Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. The fruit of the Spirit But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, es, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law. The passage you quoted from Galatians 5:22-23 shows the harvest of a life governed by the Holy Spirit. To see how these fruits mature in a believer's life, we can arrange them in a deliberate, progressive order—moving from our inner relationship with the Father, to how we treat our neighbors, and finally to our internal guard rails. Against these things, there is no law because they are the literal fulfillment of the righteous requirements of God's Torah. 🍇 The Fruit of the Spirit in Progressive Order 1.Love (Agape): The Foundation of Everything. The primary fruit from which all others grow. Scripture defines this love very clearly: "This is love for God: to keep his commands" (1 John 5:3). It is a sacrificial commitment to do what is right by God and others, regardless of feelings. 2.Joy:The Vertical Reality. A deep-seated gladness rooted in your identity as a child of God, completely independent of your physical circumstances. It is the immediate result of knowing your sins are forgiven and that your name is written in Heaven. 3.Peace:The Quiet Rest. The internal tranquility that comes from being aligned with the Father. As Romans 8:6 states, "the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." It is the assurance that the Master is in total control. 4.Forbearance (Patience):The Horizontal Anchor . The capacity to endure hardship, delay, or provocation without resentment or retailiation. It mirrors the Father's long-suffering nature toward us when we stumble. 5.Kindness:The Outward Expression. Patience in action. It is the sweet, approachable disposition that moves you to look out for the needs of your brothers and sisters, speaking words that build up rather than tear down. 6.Goodness:The Moral Compass. Active virtue and uprightness. Goodness is the physical execution of God’s commandments in daily life—doing what is right and clean in a world that loves dirt and compromise. 7.Faithfulness:The Covenant Grip. Reliability, loyalty, and steadfast adherence to the truth. A faithful person keeps their word to their neighbor and stays fiercely loyal to the commands of Yehovah, even when it costs them financially or socially. 8.Gentleness:The Controlled Strength. Power under submission. It is the opposite of pride, arrogance, and a demanding spirit. It allows you to correct a straying brother or answer a harsh critic with humility instead of matching their anger. 9.Self-Control:The Final Guard Rail. The ability to master your own fleshly impulses, appetites, and temper. It is the physical mechanism by which you "put to death the misdeeds of the body" (Romans 8:13), keeping yourself firmly on the narrow path. ⚖️ Why "Against Such Things There Is No Law" People often misunderstand verse 23, thinking it means the Law has been abolished. In reality, it means the exact opposite: The Law exists to restrain, condemn, and punish evil. There is no law on God's books—or man's books—that penalizes a person for being too loving, too joyful, too faithful, or too self-controlled. When the Holy Spirit produces this fruit in your life, you are naturally fulfilling the very heart of the Torah. The Law cannot condemn a branch that is bursting with the right fruit. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. 1John3 1 Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.…1 John 5 Life Through the Spirit 8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[ a ] free from the law of sin and death . 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b ] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c ] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d ] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e ] his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f ] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g ] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

These three words, show God's love by Obedience, the only place to find Truth is in His Torah, and if we are not in His spirit we can't, please Him.  The thing that haunts me most in life is on the day of judgment, you say Daddy why didn't you make me listen?      DAD    God Gave Me You To my beautiful daughters and your families, I want to tell you how deeply proud I am of each of you as daughters, wives, and mothers—and of your husbands as fathers and sons. Why I Am Sharing This I originally planned to give you my book, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, and the DVD The Way before I went into surgery. The DVD explains why your mother and I felt called to leave the traditional church, and I wanted you to have these resources in case I didn't make it through, hoping they would inspire you to study. Because of publishing delays and editing errors with the initial printing, I had to rewrite the book. Between both books, there are over 60,000 words and 700 Scripture verses. I believe God inspired this work—waking me up at 3:00 AM morning after morning with verses that expose how far modern church traditions have strayed from His actual Word. Returning to God's Instructions God tells us that the whole duty of man is to keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13). The church calls this "the Law," but God calls them His instructions for life. It comes down to a fundamental choice: Will we obey His commandments as His Son did, leading to eternal life, or follow man-made traditions that lead to separation from Him? (John 3:36). What is Sin? Scripture defines sin as breaking God’s commandments (1 John 3:4). The Proof of Being Born Again: Those who are born of God do not make a habit of practicing sin (1 John 3:9). The Cross: Yeshua paid for our sins and nailed the curse of the law to the cross—not the instructions themselves (Galatians 3:13). He showed us how to live by keeping the Sabbath, honoring His Feast Days, and following His food laws. The Promise: We are called to repent, be baptized in the name of Yeshua, and receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38) as we look forward to His coming Kingdom on the new earth (Luke 4:43). My Own Awakening I used to think my good deeds made me righteous. I attended church twice a week, led Bible studies, handed out tens of thousands of tracts, fed the homeless, built Christian websites, and opened our home to strangers. Yet despite all of that, I was ignoring God’s plain words in Leviticus, setting aside His Sabbath, and celebrating traditions rooted in paganism. Most painfully, I hadn't taught my own children to keep His commandments as Jesus did. I wake up every day praying for a way to help you see the trap I was in. A Father's Heart I know this is a lot to process. But these are God’s own words, and those who belong to God listen to His words (John 8:47). As your father, I will never stop trying to protect your earthly and eternal well-being. God gave me this understanding, and I am giving it to you out of love. The one thing I cannot bear is the thought of standing before God on Judgment Day and hearing you say: "Daddy, why didn't you make me listen?" With all my love, Dad

Hebrews 8:10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

God calls homosexuality an abomination, the same abomination he calls eating pork. He calls certain animals unclean and He says don't eat them or touch them. This a sobering truth, you are questioning and refusing to obey commands in which you will be held accountable. Leviticus Food Laws Did Jesus declare all food clean, and abolish the food laws? Number 1# food you shouldn't eat Should Christians eat pork? video What does the Bible say about eating meat? Was Peter's vision really about food? Health Laws Why I dont eat pork Dieity Laws What food should I avoid? Knowing and loving God Deuteromy 13 1-7 Matthew 24:24 2 Peter 2:1 1 John 4:1 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 other Gods Not Human: God's nature is distinct from 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 ; He is not fallible like humans. Doesn't Lie: He does not speak falsehoods or deceive. Doesn't Change Mind: He doesn't regret or alter His plans or promises. Faithful to His Word: If God speaks or makes a promise, He will certainly act on it and make it good.Numbers 23:19 John 10:35 and scripture cannot be broken. 1 John 2:4, if someone claims to know God but does not keep his commandments, they are considered a liar, and the truth is not in them Leviticus Food Laws The word of Yehovah is completely uncompromised on this matter. The Scriptures do not Separate moral abominations from dietary abominations; the same Sovereign who defined sexual purity defined dietary holiness. In the New King James Version (NKJV), the most direct, sobering prophecy detailing exactly what the Father will do to those who willfully defy His dietary laws at the end of the age is found in the final chapter of Isaiah. 📖 The Final Verdict on Unclean Foods (NKJV) The Prophet Isaiah looks directly ahead to the second coming of the Messiah—the day of final sifting, fire, and recompense—and records the literal judgment awaiting those who choose to feast on what God called an abomination: Isaiah 66:15–17 (NKJV) 15 For behold, the Lord will come with fire And with His chariots like a whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by His sword The Lord will judge all flesh; And the slain of the Lord shall be many. 17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves In the gardens, Behind one tree in the midst, Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, Shall be consumed together,” says the Lord. 🔍 Sifting the Witness of the Text This passage strips away all modern, lawless excuses. Notice the precise details the Father emphasizes: The Timing is Final Judgment: This is not a local historical event. Verse 16 states that the Lord will judge all flesh by fire and His sword, and the slain of the Lord shall be many. This is the literal return of the King. The Deception of False Holiness: Verse 17 addresses people who "sanctify themselves and purify themselves." These are not atheists; these are deeply religious people who have invented their own customized versions of "cleansing" and grace, ignoring the written Torah while claiming they are right with God. The Explicit Sentence: The Father singles out swine's flesh (pork) and the mouse (representing all crawling, unclean rodents and vermin). He states with total authority that those actively indulging in these abominations "shall be consumed together." 🛑 A Sobering Truth for the Accountability Test The word translated as "abomination" in Leviticus 11 regarding unclean animals is the Hebrew word sheqets (detestable, filthy) . The word used for sexual perversion in Leviticus 18 is toevah (morally disgusting, an abomination). In the eyes of a holy Creator, both represent a total violation of His established order. To argue that one matters while the other is "done away with" is to pick and choose which parts of God's character you want to obey. As Isaiah 66 warns, on the day the books are opened, the standard will not be human consensus or church tradition—it will be the Spoken Word of Yehovah, and the willful rebellion of the flesh will meet a swift and terrible end. God calls homosexuality an abomination, the same abomination he calls eating pork. He calls certain animals unclean and He says don't eat them or touch them. This a sobering truth, you are questioning and refusing to obey commands in which you will be held accountable. New King James Version because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?” Mark 7:19 New International Version For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) What Defiles a Man …18“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.) 