So do you not read or teach from any of the New Testament books? Are Galatians and Colossians not worthwhile to you?
ABSOLUTELY! I study the 1st century writings along with the Torah and the Prophets every week. They are inseparable in the eyes of YHVH. In His eye they are but one book, Genesis to Revelation, no new, no old, all current and of great relevance. Matthew to Revelation is the testimony of Messiah and Genesis to Malachi contains the doctrine and the prophesy of a coming Messiah that would redeem the house of Israel and graft the 2 broken branches back into the one “Tree of Life”, the “One House of YHVH”.
Messiah told us that “The testimony of Messiah is the Spirit of prophesy”. Well, if one wants to really know him and understand his words then one must look to where that prophesy/witness/testimony began and then start from there, not in the back of the book. The prophesy/witness/testimony begins in Genesis 1:1 with the Alef-Tav(Alpha-Omega) and continues throughout. The only problem is that the Alef-Tav was never translated so we would know where Messiah appears as the spoken and written “Word” in Torah and the Prophets. I also find it interesting that so much of what is said int he 1st century writings is nothing but quotes from the Torah and Prophets. Sure there are obvious places where Messiah and the apostles tell us who they are quoting from, but there are too numerous to mention places where that fact has been kept concealed. That is concealed to ones who do not study the way YHVH instructs us to study.
This week's 1 century study brings us to the book of Matthew where once again, the hidden/untranslated Alef-Tav appears a a messenger of YHVH in the Torah portion of the study. As I said, the sections of the bible are inseparable and they are but one complete book and if one wishes to understand the later part of the book and who the players are, then one must begin “in the beginning” where it all began while also studying from HIS perspective and HIS language. Zeph 3:9 "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the YHVH, to serve him with one consent."
Correction ... ON THE CONTRAIRE, WE DO READ FROM THE 1ST CENTURY WRITINGS!
