Book of Romans Twisted by Christian Translators

In an effort to abolish The Law; The Book of Romans along with the rest of Sha’ul’s letters were intentionally mistranslated by the Greeks to make it “appear” as if Sha’ul taught against The Law.

2 Peter 3
Sha'ul writes the same way in The Mystery Language in all his letters, speaking in letters of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people (Greeks) twist, as they do the other Scriptures (they twist every other book and author's writings too), to their own destruction.

In all of Sha’ul’s writings but especially Romans and Galatians the translators failed to distinguish when Sha’ul was talking about “the Law of the land” and when Sha’ul was referring to The Law of Yahuah!

Below I summarized from my book The Law and the Pauline Doctrine where I discredit The Pauline Doctrine of the Christian Church point by point.

The “Law of the land” (in Sha’ul’s day) was the oral traditions of the Pharisees, the same foundation of Rabbinical Judaism today. The 6,200 page Babylonian Talmud. When Sha’ul was speaking against oral tradition, he would just use the word “nomos”.  The word “nomos” or just “law” is any law whatsoever or the law of the land.

Nomoß - Strong's Number: 3551

anything established, anything received by usage, a custom, a law, a command, of any law whatsoever

When speaking of The Law of Yahuah, the Apostle Sha’ul used the Greek phrase “ho nomos”. We see above that “nomos” without the article “ho” is not referring specifically to The Law of Yahuah, but to “any law whatsoever” or law of the land which was the traditions of the Pharisees in first century Israel.

This vital distinction was not translated properly in our English Bibles leading to what is called The Pauline Doctrine. Therefore, many times when Sha’ul is speaking against the Takkanots (man-made commands) or Talmud (oral traditions), it is mistranslated as The Law instead of “law of the land” and we are taught he is speaking against The Law of Yahuah. When in fact he was speaking against human laws and commands of that day the same way Yahusha confronted the Pharisees. The translators literally went in and added the article “ho” in front of every instance of “nomos” when speaking of the law of the land, twisting the meaning of the text.

Romans chapter 3 is a prime example of twisting Scripture and bearing false witness against the Apostle Sha’ul (by the Greek inspired Christian Church).  In the verses below Sha’ul did not use the article “the” where I underline it; “the” was added by pagan translators and not indicated with italics in our English Bibles (as all added words are supposed to be indicated) to do away with The Law:

Romans 3:20
20 Therefore by the works of The (“the” was added) Law (any law whatsoever) there shall no flesh be justified in Yahuah’s sight: for by The Law (ho nomos) is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the Righteousness of Yahuah without The (“the” was added) Law (any law whatsoever) is manifested (in The Law).

Based on these verses and others in Sha’ul’s letters we have been taught in our churches that there is no need to keep The Law of Yahuah; that Righteousness is manifested outside of The Law of Yahuah.  We see IN CONTEXT that cannot be the proper interpretation because in this same letter Sha’ul said:

Romans 2
13 for not the hearers of The Law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of The Law will be justified and declared Righteous.

Above the article “ho” (‘the’ in English) was not added. Based this one area of mistranslation combined with context of all Sha’ul’s writings: Sha’ul actually said:

Romans 3:20
20 Therefore by works of law (any law whatsoever, tradition, human commands) there shall no flesh be justified in Yahuah’s sight: for it is by THE LAW that we have knowledge of sin (Sha’ul is explaining the function of The Law). 21 But now the Righteousness of Yahuah (The Law of Yahuah Romans 7:12) that is separate from (human) law is revealed.

Romans 7:12
Therefore The Law is Holy, and the Commandments are Holy, and Just, and Righteous.

This error in translation is found throughout the Book of Romans. This error is corrected in this book giving us a true picture of what Sha’ul taught. Let me cover some of these areas found in the current modern translations.