20He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.… ( In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) This was added after in translation on this is not scripture true man made Acts: 17:30 “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. ● Leviticus 11:24 “By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcasses of any of them shall be unclean until evening; 25 whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening: ● Isaiah 66: For by fire and by His sword. The Lord will judge all flesh, And the slain of the Lord shall be many. 17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves, to go into the gardens after an idol in the midst, eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together,” says the Lord. Isaiah 65: I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, 2 Who walk in a way that is not good, According to their own thoughts; 3 A people who provoke Me to anger continually to My face; Who sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on altars of brick; 4 Who sit among the graves, and spend the night in the tombs; Who eat swine’s flesh, And the broth of abominable things is in their vessels; So, this next verse is saying for us to bless Yehovah and the good provisions He gave us. Prayer after you have eaten. Deuteronomy 8: 10 When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. 11"Beware that you do not forget Yehovah your Elohim by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today; … This is something you should really consider, Yehovah gave us good and clean food to eat, however, we choose to turn our back on him and His restrictions. Have you ever considered why Yehovah told us not to eat certain animals for food? The animals He told us not to eat are scavengers, a bird or animal that feeds on dead animals that it has not killed itself. 9 “‘Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. 10 But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales— whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to regard as unclean. 11 And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. 1 2 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you. Leviticus 11. He will hold everyone accountable The Vision (Acts 10:9–16) Peter was hungry and fell into a trance. He saw a great sheet descending from heaven containing "all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds of the air." A voice told him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." Peter, being a devout Jew, refused, saying he had never eaten anything "common or unclean." The voice replied: "What God has made clean, do not call common." Peter’s Own Interpretation Initially, Peter was "greatly perplexed" by the vision. However, the meaning became clear when he was immediately invited to the home of Cornelius, a Roman Centurion (a Gentile). According to Jewish tradition at the time, Jews were not supposed to associate with or visit people of other nations because they were considered "unclean." Peter explicitly interprets the dream in Acts 10:28: "He said to them: 'You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.'" Summary of the Meaning The Symbol: The "unclean" animals in the sheet. The Reality: The Gentiles (non-Jewish people). While the animals weren't exactly "thrown up in the air," they were lowered from the sky in a large sheet held by its four corners. After the sheet was lowered and then "taken up" again three times, Peter eventually provided the specific interpretation for what the dream meant. 1. Land Animals For a land animal to be considered food, it had to meet two specific criteria simultaneously: It must have completely split hooves (cloven-footed). It must chew the cud (ruminate). StatusExamples Clean (Food)Cows, Sheep, Goats, Deer, Gazelles. Unclean (Forbidden)Pigs (split hoof, but no cud), Camels (cud, but no hoof), Rabbits (chew, but no hoof). 2. Sea Creatures For creatures living in the water (seas or rivers) to be considered food, they had to have: Fins Scales Anything that lives in the water but lacks both—such as shellfish (shrimp, lobster, crabs), eels, or sharks—was considered an "abomination" (shekets) and was not to be eaten. 3. Birds The Law does not give a specific physical "test" for birds like it does for mammals. Instead, Leviticus 11 lists 20 specific birds that are forbidden. The Rule of Thumb: Generally, birds of prey (eagles, hawks, vultures) and scavengers (ravens) are forbidden. Clean Birds: While not listed by name as "clean," birds like chicken, turkey, duck, and quail have traditionally been accepted because they are not scavengers. 4. Insects Most insects were forbidden, with one notable exception: locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers (insects that have "jointed legs for hopping on the earth"). Why these specific laws? There are three main perspectives on why Yehovah gave these instructions: Holiness and Separation: The primary reason given in the text is to make a distinction between Israel and the surrounding nations. To "belong" to Yehovah (as we discussed in John 8:47) meant even their diet reflected His order. Hygiene/Health: Many "unclean" animals are scavengers that carry parasites or toxins (like pork or shellfish). While the Bible focuses on the spiritual aspect, many see a secondary benefit in health. Symbolism: Some scholars argue that clean animals (like sheep) represent the peaceful nature of God's people, while unclean animals (like predators) represent violence and death. Knowing and loving God Deuteromy 13 1-7 Worshiping other G Not Human: God's nature is distinct from humanity; He is not fallible like humans. Doesn't Lie: He does not speak falsehoods or deceive. Doesn't Change Mind: He doesn't regret or alter His plans or promises. Faithful to His Word: If God speaks or makes a promise, He will certainly act on it and make it good.Numbers 23:19 John 10:35 1 John 2:4, if someone claims to know God but does not keep his commandments, they are considered a liar, and the truth is not in them Land Scavengers (The Pig/Swine) Because pigs are omnivorous scavengers with a very rapid digestive system, they act as a "reservoir" for various biological threats. Pathogens (Living): Trichinella spiralis: A parasitic roundworm that causes Trichinosis. The larvae encyst in the muscle tissue. +1 Yersinia enterocolitica: A bacteria that causes acute gastrointestinal distress, often found in pork products. Taenia solium: Known as the "pork tapeworm." If humans ingest the eggs, it can lead to Cysticercosis, where larvae migrate to the brain or muscles. Toxins (Chemical): High Histamine Levels: Swine have high levels of histamine, which can trigger inflammatory or allergic responses in some humans. Environmental Pollutants: Because pigs store waste in their fat cells due to fast digestion, they carry higher concentrations of pesticides and herbicides found in their feed compared to ruminants. Based on the biological facts we have discussed, here is a concentrated summary of the risks associated specifically with eating pork (swine). These risks stem from the animal's unique anatomy and its role as a scavenger. 1. Parasitic Risks (Living Organisms) Pork is a primary host for several parasites that can migrate from the meat into human tissue. Trichinella spiralis: This roundworm causes Trichinosis. When a human eats infected pork, the larvae mature in the intestines and then travel through the bloodstream to embed themselves in the person's muscle tissue. Taenia solium (Pork Tapeworm): Ingesting the larvae leads to intestinal tapeworms. However, ingesting the eggs (found in contaminated pork environments) causes Cysticercosis, where the larvae form cysts in the brain, which is a leading cause of seizures worldwide. 2. Digestive Efficiency and Toxins The most significant biological difference between "clean" ruminants (like cows) and "unclean" swine is how they process waste. Rapid Metabolism: A pig's digestive system is very simple and fast (roughly 4 hours). Unlike a cow, which has four stomach compartments to ferment and filter out toxins over 24 hours, the pig's system does not effectively neutralize or eliminate many of the poisons it consumes. Storage in Fat: Because toxins are not fully eliminated, they are stored in the animal’s adipose (fat) tissue. Since pork meat is "marbled" (fat is woven through the muscle), these toxins cannot be simply trimmed away. 3. Bacterial Pathogens Pork is a frequent carrier of several bacteria that thrive in the scavenger's environment. Yersinia enterocolitica: This is a common contaminant in pork. It causes fever and abdominal pain that is often mistaken for appendicitis. Listeria monocytogenes: Pork products, especially processed ones, are high-risk for Listeria, which is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. 4. Viral Risks Pigs are often referred to as "mixing vessels" for viruses because their cells are susceptible to both human and avian (bird) viruses. Hepatitis E: Research has shown that a significant percentage of commercial pork livers carry the Hepatitis E virus, which can cause acute liver inflammation in humans. Fact Check: Does Cooking Fix This? As established, while cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F can kill the parasites (like Trichinella), it does not remove the chemical toxins, heavy metals, or viruses that have been biologically integrated into the meat and fat. Natural Marine Biotoxins These are produced by microscopic algae (phytoplankton). Shellfish eat the algae, but the toxins do not hurt them; they just store them in their tissues. +1 Saxitoxins (PSP): Causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning. These are among the most poisonous natural substances known. They block nerve signals, leading to numbness, paralysis, and in severe cases, respiratory failure and death. +1 Domoic Acid (ASP): Causes Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning. This toxin can cross into the brain and destroy neurons. Symptoms include vomiting and confusion, and it can lead to permanent short-term memory loss or death. +1 Okadaic Acid (DSP): Causes Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning. This results in severe gastrointestinal distress (vomiting, cramps, and diarrhe a). +1 Brevetoxins (NSP): Causes Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning. These affect the sodium channels in the nervous system, leading to tingling sensations and loss of coordination. Fact: These biotoxins are heat-stable. This means that unlike bacteria, cooking, steaming, or freezing does not destroy them. If the toxin is in the meat, it remains dangerous no matter how well it is cooked. +2 2. Bacterial and Viral Pathogens Because shellfish are often found in coastal areas where runoff occurs, they concentrate human and animal waste products. Vibrio vulnificus: A bacteria naturally found in warm seawater. It can cause life-threatening blood infections (septicemia), especially in people with liver disease or weakened immune systems. Hepatitis A: A virus that affects the liver. Shellfish harvested from water contaminated by sewage are a major source of this virus. Norovirus: The leading cause of "stomach flu. " Shellfish concentrate this virus from the water, often leading to large outbreaks. 3. Heavy Metals and Pollutants As bottom-feeders, they are in constant contact with the sediment where pollutants settle. Mercury, Lead, and Cadmium: Shellfish can have levels of heavy metals many times higher than the surrounding water. Microplastics: Recent studies show that because they filter so much water, shellfish are one of the primary sources of microplastic ingestion for humans .

