These passages parallel 1 John 2:15\u2019s command not to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201clove the world.\u201d<\/em><\/span> &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Key Parallels Between Torah and 1 John 2:15<\/span> &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Exclusive Love for God<\/span> (Deuteronomy 6:4\u20135, the Shema) This foundational commandment sets love for God as supreme, leaving no room for divided affections toward <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cthe world\u201d<\/em><\/span> or its values. Warning Against Idolatry (Deuteronomy 7:25\u201326; Exodus 20:3\u20135) We are told not to desire or covet the silver and gold on idols, nor bring abominations into their homes. This echoes John\u2019s warning that <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u201cthe desires of the eyes\u201d<\/span><\/em> and worldly pride are incompatible with God. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Do Not Follow the Nations<\/span> (Leviticus 18:3; Deuteronomy 12:30\u201331) We are also commanded not to imitate the practices of Egypt or Canaan, nor inquire after the gods of the nations. This parallels the New Testament\u2019s call to resist the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201canti-God system\u201d<\/em><\/span> of the world. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rejecting Material Greed<\/span> (Exodus 23:8; Deuteronomy 16:19) The Torah forbids taking bribes because they blind judgment and corrupt righteousness. This aligns with 1 John\u2019s concern about \u201cthe desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes\u201d leading believers astray. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Choosing Life Over Worldly Temptation<\/span> (Deuteronomy 30:19\u201320) John\u2019s contrast between the passing world and eternal life mirrors this Torah choice between fleeting desires and covenantal life. The Torah doesn\u2019t use the phrase <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cdo not love the world,\u201d<\/em><\/span> but its commands against <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cidolatry, coveting, assimilation, and misplaced desire\u201d<\/em><\/span> form direct parallels. Where John warns against the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life, the Torah warns us not to be seduced by wealth, foreign gods, or cultural practices that oppose God. Both call for exclusive love and loyalty to the LORD as the antidote to worldly enticement. This is how John 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: Do Not Love the World &#8211; Episode 649 1 John 2:15 \u05d0\u05b7\u05dc \u05ea\u05b9\u05bc\u05d0\u05d4\u05b2\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd, \u05d0\u05b7\u05e3 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05de\u05b7\u05d4 \u05e9\u05b6\u05bc\u05c1\u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd. \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05d9\u05b9\u05d0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd \u05d0\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d0\u05b7\u05d4\u05b2\u05d1\u05b7\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05d1; #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth 1 John 2:15 2:15 Do not love the world nor [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[252,255,254,253,108],"class_list":{"0":"post-24110","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-biblicalseparation","10":"tag-lovegodonly","11":"tag-messianiclifestyle","12":"tag-rejectworldlydesires","13":"tag-torahtruth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24110","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=24110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24111,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24110\/revisions\/24111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
