Blind Guides: “The Law of YHVH” Vs. “the Law of Moses”

Luke 2:24, Law of the Lord/YHVH. This phrase is found only three times in the NT—here and in verses. 24 and 39. The same phrase is additionally found 18 times in the Tanakh and obviously refers to the Torah (e.g. Pss 1:1; 19:7; 119:1).

The phrase the law of Moses is found a similar number of times in the Bible: 15 times in the Tanakh and seven times in the NT. Obviously the phrases the law of YHVH and the law of Moses are synonymous terms in that they refer to the same thing: the Written Torah. From obvious meanings of these two terms, we learn that YHVH Elohim is the divine source or origination of the Torah, while Moses was the one who wrote it down and as the leader of the nation of Israel, he administered it.

It is interesting, if not ironic, how the mainstream church chronically refers to the Torah as “the law of Moses,” when Scripture refers to the it as “the Torah of YHVH” the same number of times less one. The church system’s choice of one term over the other seems to reveal, sadly, its apathy, if not, at times, its outright antipathy, toward YHVH’s Torah. This furthermore underscores the truth of Paul’s words in Rom 8:7 about the carnal mind of man being at enmity with the laws of Elohim in that it refuses to be subject to them.

Praise be to YHVH that more and more people are waking up to the truth of the Bible and breaking through the barriers that churchianity has constructed to keep men from the full counsel of YHVH’s Word!

      Some delight in anarchy and some can’t figure out why the world is falling apart.
      Many had the dark glasses put on so early they never have experienced light and their poor eyes don’t know how to perceive light. It is a painful and frightening experience but what relief is found.
      How we need this spiritual healing!

      Thank our most merciful Elohim for Salvation.

      I know someone quite well who WAS a double degree Doctorate holder in idiotology thinking anarchy was freedom!

      Me
      Be blessed.
