Please take a really close look at Matthew 5:17-19!

SOMETHING TO PONDER: Matthew 5:17-19 was never about losing atonement but about gaining rank in the Kingdom of Elohim. Those who break the least of the Commandments do get into the Kingdom; but will be considered to be the “least” in the Kingdom…

Note Matthew 5:19 which says: "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." This is a major key, because it is talking about YHWH's commands – the ones commanded in Torah (the five Books of Moses) and taught by Yeshua.

First Century believers knew Yeshua was “haTorah”; and today, more and more believers have come to understand that to follow Yeshua (the “Living Torah”) implies keeping the Torah, as the Torah is the Living Word of God. Yeshua became the embodiment of those living rules; hence, he was and is "haTorah!" (See Isaiah 55:1-3; John 1:1 thru 14; 6:51; 6:63; and 14:6.)

Because Yeshua followed Adonai YHWH's teaching perfectly, he could become 'a lamb without blemish and without mockery' (1 Peter 1:19-20). He didn't sin (for sin is the transgression of the law/Torah (1 John 3:4).

The apostle Paul still, asks us: “Does it follow that we abolish Torah by this trusting? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, we confirm Torah.” Later, he concludes: 'Wherefore the Torah [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. (See Romans 7:12; 3:31.)

And Romans 8:4 says "So that the righteousness of Torah might be fulfilled in us, since it is not in the flesh that we walk, but in the Spirit." The first believers in Yeshua were still "zealous for Torah" (Acts 21:20), as were the gentiles, who were taught weekly by the Jewish apostles (Acts 15:21).

So ... as you have surely realized by now, many texts written by the apostles have been wrongly interpreted! Yeshua even says he came NOT to destroy (Matthew 5:17), but to fulfill (do) Torah perfectly; and all nations should be taught what Yeshua taught the disciples (Matthew 28:20).

Please begin to understand that Yeshua's death did NOT abolish YHWH's Torah; he martyred himself on our behalf as a “sin sacrifice ”(against which there is no law!).  His divine blood abolished our need to kill innocent animals to atone for sin!

So yes, it is a VERY good idea to NOT ignore the Torah commands, as Matthew 5:19 says: "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."
