You claim to honor Christ by celebrating His birthday. The Heathens celebrate the Sun god's birth on December 25th, you Christians celebrate the Son of God birth on December 25th. Celebrating pagan ways , you love, God hates Jermiah 10:2 The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children (If you mix unholy with Holy it is blas·phe·my ) Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed on Easter Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. You must not worship the LORD your God the way the other nations worship their gods, for they perform for their gods every detestable act that the LORD hates. THIS Is What Jesus and the Bible Say about Christmas... Is Christmas a Christian or Pagan Holiday? Wanneer werd de Messias geboren? Kurt Cammeron redt Kerstmis Weg met Pasen! (Heidense oorsprong van Pasen en Kerstmis blootgelegd) Deel 1 van 8 Waarheid of tradities Celebrating Jesus' Birthday Kerst video's Het vieren van Yule-video Kerst filmpje Pat Robertson geeft toe dat Kerstmis carnel is The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Pagan Christmas How This Pagan Custom Got into the Church The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge explains clearly, in its article on "Christmas": "How much the date of the festival depended upon the pagan Brumalia (Dec. 25) following the Saturnalia (Dec. 17-24), and celebrating the shortest day in the year and the 'new sun,’. December 25th is not the birthday of Yeshua the true Christ! The apostles and early true Church never celebrated Christ's birthday at any time. There is no command or instruction to celebrate it in the Bible—rather, the celebration of birthdays is a pagan, not a Christian custom , believe it or not, the pagan festival with its riot and merrymaking was so popular that Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration with little change in spirit and in manner. Christian preachers of the West and the Near East protested the unseemly frivolity with which Christ's birthday was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their Western brethren of idolatry and sun worship for adopting as Christian this pagan festival but remember, these people had grown up in pagan customs, chief of which was this idolatrous festival of December 25th. It was a festival of merrymaking, with its special spirit. They enjoyed it! They didn't want to give it up! Now this same article in the New Schaff- Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge Explains how the recognition by Constantine of Sunday, which had been the day of pagan sun worship, and how the influence of the pagan Manichaeism, which identified the SON of God with the physical SUN, gave these pagans of the fourth century, now turning over wholesale to "Christianity," their excuse for calling their pagan festival date of December 25th (birthday of the SUN-god) the birthday of the SON of God. And that is how "Christmas" became fastened on our Western world! We may call it by another name, but it's the same old pagan sun-worshipping festival still! ."The Real Origin of Christmas but if we got Christmas from the Roman Catholics, and they got it from paganism, where did the pagans get it? Where, when, and what was its real origin? It is a chief custom of the corrupt system denounced all through Bible prophecies and teachings under the name of Babylon. And it started and originated in the original Babylon of ancient Nimrod! She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. December 25th was the birthday of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree. We are shocked to learn the truth—some, unfortunately, take offense at the plain truth! But God commands His faithful ministers, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression! 22 Then the Yehovah said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. Exodus 20:22 Psalm 81:12 So I let them follow their stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for 1. The date of December 25 is not found in your Bible. The shepherds and sheep would not be in the fields in the winter. There is There is no verse that mentions the number of wise men. There is no mention that any of them were Kings. The wise men found the king of the Jews when he was around 2 years old. The Bible does mention not to bring an evergreen tree into your home and decorate it Mary and Joseph were not required to travel in the winter Yehovah says a lying tongue is the second on His list that He hates most. Everything about Christmas is pagan, Pat Robertson admits to the fully pagan origins of Christmas and defends celebrating the Christianized pagan holiday ● Jeremiah 10:2 Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens though the nations are terrified by them; 3 For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. 4"They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.… I have come to believe that nothing can be said to change one’s mind about Christmas. The music, gifts, food, and festive events outweigh the true meaning of Yeshua’s birth, this event trumps Yehovah. If you really want to celebrate His birth, then don't do it on the pagan sun god’s birthday on December 25th. This is what we find in the Bible. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death!" John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Deuteronomy 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods. ● Matthew 15:9 "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" John 4:23 The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. He will not accept that kind of worship, even though it is intended in His honor. To Him, He says, it is offering what is abominable to Him, and therefore it honors, not Him, but false pagan gods. GOD says we must not worship Him according to the "dictates of our conscience"—a term we often hear. Does It Honor Christ? Suppose someone you love has a birthday. You want to honor that person on his or her birthday. Would you lavishly buy gifts for everyone else, trading gifts back and forth with all your other friends and loved ones, but ignore completely any gift for the one whose birthday you are honoring? Now come two arguments often used to justify Christmas observance. Many will reason this way: "But, even though the exact date of Yeshua's birth is unknown, should we not select some date to celebrate as His birthday?" The answer is positively no! Did you not notice the statement quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia? "Sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthdays." The celebration of birthdays is not a Christian, but a pagan custom, observed by sinners! But many still say, "Even so—even though Christmas was a pagan custom, honoring the false sun-god, we don't observe it to honor the false god, we observe it to honor Christ." But how does GOD answer in His Word? "Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [the pagans in their customs] . . . that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, how did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise? Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God: for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods" But Yeshua says plainly, "Yehovah is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). And what is truth? Yehovah’s Word—the Holy Bible—says Yeshua, is truth (John 17:17); and the Bible says Yehovah will not accept worship when people take a pagan custom or manner of worship and try to honor Christ with it. Again, Yeshua said: "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). Christmas observance is a tradition of men, and the commandments of Yehovah, as quoted, forbid it. Yeshua said, further, "Full well ye reject the commandment of Yehovah, that ye may keep your tradition." That is precisely what the millions are doing today. They ignore the commandment of Yehovah He commands, regarding taking the customs of the pagans and using them to honor or worship Yehovah: "Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God." Still, most people today take that command of Yehovah lightly, or as having no validity whatsoever, and follow the tradition of men in observing Christmas. Make no mistake! Yehovah 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! Yeshua was the living Word of Yehovah in person, and the Bible is the written Word of Yehovah. And we shall be judged, for eternity, by these words! They should not be taken lightly or ignored. What Encyclopedias Say The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," or, as it came to be shortened, "Christ-Mass." It came from the Roman /Catholic Church. Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on His birthday. These recognized historical authorities show Christmas was not observed by Christians for the first two or three hundred years—a period longer than the entire history of the United States as a nation! In the fifth century, the Western Church ordered it to be celebrated forever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, as no certain knowledge of the day of Christ's birth existed." Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. In 274 AD the Roman emperor Aurelian made it an official cult alongside the traditional Roman cults. God forbids pagan feast days idolater, a person that admires intensely and often blindly one that is not usually a subject of worship. Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image, being a physical image, such as a statue, Every year, the priest of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar. The children were born on Christmas and the next year they were sacrificed at the Easter Sunday sunrise service. The priest would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. This was observed around 2000 years before Christ was born. 'You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Moloch, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yehovah. Leviticus 18:21 21. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Yehovah your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected by children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. Exodus 20: 5 Do Not Be Unequally Yoked …16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Cor 6:1717 The Sovereignty of God 1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the people are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman…4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they faste n it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Jeremiah 10:2-4

These three words, show God's love by Obedience, the only place to find Truth is in His Torah, and if we are not in His spirit we can't, please Him.  The thing that haunts me most in life is on the day of judgment, you say Daddy why didn't you make me listen?      DAD    Aan mijn mooie dochters en jullie families Ik wilde je gewoon vertellen hoe trots ik ben op ieder van jullie, als dochter, vrouw en moeder. En als vaders en zonen van echtgenoten. Ik was van plan je mijn boek te geven, zonder redelijke twijfel en de dvd genaamd The Way, deze dvd laat zien hoe God zijn kinderen uit de kerk roept. De dvd beschrijft waarom je moeder en ik de kerk verlieten. Ik was van plan je mijn boek te geven voordat ik geopereerd werd, maar mijn redacteur was een beetje in de war en ik kreeg het niet op tijd bij de uitgever. de operatie doorstaan, dacht ik ook dat je meer geneigd zou zijn om ze te bestuderen. God zei dat het doel van het leven is om Zijn geboden te houden Prediker 12:13. en hoe hij wil dat we leven en van hem houden. Het staat allemaal in de eerste boeken van de Bijbel, de kerk noemt ze de wet, maar God zei dat het Zijn instructies zijn. Het komt hierop neer: gaan we leven als Zijn Zoon en gehoorzamen we zijn geboden, wat leidt tot het eeuwige leven, of gaan we door mensen gemaakte tradities volgen, uw kerk, wat leidt tot de eeuwige dood. Johannes 3:36 Dit klinkt hard, maar dat is wat God zei. Als je mijn boeken bestudeert, zul je snel ontdekken dat er overal verzen aan verbonden zijn. God zei: "Zonde is niet zijn geboden houden" 1 Johannes 3:4, en het bewijs dat u wedergeboren bent, is dat u weigert te zondigen 1 Johannes 3:9. Dit volgende vers is er een die je nooit in de kerk zult horen. Nu het goede deel, Hij zond Zijn Zoon, Hij betaalde voor onze zonden, Hij nagelde de vloek van zonde en dood aan het kruis; niet de wet van God. Galaten 3:13, hij liet ons zien hoe we moeten leven door Zijn voedselwetten te houden, de sabbat te houden, GODS FEESTDAGEN te houden en alle geboden te houden. Hij vertelde ons het goede nieuws dat Gods koninkrijk naar een nieuwe aarde komt. Lukas 4:43 het is een kubus van 1300 mijl die Hij het nieuwe Jeruzalem noemt en dan zal Hij onder ons wonen. We moeten ons bekeren, ons laten dopen in Zijn naam van Yeshua en dan zal Hij ons Zijn Geest geven Handelingen 2:38. De Geest zal ons onderwijzen en ons helpen Gods geboden en inzettingen te onderhouden. Ons bewijs dat we wedergeboren zijn, is dat we zullen weigeren te zondigen, ons leven zal op het zijne lijken. Dan zullen we ons leven leiden om hem te plezieren. 1 Johannes 3:9. Sindsdien heb ik mijn boek herschreven, nadat we de boeken van de uitgever hadden ontvangen, ontdekte moeder verschillende fouten, ik betaalde voor een spellingcontrole, maar het verandert de betekenis van verschillende woorden. Ik geloof dat God me inspireerde om deze boeken te schrijven, houd in gedachten dat Hij mensen zoals ik kiest, omdat ik de laatste persoon zou zijn die je zou verwachten om Zijn woorden in deze vorm samen te voegen. Tussen beide boeken staan meer dan 60.000 woorden en meer dan 700 bijbelverzen. Ik werd bijna elke ochtend rond 3 uur 's ochtends wakker met een ander vers dat bewees dat Gods woord de meeste christelijke leringen steunt. De vraag die ik mezelf stelde is: ben ik klaar om het hoofd te biedenGods boze oordeel? Ik herinner me hoe ik dacht dat ik goed genoeg was om als eerste door de parelwitte poorten te gaan. Ik ging twee keer per week naar de kerk, één keer per week bijbelstudie, ik gaf getuigenis aan vreemden, ik verzamelde schoenen, knuffels, tandenborstels, ik voedde daklozen, getuigde aan patiënten in verpleeghuizen, we deelden meer dan 30.000 nummers uit en ik bouwde 3 christelijke websites, ik nam een vreemde in huis. We hebben zoveel mensen geholpen dat we de tel kwijt waren. Ik zou door kunnen gaan; ik hield me echter niet aan Gods gebod, ik weigerde Zijn Leviticus-voedselinstructies op te volgen, ik hield me niet aan Zijn heilige sabbat en ging naar de kerk op een dag die ik uitkoos. Ik vierde Pagan Christmas, Pasen en Halloween terwijl ik onrein voedsel at. En ik leerde mijn kinderen Zijn geboden niet, of hoe we moesten leven zoals zijn Zoon deed. Ik word elke ochtend wakker en denk aan wat ik kan zeggen om je te laten zien dat je op hetzelfde pad zit als ik. Het is overweldigend hoeveel informatie ik je geef. Maar het verandert niets aan het feit dat God zijn instructies opschreef in Zijn Thora, de eerste vijf boeken van de bijbel, en Hij verwacht dat iedereen ze gehoorzaamt en Zijn Zoon volgt en gehoorzaamt. Deze verzen zijn: Gods eigen woorden, ze verwerpen is God Zelf verwerpen, wat eeuwige gevolgen heeft. Degene die God toebehoort, luistert en reageert op Gods woorden. Johannes 8:47 Als je vader zal ik nooit stoppen met proberen je te beschermen, zelfs tot mijn laatste ademtocht ben ik bereid mijn leven en zelfs mijn ziel te geven om jou en je gezin te beschermen. God zegende me met al deze informatie. en ik geef het aan jou. Deze drie woorden tonen Gods liefde door gehoorzaamheid, de enige plaats om waarheid te vinden is in zijn Thora, en als we niet in zijn geest zijn, kunnen we dat niet, Hem behagen. ik ben het meest in het leven op de dag des oordeels, je zegt papa, waarom heb je me niet laten luisteren? DAD

Are you a REAL Christian? The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist There was only one person in the entire Bible (Torah) that did everything correctly you proclaim to follow Him however you live and do the opposite. He said if you love me keep my commandments, but you don't Christ said: If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” …Matthew 19:16 God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 If God's laws mean nothing to you You mean nothing to God But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’Matthew 7:23 All Israel will be saved If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments, you will receive the mark of the beast (Your Father the Devil) not the mark of God. “Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don’t be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! Isaiah 58:1 Yeshua is Our Advocate …3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:… Christianity the New Religion The Final Takeaway Yeshua didn't leave behind a selective checklist where people get to pick and choose which laws to follow. He left a narrow path. This test leaves absolutely no room for casual religion or intellectual debates. Yeshua didn't leave behind a philosophy to be discussed; He left a narrow path to be walked. If the answers point to a life of compromise, it isn't a cue to just feel guilty or give up—it is a direct, urgent call to repent. It means turning away from the ways of the world, picking up the truth of the Torah that Yeshua lived out, and making the firm decision to let your hands, your mind, and your daily life reflect the Master you claim to follow. If people claim to belong to Him but they refuse to live as He lived, keep what He kept, and honor the Torah the way He did, they are practicing lawlessness. True faith is not found in the empty rituals of those who rewrite His words—it is found in literal, active obedience to the Master. According to the New Testament, merely claiming to a Christian and follow the Messiah is not the same as actually following Him. Yeshua said : "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46) And: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) The apostle John wrote: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." (1 John 2:3–4) From this perspective, a person who continually refuses to follow the Messiah's teachings while professing faith creates a contradiction between their profession and their actions. However, many Christians would distinguish between: A believer who struggles with sin but desires to obey God and repents when they fail. A person who knowingly rejects God's commands and has no intention of obeying them. The New Testament repeatedly calls believers to repentance, faith, and obedience, while also recognizing that believers are not sinless and may stumble (1 John 1:8–9). So, if someone completely refuses to follow the Messiah and His commandments, many would argue that Scripture calls into question whether that person's profession of faith is genuine. Passages such as Matthew 7:21–23, Luke 6:46, and 1 John 2:3–4 are often cited in that discussion. The core biblical test is not what a person calls themselves, but whether their life shows faith expressed through obedience to God. How to Find Out Which Religion Is Right (It’s Easier Than You Think) Our Lord again reminds us that the manifestation of our love for Him will be in our obedience to His commands. Keeping Christ's commandments is and always has been the best test of our love for Yeshua Children of God Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:27 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 1 John 4:1 And For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:1 1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 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. brother. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer me who lives, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 God's seal is not a physical mark The forehead represents the mind of those who make a conscious decision to obey God's requirements to receive His seal will protect us from the last seven plagues. The Mark of God is a sign of obedience between God and His faithful Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath, not Sunday and they get the Mark of God will escape the plages. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Is a characteristic of people who have surrendered their lives to God God's seal is in His laws. Bind up the testimonies and seal the law among my disciples. God's sign is His seal, the words sing and seal are interchangeable in the bible. The Sabbath is God's sign, The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. The fourth commandment is to remember the Sabbath. There is not one scripture in the entire Bible changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Its a sign of God's authority He chose the day. There are three elements to a legal seal, The seal giver His title His territory The Great Commission The Great Commission is Jesus's final instruction to his disciples before his ascension, found in Matthew 28:19-20. The passage says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This is not just a suggestion, but a command for all who follow Him. Why It Is Considered a Sin A Command, Not a Suggestion: The Bible frames this as a clear directive. A sin is defined as "missing the mark" or an act of disobedience against God's will. Willfully ignoring a direct command from Jesus is therefore considered a sinful act. The Nature of a Disciple: In Christian belief, a true disciple isn't just a follower, but a learner and a reproducer. The biblical understanding is that a disciple of Jesus should naturally want to share their faith and help others become disciples, just as they were discipled. A Christian who has no desire to make disciples may be demonstrating a lack of genuine conversion or a spiritual selfishness that is contrary to the self-sacrificial nature of Christ. Sins of Omission: The Bible teaches that sin isn't only about doing something wrong (sins of commission) but also about failing to do something you know you should do (sins of omission). Not making disciples falls squarely into this category. It's an act of neglecting a divinely ordained responsibility. While a Christian's salvation isn't based on their ability to make disciples, their obedience to this command is seen as evidence of their faith and love for God and others. For many, a failure to engage in this work points to a deeper spiritual issue, such as fear, a lack of trust in God's power, or a love for oneself more than for others. There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: The law of faith (Romans 3:27) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2) The law of Christ = love God and love your neighbor, fulfilled by the Spirit (Galatians 5:14; 6:2; Romans 13:8–10) One God. One Messiah. One gospel. One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks.

