Christ didn't come to bring peace but a sword The Real Jesus Not Peace, but a Sword 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Matthew 10:34-36 Watchman’s Message In the message in Hosea, Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it is our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious, and will hold us accountable if we don't warn them (“son of man" denotes mankind generally) Hebrew people, This passage from Ephesians 4:25 urges believers to reject falsehood, lies, and deceit in favor of speaking the truth to their neighbors. The core reasoning is that Christians are interconnected members of one body—the body of Christ—making lying to one another equivalent to harming oneself. Sheep among Wolves …20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.… Matthew 10:20-22 “I’ve come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I’ve come to change everything, turn everything right side up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I’ve come to disrupt and confront! From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be— Three against two, and two against three; Father against son, and son against father; Mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; Mother-in-law against bride, and bride against mother-in-law.” Luke 12:49 Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE WITH HIS NEIGHBOR , for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ]. New Life in Christ Ephesians 4:25 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another. 26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger, BE ANGRY [at sin--at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], YET DO NOT SIN; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. 27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]. 28 The thief [who has become a believer] must no longer steal, but instead he must work hard [making an honest living], producing that which is good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin]. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence]. 32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding] , forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave [c] you. I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:21-23 Narrow gate 13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction , and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14 Many are called but few are chosen

No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man. Betraying God Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth The church lied to us For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. Roman 2:13 Galatians 2:16 (Jewish laws not the law of God) If you Read Matthew 5 the entire chapter , not only did Christ tell us the law would not end until the earth passes away, but He also reinforced the law by clarifying that angry, lustful thoughts, wrongful divorce, oaths, and not loving our enemies were sinning. Was breaking God's laws Shout the message! Don't hold back. Say to my people Israel: You've sinned! You've turned against the LORD. Isaiah 58:1, 10 commandments 613 commandments 1050 commandments nt Churches Who Teach Us to Keep Sunday Admit It’s NOT the Sabbath of the Bible Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— "So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice." . 16He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.… Meaning: This passage describes a society where truth and honesty are so absent that they are practically non-existent, to the point where someone who tries to live righteously is vulnerable and becomes a target. It portrays a severe moral decline where justice is not pursued and evil is widely accepted. Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth You can be sure the False Prophet and the Man of Lawlessness will certainly come from the only religion that has promoted and pushed Lawlessness (not obeying God’s Laws) since the beginning. Keeping in mind that Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth since it actually forbids observing God’s Law, is over 30% of the world, so we got our first indication of what kind of percentage we might be looking at taking the mark. If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH” Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19).If "least" literally meant a low-ranking person inside the Kingdom, Yeshua would be saying that a carnal, commandment-breaking believer is somehow spiritually superior to John the Baptist. That makes no sense. But if "least" means the person who hasn't even entered yet (the mortal believer still waiting on the outside), the phrase makes perfect sense. It Replaces Divine Truth with Human Tradition: Bypassing God's Feasts, dietary laws, and Sabbath always leads to a common substitution—making the Word of God "of none effect" through human traditions (Mark 7:13). It Separates Faith from True Loyalty: Scripture states, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 John 5:3). Teaching against obedience strips believers of the concrete actions required to show true covenant loyalty. The Bottom Line: Telling people they are free to ignore the Father's instructions mimics the very first deception in the Garden: "Yea, hath God said...?" It doesn't just misinterpret Scripture; it actively trains people to live in comfortable transgression. Yeshua the Messiah Modern Christianity He kept the Leviticus food laws. Eat unclean He kept the seventh day Sabbath Holy Observe Sunday Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath. Only for the Jews He kept all of God’s feast days. Observe Christmas, Easter He kept all God’s commandments and statutes. Done away with He was totally submersed during baptism. Without repentance Gospel message coming to Kingdom Death burial and resurrection Sin is the transgression of the law Ten suggestions He wore tassels on the hems of his clothing. These statistics, highlighted in Barna research, indicate a shift toward moral relativism and syncretism among American Christians, prioritizing subjective experience over traditional doctrine. Key findings show that 72% argue that people are basically good. 71% consider feelings, experience, or the input of friends and family as their most trusted sources of moral guidance. 