Christianity has committed fornication against Yahweh
The Hebrew word for fornication is zanah. It means:
to commit fornication, be a harlot, play the harlot
a) (Qal)
1) to be a harlot, act as a harlot, commit fornication
2) to commit adultery
3) to be a cult prostitute
4) to be unfaithful (to God) (fig.)
b) (Pual) to play the harlot
c) (Hiphil)
1) to cause to commit adultery
2) to force into prostitution
3) to commit fornication
to commit adultery (usually of the female, and less often of simple fornication, rarely of involuntary ravishment); figuratively, to commit idolatry (the Jewish people being regarded as the spouse of Jehovah):--(cause to) commit fornication, X continually, X great, (be an, play the) harlot, (cause to be, play the) whore, (commit, fall to) whoredom, (cause to) go a-whoring, whorish.
Christians have been unfaithful to Yahweh by backsliding from his Torah. Return to obedience to Yahweh, and become his "called out ones". Yahweh does not know a rebellious people, rather, and obedient people. For in the last days, ALL nations will learn HIS Torah(Isaiah 2). Those who want to be Torahlessness, Yeshua will tell them to depart to everlasting death(Matt 7:21-23). Which one will YOU be??

So true Bro. James. Here are few verses to back up your claim;
Jer.3
[1] They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
[6] The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
[8] And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Ezek.16
[15] But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
[16] And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
[28] Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
[31] In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
[35] Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
[41] And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
And let us not forget this one;
Rev.17
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Bro. James, it's sad to say but our people, even the entire world to this day is still playing the harlot before God. If they could only do as God's holy word says;
2Chr.7
[14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Peace and continue to teach Bro.

