Has TORAH been "done away with?"

Let us find out, for can anything be more important, less salvation and Elohim's (God's) Name? Surely if Scripture is our basis of faith, we should know exactly what Scripture is applicable! Let us begin...

Lawlessness -vs- Iniquity:

(Mat 7:21-23 KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. {22} Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? {23} And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (anomia).

Strong's #458. anomia, an-om-ee'-ah; from G459; illegality, i.e. violation of law or (gen.) wickedness:--iniquity, X transgress (-ion of) the law, unrighteousness.

"Iniquity," the English word used to translate the Greek word "anomia," is an incorrect, out-of-context translation. Anomia simply means "INSTRUCTION." This Greek word is fitting as the Hebrew word "Torah" means the "Set-Apart Instructions" of YHWH. So what Yahushua (Jesus) is REALLY SAYING is, "... I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work LAWLESSNESS (no TORAH)." See the difference a mistranslated word can make? This is in direct unity with all of Yahushua's (Jesus') other teachings as well.

Do you think this "mistake" had anything to do with the deep-seated, anti-Jewish conviction these translators had? I think so, but I wasn't there at the time. I can only go by the PRECEDENT & CONTEXT set for a specific word, and "iniquity" is just too far of a stretch to be taken seriously. KISS! Keep It Simple Soldier! The correct English word is "lawlessness."

NIV translators, conveniently enough, correctly translated it in 2 Thessalonians 2:8 when it referred to the "Anti-Messiah (Anti-Christ)" and it didn't challenge their established, Gentile doctrines...

(2 Th 2:8 NIV) And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

Strong's #459. anomos, an'-om-os; from G1 (as a neg. particle) and G3551; lawless, i.e. (neg.) not subject to (the Jewish) law; (by impl. a Gentile), or (pos.) wicked:--without law, lawless, transgressor, unlawful, wicked.

Therefore, a MORE ACCURATE translation would be:

(2 Th 2:8) And then the one without Torah will be revealed, whom Adonai Yahushua (Lord Jesus) will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

Replacement Theology & Dispensationalism:

Replacement theology teaches that Yahweh (YHWH) always replaces a previous covenant with a newer, different or better one. Once the newer one is sealed, it virtually nullifies or at best decreases the importance of the previous one.

Yahweh made or renewed seven covenants with mankind. These are Noahic, Abrahamic, Isaac, Jacobic (three time renewal of the same promise), Mosaic, Davidic, and the Messianic Brit Chadashah. The perfect covenant was the seventh made with Israel’s Redeemer. Seven is the number of completion, not replacement. Yahweh has never and will never replace any of these covenants. There are still rainbows, stars and David’s throne, all eternal tokens of these various eternal covenants. Yahweh does not have to nullify one to cut a newer one. He never has and never will. The failure of the church system to grasp this basic concept, has led to the false conclusion that since the Brit Chadashah has replaced Torah, then Yahshua has replaced Moses and the so called church has replaced Israel. Rav Shaul calls this theology which is at the core of popery as well as most reformation churches, demonic doctrine.

Dispensationalism is a fancy word for a man-made theory that teaches that Yahweh (YHWH) deals differently with different people in different economies and different historical times.

The dispensationalist school also renders Yahweh impotent to deal with many groups or nationalities simultaneously. This demonic thinking states that in order for Yahweh to deal with the church in a new dispensation, He had to eliminate the previous one. Isn’t Yahweh working in all the earth among all diverse peoples simultaneously? Is there a single piece of scriptural evidence to justify dispensationalism? Did Yahweh have to ridicule and replace Moshe and Joshua to establish the throne of His Son, or does Yahweh still simultaneously honor all three? Yahshua’s appearing did not eliminate the various ministries of other divinely sent prophets. They all spoke and through their writings still speak for Almighty Yahweh. Yahweh is not like a human employee who cannot hold two full-time jobs simultaneously. Yahweh never eliminates a covenant or a promise in order to replace it.

These are the "demon seeds (lies)" that have deceived the modern, Gentile church into rejecting the clearly established ways and customs of Yahweh (YHWH). Once again, Rabbi Moshe says it best...

Yell, scream, kick, and object all you want. The Bible not only does not teach dispensationalism, it labels it demonic doctrine. Dispensationalism was the fertilizer that nourished the seeds of pre-existing European anti-Semitism. It gave Adolph Hitler a theological justification to destroy the Jewish race, since his spiritual ancestor Martin Luther had declared all Jews forsaken and cursed by Yahweh as products of an old and forsaken dispensation! On several occasions, Hitler quoting Luther proclaimed that he was called to enact the will of Yahweh regarding the Jews and even shared this madness with the Pope (another dispensationalist). Since the Pope and Hitler shared the same theology about the Jews, the Pope conspired with Adolph Hitler to remain silent about Hitler’s proposed Final Solution to the Jewish "problem". All the while the Pope knew Hitler’s insane intentions! With that in mind, we recall that Yahshua spoke of a tree always being known by the fruit it produces. A bad and corrupt tree cannot produce good fruit. Common sense teaches us that dispensationalism cannot be from Yahweh, since it has consistently and cyclically been used repeatedly through the centuries to kill one of Yahweh’s two chosen families. The fruit of dispensationalist teachings has usually been rotten to the core resulting in death and murder. Yahweh is the author of life. Both physical and spiritual! By definition His covenant keeping nature, does not allow Him to glide into any form of church dispensationalist propaganda.

The Messiah reveals TORAH as eternal TRUTH...

(John 17:17 KJV) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Messiah Yahushua prays that the Father YHWH will continue to "SANCTIFY" us through the Father's "TRUTH," for His word is truth...

What is the Father's Word? When Yahushua prayed this, the only "Scripture" in existence was the TANAKH; Torah, the Prophets and the Writings. Now, after further revelation of truth through the Disciples, the WHOLE BIBLE, together as ONE BOOK, has become the Father's Word! Nothing, not one jot or tittle, has "passed away."
