Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? Matthew 15:3

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Mark 7:13

This law will never change. I am the LORD! Leviticus 7:36 [CEV]

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor mamzers,  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God 1Co 6:9-10

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer [shall be] abomination, Proverbs 28:9

But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest tittle of The Torah may be dropped out. Luke 16:17 [red letters]

But we know that the Torah is good, if a man use it lawfully;1Ti 1:8

For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the Torah: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision, Romans 2:25

Do we then make void The Torah through faith? By no means: but we establish The Torah, Romans 3:31

But the Torah is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good. Romans 7:12

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?, 2 Corinthians 6:14

Now we command you, brethren, on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us, 2 Thessalonians 3:6

Be sure of this, that no fornicator, or mamzer, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God Ephesians 5:5

*see pleroo.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Gen 6:9

Did God choose Noah because he claimed that race mixing was a right, or privilege?  No.  God chose Noah because he was racially pure.

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. Gen 26:5

Jam 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Jam 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

Jam 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Jam 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Jam 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Jam 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin. Neh 13:26-27

Did Solomon sin by worshipping foreign gods?   No.  He sinned by marrying non-Israelite women.

Then tell the people of Israel that anyone who curses God must suffer the consequences and be put to death. Any Israelite or any foreigner living in Israel who curses the LORD shall be stoned to death by the whole community. Leviticus 24:15-16

If a man commits adultery with the wife of an Israelite, both he and the woman shall be put to death, Leviticus 20:10

Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness, Proverbs 30:20

What proof do we have that Jesus intended by His Crucifixion for God's Law the Torah to be either fulfilled or written in our hearts, both of which are taken today to literally mean abolish?  It's only through ingenuous but erroneous interpretations of the following Scriptures (Deuteronomy 4:8, Jeremiah 7:22, Galatians 3:19,  Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:14, and Hebrews 10:8) that such "proof" exists.  But these Scriptures can [and must] also be understood to mean exactly the opposite of these novel interpretations which contradict and discredit Jesus' own well documented, clearly understood, and widely known words.

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee [Abraham] and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. Gen 17:7

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, [and] with his seed after him. Gen 17:19

Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 1Ch 16:16-17

Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Psa 105:9-10

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:16

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Gal 4:22-23

For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. Romans 9:3-5

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. Isaiah 10:22  

Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: Romans 9:27

Jeremiah 7:22-23

Jer 7:22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

This is perhaps the most egregious misuse and abuse of Scripture of the Holy Bible because Jeremiah is the last person in the world who would have advocated the abolition of The Torah.  He's the only prophet who had the "pleasure" of living long enough to see his prophecies fulfilled right before his very eyes, with the killing of 180,000 and the captivity of 100,000 Israelites by the Assyrians, and the killing of King Zedekiah's two sons before his eyes before they were put out.  His warnings to the Israelites for 40 years before were that precisely this would happen if they conntinued to refuse to uphold God's Law, in exactly the same manner as the above list of excuses for being so stubborn about God's Law.   To presume that this Scripture proves that Jeremiah refuted God's Law is to trivialize every word he wrote and said and every single one of his accomplishments.

It's just like a child who, when his father says "I am going to put you on restriction for six months if you lie one more time", concludes that this means that he is now free to steal his neighbor's bicycle.  In this Scripture, Jeremiah is not stating that God did not intend for the Torah to be upheld.  He was merely reminding and warning the Israelites that merely providing the gifts of thanks to God (which are completely voluntary) didn't fulfill all the requirements to "walk in all the ways that I have commanded you".  iow, Jeremiah wasn't asserting that gifts to God were no longer possible, only that there was more to "walk[ing] in all the ways that I have commanded you" than just these gifts.

Romans 7:12 - Wherefore the Torah is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Romans 7:22 - For I delight in the Torah of God after the inward man.

Matthew 5:18-19 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he 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.

