DEATH IS THE CURSE_ UNDERSTANDING THE LAW OF SIN _ DEATH - LEARNING TORAH SERIES PT. 7 · truthunedited

0:03
Speaker 1: In the last part of this series, part six, we
0:05
Speaker 1: dealt with the last objection when dealing with the Torah,
0:08
Speaker 1: and it probably is the most misunderstood objection, which is
0:10
Speaker 1: not being under the law. This is a major objection
0:13
Speaker 1: that is used today in Christianity because of false teachers
0:16
Speaker 1: and false doctrines. It's people going to theology school to
0:20
Speaker 1: be taught what the word says instead of reading it
0:22
Speaker 1: on their own to study to show themselves approved. If
0:25
Speaker 1: we read the word and apply context to what is
0:27
Speaker 1: being read, the confusion goes away. But when we read
0:31
Speaker 1: through the lens that we were taught to read the
0:32
Speaker 1: scriptures from, this is exactly how confusion is able to
0:35
Speaker 1: be introduced and is exactly what has happened today. Because
0:39
Speaker 1: if you just read Paul's letters without any kind of
0:41
Speaker 1: influence and stop assuming that he's referring to the law
0:44
Speaker 1: of Moses and you just read his letter, what Paul
0:47
Speaker 1: is speaking about makes a lot more sense. And then
0:50
Speaker 1: all of a sudden reading Paul becomes a lot more clear.
0:53
Speaker 1: The problem is not Paul. The problem is the lack
0:56
Speaker 1: of reading comprehension because people have been influenced by liars
1:00
Speaker 1: and false teachers and people are reading Paul through a
1:03
Speaker 1: lawless lens that should not be applied. Now, before I continue,
1:07
Speaker 1: let me say this first. In part six, as I
1:09
Speaker 1: was going through what people have said about being under
1:11
Speaker 1: the law, I used a clip from this man, Jim Staley.
1:15
Speaker 1: As I said in the video, I wish that the
1:17
Speaker 1: clip that I had wasn't cut off so I could
1:19
Speaker 1: have heard where he was trying to go. But what
1:21
Speaker 1: he was saying about being under the law was wrong.
1:24
Speaker 1: I don't regret using him to illustrate that, but I
1:27
Speaker 1: do not know of this man. And I assumed based
1:29
Speaker 1: upon his words, that he was a lawless Christian. But
1:32
Speaker 1: I have been told that he is a Christian that
1:34
Speaker 1: keeps the Torah. And with that being the case, I
1:37
Speaker 1: included him in the mix of men like Lawless Solberg,
1:40
Speaker 1: and that was not correct to do. He is not lawless,
1:44
Speaker 1: and he should not have been included in that mixture.
1:46
Speaker 1: And so I want to apologize for that mistake. This
1:49
Speaker 1: is not an endorsement of him. I still don't know
1:50
Speaker 1: much about him, except that he promotes keeping the Torah,
1:53
Speaker 1: but still is under Christianity, which is why he used
1:56
Speaker 1: those words to explain being under the law.
1:58
Speaker 2: I don't know his beliefs.
1:59
Speaker 1: I don't know what he feels about the Rev 2-9s.
2:01
Speaker 1: I see that he still uses the false Greek names.
2:04
Speaker 1: I don't have an opinion. I am happy to know
2:06
Speaker 1: that he's not lawless though. What I know is that
2:09
Speaker 1: it was wrong to put him attached to Solberg. And again,
2:12
Speaker 1: I apologize for that error. For me, I would be
2:14
Speaker 1: deeply bothered if anyone tied me to like a smart
2:16
Speaker 1: Christian so I can understand how that would be taken.
2:19
Speaker 1: So I wanted to make sure that was corrected. With
2:22
Speaker 1: that said, let's move on. As I was saying, the
2:26
Speaker 1: problem is not Paul. The problem is a lack of
2:29
Speaker 1: reading comprehension. Because people have been influenced by liars and
2:33
Speaker 1: false teachers, people are reading Paul through a lawless lens
2:36
Speaker 1: that should not be applied. We have to review the
2:39
Speaker 1: lens that we're reading from and what we're being influenced by.
2:42
Speaker 1: And Christianity has had the overwhelming influence in this world,
2:46
Speaker 1: which is why most people read Paul through this lawless manner.
2:50
Speaker 2: Here's the deal, though.
2:51
Speaker 1: When you read Paul in context, what he's communicating makes
2:54
Speaker 1: a great deal more sense. and the justification of lawlessness
2:57
Speaker 1: is destroyed. The problem is applying Paul in one way,
3:02
Speaker 1: as if every time he's speaking of the law, he's
3:04
Speaker 1: speaking of the law of Moses.
3:05
Speaker 2: Because this is not true.
