An Exclusive Interview with the Chief Shepherd+ of our Souls:
Q. Is it possible to follow TORAH in this day and age?
Chief Shepherd+: YES! Not only is it possible but it is required to keep Torah flawlessly .
Q. How can this be true ?
Chief Shepherd+: My+ Word says that it is possible and furthermore, it tells you HOW to perform it.
Q. Well, not to be quarrelsome, but... how do I perform all 613 laws included in Torah... all the time ? For I know that if I break even one of them, I have "broken the law" and am found to be a sinner.
Chief Shepherd+: My+ Word shows you a simpler way. If you can count to TWO, that is all the Law you have to remember to perform.
I+ have told you before:
Thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.
On
these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
My+ Faithful Servant Paul taught you this as well.
Q. He did ?
Chief Shepherd+: Have you not read in The BOOK the instructions I+ gave to him for you? Do you not realize that ALL Scriptures are given by the in-breathing of GOD and are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness ?
Q. Where ?
Chief Shepherd+: In the book My+ Servant Paul wrote to My+ followers who failed to keep Torah flawlessly.
He told them repeatedly HOW to keep Torah and remain righteous before GOD all their days. He wrote those instructions in a letter to the followers in Galatia, who were struggling to keep The Law, Torah.
Listen carefully to those words now.

Even Mr. Roth's AENT states:
"And I do not frustrate the grace of ELOHIM, for if righteousness came by Torah, then Mashiyach died for nothing. "
Other than a few technicalities [ one wrong verb tense, an added word not in the text, and changing 3 words into Hebrew instead of using the Aramaic, in an effort to be authentic ], Mr. Roth's translation in this verse is acceptable because he retains the meaning, in general, of the Aramaic Text.
Galatians plainly states that righteousness NOW COMES THROUGH The M'SHIKHA+ .... not by the hand of, by the way of, through the means of ܒ݁ܝܰܕ݂ TORAH !
"B'YaD" ܒ݁ܝܰܕ݂ is an idiom, as you know, that is translated as "by the hand of" something, in this case, NaMuSa, The Law. NaMuSa is all the Law, even that which is found beyond the 5 books of Moses, the Torah specifically, including that which is found in the Psalms, Proverbs, and other Prophetic writings.
So, how do followers of Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+ keep Torah flawlessly ?
We unite our will with HIS+.
We follow HIM+ with an obedient, love, faith- relationship with Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+.
We make HIM+ LORD of our life,
removing self from being
on the throne of our life.
We yield unto HIS+ LORDSHIP.
We are not our own;
we are bought with a PRICE+.
When this truly occurs in our life , then we are made righteous in HIS+ eyes. This was the AIM of TORAH all along. Now it is possible.
And indeed, it is required.
