"But, nobody can keep the Commandments perfectly"

[thegatheringdenver]

Galatians 3:24 So the law was our guardian UNTIL Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are NO LONGER under a guardian. - Rav. Shaul

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@thegatheringdenver Not one time did Y'shua say to cease from keeping the Commandments of The Creator.

If you truly believe we are no longer required to keep the Commandments then you aren't required to govern yourself according to them, much less criticize another for not doing so. He didn't come to release us from righteous living but to teach us how to live righteously 1John5:3 This is love for [The Creator]: to obey his commands. And His commands are not burdensome

[thegatheringdenver]

Yes but you can't just take 1 Jn. 5:3 out of context. That passage is clearly talking about salvation through Christ ALONE. for only 7 verses later we get this: "12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." You can try to keep every law of Moses but without Jesus Christ you do not have life.

[thegatheringdenver]

Galatians 5:4

4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

[LeavittMusicService]

Galatians 5

Freedom in Christ 1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

[Elijah43mb]

I love your video's. This might be my favorite. Very well done.

[TheProdigalson49]

thumbs up..... Mzmichelle777

[elcosu1993]

AMEN!

[sukruoosten]

so i cant see this point of vieuw if this is correct then Jesus died for nothing !!!! because this means we can bee saved throw the laws !!!! we dont need Jesus then !!! we need to pray en repent everyday there is no man/woman who is sinless en can keep the laws his entire life the prophets like Noah walked with god YES but even those people committed sins en needed to REPENT !!!! i dont believe the same as you do i need Jesus because i cant keep the laws fellow believers ????? answer me!

[MzMichelle777]

@sukruoosten we are saved by grace...and Yahushua/Jesus of Nazareth calls us all to repentance... if you love me obey me.. That is becoming holy.. Be ye holy ... it is a process.. He did not do away with the commandments but the >added< ones of some of the Pharisees.He obeyed the Father ,only did and said what HE heard and saw His FATHER do and say. He and The FATHER YHWH, gave us The HOLY Spirit, The Comforter, to help us and lead us into all truth.. Shalom~

[Elijah43mb]

@sukruoosten

Gal. 2:18 For if I rebuild what I have destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ...

Gal 3:19 Why the Law then? It was added because of Transgressions...

Gal 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified in faith.

As we come to the Law, to follow and Obey it we find lawlessness in us, which leads some to repent of their sin and find Christ. Christ is the end of the Law.

[sukruoosten]

good video but the problem is not only 10 commandments but also over 600 laws we must obey

en you can obey them for 1 hour ore 1 day ore 1 month ore even a year ????

but NOT your whole life i doubt anyone can do that

en what about the prophets they committed all big sins

murder alcoholic adultery idol worship liars

but in the end were forgiven by grace they couldn't obey so how can we ????

we need to obey but we cant

we are already lost (sinners) at birth !!!!

[Elijah43mb]

@sukruoosten The laws of Moses written by Moses are no longer in effect, thus the New Covenant with Christ. Only the 10 Commandments are still in effect.

Be Blessed!

[narco73]

@Elijah43mb Why would you say that? Jesus disagreed with you:

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

[Elijah43mb]

@narco73 Jesus never told any gentile believer to keep the laws of Moses. The only Commandments Jesus spoke of keeping where those written by the finger of God.

The 10 Commandments. 

I hope that clears up what I said.

[narco73]

@Elijah43mb Seriously? It seems you have been misinformed.

Did you not read the bible quote you replied to? It says that if you tell people that the old law doesn't stand (like you just did) you will be called "the least" in heaven.

Also, I'm guessing you don't know what the 10 commandments that were written by god are. Moses broke the first lot, then had the same commandments dictated to him for the second lot. Have you even read what these are? Don't cook a goat in its mother's milk, etc..

[Elijah43mb]

@narco73  Really! Peace to you my friend.

[narco73]

@Elijah43mb Yes really! Crazy huh? I have yet to meet a religious person who realised that the tenth commandment as written on stone by Moses and carried round in the ark of the covenant is actually "thou shalt not boil a baby goat in its mothers milk"

peace to you too.

[runrunawaynow]

Beautiful, thank you. Hope to see more like this.

[JEvrist]

WOW scotty that was an awesome video!! you are talented!! thank you!!!

