Topical Teachings – Matthew’s Musings, Law vs Grace: The Law Wasn’t the Problem – The Priesthood Was

For nearly two thousand years, Christians have argued over Law and Grace. But what if we've been asking the wrong question? The issue may not be Torah versus Grace at all, but the difference between the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law, and the change in priesthood that took place with the coming of Yahusha. In this teaching we go back to Abraham, Genesis 15, Sinai, the covenant Israel made with Yahweh, the Levitical priesthood, and the promise of a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Then we follow that thread through Galatians and Hebrews. Why does Paul say the law was added until the Seed should come? Why does Hebrews say that when the priesthood is changed, there is also a change of the law? And what does Hebrews mean by the “time of reformation”? Most importantly, did Yahusha abolish the Torah; or did He restore something that had been lost? Maybe the question was never simply LAW OR GRACE? Maybe we should be asking: Which covenant? Which priesthood? Which administration? And what exactly changed when Yahusha came?
