op: The Torah is still binding & we MUST obey it?
"What Saith The Scripture?":
A) knowing "the purpose" of the law:
B) knowing why it "is still binding" for the unrighteous man (who will
D) knowing .... The Final Judgment .... of those who think they are obeying,
For any and all "who are of the law, and still under it's curse," who read God's
Word For you today, and, who wish Eternal Life, see God's Simple Will!
For those who are Under Grace, with "Freedom And Liberty" to serve God:
E) our position, as "righteous in The Body Of Christ":
--------------------
Conclusion2:
We, the BLOOD-Washed righteous, should all "obey the New Law":
"Simplicity In Christ" For the obedience of the new-born babe?:
►► The New law of faith which worketh By love ◄◄
All believers Should do "good works" {Which will Never
Equal CHRIST's Payment For the Penalty of sin!},
for Which we Are Created In CHRIST JESUS, to perform
for Him, having "been Called into fellowship With Him!"
(Ephesians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 1:9) Amen?:
We "work out our own salvation" (Philippians 2:12). This
Should Be a lifetime of Daily submission, and renewing,
being "not conformed to this world" (Romans 12:1-2),
for Grace Deliverance From the power of sin!}
(2 Corinthians 1:10b) = personal sanctification:
How we, righteous, who have obeyed The Gospel of The Grace
of God, although 'not under the law,' "Fulfil All the law", by Grace,
With Christ Living In us:
Example
"What Saith The Scripture?":
A) knowing "the purpose" of the law:
"Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for
sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for manslayers" (1 Timothy 1:9)
B) knowing why it "is still binding" for the unrighteous man (who will
Never 'obey it' all, Christ Being The Only "Perfect Obeyer" of law):
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith
is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
(Galatians 3:24 AV)
C) knowing what happens to "those who insist they are 'of the law,' andthink they are obeying all of it for their salvation"?:
"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it
is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which
are written in the book of the law to do them." (Galatians 3:10 AV)
D) knowing .... The Final Judgment .... of those who think they are obeying,
and calling The Righteous Judge "Lord, Lord" and Also boasting of ↑ ↑ ↑?:
"Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth The Will of My Father Which
is in heaven.
Many will say to Me In That Day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy
Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto
them, I Never Knew you: Depart from Me, ye that work iniquity. "
(Matthew 7:21-23 AV)
Conclusion1: Yes, the law is "still binding" for the unrighteous, and:For any and all "who are of the law, and still under it's curse," who read God's
Word For you today, and, who wish Eternal Life, see God's Simple Will!
For those who are Under Grace, with "Freedom And Liberty" to serve God:
E) our position, as "righteous in The Body Of Christ":
"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are
not under the law, but under Grace." (Romans 6:14 AV)
"What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law,
but under Grace? God forbid." (Romans 6:15 AV)
--------------------
Conclusion2:
"Christ Hath Redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for It Is Written, Cursed is
every one that hangeth on a tree" (Galatians 3:13 AV)
We, the BLOOD-Washed righteous, should all "obey the New Law":
"Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works?
Nay: but by The Law of faith." (Romans 3:27 AV):
+"For By Grace are ye Saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is The Gift Of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are His Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
(Ephesians 2:8-10; All commands in Romans - Philemon AV)
"Simplicity In Christ" For the obedience of the new-born babe?:
►► The New law of faith which worketh By love ◄◄
All believers Should do "good works" {Which will Never
Equal CHRIST's Payment For the Penalty of sin!},
for Which we Are Created In CHRIST JESUS, to perform

Hebrews 10:1-14 (with my emphases)
"The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”
First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."

Just reverse that statement.
The Torah (one scroll called Sefer Torah) is in fact the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh) from Genesis to Deuteronomy (with Hebrew names which correspond to the first few words of each book in Hebrew).
Genesis = Bereshith = "In the beginning"
Exodus = Shemoth = "Now these are the names"
Leviticus = Vayyikra = "And He [the LORD] called"
Numbers = Bemidbar = "In the wilderness"
Deuteronomy = Devarim = "The words"
The Old Covenant is contained within Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

This reminds and inspires me to be zealous for doing good works. [Brainstorming ideas about that:....] to be generous and sacrificial with those weaker than me (in any sense - physical, social, ..), counting others as more worthy than myself. to be zealous, wow, that's a big word, not just to do it, but to have a strong emotional drive, akin to when deep rage drives a person's actions, here it is not rage but zeal, but an equally intense feeling which expresses into strong action. the action is to love the weak, love my enemy. who is my enemy, I don't feel I have many enemies - who would I hate for oppressing me, if I were to be filled with hate? - I guess that is my enemy. those with the power to make/enforce better laws and choose not to, maybe from spite or cowardice or prioritisation of their own pleasure (comfort, fun with their family, financial stability, ...) and as a result the things I love (or things which I and those I love could benefit from) are taken, destroyed, degraded. say they are socially powerful people, the few, how can I love them when I never encounter them, when they will never know who I am? I suppose I can show them love by continuing to work hard to maintain the wealth and stability of society which they benefit from, so they can continue to have comfort, fun with their family, and financial stability. I can do it for them, loving them, when we love someone we don't need their recognition or thanks, I don't need them to know I helped them, I just want them to be all right.
If you've redd the above, you've been on a real-time journey with me over the last few minutes, this was my honest exploration and was a blessing to me. I don't feel the exploration is finished but it paused here for now.
I hope this is considered on-topic. I was focussing on how to fulfil the torah.

Hello Soyeong,
I would just like to know about the mosaic law. Since Christ fulfilled the law of Moses, commandments and confirmed (fulfilled) the prophecy about his birth and death, How can anyone follow the laws regarding sacrifices, temple etc... all these other Mosaic laws that cannot be followed today. Have the Jewish peoples replaced these Laws that cannot be followed by other similar laws as a replacement? I do not ask to judge in any way, just trying to understand.
Hypothesis: If the temple was rebuild, would the messianic Jewish community resume the sacrifices of Old? Would for instance animal sacrifices be replaced by other types of sacrifice or burnt offerings?
In my opinion, since Christ was the ultimate and last sacrifice in the full payment for sin of all who believe in him and do his Father's will, how could it be possible to reconcile offering sacrifices since Jesus saved us all by his sacrifice for us?
Thank you and Peace to you.

I laugh when I see things like this.
- All have sinned and fallen short; therefore, death is what we all deserve.
- Jesus is the only way to salvation you can't get saved and then put Jesus on the shelf and follow the law when you broke it already.
- Jesus took your punishment for you. If you return back to the law, you then return the judgment of it
- You can fool man with the outward appearance of obeying the law, BUT YOUR Heart God knows therefore, you may never do the act of adultery, but you can have a heart full of it. You may never commit murder but have a heart full of hate. You are a murderer. Jesus said Good luck with the law. FYI, far better people than I who saw God could not do it.
