⭐Our Jewish Messiah walked according to the leading of “The Holy Spirit”, which is what we are told to do in I John 2:6.
He did not focus his mind on “NOT SINNING”, but upon “Pleasing His Father” (John 8:29)
Those who have chosen the “OLDNESS OF LETTER WALK” (Romans 7:6) cannot see that they are rejecting God’s will and establishing their own.
TruthQuest calls them “SELF CONVERTS TO TORAH KEEPING”.
The self-converts to Torah Keeping only keep a handful more of Torah than we naturally keep— and they carry the extra burden of sin‑awareness while we don’t.
When you examine kosher laws honestly, something becomes obvious:
Gentile believers already avoid almost every unclean creature in Torah — without Torah, without effort, and without legalism.
⭐ We normally don’t eat any of these that Torah forbids:
Creeping Things
- Worms
- Snakes
- Things that creep on the ground
Land Animals
- Camels
- Hyrax / Coney
- Hares
Birds of Prey & Scavengers
- Eagles
- Vultures
- Red or Black kite
- Falcons
- Hawks
- Ravens
Night and Water Birds
- Owls
- Nighthawks
- Seagulls
- Pelicans
- Cormorant
- Storks
- Bats
Creeping Creatures
- Weasels
- Mice
- Lizards
- Gecko
- Skink
- Chameleon
Insects
- Flying Insects
This is 90% of the Torah’s unclean list — and Gentile believers avoid all of it naturally.
No Torah. No kosher laws. No rabbinic fences. No sin‑awareness. No effort.
Just normal life.
⭐What does Torah forbid that some Believing Gentiles enjoy?
- Bacon
- Ham
- BBQ Pork
- Pork Ribs
- Pork Rinds
- Pork Chops
- Pork Tenderloins
- Pork Roast
- Sausage
- Pepperoni
- Bologna
- Shrimp
- Sea Scallops
- Lobsters
- Clams
- Oysters
- Crab Legs
The entire “Gentile Torah‑keeper” movement for Kosher foods boils down to:
They give up pork and seafood. We don’t.
That’s the whole difference.
What else does Torah have that the Believing Gentiles typically don’t keep?
- Symbolic purity rituals
- Feasts
- Tzitzit
- No mixing of fabrics
- no tattoos
- Extra Sabbaths
- Fasting
- Kosher kitchen rules
- Hand‑washing rituals
- Synagogue liturgy as obligation
⭐ What no Torah‑keeper CANNOT keep:
Approximately 80% of Torah cannot be kept without a Temple, functioning Priesthood and being in “The Promised Land”
- ❌Sacrifices
- ❌ Priesthood
- ❌ Temple
- ❌ Levitical cities
- ❌ Jubilee
- ❌ Land laws
- ❌ Inheritance laws
- ❌ National courts
- ❌ Executions
- ❌ Leprosy inspections
- ❌ Firstfruits offerings
- ❌ Tithing to Levites
- ❌ Pilgrimage feasts
- ❌ Festival sacrifices
This is the Torah written on the heart (Jer 31:33). This is the righteousness of the law fulfilled in you (Rom 8:4). This is the Spirit producing what Torah pointed to.
Consider the execution laws of Torah.
None of the execution Law of Torah carry over into “The New Covenant”. But the principles do. We are to reject all aspects of “Witchcraft”. Exodus 22:18 is the best example. The Believing Gentiles keep this without the burden of using Torah to define sin for us.
Exodus 22:18 is retired because:
- Of the Diaspora.
- It is not a capital crime anywhere now.
- It was for the “Promised Land”
- Under “The Mount Sinai Covenant”.
BUT the principle survives — and we keep it instinctively:
✔ You reject all occult influence
✔ You avoid astrology
✔ You avoid tarot
✔ You avoid mediums
✔ You avoid witchcraft books
✔ You avoid pagan holidays
✔ You avoid spiritual contamination
And is referenced the perfect New Covenant example:
“Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them…” (Acts 19:19)
This is exactly how a Spirit‑led believer fulfills the principle of Torah without the penalty of Torah.
We don’t stone witches. You burn the witchcraft books.
We don’t execute idolaters. You destroy the idols in your own life.
We don’t enforce national purity. We walk in personal purity.
We don’t run a Levitical court. We judge yourself and walk in holiness.
Violating Torah is simply not how sin is defined for Believing Gentiles.
Here’s the revelation: The Torah that survives in principle is the Torah the Holy Spirit writes on all our heart s— and we obey it without effort.
Everyone naturally keeps:
✔ No witchcraft
✔ No idolatry
✔ No occult
✔ No pagan practices
✔ No sexual immorality
✔ No injustice
✔ No oppression
✔ No fraud
✔ No vengeance
✔ No grudges
✔ No gossip
✔ No lying
✔ No stealing
✔ No murder
✔ No adultery
✔ No coveting
✔ Love neighbor
✔ Love stranger
✔ Charity
✔ Holiness
✔ Separation
✔ Humility
✔ Justice
✔ Mercy
✔ Integrity
✔ Truthfulness
✔ Purity
✔ Faith
- Love God
- Love neighbor
- Love stranger
- Sexual purity
- Marriage purity
- Holiness
- Separation
- Charity
- Justice
- Honesty
- No occult
- No idolatry
- No vengeance
- No grudges
- No gossip
- No oppression
- No fraud
- Teach your children
- Remember God
- Do not add or subtract
- Walk humbly

This is the Torah of the Spirit, not the Torah of the letter.
⭐ About eighty percent of Torah is “RETIRED”.
The Believing Gentiles only keep some of the remaining twenty percent. Here is what we reject.
- We naturally keep Kosher but eat 5-10 unclean meats.
- Feasts are out
- Extra Sabbaths are out
- Clothing laws are out
- Purity laws are out
- Temple laws are out
- Sacrifices are out
- Land laws are out
- Judicial penalties are out
- Priestly laws are out
- Levitical laws are out
- Agricultural laws are out
- Jubilee is out
- Tithing to Levites is out
- Pilgrimage is out
⭐ So what do WE actually keep?
⭐ Meanwhile, we naturally keep the real heart of Torah
⭐ This is the tone‑setter for the entire “Torah we naturally obey” list.
The same things Paul taught us to keep.
We keep:
✔ The Ten Commandments (minus Temple parts)
✔ Love neighbor
✔ Love stranger
✔ Sexual purity
✔ Marriage purity
✔ Holiness
✔ Separation
✔ Charity
✔ Justice
✔ Honesty
✔ No occult
✔ No idolatry
✔ No vengeance
✔ No grudges
✔ No gossip
✔ No oppression
✔ No fraud
✔ Teach your children
✔ Remember God
✔ Do not add or subtract
✔ Walk humbly
✔ Do justly
✔ Love mercy
This is the righteousness of the law fulfilled in you (Romans 8:4).
