1 What advantage does the Yahdai (The
House of Judah) have with The Law, or what benefit is there in
circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly, because to the
Yahdai (The House of Judah) were
entrusted the Law of Yahuah. 3 So what if some did not
believe we must keep The Law? Will their unbelief make the faith in
Yahuah’s Law ineffective? 4 By no means! Yes, let Yahuah be
true, and every man a liar. As it is written: That you might be
justified in your words and might overcome when you are judged. 5
But if our unrighteousness (breaking The Law)
brings out Yahuah's righteousness more clearly (because
The Law defines sin),
1 John 3:4 - King
James 2000 Bible
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also The Law: for sin
is the transgression of The Law.
Romans 2:13
For it is not those who hear The Law who are
righteous in Yahuah's sight, but it is those who
obey The Law who will be declared righteous.
Titus 2:14 - English
Standard Version
who gave himself for us to redeem
us from all lawlessness (abolishing The
Law 1 John 3:4) and to purify for himself a people for his
own possession who are zealous for good works (of
The Law James 2:14-26).
Romans 6:19 - International
Standard Version
I am speaking in simple terms
because of the frailty of your human nature. Just as you once
offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to greater
and greater disobedience (to The Law; the
carnal mind is hostile to The Law Romans 8:7), so now, in the
same way, you must offer the parts of your body as slaves to
righteousness (which is keeping The
Law Romans 2:13) that leads to sanctification.
1 John 2
3 We know that we have come to know
Yahuah if we keep His commands. 4 Whoever
says, “I know Yahuah,” but does not do what Yahuah commands is a
liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But
if anyone obeys Yahuah’s word (Matthew
5:17-20), love for Yahuah is
truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in The
Yahushaic Covenant: 6 Whoever
claims to live in covenant with Yahusha must live as Yahusha did (keeping
the intent of The Law of Yahuah in loving obedience)
what shall we say? That Yahuah is unjust by
inflicting His wrath on us (because we do not
believe in The Law)? (I am using a purely human argument.) 6
By no means! Otherwise, how could Yahuah judge the world (unless
The Law is true and active. If The Law is not active there would be no
‘sin’ because there would be no definition of it Romans 5:13, Romans
5:12-13)?
Romans 5:13
To be sure, sin
was in the world before the law was given to Moses (it
was active at the time of Adam on…), but sin is not charged
against anyone’s account where there is no law (proving
the Law was active at the time of Adam as Adam sinned).
Romans 5
12 Therefore,
just as through one man sin (sin
is disobedience
to The Law, 1 John 3:4)
entered the world (Adam
disobeyed Yahuah’s Commands bringing sin into the world),
and death through sin (The
Law of Sin and You Die),
and thus death spread to all men (as
Death is the penalty of sin which is breaking The Law),
because all man sinned (and
therefore die for their own sin, not because they are born with
Original Sin, The Law clearly states that no man is to be punished
for another’s sin including Adam’s) 13 To
be sure, sin (breaking
The Law) was in
the world before the (written)
Law was given (to
Moses), but sin
(breaking The
Law) is not
charged against anyone’s account where there is no Law.
(so the fact
that sin was in the world before the written Law is proof The Law
existed all the way back to Adam.
So Sha’ul is
saying there must have been The Law at the time of Adam because
there was transgression…) 14 Nevertheless
(now
Sha’ul says death is the proof of The Law), death
reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, (and
DEATH is the penalty of “sin” or breaking The Law. So, transgression
and death is PROOF The Law existed from Adam to Moses)
even over those who did not sin by breaking a Command, as did Adam (The
Law was a lot more complex than anyone knew because people were
dying for all types of sin not just “eating the apple”)
7 Someone might argue; But if the
truth of Yahuah increases to His glory through my falsehood (that
there is no Law), why am I still condemned as a sinner (because
it is active whether you believe in it or not)? 8 Why
not say--as we are being slanderously reported to have said — “Why
should we not do evil, that righteousness may come?” Their (those
who bear false witness that we said this) damnation is deserved (according
to The Law).