James 2:10 - For whosoever shall keep the whole Torah, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

1 John 2:3-5 - And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

"The curse of the law" referred to in Galatians 3:13 are "the charges that were against us for disobeying the Law of Moses", referred to in Colossians 2:14, not God's Law or The Torah itself, nor even the traditions of the elders being pushed by the Pharisees.  As the following from Colossians 2:14 illustrates, it is only past transgressions of The Torah by the House of Israel referred to here, not The Torah itself.

Ephesians 2:15

This Scripture is also used by judeochristians to "prove" that Christ did away with, fulfilled, abolished, or wrote in our hearts, God's Law [read: the Torah], but as this critique illustrates, nothing could be further from the truth.  Where there are other errors in this critique, it's important to note that it's correct where it says that "the law of commandments contained in the ordinances" refers to the jewish law, or traditions of the elders, or paradosis, which later became the written Talmud, rather than The Torah itself:

He forgave us all our misdeeds, canceled the bond which which stood against us, with its requirements, and put it out of our way when he nailed it to the cross. [Goodspeed]

And He Himself has blotted out, in His commandments, the handwriting of our debts which was set in it against us, so He has borne it up out of the midst, and He nailed it fast to His gallows-cross [translated directly from Aramaic]

Where to those unversed in the Holy Bible  it might appear from the KJV that God's Law itself was "nailed to the cross", the CEV demonstrates that it was ONLY the prior "charges that were against us for disobeying the Law of Moses". This is the "curse of the law" referred to by Paul in Galatians 3:13, God's reason for divorcing the House of Israel, which Christ died for, enabling God to remarry the House of Israel. To proclaim that Christ died for our future sins, or that He died just to abolish God's Law [read: The Torah] is to effectively proclaim God's Law null and void, an abomination before God.

Jesus was very clear about the distinction between parasitic jewish law [read: "paradosis", Strong's #3862, which He also called "the tradition of the elders"] being imposed by the Pharisees and Saducces, and the commandment of God [read: "entole", Strong's #1785, or The Torah] which the parasitic jews of the day prevented Israelites from following, just as the parasitic jews do today.

Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Matthew 15:3 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

Rather than referring to this jewish law as "commandments" of men, most modern translators refer to it as "precepts" or "injunctions" of men, which adds clarity to this distinction between the parasitic jewish law and our God-given Torah.  However, this Scripture does not even begin to proclaim that the parasitic jewish law was nailed to the cross--only that the prior offenses by the House of Israel , as of the time of Jesus' birth, against the God-givenTorah (which caused God to divorce the House of Israel--not the House of Judah), were.

Hebrew 9

This comparison of the various translations of Hebrews 9 reveals the biases, prejudices, and hidden agendas of the translators.

When the added words "for all" are removed, it's a bit more difficult to presume that this is meant to be "for all time", making it ludicrous to argue that Christ Himself ever argued that His "sacrifice" would be the last Gift Offering to God that Israelites would ever have the opportunity to make.  If Christ Himself intended to end "animal sacrifices", He certainly would not have participated in a Passover which REQUIRED an "animal sacrifice":

Whether or not you believe that the Torah is outdated or outmoded, whether or not you understand, agree, or appreciate the power of Gift Offerings to God [called "animal sacrifices" by the detractors], whether or not you think McDonalds is a better dietary system than The Torah, you cannot deny that this very efficient system eliminated the need for usury, propagated the Israelite laws, traditions, and customs extremely well, and enabled the Twelve Tribes of Israel to become the biggest success story in recorded human history.  For what reason would we now want to believe that the author of Hebrews hinted that these words from Christ, who said "But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest tittle of The Torah may be dropped out", were proof that He intended to virtually abolish these most important and trusted and proven precepts of the Torah?

It's incredibly silly and naive for modern Israelites to believe that a putative Christian nation could even survive without upholding God's Law [read: The Torah, or the First Five Books of the Holy Bible].  To fail to comprehend that refusal to uphold God's Law can lead only to the imposition of man's law, the traditions of the elders, and every other totalitarian scheme ever devised by jews and man, and the ultimate destruction of our society, completely explains the degenerate moral state of our nation today.