It is the one who is actively and currently engaged in disobeying the Word of God, habitually, without care or concern, without love for the Word, that does not have forgiveness. The unforgivable sin Unpardonable sin video What is the Unforgivable Sin? must watch Mark 3:29“but he who blasphemes (present tense) against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness but is subject to eternal condemnation “It does not state that the one who “blasphemed” (past tense) the Spirit never has forgiveness. At one time, we all blasphemed the Spirit because we all hated the Word of God...until we came into the faith and started growing to love the Word of God. Do you see the difference? This diagnostic test cuts straight through the religious fear surrounding the "unpardonable sin." It shines a light on the grammatical and spiritual truth of the present tense: the only sin that cannot be forgiven is the one a person is actively, currently, and habitually refusing to repent of. It draws the line between a past life of ignorance and a present life of defiance. 📋 The "Present-Tense Defiance vs. Repentance" Test Instructions: Look directly into the mirror of your current, everyday lifestyle. Answer these 4 simple questions to determine if you are walking in the life-giving flow of the Holy Spirit or actively hardening yourself in eternal condemnation. Question 1: The Tense of Your Walk In Mark 3:29, the Master uses the present active tense for blasphemy—meaning a continuous, ongoing action. Knowing that we all once walked in ignorance and hated the Word before coming into the faith, what is the current state of your heart toward God's instructions? A) Active Repentance & Love. You used to live without regard for the Torah, but today you love the Word of God. You have a driving desire to practice His commandments, proving that the Holy Spirit is actively moving your heart to go after His ways. B) Ongoing, Careless Defiance. You are currently and actively engaged in disobeying the Word of God habitually, without care, concern, or desire to change. You use religious phrases to cover a lifestyle that continuously rejects His commands. Question 2: The Hostility of the Flesh In Romans 8:7, Paul states: "For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will." When you are confronted with a clear law of God (like His Seventh-Day Sabbath or His dietary boundaries), how does your mind react? A) Controlled by the Spirit. Your mind submits to the Law. Even if it requires sacrificing your comfort, your job, or your family traditions, you choose to think about and do the things that please the Spirit. B) Dominated by the Sinful Nature. Your mind instantly rationalizes, makes excuses, or fights back against the command. You prove the flesh's hostility by insisting that God's laws do not apply to you. Question 3: Knowing Good and Choosing Otherwise James warns in James 4:17: "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin." Once the true knowledge of the Torah has been shown to you, what do you do with that accountability? A) Immediate Alignment. You realize that God will allow you to sin, but a day of reckoning is coming . You act immediately on the light you have been given, knowing you will reap exactly what you sow. B) Calculated Compromise. You see the truth clearly in scripture, but you choose to follow the crowd and the traditions of men anyway , willfully delaying obedience because the social or physical cost is too high. Question 4: The Mark of Belonging In John 8:47, Yeshua states: "The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." How do you handle the actual words of the Father? A) You Listen and Respond. Hearing the Word results in physical movement. You adjust your life, clean up your home, change your calendar, and walk just as the Messiah taught and practiced. B) You Turn Away. You have tasted the goodness of the Word, but like the warning in Hebrews 6:4–6, you choose to turn back to a lawless lifestyle, effectively nailing the Son to the cross again by treating His instructions with public shame. The Sovereign Verdict : Examine your checked boxes with absolute sobriety. The enemy loves to terrorize believers into thinking a past mistake has cut them off from grace forever. But the scripture is clear: if you love the Torah and desire to practice it today, you are not blaspheming the Spirit—because it is the Spirit alone that creates that desire within you. However, if your choices land on B, you are playing a terrifying game with the living God. To know the truth, to have tasted His goodness, and to choose continuous, present-tense defiance is to trample underfoot the only covenant that can save you. The Father will let you walk the broad road if you choose it, but do not fool yourself: the sieve is sifting, the harvest is coming, and a person will reap exactly what they are currently sowing. Turn back and obey while it is still called today. Reader pay attention It is the one who is actively and currently engaged in disobeying the Word of God, habitually, without care or concern, without love for the Word, that does not have forgiveness. Thus, if you love the Word of God, and have a desire to practice the Word of God, then you are not blaspheming or despising the Spirit of God...because it is the Spirit of God that is the desire in our heart to go after His Torah. There is a difference between currently being unrepentant and blaspheming the Spirit or hating the Word of God....that person never has forgiveness....and then the person that blasphemed the Spirit and repented, and loves to walk in His Torah just as our Messiah taught and practiced...it is he that has forgiveness. Make no mistake, God will allow you to defy and disobey Him. He will allow you to follow the crowd and the traditions of men. He will allow you to sin. But He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap! “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” James 4:17 4 For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— 6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame Hebrew 6:4 5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. 8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. Romans 8:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47

Proverbs 30:4 How the Tabernacle of Moses Was Really Built — Every Detail Revealed A letter from Yehovah My name is Yehovah, I am the creator of everything, and everything is mine, you and your children are mine.

Numbers 23:19 And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. John 10:35 Yeshua and the Samaritan Woman …23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth. ” 25The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” The Torah Nothing in the law of Yehovah has been removed, ended, destroyed, deleted, or applied differently whether Jew or Gentile (Christian) Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, God will take away from that person any share in the Tree of Life and blot your name from the Book of Life. Revelation 22:18-19 DEUTERONOMY 4:2 Ignorant people and people who aren't sure of what they believe distort what Paul says in his letters the same way they distort the rest of the Scriptures. These people will be destroyed. 2 Peter 3:16 My name means “He Saves”, I choose who is saved and who is not. I give my Grace as a gift to those who are being saved. Ephesians 2:8 I require everyone to keep all my commandments and statutes. This is your purpose in life. Ecclesiastes 12:13 I made a covenant before with a stiff-necked people and they broke it, building a golden calf to worship me. Exodus 32:34. I am Spirit and you will worship me in Spirit and truth. John 4:24 So I made a new covenant with the "people of Israel and Judah, Ephesians 2: 19, Ephesians 3:6 I put my laws in their hearts, and I wrote them on their minds. Jeremiah 31:31 You must be grafted into Israel because all of Israel will be saved Ephesians 2:18-19 1 Peter 2:10 Romans 11”23 & 26 You are to live a righteous life without sin, 1 John 3:10 you are to be holy as for I am holy.1 Peter 1:16 I require everyone to love and obey my Son, anyone who doesn't obey my Son and does not live as He did will 1 John 2:6 never experience eternal life but remains under My angry judgment. John 3:36. If you want to enter into life, keep my commandments." Matthew 19:17 I give the ones I have chosen to my Son for salvation Ephesians 1: 4. I have overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now I command everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to Me and My Torah; My instructions. For I have set a day for judging the world, you and your children with justice, by my Son Acts 17:30. Every one of you is destined to die, Hebrews 9:27 because the wages of sin is death, you are one breath away, one heartbeat away from my judgment Romans 6:23. REPENT and live. My Son’s name is Yeshua, He is a Hebrew Jew from the lineage of David. His name means salvation. It is by His name alone, that you can be saved. Acts 4:12" No one can come to him unless I draw them, John 6:44 Everyone must be born again to enter My Kingdom here on earth Rev. 21:1;4:1 Timothy 1:7. John 3:3 Those who have been born into my family do not make a practice of sinning, because my life (spirit) is in them. So, they can't keep on sinning, because they are my children. 1 John 3:9 You must believe that Yeshua is my Son, that He gave His life for your sins, and that I raised Him from the dead. Romans 10:9 He gave up His spirit and was put in the belly of the earth, for 3 days and 3 nights. (72 hours) Matthew 12:40 Then I raised him on My Sabbath day. You must have faith so strong that it moves you into action. If your faith doesn't create works, your faith is dead. Biblical faith means you are devoted to Yeshua and your devotion can be seen in how you live. 2 Corinthians 5:7 You must obey him, John 3:36 and live as He did, He kept the Leviticus food laws, My Sabbaths, My feast days, and all my commandments. He was without sin. 1 Peter 2:22 You must confess with your mouth that Yeshua is LORD. And not be ashamed of it, Romans 10:9 You must deny yourselves and take up your cross and follow him. Matthew 16:24, You must believe and be baptized Acts 2:38 Mark 16:16 and when you have received my spirit you will refuse to practice sinning 1John 3:9., and you can only enter through the narrow gate, that only a few find it in. Matthew 7: 13. You must stand firm to the end and you will be saved. Matthew 24:13 REPENT and live. When I look at you what will I see? and say to you? Well done my good and faithful servant. Matthew 25:21 Or will I say to you. “I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break My laws. Matthew 7:23” Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 13:28' Yehovah REPENT and live