Luke 11:13 God gives His Spirit only to those who have demonstrated in attitude and behavior that they have repented. Then they must be baptized and obey His commandments. No one who continues to live a lifestyle apart from God's law has received the Spirit of God or has the power of God working in him. 777 Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath These elements are found in the Sabbath commandment. Seventh day God created the heavens and earth and finished His work. Seventh-day, He rested Seventh-day, He sanctified it. Seventh-day, He made it Holy Those who receive God's seal upon their foreheads are "God's commandment-keeping people ." "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Rev 14:12; Testimonies, 6:15). Who will seal God's children? Revelation 14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua. The mark of God is a sign of protection over God's people. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 1. Ex. 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between you and me throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctifies you. Deuteronomy 6:4-94 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and your gates. Exodus 13: -10 6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. 9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes , that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. And LORD YEHOVAH said to him: “Go through within the city, within Jerusalem, and make a mark on the forehead of the men who groan and are tormented because of all the abominations and the evils that are done within her” What is the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit? The seal of the Holy Spirit is God's means of protecting the believer. The Holy Spirit is God's seal of protection over the believer's life. Under this sacred seal, no man, demon, or any other thing can wrest the Christian from the secure position he has in Christ Yeshua. The seal represents the certainty that we receive from the Holy Spirit. Despite what our emotions tell us, despite what the lies of the enemy tell us, and despite what our own human reasoning tells us, we know that we belong to God because of the Holy Spirit, the seal of the promise of salvation. “When you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. he will guide you into all the truth, my life belongs to Him.” I must turn away from evil. Those who receive God's seal upon their foreheads are "God's commandment-keeping people." 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”

This marriage relationship was established by God because national Israel typified and foreshadowed the spiritual Israel of God which was to become the eternal bride of Christ. The Marriage supper of the Lamb When and where will the marriage supper of the Lamb take place? GODS HUWELIJK MET ISRAËL Deze huwelijksrelatie werd tot stand gebracht door God omdat het nationale Israël een type was van en een voorafschaduwing was van het geestelijke Israël van God dat de eeuwige bruid van Christus zou worden. Gods klacht opgetekend in Jeremia 3:14 betreffende de geestelijke ontucht bedreven door Zijn vrouw: (het gouden kalf) Bekeer u, o afvallige kinderen, zegt de Heer; want ik ben met jou getrouwd: ... Hij was niet als individu met hen getrouwd; als individuen waren ze geestelijk getrouwd met de wet van God. Hij was eerder met hen getrouwd als een rechtspersoon. Nooit in de nationale geschiedenis van Israël waren ze trouw. Herhaaldelijk begeerden ze andere goden. Wat moest God doen met Zijn overspelige vrouw? Volgens Gods eeuwige wet is de dood vereist voor de overspelige vrouw. Maar God kon Israël als natie niet volledig vernietigen, want het was uit het nationale Israël dat Christus zou komen. Bovendien was het Gods plan om het nationale Israël te gebruiken als een voorbeeld van Zijn geduld en barmhartigheid. Bedenk dat in de gelijkenis van Lukas 13 de vijgenboom die herhaaldelijk geen vrucht had gedragen, moest worden omgehakt. Maar dan moest het nog een kans krijgen. Als er dan nog geen fruit was, moest het worden gekapt._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ De gelijkenis van de tien maagden Mattheüs 25:1-13 1 “Dan zal het koninkrijk der hemelen zijn als tien maagden die hun lampen pakten en de bruidegom tegemoet gingen. 2 Vijf van hen waren dwaas en vijf waren wijs. 3 Want toen de dwazen hun lampen meenamen, namen ze geen olie mee, 4 maar de wijzen namen kruiken olie mee met hun lampen. 5 Toen de bruidegom op zich liet wachten, werden ze allemaal slaperig en sliepen. 6 Maar om middernacht klonk er een kreet: 'Hier is de bruidegom! Kom naar buiten om hem te ontmoeten.' 7 Toen stonden al die maagden op en maakten hun lampen in orde. 8 En de dwazen zeiden tegen de wijzen: 'Geef ons wat van uw olie, want onze lampen gaan uit.' wij en voor jou; ga in plaats daarvan naar de dealers en koop voor jezelf.' 10 En terwijl ze op weg waren om te kopen, kwam de bruidegom, en degenen die klaar waren, gingen met hem naar binnen naar het bruiloftsfeest, en de deur werd gesloten. 11 Daarna kwamen ook de andere maagden en zeiden: "Heer, Heer, doe ons open." 12 Maar hij antwoordde: 'Voorwaar, ik zeg u: ik ken u niet.' 13 Waak daarom, want u kent noch de dag noch het uur. In deze gelijkenis zijn er vijf kritische woorden die moeten worden gedefinieerd om ons in staat te stellen de volledige bedoelde betekenis eruit te halen... die vijf woorden zijn: (pagina 16) Wijs: De wijze is iemand die hoort en gehoorzaamt. Psalm 19:7 De wet van de HEERE is volmaakt, levendmakend voor de ziel; het getuigenis van Jehova is zeker, maakt de eenvoudigen wijs; _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Matthew 7:24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be_cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ als een wijs man die zijn huis op de rots bouwde. Dwaas: De dwazen zijn degenen die ongehoorzaam zijn. Dwazen hebben een hekel aan instructie; (Torah betekent 'instructie', aangezien het betrekking heeft op het Woord van God). Spreuken 1:7 De vreze des HEREN (JHWH) is het begin van kennis; dwazen verachten wijsheid en instructie. Spreuken 10:8 De wijze van hart zal geboden ontvangen, maar een brabbelende dwaas zal te gronde gaan. Mattheüs 7:26 En iedereen die deze woorden van mij hoort en ze niet doet, zal zijn als een dwaze man die zijn huis op het zand bouwde. Lamp: Dit is het gebod. Spreuken 6:23 Want het gebod is een lamp en de leer een licht, en de berispingen van discipline zijn de manier van leven, LICHT: HET LICHT IS DE WET, DE TORAH. Spreuken 6:23 Want het gebod is een lamp en de leer een licht, en de bestraffingen van tucht zijn de weg ten leven, Licht: Het licht is de wet, de Thora. Spreuken 6:23 Want het gebod is een lamp en de leer een licht, en de bestraffingen van tucht zijn de weg ten leven, Oil: Is het verlangen naar gehoorzaamheid. Onthoud voordat u dit gebod leest, dat de lamp "het gebod" is en het licht "de wet". Leviticus 24:2 “Beveel het volk van Israël om u zuivere olie van gestoten olijven voor de lamp te brengen, zodat er regelmatig een licht kan blijven branden. -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Vergeet niet dat het eindresultaat bepaalt wie welkom is bij intimiteit met de bruidegom. Wie licht heeft, is welkom. Licht is de voorwaarde voor het juiste resultaat. Denk hierover na. Het doel was dat de dwazen geen LICHT hadden, we moeten dit in gedachten houden tijdens dit onderwijs. Laten we beginnen Bijbelse definitie van de termen: Openbaring 19:6-96 Toen hoorde ik wat leek op de stem van een grote menigte, als het gebulder van vele wateren en als het geluid van machtige donderslagen, uitroepend: “Halleluja! For Yehovah our Elohim the Almighty reigns.7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the heerlijkheid, voor de bruiloft van het Lam, is gekomen, en zijn bruid heeft zich gereedgemaakt; 8 het werd haar toegestaan zich te kleden met fijn linnen, stralend en puur”—want het fijne linnen zijn de rechtvaardige daden van de heiligen. 9 En de engel zei [a] tegen mij: "Schrijf dit op: Zalig zijn zij die zijn uitgenodigd voor het bruiloftsmaal van het Lam." En hij zei tegen mij: "Dit zijn de ware woorden van God." 25 Mannen, heb uw vrouw lief, net zoals Christus de kerk liefhad en Zichzelf voor haar overgaf (pagina 17) 14 Keer terug, VAN ontrouwe zonen,' verklaart de HERE; Want ik ben een meester voor je, en ik zal je een uit een stad en twee uit een familie halen, en ik zal je naar Sion brengen.' 15 "Dan zal Ik u herders naar Mijn hart geven, die u zullen voeden met kennis en begrip..."Want Ik ben jaloers op u met goddelijke jaloezie: want Ik heb u ondertrouwd (ondertrouwd) aan één man, opdat Ik u kan voorstellen als een kuise maagd voor Christus.” (2 Korintiërs 11:2) (Johannes 14:1-4) "Laat uw hart niet verontrust zijn: u gelooft in God, gelooft ook in mij. In het huis van mijn Vader zijn vele woningen: als dat niet zo was, zou ik zei ik je. Ik ga heen om een plaats voor je klaar te maken. En als ik heenga en een plaats voor je klaarmaak, zal ik terugkomen en je tot Mij nemen; opdat waar Ik ben, daar jij ook mag zijn. En waar Ik heen ga jij weet, en de manier waarop u weet. (Marcus 13:32-37) "Maar van die dag en dat uur weet niemand, ook niet de engelen in de hemel, noch de Zoon, maar de Vader. Pas op, waak en bid, want u weet niet wanneer de tijd Want de Zoon des Mensen is als een man die een verre reis maakt, die zijn huis verliet, en gezag gaf aan zijn dienaren, en aan een ieder zijn werk, en de portier gebood om te waken. wanneer de heer des huizes komt, 's avonds of middernacht, of bij het kraaien van de haan, of 's morgens: opdat hij u niet plotseling vindt slapend. En wat ik u zeg, zeg ik tot allen: Let op." -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ "Terwijl de bruidegom het nieuwe huis bouwt, wacht de bruid en draagt een sluier en een hoofdband met de munten. Dit laat zien dat ze alleen van de bruidegom is; ze is niet langer beschikbaar. Ze bereidt zich voor op haar huwelijk door dekens maken, proberen de vrouw van Spreuken 31: 10-31 te worden. Ze toont ook dankbaarheid aan haar familie voor het opvoeden van haar, en ze herstelt gekwetste relaties. Wat er ook gebeurt, sh Hij moest klaarstaan, want hij zou 's nachts komen.”