66% say that having faith matters more than which faith you pursue. 64% say that all religious faiths are of equal value. 58% believe that if a person is good enough, or does enough good things, they can earn their way into Heaven. 58% contend that the Holy Spirit is not a real, living being but is merely a symbol of God’s power, presence, or purity. 57% believe in karma. 52% claim that determining moral truth is up to each individual; there are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone, all the time Self-identified Christians are also likely to reject a number of biblical teachings and principles. For example, slightly less than half. (46%) believe that the marriage of one man to one woman is God’s plan for humanity, across all cultures; j ust 40% believe that when they die they will go to Heaven, but only because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior; only one-third. 34% believes that people are born into sin and can only be saved of the consequences by Jesus Christ; just one-third. 32% believes premarital sex is morally unacceptable; and about one out of every four. 28% believes that the best indicator of a successful life is consistent obedience to God. Teachings that are not found in your bible and are taught as truth. One compromise here, another there, and soon the so-called Christian and man in the world look alike a.w Tozer When Christians die, they go to heaven. They are in a better place. The Old Testament is for the Jews and the New Testament is for everyone else. No one can keep the commandments. You can live like the devil and still go to Heaven. God’s holy Sabbath's day of rest is done away with. The Sabbath was changed to Sunday because the Apostles met on the first day of the week. The Leviticus food laws, that God said don't eat or touch unclean meat, are only for the Jews. There is a secret rapture for Christians only, excluding them from the tribulation. The law of God was nailed to the cross. Carnal Christians are not under the law, but they are under Grace. Yeshua did it so we don't have to. Once saved always saved. Just ask Yeshua into your heart for salvation. The only requirement for Believing is acknowledging God’s existence. Baptism is just a symbolic meaning and is not required for salvation. The Gospel is the death burial and resurrection. Following God's instructions is legalistic. You are a Jew if you keep the food laws, the Sabbath, God's feast days, and all God's commandments like Yeshua did. It just matters what you feel in your heart, even if it is pagan. Yeshua's birth happened on December 25, and there were shepherds and sheep in the fields and Mary and Joseph were required to travel in the winter. The church can Christianize pagan holidays, like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Paul's misunderstood letters nullify God’s word and His instructions. A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3 There are consequences— eternal consequences—to our actions. What we do is evidence of what we believe. Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit. Galatians 6: Why would any Christian not believe or want to keep the 10 Commandments? or say I dont have to keep the commandments? Warning, look at what the verse doesn't say when you read them (The 10 commandments) Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #1 Romans 10 and verse 4 say Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. Does this verse really mean that Christians have no moral obligation to the law of God? (Romans 7:12 God's Law is Holy So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.) Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 James 1:17 Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #2 Colossians 2 in verse 14 says, Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Were the 10 commandments really against us? Were the 10 commandments really contrary to us? Did Jesus really nail the 10 commandments to His cross? (Psalms 40:8 KJV) I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.) (Romans 8:7 KJV) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #3 In Ephesians 2:14-15 the Bible says, For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. Was the middle wall of partition the 10 commandments? Did Jesus abolish the 10 commandments? (Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Colossians 2:21 KJV) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (Colossians 2:22 KJV) All are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? The Jews created a partition between the Jews and Gentiles causing issues in the temple. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #4 The book of Galatians says the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Exactly what law was a schoolmaster to bring us to faith in Christ? Was it the 10 commandments like so many Christians suppose? The Schoolmaster was the aminal sacrifice that showed all sin requires a blood sacrifice and led to the cross Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #5 Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” The thing Jesus said don’t think is the very thing that many Christians are thinking and that is that Jesus abolished the law. Just what did Jesus mean when He said, I came to fulfill the law? Does this mean there is no moral obligation to the 10 commandments? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #6 The law has been abolished and nailed to the cross. What do you do when your church is teaching heresy? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #7 We’re not under the Old Covenant we’re under the New Covenant. Does the New Covenant dismiss our need to obey the laws of God? Anchor 1 Who decides what is right and wrong? What is the difference between clean and unclean? What does Santa Claus and the Easter bunny have to do with the truth? What day was commanded for everyone to rest? What does God call people who practice sinning? What name is left out of the new covenant ? What are the only two names in the new covenant ? Why did Christ say He only came for the lost tribes of Israel?