3:07
Speaker 1: Most of what Paul is referring to when he's referencing
3:10
Speaker 1: the law, particularly in the book of Romans, he is
3:13
Speaker 1: referring to the law of sin and death, because this
3:15
Speaker 1: is what changed and what grace delivered us from. We
3:18
Speaker 1: know that when Paul is referring to the law, we
3:21
Speaker 1: know he's not always referring to the law of Moses,
3:23
Speaker 1: because he clearly shows this in his writing to the
3:25
Speaker 1: Yahudim in Rome. In Romans chapter 8, Paul writes, There
3:29
Speaker 1: is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
3:33
Speaker 1: Messiah Yahusha, who do not walk according to the flesh,
3:36
Speaker 1: but according to the Spirit. For the law of the
3:38
Speaker 1: Spirit of life in Messiah Yahusha has made me free
3:41
Speaker 1: from the law of sin and death. Romans chapter 8
3:44
Speaker 1: verses 1 and 2. So if we care about context,
3:48
Speaker 1: we can clearly see that when Paul is speaking of
3:50
Speaker 1: the law, he is not always referring to the law
3:52
Speaker 1: of Moses, because he is clearly identifying something different in
3:56
Speaker 1: this text. as I explained this in part six. So look,
4:00
Speaker 1: when you're reading the book of Romans, if you read
4:02
Speaker 1: in context of what Paul is actually saying, he is
4:04
Speaker 1: writing and explaining about three laws, the law of sin
4:07
Speaker 1: and death, the law of the spirit of life and Messiah, Yahusha,
4:11
Speaker 1: and the righteous requirements of Yahweh's law. This is what
4:14
Speaker 1: he's referring to because he's explaining what Yahusha delivered us from.
4:18
Speaker 1: And if this is really understood, then perhaps when you
4:20
Speaker 1: read Paul, a lot of confusion that you may have
4:23
Speaker 1: reading him will go away. But this confusion will remain
4:26
Speaker 1: if you don't truly understand what he's referring to when
4:29
Speaker 1: he says the law of sin and death. It is
4:31
Speaker 1: actually a big deal. And so it is right to
4:34
Speaker 1: explain this in the Understanding Torah series because it is
4:36
Speaker 1: fundamental to our faith. So as we close with the
4:39
Speaker 1: objections and the confusions part of this series, we will understand.
4:43
Speaker 2: The law of sin and death. Let's begin.
4:48
Speaker 1: Okay, so the importance of reading Paul is reading his
4:51
Speaker 1: letter from the beginning in context. you must always remember
4:54
Speaker 1: that this is a letter. And to understand a letter,
4:57
Speaker 1: it must be read from the beginning. Most of this
5:00
Speaker 1: letter was pastoral and teaching. And Paul was teaching this
5:03
Speaker 1: faith to both Yahudim and Greek. Now the Greek, they
5:06
Speaker 1: were not the pagans, not the pagan Greeks. They were
5:09
Speaker 1: the scattered Yahudim who assimilated with Greece during the time
5:12
Speaker 1: of Maccabees. But that is a different story. Paul's main
5:16
Speaker 1: point was speaking about living in unity between the Yahudim
5:19
Speaker 1: and the Greek. There is much discussion to this. but
5:23
Speaker 1: he emphasizes a lot about sin. And when you understand
5:26
Speaker 1: when he is speaking about the law, he is not
5:28
Speaker 1: talking about the Torah, but about the law of sin
5:31
Speaker 1: and death. And when you understand this, it will make
5:33
Speaker 1: the book of Romans come alive and it will remove
5:35
Speaker 1: the confusion. But in order to recognize this, you need
5:39
Speaker 1: to understand the law of sin and death, because this
5:41
Speaker 1: is not something that is spoken directly in the Torah,
5:44
Speaker 1: except that we do have different references to it, like
5:47
Speaker 1: in Deuteronomy. In this, Moses writes, See, I have set
5:51
Speaker 1: before you today life and good, death and evil, in
5:54
Speaker 1: that I command you today to love Yahweh your Elohim,
5:57
Speaker 1: to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments,
6:00
Speaker 1: his statutes, and his judgments, that you may live and multiply.
6:04
Speaker 1: And Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in the land
6:07
Speaker 1: which you go to possess. But if your heart turns
6:09
Speaker 1: away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away,
6:12
Speaker 1: and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to
6:15
Speaker 1: you today that you shall surely perish. You shall not
6:18
Speaker 1: prolong your days in the land which you cross over
6:20
Speaker 1: the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven
6:23
Speaker 1: and earth as witnesses today against you that I've set
6:26
Speaker 1: before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose
6:30
Speaker 1: life that both you and your descendants may live, that
6:34
Speaker 1: you may love Yahweh your Elohim, that you may obey
6:36
Speaker 1: his voice and that you may cling to him for
6:39
Speaker 1: he is your life and the length of your days
6:42
Speaker 1: and that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh
6:44
Speaker 1: swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to
6:47
Speaker 1: give them. Deuteronomy chapter 30 verses 15 through 20. If
6:52
Speaker 1: you understand that Yahweh is our life and being with
6:55
Speaker 1: him and clinging to him is the goal of life,
6:57
Speaker 1: you will understand truly what sin and death is. But
7:01
Speaker 1: let's go through it to really understand. I'm going to
7:04
Speaker 1: explain this thoroughly because it's important. When we are speaking
7:07
Speaker 1: of the law of sin and death, we are referencing
7:10
Speaker 1: the original law that was established in the garden. This
7:13
Speaker 1: is just Paul's way of explaining it. Let's first identify death.
7:18
Speaker 1: We take it back to Genesis chapter 2. It says,
7:21
Speaker 1: Then Yahuwah Elohim took the man and put him in
7:23
Speaker 1: the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And
7:26
Speaker 1: Yahuwah Elohim commanded the man saying, Of every tree of
7:29
Speaker 1: the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree
7:32
Speaker 1: of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat.
7:34
Speaker 2: For in the day that you eat of it, you
7:36
Speaker 2: shall surely die.
7:38
Speaker 1: Genesis chapter 2 verses 15 through 17. For in that
7:42
Speaker 1: day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.
