Shane Vaughn Teaches Part 4 Layers of the Law

* I'd like for you to imagine this conversation between you and your child you're riding with your child and you've just taught them how to drive and uh they break the speed limit speed limit's 55 you look down at the speedometer and your child is going 65 we've all done it we've all been there it's easy to do but you look to the child and you say to that child son you have broke the speed limit but don't worry about it just keep breaking the speed limit what kind of instructions would that be it'd be foolish yet that's the same instruction * that we all receive in the so-called Christian church every Sunday here's how it goes have you ever broken the law of God your answer must be yes and then the moment you tell someone that you've decided that the law of God was not abrogated it was not done away with and that you believe that you should continue to walk in the law of God the first thing they say to you is this are you telling me that you've never broke the law of God your answer is what well yes I have broke the law well brother if you broke one you broke them all so just like that * parent telling the child just to keep on speeding that well-meaning Minister turns to you and says since you broke one you broke them all no need of trying to keep none what kind of advice is that it's foolish and yet it's the standard Theology of the Christian Church hello I'm Shane vaugh with first Harvest Ministries and this is part five of a series that we began a few months ago dealing with the law of God it never fails it never fails if you mention the law to any spirit filled Christian believer it's almost as if you've said a * curse word to them I've watched them draw back and the words that I'm told many times is you're drawing people back to the law to the bondage of the law I have spent the last five series or four segments of this series trying to reveal to the the law of God to you in a Biblical and balanced manner if you've not seen the first four parts called the layers of the law I really invite you to look below this video if you're watching on YouTube and you're going to see the link to the previous four lessons you need those you need to start with * those so that you can follow along with us and and get a better understanding about the law of God there is a habit in the church to divide the law of God into different segments moral law ceremonial law and civil law and we seem to believe that the moral part of the law carried over into the New Testament but all the other laws specifically the Torah was done away with or we we like to call it the law of Moses we like to divide the Ten Commandments from the law of Moses why it helps us it helps us to categorize * things and we love to categorize but in today's lesson we're going to dive right back back in grab your bibles if you're not going to read these things in your Bible you are spending these studies in vain you ought to turn me off and go do something else because you've already been misled this long in your walk with God why don't you stop that Journey today and decide that you're going to get a balanced understanding of the word of God especially concerning the law of God get your Bibles I'm coming right back to dive in to the layers of the law * part [Music] five [Music] without fail whenever we tell folks that we believe in the law of God the next question that comes is which laws apply to the Christian believer today and the next question that comes is will this affect my salvation will I be lost or will I be saved if I do or don't keep the law of God so here's my answer to those questions are you * ready every single law that God has ever given Yahweh that he's ever given to his people every single one of them are required of us today now hold on I know you're ready to jump ship and you think I've lost it but if you're stay with me I challenge you to actually I challenge you don't go nowhere hang tight and what I just said is going to make perfect sense to you by the time I'm done the next one is does it pertain to our Salvation my answer to that question is this salvation is based upon the shed blood of Yeshua the * Messiah I want to demonstrate the point to you like this I told you earlier that yes I have broken the law of God in my life and yes I probably do it on a daily basis I admit to that you don't have me by saying I've broke the law of God therefore I'm guilty of them all I'm not going to fall in that trap for you but I will give you the answer that yes I break the law of God so therefore I need a a savior I need a savior that will pay the penalty that the law demanded for breaking the law in some cases that was * death now I needed a savior that would come and sign with his blood a New Covenant a covenant that would give forgiveness to the house of Israel which I can claim as long as I'm a keeper of that Covenant so my salvation is not based upon works for example the Bible tells us plainly that no flesh is justified by The Works of the law people love to tell me all the time see the works of the law which brother V believes in the law so the works of the law does not justify us only the blood of Christ I would like to give you a story * and see if it might help you make sense if you were on death row today in uh Angola State Prison here in Louisiana that's our big prison and you were on death row and you had a sentence to die because death was the penalty for your sin for breaking the law it demanded death and a day or two before your death s it you're sitting there sweating