Law of God still in effect

About God/His Commandments
Christianity has taught over the millennia that the “Law” of God has been done away with. Many false assumptions have been taught abolishing and wiping off the map the commandments of God.
For those of us who have been awakened, we then realize how difficult, actually next to impossible to share this knowledge that the Torah, the Commandments given by God are still in effect. How can anyone first seek the Kingdom of God and not put God first in all things and realize that He does not change? His word stands forever!
Here is an excerpt from a periodical published by Tomorrow’s World which might help. It brings to light some words of Jesus that have been overlooked. The sad tragic result of how Christianity affects those who walk in the faith, is that those who command respect and authority (the pastors, church leaders, etc) have made of no effect the words of Jesus Himself and redirected the sheep to Paul’s words (which if left alone to study by one’s self alongside studying the first five books, then we actually can understand them in the proper context.). Sadly, again, those same church leaders have twisted Paul’s words into something they were never meant to be and the sheep have followed. Jesus even warned of that coming.
Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Tomorrow’s World excerpt from May/June 2020 edition:
TheComing Restoration
Scripture explains that Satan has deceived the whole world (Revela¬tion 12:9) and that leaders are often blind to obvious solutions (Isaiah 56:10; Matthew 15:14). Today’s theologians and pastors are mostly oblivious to the role they could play in preventing disease and pro¬moting health by teaching people to differentiate between the clean and the unclean, in both food and behavior (Ezekiel 22:26).
However, the time is coming when the whole world will learn to live by the laws of God—and will benefit from them. The Bible reveals that, while the “whole creation groans” for now (Romans 8:18–23), a “restoration of all things” lies just ahead (Acts 3:19–21). Jesus Christ will return to the earth to establish the Kingdom of God, and God’s law will be proclaimed to the whole world from Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:2–4; 9:6–7). In this coming Kingdom, church and state will be united (Revelation 5:10). Jesus Christ and the saints will teach people to obey the laws and statutes of God (Isaiah 30:20–21), and mankind will experience the wonderful results of changed behavior. The battle against sickness will be won, and disease will begin to disappear (Isa¬iah 35:5–6; Jeremiah 30:17). While this sounds incredible, it is part of the Gospel—the good news of what the future holds!
Divine Healing
But what do all these historical miracles have to do with Christians today?
The Bible promises us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) and reminds us that God says, “I am the Lord, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). The God who healed those seeking Him centuries ago is the same God who rules in Heaven today!
God inspired King David to write, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases” (Psalm 103:2–3). While many acknowledge that God forgives sins, many seem not to believe that God also offers to heal all our diseases. One of His divine names is “The Lord Who Heals You,” a title He takes on Himself in Exodus 15:26: “If you dili¬gently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
As we have shown in this work, the biblical approach to health involves learning to follow the instructions God has revealed in Scrip¬ture. And disobeying His laws not only represents sin (1 John 3:4, King James Version), but also often has physical consequences for our lives and health.
Not all that can be written here can convince anyone reading. There is more proof in the Word and just as an alcoholic cannot be persuaded they have a problem, they must discover it for themselves, so too the faithful follower of Christ must also discover for themselves by study.
Jesus also said:
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law(TORAH), or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. NOT ALL has been fulfilled yet.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Right now for many years, there has and is a remnant being called up and out of organized religion. There are those in the Jewish faith called to receive Jesus as their Messiah. There are those who have walked in the Christian faith who have been convicted in their hearts through faithful study of the Word, to keep the Sabbath and to follow the commandments and statutes laid out by God through His servant Moses. In both camps, it is those who have not abandoned their roots whether Christian or Jew, instead they have fully embraced BOTH. These are the saints. These are the ones most likely to be trained up to teach the multitude when the time comes. In the books of both Ezra and Nehemia is found the evidence of this.
What is troubling is that when those who have heeded this calling have attempted to share their testimony, those from either side of Judaism or Christianity who remain “orthodox”, have scoffed and derided them. Both have erringly done so for different reasons but Christians having familiarity with the NT are held more accountable for their errors. Even the books of the prophets tell of the elect who will fulfill this prophecy and they should be welcomed and embraced and prayed for by those who have yet to come into the fullness of this knowledge. To come against them and tell them they are wrong is to declare prophecy of no effect and to say that is to say that the Word of God is then of no effect.
A final word to encourage that all should study, all should pray on the matter.