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him .Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment. Unanswerable questions Perhaps you may also want to present some or all of these questions to your favorite pastor or teacher. This is what your church teaches. The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him. Proverbs 18:17 Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. Psalm 146:3 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27 God is not a God of confusion but of peace.1 Corinthians 14:33 If the law of God has been made better, and the law of God is perfect (Psalm 19:7), is that saying that what is already defined as perfect can be made better? If we have been freed from the Law of God, and the Law of God is freedom (Psalm 119:44-45), is that saying that we can be freed from freedom? Can Truth be made not Truth? (Psalm 119:143;160) Page 2 of 4 Can the way of righteousness no longer be the way of righteousness? (Deuteronomy 4:8, Proverbs 2:20; Isaiah 51:7, 2 Peter 2:21; 2 Timothy 3:16) Can the Ways of God change in a different way? (Exodus 18:20; Deuteronomy 10:12; Josh 22:51; 1 King 2:3; Psalm 119:1; Proverbs 6:23; Is 2:3; Malachi 2:8; Mark 12:14; Acts 24:14) 6) If the Law of God is forever, and the law of God ended, is that saying that forever can end? Does that mean eternal life can end as well? (Leviticus 16:31; 1 Chronicles 16:15; Psalm 119:160; Isaiah 40:8) 7) Can what defines sin be nullified? Can sin be sin one day and not sin another day? Does the definition of sin change? (Numbers 15:22-31; Daniel 9:11; 1 John 3:4) 9) Can what is life no longer be life? (Job 33:30; Ps 36:9; Proverbs 6:23; Revelation 22:14) 10) If God is the Word, and God cannot change, then how can we suggest that the Word of God changed? (John 1:1; Malachi 3:6) If we are to delight in the Law of God, are we to no longer delight in it? (Psalm 1:2; 112:1; 119:16; 119:35; 119:47; 119:70; 119:77; 119:92; 119:174; Isaiah 58:13; Romans 7:22) (page 29) If when the Law was written down, we were told to walk in it (Deuteronomy 10:11-13), fully knowing that Christ walked that same law, and John said we are to walk exactly like He walked (1 John 2:5-6), while Paul said we are to follow Christ’s example (1 Corinthians 11:1), then would we not follow the same commandments that Christ walked? If Christ is the Word made flesh, and Christ is the Word of God (John 1:14; Revelation 19:13), and supposedly some of the Word of God is abolished, did He get on the cross to abolish parts of Himself? If the Law of God is all about loving God and loving others, is how to love God and love others subject to change? (Exodus 20:6; Deuteronomy 5:10; Deuteronomy 7:10; 11:13; 11:22; 30:16; 6:5; Leviticus 19:18; Nehemiah 1:5; Daniel 9:4; Matthew 22:35-37; 10:39; 16:25; Jo 14:15; 14:21; Romans 13:9; 1 John 5:2-3; 2 John 1:6) If the law of God has always intended to bless us and be good for us, then why would He take it away from us after the cross? (Deuteronomy 11:26-27; Psalm 112:1; 119:1-2; Psalm 128:1; Proverbs 8:32; Isaiah 56:2; Matthew 5:6; 5:10; Luke 11:28; James 1:25; 1 Peter 3:14; Revelation 22:14; Psalm 119) If the whole purpose of man is to keep the Lord’s commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13), then is this no longer true? Matthew 5:17-19 clearly teaches that no commandments are to pass away at least until Heaven and Earth pass and all of the Law and Prophets are fulfilled. In addition, believers that teach others that commandments have been passed away will be least in the kingdom of Heaven, but those who strive to keep all of God's law and teach others to do the same will be great in the Kingdom. Therefore, how can we be comfortable with teaching anything less than what Moses wrote and what Christ practiced and taught? When Christ commanded us to observe and do everything out of Moses' seat (Matthew 23:13), which is and has always been what Moses wrote, then why would we not want to do it, especially since he commands us to teach all nations everything he commanded, which of course would include everything taught from the seat of Moses. When Paul stated several times that he believes, practices, and teaches God's law (as written by Moses - Acts 21:20-26; 24:13-14; 25:8) and also that there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek in Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Galatians 3:27-29; Colossians 3:10-12), how can we be comfortable using Paul's letters to teach that we are not to observe all of God's law? How can Paul be teaching God's law (as written by Moses) and teaching against God's law at the same