7:45
Speaker 1: You see, Yahuwah warns Adam of death. And did Adam
7:48
Speaker 1: listen to Yahuwah? No, he did not. And what did
7:52
Speaker 1: Yahuwah do? Yahuwah cursed him. It says, Then to Adam
7:56
Speaker 1: he said, Because you have heeded the voice of your
7:58
Speaker 1: wife and have eaten from the tree of which I
8:01
Speaker 1: commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it. Cursed
8:04
Speaker 1: is the ground for your sake, and toil you shall
8:06
Speaker 1: eat of it all the days of your life. Both
8:09
Speaker 1: thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and
8:11
Speaker 1: you shall eat the herb of the field. In the
8:14
Speaker 1: sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you
8:16
Speaker 1: return to the ground. For out of it you are taken,
8:19
Speaker 1: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.
8:23
Speaker 1: Genesis chapter 3 verses 17 through 19. So Adam would
8:27
Speaker 1: not live forever. The reason for people not understanding Paul
8:31
Speaker 1: is that they don't understand this subject. Everyone uses Paul
8:35
Speaker 1: to speak against the law of Moses. But if you
8:37
Speaker 1: truly understood Paul's foundation, particularly as a Pharisee, and what
8:42
Speaker 1: his focus is mostly on, you will understand what he's
8:45
Speaker 1: speaking of. Paul was focused on the resurrection and he
8:50
Speaker 1: saw how Yahushua brought the fulfillment of this promise of
8:53
Speaker 1: resurrection that they always had focused on. Always understand when
8:57
Speaker 1: reading Paul that he was a Pharisee and the Pharisees
9:00
Speaker 1: were very much about the resurrection. Paul was not out
9:04
Speaker 1: here just teaching people to reject the Torah. When all
9:07
Speaker 1: these Christians are using Paul to explain how he's telling
9:09
Speaker 1: them to not keep the Torah, this is just men
9:11
Speaker 1: and women who don't have a clue about the Torah
9:14
Speaker 1: and nor do they understand anything about Paul or the Pharisees.
9:18
Speaker 1: Because Paul himself, he explains his whole premise about what
9:22
Speaker 1: he's being accused of and judged against. And if you
9:25
Speaker 1: understand all of this and put it together, when you're
9:28
Speaker 1: reading Paul, all of a sudden the confusion will go away.
9:31
Speaker 1: Hence why Peter says Paul's writings are hard to understand.
9:35
Speaker 1: Just listen to how Paul defended himself. This is in
9:38
Speaker 1: Acts chapter 23. But when Paul perceived that one part
9:42
Speaker 1: was Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in
9:45
Speaker 1: the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the
9:48
Speaker 1: son of a Pharisee. Concerning the hope and resurrection of
9:52
Speaker 1: the dead, I am being judged. And when he had
9:55
Speaker 1: said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees,
9:58
Speaker 1: and the assembly was divided. For Pharisees say, There is
10:02
Speaker 1: no resurrection, and no angel or spirit. But the Pharisees
10:05
Speaker 1: confessed both. Then arose a loud outcry, and the scribes
10:10
Speaker 1: of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, We find
10:14
Speaker 1: no evil in this man, but if a spirit or
10:16
Speaker 1: an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight
10:19
Speaker 1: against Elohim. Acts chapter 23, verses six through nine. Do
10:23
Speaker 1: you understand this? Paul was being accused and he did
10:27
Speaker 1: not say that he was being accused because he was
10:29
Speaker 1: teaching people to not keep the Torah, but he understood
10:32
Speaker 1: what he was teaching and he knew he was being
10:34
Speaker 1: persecuted because of the hope and resurrection of the dead,
10:37
Speaker 1: which is what he was teaching about. Hence, why the Pharisees,
10:41
Speaker 1: who coincidentally were strict Torah keepers, they protested that they
10:45
Speaker 1: found no evil in him. If Paul was speaking against
10:49
Speaker 1: keeping the commandments Do you expect that the Pharisees will
10:52
Speaker 1: be speaking that they found no evil in him? These
10:55
Speaker 1: are the same people that just crucified the Messiah for
10:58
Speaker 1: an accusation against the Torah. What Paul was speaking about
11:02
Speaker 1: was in regards to the hope of the resurrection of
11:04
Speaker 1: the dead. This is what he spoke about many times,
11:07
Speaker 1: like right here. Now, if Messiah is preached that he
11:10
Speaker 1: has been raised from the dead, how do some among
11:12
Speaker 1: you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
11:15
Speaker 1: First Corinthians chapter 15, verse 12. I mean, you have
11:18
Speaker 1: to understand this was always on his mind and what
11:20
Speaker 1: he speaks on so much. Understand the Pharisees belief in
11:24
Speaker 1: the resurrection was rooted in their interpretation of the Hebrew
11:28
Speaker 1: scriptures and their understanding of Yahweh's justice.
11:31
Speaker 2: And covenant promises.
11:32
Speaker 1: They believe that the resurrection was a future event when
11:35
Speaker 1: the righteous will be raised to eternal life. A hope
11:38
Speaker 1: that provided comfort and motivation for living a life in
11:41
Speaker 1: accordance with Yahweh's commandments. So if you go into Paul's
11:45
Speaker 1: letters and understand that through his understanding of Yahusha and
11:48
Speaker 1: what he does for us, he has been communicating to
11:51
Speaker 1: us how to be free from the curse of the law.
