Must the Law of Moshe be obeyed beyond the Sacrifice of Yahushua? (Part I)

Sometime ago, I published some articles through this very medium, pointing out to readers that the version of Christian clergymen on the death and resurrection of Yahushua, purported to have taken place within a period between Friday as burial-day and Sunday as resurrection-day, is non-scriptural, incredulous, and very dangerous to the aspirations of salvation seekers.

In trying to lay bare, and bring to the attention of readers of those articles, the truth that Yahushua never resurrected in the morning of a First Day of the Week (Sunday)—a day which is at the center of the celebration of an Easter Sunday feast that was even unknown to any true, loyal and dedicated followers of Yahushua, until the inception of Christianity in the fourth century—I had to teach on a few things about the holy Shabbat days of the Most High One.

A couple of readers of these articles chose to ask me questions about the relevance of the Shabbat law observance by Goyim (Gentile) salvation seekers today, since some parts of the scriptures in the English Bible seem to release them from any obligations to the Law of Moshe.

One reader specifically referred me to Romans 7:5-10 and Colossians 2:16-19 and wanted to know what my thoughts are on these verses of scripture vis-à-vis my teachings on the holy Shabbat days of the Almighty, and of my views expressed on Easter celebrations being sinful, and thus, sure to hinder every one of its celebrants, from the chances of anyone entering into Shamayim (Heaven?) at the end of Time.

Of course, I have no options but to stand up in courage, to teach my understanding of these verses of Romans and Colossians by this article. And I hope my readers and my questioners in particular will also have courage to sit down to read, so we may come to the same understanding, as all salvation seekers must be united in their beliefs.

Let me begin by saying that it will be suicidal, and a ship wreck of one's salvation, for anyone to isolate and dwell on only Romans 7:5-10, Colossians 2:16-19 or any other scriptures for that matter, in trying to develop one's faith in the lifestyle commanded of all true followers of Yahushua.

Any salvation seekers who isolate and stand on any particular scriptures alone, in pursuit of the lifestyle of Yahushua, would be dwelling only on the letter, without the spirit of the Word of Elohiym. And then, such persons will not have the spiritual fervor for the life in Yahushua, which we all have been called to; such persons will simply die off—first, spiritually, and subsequently, physically!! Remember, “The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” (Second Corinthians 3:6).

So then, we must seek to have other portions of scripture, indeed, the whole and full counsel of the Word of Elohiym, aid us to understand Romans 7 and Colossians 2 and all other scriptures related to them. The salvation seeker is commanded to fully accept, obey, and each day, live by the totality of the Word of Elohiym, if one is to reach one's intended destination—Shamayim.

Let us go to the accounts of the scriptures—specifically the Gospel narratives, where our training by Yahushua to be his genuine followers begins from—to learn a few things Yahushua has said in general, about the Law of Moshe.

We read Yahushua, saying, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till it be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”—cf. MattitYahu (Matthew) 5:18-19.

Do salvation seekers of this generation understand these very simple and clear words and the power in them? I hope they do. The fact is that, the laws of Elohiym remain in force forever and are meant to be obeyed by all genuine followers of Yahushua, till at any point in time, they become fulfilled. Whenever any parts of Elohiym's Word are deemed fulfilled, the salvation seeker lives effortlessly in the comfort and blessings of those parts.

If salvation seekers would read further down the above quoted verses, to MattitYahu 5:20 and then meditate seriously on all these verses, they will understand that, just as any Hebrew of the sect of Pharisees would not be admitted into the kingdom of Elohiym, because he picks and chooses portions of the law to live by, anyone who breaks the least commandment of the law, will not also be admitted into Shamayim. It is not the case of anyone being allowed entry into Shamayim, and then while living there to be considered least; it is utter refusal of entry! This reveals the great importance Elohiym attaches to His Law.

Again, listen to Yahushua talk to his listening and teachable talmidim (disciples?) about a time in the future which was scheduled to come after his own physical exit from the earth: “But pray ye that your flight be not in winter, neither on the Shabbat day”—cf. MattitYahu 24:20.

These words of Yahushua are just too plain and should be easily understood. Despite all these strong but clear words of Yahushua in this verse, did I hear some salvation seeker of this generation whisper softly that the Shabbat law was over—saying, it had been nailed to a stake (“cross”?) on which Yahushua was sacrificed? That must be the most dangerous stance to take and I cannot believe any salvation seeker would ever hold such an idea.