Anyone that leads others away from obedience to Gods commandments is a false prophet your pastors have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; False Prophet False Salvation This diagnostic test tackles the scriptural criteria for identifying spiritual deception. I t directly contrasts the compromising, blind guides who water down the Torah for social acceptance or financial gain with the uncompromised standard of the good tree—one whose roots are anchored in the Law and whose physical fruits match the walk of the Messiah. 📋 The "Deception, Discipleship, and Fruit" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions honestly to evaluate the teaching you listen to, the leadership you follow, and the true nature of the fruit your own life is producing. Question 1: The Test of a Teacher (Deuteronomy 13 & Ezekiel 22) In Ezekiel 22:26, Yehovah rebukes the spiritual leaders, stating: "Her priests have done violence to My law... they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane... and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths." According to the strict standard of Deuteronomy 13, how do you measure the legitimacy of a pastor, teacher, or guide? A) By Covenant Fidelity. If a teacher speaks smooth words but leads people away from keeping the Father's commandments, Sabbaths, and dietary boundaries, you recognize them biblical definition as a false prophet, no matter how large their ministry is . B) By Charisma and Popularity. You judge a leader by their eloquence, their emotional messages, or the size of their congregation, overlooking the fact that they actively teach against or minimize the continuing validity of the Torah. Question 2: The Definition of Fruit In Matthew 12:33, the Master declares: "The tree is known by its fruit." True fruit is not merely having a high intellectual understanding of the Bible, nor is it a set of emotional feelings. Based on scripture, what is the true definition of good fruit? A) Wholehearted Application . Good fruit is the visible, tangible result of a life that hears, understands, and physically does the Word of God—keeping the commandments and walking precisely as Yeshua walked (1 John 2:6). B) Verbal Confession and Intellect. You view fruit as talking about the Bible, debating theology, or having a sentimental affection for Jesus, even if the daily lifestyle remains completely unchanged and lawless. Question 3: The Evidence of the Seed The scripture states in 1 John 3:9–10: "Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning... Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God." Knowing that sin is defined as the transgression of the Law, what does your spiritual DNA reveal? A) Born of God. The seed of the Word remains in you, causing a deep internal resistance to breaking the Torah. You cannot comfortably live in ongoing, willful lawlessness because your life is dedicated to practicing righteousness. B) Children of Disobedience. You continue to follow human traditions and cultural habits that violate the commandments, rationalizing that "nobody is perfect" to justify an ongoing lifestyle of disobedience. Question 4: The Cost of Sowing in Good Soil The text explains that the one sown on good soil hears, understands, and produces fruit. However, the wholehearted application of the Word of God brings intense tribulation to the soul—including physical, social, economic, and emotional challenges. How do you respond to suffering for the sake of the Kingdom? A) You Endure the Fire. You choose the narrow path of obedience even when it causes painful rifts with family, financial loss, or social rejection, counting it an honor to suffer for the truth. B) You Avoid the Friction . You choose comfort and ease. If a commandment of God (like the Seventh-Day Sabbath) threatens your modern job, your hobbies, or your social standing, you quickly drop it to avoid the cost. The Separation Verdict: Examine your checked boxes with absolute candor. The mirror does not lie. If your choices consistently land on B, you are being led by the very wolves and blind guides the prophets warned about. True righteousness is not a theory; it is a practiced reality. Trees that refuse to bear the fruit of obedience are not neutral—the Master warned they are cut down and cast into the fire. Stop letting lawless teaching soothe your conscience. If you love the Messiah, turn your face away from the traditions of men, open your eyes to His Sabbaths, and let the good soil of your heart produce the uncompromised fruit of the Torah. False Prophet Anyone that leads others away from obedience to Gods commandments is a false prophet. Deuteronomy 13 Test In Ezekiel, Yehovah describes how pastors are doing violence to His laws. Ezekiel 22:26 "Her priests (your pastors) have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 "Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain.… God says: Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. (Sin is transgression of the law) Yeshua uses the analogy of fruit and trees to identify false prophets. The fruit is the understanding of the Word of God as demonstrated in the results of a life that has understood and applied the Word of God accurately. Matthew 12:33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. The tree is the person, the fruit is the resulting quality of life (not the understanding of the Word of God but rather its proper application). There are many who understand and don’t apply and therefore do not yield good fruit) — the person is known by its fruit or lack thereof. Notice that it defines what was sown in the soil to produce the good tree — hears, understands, and produces good fruit as it was already defined as a good tree. The wholehearted application of the Word of God, or doing the Word of God, will bring tribulation to the soul in physical, social, economic, psychological, and emotional challenges…or sufferings for the sake of the kingdom – Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. So, then how do we qualify or disqualify the fruit that Yeshua is talking about? However, one who has a heart that chooses to disregard God's law has NO DESIRE to follow God's law. Matthew 7:20 Thus, by their fruit, you will recognize them Matt. 7:15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves Verse 16 “By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? “ Matthew 7:17 “Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” Matthew 7:18... “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” ” This lets us know what should be in the heart of all His people. And IF... it’s in our heart, then IT WILL BE our desire to pursue. And if it’s NOT in one's heart then it will be evidenced in their desire to NOT pursue it. You either desire to obey it OR you desire to disregard it. They CAN’T be mixed. It seems hard to make a judgment about your pastor as a false prophet when your lifestyle is the same as theirs. The fruit that we are to watch out for is the choosing to disregard God's law. Everything else can be blended but there is no blending the desire to obey and the desire to disregard God's Law. It’s one or the other in the eyes of the Father. And remember, breaking one law is like breaking all of it. Proverbs 15:13 The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked make themselves a stench and bring shame on themselves. Proverbs 14:11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, But the tent of the upright will flourish. 12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 1 John 3:5 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, (sin is transgression of the law). 1 John 3:9 Because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 (By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished:) Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who doesn't love his brother. 11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. The next verses should confirm for persons who challenge Yehovah’s word with cherry-picked verses that are taken out of context. Or those who make statements suggesting Yehovah is somehow punishing Israel and blessing the church. Essentially saying there are different rules for different groups. Isaiah 53:6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the Yehovah has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.… Yeshua. ● Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? 1 Corinthians 3:3 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 John 3:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ● Ecclesiastes 12:14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Proverbs 28: 9 He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. 10 He who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, But the blameless will inherit good.… ● Proverbs 2:1 My son, if you will receive my words and treasure my commandments within you; 2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding; … 2 Peter 3: 6 He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard not to be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.… 1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them. “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith. “Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” Yeshua has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Yeshua, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The Diagnostic Test — Spirit of Truth or Spirit of Tradition? Use these four questions to examine yourself or guide a brother or sister through honest self-reflection: 1. The Humility Test (John 16:13 & Acts 17:11) The Question: When clear biblical evidence exposes that an inherited church belief or holiday violates Scripture, what is your immediate response? Spirit of Truth: "Let God be true and every man a liar." You yield to the text, repent, and abandon the tradition, regardless of the personal or family cost. Spirit of Tradition: You become defensive, dismiss the study, justify church custom, or claim "God knows my heart." 2. The Obedience Test (1 John 2:3–4 & John 14:15) The Question: “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Do you strive to obey His commandments, or do you view His law as a burden? Spirit of Truth: Obedience is your act of love and fruit of repentance. Spirit of Tradition: Uses grace as an excuse for disobedience, claiming the commandments don't apply anymore. 3. The Authority Test (Mark 7:7–9) The Question: When God's Word says one thing and your denomination or favorite preacher says another, who wins? Spirit of Truth: Scripture alone holds final authority over doctrine and daily life. Spirit of Tradition: Denominational catechisms, pastors' opinions, and family heritage overrule the text. 4. The Name Test (Matthew 1:21 & Acts 4:12) The Question: When shown that Gabriel assigned the Hebrew name Yeshua ("Yahweh is Salvation"), carrying the Father's personal redemptive signature, does your spirit leap to honor it, or do you despise its Hebrew origin? Spirit of Truth: Receives the name with reverent joy, marveling at the Father's salvation. Spirit of Tradition: Clings to familiarity and mocks or rejects the original Hebrew truth. Part 3: The Watchman’s Mandate “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” — Ezekiel 3:17–19 To the Reader: This warning is delivered to you not in hatred, but in urgent love. You have now been shown the mirror of Scripture. The difference between what God commanded and what man instituted is clear. In Romans 8:1–14, Paul sets up an absolute, binary divide. There is no middle ground or third category: a person is either governed by the mind of the flesh (sarx) or the Spirit of God (Pneuma). Paul does not frame this test around emotional experiences or external religious performance, but around dominion, mindset, and alignment with God's law. 1. The Starting Position: Condemnation vs. Freedom (vv. 1–4) What God Said: The Mosaic Law was holy and just, but it was "weakened by the flesh"—it could command righteousness, but human nature could not produce it. God fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. The Mark of Having the Spirit: The believer walks "not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (v. 4). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set them free from the law of sin and death. The Contrast: The flesh is trapped under an endless cycle of command, failure, and condemnation. The Spirit produces an internal reality where the demand of God's Word is actively loved and lived out. 2. The Mindset Test: Setting the Affections (vv. 5–6) "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." (vv. 5–6) The Mind of the Flesh: Governed by temporal preservation, self-elevation, appetites, and autonomous human reasoning. Its ultimate end is spiritual decay and death. The Mind of the Spirit: Preoccupied with what honors God—truth, holiness, obedience, and kingdom purposes. The Test: What does the mind naturally drift toward when unrestrained? The flesh defaults to self-interest; the Spirit defaults to God's will, resulting in inner stability (life and peace). 3. The Authority Test: Hostility vs. Submission (vv. 7–8) "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (vv. 7–8) This is the diagnostic core of Paul’s argument: The Flesh Cannot Submit: The natural human heart views God's absolute authority as an imposition or a threat to autonomy. Even when outwardly observant, it negotiates, modifies, or excuses disobedience. It is fundamentally at war with "God Said." The Inability to Please God: Good deeds, religious ceremonies, or moral philosophies done under the impulse of the flesh remain unacceptable to God because the underlying will has never surrendered. 4. The Ownership Test: The Indwelling Presence (vv. 9–11) "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him." (v. 9) Paul’s Binary Conclusion: You either possess the Spirit and belong to Christ, or you do not have the Spirit and are alien to Him. There is no category of a Christian who lacks the Spirit of Christ. The Internal Witness: If Christ is in you, the natural body remains subject to physical death because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of imputed and imparted righteousness (v. 10). The Guarantee: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead acts as a residing power, imparting resurrection life even to mortal bodies to walk in holiness now (v. 11). 5. The Mortification and Sonship Test (vv. 12–14) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (vv. 12–14) Active Mortification: Having the Spirit does not mean passive sinlessness; it means active warfare. The true believer does not coddle the flesh or make peace with compromise—they actively put to death the misdeeds of the body through the Spirit's power. Led by the Spirit: In biblical context, being "led by the Spirit" in verse 14 does not refer primarily to mystical nudges about career or life choices; it refers directly to being led away from sin and into righteousness. Summary Table: Romans 8 Diagnostic Diagnostic Marker The Mind of the Flesh (Lacking the Spirit) The Mind of the Spirit (Having the Spirit) Primary Impulse Self-preservation, worldly interest, autonomy (v. 5) Righteousness, divine purpose, eternal truth (v. 5) Relation to God's WordHostile, resisting, unable to submit (v. 7) Submissive, fulfilled by the Spirit's power (v. 4, 7) Spiritual Fruit Death, alienation, inability to please God (vv. 6, 8) Life, peace, reconciliation with the Father (v. 6) Daily Habit Indulging or rationalizing the body's appetites (vv. 12–13) Actively mortifying the deeds of the flesh (v. 13) Identity Debtor to the fallen nature; outside Christ (vv. 9, 12) P ossessed by Christ; confirmed son/daughter of God (vv. 9, 14)