it out and uh praying for a miracle but you know there's no Miracle to come the day of your execution the warden comes to your cell with a piece of paper in his hand and * says I got something for you you take the paper and you read it and it says full pardon free and clear go you're free all of a sudden you were worthy of death but now you've received a pardon full and free you did nothing to deserve it it's the unmar favor of the governor in that situation gave you a full Parton now you are packing your bags in your little cell packing your all the little things you've collected during these years and you hear the gates open Sliding the bars open there's no sound like it and here you go walking out back into * society free full and free as if you had never done it Justified as if you had never done it now here is where the rubber meets the road when the governor gave you a pardon did he say you are free to return to the life of crime that you once lived or did it say in the words of yua go and break the Commandments no more or sin no more that's what sin means the breaking of The Commandments the transgression of the law so this gentleman walks out of his prison cell and he's free he has received the unmar favor the grace of * Yahweh through the shed blood of his son yua the debt has been paid you are free to go and sin no more now we'll return to the the illustration that I started this lesson about your child breaking the speed limit you remember I said how foolish it is to tell the child oops you broke the speed limit keep right on speeding and yet that is the message that the church teaches preaches and believes that since you've broken the law since you cannot keep the law then you are free from the dictates of it you are free to live life * without the law of God or the penalties thereof ladies and gentlemen that is another gospel that is a false gospel because the truth is while you were incarcerated on death row you gained a love and a respect for the law that you did not have before and you decided in your mind that hey wait a minute it was breaking the law that put me under the law or put me in bondage handcuffs as long as I was keeping the law I was free yet the modern church will tell you that if you keep the law of God as I teach and others that you're * under bondage and it seems like Paul said those words but he didn't we'll explain why in a moment he was talking about another law not the law of God he was talking about an added law by the Jews and the Pharisees and the Sadducees that actually was the enemy of the law of God so you were set free from sin beloved not to put the Son of God to an open shame over and over again by continuing to live under that old flesh man Adam as a matter of fact let's turn in our Bibles and see what your responsibility to Salvation truly is * Hebrews 6 and four for it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted the Heavenly gift and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come if they shall fall away to renew them again unto repentance seeing that they crucify by the themselves the Son of God every single time that they do it and they put Christ or the shed blood of Christ or their salvation to an open shame they make a mockery of the very reason that the blood was shed for them hear me well the * blood of yua was not shed to set you free from the law but rather the blood of Y Yeshua was shed to set you free from the bondage of continuously breaking the law and reaping the results thereof the Bible said that the blood of Christ was shed to make you free and to cause you to rise above sin it's not come to set you free from the fact that there is sin but rather to give you a power beyond your own self that would cause you to rise above that sin today I want to help you understand the law of God turn with me in your * Bibles let's go to Psalms chap 117 verse 97 and verse 98 now David was a man after yahweh's own heart for a reason because of all the Bible characters David loved the law of God above all else he said thy law have i hidden in my heart because I don't want to sin against you yes I did sin against you Lord with Beth Sheba and yes I did commit murder but father I understand that just because I broke the law is no reason to continue to do so so he said I want to be like you and I Want To Know Your Law let's read what he says in * verse 97 oh how I love thy law it is my meditation all day long it's all I think about you through your Commandments have made me wiser than mine enemies see David says in this verse that the way that he got to know Yahweh his heavenly father was through the Commandments of his father and sad s l many of you have been robbed of knowing your heavenly father because the New Testament Church the modern church has convinced you of that all things are about Jesus alone and he's nothing like the god of the Old Testament your heavenly father * we've been robbed of a relationship with our father because we've been robbed from reading the Torah reading the Commandments of God and applying them to our lives the mind of your father is revealed to you through the words of his law David said I love thy law because I think about it day and night so I want to ask you that are watching around the world and thank you for watching why don't you hit that share button that really helps us out so much you could do that all it takes is you just willing to help push that little Buton button get * the word out for us he said it's all I thought about day and night so now I want to ask you how often do you