Because we know that whatever the Torah says it's talking to those within the Torah, so that every mouth might be fenced and all the world would become liable to the God; because no flesh based being will be made right when standing in front of Him by doing what the Torah says, because it is through the Torah that the knowledge of the error through observation exists. And now a divine right state of being has been manifested separate from the Torah being testified to by the Torah and the Prophets, and a divine right state of being through the trust of Yeshua the Anointed for all those who trust. Because there isn't a distinction, because everyone erred and are deficient of the reputation of the God being freely made right by His charity through the slave buyback which is by means of the Anointed Yeshua whom the God put forward to be a mercy-seat through trust by means of His blood for an indication of His right state of being because of the falling to the side of the errors which happened beforehand by means of the God's permission, for the indication of His right state of being at the present time, for Him being right and making right the one who is of the trust of Yeshua.
Romans 3:19-26, my rough translation this morning.
It doesn't follow the standard Protestant translation and understanding of this passage. It's not supposed to, because Paul wasn't talking about penal substitutionary atonement. He was talking about being bought back and freed from being enslaved to one's own flesh. He was talking about an error within that flesh which prevented this divine right state of being from being manifested up til this point when the God put Yeshua forward as a mercy-seat. He was talking about the total inability of anyone being made right from the error at their life review by doing what the Torah says because the Torah can only expose the error, it cannot correct it. Let me say this again, Torah or "Law" keeping cannot fix the error or manifest this divine right state of being because it was never designed to do that.
This divine right state of being which belongs to the God is already a part of every human being, but because of the error which enslaved us to our flesh (literally our brain's survival response systems) we have been unable to manifest. By Yeshua dying and resurrecting, who is the Seminal Logos, the Head, of whom the logos of every human being is a part, every human being thus can reap the benefits, the after-effects if you will, of His death experience, His NDE so to speak. Why was His death necessary? Because what has died has been made right from the error. Paul understood that the error was in the flesh, it wasn't and could be in the divine Spirit which every human being has, and when the flesh dies, the error dies with it. When a person is resuscitated or resurrected, those after effects always include the weakening and breaking of the hold of the flesh, the fear which keeps us trapped. Why did Jesus Christ die on the cross for us if not as a penal substitutionary atonement? So that the hold of this error over human beings, us, would be broken through our innate unity with Him as Logos.
We only need to trust what already is, that is, what we already are, divine sons through our existential oneness with the Son, the Seminal Logos, the firstborn from the God, and the firstborn among many, many siblings. It is this divine Spirit which each human being holds, the Consciousness born from His Source Consciousness, this eternal and infinite Awareness which is who and what we truly are apart from the finite, transient, and flawed flesh, experiences, perceptions, and identities to which we cling and of which Jesus told us to drop and let go of or we couldn't be His disciples. Why? Because being His disciple means stripping away everything else except our essential awareness, our own "I am..." without any qualifiers which is a part of His “I Am” and borrowed from Him.
What Paul experienced and learned in his NDE on the road to Damascus was not that different if at all from what nearly every Near Death Experiencer experiences and learns. He just interpreted it through his own cultural, societal, and philosophical worldview as does nearly everyone. It was tailored specifically for him as it is everyone. What he writes and describes is a result of that learning and experience. The most common interpretations of what Paul wrote fail to take this into account and are the product of the five hundred year old Reformation theology and teachings.