Messianic Teachings for Christians if you have the courage to face scriptural truth watch the videos And this is love: Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 1 John 2:4 We must walk in accordance with His commandments and be guided continually by His precepts. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ has forgiven you. Meditate on His creation is marvelous in its beauty, detail, and usefulness, and His thoughts are deeper than any human being can comprehend. His ways are not our ways. His word never changes. Begin your Bible Study study with prayer and reverence it's the word of God. Set aside time every day to meditate on God's Word and what His Son did for us. How you live your life shows God and man what you Believe, Searching for the truth about a relationship with God Messianic teachings for Christians. Teachings we learned when going to church that is contrary to the bible click on the picture Judgments and Promises Isaiah 65:2 1“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ 2All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,… 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. Through him, we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. You are my friends if you do what I command. “If you love me, keep my commands. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man, the many will be made righteous.

you must be grafted into Israel to be saved. If you have been baptized in Yeshua’s name, have repented, received the Holy Spirit and are living like your Savior lived, you are automatically grafted into Israel; you are a spiritual Jew. (did you know Jesus is a Jew) He answered, "I was sent only to Grafted into Israel All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”… In the context of Romans 11, where Paul uses the analogy of the olive tree, the cultivated olive tree primarily represents God's covenant people, Israel. Here's a breakdown of the symbolism: The Root: The root of the cultivated olive tree symbolizes the foundational promises and covenants God made with the patriarchs, particularly Abraham (Romans 11:18). It represents the rich spiritual heritage and the source of blessing from God. The Natural Branches: These represent the Jewish people, who are the natural descendants of Abraham and were the original recipients of God's covenant promises. The Wild Olive Branches (Gentiles): These represent the Gentiles (non-Jewish people) who, through faith in Christ, are grafted into this existing covenant relationship. The Nourishing Root: By being grafted in, the Gentiles share in the "nourishing root" of the cultivated olive tree, meaning they partake in the spiritual blessings, salvation, and relationship with God that flow from His covenant promises. Therefore, the olive tree in Romans 11 is not just any tree; it's a specific symbol of God's chosen people and the established covenant through which blessings flow. The grafting of the Gentiles into this tree illustrates how they become part of God's people and recipients of His grace through faith in Jesus Christ, despite not being natural descendants of Abraham. 1. The Equality of Faith (Romans 10:12) This is perhaps the most direct "no difference" statement in the Bible. "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile —the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him." 2. The Unity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) This verse is often cited as the definitive statement on Christian equality across all social and ethnic boundaries. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus." 3. The New Humanity (Colossians 3:11) Paul explains that in the "new self," traditional worldly divisions lose their significance. "Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." 4. Equality in Sin and Grace (Romans 3:22–23) Paul uses the "no difference" argument to show that everyone starts on the same level playing field regarding the need for salvation. "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Twelve Tribes of Israel This diagnostic test uses Paul’s agricultural analogy from Romans 11 to address the reality of identity. It forces the reader to confront whether they are truly drawing nourishment from the root of Israel, or simply trying to paste their own traditions onto a tree they don't fully respect. 📋 The "Grafted-In" Olive Tree Test Instructions: Answer these 4 simple questions to determine if your walk reflects a branch that has truly joined the native, covenant commonwealth of Israel, or if you are living like a severed, wild branch. Question 1: The Direction of the Graft In Romans 11:17, Paul states that some of the natural branches were broken off, and you—a wild olive shoot—were grafted in among them to share in the nourishing root. When you enter into salvation through the Messiah, what tree do you believe you are joining? A) You realize you are being joined directly to the historical, covenant commonwealth of Israel, meaning you must now draw your lifestyle and instructions from the same Hebrew root that sustains the tree. B) You believe you have joined a brand-new, Westernized "Gentile Church" that replaces Israel, allowing you to ignore the old root entirely and create your own customs. Question 2: The Attitude Toward the Root Paul gives a strict warning in Romans 11:18: "Do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: you do not support the root, but the root supports you." How do you view the foundational Torah, the Hebrew patriarchs, and the original instructions of the Father? A) You honor and submit to them, recognizing that the covenants, the laws, and the promises given to Israel are the very lifeblood that supports your faith today. B) You view the Old Testament, the Sabbaths, and the instructions of the Torah as an inferior, "done-away-with" system, boasting in a lawless grace that cuts you off from the historical root. Question 3: The True Nature of the Fruit When a wild branch is successfully grafted into a cultivated olive tree, it ceases to produce bitter, wild fruit; it begins to produce the cultivated, holy fruit of the native tree. What kind of fruit does your lifestyle display? A) Cultivated fruit. Your lifestyle, your diet, your rest days, and your moral boundaries align perfectly with the native instructions (Torah) of the tree. B) Wild fruit. You continue to produce the fruit of pagan-rooted holidays, cultural dietary choices, and human church traditions, falsely claiming the branch changes the tree rather than the tree changing the branch. Question 4: The Reality of the Pruning Shears In Romans 11:21, Paul warns: "For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either." What is the standard by which a branch remains connected to the Master’s tree? A) A living, active faith that matches the obedience of Abraham and Yeshua, walking in continuous humility and keeping the Father's commands. B) A simple verbal profession or theological checklist, assuming that once you are "grafted in," you have a license to walk in lawlessness without any fear of being cut off The Mirror's Answer : Look closely at the branches you have evaluated. If the choices consistently land on B, the warning of Romans 11 is flashing red. A wild branch cannot survive by rejecting the root that carries it. True grafting requires a total surrender of our wild ways so we can produce the holy fruit of the commonwealth of Israel. These next verses are some that you may have not heard, you must be grafted into Israel to be saved. If you have been baptized in Yeshua’s name, have repented, received the Holy Spirit, and are living as your Savior lived, you are automatically grafted into Israel; you are a spiritual Jew. (did you know Jesus is a Jew) He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." Matthew 15:24 There are 100 verses about being grafted into Israel. The name "Israel" means "He that strives with God." Not striving with God in the sense of opposing God but rather in the sense of serving and assisting God. It was through Israel's twelve sons that the promise given to him, his father Isaac, and grandfather Abraham, began to take root. The twelve sons of Israel are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulon, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin Deuteronomy 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? Mark 1;15 Then Jesus said to the woman, "I was sent only to help God's lost sheep- -the people of Israel." Galatian 3:27 God says 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.… One in Christ 2: 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,d but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. 1Pet 2:10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles (Christians) in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Yeshua you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.… You are a Citizen of Israel, required to keep all Yehovah instructions and laws. You are a spiritual Jew. Rom 11:23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. Romans 2:28 A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. 29 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men but from God. Romans 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.” … Revelations 21:12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, And twelve angels at the gates. Revelations 21:21 The twelve gates were made of pearls: each from a single pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as if it were transparent glass. As you just read, there are only 12 gates to the great city. The gate names are all Hebrew, the 12 sons of Israel. You must be grafted into Israel to enter. Luke 4:43 But he replied, "I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent." Peter 2:9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. ● Deuteronomy 14:2 You have been set apart as holy to the Yehovah your Elohim, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure. ● Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: Come out of her, my people so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues. We must conform our minds to that of Christ Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is– his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Colossians 3:1-3 Since you were raised from the dead with Christ, aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Think only about the things in heaven, not the things on earth. Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God . (Yehovah looks at two people groups His chosen people He calls Israel and everyone else He calls Gentiles the nations) Do not live for what people live for. 1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father but is from the world. We were made new through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Galatians 2:20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So, I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Imitate Christ Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. The world will hate you. ● John 15:18-19 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 1 Peter 4:4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So, they slander you. Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Yehovah All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”… Twelve Tribes of Israel These next verses are some that you may have not heard, you must be grafted into Israel to be saved.