time? What do we do with the fact that obeying what Moses wrote also means teaching Gentiles, aliens, and foreigners to Israel, to practice the same law of God in the faith? (Exodus 12:19; 12:38; 12:49; Leviticus 19:34; 24:22; Numbers 9:14; 15:15-16; 15:29). Also, Isaiah 42:6; 60:3; Matthew 5:14; Ephesians 2:10- 13; Acts 13:47; Rom 11:16-27; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 37; 1 John 2:10; 1 John 1:7) Meaning that there has never been any difference between Jews and Gentiles in the faith. Wouldn't all those times Paul was accused of not practicing and teaching the Law of Moses actually be true accusations instead of false accusations like Paul asserted and demonstrated? Why are there still accusations against Paul that He taught against the Law of God as written by Moses? Why is he still having to defend himself against such absurd claims even when the book of Acts testifies against it? When it appears that Paul is talking about the law, he is either talking about the oral law of the Jews or he is talking about the curse of the law that the Messiah nailed to the cross. When Scripture states in the NT that we are to keep God's commandments in our love back to Him (1 John 5:2-3) as a response to His grace or love for us (1 John 4:19), how can we conclude that we are to keep only some of God's commandments? Are commandments in Leviticus 23 or Leviticus 11 God’s commandments or not? In Isaiah 66:15-17, we see that in the context of the Lord’s return, that when He returns, He is clearly upset that people are eating pork. If He cares then, why would we assume that He does not care now? In Zechariah 14, when the Lord comes back to reign, we clearly see that everyone is expected to celebrate Tabernacles as written by Moses. Why would we be expected to celebrate Tabernacles before the cross, but not after the cross, but then celebrate it again when the Lord returns? If Christ is the Word made Flesh (Revelation 19:13), and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), then how is the Word of God, not the same yesterday today and forever as Isaiah 40:8 says? And lastly, with the exception of the misunderstandings of Acts 10 and Acts 15, nearly all supposed support for the belief that the law of God changed stems from the reading of select snippets from Paul’s letters. Why do we mainly use Paul to support abolishing the Law of God when Peter clearly says that Paul’s letters are often used to make the error of lawlessness because Paul is hard to understand and many reading him are not knowledgeable enough about the Word of God but instead are ignorant and unstable (2 Peter 3:15-17). Paul is the very person that Peter warns us not to use to teach against the law of God. Why would anyone use him? These are just some of the top questions we have for anyone who believes that the Law of God has changed. There are many more that can be presented, but hopefully, that gets you thinking. 119 ministries

God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands God will reveal Himself to us. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21 ). God will dwell with us. “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23 ). We will abide in God’s love and our joy will be full. “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full” (John 15:10–11 ). We will know that we know and love God. “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. . . . Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him” (I John 2:3 , 5 ). “If ye love me, keep my commandments ” (John 14:15 ). We will show love to God’s children. “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments” (I John 5:2 ). We will be friends of Christ. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:14 ). Our prayers will be answered. “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (I John 3:22 ). We will be disciples. “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another ” (John 13:34–35 ). Remember: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure ” (Philippians 2:13 ). Living a life of obedience to God is not found by striving or trying harder, but rather by abiding in Christ. God is the One that works in you to will and to do His good pleasure. In I Thessalonians Chapter 5, after a list of important commands such as “Pray without ceasing,” “In every thing give thanks,” and “Quench not the Spirit,” we find this verse: “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it” (verse 24). Praise God that He does not just give us these commands, but He also does them in and through us! The only way we are faithful is be The Hand: Representing action.