Bro. Pierce and Moreh,
CHRISTIANS’ FAITH DOES NOT COME FROM THE BLIND AND BURDENSOME TORAH
TORAH IS GOOD FOR THOSE WHO STILL LIVE UNDER THE LAW
”Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God”.
Romans 3:19
I've read Duet 30:11
Now, let us read 1 John 5:3-5:
"This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God".
1- The victory that has overcome the world is OUR FAITH
2-Who is it that overcomes the world? ONLY HE WHO BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD
The commands of Jesus are not the Torah!
The commands of Jesus are not burdensome
However, the Torah is burdensome. Indeed, It is a yoke that neither the disciples nor our fathers have been able to bear:
« Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
Acts 15:10-11
Amen!
WE BELIEVE IT IS THROUGH THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS THAT WE ARE SAVED
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast”.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Besides, the grace is not a license to sin (Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 3:9).
THE VICTORY THAT HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD IS OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST!
Amen!
But what is FAITH?
“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ”.
Romans 10:17
THE FAITH VICTORY OF WHICH HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST.
Jesus said:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, 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 law, till all be fulfilled”.
Matthew 5:17-18
Jesus did not come to destroy the law, or the prophets, but why did the Jews accuse Him to have broken the Sabbath?
Why?
Jesus does not nullify the law given by Moses, but He transcends it by bringing it to its fullness.
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth”.
Romans 10:4
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
God's perfect law is the Law of Christ. Amen!
The Law of Christ is " 'LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'LOVE your neighbor as yourself"
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: " 'LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'LOVE your neighbor as yourself.'
Matthew 22:36-39
If we obey those two commands, we will be fulfilling all that Christ requires of us, “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:40).
“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness”.
Colosians 3:14
This does not mean the Old Testament Law is irrelevant today. Many of the commands in the Old Testament Law fall into the categories of “loving God” and “loving your neighbor.
Obviously, if we are loving God we will not be worshipping false gods or bowing down before idols. If we are loving our neighbors, we will not be murdering them, lying to them, committing adultery against them, or coveting what belongs to them or stealing and so on.
Christians live under the law of Christ.
What is the law of the new faith of the Gentiles who come to Christ?
The law of their new faith is the law of Christ.
And that law states that man is not justified by observing the law of Moses, but by faith in Jesus Christ(Galatians 2:15-16).
This was the preaching of Brother Paul every Sabbath in the synagogue.
The law is not abolished But Jesus came to perfect the law, because the law can not save anybody:
“For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:19-21
The grace is higher than the law.
It’s not because we live under the grace that we owe to sin more, No!
It’s not because we live under the grace that we are lawless, No!
On the contrary the grace “… teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope -the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
Titus 2:12-14
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God".
1 John 3:9
Don’t you know that the grace is more requiring than the Law?
"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
Matthew 19:7-12
Jesus said:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Matthew 5:27-28
THE TORAH IS BLIND:
The law of Moses is blind and intransigent but the grace through Jesus Christ forgives.
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
"No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
John 8:3-11
Through the Grace God justifies freely the sinner who repents (Romans 2:24-25).
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life”.
Titus 3:4-7
The grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ: “
« For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
John 1:17
The grace accompanies the believer during his life (1 Corinthians 15:10, 2 Corinthians 12:9) and He can be strengthened in it :
“You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
2 Timothy 2: 1
Such a believer who walks in the grace of Jesus-Christ cannot walk any more according to the law .
But what kind of law am I talking about here?
I’m talking about the law in the sense of principle of works (with allusion to the Mosaic Law) which is in contrast with the grace (Romans 2: 12-29, Romans 3: 19-31).
Thus, the gentile believers need not observe the Sabbath and the ritual ceremonies prescribed by Moses.
When John said that: “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4)”, he did not refer to the customs taught by Moses (Acts 15: 1-21).
Consequently, the non-observance of the Sabbath by a gentile believer could not constitute the breaking of the law about which John spoke.
John referred to the law of the faith, to the truth of the faith:
“Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith ».
Romans 3:27
“If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.”
1 Timothy 4:6
This law can never be abolished, since the Word of God can not be abolished.
But what is the faith like?
« Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17
Any thing will pass but the word of God will not pass. Ritual laws prescribed by Moses are no longer in force for the gentile believers. They are abolished for those who live under the grace. But the law of the faith which takes its source in the Word of Christ will never be abolished.
“Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.”
Jude 1:3
Gentile believers live under the GRACE.
Hebrew Israelites keep the Sabbath because they still live under the LAW.
There are two different dispensations. Paul didn’t destroy THE LAW OF GOD though.
But he said that “no one will be declared righteous in His sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin”.
He said that we “ all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus”
He said that “a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.”
This doesn’t mean that we nullify the LAW OF GOD by this faith.
Please listen carefully to Paul:
“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin”.
Righteousness Through Faith
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished - he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. »
Romans 3:19-31
Hebrew Israelites still live UNDER THE LAW and do observe the Sabbath (whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law).
But the gentiles are free in Jesus-Christ, they live BY GRACE and they are justified BY FAITH.
Jesus-Christ did ask His disciples to go towards the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 10:6) towards which Himself was sent (Matthew 15:24, Acts 13:23).
However, during the time of THE GRACE, Israel is partially hardened with the message of the Gospel, but later all true Israel will be saved. If you are really a true Hebrew Israelite, then you are my brother. Amen!
The true Israelites, the remnant will Be Saved:
“I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
"The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins. As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.”
Romans 11:25-32
OUR FAITH DOES NOT COME FROM THE BLIND AND BURDENSOME TORAH
TORAH IS GOOD FOR THOSE WHO STILL LIVE UNDER THE LAW
”Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God”.
Romans 3:19
« He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Revelation 3:22

Germain,
Duet 30:11,"For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off".
1 John 5:3,"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome".

Pierce,
Do you understand MATTHEW 7: 21-23 well ?
What is the will of the Father of Jesus Christ who is in heaven?
We must let Jesus Christ Himself answer this question:
"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
John 6:40
Is Jesus Christ speaking about Torah keeping here?