"Do you want to believe what the Bible says or what you have been taught it says? I can prove it The Final Verdict "The cross was never meant to be a place where the Law died; it was the place where the Penalty was paid so that you could finally be empowered to obey. If you come to the cross but flee from the Commandments, you haven't been saved —you've just been comforted in your rebellion."You’re like a convict handed a full pardon who chooses to stay locked up just for the free meals." Stop turning back. The same Yeshua who bled for you is the same God who wrote the Commandments with His own finger. "You cannot have the King without His Commandments. Choose the whole Truth, or you have nothing at all." Betrayal of God Names matters 12 tribes of Israel The "Shock and Awe" Indictment: Pillars of Deception The Messiah is the only person in history who never sinned "He demonstrated how to love God and neighbor by perfectly fulfilling the Torah (Instructions) observing the Sabbath, eating clean, and honoring the Appointed Days. He commanded us to follow in His footsteps. Therefore, those who claim to be His followers while living in direct opposition to His way are betraying Him; they pose as friends while actively working against the very commandments He established." The Scriptural Definition of Sin (The Lawless Ledger) Modern religion has rewritten the definition of sin to match human comfort, cultural trends, and denominational tradition. You think sin is an abstract, emotional concept—just 'doing your best but missing the mark' of a vague moral feeling. But the Creator does not judge by human opinion or majority belief. He judges by a fixed, immutable legal standard. The Confrontation: "You want to determine what is or is not acceptable based on what your culture tolerates, what your church tradition excuses, or what feels right to your own conscience. But your opinion is entirely irrelevant in the courtroom of the Almighty. If you want to know what sin actually is, you must pull back human philosophy and look directly at the literal text. Read 1 John 3:4 and Proverbs 28:9." The Verses: * The Definition: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4) The Hearing: "One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination." (Proverbs 28:9) The Shock: "If God commands it, obedience is righteousness; if God forbids it, disobedience is sin. The standard is not what people think, but what God has spoken. When you audit your life against the literal text, the checklist of lawlessness is devastatingly clear:" The Mandate for Self-Examination You have to execute a brutal, honest audit of your own soul right now, in the quiet of your own prayer life. The Almighty does not want you guessing about your legal standing before the throne. The Confrontation: "Most people spend their entire lives assuming they are completely safe because they checked a religious box, said a prayer years ago, or sit quietly in a church pew. But the Scripture does not tell you to trust your feelings or your traditions. It issues a direct, commanding order to cross-examine your own lifestyle against the raw truth of the Word. Read 2 Corinthians 13:5." The Verse: "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!" The Shock : "Is your faith a living, breathing part of who you are, or are you just going through the religious motions? This test asks a critical question: Are you operating in the flesh or the Spirit? The ultimate tragedy is to wait until Judgment Day to find out you failed the exam . If you choose to ignore His house rules today, you are setting yourself up to stand before Him only to hear the most devastating, final legal verdict ever spoken: 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness' (Matthew 7:23). The Greek word there is anomia—meaning the active violation or rejection of His Torah. He doesn't say He forgot you; He says He never knew you because you treated His Commandments as optional. Examine your calendar, your walk, and your obedience right now while there is still time to repent, turn back (Teshuvah), and walk in His Truth." The Verdict of Blocked Prayers The Bible teaches that there are times when God refuses to hear a person's prayers because of persistent sin, rebellion, or hypocrisy. Unrepentant Sin "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." (Psalm 66:18) Refusing to Obey God "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination." (Proverbs 28:9) Practicing Sin While Pretending to Worship "When ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood." (Isaiah 1:15) Rejecting God's Calls "Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer." (Proverbs 1:28) Harboring Bitterness or Unforgiveness Yeshua taught that we must forgive others if we expect forgiveness from God (Mark 11:25–26). The Hope Blocked prayers are not necessarily a final verdict. Throughout Scripture, when people genuinely repent and turn back to God, He is merciful and willing to hear them. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven..." (2 Chronicles 7:14) The biblical pattern is clear: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. When a person repents, seeks Him sincerely, and walks in His ways, the barrier between them and God is removed . The Duty of Every Parent The Almighty leaves no ambiguity regarding the primary mission of a parent. It is not to outsource the spiritual training of your children to a youth pastor , a Sunday school, or a secular system. It is a full-time, round-the-clock immersion program. The Confrontation: "Many parents think they are fulfilling their duty by simply taking their kids to church once a week or making sure they are good citizens. But the Creator demands that His instructions become the literal atmosphere of your home. If His Torah is only discussed on a designated morning, you are failing the blueprint. Read Deuteronomy 6:6-9." The Verse: " And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals between your eyes . You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." The Shock: "Look at the four-part daily schedule God lays out: when you sit down, when you walk, when you sleep, and when you wake up. That isn't a church service; that is a lifestyle. By failing to write His Commandments on your doorposts and teach them diligently to your sons and daughters, you are raising a generation of spiritual orphans. If you do not actively bind His Truth onto their hands and minds, the world will gladly step in and bind its own lawless system onto them." The Vertical and Horizontal Test The scriptures also apply this uncompromising standard to how we treat others. True alignment with the Almighty requires a structural reality that works both vertically (between you and God) and horizontally (between you and your fellow man). The Confrontation: "You can pretend to be perfectly holy in your vertical relationship with God—raising your hands in prayer and studying the text—but the true test of your faith is horizontal. Scripturally, love and hate are not merely internal emotions; they are actionable behaviors. If you ignore, mistreat, or fail to guard the physical and spiritual life of your brother, the Bible strips away your religious cover. Read 1 John 4:20." The Verse: "If a man say, 'I love God,' and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" The Shock: "Scriptural, hate is an action. It is defined by what you do or fail to do regarding your brother's spiritual and physical wellbeing. You cannot claim to walk in the light of the Creator while leaving your brother to stumble in the dark or suffer in need. If you refuse to love the tangible image of God standing right in front of you, your claim to love an unseen God is a complete illusion. You are failing the horizontal test, which means your vertical foundation is already compromised." 1. The "False Messiah" Checkmate Most Christians claim to follow the Messiah but spend their lives ignoring his direct orders. The Confrontation: "You say you follow Christ, but you follow a version of him your pastor invented. In Matthew 7:21–23, the Messiah says he will look people in the face—people who called him 'Lord' and did miracles in his name—and say, 'Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.'" The Shock: "I f you believe the Law is 'done away with,' you are, by definition, practicing lawlessness. You are literally the person being described in that verse. You aren't headed for heaven; you’re headed for the 'Depart from me' line." 2. The "Cross vs. Crime" Reality Force them to look at the cross not as a sentimental symbol, but as a grizzly, literal execution of justice. The Confrontation: "Why did the Messiah have to die? If God could just 'cancel' the Law, he could have forgiven us without the cross. The only reason blood had to be spilled was because the Law is permanent. It demanded a death penalty for your crimes." The Shock: "By saying the Law is gone, you are spitting on the cross. You are saying he died to satisfy a Law that didn't even need to stay in place. Connect Colossians 2:14—he nailed your crimes there, not his Father's commands. The speed limit didn't change; your ticket just got paid." 3. The "Mark of the Beast" Warning (End Times Focus) Since the world is racing toward the end, confront them with the Bible's literal definition of a saint. The Confrontation: "Everyone is terrified of taking the Mark of the Beast, but nobody is looking at the Mark of the Saints. Read Revelation 14:12." The Verse: "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." The Shock: "It’s a two-part requirement. You claim to have the 'faith' part, but you’ve thrown away the 'commandments of God' part. According to the last book of the Bible, if you aren't doing both, you are not a saint . You are an easy target for the enemy because you’ve already been trained to disobey God under the cover of 'Grace.'" 4. The Linguistic Deception: "Jesus" is Not His Name This is the structural truth that proves how deep the church's deception goes. They changed his identity to change his Law. The Confrontation: "You claim to worship him, but you don't even know his real name. The letter 'J' didn't even exist in any language until about 500 years ago. Nobody in Jerusalem ever called him 'Jesus'—there was no such sound in Hebrew, Greek, or Latin." The Verse: Acts 4:12 states, "There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." The Shock: "His actual Hebrew name is Yeshua (יהושע), which means 'YAH is Salvation.' The name itself defines his purpose. The church stripped away his Hebrew name and handed you a Greco-Roman replacement. Why? Because once they disconnected the Messiah from his Hebrew identity, it became incredibly easy to disconnect you from his Hebrew Law. You are praying to a translation while ignoring the real Lawgiver." 