Matthew 23:28 - Weymouth
New Testament
The same is true of you: outwardly you seem
to the human eye to be good and honest men, but, within, you are
full of insincerity and disregard of Yahuah’s Law.
Romans 8:6-7
6 For to be carnally
minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against Yahuah; for it is not subject to The
Law of Yahuah, nor indeed can be.
9 Well then, are we The House of Judah
better than the (The Lost Sheep of The House of
Israel dispersed among) pagans? Not in any way. We have already
charged that all men, both The House of Judah and Lost Sheep of The
House of Israel dispersed among the Greeks, are under (the
death decrees due to our) sin.
Hebrews 2:15
and free those
who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of (the)
death (decrees).
Colossians 2
13 When you were dead in your transgressions (held
captive to the death decrees) and the uncircumcision of your
flesh (lost among the Gentile nations),
Yahuah made you alive together with Yahusha, having forgiven us all
our transgressions (covered the death
decrees), 14 having
canceled out the certificate of
debt consisting
of (death) decrees against us,
which (the Death Decrees) was
hostile to us; and Yahuah has taken the certificate of debt (death
decrees in the Law) out of
the way, having nailed the certificate of debt (that
justifies our physical death)
to the stake with Yahusha.
10 As it is written: There is none
righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands;
there is none who seek after Yahuah. 12 They all have gone
down the wrong path, they have together become unprofitable sinners;
there is none who does righteousness (which is
defined by The Law), no, not one. 13 Their throat is
an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison
of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of
cursing and bitterness; deceit and oppression. 15 Their feet
are swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery are in
their ways; 17 And the way of peace they have not known.
18 There is no reverence of Yahuah before their eyes. 19
Now we know that as long as the Law is preached, they who are under the
Law will preach it, so that every mouth will be silenced, and all the
world may become under the judgment of Yahuah, 20 Because
anyone who does anything outside of the Law, will not be justified
before Him, for through the Law comes full knowledge of sin (leading
to repentance and justification).
21 Yet, now, has the righteousness of
Yahuah been manifested apart from the Law? No, Yahuah’s Righteousness
was testified to by the Law and the Prophets -- 22 Namely,
the righteousness of Yahuah by the faith of anointed, to all, and upon
all, of those who believe (in The Yahushaic
Covenant). For there is no difference: 23 For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of Yahuah; 24 Being
freely justified by His forgiveness, through the redemption; salvation,
that is through our High Priest Yahusha Messiah; 25 Whom
Yahuah set forth as a sacrifice of atonement by His own blood, through
the faith, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that
are past, through the forbearance of Yahuah; 26 To declare
His righteousness at this time, that He might be just, and The Justifier
of the one who is of the faith of Yahusha.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is
outlawed. Through what law--of any law to be kept (might
we boast)? No! But through the Law combined with faith (which
is a gift of Yahuah in The Yahushaic Covenant). 28 Are
we concluding, then, that a man is justified apart from the works of
Law? 29 Or is He the Father of The House of Judah only? Is He
not also the Father of the Lost Sheep of The House of Israel dispersed
among the Gentiles? Yes, also of The House of Israel among the Gentiles.
30 Since Yahuah is indeed the One Who will justify the
circumcision out of the faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith
(the Reunification of both Houses),
31 Are we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no
means! Rather, we establish the Law!
Ezekiel 37 - Reunion of Judah and Israel
15 The word of Yahuah came again to me
saying, 16 “And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick
and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’
(known as the House of Judah); then take another stick and write
on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the House of
Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them for
yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your
hand. 18 When the sons of your people (descendants
of Israel)
speak to you saying, ‘Will you not declare to us what you mean by
these?’ 19 say to them, ‘Thus says Yahuah your Elohim,
“Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of
Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions (the House of Israel);
and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah (the House of Judah), and make them one stick, and they
will be one in My hand.”’ 20 The sticks on which you write
will be in your hand before their eyes. 21 Say to them, ‘Thus
says Yahuah your Elohim,
“Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the (pagan Gentile) nations where they have gone, and I
will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains
of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they
will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms. 23 They
will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their
detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will
deliver them from all their dwelling places (among
the Gentiles) in
which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My
people, and I will be their Elohim.