think about the law of God see we grew up being taught the law was done away with it was replaced by Christ and yet Jesus tells us we're going to read that in just a moment that he did not come to do away with the law whatsoever so are you like David do you think about the law of God day and night or do you look at it and say oh there's no way I can live that and just throw it down you make a grave mistake when you * do so now there are two sides to the law of God there's extremism in anything in life so those of us that believe in the law of God trust me we have to deal with two groups of people we have to deal with those preachers that despise the mention of the word law but on the other hand over here we have to deal with the legalist those that say we obey the law of God yet they're clueless as to the true meaning of the law of God see for the legalist you never have to think about the law you just obey it whatever is written * down you obey it there's nothing to think about there's nothing to meditate on just obey the law whether you understand standard or not whether you in uh incorporate it into your mind or not just obey it and those are dangerous people because they use the law as a weapon rather than the way to God the way to understanding the mind of God for them if you break the law you're punished that's the end of the line and if you're not overtly breaking the law then you go free that's the way they are they are called the legalist let's read * what Yeshua said shall we Matthew 23 and: 23 woe to you scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites for you pay tithe of your mint and your anise and your cumin and you have neglected the weightier matters of the law such as what just Justice mercy and Faith now Yeshua is going to balance it out now he's not condemning the tithe he actually endorses paying the tithe because he said these things you should have done why they're written in the law you should have done them and you did well when you did them but you're a legalist you don't think about these * laws you don't think about the time High than how it connects you to God you don't think about it all you do is write your check out for 10% and then bless God you don't you know you just it's all matter of law but he said you're a hypocrite because you have left the wer matters of the law undone and believe it or not it's surprising to see that mercy and faith and Justice is weightier matters of the law than rather just the letter of the law itself now it's easy to find the tithe in God's law it's a principle it it will * never die I don't care what your preacher tells you care what these new fangled Believers teach you that the lot tithe was only that no the tithe has an eternal principle the first fruit that connects you in Covenant with God now he said you you you should have done that that's a good thing do but he said faith and mercy you failed to see that in the law he said that uh mercy and faith is far from you while you're obeying the letter of the law now this man this legalist this Pharisee is hellbent to obey the law of * god let's read what yua said in Matthew 23 24-25 you blind teachers you strain out a knat but you swallow a camel woe to you teachers of the law and you Pharisees now pause I taught a lesson that you need to hear what law y yua is talking about here and I'll link to that teaching below this video until you understand the difference in the law of God and the law of the Pharisees or the law of the Jews or the religion of the Jews you're going to always be confused because here it says woe you teachers of the law it * sounds like Jesus himself is against the law of God woe to you teachers of the law but he is talking about a law that was in contradiction to the law of God referred to as the Torah but it was not the Torah it was an added law called the mishna and the talmud now he goes on to say you are a bunch of Hypocrites you clean the outside of the cup and the dish but inside you're full of greed and self-indulgence I know a lot of people like that I know a lot of Christians they look a certain way they've got a certain look but trust me they're full * of it bottom line he said you work so hard to get the technicalities of the law down path you never look below the surface he tells them in these verses below the surface of the law at the deeper undercurrent at the deeper meaning that God is trying to get through to his people because you're you're straining at the Gat what is the Gat the letter you're straining at that letter saying okay Sabbath begins exactly at sunset uh we can't start it one second before or one second after you you're you're trying to get all of these things * you're you're straining at this he said but you've missed the camel you you you're straining at the N but you're swallowing the meaning the meaning is getting past you you're swallowing the camel the bigger weightier matters of the law he says here there's a law of love in the father's Commandments that you don't see there's a law of Mercy that you don't see there's a law of Faith that's contained within the law but you have to think about the law to see all of the weightier matters of the law it may be surprising to some of you * watching me now that yua nor the apostles never made a distinction between the Ten Commandments and the law of Moses or the Torah now I've been part of a group of people that do that and I did that myself because I didn't understand Torah Torah scared me Torah I knew that we could not live Torah in this day and age certain uh acquiesces