5. The Repentance Trap: Forgiveness Without Turning This shatters their false sense of eternal security. The Confrontation: "You think you are forgiven, but you have never actually repented. You’ve been told that repentance is just an emotional prayer, but the Bible defines it as a legal U-turn." The Verse: 1 John 3:4 states, "Sin is lawlessness [breaking the Law]." Acts 3:19 commands, "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out." The Shock: " Repentance means turning away from sin. If sin is defined as breaking God's Law, then repentance means turning back to the Law. If you are still intentionally ignoring the Law, you haven't turned back from anything. You are still walking in the exact same direction. Your 'grace' is a fraud, your 'faith' is dead (James 2:17), and your unrepented record of debt is still active." 6. The Sabbath Subversion: Worshiping the Sun This exposes the weekly, blatant defiance of the Fourth Commandment—the only commandment God explicitly told His people to "Remember." The Confrontation: "You go to church on Sunday and call it the 'Lord's Day,' believing the Sabbath was either changed to Sunday or nailed to the cross." The Verse: Exodus 20:8–11: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God." Ezekiel 20:20: "And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God." The Shock : "God never authorized a change from the Seventh Day (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) to the First Day. Constantine and the Roman Catholic Church officially moved it to Sunday in 321 AD to align with pagan sun worship. By keeping Sunday, you are honoring Rome's authority, not God's. Yeshua Himself kept the Seventh-day Sabbath (Luke 4:16). If you are willfully breaking the Sabbath every single week, you are carrying the sign of rebellion, not the sign of the Creator." 7. The Dietary Defiance: Eating the Unclean This strikes directly at daily physical behavior, exposing how Christians use church tradition to justify what God explicitly calls an abomination. The Confrontation: " You pray over a plate of pork or shellfish and think your prayer purifies it. You believe Peter’s sheet vision in Acts 10 or Paul's letters gave you permission to eat whatever you want." The Verse: Isaiah 66:15 –17 (An End-Times prophecy of final judgment): "For behold, the LORD will come in fire... those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens... eating pig's flesh and the abomination and mice, shall come to an end together, declares the LORD." The Shock: "God does not change His mind about what defiles the body (Leviticus 11). In Acts 10, Peter explicitly states that the vision was about men, not meat ('God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean'). When the Messiah returns in fire to execute judgment, He is explicitly targeting those who are eating unclean animals. Your pastor's theology will not protect you from the fire of Isaiah 66." 8. The Pagan Calendar: Rejecting God’s Appointed Times This exposes the replacement of God's holy calendar with Roman, sun-worshipping traditions. The Confrontation : "You zealously celebrate Christmas and Easter—days rooted entirely in pagan fertility cults—while completely ignoring the Holy Feast Days that God established forever." The Verse: Leviticus 23:2 states , "The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts." They belong to Him, not just ancient Judah. Daniel 7:25 warns that the enemy power would “think to change times and laws.” The Shock: " The Roman church changed the times and the laws, and modern Christianity happily followed them. You ignore Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Day of Atonement—which the Messiah and the Apostles strictly kept—and replace them with traditions God explicitly commanded His people never to touch (Deuteronomy 12:30–32). You are keeping Rome's appointments while standing up the King of the Universe on His." 9. The Legal Contradiction You claim the blood of Yeshua washed away your sins. But 1 John 233:4 says sin is the breaking of the Law. The Confrontation: "How can you celebrate being saved from your sins while simultaneously bragging that you don't have to keep the Law? If the Law is gone, then sin no longer exists, and you didn't even need a Savior. Read 1 John 3:4." The Verse: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." The Shock: "If you refuse to keep the Commandments, you are saying, 'I want to be forgiven for breaking the rules, but I reserve the right to keep breaking them.' That isn't faith; that is a legal insult to the Judge. You are asking for a pardon while holding the weapon you used to commit the crime." The "Love" Deception Most people say, "I don't need the Commandments; I just love God." The Confrontation: "You claim to love the Creator, but you refuse to listen to how He wants to be loved. The Bible doesn't let you define love your way. Read 1 John 5:3." The Verse: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." The Shock: "If you turn away when confronted by the Commandments, you are proving that you don't actually love God—you love the feeling of being forgiven. You love yourself, not the Creator." The "Narrow Gate" vs. The "Wide Cross" People want a "Wide Cross" that accepts everyone regardless of their rebellion. But Yeshua described a Narrow Gate. The Confrontation: "Modern religion has invented a broad path where you can confess Messiah with your lips but live like the rest of the world. But the real Yeshua didn't offer a frictionless road. Read Matthew 7:13-14." The Verse: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." The Shock: "The Gate is narrow because the Commandments are the boundary. If you turn around when you see the requirements of the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and the Appointed Times, you are choosing the Wide Road. You are essentially saying the price of following the real Yeshua is too high. You would rather have a comfortable lie than a difficult Truth." The "Great Disconnect" (The Hypocrisy of the Covenant) This is the "Great Disconnect" of modern Christianity. People treat the cross like a drive-through window for mercy, but they treat the Commandments like a wall they refuse to climb. The Confrontation: "You want the benefits of a King without honoring His jurisdiction. You claim the protection of the Blood of the Covenant, but you flatly reject the Terms of the Covenant. You cannot sign a legal contract, claim the inheritance, and then tear up the stipulations. Read Hebrews 10:29." The Verse: " Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?" The Shock: "If you are delivering this as a 'Shock and Awe' message, you have to expose the hypocrisy of wanting the Blood of the Covenant while rejecting the Terms of the Covenant. To take His blood for your cleansing while calling His Sabbath or His dietary instructions 'done away with' is to treat His sacrifice as a cheap license for lawlessness. You aren't honoring the Savior; you are treating the ultimate cosmic execution as a get-out-of-jail-free card so you can keep running your own life." . The Cowardice of the Partial Convert "You are willing to walk to the cross because it feels like a gift, but you turn your back the moment you see the Commandments. You want a Savior, but you refuse a Lord." The Confrontation: "You have a selective faith that only accepts the parts of God that give you comfort while fleeing from the parts that demand your submission. You want the security of His sacrifice, but you are too terrified to let Him govern your schedule, your plate, or your lifestyle. Read Luke 6:46." The Verse: "But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?" The Shock: "A partial conversion is nothing more than spiritual cowardice. It is the mindset of a person who wants the crown but despises the crown's authority. True conversion requires a total surrender of your self-will. If you only obey God when it aligns with what you already wanted to do, you aren't serving the King—you are still serving yourself." The Proof of Love In John 14:15, Yeshua directly links love to action, removing all room for emotional sentimentality or lip service. The Confrontation: "You can weep at the altar, raise your hands during the worship songs, and tell anyone who will listen how much you love Jesus. But the Messiah Himself does not measure your love by your goosebumps or your tears. He measures it by your track record of obedience. Read John 14:15." The Verse: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." The Shock: "To claim you love Him while walking in open defiance of His Torah—ignoring His Sabbath, His Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times—is a profound delusion. You are treating the King of Kings like a casual boyfriend whom you can sweet-talk while completely ignoring his boundaries and expectations. True love isn't an emotion you feel; it is a legal, actionable commitment to submit to His authority." Testing Your Profession In 1 John 2:4, the Scripture sets an absolute, uncompromising standard for anyone who claims to belong to the Almighty, emphasizing that lip service without a changed life is a falsehood. The Confrontation: "You tell people you have a personal relationship with the Creator. You check the box on your social media profile, wear the jewelry, and claim to 'know' Him. But the Bible has a brutal, single-sentence test to determine if you are telling the truth or telling a lie. Read 1 John 2:4." The Verse: "He that saith, 'I know him,' and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." The Shock: "This isn't a suggestion; it's a legal verdict from the Word of God. According to the Apostle John, if you boast about knowing the Savior but refuse to guard His Torah—His Sabbath, His Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times—the Bible doesn't call you a 'growing Christian' or a 'believer under grace.' It calls you a liar. If your profession of faith doesn't alter your lifestyle, your calendar, and your obedience, your testimony is nothing but a fraudulent presentation to the world." The Distinction (Stumble vs. Betrayal) You have to know the difference between a servant who trips on the path and a rebel who walks off it. The Confrontation: "Many people excuse their lifelong disregard for God's instructions by saying, 'Nobody's perfect, we all stumble.' But there is a massive legal difference between a soldier who falls in the mud during battle and a deserter who runs to the enemy's camp. Read Proverbs 24:16." The Verse: "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall into calamity." The Shock: "A stumble is a mistake made while trying to stay on the narrow path, followed by immediate repentance (Teshuvah). Betrayal is the intentional decision to walk away from the