You may believe in ‘Jesus’ or you may not believe in Him, and you may call Him by His true Name of Yeshua (Yahshua) or not, but do you understand what exactly He actually did for you?

You believe He saved you as the meaning of His Name implies that He would and did. But what did He save you from?

It matters very little if you know His real Name and believe He Himself is real, but you don’t understand what exactly He did for you. Yeah He died for you, but why? Yes He saved you, but from what - from Your own sins or from His own Father’s rules?

What are sins anyway?

The Bible says, “Sin is breaking the Law, indeed sin is Lawlessness.” Messiah died to save us from sin. That means one of two things: either He died to destroy the Law or He died to stop our breaking of the Law.

This is one of the major differences between Christians and Calvarians.

Christians never valued the Law of their ‘Lord’. Sure they say they do, proclaiming Genesis to Revelation as divine inspiration, but in practicality they see Genesis to Malachi as old fashioned, outdated and replaced, by Matthew to Revelation.

They will say they love the Law, but when approaching the Divine Instructions, they attack the Text with scissors, cutting out all the requirements they regard as silly and ridiculous till whatever remains is more to their liking and renamed the “moral law”. All the rest of the morality of the Most High is removed as myopic minutia, even though that viewpoint is not made available from the Text itself.

To Christians the Law was the problem.

To them the Law was the problem because breaking it is sin. So they say the Savior abolished it, or fulfilled it, or otherwise abrogated it somehow. (There never is a consensus among Christians on what happened to the Torah or why precisely. And for the most part it isn’t scrutinized with any degree of seriousness.)

If the Instructions of YHWH Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, can be called “the Old Law” and sidelined in favor of a replacement called “the New Law” then evil is no longer a problem. Right?…

Wrong….but that’s how the believers see it at least. The Law laid down rules and breaking those rules was sin; therefore if the rules are removed so is the sin.

There’s some truth to this actually. As Sha’ul (Paul) says “where there is no law there is no sin…” So the Christians are infact on to something when they say the removal of the Law would also remove sin. It truly would. No doubt about it. Where there is no Law there is no sin….

The trouble with that though is that where there is no Law there still is evil.

Christians see the Law as evil but the truth is that the Law is all that allows evil to be held to account.

Torah is descriptive nor prescriptive. In other words, the Divine Law doesn’t make something evil or good. It simply lets you know which is which…without which evil still exists but without our having any knowledge of it.

The Instructions of our Heavenly Father were not set in place to regulate what is and is not wickedness. They were set in place to let us know what is and is not wickedness.

If Yeshua our Savior set aside the Sacred Law somehow surely sin would be set aside also. But that doesn’t mean evil would be irradiated. That means that there would simply be no sanctions for it. Wrong would still be wrong by the nature of the action…but no one would be able to know that act was evil without the Law to say so and strictly apply a penalty to the wrong behavior.

If Christians were correct that Yeshua set the Law of the Almighty Elohim aside or somehow satisfied it so that He nullified its requirements and effects establishing a separate standard of soggy love instead, then the standard of right and wrong becomes a vague and vapid understanding as varied as the vast variety of opinions and private views as there are persons on earth.

If the Law even could be and was set aside by the Savior, then evil is a matter of general agreement or personal assessment. And sin is a violation of cultural norms instead of the Creator’s commands. Evil is being unloving and unkind. But without the Law of the Living Elohim, who defines what is loving and kind? Family? Society? Government?

The Christian Savior took away sin by taking away the definitions of evil. The result? The Church has redefined what sin is and decided for itself what is and is not evil. And chaos reigns supreme while real evil is done daily with little to no conscious thought about it.

But in Calvarian understanding Yahshua, our Savior died, not to destroy the Law which shows us what sin is and when we are guilty of it along with how we can correct our missteps as well as why it’s necessary, but to satisfy the required penalty for our perversions, to demonstrate proper obedience, and to strengthen standard for our better understanding forever after.

Torah had a built-in method of redemption where an innocent victim could suffer and be slaughtered for the sins of the people, Helpless lambs were slaughtered for our sake over minor violations and accidental infractions, establishing the example of the more extreme sacrifice required for the most serious of sins.

Sin is not a nature of evil or breaking of an arbitrary standard. Sin is breaking the Law of the Living Elohim, by accident or on purpose and the Law as written only provided salvation for the minor or accidental kind. More was needed than what was written but no more is allowed to be written in the Law without it being a sin in itself. So Yeshua came to die, not to do away with the Law but to do more and to be more than what the Torah required for the salvation of all from all manner of sins.

If the Christian is right that Torah was destroyed for sin to be destroyed, then Torah had no point ever, because the rules were arbitrary and the penalty for their breaking was capriciously punitive. If they are correct then evil and good are arbitrary standards and should be seen as such in the New Testament too.

But if the Calvarian view is true, then what Yeshua did for us was to die to save us from the death penalty due to us for our major and intentional sins as defined by the Law. He died according to the Law to satisfy the justice of the Law and set us back in right relation to the Law and in right relationship with the Author of the Law.

Setting side the standard would only create chaos and leave us feeling saved but not truly being saved, because we are running away from the place of safety. With the Christian tradition being true we would be as evil as ever yet acting and even believing we are righteous because we have enacted our own new standard of right and wrong - a standard with no just penalties either for real wrongs because those aren’t wrong anymore…according to us.

It’s important to know who Yahshua is by Name and believe that He really is our Savior, but without an understanding of what He saved us from and how and why, we can’t understand what any of it all meant or means. And if we mess this part up in our viewpoint we will be trying to be saved from His standard of right and wrong instead of seeking Him to save us from our own false standard.
