concept is revealed in verse 19 that would be much appreciated.
So does this mean we have to follow all the rules about sacrifices, and purification and the sabbath?
God bless you so much guys
Jesus didn’t do away with the Torah, he made it more direct. He did away with Judaisms added pagan teachings.
The Law of God is eternal, the church kept the Torah until Christianity became the state religion and power center of Rome. The Law is Good Spiritual and Just.
Dot and squiggle refer to what we experience as particle duality. We experience particles but when the third wave is added you can thread a camel through the eye of a needle. Everything needs an offset.
Far as human beings we should all follow the law of Moses in that way we will won't go wrong..
Can someone explain the purpose of the background music? I want to concentrate on the words I am seeing and hearing and I don't understand adding another thing (background sound) to distract me. Thanks!
It means the laws, statues, and commandments are not done away with and we should be trying our best to keep them. All hasn't been fulfilled yet.
Thank you for this visual teaching!
Amen. Hallelujah ❤
The bible is clear concerning this matter. God's Law and Love are harmonious and do not contradict each other.
God is Love. [1 John 4:8] If we obey His commandments and don't have Love we have nothing [1 Corinthians 13]
God is Truth. [John 14:6] If we claim God's Love but don't follow God's commandments, we are liars and no Truth is in us. [1 John 2:4]
God says in both the old and new Testaments that the Covenant revolves around His Law and Love and that He will write the Law in our hearts and minds. [Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 10:16-17]
The Letter of the Law [Mind] and Spirit of the Law [Heart] are not two HALVES of a whole that complete each other. They are two WHOLES that make the other more so. [Matthew 5:17]
How long can the heart survive if the brain ceases to function? How long can the brain continue if the heart stops beating? If one tries to operate at the expense of the other, it results in the death of the body.
Since our bodies are temples of God [1 Corinthians 6:19-20] if we try to separate God's Love and God's Law it will result in eternal destruction of our spiritual and physical self by the One that has the power and ability to do so. [Matthew 10:28]
We understand that when Jesus says He came to fulfill the Law, He was speaking not as one who would outwardly obey an external code of rules, laws, and regulations.
No. That was obviously not what He meant.
Rather, we understand that when Jesus says He came to fulfill the Law that He was the One who embodied the fulfillment of the Law as part of His inner being.
Jesus did not follow an externally written code.
Jesus was the living embodiment of that code.
So, everything we read about Jesus doing was representative of the fulfillment of those codes because He was the One who embodied the Law.
Jesus was the only One who so fullfilled the Law in that way…
To the present time, men strive to follow the Law as if it were an external code to follow.
But, we as Christians strive not to follow the written code but rather we strive to be led by the Spirit of our Lord Jesus who we say lives in us.
Therefore, so long as the Spirit of Jesus remains in us we are free from the written code, that is the Law.
Otherwise, we are still under that Law. If we remain under the Law, that is being led by an external code, then we know that leads to death.
But, thanks be to Jesus for He has given us His Spirit, if that Spirit is in you.
So we are no longer under the external code but rather led by His Spirit.
Therefore, we know that we have passed from being dead to being alive even while we still live in this world…
The explanation is in Luke 24:44
LUKE 24:44 (KJV)
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Everything that is written about me (Jesus) must be fulfilled, in the Law of Moses and in that of the prophets and psalms. Psalms is not a book of laws, there are things in the book of Psalms that must be fulfilled through Christ.
PSALMS 22:16 (KJV)
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
These are the laws that Christ must fulfill and not the laws intended for sinners.
HEBREWS 10:7 (KJV)
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Wow you’re good
I LOVE this series
This is what I don’t understand, though. Jesus says that the Torah law will last forever, but then if you read the book of Acts, you’ll see that god takes many of the Torah laws away (circumcision, ban on pork, etc). Isn’t this a huge contradiction in the Bible?
I’ve heard it said that the city on the hill is actually a reference to Susita (which is an incredibly beautiful place to visit).
Jesus clocked the Law perfectly! No one is like the Law! He got it right so we don’t have to
The law stands as long as heaven and earth remain. Jesus said "if you love me, keep my commands". The law of Moses is the law of Christ. Keep the Sabbaths, dietary laws and festivals. You will be blessed if you do. The Holy Spirit teaches us to walk in his laws. This is the new covenant. Ezekiel 36:27.
So what do we as followers of Yeshua do now with Torah? Do we Practice or just read about it? Faith without works is dead…If you Love Me follow my Commandments…Sin is Lawlessness (Torah lessness)…Follow me as I follow Yeshua…Yeshua and all disciples followed Torah, Pre-nicene fathers followed Torah, so what do we do now? Follow the Word as it says you to do…
U guys have a read scripture app
