Consider...

Yahweh does not change!

Malachi 3: 6 For I am the LORD, I change not;

But many have believed Satan’s lie that He changed in His Son who came in the flesh in Y’shua/Jesus... but neither did He …nor does He change according to Hebrews 13: 8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." As a matter of fact what Hebrews does talk about changing is the "priesthood" as Messiah Y'shua is now our High Priest. This of course will also bring changes within the "law". This in no way implies any changes in the standards Yah has laid out for His set apart family in His instructions or Torah.

The law/Torah is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good. But many have believed Satan’s lie that it is bondage or that it was nailed to the cross. Just read Romans 7: 12 "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good". It can't be both bondage and holy.

Colossians 2: 14 says “the handwriting of ordinances that were against us were nailed to the cross and taken out of the way”. Many erroneously believe that is referring to Yahwehs’ commands.
How can His commands be ‘bondage” or “against us” when Proverbs 6: 3 says this about His law, “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.”

All of Psalms 119 is about loving and cherishing Yahweh's law and delighting in all of His counsel. How can it be anything but good for us? Would a God of love give us instructions that were too hard to bear or not for our good? Just what kind of Father do you believe He is?

Is it possible that Paul spoke of more than one "law" and maybe there was only "one" English word to use for translating all of them? That would certainly show that we have not been "rightly dividing the word of truth", would it not?

If Yahweh's commandments/ law is "the way of life" and Satan wishes to destroy your life, don't you think one of His plans would be to try and steal from you "the way of life"?
What better way to steal that from you than to convince you through a slick twisting of scriptures and what they really mean. Peter warned about the writings of Paul being twisted by those unlearned in the scriptures.

Many wrongly say that no one can obey all of Yahweh’s instructions but that’s just another lie from Satan. For it is the very death of our Messiah that is mocked with that proclamation. His commandments are His definition of love.

Y'shua's death is what sets us free from sin. And you are made free from the “law of sin and death” through the cross. That does not mean that you no longer have to worry about your sin, on the contrary,
Hebrew 10: 29 says, "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
His death has made it possible for you to be able to obey with a desire in your heart to do so. Read Jeremiah 31: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
Do you not understand what it means to have His Torah written on your heart. That is the “new covenant”! It’s called grace. But again, you have believed the lie that grace gives you a license to throw out all the instructions that Yah gives and you can now make up your on standards for living. What did Paul have to say about that:
Romans 3:
31 Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.

Most try to claim someone is merely trying to “earn” their salvation when they speak of obeying Yahweh’s laws. Oh really? What did Y’shua/Jesus say about His commandments?
John 14: 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Most believe Y’shua/Jesus gave a “new” commandment, but they need to learn how to rightly divide the word because “HE” does not change it is the same from the beginning.
2 John
5 And now I ask you, Kuria, not as though I wrote a fresh command to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.; 6 And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

Many say that it’s only a law of love now, but we need to understand that love is what was taught from the beginning.
Matthew 22:
37 And Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great command. 39 “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.”

We need to give it a good study and see that all of those instructions that we have allowed Satan to convince us to be bondage are the very instructions of our Father on how it is “HE” wants us to express that love….towards Him and our neighbor.

He has now made a way for it to be possible for us to obey those instructions but we are too busy trying to convince ourself and others of a lie instead of taking the time to “prove it” with the scriptures. 1 Thessallonians 5: 21 says, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil."

We are clearly told in scripture NOT to let anyone outside of the body of Messiah to judge us in food or on Sabbaths or feast days, ...but because of a lack of understanding and everyone just rehashing what someone else has taught, most of us believe that that verse tells us we can eat whatever we want and call any day a sabbath and disregard the appointed times of our Father Yahweh. They are erroneously called the "Jew's holidays". Maybe that's because they were the only ones who were keeping them. There again, the term "Jew" has been used to mean different things. When will we learn to rightly divide the word?

Now here is the one that really blows the mind:
Do you really think that those who are trying to show you that it is a good thing to obey Yah and to follow His instructions are the ones that are preaching “another gospel” or… are leading people down some wicked cultic path? Or maybe "they" are the ones scripture speaks of about "falling away in the last days". Really? If so, here is your logic: “Look at those people doing what the scriptures say…Look at those people following those “feast days of Yahweh”…look at those people who are “keeping His Sabbaths”….the nerve of them folks trying to be so obedient to the scriptures, which are the instructions from our Creator”.
???
Can you not see how wacked that view is?
Go and meditate on Psalms 119. Consider it diligently.



