Deu 18:9When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not
learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Eze 20:31For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye
pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O
house of Israel?As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Eze 20:32And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the
heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
Eze 20:33As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm,
and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
Eze 20:34And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries
wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury
poured out.
Eph 4:17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other
Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Eph 4:18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the
ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
NOT ADDING TO OR TAKING AWAY
++++++++++++++++ Hoole 4:13 thou shalt not abandon the commandments of the Lord, but
shalt guard that which thou hast received, neither adding thereto nor taking therefrom;
We are not to follow prophets who teach that we aren't to keep Torah
Deu 13:1If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams rises among you, and gives you a sign
or a wonder,
Deu 13:2and the sign or the wonder which he spoke to you occurs, saying, Let us go
after other gods which you have not known, and let us serve them,
Deu 13:3you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of
dreams. For Jehovah your Godis testing you, to know if you love Jehovah your
God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Leaving the commandments is linked to worshiping other gods which we have not known.
Deu 11:28and a curse if you will not hear the commandments of Jehovah your God,
but will turn aside out of the way which I command you today, to go after other
gods which you have not known.
Isa 8:20To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this
Word, it is because there is no dawn to them!
Forsaking the Torah = following other gods is further supported by the next verse in Deu 13
Deu 13:4You shall walk after Jehovah your God, and you shall fear Him. And you
shall keep His commandments, and you shall hear His voice, and you shall serve
Him, and you shall cleave to Him.
Deu 13:5And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall die, because he has
spokenap os tas y against Jehovah your God, who is bringing you out of the land
of Egypt, and has redeemed you out of the house of slaves, to thrust you out of
the way in which Jehovah your God has commanded you to walk. And you shall
put away evil from among you.
