The answer is simple: Because Christianity (borne out of Catholicism) has effectively twisted the Word of Yahweh (the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) and turned it into something completely unrecognizable....

Hold on - we're not trying to be mean here! We're just trying to get your attention. The thing is, we are in the end times as outlined in the Books of Daniel and Revelation, and it won't be much longer before Yeshua's (Jesus') return. Many of your Christian brethren have already realized this and opted to leave the "milk" of the church in order to pursue a true relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob before it's too late. Check this out:
Matthew 5: 17 Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah - not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot (words/commands) and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P'rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Has everything happened that must happen? Have heaven and Earth passed away yet? Since when does the word "complete" (or "fulfill) mean "abolished"? Why would God abolish His own original divine teachings which He said were to last forever? Did Jesus come to make a liar out of YHWH, God the Father?

But Romans 10:4 tells us that Christ is the "end of the Law!"
No, it doesn't. That is just another gross mistranslation from the Greek! Please click the Torah to discover why!

Here's the thing: The "Old Testament" is God's Word; The "New Testament" is about God's Word. One can be "saved" by believing in the Messiah, but one cannot possibly understand God until one is firmly rooted in Torah.
Conveniently forgetting that "Jesus" was the SON, sent by God, Christianity has pushed our Creator whose Name is YHWH (Yahweh) into the background and insisted that Jesus has somehow usurped all of God's power and "nailed to the cross" all of His original teachings/instructions. Not only that, but they changed the Messiah's name along with the dates of His birth, death and resurrection, and removed all traces of His Jewishness.
Please read the following very carefully: Yeshua (His given Hebrew Name which means, "Yahweh is Salvation" while "Jesus" means nothing in particular), was a Torah observant Jew who kept all the Biblical Feasts and the seventh day Sabbath. Contrary to popular belief, He was not born on December 25th; He was born on the first day of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) which always falls in the September/October time frame on our Gregorian calendars. His exact date of death according to the Bible was Nisan 14 - Passover - and He rose three days later on Saturday evening, not on a Sunday. God gave us seven Biblical Feasts which He said believers were to keep forever, and Yeshua has so far only fulfilled the first four....and yet Christians have chosen to ignore them and instead, celebrate their man-made "holy days" of Christmas and Easter - both of which are steeped in paganism (more on this in the articles below)....
Despite all this, Christians (many of whom believe there's more than just one way to heaven thanks to the Oprahs and others in this world who bend in whatever direction the wind blows!) arrogantly believe THEY have the market cornered on Truth and put down the Jews - who OBEY God by keeping His Torah, His seventh day Sabbath and His Biblical Feasts - by making statements such as this one, found on a Christian website: Even with the presence of God in their lives, the ancient Hebrews of the Bible were still just as sinful as the Greeks. They turned their backs on God all through history. Even today, Israel as a nation, rejects Jesus Christ. They are a nation that does not know God.
Of course the Jews are just as sinful as everybody else! But to insinuate that "Jews don't know God" is an ignorant and untrue statement, because believing Jews OBEY Torah which reveals exactly who God is; whereas Christians have borrowed the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and effectively twisted Him into someone unrecognizable by ignoring Him and insisting His Laws were abolished by a Son whose name, and dates of birth, death and resurrection were changed - never mind that each of these things are foreshadowed in the Biblical Feasts that God commanded us all to keep "forever"....

Contrary to popular belief, Yeshua never, ever said He came to abolish the Torah, which consists of God's original divine teachings; He came to abolish man-made, rabbinical ideology!
|
When Yeshua returns, He will be teaching GOD'S WORD which was revealed through Torah (the first five Books which contain all the "thou shalt and shalt nots" and "thus saith the Lord" verses) and once again personally demonstrating how much off the mark man's opinions are - and thus He will be abolishing Christian traditions and the opinions and ideologies of your respective pastors who are just as off the mark as many of the rabbis of old who had added to and/or taken away from the Word and turned YHWH's commands into a burden....
Many protest that this was "just for the Jews," but we would ask you to please think about this: Where did God ever say He was going to treat His adopted children any different from His natural ones? Torah is our only blueprint for moral, holy and godly living! The ONLY thing Yeshua "nailed to the cross" was the requirement to kill an innocent animal to atone for our sins, and that in no way negates the need for Torah! God Himself said that anyone who wants to follow the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is to be Torah observant:

Please think about this, too: Back when God created the world and made the seventh day holy (Genesis 2:2-3), He wasn't talking to the Jews because there were no Jews back then! Adam and Eve, to whom He gave His first rules weren't Jews, and neither were Cain and Abel who offered the first sin sacrifices. And Noah, who also was not a Jew, knew the difference between "clean and unclean" animals...(Genesis 4:3-5) Please read Before the Law of Moses.

Numbers 15: 13 "'Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when he brings an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 14 For the generations to come, whenever an alien or anyone else living among you presents an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, he must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.'"
Please re-read the above in case you missed it: Non-Jews/Hebrews are "aliens"/foreigners. God was very specific what what non-Jews/Hebrews were to do: The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come....It could not be any clearer.

Does that mean keeping the Torah will "save" you? Of course not! The ONLY thing that will get you into heaven is belief on the shed blood of Christ, our Final SIN Sacrifice! But that in no way negated the commands to obey God's divine instructions.
|
But once you have the Holy Spirit, you will want to please God - and pleasing Him means obeying His Torah which will keep you from sinning! (Remember - sin is the transgression of the Law/Torah!) Doesn't that make more sense than making up your own rules about a Savior who never once heard the name of "Jesus" during His entire lifetime on Earth?
Jeremiah 31:32 tells us that Yahweh made His "new covenant" with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah; He did not make a "new covenant" with the Gentiles because He did not have an "old covenant" with the Gentiles. He did, however, extend His grace and mercy to the Gentiles who, once they become believers in Yeshua, automatically become part of "Israel"! And God told Israel: "I give you good instruction: Do not forsake my Torah" (Proverbs 4:2). And Paul reiterated this when he said: Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. (Romans 3:31)
If the above has peaked your curiosity, then we invite you to read the articles below and verify in the Bible everything we've espoused; don't just take our word for it. If some of the articles come across as blunt or harsh, it's because many Christians have attacked this website - some have even sent death threats! - and so we are presenting God's Truth without bothering to mince words. You have the choice to take it or leave it. In the end, God Himself leaves it up to us as to whether or not we choose to obey Him, or his enemy....
