Unlocking Galatians Hebraically – Part 5

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty in which Moshiach has made us free, and be not harnessed again under the yoke of slavery. Liberty to covenant Torah, not lawlessness;  nor a return to the Judaism’s one Torah, torah, torah doctrine either! Galatians 5:2-4 Behold, I Shaul say to you, that if you become britmilah, Moshiach shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is brit-milah, that he is a debtor to do the whole Torah. 4 Moshiach has become of no effect to you… To keep the whole torah is used as a negative assessment by Shaul/Paul  equivalent to Yahusha being of no use to you, you have been severed from Messiah! How do you deal with that as a Messianic? Messianic’s have to admit to ‘Two Torah’s’, or at minimum a ‘division of Torah’, the problem is they use extra biblical theory: ‘Written Law’ vs. ‘Oral Law’ to sooth this verse and accomplish that means!  There is “Two Torah’s”  but it’s the Book of the Law and Book of the Covenant based upon textual evidence – it’s in the bible; Torah and Brit in Hebrew and Greek, Masoretic, LXX and NT Greek! Shaul/Paul states that we’re not obligated to keep the whole Torah as understood by the Jews of the day,  but to keep the whole Torah as understood by Abraham. Galatians 5:3 And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Torah. Because Galatians demands your hermeneutics connect back to Abraham and we know Abraham was righteous and kept YHWH’s torah – ‘Book of the Covenant’ torah and never knew a Levite and never encountered the ‘Book of the Law’ torah! Circumcision YHWH had attached physical circumcision (Genesis 17) to that Genesis 15 ‘Promise-Guarantee’ Covenant. Once the ‘Answer’ which came 430 years later at Exodus 19 – the Book of the Covenant, was broken;  it broke the ‘Promise’ also taking out the Covenant sign of circumcision required as the entrance sign – into what? These now broken covenants? Look at the evidence: Joshua 5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt (Exodus 32 till Joshua 5:5), them they had not circumcised. Joshua 5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed … Think of it; before the Golden Calf Covenant break of Exodus 32 (prior to the 40 year wilderness lapse Joshua 5:5) Physical Circumcision is the Premier Covenant entrance sign – you’re not in the covenant without it. They had broken the Covenant – there was no point. There was no point to circumcise. There was no un-defiled covenant requiring circumcision to enter into! YHWH’s Genesis 12 ‘oath’ didn’t require any human responsibility on their part (including circumcision) and not by the covenant at Genesis 15 (now broken) that did – connected to Genesis 17. Observing Passover, wearing Tzitzit for the next 40 years with uncircumcised Kids. There is a very Torah reason why Shaul’s/Paul’s New Testament position on uncircumcision is correct: 10 points: Genesis 12 is YHWH’s ‘Oath’ to the uncircumcised Abram that required nothing from Abraham or his descendants (including circumcision). Genesis 15 is the ‘Guarantee’ Covenant guaranteeing ‘The Promise’ already made at Genesis 12. The Genesis 15 Covenant carried a ‘death position’ and was then attached by YHWH to a ‘covenant sign’ circumcision (Genesis 17). The Genesis 15 ‘Promise’ required an ‘Answer’ which was ‘The Book of the Covenant’ that Abraham’s descendants accepted and agreed to was that ‘Answer’. The ‘Book of the Covenant’ made Israel a nation ‘of’  Melchizedek Priests. They broke the Covenant in just about 40 days. They defiled themselves and were no longer eligible to be Melchizedek Priests. In lieu of complete annihilation – YHWH granted them to be a nation ‘with’ Levitical Priests from one tribe and put them under the ‘Book of the Law’, the sch