Well, Yahushua, in talking of a time to come after his death—when this nailing of the Shabbat law to a “cross” was supposed to have been made, according to the beliefs of some salvation seekers—says to his true and genuine talmidim that they must pray that the cataclysmic events billed to hit our world, sometime after his physical exit, never hit them on the Shabbat day.

If these events ever came upon them on the Shabbat day, it would put them in a big dilemma. Would they have to run for one's dear life or to stay put? To run for one's life is to sin against the Shabbat commandment and cause one to die spiritually; while on the other hand, to stay put and not flee, in obedience to the holy law of the Shabbat of the Most High One, is to die in the cataclysms. This is no good situation for anyone to wish to experience.

Ahead of this coming day, salvation seekers have been warned that if they ever found themselves in such a dilemma, they were to remember the following scripture: “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it”—cf. Luq (Luke) 9:24.

So then, if by these words of Yahushua, his genuine and loyal followers would be living under the influence and power of the Shabbat law long after his Ascension back to Shamayim, is it not absurd, and in fact, ridiculous, for some salvation seekers today to suppose that this same Shabbat law [within the same Dispensation of Grace], is no longer of value and effect on them, simply because some misguided persons claim it's been nailed to a “cross”?

There is so much every salvation seeker today, striving to please the Good Father, can learn from the lifestyle of those in the early days of the New Testament dispensation, who lived by the faith taught in the scriptures—the men who walked, talked, and ate with Yahushua.

The lives lived by those holy men in the accounts of the New Testament must be examples to us today. And so, one may ask to know: What was the faith and lifestyle of the true followers of Yahushua, the shlikhim (apostles?), with regard to the Law of Moshe?

Without doubt, their lifestyle was guided by a simple faith in submission and absolute loyalty to the Law of Moshe. For instance, there is overwhelming evidence that they always gathered on every Shabbat day to worship, and teach and study the Word of Elohiym. This means that all the talmidim of Yahushua in the first century were Shabbat day keepers. The accounts of scripture in Acts 13:44, 15:21, 16:13, 17:2, and 18:4, reveal this to us.

The talmidim of Yahushua also diligently kept the feasts of Elohiym as is evidenced from Acts 12:3, 18:21, 20:6. There is also evidence that some of them even raised their commitment to the Law of Moshe to a higher bar by which they kept vows such as those that are known to be kept by any Nazir (Nazarite?)—cf. Bamidbar (Numbers) 6:1-8! This evidence is found in the accounts of Acts 18:18, 21:24.

Part II
In fact, it is clearly revealed in Acts 21:24 that Sha’uwl (Saul/Paul) the shliakh (apostle?) who wrote Romans and Colossians was among those who kept the Law of Moshe in full! It is clearly said of Sha’uwl that he kept the entire Law, that is, the hitherto unfulfilled portion of the Law.

Let us capture here, a part of this verse of scripture that tells us so: “. . . and all may know that, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also WALKETH ORDERLY AND KEEPETH THE LAW”—cf. Acts 21:24, caps mine.

We learn from these revelations that all the apostles of Yahushua—Sha’uwl, the author of Romans and Colossians included—walked orderly by keeping the Law. Though this lifestyle of Sha’uwl mentioned in this scripture must be revealing for many, in as much as it is drawn into focus in this teaching, it comes as no surprise to some of us.

This is because some of us know for a fact that if by some miracle, loyal followers of Yahushua of the first century were alive unto this day, they would continue doing the holy things that they had been doing—walking orderly by keeping the Law. Why then would their successors, like salvation seekers of this generation, do anything differently or decide to walk disorderly by not keeping the Law?

If these great holy men of the early days of the New Testament dispensation, now sleeping in their graves, were raised back to life today, to continue to live throughout the time remaining for Yahushua to return, they would be walking orderly by obeying the Law while waiting for it to happen; let no one make no mistake about this.

The obvious truth is that, for these holy men, whether they were present in the world in the flesh or only alive in spirit in their deaths, all they would know to do is to walk orderly by obeying the Law. Can one, therefore, think that Sha’uwl, who was himself very much zealous for the Law and kept it as his lifestyle, would at the same time, teach or write to salvation seekers of his day not to live by the Law, as some people today suppose and even accuse that he did??

Or have today's readers of the scriptures misunderstood what he wrote in his letters to the Romans and Colossians of his day, under the inspiration of Ruwakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit?)? If it is not that the Word of Elohiym as was written by Sha’uwl has been misunderstood, then, was Sha’uwl a hypocrite—living differently from what he preached?

