Points for consideration
The "Etz" (Wood) laid upon Yitzchak and the "Etz" laid upon Moshiach
Every area of our lives must be submitted to Moshiach.
Like Yitzchak we must be obedient. The old self in jeopardy of the fire has had its "akedah"
(binding) and has become
"talui al haEtz" (hanged on the Wood/Tree) with Moshiach Tzidkeinu,
whose righteousness from Hashem has been credited to the believer (as it
was in the case of believing Avraham, Bereshis 15:6). The righteousness imputed to Avraham Avinu and his faith
has been imputed to your faith and mine. Hashem
truly did provide for
those aroused to walk with Moshiach in the
newness of life. Notice in Genesis 22:13 you have the word TAV KHET TAV (TAH-KHAT)
meaning "in the stead of" and giving us the idea of a substitionary atonement.
Yitzchak = Moshiach = you = korban chai (living
sacrifice)
Are you aware of Yitzchak's akedah? Moshiach's
akedah? Your own akedah of the old self,
a daily spiritual concern of all true believers.

The messianic believer is already graciously and mercifully
reckoned dead. Daily I must remember that I died and was co-buried, actually buried together with
Moshiach (Romans 6:2-3) and Hashem considers me legally dead with him,
reckoning my faith as right standing before Him (Romans 5:1) and no longer
reckoning my past transgressions against me. So as a believer with my ongoing
daily struggle with sin, I need to reckon myself dead unto sin and my members as
dead and unusable as weapons of unrighteousness. The messianic believer is
already reckoned as buried zikh getoyv'lt in der mikveh and
accounted alive and justified and born from above by grace through faith in Moshiach,
and therefore in the power of the Ruach Hakodesh “puts to death” or
mortifies his inclinations and fleshly sins [Ro 8:13; Col 3:3-5]
which do not belong to the life of being a follower of Moshiach.
As Avraham Avinu bound Yitzchak, so by the power of
G-d the regenerated spirit (Yn 3:6)
in tandem with [see all importantly Ro 8:13] the
Ruach Hakodesh binds the old self
so that, in the newness of life and with a renewed mind, the new self as a korban chai (Ro 12:1)
follows Moshiach by the grace and mercy of G-d to glory. By the
discipline of G-d, from salvation to glorification
there is mortification ["I die daily" [1Co 15:31], which is not mere ascetic practices
but a daily reckoning of the old self talui haetz,
and bound in an akedah which is possible only because the [see Ro 7:22] adam
hapenimi [Eph 3:16] or regenerated Spirit
is alive and spiritually in touch with Moshiach the Devar HaChayim
and the Scriptures.
Those who believe that Ro 7:14-25 must
be speaking of Rav Sha'ul as he remembers his days before he became
a Messianic Jew need to look at Ro 8:12-13 where he warns believers
(note the word "brethren") about the need to mortify the flesh.
As we approach the season of Yom Teruah (the Day of the Shofar Blast,
Rosh Hashanah) we need to remember the akedah. For the preeminent Biblical
text of the Days of Awe is the Akedah, the binding of Isaac.
See Genesis Chapter 22.
Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it (and remember the rich
young ruler went away very depressed.) But whoever loses his life will find it.
What does this have to do with you?
Here is an illustration. Suppose you were once a drug addict and your habit was always on your
mind and as a junkie your habit was the reason for nearly every decision you made. Suppose someone
from the mob kept sending a drug dealer to your house to try to get you to buy more drugs.
Now if one day you got into a drug rehab program and got off drugs, you
would bitterly resent and hate that drug boss from the mob and that dealer
the drug boss was always sending around to further enslave you in your habit.
Now let's call the drug boss the devil and let's call the dealer your flesh.
Now before you were born again, the devil was always at work
sifting your flesh which made carnal demands from you, but now that you are delivered you
are under no obligation to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if
you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death
the carnal deeds of the body, you will live. (See Ro 8:12-13). Let's get
envigorated against the devil and let's get agitated against the flesh. Even
if you had a $500 a day habit before, you owe the devil nothing now.
You are under no obligation to the flesh. Get it straight in your mind. Wake up
and get your serious game face on. Resist
the devil. Make no provision for the flesh (Ro 13:11-14).
Something of this
same struggle, the struggle called mortification can be seen in what is wrought by
G-d when the lowest believer
is used in G-d ordained ministry to threaten Satan's kingdom.
If you read Rav Shaul's letters carefully you will see that he had to struggle with
the fact that very often the Twelve in Jerusalem or those in their circle were
accorded more respect than him and his teachings and pronouncements were
often given a "second-rate" evaluation by many in comparison with the Jerusalem
leadership. This would have tempted his flesh to covet. How he resists that
fleshy temptation is laid out in the book of Romans. See especially Ro 7:7-8.
The exegesis above
identifies the adam hapenimi or inner man, inner self, of Rom 7:22 and
2Cor 4:16 and Eph 3:16 as the interior Messianic believer's life or mind, the
inward or invisible man of the Olam HaBah whom the world, the flesh and the devil
would capture or deflect from the will of G-d, for if there is an "old man" in
Ro 6:6, then there is a new man, the inner man in Ro 7:22.
And this new man must put on or be enrobed (Co 3:10) in Moshiach,
in Moshiach's mikveh mayim and must put on the whole armor of G-d and the
mighty empowerment of the Ruach Hakodesh
as a daily mode of dress in order to stand against the wiles of the devil
and stand prayerfully vigilant and
properly attired with the Mt 22:11 "new birth"
robe of joy that is requisite attire for
the Choson Moshiach's Chasunoh. Read further.

