"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left." Option 1: Direct & Natural (Engaging Study Guide) Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:26 "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left." What is "Willful Sin"? In this setting, willful sin means knowingly and permanently turning your back on Yeshua. It warns those who fully understand the truth yet consciously choose to walk away and reject Him. Why "No Sacrifice Remains": Yeshua is the Father's ultimate, complete, and final offering for human sin. Once an individual rejects Yeshua, there is no second savior, no Levitical altar to run back to, and no alternate plan of Option 3: Side-by-Side Clarification (Common Misconceptions vs. Biblical Meaning) What It Does Not Mean What the Scripture Actually Teaches It does not mean someone loses their standing because they stumble into ordinary human failure or daily struggles. It specifically warns against apostasy—a settled, deliberate decision to abandon faith in Yeshua entirely. It does not mean the Father refuses repentance from a contrite heart seeking forgiveness. It addresses those who knowingly treat Yeshua’s blood as unholy, leaving themselves with no other sacrifice to cover their sins. Proponents emphasize that Yehovah (יְהֹוָה) is not a 16th-century Christian invention. It is documented with full pointing in over 1,000 Hebrew Bible manuscripts, including prominent early texts like the Leningrad Codex and the Aleppo Codex. They argue Masoretic scribes who guarded letter-by-letter accuracy would not have recorded "mistaken" vowels across centurie The Consonants (יהוה / YHWH): Appear 6,828 times in the Hebrew Masoretic Text. In the Dead Sea Scrolls (dating 2,000+ years ago), scribes often wrote these four consonants in archaic Paleo-Hebrew script to set the sacred Name apart from the surrounding square Aramaic-Hebrew script. 1,000 times across other medieval manuscripts), while the shortened two-vowel form served as the standard scribal reminder (qere perpetuum) to pronounce "Adonai".

Repentance is the key by which we can enter His Kingdom, the way by which we are cleansed to be like Him, and the way He heals a nation. Most of us feel pretty good about ourselves, we don't want anyone to point out anything that make us feel uncomfortable about anything, especially salvation. Video de pento Pento estas la ŝlosilo per kiu ni povas eniri Lian Regnon, la vojon per kiu ni estas purigitaj por esti kiel Li, kaj la maniero kiel Li resanigas nacion. Plej multaj el ni sentas sin sufiĉe bone pri ni mem, ni volas, ke iu ajn atentigu ion, kio igas nin malkomforta pri io ajn, precipe pri savo. Se Petro venus al via preĝejo kaj donus la saman mesaĝon, kiun li donis dum Pentekosto, plej multaj homoj akuzus lin pri juĝo kaj malpartio. La Eternulo ordonis al ni observi Liajn ordonojn kaj leĝojn. Kial vi ne? Via Pastro ne volas, ke vi sentiĝu kulpa aŭ vundi viajn sentojn. Se vi neniam kritike ekzamenis vian koron kaj iam por demandi, kion mi devas fari por savo, tiam vi verŝajne neniam vere pentis. _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5c de-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d__cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ Atentu leganton_cc781905-5cde-31953cf58-bbd31953-cf58-3195-cf58-bd-3195-cf58-bd-3195-cf58-bd-3195-cf58d 4 Ĉar kiel tiuj, kiuj forlasas sian fidon, povas esti revenigitaj al pento denove? Ili iam estis en la lumo de Dio; ili gustumis la ĉielan donacon kaj ricevis sian parton de la Sankta Spirito; 5 ili sciis per sperto, ke la vorto de Dio estas bona, kaj ili sentis la potencojn de la venonta tempo. 