Description
Can you keep Shabbat, eat biblically clean, observe the biblical feast days, wear tzitzit—and still be living in partial obedience to Yah?
In this Bible study we examine **Torah observance versus partial obedience** for Torah-observant Christians, Messianic believers, Hebrew Roots believers, Pronomian Christians, and other followers of Yeshua who believe Yah’s commandments should actually be obeyed.
Torah observance is more than a label, a Shabbat service, feast celebrations, clean food, or wearing tzitzit. Yeshua said that man is to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Yah.
We examine King Saul’s partial obedience in 1 Samuel 15, Moses striking the rock instead of speaking to it in Numbers 20, and seven biblical instructions that many people who identify as Torah observant may overlook or interpret symbolically rather than concretely.
Topics include head coverings, women and order in the assembly, beard and hair instructions, tefillin, profanity and gossip, misuse of the sacred name, drunkenness and sobriety, biblical modesty, the holiness of Yah’s name in Ezekiel 36, separation from unclean practices, and what it means to be a doer of the Word rather than a hearer only.
The purpose is not simply to condemn people who are still learning. Galatians 6:1–2 teaches restoration with humility. The question for every one of us is whether we sincerely want to learn what Yah actually commanded and then obey Him.
Yeshua said the way that leads to life is narrow, and Scripture repeatedly warns against hearing Yah’s instructions without doing them.