The statement " God gives His Spirit to those who keep His commandments" is a core theological concept, emphasizing that obedience to God's commands is a sign of love and a means by which His Spirit empowers believers to live a life pleasing to Him. Acts 5:32 Romans 8:9, he writes: "But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all". Self-Test The Examination of Faith: A Self-Test Scriptural Requirements for Salvation. "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith.It asks: Is my faith a living, breathing part of who I am, or am I just going through the motions?Test yourselves..." — 2 Corinthians 13:5 He wants us to find out now, in the quiet of our own prayer lives, if we are operating in the flesh or the Spirit—rather than standing before Him on Judgement Day only to hear the words, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness" (Matthew 7:23). The Line in the Sand Scriptural Assessment There is no gray area, no partial alignment, and no grading on a curve. In the economy of God's Kingdom, you are either a submissive subject or an active rebel. Your daily actions, your handling of His instructions, and the fruit of your lifestyle are the evidence that will either vindicate you or convict you. Use this 15-point diagnostic to weigh your walk under the light of the written Word. Test 1: The Benchmark of Gathering "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad." — Matthew 12:30 The Question: Are your daily choices, your lifestyle, and the traditions you practice actively gathering people into covenant obedience to God's instructions, or are your actions scattering them away into compromise, lawlessness 1 John 3:4, and worldly customs? By saying "He who is not with Me is against Me," He eliminated any possibility of a "neutral ground." In a spiritual war, sitting on the fence is not an option. If you are not actively working for the Kingdom of Light, your existence naturally serves the Kingdom of Darkness. Are your daily choices, your lifestyle, and the traditions you practice actively gathering people into covenant obedience to God's instructions, or are your actions scattering them away into compromise, lawlessness, and worldly customs? Your Answer: [ ] YES, I am gathering / [ ] NO, I am scattering Test 2: The Benchmark of the Spirit "And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." — Acts 5:32 The Question: Does the spirit inside you cause you to humbly submit to and keep the Father's commandments (Ezekiel 36:27), or does it make excuses, calling obedience "legalism" while clinging to man-made traditions? (God only gives His true Spirit to those who obey Him). Your Answer: [ ] YES, it leads to obedience / [ ] NO, it rejects His law Test 3: The Benchmark of Truth "He who says, 'I know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." — 1 John 2:4 The Question: When confronted with the plain instructions of Scripture, do you lay your life down flat to align with them, or do you pretend to know God through a mere "feeling" or traditional heritage while ignoring His laws? Your Answer: [ ] YES, the truth is in me / [ ] NO, I am deceiving myself Test 4: The Benchmark of Love "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." — John 13:35 The Question: Is your life marked by genuine, sacrificial love and service toward the brethren who walk in the truth, or is it hindered by pride, malice, or division? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 5: The Benchmark of Fruit "Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit... Therefore by their fruits you will know them." — Matthew 7:17, 20 The Question: Does the daily output of your life consistently produce the supernatural fruit of the Spirit—patience, kindness, goodness, and self-control—or do you still bear the bitter fruit of the flesh? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 6: The Benchmark of the Tongue "If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless." — James 1:26 The Question: Is your speech ruled by scriptural self-control, or is your tongue unbridled—frequently given over to anger, gossip, profane language, or tearing others down? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 7: The Benchmark of Separation "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." — 1 John 2:15 The Question: Have you consciously set yourself apart from worldly entertainment, fleshly standards, and pagan-rooted traditions because you love the Father more than the culture? Jeremiah 10:43 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman. 4 They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter. Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 8: The Benchmark of Action "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." — James 1:22 The Question: When you discover a direct command or truth written in the Scriptures, do you immediately adjust your life to execute it, or do you simply listen to it and remain unchanged? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 9: The Benchmark of Sovereignty "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other... You cannot serve God and mammon (money)." — Matthew 6:24 The Question: Does the Almighty possess total authority over how you acquire, manage, and distribute your financial resources, or does the pursuit of wealth, security, and personal comfort govern your choices? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 10: The Benchmark of Mercy "He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy." — Proverbs 14:31 The Question: Do you actively demonstrate compassion, care, and tangible help to the poor, weak, or distressed when it is within your power to do so? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 11: The Benchmark of Correction "Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser..." — Proverbs 9:8-9 The Question: When another believer brings scriptural correction to expose an error or a sin in your walk, do you receive it with humility and appreciation, or do you respond with anger, pride, and self-defense? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 12: The Benchmark of Humility "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble... Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." — James 4:6, 10 The Question: Are you genuinely willing to take the lowest seat, serve without recognition, and prioritize God's reputation above your own ego and the desire to be right? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 13: The Benchmark of Endurance "But he who endures to the end shall be saved." — Matthew 24:13 The Question: Do you remain steadfast in obeying God's truth when trials, persecution, or family rejection come against you, or do you compromise your walk to escape friction or pressure? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 14: The Benchmark of Pure Worship "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24 The Question: Do you worship God strictly according to the clean parameters defined in His Word, or do you try to honor Him using methods, calendars, and celebrations adopted from pagan cultures? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 15: The Benchmark of Fear of Man "The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever treats the Lord shall be safe." — Proverbs 29:25 The Question: Is your ultimate goal to please the Master regardless of public opinion, or do you alter your speech, actions, and scriptural standards to seek the approval and validation of human beings? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO ⚖️ Evaluating the Results If you answered YES to all 15: You are With God. Your eyes and ears have been opened by a soft heart, and the true Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is operating inside you, giving you the supernatural power and desire to walk in His covenant statutes (Ezekiel 36:27). If you answered NO to any of them: You are Against God. This is the definition of spiritual blindness. By rejecting the light of His instructions in favor of your own comfort or man-made religious traditions, you have closed your own eyes. If you persist in this state, God will eventually confirm you in that darkness, making it so you can no longer hear or see the truth. "Choose this day whom you will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." — Joshua 24:15

Statics say 84% of Americans believe in the divinity of Christ and 74% profess commitment to him yet America continues downward spiritually to correction and morality why has Christianity not worked? Welcome, Fellow Truth Seekers: Start Your Journey Here Please keep in mind TEST EVERYTHING to scripture. If you have found your way to this page, it is highly likely that your spirit has begun to feel a quiet, persistent unsettling. Perhaps you have spent years—or even decades—sitting in mainstream church pews, loving God with all of your heart, yet sensing an invisible disconnect between the raw, unfiltered pages of your Bible and the traditions taught from the pulpit. You are not alone. Across the globe, the Father is whispering a call to return to His ancient paths, and your presence here is not an accident. This website is a sanctuary for those who are ready to lay down human dogmas, step out of traditional conditioning, and align their spiritual mirrors with the eternal, beautiful instructions of the Father—the $Torah$. Here is a map of what you will find on this platform and how to navigate your journey back to pure, uncompromised biblical truth. Step 1: Take the Self-Diagnostic Before you read a single article, we invite you to bypass the traditional defenses of your mind and take an honest, private look into the scriptural mirror. Take The Lawlessness (Anomia) Test App Our interactive, 10-question diagnostic tool is designed to evaluate your everyday theological beliefs and lifestyles against the objective standard of God's written Law. It is completely anonymous and acts as a powerful diagnostic tool to see if your spiritual "hardware" is tuned to the frequency of obedience or the frequency of traditional lawlessness ($anomia$). Step 2: Explore the Deep-Dive Studies Once you have taken the test, your heart may feel a bit unsettled by the gap between traditional church practices and the written Word. This is completely normal. To help you understand the mechanics of what you are experiencing, we have compiled a step-by-step library of theological and psychological resources: The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry: Understand the cosmic law of spiritual gravity: what you revere, you will resemble. Learn how choosing man-made systems over the Father's voice leads to a spiritual sensory shutdown (eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear). The Alignment of the Mirror: Discover why physical commandments like the Seventh-day Sabbath ($Shabbat$), biblical dietary boundaries ($Kashrut$), and even physical tassels ($Tzitzit$) are actually divine optical tools designed to keep your mirror pointed at the Creator. The Pauline Filter: Learn how to dismantle the highly selective, traditional lens used to twist the letters of the Apostle Paul into a shield against keeping the Father's commandments. The Mechanics of Conditioning : Are churchgoers "brainwashed"? Read a compassionate, psychological and sociological breakdown of why our loved ones experience intense cognitive dissonance and defensive reactions when confronted with the truth of the $Torah$. The Spirit of the Lawless One : Peer behind the physical world to understand the spiritual warfare of $anomia$, exploring how systematically bypassing the Creator's Law mirrors the original rebellion of the adversary. Step 3: Find a Soft Landing & Restoration Waking up to the reality of traditional conditioning can feel isolating and overwhelming. The social and emotional costs of walking differently than your family, friends, and church community can trigger immense fear. Read "A Loving Warning to a Churchgoer" If you are looking for a gentle, pastoral explanation of what is happening to your heart—or if you need a letter to share with a loved one that explains this spiritual transition without triggering immediate anger—this resource acts as a healing balm. It explains the mechanics of self-diagnosis, shows you the beautiful path of repentance, and lists clear scriptural proofs to help you take your next steps with confidence. A Note of Encouragement for the Road Beloved truth seeker, turning your mirror back toward the Creator's written instructions is a path of restoration, not bondage. Keeping the Father's commandments is how we physically express our love for Him (1 John 5:3). Take your time. Study the scriptures. Question the traditions you inherited. Ask the Father to remove the veil, polish your spiritual mirror, and restore your eyes to see and your ears to hear the glorious light of His eternal truth. Where to begin? We highly recommend taking The Lawlessness Test first, and letting the scriptures speak directly to you. A Loving Warning to a Churchgoer My friend, Scripture warns that the adversary’s primary goal is not to turn you into an atheist, but to subtly steer you onto his own path of anomia—the spirit of lawlessness that teaches God's instructions no longer have authority over your life (1 John 3:4). You can prove this spiritual blindness is operating in your own heart by looking at a simple, physical instruction like the Fourth Commandment: “But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work...” ($Exodus$ $20:10$). The Creator's written Word plainly designates Saturday as His holy day forever, yet when you look at this text, your eyes read "Saturday" while your traditional training forces you to see "Sunday" or to believe the commandment is abolished. This inability to simply accept and obey what is plainly written—substituting it instead with human church traditions—is the exact "sensory shutdown" warned about in the scriptures; it proves that while you may sincerely love God, you are unknowingly walking the path of the original rebel by treating His eternal $Torah$ as optional. This blindness is not an accident; it is the operation of a profound spiritual law: we spiritually conform to the nature of whatever we worship. When you place your ultimate trust and reverence in a church denomination, a human pastor, or a comfortable system of theology that explains away God's Torah, your soul begins to act as a mirror to that system. You inherit the exact sensory shutdown of the man-made traditions you revere—possessing a Bible you cannot see and a Creator's voice you cannot hear. By taking an honest look at your own daily practices versus the written Word, you are holding up a mirror to your soul and performing a vital self-diagnosis. Your own physical actions are proving that your spiritual hardware has been tuned to copy and reflect a lawless human system rather than the glorious, eternal image of the living God. Proof in the Scriptures: Look Up and Study These Verses If your heart is open to the raw, unfiltered truth of the written Word, please take a moment to look up these scriptures in your own Bible: Is the Sabbath truly done away with? $Exodus$ $31:16-17$: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever...” Question to ponder: If God declared the Sabbath an eternal sign and a perpetual covenant, by whose authority was it changed or abolished? Does God accept worship that is mixed with human traditions? Mark 7:7-9 (Yeshua's Warning): “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men... Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Question to ponder: Are you honoring Sunday, Christmas, or Easter because the Bible commands them, or because church traditions tell you to? What does God think of prayers from those who reject His Law? Proverbs 28:9: “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law ($Torah$), even his prayer shall be abomination.” Question to ponder: If we ignore His written instructions, can we truly say we are in deep communion with Him? How does the New Testament define our love for God? 1 John 5:3: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” Question to ponder: If loving God means keeping His physical commandments, why does modern theology teach that those commandments are a "burden" or "bondage"? This test is specifically designed to expose the subtle, traditional rationalizations that people in the church use to reject God's law. It uses the words of the Messiah Himself from Matthew 7:21-23—where He warns that many well-meaning, miracle-working churchgoers will be turned away because they "work lawlessness" (anomia). The 10-Question Diagnostic Review the statements below. Answer honestly based on your current personal beliefs, teachings, and church practices. 