Elohiym forbid that Sha’uwl be a hypocrite! So then, let us try to understand Sha’uwl and his teaching in Romans 7 and not suppose him to be an anti-Shabbat preacher.

Let me now try to teach my understanding of Romans 7. I will try to be as brief as I can in this, though this will be difficult, in view of the gravity of the issues raised by Sha’uwl and the importance of this teaching to myself, my questioners, and all salvation seekers.

Beginning from verse one of Romans 7, is where many of today's anti-Law readers of the Bible begin to get confused about Sha’uwl's teaching on the Law of Moshe. In this verse, the words “the law” are mentioned twice—once within parenthesis, and the other outside and after the parenthesis. Please get your Bible handy so as to follow me smoothly.

If in this verse we take out all what is stated within the parenthesis, as we are allowed to do in such a critical study without marring what Sha’uwl is teaching, then, we may ask what is meant by “the law” stated outside the parenthesis that Sha’uwl is referring to and in trying to draw similarity to “the law” stated within the parenthesis?

Obviously, Sha’uwl is referring to any kind of law that exists between two people that must bind them. Anyone bound by any law that exists between men is free of it only when that person dies or in the event that the other person dies before him, or when such a law is annulled by mutual agreement.

Sha’uwl introduced the words in parenthesis to teach this fact and to make an analogy to the Law of Moshe, which he believed his listeners were very knowledgeable about, had tested, and thereby trusted. So therefore, Sha’uwl's mention of “the law” within parenthesis, refers to “the law of Moshe”, while his mention of the same “the law” outside the parenthesis refers to any kind of law that binds two people together.

One must understand this first verse of Romans 7 very well and accept what I've said of it to be so, if one is to understand the teaching of this chapter in its entirety. This is because this first verse is, indeed, a preamble to the entire chapter. One must understand this verse as such, in order to be blessed by the teaching of Sha’uwl in this and all other chapters of the book, and even in all of his other letters that touch on the Law.

In fact, the KJV translators should have rendered Romans 7:1 to be thus: “Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that a (and not, the) law hath dominion over a man as long as he lives.”

If, at this point, anyone would want to disagree with me in these thoughts expressed, then he can only believe that the words “the law” mentioned in both in and out of parenthesis mean the same thing—the Law of Moshe! If it be so, then, our discourse must come to an abrupt end since that would emphatically be laying bare the fact that the Law of Moshe has power over any man insofar as he is alive—every time and anywhere.

For salvation seekers to fully accept my conclusions on this first verse of Romans 7, let us move with Sha’uwl to verse two, where he talks about one such law that exists between men that binds a woman to her husband.

Here too, the translators have made another little slip in their difficult task. In the first half of this verse, we read “by the law to her husband.” This, I find to be ambiguous.

Actually, this should have been translated as, “by the law of her husband” to remove any ambiguity. May Elohiym be praised; the translators somehow managed to correct themselves and ended this same verse with the appropriate translation, in the words—“she is loosed from the law of her husband.”

So then, in just two verses—one and two of Romans 7—we see two errors that readers can easily get themselves into, in taking every mention of “the law” to mean the Law of Moshe! Now, therefore, if a correction to this error in translation is never sought, it will forever confuse our understanding of Romans 7 and ultimately, no one will benefit from this great teaching of Sha’uwl. We observe with a great sigh of relief, however, that, in the verse three, what was said to be “the law” in the verse two, now becomes “that law”, specific to that law which binds a woman to her husband.

In verse four, things begin to get very interesting and profound—another “the law” comes in with reference to mention of one being in “the body of Yahushua”. Here, the mention of “the law” is again not in reference to the “law of Moshe” but to “the law of sin and death” that has been in Sha’uwl's discourse from earlier chapters of Romans. Our death to sin in our baptism into Yahushua makes it possible for us to completely break free from this “law of sin and death” and to be united with Yahushua—cf. Romans 6:2-14—as in the union of a woman to her husband.

“The law of sin and death”, which from time immemorial reigned in the members of the bodies of all men, is that law which every truly born anew person must be, and is, delivered from, by the power of the Savior's sacrifice when one expresses true and genuine faith in repentance and baptism into the name [Yahushua] of the Savior.

This deliverance from “the law of sin and death” then enables one to gain the union with Yahushua; as in a grafted relationship between any particular specie of a native tree and a foreign branch of the same specie and or in a marital union.

By extension of verse two earlier on studied, verse four must then mean that the born again person enters into “the law of Yahushua”, as the wife to, and of, one [Yahushua] who is raised from the dead, to live forever and forever.