[XjmedX]

Great video!! It's time people stop making excuses and weigh what they've been taught against scripture. We are all responsible for following the Torah. God loves by giving us by forgiving us. We love him back by obeying him. One law for everyone.

Lev 24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

[tigerlamb007]

Wow. This was SUCH a good video. So well put together and very edifying. Thanks and shabbat shalom:)!

[av8tr2010]

You should either follow every single one of them or not follow them at all. Keeping Mosaic law does nothing to further your relationship with Christ. I believe it hinders it.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@av8tr2010 my friend...I would go read what the Messiah said again. The 2 (love YHWH and your neighbor) are a summary of the 10 which are in turn a summary of the rest...just as Messiah Himself said. (Matthew 22)

And I would be careful to acknowledge that Messiah said He did not come to abolish Torah (Instructions) but state that He did anyway...Consider if a parent says "Being a parent fulfills me"...does that mean he/she is saying it abolishes him/her? of course not...

[av8tr2010]

@abranchoftheTrueVine your statement about "Being a parent fulfills me" makes absolutely no sense at all. I can say it again, the Mosaic law is just that! Laws! The thing I have learned about people who call themselves Messianic Jewish, is that they all look down upon everyone else that doesn't follow the Mosaic Law. I even had someone tell me that they were better than I was! Nothing could be further than the truth!

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@av8tr2010 it is difficult to convey one's demeanor in these tiny posts...if you were offended by my statement then I apologize for my failure in delivery; however, my point remains. I do not look down on anyone my friend. (I am neither "Messianic Jewish") I am sorry that you have encountered some who have practiced the deeds of the Nicolaitans over you...but I beg you to not judge me based upon those encounters.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@av8tr2010 the parent analogy was to demonstrate the use of the word "fulfill"...in the verse it is used by Messiah, He is not saying He has done away with Torah...just as a parent isn't saying he/she is "done away with" when he/she claims parenthood fulfills him/her.

[av8tr2010]

@abranchoftheTrueVine We are ALL sinners in the sight of God, and the ONLY way to salvation is through the One and Only Jesus Christ! The thing is, I make mistakes and sin everyday! So does everyone else including you! Thank goodness for the conviction of the Holy Spirit in my life, because it scares me to think where I would be without Him! When Jesus died on the cross for sinners, He also fulfilled the law. By doing so, it makes all 613 laws irrelevant. He did not abolish the Commandments

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@av8tr2010 but please, read what Messiah said Himself about this matter. The 10 Commandments are a part of those 613. The rest of the Commandments explain HOW we are not to observe the 10. He did not leave any gray areas for us to fill in on our own.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@abranchoftheTrueVine ...sorry...should read "...HOW we are to (and not to) observe 10."

[av8tr2010]

@abranchoftheTrueVine Galations 2:21 says, "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose." Believing that one must keep 613 laws of tradition diminishes the grace and power of God. When was the last time you fell to your knees and broke down because of the grace and mercy of God? I got caught up in a church that was nothing but legalism and rules and it completely hindered my view of Christ and what He accomplished on the Cross

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@av8tr2010 i too was caught in a church full of legalism and rules, and I left it's doctrines a long time ago. I now only follow the Laws Instructed to us by Our Father and follow the One Who came to reinforce Them. If the 613 Laws are done away with then you are inevitably saying that it is permissible to lie, steal, etc. (I obviously know that you're not saying that but please consider this.) And the Torah is not just tradition...it's governing ourselves according to His Instruction.

[av8tr2010]

@abranchoftheTrueVine I would also encourage you to be careful how you come across to other Christians. Agreeing to disagree is sometimes necessary, but please don't put me or other people down because we don't share your belief in keeping the Mosaic law. My best friend is Messianic Jewish and we have to agree to disagree yet we have a great friendship.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@av8tr2010 again, it's difficult to convey demeanor w/i these posts, especially w/ someone I don't know. If i've caused you offense I apologize, that's not my M.O. We know how to serve Him...we know how to identify what sin is...we know how to please Him, follow Him because He has told us. If the "Mosaic Law" is done away with then how do you determine what sin is? what righteousness is? please, you can't hear my tone or see my face, I am not attacking you, just asking.

