Romans from a Torah Covenant Perspective – Chapter 12 Part 1

Romans12:1 I beg you therefore, Yisraelite brothers, by the mercy of vuvh, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to vuvh, which is your act of reasonable temple service. Romans12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the ongoing renewing of your mind, that you may discern what is that tov, acceptable, and even the perfect, will of vuvh. Romans12:3 For I say, through the grace/unmerited favor given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he should; but to think soberly, as vuvh has dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans12:4 For as we have many members in the one body of Yisrael, and all members have not the same role: Romans12:5 So we, being many, are one body of Yisrael in the Moshiach, and each one members one of another. Romans12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace/ unmerited favor that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the measure of faith; Romans12:7 Or, some service, let us serve: or he that teaches, let him teach. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Ephesians 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. V.1 is reminiscent of the early Ebionite Nazirene disciples creed where they rejected all animal sacrifices – V.1 I beg you therefore, Yisraelite brothers, by the mercy of vuvh, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to vuvh, which is your act of reasonable temple service. Gk: “humōn logikos latreia.” ‘It’s the logical temple service for you’. “latreia” is wrapped up in how we’re to act in worship and service in relation to Yahusha’s redemptive work at Passover Exodus 12:25, 26 – Heb ăbôdâh – עֲבֹדָה. This words genesis is prior to any manmade tabernacle or temple construction. Epiphanius writes: The Ebionites “do not accept Moses’ Pentateuch in its entirety; certain sayings they reject… stating Christ has revealed this to me, and will blespheme most of the Levitical legislation” (Panarion 30.18.7-9).   Epiphanius then quotes the Gospel of the Ebionites/Hebrews where Yahusha declares: “I have come to destroy the sacrifices” (Panaron 30.16.5). In the Gospel of the Nazirenes Yeshua said, “For they, making a god of their belly, sacrificed to their God the innocent creatures of the earth, in place of the carnal nature within themselves. And eating of their flesh and drinking of their blood to their own destruction, corrupted their bodies and shortened their days, even as the Gentiles who did not know the truth, or who knowing it, have changed it into a lie.” Now we understand the words of Paul when he commanded the Gentiles to “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature” (Colossians 3:5 )?   Or the requirement that “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Romans 8:13):   Which means that we must transform the beastly, carnal nature, into a fit sacrifice on the altar of our Inner Living Temple. The Daniel deception Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. (The place of יהוהs sanctuary is Yahusha.) Daniel 8:11 in all known English translations has translated the
Hebrew word ‘Ruwm’ (Strong’s 7311) as “taken away”.  This word’s meaning comes from the context of ‘rising’ or ‘raising’ and has more often than not been translated ‘exalt’ or ‘exalting’. The word ‘Ruwm’ has been used 209 times in the Old Testament. The overwhelming support of the interpretation of this word shows us that it means