11:54
Speaker 1: And if you understand this, then you will understand Paul
11:56
Speaker 1: extremely better. It's all about the resurrection. And that's why
12:01
Speaker 1: I love how Yahuwah allowed Paul's writing to be included
12:03
Speaker 1: in the scriptures. Because Paul is spot on with what
12:06
Speaker 1: he is speaking of. But because people are not truly studied,
12:09
Speaker 1: they use him falsely testifying against themselves. And some of
12:13
Speaker 1: these people that are speaking against Paul being a false
12:15
Speaker 1: prophet or a false apostle, they also don't understand a
12:18
Speaker 1: thing about what Paul is explaining because it's over their head.
12:21
Speaker 1: If you understand that the resurrection is a major focus
12:24
Speaker 1: on Paul, then you will understand his letters. It's all
12:27
Speaker 1: about the resurrection. Do you remember when the Sadducees spoke
12:31
Speaker 1: about the resurrection to Yahushua? We can find it in
12:33
Speaker 1: Matthew chapter 22. It says, The same day the Sadducees,
12:38
Speaker 1: who say there is no resurrection, came to him and
12:40
Speaker 1: asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses said that if a man
12:44
Speaker 1: dies having no children, his brother shall marry his wife
12:47
Speaker 1: and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were
12:50
Speaker 1: with us seven brothers. The first died after he had
12:54
Speaker 1: married and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. Likewise,
12:58
Speaker 1: the second also and the third, even to the seventh.
13:02
Speaker 1: Last of all, the women died also. Therefore, in the resurrection,
13:06
Speaker 1: whose wife of the seven will she be? For they
13:09
Speaker 1: all had her. Yahushua answered and said to them, You
13:13
Speaker 1: are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of Elohim.
13:17
Speaker 1: For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given
13:20
Speaker 1: in marriage, but are like angels of Elohim in heaven.
13:23
Speaker 1: But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not
13:26
Speaker 1: read what was spoken to you by Elohim, saying, I
13:29
Speaker 1: am the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and
13:32
Speaker 1: the Elohim of Jacob? Elohim is not the Elohim of
13:35
Speaker 1: the dead, but of the living. And when the multitudes
13:38
Speaker 1: heard this, they were astonished at his teaching. Matthew chapter
13:41
Speaker 1: 22 verses 23 through 33. This is why so many
13:45
Speaker 1: people are mistaken about the kingdom to come. These things
13:48
Speaker 1: really go past people's head because the Christian church has
13:50
Speaker 1: never been preparing people for the true kingdom. And so
13:53
Speaker 1: being that there are all over the place, people aren't
13:56
Speaker 1: really understanding what Yahusha means here. Yahuwah is not the
13:59
Speaker 1: Elohim of the dead. And this subject about the law
14:02
Speaker 1: of sin and death is crucial to understand. By understanding it,
14:06
Speaker 1: you will understand why Yahusha was saying here, if you
14:09
Speaker 1: still don't get it. So let's be very simple about it.
14:13
Speaker 1: Death is the curse. Adam and Eve, they were not
14:16
Speaker 1: meant to die. They were meant to live. They had
14:19
Speaker 1: the tree of life in their midst. The tree of
14:22
Speaker 1: life provided healing. This is why they were removed out
14:25
Speaker 1: of the garden away from the tree. As it says,
14:28
Speaker 1: the Yahuwah Elohim said, Behold, the man has become like
14:32
Speaker 1: one of us to know good and evil. And now
14:35
Speaker 1: lest he put out his hand and take also of
14:37
Speaker 1: the tree of life and eat and live forever. Therefore,
14:41
Speaker 1: Yahweh Elohim sent him out of the garden of Eden
14:44
Speaker 1: to till the ground from which he was taken. So
14:46
Speaker 1: he drove out the man and he placed cherubim at
14:49
Speaker 1: the east of the garden of Eden and a flaming sword,
14:51
Speaker 1: which turned every way to guard the way to the
14:54
Speaker 1: tree of life. Genesis chapter three, verses 22 through 24.
14:59
Speaker 1: He kept them away from the tree of life because
15:01
Speaker 1: if you eat it, you live forever. Adam was in
15:04
Speaker 1: the midst of this garden where he could have ate
15:06
Speaker 1: from the tree of life. He was meant to live forever.
15:09
Speaker 1: But we also know this about the tree of life
15:11
Speaker 1: because of the last chapter of Revelation. As it says,
15:14
Speaker 1: And he showed me a pure river of water of life,
15:17
Speaker 1: clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of Elohim and
15:20
Speaker 1: of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. And
15:23
Speaker 1: on either side of the river was the tree of life,
15:25
Speaker 1: which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month.
15:30
Speaker 1: The leaves of the tree were for the healing of
15:32
Speaker 1: the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but
15:35
Speaker 1: the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be
15:38
Speaker 1: in it. and his servants shall serve him. Revelation chapter 22,
15:41
Speaker 1: verses one through three. Do you see the tree of
15:44
Speaker 1: life provided healing of the nations? But look what it
15:48
Speaker 1: says after. It says, there shall be no more curse. Understand,
15:54
Speaker 1: death is the curse. Death is the curse of the
15:57
Speaker 1: law of sin and death. Death is the curse that
16:00
Speaker 1: is brought upon man because of Adam's sin, which is
16:04
Speaker 1: why Paul says, Yahushua redeemed us from the curse of
16:07
Speaker 1: the law. As it says, Messiah has redeemed us from
16:10
Speaker 1: the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.
