Paul went back to Jerusalem and privately told the leaders of the church that he had been preaching to the Gentiles. He then begins to tell us that Titus, a Greek, was with him and that the leaders had no problem with him being uncircumcised, but others whom he called false brethern, wanted to bring him into bondage, they wanted Titus to be circumcised.Paul goes on to say that they wanted Titus to be circumcised. Paul goes on to say that they did not yield to these false brethern. Then he tell us of when Peter came to Antioch, Peter and some of the others, withdrew to themselves and away from the Gentiles, He says that Peter was afraid of the circumcision and that Barnabas also withdrew from the uncircumcised. Paul confronted Peter and asked him why he compelled the Gentiles to Judaize and goes on to say that man is not justified through the law, but through faith, in Yahshua. At this point Paul begins to confront the situation in Galatia: O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth before whose eyes Yahshua Messiah hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? {verse 3 says are you so foolish? Having begun in the spirit, do you now perfect yourself in the flesh?.. Gal.3:1-3 The beginning of his letter he indicates the reason for writing the letter, the churches in Galatia were advocating circumcision as a beginning for salvation. Inheritance cannot be earned by keeping the law, Inheritance is through faith in the Messiah who redeemed us from the curse of the law{death}. The law, along with the death penalty for disobedience, applied to the Gentile Galatians, Messiah did not redeem them from the law, but from the curse{the death penalty required for disobedience.}
Through His shed blood, He is now the advocate of believers before the Father. If believers repent and confess their sin.{Transgression of the law},He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us form all unrighteousness. Repentant believers are redeemed from the curse of the law{death},and instead, are given everlasting life.
Paul says the following in Galatians 4:8, Howbeit then when ye knew not Elohim, *ye did service unto them which by nature are No elohim*, "They worshiped false elohim, but now after that ye have known Elohim or rather are known of Elohim, how turn ye again to weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye disire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, months, and times, and years, I am afraid of you, least I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
Remember history reveals that false worship systems dating back to Babylon held celebrations in honor of various gods and goddesses, there was a festival of the winter solstice {Christmas}, the birthday of the sun god and solemn fast of forty days in honor of the sun{lent},-celebration of Astarte{Easter},and many others to numerous to name. Paul refers to false worship, then he talks about the Galatians turning again to bondage, and then he speaks of observances, He said he was afraid of them why? because they wanted to keep the Sabbath! We know from the book of Acts that when Paul was in Jerusalem he was among Jewish believers and that they were all zealous of the law, Was he afraid of them? In ch.5, Paul is still talking about circumcision:"Behold, I Paul say unto you that if ye be circumcised, Messiah shall profit you nothing, :Again, at the end of the letter he refers to circumcision, "As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised: only least they should suffer persecution for the cross/stake of Messiah, for neither they themselves who are circumcised keepest the law, but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh, but Elohim forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Master Yahshua Messiah, for whom the world crucified unto me, and I unto the world, For in Yahshua Messiah neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Paul talks of circumcision all through out his letter, from the first , the middle, to the last. The main topic of the letter to the Galatians is circumcision, which has absolutely nothing to do with the moral Law of Elohim, {The 10 Commandments}.
Paul told the Galatians that salvation is not through the perfection of the flesh, {circumcision}, but by faith in the Messiah, A careful examination of the scripture reveals that there is no contradiction between what Paul said and when, Yahshua said: "Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law.."The 10 Commandments:" and this includes the 4th Commandment, and the weekly Sabbath and the Annual Sabbaths. Which this world and it's preachers hates.
What is it that defines Sin? What are we to repent of?
If the 10 Commandment's are done away with, {which you hear preached from behind the pulpit and we are told they were nailed to the cross} then there is no sin!
The Ten Commandments and the Ceremonial law "with Chart provided" Notice the difference between the two
If there is no sin, what are we to repent of?
There only remains {1} answer!
Sense the 10 Commandments are done away with, then it is man's tradition that defines sin, THUS, no need for Elohim for man has declared himself above His Creator.
People do not even know what they are to repent from!
They have no Idea what defines sin!