of it certain minutia of it I knew we couldn't go to Jerusalem and so how can we be honest and still say we believe in Torah and so we would separate the Ten Commandments we kept the Big 10 and we * discarded the 613 part of the Torah but do you know Yeshua or the apostles never did this and I'll tell you what else they never did they never they never separated between the law of a sacrif ice the sacrificial law or the ceremonial law or the moral law these are all nuances that we created categories rubrics that we in our carnal Minds have created to help us navigate through this scary subject of the law well that's moral that's ceremonial that's sacrificial this was done away with that wasn't you get into a lot of * trouble if you stay on that path very long because you're going to come to the point on this journey where you hadm this to yourself yahweh's never given a bad law and if he gave a law there was a reason for it we're not going to discard the law or get rid of the law we're going to think about it we're going to understand what it means and how it still lived in the 21st century I want to give you an example of some of the customs of the Pharisees that yua hated you remember we read a moment ago about the tithe and how the * Pharisees they would die before they didn't pay their tithe the tithe came out first they were they they they had it down pat but yet they would not help their fellow man they would not give to someone in need and this made them Hypocrites because they had failed to understand that the purpose of the tithe the purpose of that was to teach them to be givers to freely give they missed it and here we read in verse 25 of Matthew 23 he says plainly you you may clean the outside of the cup but within you're full of * greed greed is a human nature trait that we all need to get rid of and the tithe was intended to take that greed out of us and be willing to give to give to make us givers first but many people are so strained on that 10% that that's where they're giving stops and they say well I kept the law I paid my tithe but did you help the hurricane victims last week in your town did you bring food did you do anything to be a giver remember the way of Satan is the way of get the way of Yahweh is the way of give two different actions when you * see the these kind of people you see Satan's Children when you see these kind of people you have found the children of God now they kept the letter of the law but they shadowed the underlying intent let's read verse 27 of Matthew 23 woe to you teachers of the law and Pharisees you Hypocrites he liked that word didn't he you're like Graves repliers which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside you're full of dead men's bones and everything unclean now I want to say this when looking at the law of God many of you * watching me if you're Bible students you have no problem agreeing that most of Bible prophecy is symbolic we know that we understand that but I'm here to tell you today that much of the law of God is also symbolic when you understand that when you begin to comprehend that all of a sudden you begin to see why the law of God is so misunderstood it would be like prophecy it would be so misunderstood if we applied everything literally it has meaning the law of God has meaning that reaches beyond the mere words and that's what I've been driving * at in these lessons what is the meaning behind the words when I ask earlier what laws are we supposed to keep and I told you every one of them that sounds like an insurmountable and elephantine task doesn't it but the key lies in understanding that much of God's law is symbolic sometimes the law the letter of it cannot be applied for one reason or another but that does not mean it has been done away with Paul's example of not musling out the ox that treadeth out the corn it's an illustration it's symbolism when you come to the New * Testament and the Apostle Paul is defending a Minister's right to receive money from the congregation he points back to the Torah and he pulls out of the Torah one of these laws that Jesus supposedly nailed to the cross and he points to the Torah and he says Moses wrote this for our sake the Gentiles sake he was talking to Gentiles he said the Torah was written for the Gentiles for our sake that we might understand and then he goes on to use the symbolism of the law to bring from underneath that symbol the greater * meaning called the principle and these are called axioms and aphorisms if I say to you don't kill the Goose that lays the golden egg everyone will know what I'm talking about it's a figure of speech it's a metaphor however a legalist would say well that don't apply to me I don't have a goose and it doesn't lay gold in eggs so therefore that's out of date for me no it's not because behind that symbol is a principle that's Eternal don't shut doors of opportunity that come your way that's the meaning of it now for some reason when we teach on * the law Christians are prone to ask me do I have to do this in order to be a Christian or do I have to do this to make it into heaven but I think a far better question for you to start asking is not is it binding or is it gives me salvation but rather what does this law that a good God gave mean in my life forget salvation so many of you are so focused on something that's salvation is by the blood of Yeshua okay we're talking about doing something besides being saved we're talking about moving on past baptism and * moving on into Perfection walking and Perfection Glory now when you