The Standard? Who Is The Standard? by elated177: 2:30pm On May 11, 2020
El Elohe Yahshrael!

Luke 11:37-54
37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.

42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.

43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.

44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.”

45 One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”

46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.

47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’ 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.

52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.


Even while reclining at the table of the Pharisee, probably eating his food and drinking his wine, our Master, Yahushua the Messiah, still condemned their sinful ways. He pointed out their hypocrisy without any iota of fear or favour. The Pharisees couldn't worm their hypocritical way into the heart of our Master, even with food and drink.

Indeed, the ways of our Father, YHVH of Hosts, are right. He does not accept bribes or show partiality. (Deut 10:17-18).

There's not doubt, whatsoever, that Yahushua the Messiah, our Master, is one with the Father. The only begotten Son of the Aleph and the tav. The righteous Branch. The only way, the truth and the life. (John 14:6).

Our Master, Yahushua, never compromised. His saints shouldn't compromise.

As we, His saints, continue to traverse the path of righteousness, which our Father has marked out for us, let us fix our eyes on our Master. (Heb 12:1-2). He is the standard. No man is or could ever be the standard. Let us walk as He walked.(1 John 2:6). Know the Truth, speak the Truth and live the Truth. Yahushua the Messiah is the Truth.


El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu Yah!

The standard is the law and the prophets
Matthew 5:18_20
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. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus is addressing Jews in those verses not all believers!
The Jews are to study the laws and prophets in order to know how they will WORK with the Messiah who will teach them the way of holiness.
According to Moses whom God used to give them the laws it's not those laws that will lead them to salvation rather it's the Messiah {Deuteronomy 18:18-19} so the laws will lead them to the Messiah while the Messiah will lead them to salvation which means after the Messiah has come they no longer need those laws! Galatians 3:19-25
When Jesus uttered that statement the Jews listening were misconstruing his message as it was as if he was writing off their laws and prophets, all the actions of the prophets now seems as if they were evil. Take for instance a prophet of God in ancient Israel will pray for Israelites soldiers to go and fight their enemies but Jesus is now saying they must love and pray for their enemies {Matthew 5:43-48} an Israelite prophet will curse anyone who cross their path or insults them but Jesus is saying they shouldn't curse anyone {Luke 6:28} an Israelite prophet will stand to approve the killing of anyone who breaks the law but Jesus is telling them that they shouldn't do so.
All these amounted to their concluding that Jesus is against the laws and the prophets.
However what Jesus came to establish is not the old Constitution guiding that nation to know him rather he came to gather all the people who are interested in knowing the true God globally under one umbrella {John 10:16} that's why the constitution Israel was using before his time must be changed {Jeremiah 31:33} otherwise it will be impossible to unite all faithful people throughout the earth as the constitution and traditions differs from nation to nation! John 4:24

So Jesus is the standard not the laws or the prophets!

Jesus never refer to his followers as "believers".
So please tell me where he address "Jews" and not "believers" in Matthew 5:18_20.

And the "Jews" are not in bondage like you "believers" that need a "messiah".
Every Jewish person knows that Messiah simply means a Jewish king, not someone that will give them salvation.

Where in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 talks about messiah leading them to salvation?
Where in Jeremiah 31:33 talks about changing of law?
You better know your verses when you talk to me 😂

The Jews don't even know Paul, talkless of knowing the letters he wrote to Galatians, so I wonder why you quoting Galatians here.

Maxinthehouse why don't we fist trash who Paul is and who made him an apostle.
Let's see your level, shall we?

Were you blind before quoting me with your nonsense?
Next time don't drop verses that are unrelated to what you are saying, try it with others not me.

You are ignorant of what you are teaching, you are just regurgitating what your watch masters taught you.

I ask you again, mention one place where Jesus refer to his followers as "believers".
And please tell me where he address "Jews" and not "believers" in Matthew 5:18_20.


Ordinary what "Messiah" means you don't know, you think "Jews" are condemned like you looking for a Jewish man as savior.