These people are not going to repent, they are listening to the lying preachers in the pulpits every Sunday morning, saying Yahweh's Commandments are nailed to the cross, they are done away with, NO they are NOT, It is the death penalty for breaking Yahweh's Commandments is what is nailed to the cross!
How does the Bible define Sin? 1 John 3:4 says that, Whoever sins is guilty of breaking Yahweh's law, because sin is a breaking of the law.
So what defines Sin? Yahweh's Royal Law {His 10 Commandments} tells us what defines sin.
It does not matter how much we do not want to see this Sabbath truth because truth is still truth and fact is fact
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men. Ecclesiastes 6:1
Elohim has revealed to man by His word, as well as His condemnation of those who would tamper with it.
Yahweh has informed us of His view of His word by giving us three grave warnings to those who would corrupt the Scriptures. Yahweh warned against adding to His Word:
"Every word of Yahweh is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." (Proverbs 30:5-6)
He also warned that they were not to subtract from His word. "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim which I command you." (Deuteronomy 4:2)
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, Elohim shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Yahweh shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." (Rev. 22:18-19)
Yahweh promised to severely punish anyone who adds to His word. Worse, He promised to expunge those who would take away from His words, from the book of life! In this light, should we not highly value the Holy word of the living Elohim your Yahweh?
Not only does the following apply to the disobedience to Yahweh, it also shows they followed after a lie, even a false doctrine, which promoted the idea of the immortality of the soul since Satan lied to Eve and told her that she would "not surely die". and not only does it deal with a physical, it deals with the Spiritual, Since the GREAT LIE was 1st told to Adam and Eve, the cornerstone of Satan's Lie is that "all human beings are born with immortal souls."
Genesis 3:1-13
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which YHWH Elohim had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Elohim said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
3:5 For Elohim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
3:8 And they heard the voice of YHWH Elohim walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of YHWH Elohim amongst the trees of the garden. 3:9 And YHWH Elohim called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
3:13 And YHWH Elohim said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
What is the meaning of the "spirit of the Law," vs. the "letter of the Law"?
In Matthew 5:20-44, Messiah showed that obeying the letter of the Law is a matter of physical action, whereas obeying the spirit of the Law requires more than just outward actions"it also involves an attitude of the mind"referred to by the Apostle Paul as circumcision of the heart (Rom. 2:28-29).
For example, Messiah showed that to merely refrain from adultery is obedience to the letter of the Law, but to obey both the spirit and letter of the Law, one must also exercise self-control (temperance"Gal. 5:23), and not even lust after someone (committing adultery in his heart).
Another example (not mentioned by Messiah in Matt. 5) is in the keeping of the Sabbath Day. To merely remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy (Ex. 20:8), not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together (Heb. 10:25), is in obedience to the letter of the Law. But to also rejoice in the Sabbath and call it a delight (Isa. 58:13) is keeping the spirit of the Law, as Yahweh intends. This principle applies to all of Yahweh's laws.
The religious world has promoted the idea of the immortality of the soul since Satan lied to Eve and told her that she would "not surely die". From that point forward, the false religion of the world, including modern-day Christianity have brought into this colossal lie since Satan told Eve in Genesis 3:4 that she would not die. This was done, in spite of the fact that Elohim had already warned Adam and Eve that, if they ate of the tree of knowledge, they would surely die.{Gen.2:17},"The preachers and teachers of the world's religions constantly "Preach to their followers, that at birth, we are given an "immortal soul" and at death, that soul either goes to heaven where it lives eternally with God or to hell where it is tortured eternally by Satan. The concept of human beings possessing an immortal soul is "NOWHERE" to be found in the Bible, in fact the Bible teaches just the opposite, as we read in Ezekiel 18:4,..the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Memorize this verse, How did this lie creep into Christianity when the Bible teaches the opposite?
Tortured Forever : Do you know the Christian concept of hell came straight out of Milton's "Paradise Lost," satire on religion. The idea of the souls of human beings being tortured and living forever in an ever burning hell, believe it or not, DOES NOT COME FROM THE BIBLE!! It finds it's origins in Milton's Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno.
"Yea, hath YHWH said. . ." became the very first bad seed (lie) that began the deception of mankind and has continued since the garden of Eden.