[MsLoverofTruth]

@abranchoftheTrueVine Amein! So true. Without Torah aka Law there would be no transgression of the Torah or Law. It's impossible. All of Paul's letters you can read where he is ministering to babes in the faith about them continuing in the Torah and the Spirit. So any of those who try n say Paul's writings weren't about Torah they don't know what they're talking about.

[DelaYahu]

@av8tr2010

Your statements do not line up with the WORD preached by Yahushua Messiah, but by the traditions of men which Yahushua warned us about.

Those who have a willing heart/mind to want to "be like" the Messiah, have made up their mind to jump like the ducklings, follow the torah and forsake the world and the things in it.

Thanks to Yahushua who gave Himself as a lamb offering to show us the way to the Father and who gave all glory honor and praise to YHWH our Father.

HalleluYAH!

[av8tr2010]

Romans 7:6 says " But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit". The issue that I have, is the people I know who consider themselves Messianic Jewish equate keeping the Mosaic law AND having a relationship with Christ as a means to salvation. Also, you shouldn't pick and choose which of the 613 laws you are going to practice and which ones you are not.

[av8tr2010]

I am a Christian, and the issue I have with Messianic views are that first off there is no need to follow religious law! When Jesus Christ completed the work on the Cross, he fulfilled the law. Yes, I know you will say He did not abolish it but He did abolish the Mosaic Law. The purpose of these laws was for religious reasons. He did not say keep the MOSAIC law, but rather to keep the COMMANDMENTS.

[Jimvesterstallone]

@av8tr2010 Do you realize that the law (which does contain the commandments - we can't separate one from the other) that was given to Moses, a.k.a. the Mosaic law, IS *God's* law?

"these joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and an oath to walk in *God’s Law*, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the *commandments* of the LORD our Lord, and *His* ordinances and *His* statutes" Nehemiah10:29

Jesus NEVER said not to uphold God's law.

[patriotadEEUU]

What if I work on the sabbath?

Is self defense a sin then?

Why does one Bible say, Thou shalt not kill and the other, Thou shalt not murder?

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@patriotadEEUU you are encountering different translations...which are the fruits of man. The Commandment is to not murder.

Consider how YaHuWaH would issue such an instruction and then tell the army to go defeat the enemy; He would not give us a double-standard to follow. Killing does not equal murder. Self-defense is not "bad".

The Sabbath is a weekly "vacation". How wonderful that He instructs us to take a break from the world, from our own kingdoms and to rest in His. ;-)

[NWOIS666]

We don't "obey" Torah to be saved; We obey Torah BECAUSE we are saved !!

[Brwneydgrl69]

■Messiah Y’shua did not come to do away with Torah (Matt. 5:17-19). Although keeping Torah cannot atone for sin (Psa 40:6; Heb 9:9, 10:1-11), we are still expected to obey YHWH and guard his commandments (John 14:15, 15:10; Rom. 2:7-15, 3:28-31; Jam. 2:14-26, 1 Joh. 5:2-3; 2 Joh. 1:6).

[rokedemiah]

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey non believers......If a GIRL ( me) can keep the commandment and get prayed through ( repent) when she messes up, what's your excuse?

[randykelli]

This is the best video on YouTube right NOW. There is none better. You did a magnificent job here. You are my friend and I have never met you, because you are a friend of Yahushua. John 15:14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." Thought I'd let you know. -R

[elskid206]

Thanks much. There were a ton of great verse here. I will be using this for a group study some day. Thank again.

[droptozro]

great video.. I get flack all the time for telling others to keep the commandments. I really wonder if anyone has read the Scriptures ON THEIR OWN any longer.. or just listens to men and doesn't check their sermons/teachings up. I don't know how a person can read the entire Scripture and walk away saying "I don't have to obey God/I can't obey God." I ran into a Catholic who claimed that b/c Jesus told people to be holy, and "no one can be"--that means there "must be a purgatory"... blasphemy!

[LucPFT]

Beautiful, beautiful video. Todah :)

[JesusSetsMeFree]

In gaurding the commandments of Yahuwah I have heard it all just as you post in the begining of the video! 

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@JesusSetsMeFree ah yes...the name-calling is always "fun". I am sorry to hear you have encountered it as well but it's a small price to pay in order to be "set-apart".