Such obedience is well pleasing unto the Lord, fostering an environment where the commands of the Lord are honored and the family unit thrives Acts 5:29 “Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” Reflection: When faced with conflicting authorities, our ultimate allegiance is to God’s commandments. The apostles, as witnesses of these things, modeled courageous faith and unwavering obedience. Their words remind us that true obedience sometimes requires standing against worldly systems for the sake of His name. 1 John 2:3 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.” Reflection: The gift of God—eternal life—was made possible through this ultimate act of obedience. This verse highlights that the Christian life is rooted in action, not merely belief.

As servants of the Lord, let us obey the Father’s commandment even to the point of death, just as Christ did. Through the Greek word, Hebrew word, or even the English Standard Version, the message remains: Obedience is a good thing. .

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.The purpose of life? And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true Yehovah, and Yeshua messiah, the one you sent to earth. Have reverence for God, and obey His commands, because this is all that we were create Child of God or a child of the Devil EVERY SINGLE WORD in the Bible deserves our highest regard and careful obedience. Scripture isn't a collection of suggestions or optional wisdom —it's God-breathed, profitable for teaching, correcting, and guiding us in righteousness (as 2 Timothy 3:16 puts it). We should hold each word in reverence and commit to following it fully, letting it shape how we live, speak, and love others. Do you love God? What does God’s word actually say about this —plainly, without my spin?” It’s easier to justify than to submit. It’s more comfortable to reinterpret than to repent. (James 1:23–25). Scripture splits humanity into two distinct categories based on their relationship to God and His commandments. If God calls His covenant-keeping people saints (those set apart), He refers to the others as: 1. The Lawless (or Wicked) In the New Testament, Yeshua and the Apostles frequently contrast the saints with those who live without regard for God's instructions. The Greek term: Anomia (literally "without law" or "violating the law"). The Warning: I n Matthew 7:23, Yeshua warns those who claim to know Him but ignore the commandments: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" 2. The Unjust (or Unrighteous) The Bible repeatedly contrasts the two groups when discussing judgment. The Contrast: In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul asks why a believer would take a matter before the unjust rather than before the saints. The Destiny : 2 Peter 2:9 states that God knows how to deliver the godly, but keeps the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment. 3. The Children of Disobedience (or Children of the Devil) When addressing who rules a person's life and actions, Scripture uses family terms. The Actions : Ephesians 2:2 speaks of the spirit that works in the children of disobedience. The Definition: 1 John 3:10 draws the line clearly: "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." The Definitive Verse: Revelation 14:12 identifies the first group perfectly: "Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." By biblical definition, anyone outside of that description falls into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. This diagnostic test uses the final book of scripture to draw a line in the sand. It forces you to look at the two distinct categories of humanity established by the Creator, using Revelation 14:12 as the ultimate boundary marker. 📋 The "Saints vs. The Lawless" Definitive Boundary Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions to determine which biblical category your daily life, your habits, and your theology place you in. Question 1: The Mark of a Saint In Revelation 14:12, the scripture gives a precise, two-part definition of a saint: "Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." Based on this verse, how do you define your identity? A) A Saint (Set-Apart). You recognize that true faith in the Messiah is inseparable from a physical walk of keeping the Father's Torah. Your life displays both parts: total trust in Yeshua and meticulous care for His instructions. B) A Cultural Believer. You claim to have "faith in Jesus," but you believe His commandments are obsolete or optional, cutting the verse in half and choosing a path that scripture defines as incomplete. Question 2: The Practice of Anomia (Lawlessness) In Matthew 7:23, the Master issues a terrifying warning to people who fully believed they were in the Kingdom: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (anomia—living without regard for God's law)." When you examine your lifestyle, do you treat the Torah as active law? A) You Reject Lawlessness. You actively study the Torah to identify sin so you can completely purge it from your actions, treating His rest days, dietary boundaries, and moral laws as non-negotiable. B) You Practice Anomia. You live your life based on church traditions, personal feelings, or cultural convenience, considering yourself exempt from the physical laws of God under the guise of "grace." Question 3: The Fruit of Righteousness vs. Disobedience According to 1 John 3:10, the line between the children of God and the children of the devil is stark: "Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." When the Father looks at your daily practice, what family lineage does it reveal? A) A Child of God. Your regular, daily practice is righteousness. You actively obey the Father's voice, making your spiritual DNA obvious through visible, physical fruits of obedience. B) A Child of Disobedience. Your daily practice matches the world's standard. You follow the crowd, ignore the biblical calendar, eat what the world eats, and shrug off the lifestyle