Please leave Jesus or Christian and the testament out of a an original Hebrew word or anything purely Jewish for that matter. This word is a Jewish concept. It cannot be used with anything Christian, . Then your messages becomes meaningless and have no genuine spirituality at all if you mix it up with hebrew. If your website is trying to inspire people, do not mix it with hebrew because it becomes confusing and is is morally wrong! I find the Christian messages mixed in with hebrew words, very insulting. I hope that something good comes out of this message and the mixing in messages with the hebrew stops altogether.
“Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Mat 5:17-19
The apostles were all Hebrews. They said,
“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.” 1 John 5:2-3
Shaul, who wrote the majority of the New Testament, was a Hebrew Pharisee. His writings do not contradict Torah (although later men have tried to claim so). In fact, he said,
“Is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the Torah through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Torah.” Rom 3:29-31
They and their writings cannot be divorced from Torah, or the Tanakh, or their identity and calling. You might not know that I was raised Lutheran and learned after my parents’ deaths that our family was descended from the cohanim (they didn’t know). It started my journey into studying Torah in earnest. That I am studying Yeshua and the apostles, as well as Moses and the prophets, with the belief that they do not contradict each other, and sharing what I am learning, is not meant to be insulting.

Hello M Alexander,
Yeshua was a Hebrew prophet and teacher. He said,
“Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled.