6 Kaj tiam ili forlasis sian fidon! Estas neeble revenigi ilin al pento denove, ĉar ili denove krucumas la Filon de Dio kaj elmontras lin al publika honto. Hebreoj 6:4 Marko 3:29 "sed kiu blasfemas (nuntempo) kontraŭ la Sankta Spirito neniam havas pardonon sed estas submetata al eterna kondamno "Ĝi ne deklaras, ke tiu, kiu "blasfemis" (pasinteco) la Spirito neniam havas pardonon._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Foje, ni ĉiuj blasfemis la Spiriton ĉar ni ĉiuj malamis la Vorton de Dio... ĝis ni venis en la kredon kaj ekkreskas por ami la Vorton de Dio. Ĉu vi vidas la diferencon? Estas tiu, kiu aktive kaj nuntempe okupiĝas pri malobeado de la Vorto de Dio, kutime, sen zorgo aŭ zorgo, sen amo por la Vorto, kiu ne havas pardonon. Tiel, se vi amas la Vorton de Dio, kaj havas deziron praktiki la Vorton de Dio, tiam vi ne blasfemas aŭ malestimas la Spiriton de Dio... ĉar estas la Spirito de Dio kiu estas la deziro en nia koro por iru post Lia Torao. Estas diferenco inter nuntempe esti nepentanta kaj blasfemi la Spiriton aŭ malami la Vorton de Dio .... tiu persono neniam havas pardonon .... kaj tiam la persono kiu blasfemis la Spiriton kaj pentis, kaj amas iri en Lia Torao nur kiel nia Mesio instruis kaj praktikis... estas li, kiu havas pardonon. 119 Ministerioj Mark 1:14 Li diris:La tempo estas plenumita, kaj la regno de Dio estas proksima. Pentu kaj kredu je la evangelio!” Luke 3:8 8 Produktu fruktojn konforme al pento. Kaj ne komencu diri al vi:Ni havas Abrahamon kiel patron. Ĉar mi diras al vi, ke el ĉi tiuj ŝtonoj Dio povas starigi filojn por Abraham. Se la leĝoj de Dio estas forigitaj, kiel do vi povas penti? Pentu de kio? “Pento estas antaŭkondiĉo por kredo. Kio estas pento? Ĝia baza signifo estas" "ŝanĝi" aŭ "turni." Post kiam persono aŭdas la evangelion kaj estas konvinkita ke lia vivmaniero estas malĝusta, li devas ŝanĝi sian aŭ ŝian konduton kaj turni reen al la Torao. La Eternulo nomas Toraon Siaj instrukcioj por Siaj infanoj. Homoj povas identigi vian obeemon sekvante la Toraon kiel konvertiĝon al judismo. Ili ŝajnas forgesi, ke nia Savanto estas juda kaj kion li diris pri ĉiuj, kiuj estas en Kristo, estas unu? Se peko rompas Toraon. Obeo estus konservi Toraon. Malĝoji; volas ŝanĝi; kompleta ŝanĝo de penso. Ŝanĝu vian menson al peko, decido forlasi pekon kaj obei Dion. (peko estas malobeo de la Leĝo); Turniĝi; fari 180; Kiam ni pentas, ni vidas ĉi tiujn tri paŝojn? Ni sentas nin kulpaj pri nia peko, kiu estas malobeo de la Torao. Ni ĉesas praktiki pekon. Ni deturnas nin de peko kaj komencis iradi kun Dio. Johano 3:8 Vipuridoj, kiu avertis vin, ke vi forkuru de la venonta kolero? Produktu fruktojn indajn je pento. 1 John 2:15-16 Ne amu la mondon nek la aferojn en la mondo. Se iu amas la mondon, la amo de la Patro ne estas en li, ĉar ĉio, kio estas en la mondo (la deziro de la karno kaj la deziro de la okuloj kaj la aroganteco produktita de materiaj posedaĵoj) ne estas de la Patro, sed estas el la mondo. Pento estas ne nur bedaŭro aŭ pento, sed esti tiel frapita en la koro, ke oni serĉas la purigon de bapto kaj komencas vivi laŭ la normoj de Dio – laŭ la leĝo de Dio. Pento sen responda ŝanĝo en konduto ne estas pento! La fruktoj de pento estas videblaj agoj - ofte nomataj "faroj" - kiuj montras, ke homo ja ŝanĝiĝis. Kiam Johano la Baptisto predikis penton por prepari la vojon por la ministerio de Jeshua, lia spektantaro demandis lin kion ili devas fari por penti. Li respondas: Luke 3:10-14 10 Vestu la nudan, nutru la malsaton, ne sxtelu, ne uzu sian auxtoritaton por premi, ne mensogu nek malvere akuzu, kaj kontentigxu per sia salajro. ● Mark 1:15 Jeshua diris: "Venu en formo de urĝa ordono: "La tempo estas plenumita, kaj la regno de Dio alproksimiĝas. Pentu, kaj kredu al la evangelio." Ĉi tiuj agoj estas obei la leĝojn de Dio kaj montri amon al la proksimulo. ● Mateo 19:17 Jeshua diris: "Se vi volas eniri en eternan vivon, observu la ordonojn" John 12:49-50 49 CXar mi ne parolis pro mi mem, sed la Patro, kiu min sendis, donis al mi ordonon, kion diri kaj kion diri. 50 Kaj mi scias, ke Lia ordono estas eterna vivo. Kion mi diras, do mi diras, kiel diris al mi la Patro. Por sekvi la instrukciojn de Dio, vi devas iri al kie ili unue estas menciitaj en la biblio. Sekvu la skriban instrukcion de la Torao, la unuajn kvin librojn de via biblio, ne vian pastron aŭ iu ajn homon. Psalmo 146:2 2 Mi gloros la Eternulon dum mi vivo; Mi kantos laŭdojn al mia Dio dum mi estos. 