16:13
Speaker 1: For it is written, curse is everyone who hangs on
16:16
Speaker 1: a tree. Galatians chapter 3 verse 13. Death is the
16:21
Speaker 1: curse of the law, and Yahusha has redeemed us from
16:23
Speaker 1: this curse. So take these two things together and let's
16:26
Speaker 1: put it together. First part of the equation, Adam disobeyed Yahuwah.
16:31
Speaker 1: Yahuwah commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of
16:33
Speaker 1: knowledge of good and evil, and Adam disobeyed and did
16:36
Speaker 1: this anyway. As it says, then to Adam, he said,
16:40
Speaker 1: because you have heeded the voice of your wife and
16:42
Speaker 1: have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you saying,
16:45
Speaker 1: you shall not eat of it. Genesis chapter three, verse 17.
16:49
Speaker 1: This right here is sin, not obeying Yahuwah. Second part,
16:54
Speaker 1: because of this sin, it brought death. Adam was no
16:57
Speaker 1: longer able to live forever in the garden. He was
17:00
Speaker 1: separated from Yahuwah and his life had an expiration.
17:04
Speaker 2: He died.
17:06
Speaker 1: When you combine these two things, This is what the
17:08
Speaker 1: law of sin and death is. The law of sin
17:11
Speaker 1: and death. Because Adam disobeyed Yahuwah, he was cursed with death.
17:16
Speaker 1: This is the most simplest explanation of the law of
17:18
Speaker 1: sin and death. And this curse has been put on
17:22
Speaker 1: all of humanity because all of humanity descends from Adam
17:26
Speaker 1: and Eve. And if you understand this, then you will
17:28
Speaker 1: understand what Paul is speaking about because when he's writing
17:31
Speaker 1: the book of Romans, this is entirely what he's speaking of.
17:35
Speaker 1: And the thing is that When reading it, you probably
17:37
Speaker 1: really won't understand it until you really get to like
17:38
Speaker 1: chapter 5 when Paul explains his premise. As Paul explains, Therefore,
17:44
Speaker 1: just as through one man sin entered the world, and
17:47
Speaker 1: death through sin, and thus death spread to all men
17:51
Speaker 1: because all sinned. For until the law, sin was in
17:55
Speaker 1: the world, but sin is not imputed when there is
17:57
Speaker 1: no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
18:02
Speaker 1: over those who had not sinned, according to the likeness
18:05
Speaker 1: of the transgression of Adam, who was a type of
18:08
Speaker 1: him who was to come. But the free gift is
18:11
Speaker 1: not like the offense. For if by the one man's
18:14
Speaker 1: offense many died, much more the grace of Elohim and
18:17
Speaker 1: the gift by grace of the one man, Yahushua the Messiah,
18:20
Speaker 1: abounded to many. Romans chapter 5, verses 12 through 15.
18:25
Speaker 1: You see, Paul, he's just a deep brother, and he's
18:27
Speaker 1: speaking a college-level understanding. And the problem is, the people
18:30
Speaker 1: reading today haven't even made it out of the first grade.
18:33
Speaker 1: but they're trying to explain what this college professor is saying.
18:36
Speaker 1: That's what this is all likened to. But let's go
18:38
Speaker 1: through each verse. Verse 12. Therefore, just as through one
18:43
Speaker 1: man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and
18:46
Speaker 1: thus death spread to all men because all sinned.
18:51
Speaker 2: He starts off with.
18:52
Speaker 1: Saying that through Adam, sin entered the world. And you
18:55
Speaker 1: see the consequence of Adam's sin was death. Death was
18:59
Speaker 1: the curse. Adam received death through his sin. And because
19:03
Speaker 1: of Adam's sin, death has spread to all men because
19:07
Speaker 1: all who come through Adam are all under his sin.
19:10
Speaker 2: And now all sinned.
19:12
Speaker 1: We are all under the law of sin and death
19:14
Speaker 1: because of Adam. This is what verse 12 is saying. 13.
19:19
Speaker 1: For until the law, sin was in the world. But
19:22
Speaker 1: sin is not imputed when there is no law. So
19:25
Speaker 1: in this, Paul is referring to.
19:27
Speaker 2: The law of Moses.
19:28
Speaker 1: Because when we now get to the law of Moses,
19:30
Speaker 1: sin was now known in the world. As John writes,
19:34
Speaker 1: When he says sin is not imputed, it means attributed
19:36
Speaker 1: or assigned. Sin is not assigned when there is 1
19:41
Speaker 1: John chapter 3 verse 4. When he says sin is
19:44
Speaker 1: not imputed, it means attributed or assigned.
19:48
Speaker 2: Sin is not assigned when there is no law to
19:50
Speaker 2: attribute it to.
19:52
Speaker 1: So you don't really know you're doing something wrong until
19:54
Speaker 1: he's giving you a law to say this is wrong.
19:57
Speaker 1: So when Yahweh explained what he wanted from man, this
20:00
Speaker 1: is what righteousness is, now we all know what sin
20:03
Speaker 1: clearly is to him. And now you're transgressing or just
20:06
Speaker 1: not obeying what he has said. But in the next verse, Paul,
20:10
Speaker 1: he clarifies his main point. Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam
20:15
Speaker 1: to Moses, even over those who had not sinned, according
20:19
Speaker 1: to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is
20:21
Speaker 1: a type of him who was to come. Romans chapter
20:25
Speaker 1: 5 verse 14. Sin was present in the world from
20:29
Speaker 1: Adam to Moses, but Yahweh did not keep an account
20:32
Speaker 1: of sins before giving the law because there was no
20:34
Speaker 1: law to obey or disobey.