ask the question what what does this law mean and what is the intent of it how does it instruct me in living my life my Sanctified life remember the father that's teaching the son to drive and the son speeds the father says to that son you broke the law it's okay son don't do that again go back down to the speed limit and drive the speed limit this is what God says you broke my law it's forgiven through the blood of yua now don't do it again don't let your life become a * lawless life and sadly if you don't read the Old Testament you don't even know what the law of God is to live by let me show you how yua felt about the law Matthew 5:1 17-18 do not think for one second that I come to get rid of the Torah or the prophets I have not come to abolish them but I have come to magnify them I tell you the truth until Heaven and Earth disappears not the smallest letter nor the least stroke of a pen will by any means disappear from the Torah until everything is accomplished which is his uh father's * Kingdom now yua says the opposite of what the modern Church says I did not come to replace the law how much pler can it be is Heaven and Earth still here do you still see a heaven do you still see a moon and a sun are they still here then the law of God is still here whenever you think that any part of the law of God has been done away with you've set yourself up for a very slippery slope so I think it's best for us to acknowledge that the law of God the Torah The Ten Commandments none of it has ever been done away * with now when you acknowledge that now you can approach the law when you see things and you can say I don't want to miss the point from my life of what he heavly father was trying to teach me through the instrument of this particular law these words this this syntax this structure of words when he gave that syntax to Moses contained within it was life lessons that he wants his sanctified people to live by now when yua said that he came to exalt the law now your Bible might say fulf F but the meaning there is exalt when he come * to exalt it let me show you how he did that he told the Pharisees let's go to um chapter uh chapter Matthew Chapter 5 and let's go to verse 19 and verse 20 whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of The Commandments and shall teach men to do so shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them the same Shall be Called great in the Kingdom of Heaven for I say unto you that except your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees you shall in no wise enter the * Kingdom of Heaven what do they mean by that well the Pharisees would not dare have killed anyone why the Commandment said Thou shalt not kill but Jesus said not so quick guys y'all missed the point you missed the point you strained at the net the letter of the law that's the knat the letter of the law is the knat you strained at it while totally swallowing the camel or in another words missing the bigger point he said not so fast guys when I said thou shall not kill and you went around destroying people's character you missed the * point whenever I said thou shall not kill and you called your brother a fool you missed the point go to verse 21 you have heard that it was said to the people do not murder and anyone who murders will be subject to the Judgment he said says a man might say I've never killed a man I couldn't do that does that mean that the Commandment Thou shalt not kill has been done away with now if you're going to do away with the law you've got to do away with all of it and I want to say this to you look around America I'm recording this * teaching in the year 2020 the United States of America is an absolute chaos with rioter in our streets our cities being burned to the ground by Rous demons operating through men but do you know where that comes from it's a spirit of lawlessness that started behind the pull pit some 30 to 40 years ago we begin teaching a greasy Grace Gospel that required no Commandments no law We Begin preaching that there is no more law eventually That Trick into our government our schools our children and our society at large why because the reason the * Commandment thou shall not kill is there is to keep us all from killing one another but it goes beyond that it goes to the intent of not to call your brother a fool which when Jesus said those words though were those words were very violent epitet let's read verse 22 but I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother what does murder start with anger anyone that's anger with his brother is going to be subject at the Judgment again anyone who says to his brother raka which in our terminology today would be the same as the f word * horrible violent epit and you're going to be answerable at the Judgment but anyone who says you fool will be in danger of the fire of hell why because yua knew that murder doesn't begin with murder it begins at a root in the mind of a man that Root's called anger so what he's saying there is you guys won't kill nobody but by the time you get through running them down and talking about them and destroying them behind the closed doors and ruining their reputation being angry and calling them every name in the book go ahead and * kill them it's the same thing don't strain at the net and swallow the camel you shall not murder is an elaboration of a principle or the spirit of the law as you begin to study the law you will see how you have broken it on so many levels and I understand how quick and easy it is for us to accept the teaching that we just can't keep