It's one thing to read the Word, its another thing to interpret it, but yet another thing to live it out!

Men "add to" God’s Word to please themselves…not God. Man’s intellectual and logical mind conflicts with the mind of God. God’s Word was not written to please man, or to please his logic, or to please his intellect. The Old Testament records were inspired by God and given to Israel for correction, reproof, and instruction in righteousness.

2 Tim 3:16-17...All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Israel got away from God’s commands in the Torah during all four Gentile captivities in history. Israel re-wrote the Torah and placed their interpretation into Talmudic writings according to their own interpretation. Israel’s interpretation of the Torah gradually swayed away from the Torah’s authority and standard of truth, until the Word of God became of none effect.

Matt 15:6-9...Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

This is what Christ, the Messiah encountered during His Earthly ministry. This is why Jesus made His famous Sermon on the Mount. Jesus’ beatitudes (a heavenly declaration) instructed Israel to get back to the righteousness and authority of the Torah... as it was written. By doing so Israel would have gotten away from the Babylonian Talmud which Christ defined as the tradition of the Elders. Israel would have got back to the holiness of the Torah and thus become eligible to receive the Earthly Kingdom of Heaven that would have began in the land of Palestine. The Kingdom of Heaven is where Christ will physically and visibly rule from his earthly Throne in Jerusalem.

Israel swayed from the authority of the Torah to please their leaders who were influenced by the Gentile world during various Gentile captivities. Israel’s interpretation of the Law led them into unholiness of heart and conduct toward God because of deviation from the authority of the Law of Moses. Without obedience to the authority of the Torah... Israel was not able to recognize the Messiahship of Christ. Examine Christ's own words closely.

John 5:46...For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

False teachings among the Gentiles today are no different than Isreal's deviation from the Torah to the Talmudic teachings that caused them to err from the truth.