Because we have steadfastly refused to uphold God's 617 simple laws, we have more than 22,000 laws to address just gun control alone.  No lawyer, not even 70% of the world's supply of lawyers, much less any ordinary citizen, is even capable of remembering much less understanding the labyrinth of laws that have been imposed on this nation only because we stedfastly refuse to uphold God's 617 Laws.

We were heirs to the world's best system of justice, and tossed it in the trash heap of history, for what reason?  The "easy way out"?  To satisfy jews and "liberals"?  Because we listened to amoral judeochristian preachers and pastors and other children of the devil?  Because we can't find three wise men and a virgin?

The following Scripture from Leviticus commands Israelites to follow God's Law *forever*, "wherever they are", because "I am the LORD", so by what rationale are we now permitted to determine which of God's Laws was "fulfilled" or "written on our hearts" [read: abolished], and for what reason would we insist that Christ came to destroy even one tittle of God's Law when?:

Lev 3:17 No Israelite may eat any fat or any blood; this is a rule to be kept forever by all Israelites wherever they live.

Lev 6:18 The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified.

Lev 7:34 For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right forever from the children of Israel.

Lev 10:9 Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order forever through all your generations.

[Yet the abomination before God called the Catholic Church serves wine in its tents].

Lev 10:15 Let them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right forever, as the Lord has given orders.

Lev 16:29 And let this be an order to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, Israelites by birth and Israelites from other lands who are living among you:

[Which Israelite or Christian celebrates July 10th?]

Lev 16:31 It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order forever.

Lev 17:7 And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them forever, through all their generations.

Lev 19:20 "If a slave woman is the recognized concubine of a man and she has not been paid for and freed, then if another man has sexual relations with her, they will be punished, but not put to death, since she is a slave.

Lev 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that sacrifice any of his children unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

Lev 20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Lev 20:10 If a man commits adultery with the wife of an Israelite, both he and the woman shall be put to death.

Lev 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Lev 20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

Lev 20:13 If a man has sexual relations with another man, they have done a disgusting thing, and both shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death.

Lev 20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

Lev 20:16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Lev 20:27 "Any man or woman who consults the spirits of the dead shall be stoned to death; any of you that do this are responsible for your own death."

Lev 21:9 If a priest's daughter becomes a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she shall be burned to death.

Lev 23:14 And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule forever through all your generations wherever you are living.

Lev 23:21 And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule forever through all your generations wherever you are living.

Lev 23:31 You may not do any sort of work: this is an order forever through all your generations wherever you may be living.

Lev 23:41 And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule forever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.

Lev 24:3 Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule forever through all your generations.

Lev 24:14 "Take that man out of the camp. Everyone who heard him curse shall put his hands on the man's head to testify that he is guilty, and then the whole community shall stone him to death.

Lev 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

Lev 24:17 "Any who commit murder shall be put to death,

Lev 25:45-46 And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property. And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants forever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.

John 8:5 Now Moses in The Torah commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

John 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

John 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

John 8:9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

John 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

If we were to take this passage to mean that Jesus had intended to abolish The Torah, to do away with the penalty for violating The Torah, or to otherwise change The Torah or the Ten Commandments, then we must call Christ a LIAR when, according to all five of the following, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul, He said:

	Do not think that I am come to destroy The Torah, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fully preach, Matthew 5:17
	You know the commandments: `Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.' Mark 10:19
	The Torah and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force. But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest tittle of The Torah may be dropped out. Luke 16:16-17
	But these people who have no knowledge of The Torah are cursed ...  Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done? John 7:49 and 7:51
	Do we then make void The Torah through faith? By no means: but we establish The Torah, Romans 3:31

The above Scripture would be in conflict with itself if we were to believe that Christ meant to say "Do not think that I am come to destroy The Torah, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to abolish it."  It's consistent only when the Greek word "pleroo" is translated as "fully preach", or even "amplify" or "magnify".  But every single known English translation of the Holy Bible translates it as "fulfill", which by the current understanding of the word "fulfill" convolutes Christ's words and discredits his entire mission statement.   The context of both the Old and New Testament is proof enough that Christ came to uphold [read: fully preach] The Torah, not to fulfill [read: abolish] it.