[JesusSetsMeFree]

@abranchoftheTrueVine Thanks for the positive words. I believe we must uphold the law and guard the commandments by striving to keep them. I know that we can do it. There is no excuse for not keeping them. They are not burdensome. People keep the law of the land all the time because there is consequences. I do not see why they don't apply the same thinking to Yah's laws since they are eternal.

[EnduringForTheKing]

Awesome vid...Praise Yahweh!!!!

[1980PintoMan]

Contradictory video. You can keep the commandments. No one can. Just repent every time you break them and then you can keep them. Whoever made this video needs to do some more learning before they try to teach.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@1980PintoMan hmmmm....I'm sorry you feel that way. That's not what I said in the video.

Everyone CAN keep the Commandments. It is up to each person to make THE CHOICE to obey or not obey - also one can not choose WHICH Commandments to keep, one cannot be partial in obedience. And Repentance is a Commandment. It is not one that is provided as a "quick fix" but as one that changes the direction a person is "going" so that he/she does not RETURN to that sin.

[m941826]

@abranchoftheTrueVine Hence Shaul(Paul)says WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION DAILY. We must make the choice EVERY DAY until our days are fulfilled.

[DelaYahu]

@abranchoftheTrueVine

Wonderful video, so well said. An important message.

Those who listen have an inheritance. Those who do not,

or do not have the opportunity to listen, will at least be judged according to their works and deeds(Rev. 20:12-13). The Father is just.

[Owlmon]

follow his advise get agreement with all of your adversaries act as the watchman and warn them of the hole in man made godless law they will fall into if they obstruct Ezekiel 33 your ministry...All hail YaHuWaH! |Praise Yah! you ar not to bow or submit to false oathed false gods men puffed up acting as authorities when they have false oaths and added to Yah's law.....bogus equals impostors....Romans 16:17-20

[TheDoglover777]

I Find it Interesting people keep saying we must keep the Law. I Know we are to Obey Them but Obeying them is not going to buy you a spot in Heaven

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@TheDoglover777 We'll be keeping the Laws during the 1,000 yr reign of Messiah too-if we don't keep them now, why would He let us keep them then? Matt.19:16And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?17And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but IF YOU WISH TO ENTER LIFE, keep the commandments.” And in Matt. 7:23 "...'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

[imseekingtruth]

@TheDoglover777 You are right. Keeping the law will not buy you a spot in Heaven. We are saved by the blood of Yahshua, but if we don't keep the commandments than how does one live? The law is a list of instructions to keep yourself pure and clean in the sight of a Holy Elohim. Yahweh sets the standards of purity not us. If we don't live by His instructions than whose are we living by?

[anointedsword]

@TheDoglover777 Obeying comes from loving God. True faith leads to good works. Jesus never said His Father commandments was foolishness, he said the commandments of men. If you love me, keep my commandments. To be honest with you, I believe it is a lack of faith in Christ that makes us say it is impossible.

[torahunique]

For those that seem to think Jesus/Yeshua is their righteousness, you might want to quit following Paul and listen to Yeshua. What he says is: Mat 5:20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Yeshua said your righteousness, not His. You might want to research how you attain righteousness. Clue one Deut 6:25

[Bearkiller777]

So let me ask one question: What was the purpose of the Law if Christ wasn't the Fulfillment of the Law? Did Christ not die for the transgressions of those imputed sins that once we place our faith in Him we are saved? Romans 3:23 For all have Fallen short of the Glory of God - we have all Broken God's law we cannot be perfect only Jesus was perfect - He was our Mediator and He intercedes for us at God's Right hand

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@Bearkiller777 Messiah fulfilling the Law doesn't mean in definition "doing away with" but rather "fleshing out, explaining, etc" Just as a mother might say, "Being a mother fulfills me"; she is not saying that being a mother does away with her self but fills her self up. Messiah said Himself "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets...." He came to show us how to keep the Instructions. If He had come to "abolish" the Law then He would have been a false prophet.

[Bearkiller777]

@abranchoftheTrueVine You didn't finish the Quote my friend........He said in FULL and I quote " “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULFILL them." Jesus WAS the Fulfillment of the Law

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@Bearkiller777 exactly...the fulfillment...not the "doing away with". Read yourself what you just quoted: "Do not think that I have come to ABOLISH the Law or the Prophets "aka "the Old Testament".

