  • YHWH/Yeshua/Torah: Romans 9:30 AENT

    Shavua Tov!

    Deep thought of Torah Parashah #29:

    Romans 9: 30. What will we say then? That the Gentiles who ran not after righteousness, have found righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith: 31. But Israel who ran after the Torah of righteousness, has not found the Torah of righteousness. 32. And why? Because they went after it, not by faith, but by the works of Torah.

    And Footnote from AENT: When the Israelites followed Moshe and were obedient to YHWH by faith, they won their battles, but when they rebelled they lost and suffered great casualties. In our day when Jews seek YHWH by faith, they find Mashiyach, but they stumble when they focus not on faith but "works of Torah" according to religious authorities and traditions. Mashiyach is the greatest "stumbling stone" to man's religions - but let's not pick on Jews only, because this applies equally to every other soul who regards their own religious traditions as more authoritative than YHWH and His Mashiyach.
