Did Paul Reject Torah? Galatians 2, Circumcision & the Traditions of Men Explained | Daily Bread

Did the Apostle Paul teach against Torah—or was something very different happening in Galatians 2?In this continuation of the Daily Bread Torah series, The Mandated Reporter begins walking carefully through Galatians chapter 2, examining Paul’s apostleship, Titus, circumcision, the Jerusalem apostles, false brothers, religious pressure, and the difference between YAH’s instruction and traditions imposed by men.Rather than rushing through Galatians and assuming Paul created a new doctrine, this study slows the passage down section by section.Paul travels to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus and privately presents the gospel he had been preaching among the Gentiles.But Titus—a Greek believer—is not compelled to be circumcised.Why?Was Paul rejecting Torah?Was circumcision itself the problem?Or was the issue the attempt to place Gentile believers under requirements that were being treated as necessary for acceptance into the covenant community?This lesson begins examining the distinction between:YAH’s commandments, the letter versus the spirit of the law, religious pressure, circumcision of the flesh versus the posture of the heart, and later traditions and enactments imposed by religious authorities.The episode also examines Paul’s own relationship with Torah and challenges the idea that Paul simply abolished everything YAH had previously established.Supporting passages and study references include:Galatians 2:1–5, Acts 24:14, Acts 25:8, Acts 18:21, Romans 7:25, Colossians 2:16–17, Zechariah 14, Isaiah 66, and additional passages concerning Paul’s practices, biblical feast days, Sabbaths, and the Law.This lesson intentionally stops before Galatians 2:6–10 so that the next part can examine the growing distinction between YAH’s established Word and the traditions of men.From The King’s News Desk, this is Daily Bread with The Mandated Reporter.Helping you understand the Bible in plain language.Reporting the King’s News, one Scripture at a time.#TheMandatedReporter, #DailyBreadPodcast, #Galatians2, #PaulAndTorah, #ApostlePaul, #Titus, #BiblicalCircumcision, #TraditionsOfMen, #TorahExplained, #PaulAndTheLaw, #JesusAndTorah, #BibleStudy, #BibleExplained, #UnderstandTheBible, #ReportingTheKingsNews, #FYPHELPFUL LINKSWant more information?• Website: https://themandatedreporter.org• The Mandated Reporter Remote Learning Program: https://the-mandated-reporter-s-schoo...• Subscribe: @themandatedreporter• Instagram: /angelanicolewilliams• Email: howcanwehelp@tmrjmunchkinmerch• One Path to the Way: www.onepathtotheway.wordpress.com• The Work From Home Advisor: www.theworkfromhomeadvisor.wordpress.com• Merch: www.munchkinmerch.com• “I’m Not a Scholar; I’m a Disciple” Merch: https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop/desi...BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS• Spiritual Contamination: Have You Been Exposed? by The Mandated Reporter: https://amzn.to/4hqrYRL• ESV Journaling Study Bible: https://amzn.to/4wIc9wx• NLT Spiritual Growth Bible: https://amzn.to/45v0eXj• Monthly Prayer Journal: Insights and Revelations by The Mandated Reporter: https://amzn.to/4bzpfnDFIND THE DAILY BREAD PODCAST• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033vvkx...• Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/081...• MunchkinMerch Podcast: https://www.tmrjmunchkinmerch.com/pod...• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...DESIGN RESOURCE• Try Canva Pro free for 7 days: https://www.canva.com/join/pdb-mzq-ysrSome links may be affiliate links.
