We must build all our belief upon what came before not our current customs.

And we must do so knowing Scripture was built the same way. The Torah was written based upon the teachings of what came before from all righteous servants of YAH. From Adam to Seth and from Enoch to Noach. From Shem to Abraham. From Isaac to Jacob and from Jacob to Moses. The truth was handed down till it came to Moses who codified it all and clarified it in the Torah for everyone and for always

Joshua and Samuel and Ezra and Nehemiah, Isaiah and Jeremiah and Malachi and David and Obediah and all the other righteous servants of YHWH wrote of the implementation of the Torah among the people of Israel and of their lack of obedience.

They wrote to call back the recreant Israelites to repentance and turning them back to true worship in following the Torah.

And then came the Messiah, Who also sent His disciples to do exactly the same as always. Their words and teachings were written to call the straying people back to obedience and to walking in righteousness after all.

We were not supposed to receive the last words inplace of the first… nor to act as the entirety of the teachings are given in one sitting, each equal to the other.

The New Testament is intended to be taken as a support of the teachings of the prophets and the prophets in support of the teachings of the Torah.

Not replacing it. Not adding to it. Not overturning it. Not taking any part of it away. And not set up as its equal.

The writings and prophets and gospels and epistles are collectively doing the same thing as eachother yet none of them are serving in the same fashion as the Torah.

Torah is the standard of righteousness. The Writings are the accounts of the people either following the standard or elsewise not following it. The Prophets are the records of condemnation upon the people for disobeying the standard of Torah and calling the people back to Torah observance.

Why then should anyone expect that after hundreds and thousands of years of Almighty YHWH giving us His Instructions in Torah and sending prophets to call us back to obedience thereto, that He all of a sudden decided to discard it all and deliver a different standard with no conditions, no curses and no consequences at all?!

We should not. We should not think our Heavenly Father changed His mind, that He changed His rules, or that He changed His high standard.

The Torah is the Divine Standard of YHWH. The Writings are the Divine record of who followed the Standard and who refused. The prophets are the Divine record of the call to repentance and punishment for those who refused.

The Gospels are the account of Messiah restoring the broken covenant, demonstrating the Standard perfectly, and paying for all our infractions of it.

And the epistles are the instructions of how we who walk the world hereafter are expected to live by Torah according to the clarifications of the prophets and doing their words in our daily lives, according to the demonstrations of those teachings.

All the Scriptures are ascending like stairs one step after the next to take us higher, each successive text built one upon another like portions of a splendid and holy House where we hope to live. All the pieces connect, pieces of a puzzle which fit flawlessly together to form a perfect picture.

If we act as if all the Bible was written as one together or treat the end as the only aspect of value then we will indeed end up in trouble in both our teaching and in our living.
