Ezekiel 22:26
Her priests do violence to my law (Torah).
The Word - Torah - means instructions. It's usually translated to 'law' in the English. However, some English translations translate it to "instructions." For example:
Ezekiel 22:26 NLT
Your priests have violated my instructions.
The Torah (Instructions) includes the first five books of the Bible - but one can argue there are further instructions through the parables - the writings - the prophets - the gospels - and even the writings of the Apostles. Paul - for example - wrote that he doesn't speak from his own authority - but he is teaching/expounding on what the law/torah/instruction already says:
1 Cor 9:7-9
7 What soldier has to pay his own expenses? What farmer plants a vineyard and doesn’t have the right to eat some of its fruit? What shepherd cares for a flock of sheep and isn’t allowed to drink some of the milk? 8 Am I expressing merely a human opinion, or does the law say the same thing? 9 For the law of Moses says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” Was God thinking only about oxen when he said this?
That same law/instruction - the Messiah quoted 3 times against the devil (Book of Deuteronomy) - which Paul confirms is sharper than a double-edge sword. The word of God is perfect (Psalm 19:7), and the Son said blessed are those that practice what it says:
Luke 11:28
But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.
-----------------------------------------------
So who is the Messiah? He has many names and titles. He is the Word made Flesh. Those that reject his flesh have no life. He is the Living - Perfect - Unchanging Rock (the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow) - The Word of God:
Revelation 19:13
He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.
The Pharisees - for example - were accused by the Messiah of doing violence to the Creator's Instructions/law/torah (Mark 7:6-13), and they ended up doing violence to the The Word made Flesh as well.
So who else is doing violence to the Torah/Instructions? The MAJORITY in the church that are teaching today. They have their excuses/reasoning for it - even though the two witnesses stand against them (heaven/earth) - and I'm sure every story we read in the Bible of wicked actions that went against the Creator - they all had their reasonings/excuses for it - and some of them probably were quite convincing - just like they are today (we have the keys from Peter - reliance on mis-translations - Paul said this or that).
I'll just give one example - the church re-writing the definition of adultery. They are convincing - mostly because - they have culture on their side and a plethora of mis-translations from Matthew 5:28 to choose from - and they know that most of the flock won't bother to go to the Greek - or read YAH's (always consistent) definition of adultery found in the Torah (must involve a married woman) - because most aren't truly seeking him - or care to get to know their Maker. So the majority teaching in the church are no different than the pharisees. They are spiritually doing violence to the Son - and if the Son were to show up today - he would be considered to be an alien threat to the majority in the church today.
Lucifer - the Son says - has no love for the truth (John 8:44). So it's no surprise that Lucifer's children (those who disguise themselves as angels of light), also oppose and do violence to the truth. Why? Because the flesh is hostile towards God's law (Romans 8:7). Which is why John writes that not everyone is a child of God (1 John 3:10) - which is contrary to today's church teaching (unless the god they refer to is Lucifer).