1. The Validity of the Law Do you believe or teach that the Law of Moses ($Torah$) has been "abolished," "nailed to the cross," or "done away with" for New Testament believers? [ ] YES [ ] NO 2. The Definition of Holiness Do you believe that under the New Covenant of "grace," physical obedience to the Creator's Old Testament commandments is completely optional or unnecessary? [ ] YES [ ] NO 3. The Sabbath Day Do you treat Sunday as the Sabbath, or believe the Seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was changed or abolished, despite God designating it as a "perpetual, everlasting covenant"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 4. Dietary Separation Do you believe that God's dietary boundaries (Leviticus 11) no longer apply, and that you are free to eat pig, shellfish, or other unclean things because "Jesus made all foods clean"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 5. Adopting Pagan Customs Do you celebrate holidays of pagan origin (like Christmas on December 25th or Easter Sunday) under the belief that "it's about the heart" and "God knows what it means to me"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 6. The Pauline Filter Do you use isolated, misunderstood verses from the Apostle Paul’s letters to argue against keeping the direct, physical commandments of the Father and the Messiah? [ ] YES [ ] NO 7. Labeling Obedience as "Legalism" Do you refer to, mock, or warn others against believers who strive to keep the Seventh-day Sabbath, eat clean, or wear $tzitzit$ (tassels) by calling them "legalists," "Pharisees," or "under bondage"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 8. Dismissing the Feast Days Do you believe that God’s annual Appointed Times ($Moedim$ in Leviticus 23) were "only for the Jews" and have no prophetic value or application for the Church today? [ ] YES [ ] NO 9. Cheap Grace Do you believe that as long as you "love God" and "love your neighbor," you are free to ignore the specific, physical instructions of how the Creator asked to be loved and worshiped? [ ] YES [ ] NO 10. Defensive Reaction to the Law Does hearing the term "Torah observance" or the suggestion that we must physically keep the commandments of God trigger immediate defensiveness, anger, or discomfort in your heart? [ ] YES [ ] NO Diagnosing the Results: What Does Your Score Mean? Count how many times you answered "YES" to the statements above. If You Answered "YES" 1 to 3 Times: Developing Contamination You have started to absorb some of the traditional, lawless dogmas of mainstream theology. While you may still revere the Old Testament, you are allowing human traditions to slowly blind your spiritual eyes to the plain instructions of the Creator. If You Answered "YES" 4 or More Times: The Spirit of Lawlessness ($Anomia$) A score of 4 or more "YES" answers indicates that your personal theology is operating directly under the spirit of $anomia$ (lawlessness). You are actively practicing a belief system that teaches that God's instructions have no authority over you. By defending these "YES" positions, you are using church traditions as a shield to bypass the written Word of God—which is the exact behavior the Messiah $Yeshua$ condemned in Matthew 7 and Mark 7. The Scriptural Reality Check If this test made you uncomfortable, look closely at what the Scriptures say about each "YES" answer: To Statement 1 & 2: $Yeshua$ said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets... whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19) To Statement 3: God said: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath... throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.” (Exodus 31:16) To Statement 4: The Prophet Isaiah warns that those who consume swine's flesh and abominable things will be consumed together in end-times judgment. (Isaiah 66:17) To Statement 5: God said: “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared... and enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God.” (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) To Statement 6 & 7: The Apostle Peter explicitly warned that those who are "unlearned and unstable" twist Paul's letters to their own destruction because they are led away by the "error of the lawless." (2 Peter 3:15-17) To Statement 8: The Apostle Paul instructed New Testament believers to keep the biblical feasts: “Purge out therefore the old leaven... For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast.” (1 Corinthians 5:7-8) To Statement 9 & 10 : The Apostle John wrote: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” (1 John 5:3) Conclusion Do not let traditional dogmas make the Word of God of "none effect" in your life. Repent of the spirit of lawlessness ($anomia$), point your spiritual mirror directly back to the Creator's written instructions, and let Him restore your eyes to see, your ears to hear, and your heart to obey! Spiritual Blindness and the Mirroring of Idolatry: Why the Church Cannot Comprehend the Torah A common question arises within the movement to return to God's commandments: Why is it that otherwise sincere, Bible-reading churchgoers cannot see, understand, or accept the perpetual validity of the Torah? Scripture reveals that this barrier is not merely intellectual; it is a profound, active spiritual state. When human traditions and man-made theology are elevated above the living instructions of the Creator , a specific spiritual mechanism is triggered: The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry. 1. The Powerless, Dead Idols Scripture is incredibly consistent in how it describes man-made idols. In the Psalms, we are given a vivid description of physical representations used in worship: "They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not..." — Psalm 115:5-6 "They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths." — Psalm 135:16-17 These idols are characterized by complete sensory shutdown. They possess the outward physical forms of sight, hearing, and speech, but they are utterly devoid of spiritual life, breath, and true perception. To bring this ancient biblical truth into the 21st century, we are going to use the example of a "Dummy" Display Smartphone. It looks perfect on the outside but lacks any internal life, illustrating exactly how a person can have all the outward tools of faith (Bibles, apps, church buildings) while remaining spiritually unresponsive to the actual commandments of God. Here is the updated article with this new modern analogy integrated as Section 3. 2. The Spiritual Mirror: Becoming What We Worship The crucial warning of these passages is not just about the statues themselves, but about the transformational impact they have on those who trust in them: "They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." — Psalm 115:8 / Psalm 135:18 This is a spiritual law of the universe: We spiritually conform to the nature of the object of our devotion. When we place our trust in man-made theological structures, physical icons, or ecclesiastical traditions that substitute God's commandments, we begin to match their spiritual state. We develop spiritual eyes that cannot see and spiritual ears that cannot hear. 3. The Diagnosis of Spiritual Stubbornness Throughout the scriptures, when God's people fell into unbelief and stubbornness—trusting in their own traditions and rejecting the Torah—the prophets used this exact "idol-mirroring" language to diagnose their spiritual condition: Jeremiah 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not..." Ezekiel 12:2: "Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house." Mark 8:18: Yeshua Himself confronts His disciples with this same warning when they fall into fear and unbelief: "Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" 4. The Root Cause: Hardening of the Heart Through Unbelief This sensory shutdown is fundamentally caused by a hardening of the heart. When a believer repeatedly encounters the plain text of God's Word but chooses to bypass it to preserve a comfortable, traditional doctrine, a calloused layer forms over their spiritual heart. According to Hebrew thought, the heart is the seat of the mind, will, and understanding. Unbelief acts as a barrier. It refuses to take God at His word. This persistent unbelief leads to a hardened heart (a spiritual thickening/callous). The result is a total inability to process spiritual truth that contradicts human traditions. 5. The Modern Application: The Veil Over the Church This spiritual mirroring explains why many modern churchgoers struggle to understand or accept the Torah. When presented with clear scriptures regarding the seventh-day Sabbath ($Shabbat$), dietary instructions ($Kashrut$), or the Feast Days ($Moedim$), they are often completely unable to comprehend or accept them. Even though the words are right there on the pages of their own Bibles, they cannot perceive them. Just as the dead, traditional systems they trust in are deaf to the living voice of God's law, they too experience a spiritual dullness. Until they repent of human traditions and surrender to the authority of the Creator's written Word, the veil remains over their eyes, keeping them spiritually blind to the beauty, light, and perpetual life of the Torah. This statement echoes 1 John 3:8, which says, "Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning" The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry: What You Revere, You Resemble One of the most profound, yet frequently overlooked, spiritual laws written across the pages of Scripture is what theologians call The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry. Simply put, the principle states: We spiritually conform to the nature of whatever we worship. In the words of biblical scholar G.K. Beale, "What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration." When we give our ultimate devotion, trust, and obedience to something, we begin to mirror its characteristics. If we worship a dead, mute, and blind idol—whether a physical statue or a man-made theological tradition—we spiritually inherit its sensory shutdown. Conversely, if we worship the living, speaking Creator, we are restored to reflect His image. 1. The Divine Design: Created to Mirror the Creator To understand why false worship has such a devastating, blinding effect on human beings, we have to look back at our original blueprint. In Genesis, humanity was created with a specific structural purpose: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." — Genesis 1:27 Humans were designed to be spiritual mirrors placed in the creation. Just as a physical mirror has no light of its own but is designed to perfectly reflect the sun, humanity was designed to face the Creator and reflect His character, holiness, light, and instruction ($Torah$) into the physical world. Worship is the act of pointing our "mirror" toward an object. Whatever sits at the center of our devotion is the exact image our souls will reflect. 2. The Golden Calf: The First Major Replication (Exodus 32) The mirroring principle is vividly demonstrated during Israel's infamous golden calf incident in the wilderness. When Moses delayed coming down from Mount Sinai, the people grew impatient and demanded a physical god they could see and control. They fashioned a golden calf out of their jewelry: "And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel. .." — Exodus 32:4 Immediately after they bowed down and sacrificed to this golden calf, God changed the vocabulary He used to describe Israel. He said to Moses: "Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves... I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people." — Exodus 32:7, 9 The Hebrew term for "stiff-necked" ($qasheh$ $oreph$) is agricultural vocabulary used to describe an obstinate, stubborn bull or heifer that refuses to bow its neck to the yoke of its master. By choosing to revere a young, stubborn bull (the calf) rather than the living God, Israel instantly began to resemble the physical characteristics of their idol. They became spiritually "stiff-necked"—unbending, stubborn, and completely unresponsive to the voice of their Master. 3. The Sensory Shutdown: Psalm 115 and 135 The Psalms lay down the explicit mechanical law of how this spiritual replication operates. They describe the physical nature of man-made idols: “They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.” — Psalm 115:5-7 Then comes the cosmic spiritual warning in verse 8: “They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.” — Psalm 115:8 This is not poetry; it is a spiritual diagnosis. Trusting in a powerless, inanimate representation of godhood causes a complete sensory shutdown in the worshiper: Mouths that speak not: The worshiper loses the ability to speak pure, uncompromised biblical truth. Eyes that see not: The worshiper can look directly at a clear commandment in Scripture (like the Sabbath or dietary laws) and be utterly unable to see or register it. Ears that hear not: The worshiper can hear the voice of the Creator calling them back to His instructions, but they are spiritually deaf to the call. 4. The Prophets' Diagnosis of Israel When Israel later fell into rebellion and rejected the Torah, God did not diagnose them as merely "uneducated." He diagnosed them as idol-mirrors. They had successfully taken on the traits of the blind and deaf Canaanite gods they trusted in: Isaiah 6:9-10: God commissions Isaiah to speak to a people who have spiritually conformed to idols: “Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart...” Jeremiah 5:21: “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not...” Ezekiel 12:2: “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” By turning away from the Torah, they lost the spiritual hardware required to process spiritual truth. 5. The New Testament Reality: Tradition Over Commandments This is not an exclusively Old Testament phenomenon. Yeshua Himself confrontationaly applies this exact "idol-mirroring" diagnosis to the religious leaders of His day. When the Pharisees challenged Yeshua because His disciples did not follow the "traditions of the elders" (man-made religious rules that bypassed God's written law), Yeshua responded: “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition...” — Mark 7:6-7, 13 Later, when His disciples failed to understand a basic spiritual concept, Yeshua turned to them and asked: “Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?” — Mark 8:18 The warning is clear: Any time we substitute God’s plain, written commandments with human dogmas, church traditions, or ecclesiastical systems, we trigger the Mirroring Principle. When we place our trust in a denomination, a popular pastor, or a comfortable system of theology that explains away God's law, we begin to resemble that dead system. We lose our ability to process the direct signal of the Scriptures. Our eyes read "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" but our theological programming translates it to mean Sunday, or worse, that the Sabbath is abolished. The spiritual data is there on the page, but the "mirror" is pointing at human tradition, rendering us blind to the light of the Torah. 6. The Remedy: Restoration to His Image The Mirroring Principle is a law of spiritual gravity, but it works both for ruin or for restoration. If looking at and trusting in dead idols makes us dead, blind, and deaf, then turning our gaze to the living Messiah Yeshua and His perfect instructions has the exact opposite effect: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass [mirror] the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 3:18 When we repent of man-made traditions, take the veil off our eyes, and submit directly to the written Word of the Creator, our spiritual senses are restored. We begin to reflect His character, His holiness, and His Torah. Our eyes see, our ears hear, and we are finally able to comprehend, accept, and walk in the beautiful light of His eternal truth. The Alignment of the Mirror: How the Commandments Counteract Idolatry When looking at the 20 specific practices in the Torah Observance Self-Assessment, it is easy for a modern reader to ask: “What does eating pork, wearing tassels, or keeping a Saturday Sabbath have to do with the heavy, spiritual reality of idolatry?” To the modern Western mind, "idolatry" is a mental or emotional state (putting your career or money before God), while the "Torah commandments" are seen as external, ritualistic rules. However, in Hebrew thought, the two are dynamically and structurally connected. Every single commandment ($mitzvah$) in the Torah acts as a physical alignment tool for your spiritual "mirror." When you reject these physical instructions in favor of human traditions, you actively turn your mirror away from the Creator, pointing it toward man-made systems. This triggers the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry—leading to the spiritual sensory shutdown described in the Psalms. Here is how specific commandments are directly connected to the mirroring of idolatry. 1. The Sabbath ($Shabbat$): Mirroring the Creator’s Rhythm vs. Human Authority To understand how the Sabbath connects to the mirror, look at the signature of the Creator. In the Fourth Commandment, God binds the Sabbath directly to His identity as the Maker of all things: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” — Exodus 20:11 The Connected Mirror: When you observe the seventh-day Sabbath, you physically conform your life, your time, and your weekly rhythm to the exact pattern of the Creator. You are pointing your mirror directly at His face, reflecting His rest, His sovereignty, and His creative authority into the physical world. The Idolatrous Substitution: When mainstream ecclesiastical systems shifted the day of worship to Sunday and claimed the authority to transfer the holiness of Shabbat, they created a man-made tradition. The Mirroring Result : By resting on Sunday based on human church dogmas rather than the written Word of the Creator, a believer's mirror is pointed at a human institution. Because they revere human authority over the Creator’s written Law, they begin to resemble that system—becoming deaf to the plain text of Scripture and blind to the literal Fourth Commandment. 2. Dietary Laws ($Kashrut$): Mirroring Divine Holiness vs. Pagan Syncretism In Leviticus 11, God outlines which animals are clean and unclean. At the very climax of these dietary instructions, He reveals why He gave them: “For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy... For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” — Leviticus 11:44-45 The Connected Mirror: The word "holy" ($kadosh$) literally means set apart, separated, and distinct. God is distinct from the world. By putting a physical boundary on what enters our mouths, we mirror His holiness. We reflect His nature of distinction and order. Our daily eating habits become a physical mirror of His spiritual separation. The Idolatrous Substitution: Pagan idolatry is characterized by the breakdown of distinctions—mixing the holy with the profane, eating whatever the flesh desires, and absorbing the habits of the surrounding culture. The Mirroring Result: When the church teaches that "all things are clean to eat" (relying on misinterpretations of Mark 7 or Acts 10), they remove the boundary of distinction. By eating like the pagan nations, they begin to reflect the pagan worldview of spiritual mixture. They lose the ability to distinguish between what is clean and unclean in other areas of life, rendering them spiritually insensitive. 3. Tassels ($Tzitzit$): The Optical Shield Against Idolatry The commandment to wear fringes or tassels ($tzitzit$) on the corners of four-cornered garments is perhaps the most explicit "anti-idolatry mirror" in the entire Torah: “And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a-whoring [prostituting/worshipping idols]...” — Numbers 15:39 The Connected Mirror: The Torah acknowledges that the human eye is easily captivated by the physical world. Left to its own devices, the eye looks at the world, the heart desires what it sees, and the person conforms to that earthly image (idolatry). The $tzitzit$ serve as a physical, optical interruption. The Mirroring Result: Every time your eyes drift downward, they catch the sight of the blue thread in the tassels. This instantly redirects your focus back to the written commandments of God. It is a physical "guardrail" that forces your spiritual mirror to stay tilted upward toward the Creator rather than drifting down to copy the culture. 