No human law can promise/deliver salvation

In more than half of the passage in the NT where Sha’ul speaks of “law” he does not use the article “the”.  The phrase “works of law” is vastly different than the phrase “works of The Law”.   Let me put Romans 3 back into context of the rest of the book of Romans. I will correct this vital error in translation demonstrating the true meaning:

Romans 5
20 Moreover The Law (ho nomos) entered (our hearts as Yahuah promised) that the offense (of transgressing it) might abound (in our mind creating a need in us for us to repent and seek out our savior).

Romans 3
20 Therefore by works of any human law or tradition whatsoever (nomos) there shall no flesh be justified in Yahuah’s sight: (however it is) for by THE LAW of Yahuah (ho nomos) that we have the knowledge of sin (Romans 5:20).21 But now the Righteousness of Yahuah without (any human) law is revealed (in The Law of Yahuah, Romans 7:12). (Yahusha) being (the Messiah is) witnessed by The Law and the Prophets (Sha’ul is stressing the value of The Law as it gives Yahusha the authority to be The Messiah);  22 Even the Righteousness of Yahuah which is by Faith in (The Law and the Prophets which witness of) Yahusha the Messiah unto all and upon all them that believe (that Yahusha was the fulfillment of the witness of the stars, The Law and The Prophets): for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of Yahuah (requiring the blood of the Lamb to cover that sin defined in The Law of Yahuah only);  24 Being justified freely by Yahuah’s Grace (covering the death decrees in The Law with the blood of the Passover Lamb) through the redemption that is in the blood of Yahusha the Messiah: 25 Whom Yahuah hath set forth (in The Law not any human law) to be a an appeasing sacrifice through Faith in his blood, to declare Yahusha’s Righteousness in keeping The Law fully for the remission of our sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yahuah who accepts Yahusha’s obedience (to The Law) as if it were our own (by covering the Death Decrees we are brought into total compliance of The Law); 26 To declare, I say, at this time Yahusha’s Righteousness (in keeping The Law): that Yahuah might be just (in not issuing the final death decree against us), and the justifier of him which believes in (covenant with) Yahusha. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded (because Yahuah has accepted Yahusha’s obedience to The Law in place of our own). By what (human) law (nomos)? of (what) works (in obedience to human commands that we have done can we claim justification)? None: but by The Law of Faith (in the Passover Lamb our sin is covered and we are justified by The Law). 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by Faith (that Yahusha fulfilled Yahuah’s Promise of a Passover Lamb) without the words of any (human) law whatsoever (nomos).  29 Is Yahuah the God of the Jews (The House of Judah) only? is he not also (the God) of the (Lost Sheep of the House of Israel scattered among the) Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God (Sha’ul declares The Shema), which shall justify the circumcision by faith (in Yahusha as The Passover Lamb), and uncircumcision through Faith (in Yahusha as The Passover Lamb). 31 Do we then abolish The Law (ho nomos) through Faith? God forbid (the Passover Lamb Promise is found in The Law, if you abolish The Law you abolish the Promise of Salvation through the Passover Lamb with it). The Law of Yahuah is not abolished through Faith, The Law (ho nomos) of Yahuah is established through Faith (in Yahusha as we then walk as he walked in obedience to The Law keeping Passover in Faith to keep the memory of his sacrifice alive, 1 Corinthians 5).

 

Sha’ul declaring obedience to The Law is the definition of Righteousness

Romans 2:13
13For it is not those who hear The Law (ho nomos) who are Righteous in Yahuah's sight, but it is those who Obey The Law who will be declared Righteous.

Romans 6:16
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin (not keeping The Law) leading to death, or of obedience (to The Law) leading to Righteousness?

Romans 6:19
I am speaking in simple terms because of the frailty of your human nature (Satan). Just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater disobedience (to The Law), so now, in the same way, you must offer the parts of your body as slaves to Righteousness (which is keeping The Law) that leads to Sanctification.

The Law vital to the process of sanctification

What Sha’ul is teaching in Romans is this (when taken in full context):  We first have Faith (in The Law) that Yahusha was the fulfillment of Passover. We then we begin the process of sanctification, which is a process of becoming “holy” (set apart) by Yahuah through obedience to the Spiritual Intent of His Law.

