If you have a question we haven’t covered or want to suggest a new topic, we’d love to hear from you. Our FAQ is always expanding as we continue to publish deeper studies and answer real questions from believers around the world.
No. Yeshua (Jesus) explicitly said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17).
To fulfill (Greek: plēroō) means to bring to fullness or to correctly interpret, not to end. Yeshua lived by the Torah perfectly and taught His followers to do the same (Matthew 5:19).
- No. Paul said plainly, “I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets” (Acts 24:14).
- He also took a Nazirite vow (Acts 21:26) to prove his obedience. Far from rejecting the Torah, Paul taught that the Law is “holy and righteous and good” (Romans 7:12).
- Yes. The Sabbath was established at creation (Genesis 2:3) and reaffirmed in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8–11).
- Yeshua kept the Sabbath (Luke 4:16), His disciples kept it (Acts 17:2), and the early Church continued to honor it. Nothing in Scripture changes the seventh day to the first.
- No. The Sabbath was given to mankind before Israel even existed (Genesis 2:3).
- Yeshua said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). The Hebrew word for man, adam, means all humanity.
- Yes. The Torah defines righteousness for everyone. In Isaiah 56, God blesses the foreigner who “keeps the Sabbath” and “holds fast to My covenant.”
- Paul wrote that Gentiles, once “strangers to the covenants of promise,” are now “fellow citizens” in Israel’s household (Ephesians 2:12–19).
- Being “under the law” refers to being under the penalty of sin, not under obedience.
- Paul says, “The law is not sin” but rather reveals sin (Romans 7:7). Through faith, believers are freed from sin’s condemnation, not from obedience to God’s commandments (Romans 6:14–15).
- Paul was defending believers who were being judged by pagan ascetics for keeping biblical festivals.
The Greek phrase “are a shadow of things to come” (Colossians 2:17) is present tense, showing these appointed times still have prophetic value.
- No. Salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9), but obedience is the fruit of faith.
- Just as Abraham was justified by faith (Genesis 15:6) and later proved his faith through obedience (Genesis 22), so must we.
- Grace forgives us when we break the law. The law teaches us what sin is (Romans 3:20).
Without Torah, there is no definition of sin or need for grace. Grace does not erase the law; it empowers us to walk in it (Titus 2:11–12).
- Yes. God never calls food unclean—He calls certain animals unclean. Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 define what is food.
- Yeshua never abolished these distinctions, and Peter’s vision in Acts 10 was about Gentiles, not diet.
- We cannot. Yeshua said the entire Law hangs on two commands: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37–40).
- The Torah teaches how to love—how to honor, forgive, serve, and live in holiness.
