Excellent teaching!! Never could I have worded this so complete. Via Sonja Funderburg... The Hebrew word for LAW is Torah. Torah is Instruction. In its most limited definition it refers to the Pentateuch 1. Yet, the word, Torah, is used to speak of the entire Old Testament as well. Torah basically means to teach or to instruct. It infers to either human instruction or Divine instruction. Through the Law, God shows His interest in all aspects of mans life. Motivated by love, God instructs His people in the ways of Wisdom and knowledge. Since Gods Law is given for our good, its regulations, both negative and positive are for our protection and prosperity. The Law is the revealed mind of God. His Will is His commandment, and His commandment is His Law. Thus, the Law is Divine since it comes from a Divine source. It is also perfect, as God Himself is perfect. Gods Law supersedes all other laws. It transcends all other law, making it the Supreme Law of the entire earth. Gods Law is also comprehensive and universal. It speaks to all areas of life, and to every living soul upon the face of the earth. The Law speaks of ceremonial truths, moral truths and dietary truths. It speaks of mans duty toward God, and mans duty toward his fellow man. The Law addresses, philosophy, psychology, biology, physics, all other sciences, economics, ecology, Theology, culture, politics, military relations, international and domestic relations, family life, church life, business, criminal and civil law, and every other aspect of life thinkable. There is nothing that Gods Law fails to address specifically. God regulates all life by His perfect Law. Since YHUH is the Lawgiver, and His Word is His Law, then it follows that every Word which proceeds from His mouth is His Law. The Second Testament is as much YHUHs Law as Torah. The two are One harmonious union. If we combine both Torah (First Testament) and Second Testament as One Law/Instruction, the list grows and becomes more comprehensive. Yet, what we find in the Second Testament is simply a repeat, a reminder of what is already contained in the Old. It is what the Apostles were raised upon from childhood. Messiah was The Torah in the Flesh and He came to teach by example of what He himself gave in the beginning and said would be done for eternity! NO ONE TIME did HE EVER claim that He came to end His Words, To Change them or live them for us, but lived them as an example and then told us to hear and Do, to walk as He walked! He didnt say NOW you NO LONGER have to hear and do (which is obedience).....He simply said to endure to the end, to continue on, to go get our brothers and bring them home....Bring the sheep back to the fold. Bring them back (repentance) to YHUH from the Pagan world and remind them of Torah..His Words!