of Yeshua, aligning with the spirit described in Ephesians 2:2. Question 4: The Courtroom of the Unjust In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul rebukes believers for seeking judgment and direction from the "unjust" (unrighteous) rather than from the saints. When you seek wisdom, direction, or validation for how you live, where do you go? A) The Royal Law. You turn strictly to the unchanging Word of God and the example of Yeshua, using the standard of the saints to settle how you walk. B) The Standard of the World. You look to the theological systems of the modern world, human consensus, or comfortable sermons that tell you exactly what your itching ears want to hear, relying on an unjust standard. The Definitive Verdict: Review where your checked boxes land. Scripture leaves zero room for a third option, a middle ground, or a gray area. If your choices consistently land on B, the mirror exposes a vital reality: By biblical definition, anyone who does not keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua falls directly into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. True faith is not a mental concept or a verbal claim—it is a physical lifestyle. If you want to be counted among the saints who endure with patience, you must abandon the broad road of anomia today and begin walking exactly as Yeshua walked. , Children of God 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness . 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning ; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. (Acts 5:32) And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Heirs with Christ …13 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. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”… Romans 8:14 Dead to Sin, Alive to God …13 Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. 14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!…Romans 6:14 Living by the Spirit …17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;… Galatians 5:18 Isaiah 61:1 The purpose of life? And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Yeshua messiah, the one you sent to earth. John 17:3 After all this, there is only one thing to say: Have reverence for God, and obey His commands, because this is all that we were created for this is everyone’s duty. Ecclesiastes 12:13 What is a sinner? Everyone who sins breaks God's law because sin is the same as breaking God's law. 1 John 3:4 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, 1 John 3:8 God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. Proverbs 28:9 All liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelations 21:8 You must be justified. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 2:13 You must repent I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.” Luke 5:32 You must be righteous Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this. When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous . 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, 1 John 3:7 I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent. “Luke 5:32 The duty of every parent? These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. 7“You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. 8“You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. 9“You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Everyone must be born again 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. 10By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother. 1John3:9 What is going to happen to you when you die? Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by God, Hebrews 9:27 Faith is Scripturally defined as: Faith is: believing that everything God said is true, committing to follow what it says, and then doing what the Word says. In other words, believing/trusting, committing to obey or do, and then the action of obeying/doing it. Another way we say it is that faith is believing, committing, and trusting in God and His Word. All of mankind is “under the law” (The law of sin and death) until they come into covenant through faith in the Messiah and receive salvation by grace through that faith. God’s Children through Faith 23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak until the way of faith was revealed. 24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. 26For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes’ 28There is no longer Jew or Gentile slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. The way for us to be saved is to believe that we have sinned and deserve death because the Word says so. John 3:3 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of Yehovah." Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to Yehovah and be baptized in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Proverbs 28:9 He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Ecclesiastes 12:13 That's the whole story. Here now is my conclusion: Fear Yehovah and obey His commands, for this is everyone's duty. Galatians 3:28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Yeshua. James 1:22 But don't just listen to Yehovah’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. “Then Yehovah said to me, shout the message! Don't hold back. Say to my people Israel: You've sinned! You've turned against Yehovah your Elohim. Isaiah 58:1 "When you tell them all this, do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings but do not expect them to respond. Say to them, ‘This is the nation whose people will not obey the Lord their God and who refuse to be taught. (Jeremiah 7:27) (This is a Child of the Devil) For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. “John 4:24 Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1-2 Children of God 8 Galatians 5 :16 I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[ c ] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

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)

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 .