He EXPLAINED the Instructions, for example when He explained the commandment concerning adultery He did not say it's "done with"; if anything He made it more stringent. Matthew 5:27-28 He explained the spirit of the commandments.

[Bearkiller777]

@abranchoftheTrueVine So your saying we have to keep all 613 Commandments and if we don't keep all of them perfectly, and such, then we aren't saved? Isn't That What Legalism is? I'm sorry if we have to keep the Law of God perfectly then Christ died for NOTHING. Christ died so that we could have Eternal life by believing and trusting in HIS Righteousness because He had a perfect record and kept all 613. You need to stop trusting in your own performance and self-righteousness its about CHRIST

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@Bearkiller777 "Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 5:19 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. Luke 16:17 Your problem is not with me but with HIM & YHWH said His Instructions are FOREVER, I'd read everything again.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@Bearkiller777 to add, if your penalty has been satisfied by another for breaking "The Law" why do you think that means you are now free to go back & do it again? It's about as ludicrous as a child telling the parent that he is free from the house rules or an employee telling a boss he doesn't need to do the job description. Am I a "legalist" for keeping the U.S. Constitution? NO! AND Just because all of the laws in it don't directly apply to me that does not mean it too is "done away with"

[JTMMobileMechanic]

I agree with the video except that Yeshua when asked "who then can be saved?" replied "With man this is impossible, but with Yahweh all things are possible." This doesn't mean it was impossible for a man to live blameless, but it was impossible for a man to even find the Kindgom of Heaven because of all of his cares in this world. This is evident because this was all in regards to how hardly the rich should enter the Kingdom of Heaven. So no man can come except the Father has called Him!

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@JTMMobileMechanic and now you understand the instance of the Exodus: they were CALLED out of Egypt first, then followed the "Savior", were "baptized" (mikveh) in the Red Sea, led to the place where they entered Covenant and broke It.The whole time obedience was paramount.Then, the "kicker": out of the entire original Exodus group, only 2 were allowed to enter the Promised Land. Talk about a narrow gate. Indeed, many ARE called, but few are chosen...unlike the rest, Caleb and Joshua obeyed all.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@JTMMobileMechanic (I hope that my reply did not have an air of arrogance, it's difficult to convey a message in these tiny reply posts.) You are correct too, if man cares too much about his own kingdom, he will never find the Kingdom of Heaven.

[JTMMobileMechanic]

@abranchoftheTrueVine No arrogance conveyed, not to me at least. I was edified by your reply. It's a shame so many confuse conviction and certainty from Yahweh's Word with pride. True humility allows Yahweh to be true and everything that opposes Him to be a lie. We can't help but to boast and speak with authority His Word and His ways. Humility leads us to deny ourselves the approval of others so that Yahweh is preached. Humility makes us weak so that He is Strong. I see no arrogance. :)

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@JTMMobileMechanic ahhh...thank you my friend. ^_^

EXCELLENT VIDEO, I agree with several earlier comments it needs to slow down in several places. Other than that I highly recommend it in sharing the truth



[faxchase]

Great job, I like these also:

Revelation 12:17

Revelation 14:12

Revelation 22:14

So many witnesses testify against the lies we have learned in "church".

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@faxchase yes, indeed. 

[messianictorah]

Great video, I could have made the same one in my mind. This is what the scriptures teach, but some read the Bible and get a different message. They fall for bribe of salvation at the end. I beleive the mercy is for the righteous. Many will be surprised as they were at the time of the flood.

[chava2uk]

Brilliant! And Oh so simple. Just obey! How many times do we parents say to our own children "Do as you are told!" Do we expect them to? Yes. Do we accept the excuse "It is too hard, you don't really mean that,"? No. So why do we expect YHWH to allow us to say it to Him? If our child says "sorry" what then? It is soon over and forgotten, the relationship unspoiled. So it is with out Heavenly Father when we repent. We don't let our children make a habit of it either. Neither does He!

[mkjerl2010]

watch?v=CasgeaWo7js

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@mkjerl2010 It is with our flesh that we execute obedience to the Commandments. It is our job to master our flesh...not use it as an excuse for why we can't keep the Instructions. Job's friends tried saying the same (Job 25:4 as an example) "How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure?" and the Creator REBUKED them. "Little children, make sure NO one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;" 1 John3:7

[NoOrdinaryCity]

Awesome video - very good collection of verses on righteousness and a perfect counter to the "nobody's perfect" crowd.