the law of God brothers and sisters I agree you cannot do it but there was a boy born in Bethlehem of Judea son of Mary and Joseph this young boy grew up with brothers and sisters in a small * town where everybody knew him and and this young boy kept his father's Commandments he learned obedience he learned how to obey then he went to the cross and he paid for the sin debt he went to his father and returned to live inside of you he comes in at the moment of water baptism at the moment of obedience the Bible said the Holy Spirit which is Christ the mind of Christ is given to us when we obey water baptism is obedience when he moves in there is a lawkeeper h him that moves inside your mind and I agree that you * cannot keep the law of God so therefore you need a law keeper living inside of you his name is yua he does not come in to erase the law from your mind but rather to write it in your mind to be inside of of your very thinking to where you can keep the law of God when you can't do it he can this is why we Must Die daily so that the lawkeeper moves in and gives us power over sin which is the transgression of the law of God there there's a powerful Prophecy in the book of Isaiah I going to read it to you Isaiah 42 and verse * 21 it's talking about yesu and it says that he will come to magnify the law and to make it honorable now this is prophesied of Christ that he's going to honor the law and make it glorious and yet the church teaches that he came to replace it do you not see the craziness of that message you cannot have Christ to replace what he came to magnify the truth of the matter is this beloved the Commandments of God reach so much deeper into us than we imagined before and it's there to reveal our need for a savior if you've not accepted that * savior today I invite you to it's so very simple you must make up your mind that you're going to stop breaking his Commandments and you're going to surrender your life to him and then you invite him into your life through the water of baptism and you come up a new creature in Christ Jesus old things are passed away all the sins are gone everything that you couldn't do before you can do now you know the saddest message of the Christian church is this you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you and then they * follow it up in the next sermon now nobody can keep the law of God well I thought I could do all things through Christ you can beloved when Christ moves in Rebellion begins moving out remember that let's take a look at some of the Old Testament laws that doesn't seem to apply to our life the Torah and let's see if we can make them apply let's turn uh to Deuteronomy 22 and 1 through3 it says now this is a Torah commandment according to the New Testament Church this commandment was done away with it does not apply to the * believer of the Christian church anymore let's see if that's true Deuteronomy 22 1-3 if you see your brother's ox or sheep dying or straying rather do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to to your neighbor if the brother does not live near you or if you do not know who he is take it home with you and keep it until he comes looking for it then give it back to him do the same if you find your brother's donkey or his cloak or anything that he loses do not ignore it the Christian Church tells me and you that that commandment is not for us * today it was nailed to the cross well what does a donkey and a sheep on the side of the road lost have to do with my salvation no beloved it has to do with your sanctification and here's what it has to do with it the the content of your character is revealed in The Obedience of his commandments so he says here if you see your brother's sheep or Ox return it to your brother or your sister immediately if you can't find them take the little lamb home with you and care for it so are you telling me now that the Christian shouldn't apply * this principle in our life today that we shouldn't return things that we find if we walk by the road and find somebody's wallet we shouldn't try to return it to them oh hogwash that's not been done away with that's part of a Sanctified life that's part of loving your brother as much as you love yourself you see when Jesus gave us the two Commandments in the New Testament love God and love love your neighbor we love to use that as our copout oh there's only two Commandments now beloved this is one of the descriptions of how to love your * neighbor in the Torah it tells you return the animal if you can't find the owner don't abuse the little animal bring him home and love it and care for it you see a good God gave that commandment because what did we start these lessons off with a good God never gave a bad law so therefore to get rid of them is to get rid of the goodness of God it's crazy the Torah still applies to our life today if not in letter especially in intent let's look at another law let's see if this law has been done away with let's go over to um * Deuteronomy 22 and4 Deuteronomy 22 and4 one of the six 113 commands from the Torah that's been done away with it says you shall not see your brother's ass or his Ox fall down by the way and hide yourself from them Thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again back then an ass or an ox was the equivalent to our vehicles today to what they rode it's what they use to get work done so this law says if you see an ox or an ass falling in the ditch don't hide yourself from helping so the legalist would say well I haven't seen an ox or an ass today * anywhere so I've