20:37
Speaker 2: Death reigned over everyone. Even those who had not sinned,
20:41
Speaker 2: death reigned over them. All sinned.
20:44
Speaker 1: And verse 15, But the free gift is not like
20:47
Speaker 1: the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died,
20:51
Speaker 1: much more the grace of Elohim and the gift by
20:54
Speaker 1: the grace of the one man, Yahushua the Messiah, abounded
20:57
Speaker 1: to many. Again, understand, through one man's sin, this one
21:01
Speaker 1: man being Adam, many have been cursed with his punishment
21:05
Speaker 1: of death.
21:07
Speaker 2: Paul contrasts and shows that by the.
21:09
Speaker 1: Gift of grace from Yahuwah, by this one man who
21:12
Speaker 1: is Yahusha, he is now who redeems us from this curse.
21:17
Speaker 1: Let's keep reading just a little bit more of.
21:20
Speaker 2: It.
21:21
Speaker 1: 16 to 17. And the gift is not like that
21:24
Speaker 1: which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment
21:26
Speaker 1: which came from one offense resulted in condemnation. But the
21:30
Speaker 1: free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
21:35
Speaker 1: For if by the one man's offense death reigned, Through
21:38
Speaker 1: the one, much more of those who receive abundance of
21:41
Speaker 1: grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in
21:44
Speaker 1: life through the one, Yahushua the Messiah.
21:48
Speaker 2: Romans chapter 5 verses 16 and 17.
21:50
Speaker 1: It's brothers deep. He's saying through Adam came condemnation. Through
21:55
Speaker 1: faith in Yahushua, we are provided justification, forgiveness of sins.
22:00
Speaker 1: The biggest of this justification is the redemption from the
22:03
Speaker 1: law of sin and death.
22:05
Speaker 2: This is what Yahushua provides. This is what he frees
22:07
Speaker 2: us from.
22:09
Speaker 1: So look, if you just finish this chapter, chapter 5,
22:11
Speaker 1: he just continues to break this all down. And if
22:13
Speaker 1: you go to the next chapter, you see that he
22:15
Speaker 1: starts referring to the resurrection. And if you keep reading it,
22:18
Speaker 1: you follow it to chapter 8, he breaks down exactly
22:21
Speaker 1: what he's referring to in regards to the law of
22:23
Speaker 1: sin and death. Mind you, when we say the law
22:25
Speaker 1: of sin and death, this is Paul's explanation. He's making this.
22:29
Speaker 1: This is how he has phrased it all. We'll read
22:31
Speaker 1: these first few verses from chapter 8. There is therefore
22:35
Speaker 1: now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yahushua,
22:39
Speaker 1: who do not walk according to the flesh, but according
22:42
Speaker 1: to the spirit.
22:43
Speaker 2: For the law of the.
22:44
Speaker 1: Spirit of life and Messiah Yahushua has made me free
22:47
Speaker 1: from the law of sin and death.
22:50
Speaker 2: For what the law could.
22:50
Speaker 1: Not do in that it was weak through the flesh,
22:53
Speaker 1: Elohim did by sending his own son in the likeness
22:57
Speaker 1: of sinful flesh on account of sin. He condemned sin
23:01
Speaker 1: in the flesh that the righteous requirement of the law
23:03
Speaker 1: might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according
23:06
Speaker 1: to the flesh, but according to the spirit. Romans chapter eight,
23:10
Speaker 1: verses one through four. And you see this right here,
23:13
Speaker 1: this right here is the summary of it all. And
23:16
Speaker 1: if you understand this, you will understand Yahusha better. Christians,
23:19
Speaker 1: they don't really understand because they believe Messiah freed them
23:22
Speaker 1: from the law of Moses.
23:23
Speaker 2: And that's just ridiculous.
23:25
Speaker 1: We are freed from how we are justified through the
23:27
Speaker 1: law of Moses, which is the sin and the trespass
23:30
Speaker 1: offerings through the Levitical priesthood.
23:32
Speaker 2: We are no longer under this.
23:34
Speaker 1: But Yahusha does not give us the authority to reject
23:36
Speaker 1: the ways of Yahuwah.
23:37
Speaker 2: To not keep his ways of righteousness. That's absolutely ridiculous.
23:41
Speaker 1: And sadly, there will be billions of people who will
23:44
Speaker 1: be rejected and hear that I never knew you because
23:47
Speaker 1: they believe Yahusha freed them from keeping the Torah and
23:50
Speaker 1: keeping the righteousness of Yahuwah.
23:51
Speaker 2: It's absolutely madness.
23:54
Speaker 1: Yahusha freed you from the sin and trespass offerings and
23:57
Speaker 1: he freed you from the law of sin and death.
24:00
Speaker 1: As verse one says, there is therefore now no condemnation
24:04
Speaker 1: to those who are in Messiah Yahusha who do not
24:07
Speaker 1: walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
24:10
Speaker 2: That's verse 1.
