You Have Heard it Said, Adultery
with the Eyes...
"Let me ask you this. Have you fully obeyed the law? Have you commited any adultery? Cause Jesus said even if you undress a women in your mind you already broken your law."
Comment by "Max Bernabe" Youtube
This is often the argument we receive by those who teach the To'rah is done away with. Is Messiah teaching that the To'rah cannot be kept? Is the standard of To'rah affected by the standard of To'rahless, adulterous men?
What did Messiah really say?
Mat 5:28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
In What context Was this Statement Made ? - The To'rah remains Unaffected by Wicked Men's Standards.
Mat 5:17-20
“Do not
think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come
to destroy but to fully preach it and verify it. “For truly, I say to
you, till
shamayim (pw heaven) and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle
shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. “Whoever, then,
breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be
called least in the reign of shamayim (pw heaven); but whoever does and
teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of
shamayim (pw heaven). “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness
exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees,you shall by no means enter
into the reign of shamayim (pw heaven).

Now in response to Max Bernabe's statement
"Let me ask you this. Have you fully obeyed the law? Have you commited any adultery? Cause Jesus said even if you undress a women in your mind you already broken your law."
Strike 1:
It is not “my” law, it is the To’rah of Yah’uah Elohim the Almighty. Not my own righteousness but the righteousness of Elohim that I do.Php
3:9 “and be found in* (altogether as) Him, not having my own
righteousness, which is of the law (of circumcision / mutilation and
tradition v3, v5,v2), but that which is through belief in Messiah, the
righteousness which is FROM ELOHIM (TO’RAH) on the basis of belief .”

(-with), while, with (-in). Often used in compounds, with substantially
the same import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate
direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different) prep.
Strike 2:
It is the Law of Messiah, the law (Tor’ah) to Elohim in the Spirit of which I, as Shaul (Paul) am not without, I am not To’rahless! I want to gain the lost who are without To'rah so that they may gain To'rah of Elohim AND salvation through the law of Messiah which is subject to the law of Elohim (To'rah)1Co
9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being
NOT WITHOUT LAW TO ELOHIM, *AND / INDEED under the law to MESSIAH,)
that I might gain
them that are without law.
[ KJV has “but” (greek alla) should be “and” or
“indeed” magnifies law of Elohim rather than replacing it .(Is
42:21) ]Strike 3:
Messiah is not telling you about the beginning of sin in the heart as though a man should have it, keep it and cherish it. He is not making a mockery of the RIGHTEOUS Spirit of the law of Yah’uah. He is telling you to stop sin right where it starts (in the heart) rather than losing your soul! He says this in the VERY NEXT VERSE.Mat
5:29 “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it
out
and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your
members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into GěHinnom (
pw hell)
Strike 4:
Messiah is not making a blasphemous, light-hearted catholic Irish joke about adultery and the pearly gates. This is a matter of life and death, eternal death. Adultery is a serious sexual transgression in To’rah of which Shaul, who many To'rahless "believers" claim to follow, reminds them, that they will not enter shamayim (pw heaven).1Co
6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit
the reign of Elohim? Do not be deceived. Neither those who whore, nor
idolaters, nor ADULTERERS, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
Jas
4:4 (Spiritual) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know
that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? Whoever therefore
intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim.
Mat 13:22, Luk 4:5-6, Luk 14:33, Rom 12:2, 1Jn 2:15-17.
Strike 5:
So If Max Bernabe is telling everybody here that men cannot cease from the sin of adultery "with the eyes" when Messiah has commanded them to stop, then he is clearly declaring to everyone here on this Youtube post that they are indeed CURSED and cannot cease, stop, or put and end to it. He would need to get saved and delivered from his deception!! He is contradicting the context which we showed in the beginning Mat 5:17-20 the law remains regardless of sin or no sin.
2 Pe
2:14 having eyes filled with an adulteress, and unable to
cease from sin, enticing unstable beings, having a heart trained in
greed, children of a curse
Strike 6:
Messiah did not come to minimise the law OF ELOHIM he came to make it GREAT ( MAGNIFIED) AND ESTEEMED. NO MAN'S SIN CAN DO AWAY WITH THE STANDARD OF TO'RAH SINCE IT IS NOW MADE GREATER THROUGH MESSIAH.Isa
42:21 It has delighted Yah'uah, for the sake of His
righteousness, to make the To’rah great and esteemed.
Strike 7:
Messiah is the (greek)TELOS (scope /goal (not end) of the Tor’ah, the TO’rah is MAGNIFIED with the TELOS / SCOPE >>> TELESCOPE. Tor’ah may appear far to you but it is not far being brought near through Messiah's teaching as he magnifies the issue of the eyes of adultery being a heart issue.Rom
10:4 For Messiah is the GOAL of the ‘Torah unto (TOWARDS)
righteousness to everyone who believes. Footnote: end purpose; not
termination.
Strike 8:
Shaul reminds you that Messiah has brought the To’rah near indeed to the very mouth and HEART. Adultery stops, it does not even begin, as it MUST stop with the pure heart of us who believe and REJECT the thought of adultery. Shaul quotes MOSES Deu 30:14, Shaul establishes the To'rah of Moses by doing it.Rom
10:8 But what saith it? The WORD (To’rah) is nigh thee, even
in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the WORD (To’rah) of moral
conviction (pw faith), which we preach;
Deu
30:14 For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your
heart – TO DO (DO DO DO DO DO) IT.
Yes so we do it, we reject adultery
with the eyes, we do not break To'rah which remains written upon our
heart.Strike 9:
Messiah is describing the process of sin beginning first with looking then enticement, then lust and then DEATH (not godess GRACE) - he is telling you to stop with your eyes or DIE, D I E !! Yakob (pagan name James) also describes the process of sin and death:Jas
1:13 Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am enticed by
Elohim,” for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He entices no
one.
Jas 1:14 But EACH ONE is enticed when HE is drawn away by HIS OWN desires and trapped.
Jas 1:15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death (D E A T H).
Jas 1:16 Do NOT go astray, my beloved brothers.
Jas 1:14 But EACH ONE is enticed when HE is drawn away by HIS OWN desires and trapped.
Jas 1:15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death (D E A T H).
Jas 1:16 Do NOT go astray, my beloved brothers.
Strike 10:
Yakob does not say, do not keep To’rah my beloved because you all have eyes full of adultery does he??? NO HE DOES NOT!! and neither does Messiah. That is only the state of the false “church” system CALLED THE HARLOT ADULTEROUS “CHURCH” for that very reason.Strike 11:
Messiah, a man, did not have eyes full of adultery in the Spirit of Yah'uah and neither do we who walk as he walked.Col
2:6 Therefore, as you accepted Messiah Yah'ushua the Master,
walk in* (altogether as) Him.

Strike 12:
Finally dear readers if you are also To'rahless and encouraging others to behave in this adulterous way by saying that you cannot and should not stop adultery as a so-called believer in Messiah and Elohim and that we who are being made pure in To'rah should thus bow to your standard and ditch the whole of To’rah simply because YOU are cursed and want to overthrow the judgement of Yah'uah then you are again clearly declaring that you are in fact that cursed child spoken of, ready for Gehenna who is enticing other unstable people with your perversion of Messiah's statements.2 Pe 2:14
...ENTICING unstable beings, having a HEART trained in greed, CURSED
CHILDREN.
REPENT
train your heart to not commit adultery with the eyes
and to not sin against Yah'uah
so that you do not die the eternal death
