Most of us in the Christian religion have been taught that Paul said we no longer had to keep the Law {Torah}. Is that another Lie we have been taught? Let's see what Shaul had to say about the Torah. [Law].

 

Romans 7:12

Wherefore the Torah is holy...

 

Romans 7:14

For we know that the Torah is spiritual.

 

Romans 7:22

For I delight in the Torah of Elohim after the inward man.

 

Romans 7:25

I thank Elohim through Yshua the Messiah our Master. So then with the mind I myself serve the Torah of YaHoVaH, but with the flesh the law of sin.

 

Romans 8:2

For the Torah of the Spirit of life in the Messiah Yshua has made me free from the Law of sin and death.

 

Romans 8:4

That the righteousness of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 

Those are just from chapters 7 & 8 in Romans. Let's see if he taught against the Torah in the book of Acts.

 

Acts 20:6

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread. [Why did they wait until after the days of unleavened bread? If Shaul did not keep the Feasts of Leviticus 23, then why mention it at all or even wait until the days of unleavened bread were over?]

 

Acts 20:16

For Shaul determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia; for he hasted, if it were possible for him to be at Yahrushalayim the day of Pentecost. [Why was he concerned about being in Yahrushalayim if the Feasts had been done away with?]

Why does the Church observe Pentecost but not the other feasts in Leviticus? That's because they have been taught that the Church started in Acts 2 on Pentecost. The Hebrew word is Shavuot.

 

Acts 21:20

... how many thousands of Jews who believe; and they are all zealous of the Torah. [Why would Jews be zealous of keeping the Torah, if it was done away with?]

 

In Acts 21, there were Jews who said that Shaul did not keep the Torah. Jacob and all the elders were gathered and said in verses 23-24 "...We have four men who have a vow on them. Them take and purify yourself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads and all may know that those things whereof they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the Torah. [Here is solid proof that Shaul kept the Torah because he went with the four other men and purified himself for a Nazarite vow. Not only that, he paid the their sacrifices and we know animals are not cheap.]

 

Acts 25:8

While he answered for himself 'Neither against the Law of the Jews... have I offended anything at all." [His conscience was clear before Elohim and men as stated in 24:16.

 

We can see from the above verses that Shaul did keep the Torah and did not teach against it.

 

He followed Messiah. How did Messiah walk? He kept the Torah of His Father in heaven. After all He is the Living Torah!

 

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the Only Eloah,  

be honor and glory forever and ever. Amein!"

1 Timothy 1:17