Part III
Therefore, this marital law that binds the wife—any saved person—to Yahushua, [the Groom] must be in full force and effect, forever, insofar as Yahushua lives forever. This wife of Yahushua is free of “the law of Yahushua” as is the case too in any ordinary marriage, only when Yahushua dies—but praise to Elohiym, Yahushua is alive forever and forever.

In verses five and six, obviously, “the law” mentioned here is in reference to “the law of sin and death”. The context of these verses makes this indeed obvious. The “law of sin and death” is what all men were held sway to until the Law of Moshe was given by Elohiym—specifically to the children of Yisroel—to help keep this “law of sin and death” then ruling in a man’s body in check.

Note that, it is this same Law of Moshe that Yahushua obeyed throughout his life! He lived by it in its entirety and testified about it to his followers that it will never pass away until it is fulfilled. This same Law of Moshe also had a very good effect on the lifestyle of one NathaniEl, to the extent that Yahushua could testify of him as a true son of Yisroel who had no guile at all in him—cf.YahuKhanan (John) 1:47.

Again, this same Law of Moshe is what a young Hebrew ruler said he was able to keep all his youth, for which Yahushua wanted him never to stop doing, but to even do more, so as to earn eternal life—cf. Luq (Luke) 18:18-22.

Why then would any salvation seeker want to do less than what all his predecessors in the faith did and were rewarded with salvation?? Is that what living in the Grace of Elohiym means, or are people simply being lazy, deceived, and confused? Or is it that the grace of Elohiym means for Him to treat salvation seekers discriminatorily? Is Elohiym now a respecter of persons because we now live in a dispensation of grace?

From verses seven to nine, every mention of “the law” is in reference to the Law of Moshe. In verse ten to thirteen, whenever mention is made of “the commandment” it also always refers to the “Law of Moshe”. And then, in verse fourteen, “the law” is again in reference to the “Law of Moshe”.

In verse twenty one, we read of “a law” referring to a kind of law that works against one's capacity to do any good. Thus, this “a law” here in this reference, can only mean “the law of sin and death”. In verse twenty-two we see clearly mentioned for the first time, “the law of Elohiym” and this must be the same as “the Law of Moshe”.

And then, in verse twenty three, there is “another law in my members” which must be same as “the law of sin and death” that always wars against “the war of my mind” which also is the will or desire to do good—that is, “the law to do what is good”. Finally, mention is made again of “the law of sin” in this same verse and also in verse twenty-five, the last verse of the chapter.

So then, if we make a count of all these different kinds of laws that are mentioned in Romans 7, we would have the following: “the Law of Moshe”, “the law between any two people”, “the law of the husband”, “the law of sin and death”, “the law of Groom-Yahushua”, “another law in my members”, “the law of Elohiym (God)”, and “the commandment”.

So then, one must be very careful when reading Romans 7, in order to know what law is under consideration at any one point in time, since the many kinds of laws mentioned in this chapter, are all loosely termed “the law”. If the reader is not careful in his reading of this chapter of Romans, he can be confused by this loose terminology and then end up not being blessed by Sha’uwl's teaching.

Of all these kinds of laws listed, the one that is obviously dangerous to man's salvation and wellbeing, and from which he must be delivered, is “the law of sin and death”. To deliver mankind from the power of this law is the reason why Yahushua was sacrificed; and it is, therefore, this law of sin and death that he nailed to the stake (cross?) upon which he was sacrificed.

This law of sin and death, whenever present and in action in any human body, takes full dominion over all the members of that human body and, without having any mercy, forces it to sin, continually, never allowing it to even rest from the committing of sin!!

No members of the human body have any power over the dominion of “the law of sin and death” and so cannot refuse to sin; the body of the unsaved man, that is. The ruler of the law of sin over man is Lucifer, the arch Adversary of the Most High One, who will never let go of any man in his grips.

Yes, the unsaved human body does know assuredly that “the law of sin”, which has taken full control over all its members, will ultimately cause him to die a miserable death, physically. But then, even in the obvious scare of this death, he simply cannot help himself and stop sinning!! Some super being must come to his rescue and break him from the power and dominion of “the law of sin and death” and of Lucifer, the controller of this law.

And so, Elohiym, as a first measure, sent His holy and good law—the Law of Moshe—to the rescue of mankind from the tyranny and dominion of Lucifer and “the law of sin and death” so that all who would keep it would not die while it [the Law of Moshe] is in force! But of course, this Law of Elohiym was sent to only Yisroel.