24:11
Speaker 1: As I explained in part 6, when understanding what Paul
24:14
Speaker 1: means by flesh, understand Paul often used the word to
24:18
Speaker 1: indicate the entire fallen human being, not just the sinful
24:22
Speaker 1: human body, but the entire being, including the soul and mind,
24:26
Speaker 1: as being affected by sin. So when he says those
24:29
Speaker 1: who are in Messiah Yahushua do not walk according to
24:32
Speaker 1: the flesh, he is speaking of not walking in sin,
24:35
Speaker 1: but walking according to the spirit. This is the way
24:39
Speaker 1: of Yahuwah, his righteousness.
24:41
Speaker 2: This is how you walk in it. And understand, he
24:43
Speaker 2: clarifies this though, as we keep reading.
24:46
Speaker 1: Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life
24:49
Speaker 1: and Messiah Yahusha has made me free from the law
24:52
Speaker 1: of sin and death.
24:54
Speaker 2: And here he goes with the clarifying. The law of the.
24:57
Speaker 1: Spirit of life and Messiah Yahusha has made us free
25:00
Speaker 1: from the law of sin and death. Through Yahushua, we
25:04
Speaker 1: are no longer under the law of sin and death.
25:06
Speaker 1: We are not under the law. Here's verse three. For
25:10
Speaker 1: what the law could not do in that it was
25:12
Speaker 1: weak through the flesh, Elohim did by sending his own
25:16
Speaker 1: son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin.
25:20
Speaker 1: He condemned sin in the flesh. And if you understand,
25:24
Speaker 1: this is what we're told in Hebrews. What the law
25:26
Speaker 1: could not do, Yahweh took care of by sending his son.
25:29
Speaker 1: We went over this in part five using Hebrews. Hebrews
25:33
Speaker 1: 9 says, For if the blood of bulls and goats
25:35
Speaker 1: and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies
25:39
Speaker 1: for the puring of the flesh, how much more shall
25:41
Speaker 1: the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered
25:45
Speaker 1: himself without spot to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead
25:49
Speaker 1: works to serve the living Elohim? That's Hebrews 9, verses
25:52
Speaker 1: 13 and 14. He's pointing out that these ceremonies could
25:55
Speaker 1: only purify a person's exterior, the flesh, but not purify
25:59
Speaker 1: a person's heart. And verse 14 explains, how much more
26:03
Speaker 1: the blood of Messiah can do for the atonement. Yahusha's
26:06
Speaker 1: sacrifice not only cleansed the flesh like the old covenant did,
26:09
Speaker 1: but it has the power to purify a person's mind
26:12
Speaker 1: and soul. That's why Yahusha being our atonement is so powerful.
26:16
Speaker 1: And you see, this is what brought confusion for some
26:18
Speaker 1: last week. When I explained about how Yahusha said that
26:21
Speaker 1: no one is good but Elohim. Paul said Elohim did
26:25
Speaker 1: by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful
26:28
Speaker 1: flesh on account of sin. He condemned sin in the flesh.
26:32
Speaker 1: People got confused by this. Please understand this clearly that
26:35
Speaker 1: Yahusha never sinned. He was sinless. But Yahusha was sent
26:39
Speaker 1: in the flesh. He came through the law of sin
26:42
Speaker 1: and death. He came in the likeness of sinful flesh
26:46
Speaker 1: on account of sin. Coming in as a man, he
26:49
Speaker 1: came as being one that comes through the sin of Adam.
26:53
Speaker 1: This is the sin of Adam that is upon all mankind.
26:56
Speaker 1: You cannot remove yourself from it. Yahusha could not. It
26:59
Speaker 1: was actually the reason that he came. He came through
27:03
Speaker 1: our sinful flesh that was corrupted from Adam and he
27:06
Speaker 1: bore our sin. He lived righteously and was unjustly punished
27:10
Speaker 1: just so that he could condemn the sin of Adam
27:13
Speaker 1: and make us now righteous to Yahuwah.
27:16
Speaker 2: This is what he did for us.
27:17
Speaker 1: So when he said that no one is good but Elohim,
27:20
Speaker 1: he is saying this because he came through sinful flesh.
27:24
Speaker 1: He came through the law of sin and death and
27:26
Speaker 1: through his sacrifice condemned sin and the flesh.
27:30
Speaker 2: Verse 4 says.
27:32
Speaker 1: That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled
27:34
Speaker 1: in us who do not walk according to the flesh,
27:37
Speaker 1: but according to the spirit. So through Yahushua condemning sin
27:41
Speaker 1: in the flesh, he allows us to fulfill the righteous
27:43
Speaker 1: requirement of the law. This is literally the exact opposite
27:48
Speaker 1: of not keeping the Torah. Through Yahushua, he helps us
27:51
Speaker 1: fulfill this righteousness as long as we walk according to
27:54
Speaker 1: the spirit and not our sinful flesh. The spirit will
27:58
Speaker 1: want you to walk in Yahweh's righteousness to do what
28:01
Speaker 1: is right by Yahweh.
28:02
Speaker 2: This is the purpose.
28:05
Speaker 1: In this letter, Paul is referring to the law of
28:07
Speaker 1: sin and death many times when we see the law
28:10
Speaker 1: being mentioned. You have to understand all these many verses
28:13
Speaker 1: that people use from Paul to justify that they're not
28:15
Speaker 1: going to keep the law. They are using him out
28:18
Speaker 1: of context because they don't truly understand the gospel. The
28:21
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is there are way too many
28:23
Speaker 1: people out here teaching what they do not truly understand.
