Christianity and Replacement Theology

The primary problem that I see with most Christians is they believe in replacement theology (christianity replaces Judaism). Like it or not, Yeshua (Jesus) was Jewish, the Messiah of Israel and their Religion. He was/is the Messiah, Redeemer of the Jews first, then the Goy (Gentiles) Matthew 10:5-6, 15:24, Acts 9:15. (Read my Blog: "Jews to Christians" for more).

The Law or Jesus? I Choose our Savior. But, because He Loves me and I Love Him, I choose to walk as He did and (I try) to keep the Torah. Trust me, I screw up all the time, but He is there with His forgiveness. We are NOT Saved by the Keeping of the Law, only through HIS Blood. Hey, I understand the plight of the Christian, I have been there with you. Most of the arguments against the "Law" are just more of the same and contradict many, many scriptures. Matthew 5:17-20, speaks loudly to us all. "Fulfill" doesn't mean done away with, if it does HE contradicts Himself. He came to shed light on (fill-full) the "Instructions" (Torah, Law), not do away with it.

I think that the reason that the "Church" is in the state that it is, is because no one teaches what Sin is, by the Biblical definition in 1 John 3:4. When Jesus was on Earth and teaching; what did He quote from when He said "It is Written" ? He taught from the Torah & Prophets. This is what the unbelieving Jews were always trying to get Him with because they thought that He was teaching against the Torah or breaking the Torah. Without the Torah (Law) there is NO Sin, because without the Torah there is No knowledge of what Sin is. Jesus took away the condemnation, He bore the punishment for mine and your transgression of the Law. We should then follow the instruction in 1 John 2:6, 3:22-24.

If Believers would re-read the teachings of Jesus and Paul after spending time studying the first 5 books in the Bible, misunderstood things become very clear. I believe that you have to find an Anointed Teacher of the Torah who believes in Yeshua as the Messiah, because you just can't understand and learn the depth of the Torah and the Teachings of Yeshua and Paul without a Teacher who knows and understands the "Hebrewisms" of the Scriptures. There is a Great book that helps put it all in perspective called "Boundary Stones" by Aaron Eby. http://www.ffoz.com/.
