TORAH - DEAD?
Not according to 208 verses in the New Testament!

The following was presented and compiled by Zac Bauer of New2Torah and is printed here with his permission.

208 verses! 208 verses in the New Testament that prove that the law is not dead and Torah is very relevant for our lives and our walk with the Messiah. For every verse you give in the New Testament that says that the law is done away with, there are 2-3 that say it’s not. So, either there are a lot of contradictions in YAHWEH’s word or there is a misunderstanding on someone’s part. Since we should agree that YAHWEH’s word doesn’t have contradictions in it, a misunderstanding is probably what we are dealing with.