4. The Biblical Feasts ($Moedim$) vs. Christmas and Easter: Mirroring God’s Calendar vs. Pagan Cycles The annual Feasts (Leviticus 23) are designated as God's "appointed times." They are His prophetic schedule. Conversely, Deuteronomy 12:30-32 strictly warns: “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them... and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.” The Connected Mirror: When you keep the Passover ($Pesach$), the Feast of Weeks ($Shavuot$), or the Feast of Tabernacles ($Sukkot$), you are mirroring the literal, prophetic timeline of Yeshua's redemption plan. Your mirror is reflecting the true light of the Messiah's first and second comings. The Idolatrous Substitution: Celebrating Christmas (December 25th) or Easter (with a Friday-to-Sunday timeline) is the exact definition of syncretism—taking the customs, dates, and rituals of pagan sun-god worship and renaming them to honor the Creator. The Mirroring Result: Because pagan customs are dead and have no spiritual breath, those who participate in them eventually inherit the sensory shutdown of those original pagan systems. Even when they are shown the plain scriptural timeline of three days and three nights (Matthew 12:40), or shown that Jeremiah 10 condemns decorated trees, they cannot see or comprehend it. Their theological mirror is reflecting the "dead light" of Christianized pagan traditions, leaving them blind to the brilliant light of God’s actual holy days. Summary: The Torah as the Blueprint of the Divine Image Human beings cannot avoid mirroring. We are created to be reflective surfaces. If we do not point our mirrors toward the written Torah—which is the perfect, physical expression of the Creator’s character—we will naturally point our mirrors toward: The Self (human desires and pride). The Culture (pagan traditions and holidays). Human Religious Systems (church doctrines that bypass God's Law). Every single commandment, from how we manage our finances (usury) to how we cut our hair or dress (mixed fabrics), is designed to shape our mirrors so that we perfectly conform to the image of the Messiah Yeshua. When we obey, our spiritual senses are restored. When we substitute His instructions with human traditions, our spiritual hardware shuts down, and we become just as deaf, dumb, and blind as the powerless idols of old. Identifying Modern-Day "Mirror Idolatry": Behavioral and Theological Signs If the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry is a spiritual reality, then the "sensory shutdown" described by the prophets (Psalms 115, Jeremiah 5, Mark 8) must be visible in the modern religious world. It cannot remain an abstract theological concept; it must manifest as recognizable behaviors and patterns of thought. How do you identify a modern-day believer whose spiritual "mirror" has been turned away from the Creator’s $Torah$ and pointed toward human tradition? The scriptures provide a clear diagnostic framework. When a person is reflecting a man-made religious system rather than the living Word, they exhibit specific, identifiable spiritual symptoms. 1. The "Translational Filter" (Eyes That See Not) The most prominent identifier of modern mirror idolatry is selective scriptural blindness. The Symptom: You can open a Bible, point directly to a plain, unambiguous commandment, and have them read it out loud. Yet, their mind is completely unable to process the plain meaning of the text. How to Identify It: You show them: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the sabbath...” (Exodus 20:8-10). Their "filter" instantly translates this to mean: “Go to church on Sunday.” You show them: “These are the beasts which ye shall eat... whatsoever parteth the hoof... and cheweth the cud...” (Leviticus 11:2-3). Their filter instantly translates this to mean: “We can eat whatever we want because Jesus made all things clean.” The Spiritual Reality: The hardware of their physical eyes is working, but their theological mirror is pointed at a denominational creed. The text of Scripture hits their eyes, but the data is scrambled by their programming before it can reach their heart. They cannot see what is plainly written. 2. The Echo Chamber of Human Tradition (Mouths That Speak Not) In Psalm 115, idols are described as having mouths that cannot speak truth. In modern times, this manifests as an inability to speak pure, uncompromised biblical truth, replacing it instead with human catchphrases. The Symptom: When challenged on a matter of scripture or lifestyle, the person does not defend their position using the direct context of the Word. Instead, they regurgitate the pre-programmed talking points of their religious institution. How to Identify It: They rely heavily on clichés, theological jargon, and ecclesiastical soundbites to bypass obedience, such as: “That’s legalism.” “We are under grace, not the law.” “That was just for the Jews.” “That's a secondary issue.” The Spiritual Reality: They have lost their biblical voice. Instead of speaking the words of the Creator, their mouth has become a speaker grille for the human authorities they revere. They can only echo the soundbites of the system they mirror. 3. The "But God Knows My Heart" Defense (Deafness to Warning) When an idol-mirror is confronted with the pagan origins of their religious practices, their spiritual hearing shuts down, and they retreat into emotional self-defense. The Symptom: When you show them scriptural and historical proof that holidays like Christmas or Easter are rooted in pagan worship (contrary to Deuteronomy 12:30-32), they do not hear the warning. Instead, they redirect the conversation to their own personal intentions. How to Identify It: They will respond with statements like: “But that’s not what it means to me.” “God knows my heart, and I am doing this for Him.” “As long as we are focusing on Jesus, the details don't matter.” The Spiritual Reality: They are spiritually deaf to the warnings of the Torah. By prioritizing their internal emotional state (what it means to "me") over the external written instruction of God, they prove that their mirror is pointed inward at The Self—the ultimate form of modern idolatry. 4. The Collapse of Distinctions (No Spiritual Senses) Holiness ($kedushah$) requires the ability to distinguish, separate, and put a difference between things. When a believer’s spiritual senses are shut down, they lose the ability to make biblical distinctions. The Symptom: They cannot perceive any difference between what God has designated as "Holy" ($kadosh$) versus what man has designated as "Common" ($chol$). How to Identify It: They see no difference between Shabbat (the day God sanctified) and Sunday (the day Constantine and the Roman Church set apart). They see no difference between Passover (God’s prophetic feast) and Easter (a tradition named after a pagan goddess). They believe that because "God created everything," all foods, lifestyles, and worship methods are equally acceptable if done with "love." The Spiritual Reality: Because they worship within a system that has mixed pagan habits with biblical language, they have inherited the system's numbness. They are spiritually colorblind—unable to distinguish the bright line of God’s separation from the gray smear of religious syncretism. 5. Hostility Toward the Hebrew Roots of Faith Just as light hurts eyes that have been in the dark for too long, the true light of the Hebrew roots of the faith often provokes a defensive, agitated reaction from those in mirror idolatry. The Symptom: The mere mention of the name $Yeshua$ instead of Jesus, or the suggestion that a believer should strive to keep the commandments out of love, triggers an immediate defensive posture. How to Identify It: They will accuse those returning to the Torah of "falling from grace," being "Judaizers," or belonging to a "cult." They display a visceral discomfort with the physical signs of obedience (like $tzitzit$ or Sabbath rest). The Spiritual Reality: The physical reality of the Torah acts as a polishing cloth on their mirror. It threatens the comfortable, dusty film of human tradition they have lived under. Because they are not ready to turn their mirror away from their ecclesiastical system, they lash out at the light that is trying to break through their sensory shutdown. Summary: A Checklist of the Modern Idol-Mirror The Prophetic Diagnosis The Modern Behavior "Eyes that see not" Reading a clear commandment on the page but being utterly unable to process its plain, literal meaning. "Ears that hear not" Hearing the warning against syncretism (pagan mixing) but dismissing it because "God knows my heart." "Mouths that speak not" Relying on theological clichés ("not under the law," "legalism") instead of quoting direct Scripture in context. "No breath/distinction" Believing that there is no difference between what is clean and unclean, or what is holy and The "Pauline Filter": How a Misaligned Mirror Distorts the Apostle’s Words If a modern believer's theological mirror has been pointed at human tradition, they must find a way to reconcile the clear, eternal commandments of the Creator with their refusal to obey them. To resolve this cognitive dissonance, they construct what can be called "The Pauline Filter." This is the practice of running the entire Bible—including the plain words of the Creator at Mount Sinai and the direct instructions of the Messiah $Yeshua$—through a highly selective, misunderstood reading of the Apostle Paul’s letters. By doing so, they use Paul as a shield to protect their traditions and justify their transgression of the $Torah$. The Apostle Peter explicitly warned that this exact phenomenon would occur: “...even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest [twist], as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked [lawless], fall from your own stedfastness.” — 2 Peter 3:15-17 How do you identify a believer who is utilizing the "Pauline Filter" to maintain their spiritual sensory shutdown? Here are the behavioral and theological signs. 1. The "Paul Over Yeshua" Hierarchy The most glaring symptom of the Pauline Filter is an unconscious theological hierarchy where Paul's words carry more practical authority than the words of the Messiah Himself. The Symptom: When confronted with the direct, plain instructions of the Messiah, the person will immediately bypass them by quoting an isolated verse from Paul to argue that the Messiah's words no longer apply. How to Identify It: You show them where $Yeshua$ said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets... whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19). Rather than accepting this, their mind immediately filters it out. They respond with: “Yes, but Paul says Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...” (Romans 10:4), interpreting "end" (telos) as "termination" rather than "goal/climax." The Spiritual Reality: Their theological mirror is pointed at a denominational construct that pits the Messiah against His own Apostle. Because they cannot process the reality that Paul was a Torah-observant Pharisee who defended the Law (Acts 25:8), they must make Paul the "new lawgiver" to justify ignoring the words of the Master. 2. The "Grace vs. Law" Dichotomy (The Divided Mind) Holiness ($kedushah$) requires unity and alignment. The Pauline Filter causes a severe mental split, forcing the believer to treat God's Grace and God's Law as opposing enemies rather than perfect partners. The Symptom: They operate under the assumption that if you love God’s commandments and seek to walk in them out of obedience, you are actively rejecting His grace. How to Identify It: Whenever you talk about keeping the Sabbath or clean eating, they will defensively respond with: “We are saved by grace, not by works!” (Ephesians 2:8-9). They are completely unable to comprehend that keeping the commandments is the fruit of salvation, not the root of it. They cannot reconcile Ephesians 2:8-9 with Ephesians 2:10 (“created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”). The Spiritual Reality: They are spiritually colorblind to the purpose of the $Torah$. Because their ecclesiastical system teaches that the Law was a "burden" or a "curse" (misunderstanding Galatians 3:13), they view obedience as a threat to their faith. Their mirror reflects a cheapened grace that requires no physical surrender. 3. The "Colossians 2" Dismissal When confronted with the beautiful, prophetic reality of the Biblical Feasts ($Moedim$), those who use the Pauline Filter will instinctively retreat to a single, highly misunderstood passage in Colossians to shut down their hearing. The Symptom: They use Paul's warnings against pagan, ascetic philosophy in Colossae as a license to abandon God's designated Appointed Times. How to Identify It: You discuss the beauty of keeping Passover or Tabernacles ($Sukkot$). They will immediately quote Colossians 2:16: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days...” They stop reading there, believing Paul is saying these days are abolished. They are blind to the very next verse (Colossians 2:17), which states these days “are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” (The Greek literally reads: "let no man judge you... but the body of Messiah," meaning only the local body of believers should judge their observance, not pagan outsiders). The Spiritual Reality: Their mirror is tilted toward a system of lawlessness. They use Paul to justify celebrating pagan-derived holidays (like Christmas) while simultaneously using Paul to condemn those who celebrate God's actual holy days. 4. Total Blindness to Paul’s Self-Defense Perhaps the most ironic sign of the Pauline Filter is a complete inability to see or register the multiple times Paul himself explicitly stated that he kept, loved, and taught the $Torah$. The Symptom: They believe and teach that Paul successfully did away with the Law, despite the overwhelming historical evidence in the book of Acts that Paul went out of his way to prove he kept the Law. How to Identify It: You point them to: Acts 21:24: Where the elders of Jerusalem had Paul perform a public vow to prove to everyone that he “walkest orderly, and keepest the law.” Acts 24:14: Where Paul states under oath: “...so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.” Romans 7:12: Where Paul writes: “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” When shown these plain verses, the user of the Pauline Filter will experience a temporary "system freeze." They will stare at the text, bypass it, and immediately jump back to an isolated verse in Galatians to restore their comfortable programming. The Spiritual Reality: This is the "translational filter" in active operation. The historical reality of a Torah-observant Paul is a direct threat to the theological foundation of the mainstream church. Therefore, the spiritual hardware of the believer must completely block these passages from reaching their heart, preserving the illusion of a law-abolishing Apostle. Summary: Restoring the Mirror of Paul The Misunderstood Paul The Restored, Torah-Observant Paul "Christ is the end of the law..." (Rom 10:4) "Christ is the goal/target of the law..." The Greek word telos means the ultimate aim or completion, not termination. "Not under the law..." (Rom 6:14) "Not under the condemnation/penalty of the law..." Because grace has paid the price, we are now free to obey it. "Let no man judge you..." (Col 2:16) "Do not let pagan outsiders judge your biblical walk..." Keep celebrating the feasts ($Moedim$) which point directly to the Messiah. "The law was our schoolmaster..." (Gal 3:24) "The Torah guarded and trained us..." Leading us to maturity so we can walk in the Spirit of obedience, not lawlessness. common. "Stiff-necked" Refusing to bend the neck to the literal, physical instructions ($mitzvot$) of the Creator. This statement directly references the biblical verse 1 John 3:8 , which states: "The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning." [1 ] Meaning of "Practicing" Sin In Christian theology, "practicing" sin does not mean committing an occasional mistake or lapse in judgment. interpret "practice" as a habitual, deliberate, and unrepentant lifestyle of wrongdoing. According to 1 John 3:4, sin is explicitly defined as the transgression of the Law (Torah). Within a strict Torah-observant framework, all 9 practices listed fail the test and are classified as scriptural transgressions. 1. The Hebrew Name: Acts 4:12, Matthew 1:21 — Replacing the native Hebrew name strips away its prophetic structural meaning: "Yahweh is Salvation." 2. Working on Sabbath: Exodus 20:8-11, Deuteronomy 5:12-15 — The Fourth Commandment explicitly forbids regular vocational labor. 3. Keeping Sabbath Holy: Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 31:16-17 — Set apart at Creation as a holy day and designated as a perpetual, everlasting covenant. 4. Commandments in General: Ecclesiastes 12:13, 1 John 3:4, Revelation 14:12 — Scripture defines the whole duty of man as keeping the commandments. 5. Unclean Foods: Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14, Isaiah 66:17 — Dietary boundaries separating clean from unclean are never repealed in prophecy or Torah. 6. Appointed Days (Moedim): Leviticus 23 — God explicitly calls these "My Feasts." They serve as prophetic dress rehearsals for His redemption plan. 7. Christmas Traditions: Deuteronomy 12:30-32, Jeremiah 10:2-4 — God strictly commands His followers not to learn or adopt the customs of pagan nations to worship Him, regardless of intent. 8. Easter Timing: Matthew 12:40 — A Friday-to-Sunday timeline fails the structural proof of the "Sign of Jonah"—which requires exactly 3 days and 3 nights. 9. Passover: Exodus 12:14, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 — Commanded as an everlasting ordinance. Paul explicitly reinforces this to New Testament believers, writing: "Let us keep the feast." Title: Torah Observance vs. Church Tradition: A Biblical Study Guide & Self-Assessment Subject: Biblical Theology and Torah Law (Hebrew Roots Perspective) Topics: The Definition of Sin (The Transgression Test) The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) vs. Sunday Tradition Dietary Instructions (Kashrut, Blood, and Fat) God's Appointed Times (Moedim & Passover) vs. Mainstream Holidays Sacred Names (Yeshua vs. Jesus) Daily Commandments (Tzitzit, Shaatnez, and Images) Grooming and Body Laws (Beards, Tattoos) Social and Financial Laws (Usury, Clothing) Summary: This study guide evaluates mainstream church traditions and modern dogmas against the perpetual commandments of the Torah.