Thank you!

[LutheranChic615]

I disagree. Believers have been made righteous by Faith in JESUS and his SHED BLOOD for our SINS..

2 Timothy 3:16 - ALL Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,

Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! (best to read Gal 2:16-21 but couldn't post all on here)

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@LutheranChic615 because I lack the room in this post to properly respond, please watch it again, and note the passages where Messiah tells us we are to be righteous, perfect. Righteousness = obeying the Creator, which is what the Messiah taught and demonstrated. He did not carry the responsibility of being obedient FOR us but rather SHOWED us how to carry it. We are to be obedient as He was. His blood reconciles us to YaHuWaH...not exempt us from obedience/righteous living.

[LutheranChic615]

@abranchoftheTrueVine I agree we should be obedient, but we are only righteous through Faith in Christ. We WANT to please Our Father. And YES there is not enough room on here..

1 John 8-10 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@LutheranChic615 Yes...I did include and reiterate Ecclesiastes 7:20 & 1 John 1:8. How would you explain the list of people in the video as examples who were indeed righteous? When the Messiah went around teaching He reiterated to be righteous by obeying The Creator. Even after His Resurrection His message was the same: go teach ALL that I have taught you (very end of Matthew) Revelations, as well, states that we are to keep the Commandments. And "Faith" = love/trust-inspired obedience.

[LutheranChic615]

@abranchoftheTrueVine "How would you explain the list of people in the video as examples who were indeed righteous?" - King David- was he righteous? He committed adultery and murder, are those not SINS? .. Then we see in Psalm 51 he confesses his Sins, he trusts God to wipe clean his transgressions..And the Good News, is he had Faith in God's Grace and Mercy, he was forgiven and God's righteousness, imputed righteousness. Hebrews 11 has MANY examples of FAITH which made them righteous.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@LutheranChic615 righteousness = obeying the Creator...Who included repentance as a commandment when we sin. By observing this commandment wholeheartedly it is obeying the Creator. So yes, David was righteous...he WAS given the promise that his heir would be the Messiah. 1 Kings 15:5, 1 Kings 14:8, Psalm 18:23, 2 Samuel 22:22-25 I used Cain and David as examples of those who both "screwed up" but are very different based upon their decisions and reactions to being held accountable.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@LutheranChic615

Dear LutheranChic615, you and I will fill pages desperately trying to convey our points in these tiny little "reply posts"...My biggest message is: Obey the Creator, obey the Messiah. If we claim to serve Them, then we should do as they say. When we stumble WE REPENT. I appreciate you watching the video and for your input.

@LutheranChic615 What a blessing it would be if Christ didn't die because his followers were righteous, him dying for nothing is actually people not returning to the law and yet he still died, that is him dying for nothing.

@messianictorah Third, that they be forbidden on pain of death to praise God, to give thanks, to pray, and to teach publicly among us and in our country...Fourth, that they be forbidden to utter the name of God within our hearing. For we cannot with a good conscience listen to this or tolerate it...

[elskid206]

@messianictorah First, that their synagogues be burned down, and that all who are able toss sulphur and pitch; it would be good if someone could also throw in some hellfire...Second, that all their books-- their prayer books, their Talmudic writings, also the entire Bible-- be taken from them, not leaving them one leaf, and that these be preserved for those who may be converted...

[elskid206]

@messianictorah It is not hard to imagine your resistance to this of the Torah considering the stand of the namesake of your denomination. Here is what Luther said in "On the Jews and Their Lies"

It is no wonder you have such a Accordingly, it must and dare not be considered a trifling matter but a most serious one to seek counsel against this and to save our souls from the Jews, that is, from the devil and from eternal death. My advice, as I said earlier, is:

[SHEEPinWOLFskin]

Well done! Only by the misunderstanding of Paul' writings, can one believe in "lawlessness by faith." it's the lawless ones(wicked) who cherry pick scripture to soothe their burning ears. Repent and Walk the Torah of יהוה of Hosts with the testimony of Yahushua ha Mashiyach - Revelation 14:12

Peace be with you

[messianictorah]

@SHEEPinWOLFskin I love your lawlessness by faith phrase, Iw ill ahve to use that, it is a good description.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and support. May we all stop our excuses and simply obey the Creator, may we follow the Messiah who taught to obey His Father.