kept the law of God well let me ask you this did you see your neighbor putting a tarp on his roof and you hid yourself so you wouldn't have to help help you broke the law of God see Jesus come to magnify that law to exemplify it to bring it to fruition by helping our brother loving our brother so is this commandment done away with if it is then the Commandment of not hiding from work is done away with you do a dangerous thing beloved Brothers preachers when you get rid of the law of God now I want to give you * another example of a bunch of lawkeepers that strained at the knet and swallowed the camel Pharisees walking by the road one day and he sees a man that's been left for dead what does this Pharisee do you know it as the as the story of the Samaritan Pharisee goes around the poor man and keeps walking right now he technically obeyed the law why because that wasn't an ox in the ditch that was a fellow human being and there really was no commandment about helping a fallen human up out of the ditch so he obeyed the law he's a * lawkeeper going to heaven but here came a Samaritan what did he do total opposite reached down helped his brother poured in the oil and the wine brought him to a hotel and paid for a week for that man to get better I want you to know something about that Samaritan that you may not have known before did you know that the Samaritans had the Torah they had the Ten Commandments and the law of Moses and they lived by it that's right it's called The Samaritan pent talk you can Google it find it the Samaritans though despised people had * the law of God but it was the Samaritans that grabbed the intent of the law more so than the Pharisees who base their faith upon the law interesting is it not now I want to point you to another law from the Tanakh the Torah that supposedly Christ nailed to the cross now this one's going to get interesting Deuteronomy 22 and5 now I have some personal experience with this verse of scripture and let's just read the scripture before I go into it it says the woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man neither shall a man * put on a woman's garment for all that do so are an Abomination unto Yahweh your Elohim now I grew up in a church very fundamental and it was a sin for a woman to wear pants definitely a sin for a man to wear a dress so forth and so on now those people preach that the Sabbath day was done away with the law of Moses was done away with all of that that was replaced by Christ and by the Holy Ghost and yet if you ask them for one verse of scripture as to why their women couldn't wear pants guess where they would go * running back to this verse that I just read to you in Deuteronomy from what from the law from the Torah the Torah that Christ replaced so that's why I said this is going to get interesting because I have personal experience with this verse so if you're going to do away with Torah we're about to do away with the only scripture we have to be honest with you to preach against transsexuals now everybody is up in arms lately all the preachers and everybody's preaching against these abominable transvestites and transsexuals and and * uh and they're right it's an abomination in the eyes of Yahweh but I have to ask you a question where can they point to anywhere except the Torah this verse to prove that you see when you get rid of Torah you get rid of the law of God so this verse here is not talking about skirts or slacks it's talking about an underlying principle of gender identity not mixing the genders now the very people that say that this means a woman can't wear a pair of slacks and a man cannot wear a kilt if he lives in Scotland here's what's funny about that * their wives wear their husband's socks they wear their husband's T-shirts they wear their husband's uh uh uh robes so forth and so on which pertains to a man see you cannot tell me you're a lawkeeper if you miss the point the point of this verse is simply this keep the Sexes separate and every society and every culture determines what separates the Sexes for example in the days of Paul it was a head covering on a woman in their culture there was like a woman today wearing a purse well men should not wear purses according to * this verse why that pertains to a in today's society and in our culture today however when it comes to a pair of slacks or workout clothes or what have you I promise you the slacks of a woman are very identifiable compared to the pants of a man as a matter of fact if I was to wear a pair of my wife's slacks or gym clothes or anything of that nature trust me it would be very noticeable that's the point keep the Sexes separate and culture and Society will do that for you you cannot allow transsexualism or the crossing of the * Sexes that's what the intent of this verse is it's not to create a law about skirts because if you go to Scotland men wear skirts are they going to hell of course not in their society that is perfectly except able and identifiable as a masculine skirt it's used in a masculine way completely different from a woman's Kilt so don't strain at the net and miss the point real quickly let's look at another law from the Torah that's been done away with supposedly Deuteronomy 22 6-7 it says if you come across a bird's * nest beside the road either in a tree or on the ground and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs do not take the mother with the young you may take the young but be sure to let the mother go so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life wow what a strange commandment