When the Law of Moshe came, Lucifer, the controller of the law of sin, became very angry, simply because the Most High One had brought in a law to nullify his dominion over the slave-sinner, and so, taking occasion of the coming of the Law of Moshe, Lucifer raised his power and control over his subjects, full throttle!

The controller of “the law of sin”, always works to cause mankind to disobey Elohiym and so, with the coming of the good and holy Law of Moshe—which is in fact, the Law of Elohiym—he stepped up his works in all members of man's body in his bid to cause him to, all the more than previously, disobey the Law of Elohiym and ultimately bring about his death—both spiritually and physically.

Man then began to think that the coming of the Law of Moshe was a bad idea since it seemed to have done him no good—holiness wise. The coming of the Law of Moshe seemed to have taught man the full list of sins or those things which do not please Elohiym, and, by Lucifer acting with a mask behind this law, had his appetite to commit all sins on this list raised to the highest level.

But then, unknown to the sinner, it was Lucifer, the controller of the “law of sin and death”, using the Law of Moshe as a mask, who masterminded all what befell him and his hopelessness to fight and overcome sin, at the coming of the Law of Moshe.

It then seemed that the good and holy Law of Moshe was the guilty one, since it was in its coming that, the level of the sinning capacity of the sinner was raised to the highest limit and also that his committing of sin became more intense and regular.

Did the “the Law of Moshe”, therefore, do any harm to man? Not, at all. Was the coming of the Law of Moshe a curse to sinful man? Never; it rather did him good! For, how can a good and holy law from Elohiym have the capacity to do evil or harm to man?

Anyway, how could the Most High One give a bad or harmful thing to His firstborn child—Yisroel, His chosen people?? By experience, we know that not even our earthly fathers give us snakes when we need fish from them! And so, how can anyone think Elohiym gave a bad thing to us in the Law of Moshe?

Part IV
The fact is, “the law of Moshe” is “ordained unto life”, “holy, and just, and good” (Romans 7: 10, 12) and thus, can never do harm, to, or stand in the way of the salvation seeker—in being the one causing mankind to commit sin against Elohiym. Therefore, “the Law of Moshe”, the good, holy and life-giving Law of Elohiym, does not have to be taken away by the sacrifice of Yahushua. Rather, “the law of sin and death” is what must be taken away; and was indeed taken away, in and by the sacrifice and resurrection of Yahushua.

As said earlier, if there be any law that must be nailed to the stake upon which Yahushua was sacrificed, it must be “the law of sin and death”. To rescue mankind from this law of sin is what our one and only kinsman-redeemer—Yahushua—did for us in his sacrifice on Mt. Gulgotha. And this is all what the good news of the scriptures teaches us about our salvation in Yahushua and the love of Elohiym for us that compelled Him to send Yahushua to save us!!

At this point, let me ask a very simple question, which I believe all salvation seekers can comfortably answer: “Who is Yahushua?” If, for all the many answers one can give, one were to miss the one on the truth that Yahushua is the totality of the Word of Elohiym, made to become flesh—cf. YahuKhanan (John) 1:14, YahuKhanan Aleph (First John) 1:1-3—visible, tangible, and hearable—then, the one might just be a novice to the holy Scriptures or that the one's serious study of it might not as yet have started.

Yes, indeed, Yahushua is the full and complete Volume of the Ivrit (Hebrew) Word of Elohiym made or turned to become flesh to be seen, touched and heard; and can be inhabited or dwelt bodily by all saved and holy or born anew people!!

For those who have matured in their fellowship with Yahushua—the Word of Elohiym made flesh—they can even smell his sweet flagrance and enjoy his honey-sweet taste in their mouths; and also because they inhabit him, must manifest the totality of his being as the Word of Elohiym! So then, you don’t only live in a part of this Word of Elohiym or Him (Yahushua); you live in every part of Him and therefore must manifest all of this Word—the Law of Elohiym included!!

So then, Yahushua, the full and complete Volume of the Word of Elohiym, has within him, the Law of Moshe, which is the same as the Law of Elohiym! See? How then can one be living fully in Yahushua, as every born anew person must be, and not be dwelling inside or living by the Law of Moshe/Elohiym?

Thank and praise Elohiym; He sent Yahushua to come down to earth from Shamayim, to take out of man's body “the law of sin and death”. This taking away of sin out of a man's body, is the blessing and spiritual condition or state of all salvation seekers, who are truly begotten of the seed of Elohiym in the sacrifice of Yahushua—such people can no longer sin, cf. YahuKhanan Aleph 3:4-9, 5:18: having been delivered from the “law of sin and death”.