3 Ne fidu princojn, Mortulon, en kiu ne ekzistas savo. 4 Lia spirito foriras; li revenas sur la teron; En tiu sama tago liaj pensoj pereas. Jeĥezkel 22:26 Ŝiaj pastroj (paŝtistoj) perfortis Mian instruon kaj malsanktigis Miajn sanktaĵojn; ili ne faris diferencon inter sanktaĵo kaj malpuraĵo, kaj ili ne instruis diferencon inter malpuraĵo kaj puraĵo; ili kasxas siajn okulojn antaux Miaj sabatoj, kaj Mi estas malsanktigita inter ili. 27 GXiaj princoj interne de sxi estas kiel lupoj, kiuj dissxiras predon, versxas sangon kaj detruas animojn, por akiri malhonestan profiton.… Matthew 15:8 8 Ĉi tiu popolo honoras Min per siaj lipoj, sed ilia koro estas malproksime de Mi. Ili vane adoras Min; ili instruas kiel doktrinon la ordonojn de homoj.'” Matthew 15:14 14 Lasu ilin; ili estas blindaj gvidantoj de blinduloj. Kaj se blindulo kondukos blindulon, ambaux falos en la fosajxon. 2 Corinthians 13:15 Provu kaj taksu vin, por vidi, ĉu vi estas en la fido kaj vivas kiel kredantoj. Ekzamenu vin [ne mi]! Aŭ ĉu vi ne rekonas ĉi tion pri vi mem [per daŭra sperto], ke Jeshua estas en vi—krom se vi ne malsukcesas la provon kaj ne estas malakceptitaj kiel falsitaj?

12 Tribes of Israel Are you a Christian ?? What did Jesus do Are you a Real Christian Counterfit Christian Churches Who Teach Us to Keep Sunday Admit It’s NOT the Sabbath of the Bible Follow your own heart NOT Spiritual Blindness The spiritually blind hear the truth, but they cannot see what it means. They cannot see the “big picture” of salvation, and they are unable to see how it applies to their own life. They have trouble confessing the truth because they have difficulty believing what they cannot see. John 3:13. ESV No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. NIV No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Profile of a fake Christian The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5 The Messiah is the only person in history who never sinned. He showed us how to love God and our neighbor by walking out the Torah perfectly—keeping the Sabbath, eating clean, and honoring the Appointed Days. He explicitly commanded us to walk exactly as He walked. When a person claims to be a Christian and a follower yet lives in total opposition to His steps, they are betraying Him—pretending to be His friend while actively working against His commandments. 1 John 2:6 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15 If anyone says, “I know Him, but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19). It Replaces Divine Truth with Human Tradition: Bypassing God's Feasts, dietary laws, and Sabbath always leads to a common substitution—making the Word of God "of none effect" through human traditions (Mark 7:13). It Separates Faith from True Loyalty: Scripture states, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 John 5:3). Teaching against obedience strips believers of the concrete actions required to show true covenant loyalty. The Bottom Line: Telling people they are free to ignore the Father's instructions mimics the very first deception in the Garden: "Yea, hath God said...?" It doesn't just misinterpret Scripture; it actively trains people to live in comfortable transgression. Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth People cant separate their emotions from the truth What makes 90% of Christians Christians they say they are Israel Sin is the transgression of all God's Laws But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. you will not practice sinning. The creator's name is Yehovah His name means He saves He calls many but chooses few He has a son His name is Yeshua His name means salvation All salvation has to go through him Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. Last but not least is The Holy Spirit God gives only to those who obey them. Having the Holy Spirit in us is our prof we are saved. God called His chosen Israel consisting of twelve of Israel In His kingdom there are only 12 gates with the names of the 12 tribes no other ways into the kingdom. Any affection or feeling or emotion stirred up by error or false doctrine is worthless.

