God sent forth his Son. He was born from a woman, born into a culture in which legalistic perversion of the Torah was the norm, so that he might redeem those in subjection to this legalism and thus enable us to be made God’s sons. Galatians 4:4-5
But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Galatians 4:4-5
Note the two verses, each is exactly the same verses from the bible, BUT one is from the original translation from Hebrew, the other watered down New Kings James version. This makes the point I have made many times over about how the bible has been changed, and how the message we hear today is not the truth, and by making the bible your word of God you are following a lie.
It is very different to say “perversion” of the law and just born under the law. Because the watered down version of NKJV makes the saved by grace doctrine sound OK, but if you listen to the original writing it is clear that Yeshua came not to stop the law, because after all he said clearly, I did not come to demolish the law but to uphold the law.
Looking at the verse from Galatians it supports this, he did not come to abolish it, but to make it clear the leaders were leading the people astray with false teachings of what they made the law to be, instead of what the truth was.
When you delete a small part of the verse, so it sounds like Yeshua came to get rid of the law and make it about grace, instead of coming to get rid of the legalistic perversion of the law, or how they changed it so it is not even the truth anymore. It changes everything.
God is the same today, as he was yesterday and will be tomorrow. The other part of this is how Yeshua sent the Holy Spirit who will write the law on your heart, not the perverted law, but the real law. And then because the seed of God is in you, you will be able to uphold this law.
The point the lord is showing me is that the law never stopped being important as the whore church system teaches today with its grace doctrine. But at the same time the law is not the object to follow and try to obey, because none of us can under our own strength. We must hear and obey the Lord, follow him. He said “my sheep hear my voice and follow me.” He is the one who will keep you in righteousness in regards to the law.
The legalistic teachers teach to obey the law or torah. The grace doctrine says you should not because then you are disqualified. Neither is true. We must uphold the law, but we can only do it when we have proper doctrine and not a lie or twisted perversion of the law. Nor could you uphold it even if you had the correct version of it, UNLESS you do this instead. Hear and obey Yeshua. He is the one who will help you uphold the law, not by trying but by being right with him, again hearing and obeying.
The fight between men and God has always been when the men changed things. In deuteronomy it says many times, do not change, add to or subtract from this. Yet the Jewish leaders and now modern day teachers do exactly the opposite. They change it over and over, and why we have 50 different translations of the bible and 1,000’s of “christian” religions which are supposed to be of the Lord, the son of God. Yet they do not even get his name right, because his real name is not Jesus and he does not have a last name of christ. Christ was given by the Greeks because all of their gods were called “christo.”
I sound like a broken record, but then this is how the Lord teaches. The same point over and over and over until it is driven into your head. The truth of God is not that deep. There is not that much to it, it is the same message over and over which all comes back to the same thing, hear him and obey him. If you do everything else will fall into place and for your good. You are made righteous in his sight not by obedience to the law, but obedience to his voice. And the obedience to his voice upholds the law.
Don’t be fooled into believing the “christian church” lie. If they do not even know the true name of the son of God and follow a NKJV or NIV version or whatever version of the bible as the “word of God” then they are not preaching or teaching truth. The only truth, which I never hear from a church system, ever. That truth is you need to hear and obey the Lord. He does speak to anyone and everyone who is willing to listen and learn from him and not follow his own truth.
One other thing the Lord is showing me very clearly and it is about human nature or a man of the flesh. The Lord keeps showing me how evil the man of the world is. How selfish we are and how much of a hypocrite we are. All of us, me also in my old days and still can be if I do not stop myself and obey the Lord over my own nature. We judge and expect more of others than we expect of ourselves, and we hate it when someone points out a shortcoming of ours, the log in our eye. Yet we are quick to point out the speak in the other peoples eyes.
The last 15 years of my life, since coming to really know Yeshua and his truth and way. I have seen this at deeper and deeper levels. First in myself as he showed it to me. And then after understanding and stopping this in myself and then him showing me the same in other people.
The hardest part of it is trying to get others to see this in themselves. And it is hard dealing with it when the Lord expects you to live in the higher realm, while everyone else around you lives in the old life of being hypocritical and selfish, and attaches you for it. The funny thing is they see you as the selfish one when you follow Yeshua because when the choice comes and you have to decide to obey Yeshua or the other persons, and you choose Yeshua, then you are selfish. But are you or are they? If they really expect you to do it their way instead of God’s, then who is the selfish one? And if they do the things they point out as evil in the other people, then does that not make them a hypocrite?
I see these behaviors in people over and over. Expecting us to obey them at a lower level of living than what Yeshua expects. Because no one can give wise instruction to live at that level except God. And if you do not obey them and instead obey Yeshua, you are selfish.
Yeshua also said however you judge you will be judged, which is another way of saying you are a hypocrite. Because the things we see in others as being wrong, we are practicing the same things.
However, when you follow Yeshua then this changes slightly, but for the better. Because when following Yeshua you start doing things at a higher level, and you are to call people to this higher level, and want to. Because you see how good life is at this higher level and want everyone to experience it. The problem is very few want to follow and make the changes. Some say they want change, but when it comes time to do the work to make the change happen, they do not do it.
That might be in how they eat, exercise or lack of, staying away from an addiction like alcohol or drugs or shopping or gambeling… Many want the change but do not want to do the work to obtain the change.
Others simply do not see the evil in their ways and think they are good the way they are. And in the eyes of many people they are good, which reinforces their viewpoint of themselves.
But when the truth speaks to you and you listen, then you start to see yourself for who you are and it is shameful and dark. All of us, including you! That is until you listen to this truth and then do what the Lord shows you to do so you are not in that evil darkness anymore, but instead now walking in the light and righteousness.
No man can boast he is good from the first birth, a man can only be good in the eyes of God from the second or rebirth into the Spirit. “Unless one is born again…”
