Yahshua was the perfect Witness.

He confirmed the Commandments in His walk of life. Matthew 19:17 … if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Romans 13:9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

THE REAFIMANATION
Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Acts 17:29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.
1 Timothy 6:1 Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.
Hebrews 4:4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; Hebrews 4: 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. Hebrews 4:10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Matthew 18 …Jesus said, “ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’
Matthew 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Romans 7:7 “You shall not covet.”
Romans 13:9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Romans 7:7-12
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

That is the end of it. We are to love one another and live by the Golden Rule.

Romans 2
God’s Righteous Judgment
1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
The Jews Guilty as the Gentiles

17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law. 21 You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? 24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.
Circumcision of No Avail

25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?


I have heard Christians say things that equate to the ideology that when Jesus died we were free from the law and that to keep following it is to be living in bondage. I was having a conversation with my parents at a restaurant one evening and commented that I was going to stop eating unclean foods like pork products, shell fish , and catfish (the only seafood I really like and all I ever ate out of that food group!) The waitress had over heard me say that and snapped in an angry tone, “Jesus hung on the cross and washed that old law away.” I smile to myself and said nothing, and ordered the Prime Rib Special. She was thinking I was living in bondage.
My mother agrees with the waitress. “Now a days they can not sell food…” I do not mean to be disrespectful to my mother, a non believing woman who made sure all her children had a chance to learn the bible. We all believe in God and Jesus/Yahshua, though my brother Russ refers to Him as George. I reprimanded Russ for the disrespect and Russ point blank told me to mind my business. I have concluded that THAT relationship is between them AND I, keeping Romans 2 in mind, have learned to keep my mouth shut. Back to my mother and her thinking that all food is safe to eat if sold in a store… I have seen in the movies and TV as well as reading in a few books where murderers have fed bodies to a heard of pigs. Pig’s digestive systems… do an internet search you’ll see. Lobsters are bottom feeders… there goes the lobster tails and bacon. I would be much healthier if I followed The Maker’s Diet. I know it, and I even own the book. I have no incentive. I pray Yahshua would send me a man who would be my covering. You know what I need…please send him. In Your name Amen. Eh! Don’t go passing judgment on me! I am not being disrespectful! He knows my heart and knows me better than I know myself. No one loves me like He does! Anyway, I have side lined, back to where I was going.
It is not living in bondage to follow the law. Hebrew 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If I recall correctly He was there in the beginning of creation! Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; Correct me if I am wrong, they are one and the same. He can do anything…that’s what it is being God. ANYTHING! Satan can’t say that. (I have to get those digs in, I don’t know why, I just do! I really hate Lucifer…to be there in God’s presence… ungrateful…grrrrrrr!) Here we are suffering so our Father is never questioned again. I think it is fair…that’s me and my relationship with the Creator though. I’m on another tangent, FOCUS Jewels, focus.) Mathew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. Mathew 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Let’s change bible versions and go with the Sermon on the Mount!
Matthew 5 Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Sermon on the Mount
1 When He saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain, and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He began to teach them, saying:

The Beatitudes
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
because the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
because they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the gentle,
because they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
because they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
because they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
because they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
because they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness,
because the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
11 "Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me. 12 Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Believers Are Salt and Light
13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It's no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men.
14 "You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Christ Fulfills the Law
17 "Don't assume that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For I assure you: Until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass from the law until all things are accomplished. 19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever practices and teaches [these commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Murder Begins in the Heart
21 "You have heard that it was said to our ancestors, Do not murder , and whoever murders will be subject to judgment. 22 But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Fool!' will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, 'You moron!' will be subject to hellfire. 23 So if you are offering your gift on the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Reach a settlement quickly with your adversary while you're on the way with him, or your adversary will hand you over to the judge, the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 I assure you: You will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!

Adultery in the Heart
27 "You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery. 28 But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell!

Divorce Practices Censured
31 "It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce. 32 But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Tell the Truth
33 "Again, you have heard that it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but you must keep your oaths to the Lord. 34 But I tell you, don't take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, because it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither should you swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 But let your word 'yes' be 'yes,' and your 'no' be 'no.' Anything more than this is from the evil one.

Go the Second Mile
38 "You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I tell you, don't resist an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 As for the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and don't turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love Your Enemies
43 "You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary? Don't even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

So there you have it, not only did Yahshua fulfill the law he added to it! We are now to turn the other cheek and not retaliate. No longer is it an eye for an eye! You don’t just have to go a mile you now have to go that extra mile. Do you really think that He would send a Legion of demons in to a herd of swine and then turn around and eat pork? The cast nets brought forth fish, not crestations! I love bacon and battered butterfly fried shrimp… I also have had a hysterectomy, lower intestinal issues, am anemic, and my last operation I had a Para-thyroid removed. I know I need to dig out that Maker’s Diet book. I know I need discipline. It occurs to me that maybe I am being rebellious. Like a childish chant ‘Naa na na na naa naa!’ “I’ll get in shape and eat right, exercise and be a good temple for You to shine through, if You give me what I want. Where is my perfect husband?” Maybe? No maybe’s about it. Well, You say and you will receive. I am asking for a help mate that will help me serve You better. In Yahshua’s name amen
