THE 613 TRAP <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

01-05-2017<\/p>\n

I am by no means a Jewish person,
\nI wasn’t born under the Mosaic Law,
\nI did not live 1000s of years ago,
\nSo Moses and Prophets I never saw.<\/p>\n

I am a full New Testament believer,
\nBy the Blood of Christ I am saved,
\nI am sealed under His New Covenant,
\nI have a freedom which Jesus paved.<\/p>\n

So don’t try to bind me in legalism,
\nI am not interested in all that crap,
\nAs far as keeping those 613 mitzvoth,
\nIt is just the Devil’s deceptive trap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