[csathys]

Thank you considering. Also, please make sure colors of the font do not get lost with the background color. This is help everyone including the color blind.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@csathys yes...thank you. Sometimes it is difficult to find just the right color when overlaying text upon an image but I will indeed keep that in mind. thank you.

[csathys]

This is a great video. Thank you for posting. The texts could have been made to stay a little longer, especially when it is longer. Definitely would have helped viewing easy. Otherwise, this is a great video that the entire Christian world needs to see. Fabulous.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@csathys thank you for the feedback...I forget that i am a fast reader...I will take that into consideration on my next video. Thank you.

[Jimvesterstallone]

@abranchoftheTrueVine I'm stunned by the video, it's a lot to take in. It was so well done, &the visuals helped so much to convey your message. I have the same problem that csathys pointed out - when I make my videos, I have a friend view them before I make them public because without fail I have to slow every screen down by 2-3 seconds!

To me the message here is, repent WHEN you sin&press on. But REPENT. This is, I believe, what makes one "blameless." We must examine ourselves& turn from sin.

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@Jimvesterstallone

"repent WHEN you sin&press on. But REPENT. This is, I believe, what makes one "blameless." We must examine ourselves& turn from sin."

well said Jim.

[messianictorah]

@csathys I agree, the text in some places disapeared before I was done reading it.

[mattqatsi]

YES

[scourtle]

watch?v=_yN1zDeiK20 Jesus alone. Yeshua took the stripes for our sin. if we truly love and belive we will repent and try to do better. righteous but not perfect. but i guess nvm old and new testament we can just cherry pick to suit our needs.

also YHVH

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@scourtle EVEN Messiah said "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." I am not "cherry picking"...I am reiterating the resounding theme throughout the Scriptures.

[messianictorah]

@abranchoftheTrueVine Amain!

[abranchoftheTrueVine]

@scourtle (sorry had to break it into two posts)

And if I may reply to your "also YHVH", the Masoretic vowel-pointing indebted us with the "V" sound for a number of reasons (to lengthy to go into on a "reply") but this is easily researched:  the "waw" was originally a "W" sound.

I do appreciate your feed back and thank you for watching the video.

[rsims87]

@scourtle You shouldn't cherry pick, you should follow all of His instruction. Those who throw out the "Old Testament" are the ones cherry picking. Especially the ones who still insist on tithing, no tattoos and such. Let's not forget, sex with animals is not forbidden in the "New Testament" Scriptures. Is that okay now? lol i think not.

[messianictorah]

@scourtle That video Jesus alone was garbage. Too bad they disabled comments because they stuff she was saying wasn't scriptural. I'm not sure if you are promoting it or refuting it by your comment, but the beleive(faith) or do(law) part was funny. beleif without living it is the model of an idol. people beleive in them but they do nothing. They will be burned.

[DreamGyrl360]

Okay everyone say it with me -- I. Love. Your. Videos.

AWESOME! Do you know I needed to hear it? I'm not particularly stumbling, but something in my heart says "You needed this!"

Our environment IS inhospitable. And I think it gets me down. I need to pray because there are some things that need to be addressed in my life with people close to me and I will need our Abba to lean on when the time comes.

I need Him to give me a "NOWS THE TIME" so that I won't be tactless...

Todah rabbah!!

[jggp13]

THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO, TO YHWH BE ALL THE GLORY, THANKS A LOT!

YHWH BLESS YOU MUCH, RICHLY AND ABUNDANTLY.

[SuperBoomboon]

aWSOME vid ty ! yeah only salvation & faith is to obey to Yeshua & YHWH. if i say "don´t touch there is high-tension-radioactive. trust me, if u want to save your life" and u say -oh I TRUST u, my life s saved .. and about touching there, why not? if my life is saved !- And u touch there .. means u haven´t understood anything.

if another makes this reasoning to u is that he wants u electrocuted ..

trust, faith is to take seriously and obey what u r said.

the other is.. a tease =\ !

[POWminsitries]

Nice! YaHuWaH be with you and keep you! Shalom, shalom!
