Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
.
Joh 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
.
Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
.
Joh 8:58 Yahushua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
The Truth = Spirit and Torah Truth = Yahushua the Son = The Life of his Being = The Living Word by which Abraham had faith = The One who is the I AM being all things and the Light of all Mankind.
To keep his saying, to keep the Torah Truth is to keep the Son, Yahushua, of faith that comes by that Living Word who is the Passover Lamb given for remission of sin for his remission comes by being that perfect Torah/"Law" of his heart.
Yahushua makes one totally free by his Life that is in his Blood given of his Torah of his Life. That Spirit and Torah Truth is the OIL burning brightly of the Light to see him by.
What 5 virgins wander in darkness not having the Spirit burning of that Oil that is the Truth to know Yahushua the Living Word by? Trying to find it with lamps that are not burning? And what 5 virgins are seeing an awesome savior by that Light coming from the burning of that Spirit and Truth of that Torah Oil?
What authority of Romans chapter 13 would one be found resisting if not the ordinances and commandments of YHVH to find that Passover Lamb whose blood was shed from the foundation of the world for remission of sin?
Whoever so resist that authority being evil or acknowledge and observe that authority being good, of YHVH, will receive a just reward. Applies to every person who has breath of life in them whether they be a civil servant, or governmental leader or a common civilian. So to stand against evil and to stand for good is the heart of those who are in the kingdom of YHVH and under his authority. In all situations of this life.
To find that the Truth of the Spirit is all in the Son, Yahushua to put on his righteousness and to have that Torah Keeping that is a true witness of him, to have his Spirit and Truth dwelling in the heart of his wisdom and of his authority.
Then what Torah/"Law" is dwelling inside and "written upon the heart" by that Holy Spirit of the blood flow of that Life in the Blood put upon the altar of the heart of the Living Temple of his people?
Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith YHVH, I will put my Torah/law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.
So what did Paul witness of and contrast in all of his writings?
That written Torah keeping vs. keeping that Living Torah written into the heart.
Which one is better?
Written Torah keeping by following the letter of the Torah/law?
Living Torah keeping by following that Holy Spirit and Truth of the heart?
One way for bondage.
One way for freedom from condemnation where the curse of the Torah/Law is done away while experiencing the very heart of Torah in a personal way.
In Yahushua we have both the Spirit and Truth of the full Torah to every 'jot' and every 'tittle' so that in learning of that Torah we are made one/Echad with, and in our doings all for learning of and to truly know him as one, it is all for a witness of him and what he has already done for perfect righteousness. Seeing more of how man is incapable of fulfilling those things and the need for Yahushua to know more fully that mercy and love that is flowing from his throne. Free from the curse in that those following that Spirit of YHVH do not perfect Torah by doing but find that sin of imperfection needing remisson by that Life in the Blood, but have that better way to lift up that one who is that great Light by which we live and move and have our being.
So, Paul, a Torah expert of private interpretations in the beginning, did he then learn of what Torah was truly witnessing of, to find that Yahushua intrepretation of being Echad/one, and can we see what he did? Yes! and more awesome! is it to know our Yahushua by and for none other reason but by Spirit and by that Torah Truth where the 'AND' cannot be done away.
For Ephraim/Joseph (seen by this blindness):
The "Law"/Torah was never done away. It is in full effect but is more awesome and only spiritually understood in that the Messiah is being every 'jot' and 'tittle' of it. He was nailed to the execution stake to become a curse for his people, but then to be able to give of his Life in his Blood for the remission of sin. The curse was done away, not the Torah/"Law". To have salvation by total faith that comes by the Living Word! To then learn of Torah/"Law" to know Messiah not to replace him with a private interpretation.
For Judah (seen by this blindness):
The Messiah did come 2000 years ago as the Living "Law"/Torah of his Being of his heart. The Torah is still in full effect but not in the letter of the "Law", it is in the Living Messiah whose blood was shed as the Passover Lamb for remission of sin. The Messiah at the right hand of YHVH even now is the one Being all of those things witnessed of. To have salvation by total faith that comes by the Living Word! To then learn of Torah/"Law" to know Messiah not to replace him with a private interpretation.
For those made into one stick, not called by worldly nations any longer but are called the children of the most high who have come out of "her", even those growing along with the tares, that Yisrael made of being washed in the blood of Messiah, can truly come out of religions and find a Living Being Messiah of Spirit and Truth. Spirit that Ephraim/Joseph loves and Truth that Judah loves go together and cannot be separated and is made whole in one stick of Messiah.
Now, those growing up in this generation who have been healed, born again yes, but then healed of their blindness in this time when it was given for it to occur as prophecy from old is happening but for those who know what those things are and who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
