The Torah repeatedly lays down principles that parallel this idea: living in a way that does not become a snare, burden, or stumbling block to others. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Torah Parallels to \u201cNot Causing Others to Struggle\u201d<\/span> &#8211; Leviticus 19:14 Do Not Put a Stumbling Block, this is the most direct Torah parallel. Paul\u2019s language in Romans 13:13\u201314 echoes this principle. Exodus 23:4\u20135 Help, Don\u2019t Hinder (helping with the ox). Instead of adding to another\u2019s struggle, the Torah commands active assistance, even toward an enemy. This anticipates Paul\u2019s ethic of walking honorably and not creating strife. Deuteronomy 22:1\u20134 Preventing Struggle, the Torah requires proactive responsibility to remove burdens from others, not add to them. The principle is: don\u2019t ignore another\u2019s struggle, and certainly don\u2019t cause it. Numbers 11:4\u20136, 33 The Mixed Multitude\u2019s Complaints, the people\u2019s grumbling about food created discouragement and stumbling for the whole camp. The Torah shows how negative behavior can spread and cause others to falter. Paul\u2019s warning against <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cstrife and jealousy\u201d<\/em><\/span> mirrors this dynamic. Deuteronomy 27:18 Cursed Is He Who Misleads; this curse reinforces Leviticus 19:14: misleading or burdening others is covenantally condemned. The Torah Principal is Don\u2019t place obstacles, literal or moral, in front of others. Instead, lighten their burdens and act in love. Paul\u2019s Application (Romans 13:13\u201314) is to live honorably, without strife, jealousy, or indulgence that could cause others to falter. Instead, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cput on the Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Both the Torah and Paul converge on the same ethic: covenantal life is about removing stumbling blocks, not creating them. This is how Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Let Us Not Cause Others to Struggle &#8211; Episode 641 Romans 13:13 \u05d5\u05bc\u05db\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d1\u05b7\u05bc\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05e0\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05d4\u05b5\u05d2 \u05e0\u05b8\u05d0 \u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05d9\u05b8\u05bc\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b0\u05dc\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b0\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05db\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d6\u05b4\u05de\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e6\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e7\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4, #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Romans 13:13 13:13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24086,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[235,65,228,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-24084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-biblicalresponsibility","10":"tag-messianicteaching","11":"tag-romans1313","12":"tag-torahethics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24084"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24085,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24084\/revisions\/24085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