This test uses 1 John 3:4 to define sin strictly as the transgression of God's revealed law. Key Concepts: The Transgression Test: The process of using Biblical law as the objective measure of sin (1 John 3:4). The Perpetual Covenant of Shabbat: The seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was established at Creation and remains a sign between God and His people. The Sign of Jonah: Yeshua’s Messiahship is authenticated by spending exactly three days and three nights in the earth (Matthew 12:40), contradicting a Friday-to-Sunday timeline. Syncretism Warning: Deuteronomy 12:30-32 forbids using the methods of pagan nations to worship the Creator. Holiness Distinctions: Commandment laws regarding fabrics ($Shaatnez$), tassels ($Tzitzit$), and diet ($Kashrut$) serve to separate God's people from the world. Vocabulary List: Torah: "Instruction" or "Law" (the first five books of the Bible). Mitzvot: The individual commandments given by God. Shabbat: The seventh-day Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). Moedim: The Appointed Times/Holy Feasts (Leviticus 23). Yeshua: The Hebrew name of the Messiah ("Yahweh is Salvation"). Shaatnez: A fabric containing both wool and linen woven together. Tzitzit: Fringes/Tassels worn for remembrance (Numbers 15:38). Rosh Chodesh: The New Moon / Beginning of the Biblical month. The Spirit of the Lawless One: How Rejecting Torah Mirrors the Adversary's Rebellion When studying the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry and the profound spiritual sensory shutdown that affects the mainstream church, we must eventually confront the ultimate, sobering reality behind this blindness. Scripture does not treat "eyes that cannot see" and "ears that cannot hear" as mere intellectual deficits or passive, accidental misunderstandings. At its absolute root, persistent unbelief and systematic disobedience to the Creator’s $Torah$ are driven by an active, operational spiritual force. The Bible reveals a stark cosmic truth: those who belong to the adversary, or align with his systems of rebellion, carry and mirror his very spirit. 1. The Operational Spirit of Disobedience (Ephesians 2:2) The Apostle Paul explicitly identified the existence of an invisible, active spiritual current that influences those who walk in disobedience to God’s instructions: “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience...” — Ephesians 2:2 Note Paul's precise vocabulary: "The spirit that now worketh..." The Greek word for "worketh" is energeo, meaning an active, operating energy. It is a spiritual frequency. "...in the children of disobedience." The Hebrew idiom "children of..." denotes a people who take on the exact characteristics, traits, and nature of their source. Just as the Holy Spirit ($Ruach$ $HaKodesh$) actively works inside believers to write the $Torah$ on their hearts and produce the fruit of obedience (Ezekiel 36:26-27) , the spirit of the adversary actively operates in those who reject God’s laws. They become spiritual receptors for the frequency of rebellion, mirroring the character of the "prince of the power of the air." 2. Defining the Adversary’s Character: Lawlessness ($Anomia$) To understand what it means to mirror the spirit of the devil, we must define his primary scriptural characteristics. From the beginning in the Garden of Eden, the adversary’s signature move was to challenge, twist, and undermine the literal commandments of God: “Yea, hath God said... ?” (Genesis 3:1). The Apostle John explains the spiritual lineage of those who make a practice of bypassing God’s written instructions: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law [anomia]. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin... He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.” — 1 John 3:4, 8 In Greek, the word for "transgression of the law" is $anomia$, which literally means lawlessness—specifically, living as though the $Torah$ (the Law of Moses) does not exist or has no authority over you. John makes a direct, black-and-white distinction: Those who practice righteousness (aligning with God's $Torah$) mirror the Messiah $Yeshua$. Those who practice lawlessness ($anomia$) mirror the devil, who has been a rebel from the very beginning. When the church teaches that "the Law has been done away with" or that "we do not need to keep the physical commandments," they are unknowingly operating in the spirit of $anomia$. By adopting a theology of lawlessness, they point their spiritual mirrors directly at the original rebel, taking on his spiritual nature. 3. "Ye Are of Your Father the Devil" (John 8:44) The Messiah $Yeshua$ did not shy away from this reality. When confronting the religious leaders of His day—who claimed to worship the God of Abraham but actively rejected the living Word and substituted God’s commandments with human, traditional loop-holes—He diagnosed them with this exact spiritual replication: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44 How do we identify someone operating under this parental spiritual influence? They cannot abide in the truth: When shown the plain, unadulterated written Word of God, they experience immediate cognitive discomfort and seek to explain it away. They prefer traditional lies: They willingly defend man-made dogmas (like Sunday sacredness or pagan-derived holidays) over the literal commandments of the Creator. They harbor hostility toward obedience: Just as the devil hates those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of $Yeshua$ (Revelation 12:17), those carrying his spirit will exhibit anger, mockery, or defensive hostility toward Torah-observant believers. 4. The Prophetic Blueprint: Changing Times and Laws The spirit of the lawless one has a specific prophetic agenda. The prophet Daniel foresaw that a power would arise in the earth that would attempt to copy the adversary's ultimate desire—to completely sever humanity from the Creator’s covenant boundaries: “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws...” — Daniel 7:25 The "times" here are the $Moedim$ (God's appointed calendar, Sabbaths, and feasts), and the "laws" are the $Torah$. When modern ecclesiastical systems changed the Sabbath to Sunday, replaced the Biblical Feasts with paganized holidays, and declared the food laws obsolete, they executed the exact agenda of the lawless one. Because churchgoers belong to and revere these traditional systems, they drink in the spirit that built them. They are not merely "uninformed"; they are influenced by a highly calculated, multi-generational spiritual current of $anomia$. This is why they cannot understand, comprehend, or accept the simple, beautiful instructions of the Father—their spiritual hardware is tuned to the frequency of the lawless one. Conclusion: A Battle of Spirits The scriptures leave us with no middle ground. We are spiritual mirrors, and we will inevitably reflect one of two spirits: The Spirit of God ($Ruach$ $HaKodesh$) The Spirit of the Lawless One ( $anomia$) Points the mirror toward the Creator. Points the mirror toward human systems & self. Writes the $Torah$ on the heart (Jer 31:33). Seeks to abolish or bypass the $Torah$. Leads to physical obedience and holiness. Leads to lawlessness disguised as "grace." Restores spiritual sight, hearing, and life. Triggers a complete sensory shutdown and blindness. If we want our family, friends, and churchgoers to escape this blindness, we must realize that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). Only the raw, piercing truth of God’s Word—combined with the power of the Holy Spirit—can break the hold of the lawless spirit, shatter the mirror of idolatry, and restore their eyes to see and their ears to hear. The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure, lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 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 God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good

Have you ever said this? That's your translation not mine. That’s your interpretation.This is a list of several Bible translations, including the Catholic Bible, they all say the same thing. We all are going to judgment not heaven. Hebrews 9:27 Definitions with eternal consequences. ETERNAL JUDGMENT Definities met eeuwige gevolgen. God: Jehova's naam betekent dat Hij redt en degene die hij kiest aan Zijn zoon geeft: God is geen mens, dus liegt hij niet. Hij is geen mens, dus hij verandert niet van gedachten. Heeft hij ooit gesproken en niet gehandeld? Heeft hij het ooit beloofd en niet uitgevoerd? Numeri 23:19 De Messias, Yeshua: Zijn naam betekent Redding, Hij is de enige weg naar de Vader. wie zegt dat hij in Hem blijft, behoort te wandelen op dezelfde weg waarop Hij wandelde. Degenen die zeggen dat ze in God leven, moeten hun leven leiden zoals Yeshua deed. Hij hield zich aan de voedselwetten, de sabbat, Gods feestdagen en al Gods geboden en inzettingen 1 Johannes 2:6 antisemitisch: Vijandig of bevooroordeeld tegen Joden. Yeshua is een Jood. Dus als je zegt dat dat Joods is, of dat het alleen voor de Joden is, ben je antisemitisch voor hetzelfde ras als Yeshua. Iemand een Jood noemen is hetzelfde. En hij heeft ons dit gebod gegeven: wie God liefheeft, moet ook zijn medegelovigen liefhebben. 1 Johannes 4:21 afgodendienaar: een persoon die intens en vaak blindelings iemand bewondert die gewoonlijk geen onderwerp van aanbidding is. Afgoderij is de aanbidding van een afgod of cultusbeeld, zijnde een fysiek beeld, zoals een standbeeld. Het geweld tegen afgodendienaars en afgoderij van traditionele religieuze praktijken van Afrika begon in de middeleeuwen en ging door tot in de moderne tijd. Opnieuw geboren: Yeshua antwoordde hem, "Voorwaar, voorwaar, ik zeg u, tenzij iemand opnieuw geboren wordt, kan hij het koninkrijk van God niet zien. “Johannes 3:3 Zij die in Gods gezin geboren zijn, maken er geen gewoonte van om te zondigen, omdat Gods leven in hen is. Ze kunnen dus niet blijven zondigen, omdat ze kinderen van God zijn. 1Johannes 3 Dopen: Handelingen 2:38 zegt: "Petrus antwoordde:" Bekeer u en laat u dopen, een ieder van u, in de naam van Yeshua Messias voor de vergeving van uw zonden. En je zult de gave van de Heilige Geest ontvangen.” Deze tekst moedigt ons aan dat wanneer we ons laten dopen, we de gave van de Heilige Geest ontvangen en dat Hij een deel van ons wordt. Vleselijke geest Want de denkwijze op het vlees is de dood, maar de denkwijze op de Geest is leven en vrede, omdat de denkwijze op het vlees vijandig staat tegenover God; want het onderwerpt zich niet aan de wet van God, want het kan dat zelfs niet, Romeinen 8:6-7 Romeinen 1:28 een verdorven geest, om die dingen te doen die niet juist zijn, Romeinen 8:7 omdat de denkwijze van het vlees vijandig staat tegenover God; want het onderwerpt zich niet aan de wet van God, want het kan dat niet eens, Efeziërs 4:17 Dit zeg ik dus en bevestig het samen met de Heer, dat u wandelt niet langer zoals de heidenen ook wandelen, in de nutteloosheid van hun geest, Kolossenzen 1:21 En hoewel u voorheen vervreemd en vijandig van geest was, bezig met slechte daden, Kolossenzen 2:18 Laat niemand u uw prijs blijven bedriegen door Zich verheugend in zelfvernedering en de aanbidding van de engelen, zijn standpunt innemend op visioenen die hij heeft gezien, zonder reden opgeblazen door zijn vleselijke geest, Titus 1:15 Voor de reinen zijn alle dingen rein; maar voor hen die verontreinigd en ongelovig zijn, is niets zuiver, maar zowel hun geest als hun geweten zijn verontreinigd. Kinderen van de duivel: Maar als mensen blijven zondigen, laat dat zien dat ze van de duivel zijn, die al vanaf het begin zondigt. Dus nu kunnen we zeggen wie kinderen van God zijn en wie de kinderen van de duivel zijn. Iedereen die niet rechtschapen leeft en andere gelovigen niet liefheeft, behoort God niet toe 1 Johannes 3:10 Christen: En we kunnen er zeker van zijn dat we hem kennen als we zijn geboden gehoorzamen. 4Als iemand beweert: "Ik ken God", maar Gods geboden niet gehoorzaamt, dan is die persoon een leugenaar en leeft hij niet in de waarheid. 5 Maar degenen die Gods woorden gehoorzamen, laten echt zien hoe volkomen ze van hem houden. Zo weten we dat we in hem leven. 