Is Jesus A False Prophet?

Deuteronomy 13: 1-5 says: "When there arises in your midst a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he has given unto you a sign or wonder, and the sign and the wonder has come which he has spoken of to you, saying, Let us go after other gods (which you have not known), and serve them, you do not obey the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, for YHWH your Elohim is trying you, to know whether you are loving YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul; after YHWH your Elohim walk, and Him you fear, and His commands you keep, and to His voice you obey, and Him you serve, and to Him you cleave. And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to death, for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH your Elohim (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and has ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which YHWH your Elohim has commanded you to walk, and you have put away the evil thing from your midst." Notice that it is called "apostasy" if the prophet does not speak of keeping the commanbds of YHWH.

Now considering that most of the modern church believes Jesus did away with the Torah, i.e. the commands of G-d, what does that say about Jesus? Matthew 5:17-18 says: "Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets--I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil; for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass." (Young's Literal Translation) First, understand that "fulfil" does not mean to do away with; instead, it means to confirm or affirm its truth. Yeshua did not come to do away with the Torah; He came to affirm and correctly interpret the Torah. Consider the last verse. Has the earth passed away? Look around you. It has not. Since it has not, not even the smallest letter or decorative spur i.e. "yod") shall disappear.

This is serious. If the modern church maintains that Jesus has done away with the Torah requirements, then according to Deuteronomy, they are making him a false prophet. If Jesus is a false prophet, he is not sinless. To endorse a Torah denying Jesus, is to follow a savior who is not perfect and cannot be a sacrifice for sin. The entire theology of the church falls apart. However, if Yeshua is Torah observant and He does not teach others to disregard the commandments, He is the sinless Messiah of Israel and the entire world. How you view Jesus determines who he is, and what his role is. If Yeshua did not do away with the Torah, then who did? Who has the most to gain from YHWH's people rebelling against Him?

Note: In this article I have followed my pattern of referring to "Jesus" as a creation of the church and not divine. When I use "Yeshua" I refer to the set apart divine Messiah of Israel and the world.