"May my death make kaparah for all my sins." rather than
"T’hei mot
haMoshiach kaparah al kol avonotai"
"May the death of Moshiach make kaparah for all my sins."
If the following six words
from the Talmud
תְּהֵא מִיתָתִי כַּפָּרָה עַל כָּל עֲוֹנוֹתָי.
[סנהדרין
פרק ו,ב]
כִּי נִגְזַר מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים מִפֶּשַׁע עַמִּי
Let's repeat this so that
there can be no confusion or question.
There are two confessions here.
Each contains six little words. One Jewish confession is the holy
inspired Word of G-d
and one confession is not
the inspired Word of G-d.
Confession of the Talmud
instead of the Tanakh will cost
one his immortal
soul. Here are the words
from the Talmud:
"May my death make kaparah for all my sins." Here are
the Words from the inerrant Tanakh:
"Kee neegzar may-eretz chayyim
mee-pay-sha amee." So
from these inerrant words
we confess "T’hei mot haMoshiach kaparah al kol
avonotai," which translates into English:
"May the death of Moshiach make kaparah for all my sins."
Now if
תְּהֵא מִיתָתִי כַּפָּרָה עַל כָּל עֲוֹנוֹתָי.
[סנהדרין
פרק ו,ב]
כִּי נִגְזַר מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים מִפֶּשַׁע עַמִּי
So we primordially and
perennially,
with disastrous consequences
for ourselves,
forsake the
words of G-d and
receive the contradictory words of HaSatan.
By the time we get to 2 Corinthians chp 11 we
see that Satan wants to corrupt and ruin by means
of Bible-opposing
"knowledge," the so-called "deeper things of Satan."
Instead of staying
with the Word that was preached, the temptation of the
Corinthians was to
"go beyond what was written" and
to be seduced by extra-Biblical knowledge
(see Gen 3:5). Notice
that Eve's "Bible" only has
seven words in it.
The seven words in her "Bible"
warn that death will be the result
of her moral autonomy,
of her getting her "knowledge" of good and
evil, in other words, from a certain
lethal tree rather than
from the "Bible" her husband has been
given wherein the meager
content of seven words ("oo-meh-ETZ ha-DAH-aht tov va-rah
loh toh-KHOHL mee-mehn-NOO" ...of the Tree of the Knowledge
of Good and Evil you shall not eat from it) will nevertheless tell her
how to live and not die.
But in the hands of the evil Serpent this "Bible"
can be twisted and used to deceive
her so that she hands herself over to a
rival authority, a
Bible-opposing authority, with fatal results.
Anything that rivals and
opposes G-d is an idol, and in the Book of Revelation we see that the
believers will give up
their lives as martyrs rather than compromise with the idolatrous
religion and way of
life of the pagan society of the last days. It is fair to say that one
cannot be a believer unless one
repents from all idolatry.
Whoever tries to
keep his idolatrous life will lose it.

First let's get something
clear about erroneous notions of Paul and his founding a new religion,
which he didn't. True, the halakhah of his Judaism switched from the Pharisaic oral law to the Ruach Hakodesh, but his religion was still one of the Judaisms of the
time, not a new non-Judaism Gentile religion.