6Zij die zeggen dat ze in God leven, moeten hun leven leiden zoals Yeshua deed. 1 Johannes 2:3 Hij hield zich aan de voedselwetten van Leviticus, de zaterdagse sabbat, Gods feestdagen en alle geboden. Waarom bewaren we dan niet? Het verbond: dat God op de berg Sinaï gaf, versterkte het verbond dat God met Abraham had gesloten en vertelde Israël wat zij zouden moeten doen als hun kant van het verbond. God beloofde opnieuw bij de Joden te blijven en hen nooit in de steek te laten, omdat zij zijn uitverkoren volk waren. Het volk verbrak het verbond door een gouden kalf te bouwen om God te aanbidden. Plicht: Nu is alles gehoord; hier is de conclusie van de zaak: vrees God en onderhoud zijn geboden, want dit is de plicht van de hele mensheid. Prediker 12: 13 Volhard tot het einde : Maar degene die volhardt tot het einde, zal worden gered. Mattheüs 24:13 Valse profeten Een valse profeet, volgens de bijbelse definitie, leidt mensen weg van de geboden van de God van Israël. Dat zou betekenen dat een ware profeet, volgens bijbelse definitie, de geboden van de God van Israël bevestigt. Dus als het erom gaat te bepalen of iemand een echte profeet is, moeten we ons de volgende vraag stellen: bevestigt hun boodschap Gods geboden of ontkent ze deze? Geloof "Nu is geloof de vaste grond van de dingen waarop wordt gehoopt, het bewijs van de dingen die niet worden gezien", Hebreeën 11: 1. Vertrouwen is de verbindende kracht in het spirituele rijk, die ons met God verbindt en ervoor zorgt dat Hij een tastbare werkelijkheid wordt voor de zintuiglijke waarnemingen van een persoon. Geloof is het basisingrediënt om een relatie met God aan te gaan. De eerste dag van de week de apostelen kwamen samen op de eerste dag van de week, wat voor velen impliceert dat de sabbat nu op de eerste dag van de week valt. dag, laten we eens kijken naar het Griekse vers, waar vers 7 zegt "de eerste dag van de week". Het Grieks zegt eigenlijk... Mia ton sabaton Het Griekse woord mia betekent "één", niet "eerste" ... het is het Griekse woord 'Protos' wat "eerste" betekent, wat is niet aanwezig in de tekst .. we kunnen het niet iets laten zeggen dat het niet doet ... Het vertaalt zich eigenlijk als "een van de sabbatten", meervoud, niet "eerste dag van de week". Enkelvoud.". Dit is een enorme vertaalfout die door de jaren heen openlijk als waarheid is aanvaard. De moderne kerk erkent dat de opstandingsdag van Yeshua op zondag valt. Laten we eens kijken op welke dag Yeshua werd opgewekt. Zie schema's achterin het boek. Dom: De dwazen zijn degenen die ongehoorzaam zijn. Dwazen hebben een hekel aan instructie; (Torah betekent 'instructie', aangezien het betrekking heeft op het Woord van God). Spreuken 1:7 De vreze des HEREN (JHWH) is het begin van kennis; dwazen verachten wijsheid en instructie. Spreuken 10:8 De wijze van hart zal geboden ontvangen, maar een brabbelende dwaas zal te gronde gaan. Mattheüs 7:26 En iedereen die deze woorden van mij hoort en ze niet doet, zal zijn als een dwaze man die zijn huis op het zand bouwde. Samenkomen/ Opname: Zie Yeshua spreekt over de toekomst. Mattheüs 24.2, Thessalonicenzen 2:1, 1 Korintiërs 15:51-58 Elegantie Het woord 'genade' betekent letterlijk 'gunst'. In het Hebreeuws is het CHEN van een stamwoord CHANAN - buigen of bukken in vriendelijkheid voor een ander als een superieur aan een inferieur. Graf "de Oudtestamentische term Sheol wordt vertaald als "Hel" Wees hier niet verbaasd over, want er komt een tijd dat allen die in hun graf zijn zijn stem zullen horen Johannes 5:28 Evangelie : Maar hij antwoordde: "Ik moet het goede nieuws van het koninkrijk van God ook in andere steden prediken, want daarvoor ben ik gezonden." Lukas 4:43 geënt op Israël: 11 Vergeet niet dat jullie, heidenen, vroeger buitenstaanders waren. Je werd gebeld "onbesneden heidenen" door de Joden, die trots waren op hun besnijdenis, ook al had het alleen betrekking op hun lichaam en niet op hun hart. In die dagen leefde je gescheiden van Christus. U werd uitgesloten van burgerschap onder het volk van Israël en u kende de verbondsbeloften niet die God hen had gedaan. Je leefde in deze wereld zonder God en zonder hoop. Maar nu ben je verenigd met Christus Yeshua. Eens was u ver van God verwijderd, maar nu bent u dicht bij Hem gebracht door het bloed van Christus. Dus nu zijn jullie heidenen geen vreemdelingen en bijwoners meer. Jullie zijn burgers samen met al Gods heilige volk. Jullie zijn leden van Gods gezin. Efeziërs 2 Hebreeuws: Het woord "Hebreeuws" in de Hebreeuwse taal is עברי (Ivrie). De stamletters worden gebruikt om oversteken of passeren aan te duiden. Jood: Het woord "Jood" is een verkorte vorm van het oud-Engelse woord "Judean", verwijzend naar de afstammelingen van de patriarch Judah, een van de twaalf stamvaders van de stammen van Israël. Nieuwtestamentische genealogieën, zowel Yeshua' moeder Maria als Zijn stiefvader Jozef worden vermeld als afstammelingen van Juda, via de lijn van David. Nee, een man is een Jood omdat hij dat innerlijk is, en besnijdenis is een zaak van het hart, door de Geest, niet door de geschreven code. De lof van zo iemand komt niet van mensen, maar van God. Romeinen 2:28 Er is geen Jood of Griek, er is geen slaaf of vrije, er is geen man of vrouw; want jullie zijn allemaal één in Christus Yeshua. Galaten 3:28 En zo zal heel Israël worden gered. Zoals de Schrift zegt: "Degene die redt, zal uit Jeruzalem komen en hij zal Israël van de goddeloosheid afkeren. Oordeel: En net zoals elke persoon voorbestemd is om een keer te sterven en daarna komt het oordeel, Hebreeën 9:27 De rechterstoel van Christus Want wij moeten allemaal voor de rechterstoel van Christus verschijnen, opdat een ieder voor zijn daden in het lichaam wordt beloond, naar gelang wat hij heeft gedaan, hetzij goed of slecht. 2 Korintiërs 5:10 Gerechtvaardigd: Want niet de hoorders van de wet zijn rechtvaardig voor God, maar de daders van de wet zullen gerechtvaardigd worden. Romeinen 213 Lamp : Dit is het gebod. Spreuken 6:23 Want het gebod is een lamp en de leer een licht, en de bestraffingen van tucht zijn de levenswijze, LICHT: HET LICHT IS DE WET, DE TORAH. Spreuken 6:23 Want het gebod is een lamp en de leer een licht, en de bestraffingen van tucht zijn de weg ten leven, 613 Wetten: in de Bijbel , sommige zijn voor mannen, sommige zijn voor vrouwen, sommige zijn voor kinderen, sommige zijn voor priesters en sommige zijn voor de tempel. Inderdaad, deze bevelen die ik je vandaag geef, zijn niet verwarrend of onbereikbaar voor jou. Deuteronomium 30:11 Dit is het boek van Gods wet. Bewaar het naast de heilige kist die de overeenkomst bevat HEER, uw God, maakte met Israël. Dit boek is het bewijs dat je weet wat de HEER wil dat je doet. Deuteronomium 31:36. Je moet Gods geboden beter gehoorzamen dan de farizeeën en de wetgeleerden ze gehoorzamen. Als je dat niet doet, beloof ik je dat je nooit in het koninkrijk van God zult komen. Mattheüs 5:20, Mattheüs 5:17-49, Jeremia 31:33 Oil: Is het verlangen naar gehoorzaamheid. Onthoud voordat u dit gebod leest, dat de lamp "het gebod" is en het licht "de wet". Leviticus 24:2 "Beveel het volk van Israël om u zuivere olie van gestoten olijven voor de lamp te brengen, zodat er regelmatig een licht mag blijven branden -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Paulus: Als je citeert, Paul zei dit, of Paul zei dat, onthoud dan tegen wie hij praat en waarover, over wie hij praat. Als hij het over de wet heeft, is het of de mondelinge wet van de Farizeeën of de vloek van de wet van zonde en dood of de handgeschreven verordeningen die tegen ons worden gehouden.Er zijn 46 geschriften waarin staat dat hij zich aan alle wetten en statuten van God hield. Wees gewaarschuwd dat er eeuwige gevolgen zijn in wat je gelooft en naleeft. Jij en je familie zijn bedrogen. Paulus zei: Volg mij na zoals Christus navolg, zie pagina's 69-72 in het boek zonder redelijke twijfel. Gebed Als iemand zich doof houdt voor mijn instructies, zijn zelfs hun gebeden verfoeilijk. God kan de gebeden niet verdragen van iemand die zijn Wet niet gehoorzaamt. Spreuken 28:9 Visie van Peter: Hij zag de hemel opengaan en zoiets als een groot laken dat aan de vier hoeken op de aarde werd neergelaten. 12 Er zaten allerlei viervoetige dieren in, maar ook reptielen en vogels. 13 Toen zei een stem tegen hem: "Sta op, Petrus. Dood en eet.” "Zeker niet, Heer!" antwoordde Petrus. “Ik heb nog nooit iets onreins of onreins gegeten. De stem sprak een tweede keer tot hem: “Noem niets onrein dat God rein heeft gemaakt.16 Dit gebeurde drie keer en onmiddellijk werd het laken weer naar de hemel gebracht. (Honderden jaren lang hebben christenen Petrus' visioen geïnterpreteerd als Gods toestemming om elk dier te doden en op te eten, wat het niet is. Het is een visioen om Petrus te laten weten dat hij en andere joods-christenen de huizen van de heidenen mochten binnengaan om breng hen het Goede Nieuws van Yeshua messias) Bekering is een voorwaarde voor geloof. Wat is bekering? De basisbetekenis is 'veranderen' of 'omkeren'. Als iemand eenmaal het evangelie hoort en ervan overtuigd is dat zijn manier van leven verkeerd is, moet hij zijn gedrag veranderen en terugkeren naar de Thora. De actie van berouw; oprechte spijt of wroeging. "elke persoon die zich in oprecht berouw en geloof tot God wendt, zal worden gered" wroeging, berouw, berouw, boetvaardigheid, verdriet, treurigheid, spijt, berouw, wroeging, gewetenswroeging, gewetensprikkeling, schaamte, schuldgevoel, zelfverwijt, zelfveroordeling, wroeging; Want het is onmogelijk om degenen die eens verlicht waren, die de hemelse gave hebben geproefd, die hebben gedeeld in de Heilige Geest, tot bekering te hernieuwen, Hebreeën 6:4. Wat met hen is gebeurd, toont aan dat de spreekwoorden waar zijn: heeft overgegeven' en 'Een gewassen varken rolt weer in de modder'. 2 Petrus: 22 God zag de onwetendheid van mensen over deze dingen in vroeger tijden over het hoofd, maar nu beveelt hij iedereen overal om zich te bekeren van hun zonden en zich tot Hem en Zijn Thora te wenden. Handelingen 17:30 Gerechtigheid: Lieve kinderen, laat u door niemand misleiden: als mensen doen wat goed is, laat dat zien dat ze rechtvaardig zijn, net zoals Christus rechtvaardig is. 1 Johannes 3:7 Ik ben gekomen om niet degenen te roepen die denken dat ze rechtvaardig zijn , maar degenen die weten dat ze zondaars zijn en zich moeten bekeren. “Lucas 5:32 De opstanding van de Messias Want zoals Jona drie dagen en drie nachten in de buik van de grote vis was, zo zal de Mensenzoon drie dagen en drie nachten in het hart van de aarde zijn. Mattheüs 12:40 (Goede Vrijdag tot Paaszondag is niet 72 uur, 3 dagen en drie nachten) Hij werd opgewekt op de sabbat. -136bad5cf58d_ Verrijzenis: Want de Heer zelf zal uit de hemel neerdalen met een bevelende kreet, (de laatste trompet) met de stem van de aartsengel en met het trompetgeschal van God. Eerst zullen de gelovigen die gestorven zijn opstaan uit hun graven. Dan zullen wij, die nog in leven zijn en op de aarde blijven, samen met hen in de wolken worden opgenomen om de Heer in de lucht te ontmoeten. Dan zullen we voor altijd bij de Heer zijn. 1 Tessalonicenzen 4:17 Zonde: Iedereen die zondigt, overtreedt Gods wet, want alle zonde is in strijd met de wet van God. bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ 1 Johannes 3:4 Redding: "Als je het leven wilt binnengaan, onderhoud dan de geboden" Mattheüs 19:16 De woorden van Petrus doorboorden hun hart en ze zeiden tegen hem en de andere apostelen: 'Broeders, wat moeten we doen? Petrus antwoordde: “Ieder van u moet zich bekeren van uw zonden en zich tot God wenden en gedoopt worden in de naam van Yeshua Messias voor de vergeving van uw zonden. Dan ontvang je de gave van de Heilige Geest. Handelingen 2:37 elke persoon die zich tot God wendt in oprecht berouw en geloof zal worden gered" Sabbat Geen enkele andere dag is ooit geheiligd als rustdag. De sabbatdag begint op vrijdag bij zonsondergang en eindigt op zaterdag bij zonsondergang. Genesis 2:1-3; Er is geen plaats in de hele bijbel waar u verzen zult vinden die de sabbat in de zondag veranderen. Waarom stoort het u niet als u op een andere dag aanbidt dan de dag die God heilig heeft gemaakt? Exodus 20:8- 11; Jesaja 58:13-14; 56:1-8; Handelingen 17:2; Handelingen 18:4, 11; Lukas 4:16; Markeer 2:27-28; Mattheüs 12:10-12; Hebreeën 4:1-11; Genesis 1:5, 13-14; Nehemia 13:19. De Heer zei tegen Mozes: 13 U moet zelf tot de Israëlieten spreken: "U zult Mijn sabbatten houden, want dit is een teken tussen Mij en u door uw generaties heen, gegeven opdat u weet dat Ik, de Heer, u heilig. 14 U zult de sabbat houden, want die is heilig voor u; iedereen die het ontheiligt, zal ter dood worden gebracht; Gen 2:1-3, Lev 23:3, Num 28:9-10, Exo 20:8-11, Dt 5:12-15 Een bijeenroepingsdag. Geen werk te doen. Het 4e van de Tien Geboden, dit is de enige oproepingsdag die meer dan eens per jaar voorkomt. Het was niet een dag die zijn oorsprong vond bij de Joden en de Tien Geboden op de Sinaï, het ging eraan vooraf. De zevende dag (wekelijkse) sabbat is de sabbat van de Heer (Lev 23:3), een gedenkteken voor de schepping en de Schepper gevestigd in Eden vóór de val (Gen 2:1-3). Omdat het begon bij de schepping. Geest Romeinen 8:6-7 Want de mentaliteit van het vlees is de dood, maar de mentaliteit van de Geest is leven en vrede, omdat de mentaliteit van het vlees vijandig staat tegenover God; want het onderwerpt zich niet aan de wet van God, want het kan dat zelfs niet. Als u dan, hoewel u slecht bent, weet hoe u goede gaven aan uw kinderen moet geven, hoeveel te meer zal uw Vader in de hemel geven de Heilige Geest aan degenen die hem erom vragen! Lukas 11:13 En hoop maakt ons niet beschaamd, en deze hoop zal niet tot teleurstelling leiden. Want we weten hoeveel God van ons houdt omdat hij ons de Heilige Geest heeft gegeven om ons hart te vullen met zijn liefde. Marcus 13:11 Wij zijn getuigen van deze dingen, evenals de Heilige Geest, die God heeft gegeven aan hen die hem gehoorzamen. .Galaten 3:14 opdat in Christus Yeshua de zegen van Abraham tot de heidenen zou komen, zodat wij door het geloof de belofte van de Geest zouden ontvangen. Drie dagen en drie nachten: Want zoals Jona drie dagen en drie nachten in de buik van de grote vis was, zo zal de Mensenzoon drie dagen en drie nachten in het hart van de aarde zijn. Mattheüs 12:40 (72 uur) De grote opdracht: Mattheüs 28:...18 Toen kwam Jesjoea naar hen toe en zei: "Mij is gegeven alle macht in de hemel en op aarde. 19Ga daarom op weg en maak alle volken tot mijn leerlingen,hen dopen in de naam van Yeshua Messiah (de Vader, en van de Zoon, en van de Heilige) Geest, 20en leer hun te gehoorzamen aan alles wat Ik u bevolen heb. En ik ben zeker altijd bij je, tot het einde van het tijdperk. 1Terwijl Apollos in Korinthe was, reisde Paulus door het binnenland tot hij Efeze bereikte, aan de kust, waar hij verschillende gelovigen aantrof. A 2 "Hebt u de Heilige Geest ontvangen toen u geloofde?" vroeg hij hen. "Nee", antwoordden ze, "we hebben niet eens gehoord dat er een Heilige Geest is."3 "Welke doop heb je dan ervaren?" hij vroeg. En zij antwoordden: "De doop van Johannes."4 Paulus zei: "De doop van Johannes vroeg om bekering van zonde. Maar Johannes zelf zei tegen de mensen dat ze moesten geloven in degene die later zou komen, hij bedoelde Jesjoea.” 5Zodra ze dit hoorden, werden ze gedoopt in de naam van Yeshua Messias. Toen Paulus hun de handen oplegde, kwam de Heilige Geest op hen, en ze spraken in andere tongen en profeteerden. 7In totaal waren er ongeveer twaalf mannen. De verloren stam van Israël: Toen zei Yeshua tegen de vrouw: 'Ik ben alleen gestuurd om Gods verloren schapen te helpen - het volk van Israël. “Matteüs 15:24 (pagina 27) Thora: Het woord "Torah" in het Hebreeuws is afgeleid van de stam ירה, wat in de hif'il-vervoeging 'leiden' of 'onderwijzen' betekent (vgl. Lev 10:11). De betekenis van het woord is daarom "onderricht", "doctrine" of "instructie"; de algemeen aanvaarde "wet" wekt een verkeerde indruk. Spreuken 30:6 Voeg niets toe aan Zijn woorden, anders zal Hij u terechtwijzen, en u zult een leugenaar blijken te zijn.