With “the law of sin and death” taken away, in the sacrifice of Yahushua, man is now free to obey all the laws of Elohiym to great gain—peace with Elohiym, comfort and eternal life here on earth, and eventually, the life with Him in Shamayim.

Now, since sin is the transgression of the law (of Moshe/Elohiym)—cf. YahuKhanan Aleph (First John) 3:4—with “the law of sin and death”out of the way for all who are truly saved in and by the sacrifice of Yahushua, salvation seekers can now obey all aspects of the Law of Moshe that are yet to be fulfilled while living in a state of rest and comfort in all fulfilled parts of this same law because Ruwakh HaKodesh of Elohiym who dwells in him empowers him to be able do so—cf. YahuKhanan 2:27!!

The very good and holy things that the Law of Moshe spelled out for the children of Yisroel to do, which they found very difficult to do, because of the presence and dominion of the law of sin in the members of their body, every man can now do, since the law of sin is overcome and taken out of his body by his understanding in and subscription to the power and values of the sacrifice of Yahushua.

Let me say that, for all the good and holy things in the Law of Moshe, just observing them even in the strictest manner cannot bring any salvation seeker the spiritually uplifting experience of being in Yahushua. Of course, life in the Law of Moshe could only bring its dedicated loyalist some spiritual uplifting but of nowhere comparable to that experienced in Yahushua, when Ruwakh HaKodesh of the Most High One comes to reside in the bodies of those saved in and by the sacrifice of His holiest Son.

In all the teachings of Sha’uwl on the Law of Moshe in his letters to the holy men of his day, he is consistent about one thing—the Law of Moshe, per se or of its self, cannot save a sinner!! Sha’uwl has taught in Romans, Galatians, Colossians, etc, that, since the Law of Moshe did not save Yisroel, but only came to them after their salvation or deliverance from bondage in Mitzrayim to be their guide to holiness, so also will it not bring anybody today into the born anew experience in Yahushua even by the person’s strictest observance of it!!

But then, since the Law of Moshe greatly aided Yisroel to live in his deliverance from this bondage unto perfection, so will this same law assist those salvation seekers today who are truly born anew to reach their ultimate destination if they do live by all and even the seemingly most insignificant parts of this law, that are yet to be fulfilled.

Nowhere in any of the letters of Sha’uwl does he teach that the holy people of the Most High One should discard the Law of Moshe because some people suppose these laws as having been nailed together with Yahushua to the stake of his sacrifice. That would be ridiculous and inconsistent with the teachings of Yahushua on the Law of Moshe and Sha’uwl's own lifestyle in relation to this law!

Of course, whatever ordinances that Sha’uwl mentions in Colossians 2:14 as having been taken out of our way and nailed by Yahushua himself to his stake, are what pertained to the Law of Moshe in the offering of blood-sacrifices and other ceremonial washings with water, to deal with the sins committed daily byYisroel.

This aspect of the Law of Moshe—referred to as ordinances—as difficult as it was to be perfectly obeyed, has now become fulfilled in the sacrifice of Yahushua, and so, all truly born anew people are freed of them and must now live in the power, blessing and comfort of this fulfillment.

Funny, that, even though this aspect of the Law of Moshe has been fulfilled in and by the sacrifice of Yahushua, thereby also rendering redundant the ministers of those ordinances—the Kohenim (priesthood?) of Aaron and Levi {cf. Ivriim (Hebrew) 7:5-12}—many salvation seekers today, who even err in believing that the Law of Moshe has been nailed to the stake in the sacrifice of Yahushua, are all too happy and zealous in paying tithes to people who project themselves and think to belong to this defunct Kohenim (priesthood) in this era of Grace!

Very funny that people who call themselves believers could show such attitudes; they believe they may nullify the tougher parts of the Law of Moshe so they will live by the easier parts that brings them wealth and fame! This is no mark of true believers of Yahushua, but simply of Pharisaic people!

For all the yet to be fulfilled parts of the Law of Moshe, all salvation seekers have the obligation to live under them, as Yahushua has said to his teachable talmidim, till the Master of the Harvest shall come to take to himself all who belong to him and reward those that are truly in his workforce.

It is therefore advisable for all salvation seekers to study the Word of Elohiym, to know assuredly, those parts of the Law of Moshe, that are yet to be fulfilled and to live in full commitment of these. Shalom aleikhem!
