Commandments

Christians today who have bought into that false doctrine that YAHUAH's Commandments have been abolished STAND ALONE...while Yahusha, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Paul, and every other son of YAHUAH stand together in OBEDIENCE to His Commandments in righteousness.
The only change over time was from verbal to written to Spiritual. The ordinances of YAHUAH remain the same.
The only difference between the time of Abraham and Moses was that the commands under went a "change" from verbal to written and further defined. And they underwent another change from Moses to Yahusha which was that of a "transferal" from written to Spiritual and further defined.
Yes, salvation is based on a promise, yet righteousness is based on obedience to commands. Sin is transgression of those commands, while Grace is forgiveness in light of those transgressions. They all work in unison in the training of the sons of God. You cannot isolate one aspect of the Master Plan in an attempt to do away with the other vital aspects of this training system.
His Commands were made known to Abraham and Jacob, Abraham's grandson too! And on down the line.
Gen 26:5 - KJV
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws .
Ps 147:19-148:1 - KJV
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
There is no righteousness outside of His Commands:
Romans 2:13 (New International Version)
13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
You cannot know YAHUAH outside His Commands:
1 John 2:4
"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments (Torah/Law), is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
You cannot Love YAHUAH outside His Commands:
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments;
His Law is the foundation of His Holiness and are Righteousness:
Deut 4:8 - KJV
8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
His Law/Commands are vital aspects of Grace which is defined as forgiveness in light of transgression of those very commands. You cannot have Grace with no Law... you have anarchy:
Rom 4:15 - KJV
15 Because the law worketh wrath (for disobedience): for where no law is, there is no transgression.
The Apostle Paul fully understood exactly what I am attempting to communicate to you now. And this is the topic of his letters. Paul was obedient to the Torah and Prophets and the Feasts EVEN AFTER the death of Yahusha and taught them in light of the Messiah:
Acts 24:14 - Complete Jewish Bible
“But this I admit to you: I worship the God of our fathers in accordance with the Way (which they call a sect). I continue to believe everything that accords with the Torah and everything written in the Prophets.”
Paul was blameless in keeping the Torah:
Acts 28:17 - Complete Jewish Bible
Brothers, (speaking to the local Jewish leaders) although I have done nothing against either our people or the traditions of our fathers…
Paul even went out of his way to get to Jerusalem for Shavu'ot to celebrate the giving of the Torah.
Acts 20:16 - Complete Jewish Bible
For Shaul had decided to bypass Ephesus on his voyage, in order to avoid losing time in the province of Asia, because he was hurrying to get to Yerushalayim, if possible in time to celebrate Shavu’ot. (Celebrate WHAT?, Paul went out of his way to celebrate Shavu'ot which is THE CELEBRATION OF THE GIVING OF THE TORAH!!!!)
That's exactly what it says. Paul CELEBRATED the Torah. He kept the Torah. He taught the Torah. So something is wrong with the way Paul's writings have been translated and taught. Paul wasn't alone, every man of God bar none kept His Commandments.... the man chosen by YAHUAH to heal Paul's vision was Hananyah... a keeper of the Torah!
Acts 22:12 - Complete Jewish Bible
A man named Hananyah, an observant follower of the Torah (why would he add that statement?) who was highly regarded by the entire Jewish community there, came to me, stood by me and said “Brother Shaul, see again!”.
And so was every other Disciple, Apostle, and early son of YAHUAH until the Cult of Sol Invictus came along 400 years later and abolished it all. This is called the Transgression of Desolation. Below I want to provide a very basic outline to demonstrate that the "Promise" did not exist in isolation outside every other vital aspect of the Plan of Salvation which has been at work all along. And to abolish His Commandments out of that same system now is a doctrine of man and there is no truth in it.
1 John 2:4
"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments (Torah/Law), is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