As we progress on to perfection through sanctification (obedience to The Law of Yahuah not just any human law, custom, or tradition); we are filled with the Spirit of loving obedience to intent of His Instructions. This is how The Law is “written on our hearts” not in stone.

Ezekiel 36: 26, 27
I will give you a new heart (intent for My Law and write My Law on it, Jeremiah 31) and put a new Spirit (of loving obedience with knowledge of intent over letter) in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone (legalistic observance of The Law by the letter without love) and give you a heart of flesh (loving intent). And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow (the loving intent of) My Decrees and be careful to keep (the loving intent of) My Laws

Below are clear statements made by Sha’ul in Romans confirming The Law in The Yahushaic Covenant. 

The process of sanctification through obedience to The Law leads to Righteousness

Sha’ul says that the doers of The Law will be justified, and those who break it will be judged.  The word that is translated below "without Law" here is, Strong’s word #460, which means "not amenable to The Law of Yahuah". (See Thayer’s and Strong's lexicon).

Romans 2:12
For as many as have sinned without law (nomos, manmade laws) will also perish without law (nomos; because only in The Law of Yahuah is Salvation promised), and as many as have sinned under The Law (ho nomos) will be judged by The (death decrees in the) Law (because they did not accept Yahusha’s Passover sacrifice and keep Passover) 13 for not the hearers of The Law (ho nomos) are just in the sight of Yahuah, but the doers of The Law (ho nomos) will be justified.

 

Knowing Yahuah’s Intent is found in The Law

Romans 2:17
Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on The Law, and make your boast in Yahuah, 18 and know [His] will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of The Law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the (true) form of Knowledge and truth (which is found) in The Law.

 

Break The Law dishonors Yahuah!

Romans 2:21
You, therefore, who teach another (The Law), do you not teach (that same Law of Yahuah to) yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in The Law, do you dishonor Yahuah through breaking The Law? 24 For "the name of Yahuah is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written (in His Torah).

 

Sin is transgressing The Law

Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of (human) law (nomos), no flesh will be justified in His sight, for it is by The Law of Yahuah that the knowledge of sin (is defined).

Romans 7:7
What shall we say then? [Is] The Law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through (obedience to) The Law of Yahuah. For I would not have known covetousness unless The Law had said, "You shall not covet."

 

Sha’ul taught “Grace AND Law”, not “Grave OR Law”

Romans 3:31
Do we then make void The Law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we cause and make stand, we establish The Law (because Faith is defined as belief in the Promises made by Yahuah, which are found in The Torah).

Romans 6:15
What then? Shall we sin (break The Law) because we are not under (the death decrees of the) Law, but under Grace (because the decrees have been covered by the blood of the Lamb)? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin (breaking The Law leading) to death, or of obedience (to the letter of The Law leading) to Righteousness (obedience to the Loving Intent of The Law)?

Romans 7:12
Therefore The Law [is] Holy, and the Commandment Holy and Just and Righteous.

 

Our flesh NOT The Law is enmity toward Yahuah

Romans 7:14
For we know that The Law is Spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

 

Sha’ul delights in The Law of Yahuah

Romans 7:22
For I delight in The Law of Yahuah according to the inward man.

2 Timothy 3
16 All Scripture is (The Heavenly Scroll/The Law/Torah) given by inspiration of Yahuah, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in Righteousness, 17 that the man of Yahuah may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Romans 8:6-7
For to be carnally (literal) minded is death, but to be Spiritually (intent) minded (The Law is Spiritual Romans, 7:14) is life and peace. Because the carnal (literal) mind (not The Law) is enmity against Yahuah; for it is not subject to The Law of Yahuah, nor indeed can be.

It should be obvious by now that the Apostle Sha’ul taught that keeping The Law is the path to justification and Righteousness.  The Apostle Sha’ul did not start a new lawless religion called “Christianity”.  When Sha’ul’s letters are brought into context of each other… Sha’ul agrees with every other writer in the New Testament concerning the role of The Law in our lives and within The Yahushaic Covenant.
