What is our Covenant Supposed to Look Like"?

  by Jay Scher

Act 15:30 They, therefore, being sent off, went to Antioch. And having gathered the crowd together, they delivered the letter. Act 15:31 And having read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. So we have 7 things that this goes against. 1. That it was a sign you were in covenant with Yah. 2. You were to do it to all your males on the 8th day. 3. If you were male you couldn’t partake of the Passover unless you had it done. 4. He doesn’t change he is the same yesterday today and forever. 5. Messiah didn’t come to take away any part of the Torah. 6. This was to be guarded throughout all generations of Abraham’s seed. So if you stop this then you are saying you are no seed of Abraham. 7. We are teach men it is Ok to break the commands in Torah? Joh 7:19 “Did not Mosheh give you the Torah? Yet not one of you does the Torah!1 Why do you seek to kill Me?” Footnote: 1See Mt. 5:20. Joh 7:20 The crowd answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?” Joh 7:21 יהושע answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. Joh 7:22 “Because of this Mosheh has given you the circumcision – though it is not from Mosheh, but from the fathers – and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. Joh 7:23 “If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Torah of Mosheh should not be broken, are you wroth with Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath? Joh 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” Duet 29,,, Was the covenant here any different? Was the covenant made so that there was no Circumcision? Gal 5:1 In the freedom with which Messiah has made us free, stand firm, then, and do not again be held with a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:2 See, I, Sha’ul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Messiah shall be of no use to you. Gal 5:3 And I witness again to every man being circumcised that he is a debtor to do the entire Torah. Gal 5:6 For in Messiah יהושע neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any strength/power, but belief working through love. It is not about power or strength it is about being part of a covenant that was made first with Abraham. So where did this kind of thinking come from to get away from circumcision? Constantine, Marcion or who? He wanted to get away from anything that that resembled the Way or even what the secular Israelites kept. This is a fabricated word. Did Yah Messiah say this or is Shaul saying this. Oh it’s OK to do this because I say it. Are we supposed to go backwards through what Paul is saying here as though he has the same Authority as Messiah and the Father do? Or do we filter everything through what Torah and Messiah say, Because they are one and of the same! Did Sha’ul bring a new Gospel other than what Messiah was teaching and go 100% against him? NO, that is crazy talk! We do not understand him or it is a total corruption here, because I don’t believe Sha’ul was a heretic. People use Paul as a license to sin. Joh 14:6 יהושע said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. I hope this was a blessing to you all!
