WEll, I think it is more about accepting that Jesus brought forth a new covenant, while doing away with the old covenant.

That's the only thing that I can think of. I mean we are not under the old law, if so we would still have to sacrifice animals to cover our sins before God, but Jesus is our lamb covering our sins.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but this is guess to what you may be looking for.

it is really quite sad how the xtians miss the mark thinking that the Messiah came to create a new religion from the original Hebrew faith. They teach (falsely) that the Torah was done away with referring to it as "The Law" when it is simply YHVH's Teaching and Instruction, which is exactly what the Messiah taught. The Messiah was unique in ONE primary regard. HE was the perfect sacrifice, the Lamb provided by YHVH that would provide a path in which we could "turn back" (teshuvah in the Hebrew) and repent of our sin allowing us to NOT suffer the "Law of Sin and Death" which remanded stoning to death for intentional sin with no options. THAT is the law referred to as having been interceded by the Messiah and our belief in HIM. HE taught the Torah perfectly, they did NOT have king james bibles, they taught from scrolls of the Tanach (1st 5 books of Moses, Psalms and Prophets) as the so called "new" (actually Renewed) testament is a collection of letters written by the Talmadim (apostles in greek) who wished to follow the correctness of the Torah and not the man added rules and regulations the P'rushim (Pharisees) wrought over the Jewish people of the day.

Yahshua the Messiah even taught in the synagogue trying to correct that which the Pharisees sought to massage to their own likeing. The christians of today are no different. They added and subtracted so much from what Messiah taught it is literally another gospel and another religion from the one taught from and of. God NEVER changed and Messiah taught HIS words by HIS own admission. As stated in Matthew 5, Romans and Revelation NOTHING was to be changed from the orgininal words of our Elohim. But men have done poorly in this area. Very sad indeed. By getting back to one's Hebrew roots it is much easier to make sense of it all. Obedience IS counted for righteousness, and grace was given from the beginning, it is NOT a new concept or gift. You are not so called "Under Grace" alone. HE has asked repeatedly for our obedience and recognizes those that DO HIS commandments Just read Revelation 22 sometime and tell me you can wish it away.....I don't think so. It's MORE than just love if you believe HIS word. Faith is an ACTION.....not a free ride.........
