Did Yahshua follow the law because he was perfect or was he perfect because he followed the law?

    None of the above. The law, according to Paul in 1 Timothy 1:9-10 is for the unrighteous, and not the righteous, and God is righteous.

    Jesus/Yahshua in fact broke the law and ignored the law. He broke the Sabbath (John 5:18) and went contrary to the law in John chapter 8 and Matthew 19.

    But if you have a legalistic bias, you probably won't see it.

    No human could obey every law. That is why Jesus becoming the law keeper was so necessary. He was the only one who COULD keep all the law. As the second person of the Godhead, of course He was and is perfect.

    When we as sinful imperfect human beings accept Yeshua as our Savior, we are given His righteousness as regards all things including the Law.

    Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

    Gal 5:23 Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

    Gal 5:24 And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

    He was 100% human, flesh and blood, and chose to resist all temptation and to follow the law perfectly, often by seeking the Father in prayer. So He was made a perfect human by following the the Law perfectly.

    Almighty God and Sovereign Lord of the universe created all things, including the law. There is principled law and gravitational law and either if broken causes harm of some kind. I just do not understand some of these questions. Its like there is a lot of imagination, ignorance and opinions which never get to the truth of anything. Yet, when some questions,that are sincere, are answered truthfully, they are thrown out of this site. I just do not understand where these questions like this come from.

    He chose his time and place to incarnate.

    What do you know of the laws of space time and the lords that rule those?

    He chose the perfect stage, the best possible arena to be who he was, to have the most impact on past and future generations....and he did it perfectly.

    What laws did he follow, what laws did he bend?

    Was he possibly in fact even "the law"?

    Because He lived the law

    Jesus didn't follow the law. He shucked corn on Saturday, healed people on saturday and kicked the money changers out of the temple.

    Jesus came to clean up corrupt laws. That's what makes Him perfect.

    He gave the Law! He was born sinless, and lived a sinless life. He even claimed that He didn't come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. Because of His death and resurrection, the Law has no power or authority over anyone: it is finished, and canceled (Colossians 2:14, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;")

    He followed the LAW as it was given !!! The God of the Universe [FATHER] placed His Holy Seed in Mary and that is the beginning of history - oops HIS STORY !!!

    STUDY THE BIBLE AND DO WHAT IT SAYS

    I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil (trouble): I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:5-7

    Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. 46:6-10

    John 14:29 And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe

    Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

    Jhn 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

    1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

    Pray the following

    Dear Lord,

    I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you. Amen