Because Scripture says that His commandments are not burdensome 1John 5:3 The Walk of Yeshua Test: Walk Imitation Metric “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” — 1 John 2:6 Many modern doctrines invite us to accept $Yeshua$ as Savior but encourage us to ignore His actual life. They teach that the physical way He walked—Sabbath keeping, scriptural clean eating, celebrating biblical feast days, and honoring the Father's Law—is obsolete. This simple 6-question diagnostic directly compares your daily walk with the footsteps of $Yeshua$. Part 1: The 6 Footstep Questions Review these six aspects of the Messiah's physical life on earth. Ask yourself honestly: Do you walk as He walked, or do you walk differently? Footstep 1: The Sabbath Custom The Footstep: $Yeshua$’s weekly custom was to rest and honor the Father’s Seventh-day Sabbath ($Shabbat$, Saturday). Do you follow this same rhythm, or do you observe Sunday / believe the Sabbath is irrelevant? Option A : I Walk As He Walked (Yes, keeping the seventh-day Sabbath) Option B: I Walk Differently (I keep Sunday, any day, or no day) Footstep 2: The Table of Yeshua The Footstep: $Yeshua$ maintained biblical clean eating as laid out in Leviticus 11, abstaining from unclean items like pork or shellfish. Do you follow His dietary separation, or do you eat unclean foods? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (I only eat biblically clean foods) Option B: I Walk Differently (I eat pork, shellfish, or other unclean foods) Footstep 3: The Holy Feasts The Footstep: $Yeshua$ traveled to celebrate the Father's Appointed Times ($Moedim$ like Passover, Tabernacles, Weeks). Do you celebrate these biblically established prophetic times, or do you substitute them with pagan-originated holidays? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (I celebrate the Father's Appointed Feasts) Option B: I Walk Differently (I celebrate Christmas, Easter, or no biblical feasts) Footstep 4: The Physical Remembrance The Footstep: $Yeshua$ wore tassels ($tzitzit$) on the corners of His garments as commanded in Numbers 15 (which a bleeding woman touched in Matthew 9:20). Do you wear physical reminders of God's law as He did? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (Yes, I utilize physical reminders of the Law) Option B: I Walk Differently (I do not use physical reminders of the Law) Footstep 5: The Authority of the Torah The Footstep: $Yeshua$ declared He did not come to destroy the Law ($Torah$), but to fulfill it (fully preach, reveal, and live it). Do you believe the $Torah$ is still the binding standard of righteousness for your walk today? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (Yes, the Torah remains the eternal standard) Option B: I Walk Differently (I believe the Law has been abolished or is obsolete) Footstep 6: Traditions vs. The Word The Footstep : $Yeshua$ exposed and rejected human religious traditions that invalidated God's literal words. Do you reject church dogmas that bypass written scriptural commands, or do you prioritize denominational habits? Option A : I Walk As He Walked (I reject human traditions that contradict Scripture) Option B : I Walk Differently (I prioritize denominational traditions or church customs) Part 2: The Diagnostic Verdicts Count your responses to determine your level of alignment with the Walk of the Messiah. 🏆 80% to 100% Aligned (5 to 6 "Walk As He Walked" Answers) Verdict: Restoring the Ancient Paths Praise the Father! Your walk reflects a profound commitment to walk as $Yeshua$ walked. By aligning your time, your table, and your actions with His instructions, your spiritual mirror is facing the Creator, restoring your scriptural sight and hearing. ⚖️ 40% to 79% Aligned (3 to 4 "Walk As He Walked" Answers) Verdict: A Divided Reflection You are beginning to see the value in $Yeshua$’s Hebrew walk, but traditional dogmas are still holding parts of your mirror captive. You may agree with parts of the $Torah$, but you are still letting church conditioning dictate how you worship. 🚨 Under 40% Aligned (0 to 2 "Walk As He Walked" Answers) Verdict: A Traditional Detour While you may sincerely love $Yeshua$, your physical daily walk is almost completely different from His. You are honoring a traditional church template that has replaced the $Torah$ with human dogmas— leaving you with eyes that cannot see the value of His commandments. Part 3: Scriptural Walk Proofs Here are the literal scriptural blueprints verifying exactly how the Messiah lived and walked: The Sabbath Pattern: Scripture: Luke 4:16 / Exodus 20:8 The Truth: $Yeshua$’s weekly custom was the seventh-day Sabbath. If we claim to live in Him, our resting pattern should reflect His weekly standard, not a replacement day authorized by Constantine. The Table Boundaries: Scripture: Leviticus 11:1-47 / Matthew 5:17 The Truth: $Yeshua$ never ate unclean animals. He kept the Father's separation laws. Bypassing dietary restrictions copies the surrounding culture rather than His set-apart image. The Prophetic Calendar: Scripture: Luke 22:15 / Leviticus 23 The Truth: $Yeshua$ kept God's feasts, which act as a prophetic calendar pointing to His redemption. Reversing this walk to celebrate syncretistic holidays tilts your mirror away from Him. The Fringes of Obedience: Scripture: Matthew 9:20 / Numbers 15:38-39 The Truth: $Yeshua$ wore physical tassels ($tzitzit$) as tools to guard His eyes from slipping into worldly idolatry. Honoring this physical instruction keeps us aligned with His exact posture. The Eternal Law: Scripture: Matthew 5:17-19 / 1 John 5:3 The Truth: $Yeshua$ stated that anyone who teaches that the least of God's commandments is done away with will be called least in the Kingdom. He established the $Torah$ as eternal, loving instruction. Dismantling Traditions: Scripture: Mark 7:8-9 / Colossians 2:8 The Truth: $Yeshua$ vehemently opposed letting "the traditions of men" override the written commandments of the Father. If we walk as He did, we must throw out any church rule that contradicts Scripture. 