28:26
Speaker 1: For anyone who says that they're not under the law,
28:29
Speaker 1: and so they use this as a justification for not
28:31
Speaker 1: keeping the Torah, they.
28:32
Speaker 2: Are literally saying three things.
28:35
Speaker 1: They are saying they don't understand the new covenant, they
28:37
Speaker 1: don't understand the Torah that they don't want to keep,
28:40
Speaker 1: and they don't understand what Paul is talking about at all.
28:43
Speaker 2: They're saying all this all at once.
28:46
Speaker 1: This statement from Paul should never be used to justify
28:49
Speaker 1: not keeping the Torah. And so when anybody ever says
28:52
Speaker 1: that they're not under the law, make sure you explain
28:54
Speaker 1: that they are not under the law of sin and death.
28:57
Speaker 1: This is not about not being under the law of
28:59
Speaker 1: keeping Yahweh's ways of righteousness. This is what Yahweh desires
29:02
Speaker 1: from you. In this letter in Romans, Paul is explaining
29:06
Speaker 1: how Yahusha defeated sin and death that was brought through
29:08
Speaker 1: the sin of Adam. And because of Yahusha, you are
29:12
Speaker 1: now not under the law of sin and death. You
29:14
Speaker 1: are given power to walk and be led by the spirit.
29:18
Speaker 1: Your heart is transformed and you can be truly led
29:20
Speaker 1: by Yahweh and fulfill his righteousness. And you are not
29:24
Speaker 1: held to death as all men are. As Yahushua said,
29:28
Speaker 1: Yahuwah is Elohim of the living. But you are not
29:32
Speaker 1: under the law of death. Regardless if you are alive today,
29:35
Speaker 1: gone tomorrow, you are promised to be a part of
29:38
Speaker 1: the resurrection and live in peace. and joy and live
29:41
Speaker 1: forever blessed in the renewed earth that comes as we
29:45
Speaker 1: live amongst the tree of life you are not under
29:48
Speaker 1: the law.
29:48
Speaker 2: Of sin and death.
29:51
Speaker 1: Understand Paul uses a lot of words and he's very
29:54
Speaker 1: complicated and I love that because it truly exposes the
29:57
Speaker 1: wheat and the tares I've learned to not fight about
30:00
Speaker 1: Paul because people are just fighting for a false religion
30:03
Speaker 1: because they do not truly know Yahuwah and what he
30:05
Speaker 1: desires for us. So when they live in these falsehoods,
30:08
Speaker 1: they just expose themselves. And at this point, it is
30:10
Speaker 1: what it is. If you understood Yahuwah, if you started
30:13
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the word and truly desire to
30:16
Speaker 1: know Yahuwah and what he stands for, there's no way
30:18
Speaker 1: that you could ever feel and justify that he does
30:20
Speaker 1: not want you to keep his Torah, that he does
30:22
Speaker 1: not want you to stay in his righteousness.
30:24
Speaker 2: This is what he has always required. So people that use.
30:27
Speaker 1: Him to justify lawlessness, If they are stuck on it
30:30
Speaker 1: and they want to defend it to the end, I
30:32
Speaker 1: leave them be because they do not love Yahuwah.
30:35
Speaker 2: And they're just using excuses that they have heard to justify.
30:38
Speaker 1: Their lawlessness and that is on them. So let's close
30:41
Speaker 1: this all up. Again, what is the law of sin
30:44
Speaker 1: and death? Because Adam disobeyed Yahuwah, he was cursed with death.
30:49
Speaker 1: Death is the curse of the law. And for us,
30:53
Speaker 1: the only way to be free from this curse is
30:55
Speaker 1: through faith in Yahushua as our kinsman redeemer. When you
30:59
Speaker 1: read Paul, you have to truly understand what he's speaking about.
31:03
Speaker 1: And over the last four parts, we have thoroughly went
31:05
Speaker 1: through all of the objections. Throughout the way, people have
31:07
Speaker 1: tried to interject between the different parts to push their indoctrination.
31:11
Speaker 2: But at this time that we're in, I truly, I
31:13
Speaker 2: don't have time for it.
31:14
Speaker 1: If you truly care about the word, please review all
31:17
Speaker 1: of what has been put out and try to understand
31:19
Speaker 1: what is being taught here. Justifying lawlessness through Paul shows
31:23
Speaker 1: that you are attached to tears. If you care about
31:25
Speaker 1: your soul, you should repent and turn to Yahweh and
31:28
Speaker 1: his truth. you don't have much more time left in this.
31:31
Speaker 1: Stop trying to defend what you're taught in religion. I've
31:33
Speaker 1: thoroughly explained most of these common objections people have for
31:37
Speaker 1: not keeping the Torah. And if you have listened to understand,
31:39
Speaker 1: you will see that the objections people have used, they're
31:42
Speaker 1: just to push their belief because they don't want to
31:44
Speaker 1: keep our father's word.
31:45
Speaker 2: They will be held accountable for this.
31:47
Speaker 1: And I went through this thoroughly so that there was
31:48
Speaker 1: a strong explanation for anyone who says they are confused.
31:52
Speaker 1: And this last topic of the law and sin and
31:54
Speaker 1: death is like the final boss because Christians use what
31:57
Speaker 1: Paul's referring to in the law of sin and death,
31:59
Speaker 1: and they use it to justify the rejection of the
32:02
Speaker 1: Torah and say they're not under the law. It is sad,
32:05
Speaker 1: and I truly warn you, truly warn you from following this.
