Apostle Paul Teacher of the Torah by Rav Sha'ul   Paul says it doesn't make a difference what day you worship. One day is not more sacred than another. I am a sabbath man...but I ache for my family and the church world who for 1700 years have been keeping the Sunday as the "official" worship day! I want 100% clarity vs. Paul the Apostle.   "Paul comes against circumcision and the law strongly. He is not for the festivals at all. Yet he circumcise Timothy and others to make them fit the Jewish mode and he progressively slips out of judaism into Gentilism via grace as he grows in grace and love. I understand him but have questions?"       What did Paul REALLY say?  I ask you, is the Word of YHWH consistent, or does it disagree and contradict.  Is it the vaque translations and horrible false teaching to blame or does it REALLY contradict?  Did Paul outright start a new religion, is he a false teacher, or was he truly called by Yahusha and like Yahusha mis-represented by the false church.  Below, I am going to TRULY teach Romans 14 the way it should have been taught and could have been better translated to avoid confusion (the author of which is SATAN)... Paul does NOT reference the Sabbath Day, the ONLY reason the Church thinks this is because they know nothing of the Feast Days and only think Sunday is holy.  So they teach Romans 14 as justification between Sabbath and Sunday.  This IS NOT AT ALL WHAT PAUL was teaching as made EVIDENT by the use of EASTING (FEASTING) and ABSTAINING (FASTING) which is referring to the Day of Atonement (where you don't eat) vs. the other FEASTS (where you do eat). Did Paul teach the Feasts?  Notice, Paul is teaching below the Sabbath, Feast of Passover, Feasts of FirstFruits, Feast of Weeks, the Day of Atonement, and the entire Feast Cycle both Spring and Fall! Romans 8 20 For the creation was subjected to futility (when Adam fell), not willingly, but because of YHWH who subjected it in hope (of a coming Messiah); 21 because the creation itself also (like the sons of YHWH during the Spring Feasts) will be delivered (in the coming Fall Feasts) from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God (on the DAY OF ATONEMENT). 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors (for 6,000 years per the Sabbath Covenant) with birth pangs together until now (the 7th Millennium, the Sabbath). 23 Not only that, but we also who have the Firstfruits (The Passover Lamb/Feast of First Fruits/Spring Feasts) of the Spirit (Given on the Feast of Weeks, the guarantee/Spring Feasts), even we ourselves groan within ourselves (along with creation because we have not yet been resurrected), eagerly waiting for the adoption (as elohim, into the Family of YHWH), the redemption of our body (on the Feast of Trumpets, the Rapture/Resurrection/Fall Feasts). 24 For we were saved (during the Spring Feasts by the Passover Lamb) in this hope (that He will return again and fulfill the Fall Feasts, resurrected our bodies and liberate creation), but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees (we have not yet witness the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts, so Hope endures)? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it (the Fall Feasts) with perseverance (those who persevere until the end, shall be saved). Did Paul teach against the Sabbath Day or Further Teach the Feasts? What Paul was clearly teaching below has nothing to do with the Sabbath vs. Sunday.  Paul is confronting the RELIGOUS bickering and explaining that every day in the FEAST CYCLE is of extreme importance and whether we are FEASTING (eating meat) on Passover, First Fruits, Week, Trumpets, or Tabernnacles... OR whether we are fasting on the Day of Atonment, we do these things giving thanks to YHWH!   Romans 14 (New International Version)  5One man considers one (Feast) day (i.e. The Day of Atonment, the day you abstain from eating meat) more sacred than another (Feast days when you FEAST and eat meat); another man considers every (Feast) day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one (Feast) day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat (which is an offering of fire, or FEASTING commanded on most Feast Days), eats (meat sacrificed) to the Lord, for he gives thanks (for the meaning of the Fall/Spring Feasts) to God; and he who abstains (from eating on the Day of Atonement, the ONLY required FAST), does so (offers an offering of sacrifice or abstinance) to the Lord and gives thanks (for the meaning of the Day of Atonement) to God. To truly understand Paul's writings is to see a man deeply committed to the Sabbath/Feasts/Torah while bringing delicately the lost sheep out of paganism through Grace.   While I'm at it let me go ahead and address the following scripture...  The following scripture is used by the false church to justify their false teaching that the TORAH was nailed to the cross.  That is totally inaccurate and a blatant violation of Truth... Col 2:14-16 "Having canceled out the certificate of debt (DEATH.. PENALTY of transgressing the Torah) consisting of decrees (of YHWH) against us and which was hostile to us (because we did not keep His Commandments); and YHWH has taken it (the certificate of debt/DEAT) out of the way (sacrificing His Passover Lamb), having nailed it (The Penalty of Death... THE DECREES AGAINST US for falling short of His Torah... NOT the Torah) to the cross. When YHWH had disarmed the (spiritual) rulers and authorities (in high places who cause us to sin against His Laws resulting in our death), YHWH made a public display of them (by resurrecting His Messiah), having triumphed over them through Yahusha. Therefore let no one (the Jews were trying to get them to renounce the Messiah and convert to Judaism) act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day- things which are a mere shadows (physical portraits ordained by YHWH) of what is to come (in Spiritual Truth that THEY (Jews) missed in all their ritualistic observances); but the substance (fulfillment of the Feasts/Torah/Sabbath) belongs to the Messiah (who as High Priests is our subsitution for the certificate of debt/DEATH serving as our High Priest offering the proper gifts/sacrifices to YHWH on our behalf)." To understand the Word of God, you cannot take any one scripture out of context and build an entire doctrine from it when the bulk of the Word of God says the exact opposite. The subject of Col 2:14-16 is NOT the Sabbath day, Feasts, and Commandments. The subject is the penalty of death or “certificate of debt” that was levied against mankind for our failure to keep the Feasts/Torah/Sabbath prior to the YHWH paying that debt for us with the blood of His first born son Yahusha. And the condemnation from the rest of the World as we keep YHWH´s Commandments, Feasts, and Sabbaths. Again, the subject is the "certificate of debt" not YHWH´s Sabbaths, Feasts, and Torah.   YHWH nailed the penalty of sin (violating His Holy Commands) to the cross, as the blood of our Messiah and His Passover Lamb was sufficient to YHWH to cover our transgressions against His Commandment. There is GRACE now in light of the law (as we keep His commandments out of love not obligation). Paul is covering two bases with this scripture. ONE: Paul is saying. Do not let anyone (Jews) condemn you (Gentiles) with the old “certificate of debt” or “penalties of the law” because the penalty has been nailed to the cross. We now have GRACE. SECOND: Paul is addressing the people of the Church in Colossae which God had called out of very pagan environments. The pagan communities in which they lived were JUDGING them for keeping YHWH’ Feasts and Sabbaths (as they should have been) because they were drinking wine and feasting and not following pagan rituals of self denial.