Witte Troon Oordeel eeuwige dood de poel van vuur. En ik zag een grote witte troon, en Hem die erop zat, van wiens gezicht de aarde en de hemel vluchtten; en er werd geen plaats voor hen gevonden. 12 En ik zag de doden, klein en groot, voor God staan; en de boeken werden geopend; en een ander boek werd geopend, dat is het boek des levens; en de doden werden geoordeeld op basis van hetgeen in de boeken geschreven stond, naar hun werken. Openbaring 20:11 Aanbidden? Aanbidding is een op waarheid gebaseerde, spirituele relatie met God die reageert op Gods grootheid door dagelijks aan zichzelf te sterven, Zijn waarheden te internaliseren en geloofsvolle daden in Christus te beoefenen. Romeinen 12:1-2 “Daarom doe ik een beroep op u, broeders, door de barmhartigheid van God, om uw lichaam te presenteren als een levend offer, heilig en aanvaardbaar voor God, wat uw geestelijke aanbidding is. Wordt niet gelijkvormig aan deze wereld, maar wordt getransformeerd door de vernieuwing van uw geest, opdat u door te testen kunt onderscheiden wat de wil van God is, wat goed en acceptabel en perfect is.”_cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ 1 Korintiërs 10:32 “wat je ook doet, doe het tot eer van God.“De meeste mensen denken dat de Thora (de wet) dood is?

Toevoegingen door Alexander Light, HumansAreFree.com; Pasen is een jaarlijks feest dat in de hele christelijke wereld wordt gevierd. Er zijn absoluut geen verzen in de Bijbel die het houden van een paasfeest goedkeuren of onderschrijven. Verder zegt de Bijbel niets over de gewoonte om vasten te vieren, paaseieren te verven, paaseieren te zoeken, manden met snoep, mutsen enz. Pasen staat al lang bekend als een heidens feest. De oprichters van Amerika wisten dit.

"Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made. But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped." The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights . The bottom line is among both clergy and laity was indifference toward their acknowledged lack of evaluation" Barrna Heading 6 The Day "Christianity" Overtook Christianity (Constantine vs. Passover) To help others understand this perspective, it is often most effective to move away from modern traditions and point directly to the Biblical standard for worship. When people argue that "Easter is for Jesus," the response from this viewpoint is typically that the motive doesn't sanctify the method. Here are the four primary pillars used to explain why this holiday is seen as problematic from a strictly Biblical standpoint: 1. The Command Against "Syncretism" The most direct Biblical argument is that God explicitly forbids mixing His worship with the customs of other gods. Deuteronomy 12:30-31: God tells Israel not to ask, "How did these nations serve their gods? I will also do likewise." He says, "You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way." The Point: Even if someone intends to honor the Resurrection, using symbols originally tied to fertility deities (like eggs and rabbits) is seen as "incorporating the abominable" into the holy. 2. The Origin of the Name While most languages use a version of the word Pascha (Passover), the English name "Easter" has no Biblical root. The History: It is widely accepted (even by the 8th-century monk Bede) that the name derives from Eostre (or Ostara), a Germanic goddess of spring and fertility. The Argument: If God's name is to be hallowed and kept pure, using the name of a pagan deity to title the most important event in history (the Resurrection) is viewed as a form of spiritual "compromise." 3. "The Way of the Heathen" Jeremiah 10:2 says, "Do not learn the way of the Gentiles." This perspective argues that "Easter" as we know it is a man-made tradition that replaced the God-ordained Passover. Passover vs. Easter: Jesus is our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). The early church kept the Passover, not a "spring festival." The Argument: By shifting the focus to "Easter Sunday" (a date determined by the equinox rather than the Biblical calendar), the specific timing and meaning God established for the Messiah's sacrifice is obscured. 4. The "Golden Calf" Principle In Exodus 32, the Israelites built a golden calf and called it a "feast to the Lord." * The Result: Even though they claimed they were worshiping the true God, He was furious because they were using a pagan image to represent Him. The Lesson: This suggests that God is not honored when we choose our own "traditions" of worship, especially those borrowed from cultures He told His people to remain separate from.

Romeans 11:25 De drie grootste levensvragen 1. Waar kom ik vandaan? Het antwoord staat in Genesis 1.1 God schiep alles 2. Waarom ben ik hier? Dat staat in Genesis 15:6 en Prediker 12:1Je bent hier om je lot te bepalen, vrees God en onderhoud Zijn geboden, want dit is de plicht van de hele mensheid. Want God zal over elk geheim oordelen, of het nu goed of kwaad is Hebreeën 9:27 3. Waar ga ik heen? dat staat in Genesis 25:8Je levenslijn bepaalt of je de eeuwigheid zult doorbrengen met God in het nieuwe Jeruzalem op aarde of dat je het in de poel des vuurs zult doorbrengen. Huilen en tandengeknars naar keuze. De vrees voor God is uiterst ... 12 En hierbij, mijn zoon, wees verder gewaarschuwd: er komt geen einde aan het maken van veel boeken, en veel studie vermoeit het lichaam.13Wanneer alle is gehoord, de conclusie waar het om gaat is dit: Angst God En houden Zijn geboden, omdat dit is de hele plicht van man. 14Want God zal elke daad in het gericht doen komen, samen met al het verborgene, hetzij goed of kwaad. Prediker 12:13 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9 7 Psalm 101:7 No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes. 7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. [f ] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” Chist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure , lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true ; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 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 The phrase "salvation is by grace through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast" comes from the Bible (Ephesians 2:8-9) and emphasizes that salvation is a free gift from God received by faith, not earned through good deeds. While works are not the source of salvation, they are a natural and evidence of a genuine, transformed life that results from receiving God's grace through faith. Every verse requires Obedience Every command is an act of obedience refusal is a deliberate act of defiance We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Must Live Whoever claims to live in him must live as Yeshua did.1 John 2:6 Must Do But don't just listen to God's word.

The full passage, Exodus 20:8-11, explains that six days are for labor, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, a day to do no work to honor the creation and God's rest. Works Ephesians 2:10, which states, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" Food laws Leviticus Chapter 11. This chapter details God's instructions to Moses and Aaron regarding which land animals, water animals, birds, and flying insects the Israelites were permitted to eat and which were considered detestable. Born again Yeshua Messiah replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3: Gods appointed days Leviticus 23:1-4, which describes the Lord's appointed feasts (also known as God's holy days) that the Israelites were to proclaim as sacred assemblies at their appointed times. This chapter details the Sabbath and other festivals like the Passover and Festival of Unleavened Bread. Worship God in Spirit and truth John 4:24, where Jesus states, "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth". This passage emphasizes that genuine worship comes from a transformed inner being (the "spirit"), empowered by the Holy Spirit and unhindered by physical location, and aligns with the revealed truth of God's word and character, Endures to the end Matthew 24:13 in the Bible states, "but the one who endures to the end will be saved" Grafted into Israel – Ephesians 2:12–13 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Confess Matthew 10:32 is Jesus's command that "everyone who confesses me before men, I also will confess before my Father who is in heaven" Calls on the name Romans 10:13-15 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

God didn’t promise us that we are going to heaven, there is not a single verse in the bible describing “going to heaven”. He said,John 3:13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. Resurection The dead in Christ will rise first Hemel of opstanding God heeft ons niet beloofd dat we naar de hemel gaan, er is geen enkel vers in de bijbel dat "naar de hemel gaan" beschrijft. Hij zei, Johannes 3:13 Niemand is opgevaren naar de hemel dan Hij die uit de hemel is neergedaald, namelijk de Mensenzoon die in de hemel is. Handelingen 2:29 “Mannenbroeders, laat mij vrijuit tot u spreken over de aartsvader David, dat hij zowel dood als begraven is, en dat zijn graf tot op de dag van vandaag bij ons is. 30 Omdat hij een profeet was en wist dat God hem met een eed had gezworen dat Hij uit de vrucht van zijn lichaam, naar het vlees, de Christus zou opwekken om op zijn troon te zitten, 31 en dit voorziende, sprak aangaande de opstanding van de Christus, dat Zijn ziel niet in het dodenrijk werd achtergelaten, noch Zijn vlees verderf zag. 32 Deze Yeshua God heeft opgewekt, waarvan we allemaal getuigen zijn. 33 Daarom, verhoogd zijnde aan de rechterhand van God, en de belofte van de Heilige Geest ontvangen hebbende van de Vader, heeft Hij uitgestort wat u nu ziet en hoort. 34 Want David is niet opgestegen naar de hemel, maar hij zegt zelf: ' De Heer zei tegen mijn Heer: Zit aan Mijn rechterhand, De onderstaande verzen beschrijven wanneer we sterven, we gaan naar het graf en wachten op de opstanding. ● Johannes 5:28 Verwonder u hierover niet; want het uur komt waarin allen die in de graven zijn, zijn stem zullen horen 29 en tevoorschijn zullen komen - zij die het goede hebben gedaan, tot de opstanding ten leven, en zij die het kwade hebben gedaan, tot de opstanding ter verdoemenis. Openbaring 20:4 Toen zag ik de tronen, en degenen die erop zaten hadden macht gekregen om te oordelen. En ik zag de zielen van degenen die onthoofd waren vanwege hun getuigenis van Yeshua en vanwege het woord van God, en degenen die het beest of zijn beeld niet hadden aanbeden en het merkteken op hun voorhoofd of handen niet hadden ontvangen. En zij kwamen tot leven en regeerden met Christus duizend jaar lang. Openbaring 20:5 De rest van de doden kwam niet tot leven totdat de duizend jaar voorbij waren. Dit is de eerste opstanding. Openbaring 20:6 Gezegend en heilig is hij die deel heeft aan de eerste opstanding; over hen heeft de tweede dood geen macht, maar zij zullen priesters van God en van Christus zijn en duizend jaar met Hem regeren. Johannes 5:24 “Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: wie mijn woord hoort en gelooft in Hem die Mij gezonden heeft, heeft eeuwig leven en komt niet in het oordeel, maar is overgegaan van de dood in het leven. 25 Voorwaar, ik zeg u: het uur komt, en is nu, dat de doden de stem van de Zoon van God zullen horen; en zij die horen, zullen leven. 26 Want zoals de Vader leven heeft in Zichzelf, zo heeft Hij de Zoon leven gegeven in Zichzelf, 27 en heeft Hem macht gegeven om ook gericht te oordelen, omdat Hij de Zoon is van Man. 28 Verwonder u hierover niet; want het uur komt waarin allen die in de graven zijn, zijn stem zullen horen 29 en tevoorschijn zullen komen - zij die het goede hebben gedaan, tot de opstanding ten leven, en zij die het kwade hebben gedaan, tot de opstanding ter verdoemenis. 30 Ik kan zelf niets doen. Zoals ik hoor, oordeel ik; en mijn oordeel is rechtvaardig, omdat ik niet mijn eigen wil zoek, maar de wil van de Vader die mij gezonden heeft. Daniël 12:2 En velen van degenen die in het stof der aarde slapen, zullen ontwaken, sommigen tot eeuwig leven, sommigen tot schande en eeuwige minachting.3 Zij die wijs zijn, zullen schitteren. Johannes 11:23 Yeshua zei tegen haar: "Je broer zal weer opstaan." 24 Martha zei tegen Hem: "Ik weet dat hij zal opstaan in de opstanding op de laatste dag." Yeshua zei tegen haar: "Ik ben de opstanding en het leven. Wie in Mij gelooft, zal leven, ook al sterft hij. 26 En wie leeft en in Mij gelooft, zal nooit sterven. Geloof je dit?” Handelingen 4:1 Terwijl zij tot het volk spraken, kwamen de priesters, de hoofdman van de tempel en de Sadduceeën op hen af, 2 zeer verontrust omdat zij het volk leerden en predikten in Jesjoea de opstanding uit de doden. Handelingen 23:6 Maar toen Paulus bemerkte dat het ene deel Sadduceeën en het andere deel Farizeeën waren, riep hij in de raad uit: Mannen broeders, ik ben een Farizeeër, de zoon van een Farizeeër; betreffende de hoop en opstanding van de doden word ik geoordeeld!” ● Handelingen 24:15-16 Ik heb hoop op God, wat zij zelf ook aanvaarden, dat er een opstanding zal zijn van de doden, zowel de rechtvaardigen als de onrechtvaardigen. 16 Daarom streef ik er zelf altijd naar om een geweten te hebben zonder aanstoot te geven aan God en de mensen. ● 1 Thessalonicenzen 4:13-18 Maar ik wil niet dat u onwetend bent, broeders, over hen die slapen, opdat u niet treurt, net als anderen die geen hoop hebben. 14) Want aangezien we geloven dat Yeshua stierf en weer opstond, geloven we ook dat Yehovah degenen die in slaap zijn gevallen met Yeshua zal brengen. 15) Daarom zeggen wij u door het woord van de Heer, dat wij, die leven en overblijven tot de komst van de Heer, degenen die slapen niet zullen tegenhouden. de stem van de aartsengel en met de bazuin van God, en de doden in Christus zullen eerst opstaan. 17) Dan zullen wij, levenden en achtergeblevenen, samen met hen in de wolken worden opgenomen, om de Heer in de lucht te ontmoeten: en zo zullen we altijd met de Heer zijn. 18) Troost elkaar daarom met deze woorden” What did Jesus say about a man going to heaven? John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Is King David, a man after God’s heart, in heaven? Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens... Is King David still in the grave? Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day What did Jesus say about those dead in the grave? John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. What did Jesus call this event when all that are dead would hear His voice? John 5:29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. (ASV) At the resurrection, will you live forever? Luke 20:36 Neither can they die anymore: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
