------------ ORIGINAL ------------- Torah is Dead? Not According to 208 New Testament Verses by Zac Bauer@New2Torah “208 verses! 208 verses in the New Testament that prove that the law is not dead and Torah is very relevant for our lives and our walk with the Messiah.“ “For every verse you give me in the NT that says that the law is done away with, I can give you 2-3 that says it’s not. So either there are a lot of contradictions in God’s word or there is a misunderstanding on someone’s part. And since we can agree that God’s word doesn’t have contradictions in it, a misunderstanding is probably what we are dealing with.” -The Gospels- MATTHEW: 1.
