Torah Restoration Ministries Statement of Purpose and Doctrinal Positions
Torah Restoration Ministries Statement of Purpose: To help facilitate what we believe will be the last great planetary reformation which will bring the Bride of Messiah into the fullness of her maturity and provide the final preperation for her to meet the Bridegroom. We believe the Body of Messiah must return back to the precepts found in the Torah of Moshe (Moses), keeping both the letter and spirit of the Torah. In returning to the Torah of Moshe, the Body of Messiah will find new power and strength to confront this evil generation and bring many souls into the harvest. We believe the whole Torah of Moshe can and should be obeyed per Deuteronomy 30 and Romans 10. We believe every part of Torah allowed in our present day exile in Babylon should be pursued with a fervent spirit. The Torah laws concerning animal sacrafices, the Levitical Preisthood, the Temple System and the governmental laws (such as stoning) cannot be done by the Bride and must await implementation until the Messiah of Yah arrives. The future physical Temple built in Yerushalyim will eventually become apostate and defiled by the anti--messiah, thus we do not recommend anyone becoming involved with the Temple until Messiah returns in power and glory from the sky. We believe we are already seeing the beginnings of this planetary reformation in the rise of the Messianic Jewish and related communities. We also believe this reformation will continue to grow over the next couple of decades. We believe the return of Messiah will occur probably not before 2028 although we are certainly not opposed to being wrong on this matter. We believe before Messiah returns, He will allow one last great revival to occur which will cleanse the Body of Messiah and bring many into the kingdom, providing this lost and dying world one last testimony of the fullness of the Torah-centered gospel. We believe the rejection of this Torah-centered gospel and revival will result in the rise of the anti-messiah as described in Revelation. Statement of Doctinal Beliefs: 1. YahShua is YHVH in the flesh. Trinity is heresy. Please see link on Trinity vs Echad. 2. YahShua and His Torah cannot be divorced. If one serves YahShua, one must also obey the Torah. 3. The Hebrew Feast Days as described in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 28 & 29 are to be observed with a fervent spirit. 4. The monthly New Moons and weekly sabbaths are also to be observed with a fervent spirit. 5. Women are to cover their heads per I Corinthians 11. 6. Men and women are to wear fringes of blue on the corners of their garments. 7. Men are to be physically circumcised in order to partake of the Passover Lamb. 8. The dietary laws in Leviticus 11 and Acts 15 are to be zealously followed. 9. Public preaching and perpetual evangelism of the lost should be our primary focus. 10. The gifts of the Ruach ha Kadosh should be active in our lives. 11. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is inspired and profitable for training in righteousness, reproof, rebuke and edification. 12. We reject any notion that any part of the Bible is not inspiried. 13. The Torah and Prophets along with the Renewed Covenant all command believers to keep every jot and tittle of Torah. 14. Though the Apostle Paul has been misunderstood, a careful analysis of his letters proves Christians must keep every jot and tittle of the Torah of Moshe. 15. The prophecies in Revelation and Daniel are still in the future and awaiting fulfilment. 16. There will be a literal 1000 year reign on earth of Messiah YahShua in which Torah is strictly enforced on the peoples of the earth. 17. Judgment and justice is more acceptable than sacrafice therefore any ministry, congregation, denomination or believer which promotes or practices rebellion will be identified as such and exposed by our ministry. 18. The Torah of Moshe is for both Gentiles and Jews -- for every human being on the planet. 19. YHVH Himself submits to the Torah of Moshe and thus the Torah is higher than Yah. 20. The Jewish traditions of Hannukah and Purim, including the Seder practices are harmless but not necessary. 21. Obedience to every jot and tittle of Torah through the indwelling power of the Ruach is necessary for salvation. However, Apostle Paul did say that where there is no knowledge of the Torah, there can be no sin. Theologians Charles Finney and Gordon Olson are clear that we are only responsbile for that which we know. So, we understand many Christians are on track to inherit salvation and eternal life while they may be ignorant of their moral obligation to keep Torah to its fullest extent. This will be remedied in the Christian world shortly. The knowledge of the Torah is thundering forth to the Christians who seek to know Messiah in a greater way. 22. Only the Blood Atonement provided by Messiah can wash away our past transgressions of Torah and justify us. 23. Keeping Torah is a result of being justified by Messiah. 24. A true believer lives in a perpetual state of sinlessness and does not violate Torah per I John 3:6-11 and Matthew 5:48. If a believer should trangress Torah, immediate repentence is required or he is once again bound for eternal torment. Transgressions of Torah should be far and few between in the life of a believer and non-existent in those who have been believers for any sustained period of time.
