Identity & One Torah Review, Part 5

by torahgirl

Agreeing on the reliability and authority of the Scriptures, as well as the centrality of Yeshua, is essential to sustaining One Torah communities. Moses wrote the Torah with hindsight {possibly starting in Exodus and backtracking}; Torah is the foundation, and building on it we get progressive revelation. G-d’s promise plan is revealed more and more over time. We rely on divine inspiration of the Scriptures – including preservation through time.

Note: What about oral Torah? Does it “belong” to the Jews? No, they received it. We can use traditions which honor the Torah without doing any disservice to the Jewish people.

This has been an extensive review of “Identity & One Torah” – thank you for your patience! As I mentioned at the beginning, the audio recording of this seminar will be an excellent resource. For more about Divine Invitation theology, I recommend Tim Hegg’s paper “An Assessment of the ‘Divine Invitation’ Teaching” {also available on paper or in audio format}.

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear G-d and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
For G-d will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
-Ecclesiastes 12.13-14