from our heavenly father it seems that way on the surface no beloved no beloved there was a purpose in that commandment there was a purpose in that law don't eradicate the species if you kill the mother and the children * you you're wiping out the species this is an ecology lesson that Yahweh gave Israel of how to preserve the species don't kill the mother and the child the children and the mother somebody's got to keep the species going so this was a a great environmental lesson given to us by Yahweh how beautiful how wonderful but according to the church that commandment was nailed to the cross how foolish it is let's look at another commandment that's nailed to the cross because it's in the Torah we find it Deuteronomy 22 and10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and * an ass together wow what a strange command why would Yahweh tell them don't plow with a donkey and an ox together don't put them together are you telling me brother Bon I'll go to hell if I do that no I'm telling you think about it think about the law of God just think about it what's God saying remember what I taught you in previous lesson ask those primordial questions one of them is what is God saying to me through that commandment here's what he's saying it's plain and simple some things don't go together some things are unworkable * maybe it's a relationship between two people that are like an ox and a it will never work maybe it's a Business Partnership maybe it's a marriage there is a principle that is being taught to us to not get with people or in situations that are unworkable God's teaching us a lesson about sanctification and then Paul carries that lesson on in the New Testament by telling us by using the same example be not unequally Yol together with unbelievers where do you think Paul gets that from from the Torah that Jesus did * away with do you see the absurdity of every bit of this now the underlying principle is what we all must look for and what we must reach for I do not believe that any of the laws of God are done away with whatsoever they're part of the law that Yeshua said would never pass away so therefore I have to believe that however in the ceremonial laws as we like to call them when we realize the great symbolism in those ceremonies then in fact those laws are not done away with I'll give you a perfect example every church I know of has what they * call communion the fact is it's not communion it's Passover now the ceremony of Passover some of the regulations were changed but they were never done away with the Passover Lamb was replaced with the bread and the wine but they were never done away with the principle is still there albeit yua changed the elements still representing the same principle let me show you another ceremonial law that was not done away with water baptism that's right did you know water baptism comes to us from the ritualistic or the ceremonial laws of * the Torah for the purification of sin even non had to go dip himself seven times that all comes from Torah if that's been nailed to the cross then water baptism is no longer necessary but in fact water baptism is part of the cleansing ceremony required in the Torah when you get rid of Torah you get rid of the Bible and finally in closing I want to talk to you about two parts of the Torah that the church hates the Sabbath day and the holy days this ministry gets fault more hard or harder than anything else because we * keep the Sabbath day on the seventh day of the week and we keep the annual holy days because the church has failed to realize that these laws are highly symbolic they fail to understand that they were not done away with the church believes that the holy days were pointing to Christ but I tell you they were not they were pointing to the kingdom of God of which Christ is the king but if you point them all to Christ then you've missed the point the coming Sabbath rest let me give you an example do you know that you really not will not * find the mention of eternal life in the Old Testament or in the Torah you really don't find any specific commands promising eternal life but if you learn to think about the law you do find it where in the Sabbath day the first thing in the Gen in the Book of Genesis when God Sanctified the Sabbath and called it the day of rest it was a prophetic foreshadowing of the Eternal rest that would come to us which is eternal life so when we understand the symbolism of that law of God all all of a sudden it applies to our life today for every week * when we celebrate the Sabbath we are celebrating the eternal life that is waiting for us in the resurrection and then the holy days they don't Point backwards they point forward Passover unleavened bread shavo oat or first fruit trumpets atonement Tabernacles and the last great day contained within those laws that seem to make no sense I promise you if Jesus did away with those holy days he did away with some of the greatest Revelation you will ever receive the holy days are like seven pegs on a wall where you can hang * your coats they paint a picture they give you a complete story they are like markers on a road map that shows you that Yahweh is in control and when you no longer keep them then you've missed the point I want to invite you today if you've not kept the Sabbath or the Holy Days forget what they tell you it's all lies you're hearing the truth from the word of God right now begin to keep his Commandments and walk in Holiness and sanctification I pray that you've been blessed by today's lesson part six is coming up