path because you prefer your own way over His. Bottom Line: Betrayal is knowing the Master’s house rules and choosing to treat them as optional. When you know the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and the Appointed Times are His standard, yet you deliberately choose to treat them as suggestions, you aren't stumbling—you are walking in open revolt." The Reality of False Conversion: Just Getting Wet True salvation demands a total legal surrender: absolute repentance, a dedication to obedience, and the execution of baptism. If you go through these motions without a radical change of mind and direction, you are simply getting wet. The Confrontation: "People treat baptism like a magical ritual that automatically punches their ticket to heaven, regardless of how they live afterward. But water cannot wash away a rebellious heart. You walk out of the water just as lost as you went in, because an unrepented record of debt cannot be canceled. Read Acts 5:32." The Verse: " And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." The Shock: "To legally belong to the Creator, you must receive His Holy Spirit and actively walk in His Truth. But here is the hard line: God will never give His Holy Spirit to those who choose to live in disobedience. If your lifestyle still rejects the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times, you are operating without the Spirit of Christ. You haven't been born again; you just went for a swim while holding onto your sins." The Execution of Spiritual Blindness Without the indwelling of the Spirit, a devastating spiritual sentence is carried out against you. The Confrontation: "You think you can reject the Master's instructions and still have spiritual clarity. But the moment you walk away from His Torah, a legal judgment takes place in your mind. You are stripped of your discernment, leaving you completely vulnerable. Read Isaiah 29:10." The Verse: "For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and He has covered your heads, the seers." The Shock: "Without the indwelling of the Spirit, a devastating spiritual sentence is carried out against you: The Standard of True Alignment True alignment with the Almighty cannot be faked, bartered, or replaced by a pastoral ritual. It requires a two-part structural reality. The Confrontation: "Many believe that a regular church attendance record, a title, or a recommendation from a pastor gives them legal standing before the throne. But the Judge does not accept human credentials or forged paperwork. Read John 4:24." The Verse: "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The Shock: "True alignment requires a two-part structural reality: An Internal Transformation executed strictly by the Holy Spirit. An Unwavering Commitment to worship Him in Spirit and in absolute, uncompromised Truth. Without both, you are standing in a courtroom trying to present a fraudulent contract to the Judge. You cannot bring the 'spirit' of emotional worship while throwing out the 'truth' of His Commandments, nor can you bring cold ritual without the Spirit. If you lack either one, the contract is null and void, and you are legally exposed before the Court." The Resurrection: The "True" Hope In the Hebrew mindset, the reward isn't "going to heaven" as a disembodied soul. The reward is the Resurrection of the Body at the end of the age. The Confrontation: "Modern religion has invented a sentimental, unbiblical fairy tale about floating off to heaven on a cloud the moment you die. This pagan view of a disembodied afterlife completely bypasses the central hope of the scriptures: the physical resurrection from the dead. Read John 3:13 and Acts 2:34." The Verses: * Yeshua’s Fact: "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." (John 3:13) David’s Fact: "For David did not ascend into the heavens..." (Acts 2:34) The Shock: "The Biblical Timeline is clear: when a person dies, they return to the dust—entering a state of sleep in Sheol—where they remain until they are awakened by the Master at the 'Last Trumpet.' By replacing the Resurrection with an instant escape-to-heaven philosophy, you strip the return of Messiah of its ultimate power. You don't go to Him in the sky forever; He comes down here to awaken His saints from the dirt, conquer death, and establish His physical Kingdom on the earth." The "Thief on the Cross" Objection This is the verse most often used by the carnal mind to "prove" that people go to heaven immediately when they die, bypassing the resurrection. The Confrontation: "People point to the thief on the cross as a get-out-of-jail-free card for an instant escape to heaven. They use one sentence to wipe out the entire biblical timeline of the resurrection. But they are completely missing the grammatical and historical reality of the text. Read Luke 23:43." The Verses: * The Thief's Request: "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (Luke 23:42) Yeshua's Response: "And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'" (Luke 23:43) The Shock: " The original Greek text had no punctuation or commas. Where a translator places the comma completely changes the meaning: Interpretation A (Traditional): 'Truly I tell you, today you will be with me...' Interpretation B (Hebrew Context): 'Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.' The absolute proof is that Yeshua Himself did not go to Paradise or heaven that afternoon. He went into the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Three days later, He told Mary Magdalene in John 20:17, 'Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father.' If the Master Himself hadn't gone to heaven yet, the thief wasn't there either. Yeshua was giving a solemn promise on that specific day of crucifixion that the thief would ultimately have a place in the future, physical Kingdom at the resurrection." The "Truth Only" Summary According to the literal text, when a person dies, they "rest" or "sleep" in the grave (Sheol). They remain there, unconscious of the passage of time, until the Resurrection at the return of Yeshua. The Confrontation: " Stop looking for an escape hatch into a disembodied, spiritualized ether. The Almighty created man from the dirt of the ground, and His ultimate plan has always been a physical, earthly inheritance. The focus of the end times is not about us going up to live with Him—it is about Him coming down to live with us. Read Revelation 21:3." The Verse: " And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’" The Shock: "The 'True' destination for the righteous is not a distant heaven, but a restored Earth where the Master sets up His throne. You are not going to spend eternity floating away from the physical creation; you are going to be resurrected into an incorruptible body to rule and reign right here on the ground. To cling to the traditional 'heavenly reward' is to fundamentally misunderstand the destination of the Narrow Road." To address the "true rapture" using the Truth Only approach, we must distinguish between the popular modern "Left Behind" theory and what is actually written in the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. The Confrontation: " Modern church culture has fed you a comforting fairy tale of a secret, silent escape pod designed to snatch you away before things get difficult. You’ve been trained to look for a backdoor out of tribulation instead of preparing your house to endure it. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:17." The Verse: "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall always be with the Lord." The Shock: "The word 'Rapture' does not even appear in your English Bible. It comes from the Latin rapio, translating the Greek harpazo (to snatch or seize). But the modern church has completely twisted the mechanics, the timing, and the purpose of this event to fit a narrative that the ancient prophets and apostles never taught." 1. The Timeline: Pre-Tribulation vs. Post-Tribulation The most common modern teaching suggests that believers disappear before a time of trouble. However, if we look at the literal words of Yeshua, the sequence is completely reversed. The Verse (Matthew 24:29-31): "Immediately after the tribulation of those days... they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds..." The Shock: "In the literal words of the Messiah Himself, the 'gathering'—what you call the Rapture—happens after the tribulation, not before. The modern church is prepping people for an escape that isn't coming, leaving an entire generation completely unequipped to stand firm in the face of the enemy." 2. The "One Taken, One Left" Misconception Many people use Matthew 24:40 ("two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left") to describe a secret vanishing act of the righteous. But in a Hebrew context, being 'taken' is a death sentence. The Verse (Matthew 24:38-39): "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." The Shock: "Go back to the pattern of Noah's day. The ones 'taken' were not the righteous flying away to safety—the ones 'taken' were the wicked who were swept away by the judgment of the flood to their destruction! The ones 'left behind' were Noah and his family, the righteous who remained on the ground to inherit the cleansed earth. You are actively praying for the wrong outcome." 3. The Historical Origin of the Secret Escape If this secret, pre-tribulation flight plan isn't in the literal words of Scripture, where did it come from? The Fact: "This doctrine was virtually unknown for the first 1,800 years of Church history. It was popularized around 1830 AD by John Nelson Darby, who developed a system called 'Dispensationalism.' It became cement in the American mind when it was printed in the study footnotes of the Scofield Reference Bible in 1909. You are risking your spiritual survival on a 19th-century human invention that was cross-referenced into your margins." 4. The Hebrew Concept: The Royal Meeting In the ancient world, when a King or a Bridegroom approached a city, the citizens did not run out to meet him so they could escape with him back to his home. They went out to escort him into their territory. The Verse (Matthew 25:6): "And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’" The Shock: " In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the Greek word for 'meet' is apantesis. In ancient custom, and in every other New Testament usage (like the Parable of the Ten Virgins), apantesis means going out to greet an arriving dignitary and immediately turning around to escort him back to where he was heading. The 'Rapture' is not a flight away to heaven for seven years; it is a glorious, royal welcome in the air to meet the arriving King, Yeshua, as He descends to execute judgment and establish His permanent Kingdom right here on E arth."
