Tora! Tora! . . . Torah!

A New Torah: “Tree of Death”
A new version of the Old Testament Torah has been released recently. Accompanying commentary notes professes to purge the Old Testament record of certain historical inaccuracies. It is not a faithful commentary on the Law; it is a commentary upon the current state of Judaism.
Did the Law of Moses Continue until A.D. 70?

Divorce and Civil Law
Divorce and remarriage are serious moral issues. The law of God, as made known in the New Testament, is the standard of truth that regulates the institution of marriage.

Are We Under Law or Grace?
A significant group of misguided souls alleges that the “grace” of Jesus Christ has dispensed with the need for “law.” This “antinomian” ideology is designed to throw the mantle of fellowship around those who have not obeyed the Lord in the process of becoming a Christian. The adversarial conflict that some see between “grace” and “law” is false.
Burden-bearing: It’s the Law
Are law and love incompatible? Not according to Paul. We fulfill the law of Christ when we love others like Jesus loved us.

Through Galatians 6:2, Christ is calling you to help lighten your brother’s burden for the sake of his soul.
