I have been reading Matthew recently, so I watched his dissertation on Matthew this morning. Pretty interesting take.
Is there an anormous black hole that we could shove internet trolls like Anormous into? My mom’s name was Ruth.
Your religion does not understand what it means that He (YHWH) does not change – THERE ARE NO TURNING OF SHADOWS in Him (YHWH). Just as throughout the Torah you see some form of the phrase ‘…as YHWH commanded Moses…’, and with Yahshua being The Prophet Likened Unto Moses, He too tells us, directly, that His (Yahshua) Doctrine is NOT His Own, but His (YHWH) Who sent Him (John 7:16). Yahshua commands us to hear and obey Moses, but keep from the talmudic (oral/rabbinic ) traditions (Matt 23:1-5+). That is about as simple a ‘math equation’ as you can find. Instead of FIFO, FILO, etc… It is EIEO – Eternal In Eternal Out.
If you believe and therefore trust that His Eternal Way of Truth in Life has been done away, paused, put to the side or diminished by the least ‘jot or tittle’, then Why would He write His Torah on your heart at the REnewING of THE Covenant (Jer 31:31+, Dan 9:27, Ezek 36, Hosea, much more), when you have no desire to ‘circumcise the foreskin of your heart’?
YHWH commanded that NO Moabites be come into Israel for 10 generations, yet Ruth professes her emunah (‘faith’) and is GRAFTED INTO Israel, being a widow her swearing cannot be annulled by father or husband (Num 30), she is now a part of Israel. She is even the great grandmother to King David and thus up the family Tree of The Eternal King Yahshua.
There is no such thing as a ‘gentile believer’, that is an oxymoron. There is Israel (THE Bride, and there is no other) and the rest of the world – Goyeem (Heathen, UNBELIEVERS, nations). Once you understand that your repentance of walking contrary to YHWH and confession of emunah in Messiah King Yahshua makes you a part of Israel (no ‘Jewish conversion’ needed), you must follow the Jerusalem Council’s ‘ground zero’ for new children of Israel (Acts 15:20-21) who are completely ignorant of the Way of Torah and will learn Shabbat to Shabbat when Moses is read (Matt 23:2-3).
One of the most unifying concepts to understand is that, like the seed of His Word, the northern kingdom (House of Israel) was ‘divorced’ and scattered to the nations, which He will regather (and IS gathering a remnant now) them back as His people before, during and after the time of tribulation. There is much more to the entirety of this, but for brevity, just understand that Judah (rabbinic judaism) and Ephraim (christianity) are the two houses of the Whole House of Israel.
Ezekiel 36:17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of יהוה, and are gone forth out of his land.
21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Sovereign יהוה; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am יהוה, saith the Sovereign יהוה, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your Elohim.
Our Sunday morning Church meeting is going chapter by chapter through Matthew. Sunday evening it is Genesis.
If you get a chance take a look at the 10 Commandments in the Jewish Torah, Catholic Bible, and the Protestant NIV Bible. They are not quite the same.
