Bits of Torah Truths - Paul Taught the Torah in the Book of Romans - Episode 67 Romans 2:13 יג הֲרֵי לֹא שׁוֹמְעֵי הַתּוֹרָה צַדִּיקִים לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים, אֶלָּא הַמְקַיְּמִים אֶת הַתּוֹרָה הֵם אֲשֶׁר יֻצְדְּקוּ We note here how Paul uses the Torah while teaching according to Romans 2:13. Paul states that those who do the Torah and not just hear it are considered justified. Also note the word הַמְקַיְּמִים used to describe the one who "does" the command, is one who "establishes" the commands in his or her life. The Torah has not passed away. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul is Teaching from the Torah in Romans 2:12 - Episode 66 Romans 2:12 יב שֶׁכֵּן כָּל אֲשֶׁר חָטְאוּ בְּלִי תּוֹרָה גַּם יֹאבְדוּ בְּלִי תּוֹרָה, וְכָל אֲשֶׁר חָטְאוּ וְיֵשׁ לָהֶם תּוֹרָה, עַל–פִּי הַתּוֹרָה יִשָּׁפְטוּ. A few things to comment about the context, here sin and perishing are mentioned, and with or without the law, the point paul is making is that because of sin one will perish, whether one knows what the Torah says, or one doesnt know what the Torah says. Take Leviticus 5:17 as an example, one is guilty even if he doesnt know what the Torah says. That is Paul's point, Paul is using Leviticus 5:17. Also, it is important to note that sin is not defined whether one knows he has sinned or not. Sin is defined in the Torah, so whether one knows or not he will perish because sin. The Word of God is eternal (Isaiah 40:8) https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

We note glancing at Romans 2, we see how often Paul refers to the Torah in his text to the believers in Rome. Here in just 4 verses, he mentions the Torah 11 times.

The Torah has not passed away. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Here in Acts 28:23 we read explicitly how Paul taught people the Torah and the Prophets. A further point is that Paul uses the Torah and the Prophets to prove that Yeshua is the Messiah sent by God.

(KJV) Here in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 Paul taught on marriage and divorce from Devarim / Deuteronomy 24:1-5 stating how marriage is binding and how we should seek reconciliation in marriage as opposed to just seeking divorce. Paul's insights are from a Torah perspective. The Torah has not passed away. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul Used the Torah to Show Ananias was a Righteous Man - Episode 60 Acts 22:12–13 יב אִישׁ אֶחָד, חֲנַנְיָה שְׁמוֹ, אִישׁ חָסִיד עַל–פִּי הַתּוֹרָה וְשֵׁם טוֹב לוֹ בְּקֶרֶב כָּל הַתּוֹשָׁבִים הַיְּהוּדִים, יג בָּא אֵלַי וְעָמַד לְיָדִי. אָמַר אֵלַי, ׳שָׁאוּל אָחִי, רְאֵה שׁוּב!׳ בְּאוֹתָהּ שָׁעָה רָאִיתִי אוֹתוֹ.

So here we see more false accusations saying that Paul taught against the Torah.

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul Teaches from the Torah on Prostitution - Episode 85 1 Corinthians 6:16 טז הַאֵינְכֶם יוֹדְעִים כִּי הַדָּבֵק בְּזוֹנָה נִהְיֶה עִמָּהּ לְגוּף אֶחָד? שֶׁהֲרֵי נֶאֱמַר׃ ״וְהָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם לְבָשָׂר אֶחָד.״ (בראשית ב׳ כד׳) Genesis 2:24 כד עַל־כֵּן֙ יַֽעֲזָב־אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־אָבִ֖יו וְאֶת־אִמּ֑וֹ וְדָבַ֣ק בְּאִשְׁתּ֔וֹ וְהָי֖וּ לְבָשָׂ֥ר אֶחָֽד׃ 1 Corinthians 6:16 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (KJV) Genesis 2:24 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (KJV) Here Paul quotes from Bereshit / Genesis 2:24 teaching about prostitution in 1 Corinthians 6:16. The idea is that there are both physical and spiritual consequences to laying with a prostitute. The Torah has not passed away. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul Showed How he Continued to Keep the Torah - Episode 58 Acts 21:24 כד קַח אוֹתָם, הִטָּהֵר אִתָּם וְשַׁלֵּם בַּעֲדָם כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּגַלְּחוּ אֶת רֹאשָׁם וְהַכֹּל יֵדְעוּ שֶׁהַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ עָלֶיךָ אֵינָם נְכוֹנִים, כִּי גַּם אַתָּה בְּעַצְמְךָ שׁוֹמֵר אֶת הַתּוֹרָה. Here in Acts 21:24 we read how people were claiming that Paul taught against the Torah, and so he performed the vow of a nazarite to demonstrate how he kept the Torah and was not teaching against the Torah. Note that the Nazarite vow included the whole burnt offering, the sin offering, the grain offering, etc. The Torah has not passed away! https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

We note the significance of these verses in Acts 21:20 how New Believers in Yeshua were ZEALOUS for the Torah! Notice how keeping the Torah and believing in Yeshua are not mutually exclusive.

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul Listed Immoral Actions Defined by the Torah - Episode 84 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 ט אוֹ שֶׁמָּא אֵינְכֶם יוֹדְעִים כִּי עוֹשֵׂי עָוֶל לֹא יִירְשׁוּ אֶת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים? אַל תִּטְעוּ;לֹא זוֹנִים וְלֹא עוֹבְדֵי אֱלִילִים, לֹא מְנָאֲפִים וְלֹא עוֹשֵׂי זִמָּה וְלֹא יוֹדְעֵי מִשְׁכַּב זָכָר, י לֹא גַּנָּבִים וְלֹא חַמְדָנִים, לֹא סוֹבְאִים וְלֹא מְגַדְּפִים וְלֹא חוֹמְסִים יִירְשׁוּ אֶת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים. 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (KJV) What we note about these verses here in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 is how Paul is quoting the Torah summarizing Vayikra / Leviticus 20. Paul is listing various immoral actions which are defined by the Torah. This proves how the Torah had not passed away. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Here according to Acts 20:16 we are told that Paul was determined to be in Jerusalem for the festival of Shavuot. Paul wanted to arrive in time at Jerusalem to keep Shavuot according to the Torah. See Shemot / Exodus 34:22 and Vayikra / Leviticus 23:15-22.

Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

(KJV) Leviticus 20:11 11 And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (KJV) What we note about Paul here is his calling out the Torah according to Vayikra / Leviticus 20:11 in his statement in 1 Corinthians 5:1.