Do we really think that all those instructions in His Torah/law were given and all that blood was shed just so one day He could tell us that those things are “old” and passed away …that they no longer apply…and that somehow “we” are more special than all those just because we have some philosophical understanding and get a warm fuzzy feeling with the head knowledge of the Messiah" and now all we have to do is stay busy with "this worldly life" and call on Him when "we" need it, until He "snatches us away from the hard times ahead"? As though "we" are above being tried in the fire. That "rapture before tribulation", is just another lie. He said we would have to endure tribulation and the world would hat us just as it hated Him.
We should stop assuming that the first part of the bible is only about stoning people and bloody sacrifices. Was our heavenly Father not worthy of animals sacrificed in His honor or to glorify Him; Yet animals are slaughtered all the live long day for our gluttonous consumption without a second thought.
All of His words were given for our instruction and correction. His words are life. His commandments are how we determine what "sin" is.
We need a savior because we know that we have sinned when we understand what sin is after learning it in His word. If there is no more instructions as to what sin is, how then do you tell someone they need a savior?
And after we have met our redeemer in Y'shua Messiah and accepted His blood as our atonement it should be even more of a pleasure to obey our Father and apply all of His instructions to our life, not toss them out as though they are some burdensome bother that had us in bondage.

One of the biggest lies of all is to believe that it doesn't matter anymore. IT DOES matter. It's a blood covenant now. He gave His life. No one took it. Don't let it be in vain for you.
Yahweh have mercy on us all.

Only Yahweh can open the eyes of the blind, so may it be that none of us will assume that we have it all figured out and have no further need to search out the riches that He has provided in His word.




Consider these matters diligently and prayerfully desiring to see the truth from Father Yah.

And That's the "Good News"...?


And so the great commission was to go out into all the world and share the "good news".

Which apparently was:

"God's instructions were nailed to the cross.

Worship the Almighty Creator however you want.

Even mix your worship with pagan elements; After all, time has erased their meaning so God don't mind it anymore. I guess He does change for stuff like that.

There are no set apart days anymore; That stuff about the Sabbath being a “sign forever” was just temporary.

Those animals that eat refuge and other diseased things that were created to help clean up things on this earth magically become clean and designed for human consumption, when they enter through the mouth so eat whatever you want.

Put all of your efforts into gaining riches. You know? Being worldly and living the “American Dream”.

Love means tolerate anything; So don't go hating or avoiding anybody for their sexual preference or whatever they do that’s different than you.

All you really gotta' do is believe; Just like the devils believe.

You really, really don't have to be holy, “set-apart” from the world. Just blend in and follow whatever everybody else does. It's all good."

Just remember to say your prayers every now and then. Pay the pastors and evangelists good salaries since they do all the seeking on your behalf. Just overlook that little part in the NEW word of God in 1 Timothy about there being no mediator between you and God except “the man Christ Jesus”. We got pastors now that do that kinda’ stuff for us. Saves us a lot of time and trouble.

Because all that really matters is that you love God. If you get that mushie feeling inside then you’re good to go. But loving Him is not according to how “He” says it in those instructions, the Torah; The ones that He gave us because He loves us and wants us to be blessed. You know? Those instructions that King David exalted and wrote so much about in the Psalms? Psalms 119 The whole chapter!
No No! Don't go by those instructions.
Just love Him however you decide!
And love your neighbor as you love yourself. Again not according to God's instructions since they were “done away”, just whatever you decide. Or just figure it out as you go.


And that's fulfilling ALL the “law” just like Jesus did right? And if we do just like he did we can rightly call ourselves his followers.

Wasn’t all that “law” stuff called our “school master” anyway, which was just to lead us to what we needed all along?; The Savior.
And you know what we do when school is out? Throw out everything we learn! Never use it again! And forget about it! Right?

Just never mind that the prophet Jeremiah said that God would write it all on our hearts. We know that it was all nailed to the cross.

And that’s the “good news”!

NOT!!!

I do hope that it is understood that I wrote this being rather facetious. And trying to bring to light how the truth has been twisted and distorted to appear as though it is the very opposite of what it truly is.

"Get In The Game"!


Because others are still blind is it wrong for me to rejoice that Yah has opened my eyes?

Because others seem content in the traditions they have grown to love is it wrong that I rejoice in learning His appointed times?

Because others are comfy right where they are is it wrong that I celebrate coming out of Egypt as though it's wrong to even speak of and compare to where I was verses where I am now?

Because others refuse to think that they could possibly be wrong is it wrong for me to rejoice that Yah has shown me that His chosen diet really is better for me?

Because no one has reached perfection yet is it wrong for me to rejoice that I have grown if even in the slightest in His truth?

Oh but I am in a race! Running for the prize!

I will rejoice at every hurdle I clear and every turn I hold. Heck, I'll even stop and help a fallen mate get back on track. That is love, if they'll have it.

But I will keep at the race and I will do it with zeal.

It's not pride at all. It's the spirit of joy! And the rejuvenation of life that I receive in this race that keeps me yelling at the bench warmers to "Get in the game!"

How could it possibly be wrong to bid someone to live?

Eze_33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

"Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deu 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