1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps. James 2:17 We cannot claim we have faith in the truth of the Word of God and live our lives against it in practic e.: 1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps. ● John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Yeshua answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father. Matthew 22:13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” John 3:36 And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment. 1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth What we do is the evidence of what we believe internally. Our actions define for others our inward beliefs. 1 John 2:.3 Now by this we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked ● John 14:23 Yeshua replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” ● John 14:24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Fathers who sent me John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Matthew 16:24 Then said Yeshua unto his disciples, if any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Hebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. ● John 3:3 Yeshua answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again; he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In the next verse, Yehovah is telling us that sinning is to not keep His commandments . By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: So according to scripture; whose child, are you? 1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues (practice) to sin has seen Him or known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 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 doesn't love his brother. Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’…23 Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. The popular Christian teaching about "righteousness by faith" is that God's righteousness is "imputed" in those who "believe" in "Yeshua." In other words, in their view the righteousness which the believer has is a "theoretical" righteousness - you don't actually have to be living in a righteous way to be seen by God as "righteous". They say, "When God looks at you, he sees the righteousness of Christ because you are in Christ" John makes it very clear about those who are considered righteous in the Almighty's sight, by making this simple-to-understand statement: John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” The Sword of the Gospel, Not Peace, But Division Luke 12:51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” James 1:2 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. Definition of transgress; To violate a command or law: SIN: to go beyond a boundary or limit. To go beyond limits set or prescribed by: VIOLATE transgress divine law. So, this is your question, do you practice sin? Do you keep Yehovah’s laws? So then, by their fruit, you will recognize them? 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yeshua is righteous. It doesn't get any easier to understand than that. There is no question in what The Son of the living God said or did. Yehovah’s words and His Son’s actions need no human to interpret them.

Every time you look up and see the blue sky you are to remember to do the commandments and follow all Yehovah's instructions, as found in His Torah. For this is everyone’s purpose for our lives, your duty. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Colors Every time you look up and see the blue sky you are to remember to do the commandments and follow all Yehovah's instructions, as found in His Torah. For this is everyone’s purpose for our lives, your duty. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Every time you look up and see white clouds y ou are to remember to be holy just as He is Holy, you are to refuse to practice sinning and if you do this, it is a sign you are born again and have received Yehovah’s spirit and you will not sin. This is what pleases God.1 Peter 1:16 Every time you look up and see a sunrise or a sunset , you are to remember Proverbs 15:3, “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” We die only once, and then we are judged. Hebrews 9:27 God said ``These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home when you are on the road, when you are going to bed, and when you are getting up. 8Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6-9 And this is how all Israel will be saved. As the scripture says, "The Savior will come from Zion and remove all wickedness from the descendants of Jacob. Romans 11:26 Anchor 1 Colors

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

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.

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 7:23” 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.