"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 Profile of a Fake Christian They disobey God's commandments they don't keep the Sabbath, They eat unclean, and they refuse to keep God's appointed times.

When you received Christ, the Holy Spirit came and began living inside you. Walking in the flesh instead of the Spirit can be a tell-tale sign of something fishy (Galatians 5:16-18) . We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”Acts 5:32 2. Do they have a new nature? When you are born again, you become a new creation with new desires, a new mind, and a new heart. If there isn’t evidence of any of these then, “Houston, we’ve got a problem!” 3. Do they have Christ’s agape love for others? By this, all will know that you are my disciples if you have a love for one another. John 13:35 The Bottom Line: No love, no Christ, yes love, yes Christ… 4. Do they obey God’s Commandments? Now by this, we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. -1 John 2:3 Christians Can and will stop practicing sinning because they have the Holy Spirit inside them. 5. Is their fruit in their life? The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22- 23 ). True Christians will have these spiritual fruits in their lives. 6. Are they becoming more like Jesus? The true markings of a Christian is that he or she is becoming like their Master. If someone isn’t becoming more like Jesus, then chances are they are not a follower of Jesus. 7. Have they put their trust in Jesus for their salvation? Ask someone one of these questions to see who or what they are trusting in for their salvation. If it ain’t Yeshua, then they ain’t saved. Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. the process of learning something by repetition, rather than by really understanding it: 3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. 4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. 5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Bible verses about fake Christians Sadly many false believers will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation. When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word. Many people follow false teachings from the Bible given by false preachers or they just refuse to obey instructions from God and follow their own minds. There are many people who throw on the Christian name tag and think by just going to church they will be granted Heaven , which is false. You know there are people like that in your church and especially in the youth today. You know there are people still having sex outside of marriage, still going to clubs , and they still have a continuous willful potty mouth. Hell will be worse for these people than atheists . They are just Sunday Christians and they don’t care about Christ. Am I saying that a Christian is perfect? No. Can a Christian backslide? no, but there will be growth and maturity in a true believer's life because it is God working in them. They won’t just remain in darkness if they are the Lord’s sheep because God will discipline them and also His sheep hear His voice. Fake Christians quote Laurence J Peter – “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car.” “Don’t let your lips and your lives preach two different messages.” “Your most powerful testimony is how you treat others after the church service is over.” “What a heartbreak it would be to live an “almost” Christian life, then “almost” get into heaven.” Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. 3.

Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Fake Christians don’t care about God’s Word Fake Christians sin on purpose saying, “I’ll just repent later” and disobeying God’s teachings. Even though we are all sinners and we still struggle with sin, Christians don’t live a lifestyle of willfully and deliberately Practic sining. 6. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 7. 1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ. 8. 1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil had been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God. 9. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 10. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you? Fake Christians are hypocrites Even though the Bible says we are to lovingly, kindly, and gently go to our brothers and sisters alone to correct them of their sins, how can you do that, but you’re doing the same thing as them just as much or even more than them? People who do things for show such as give to the poor and other acts of kindness to be seen by others are also hypocrites. 15. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 16. Matthew 6:1-2 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17. Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. In John 14:15, Jesus put this truth plainly to His disciples like this: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” That may seem like a simple, even simplistic, statement, but if we look at it closely, we realize that it teaches us much about what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the distinguished mark of a real Christian. whom God has given to those who obey Him.” acts 5:32 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." True Christians love Yeshua and have new desires and affection for Him . 12. John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my word. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.” 13. 1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 14. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 1 John 3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a ] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

Great White Throne Judgment comes with a curse of eternal death. Make no mistake! God will allow you to defy and disobey Him. (He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap!) La vero pri Infero Granda Blanka Trono-Juĝo venas kun malbeno de eterna morto. Ne eraru! Dio permesos al vi defii kaj malobei Lin. Li permesos al vi sekvi la homamason kaj la tradiciojn de homoj. Li permesos al vi peki. (Li ankaŭ diras, ke venos tago de kalkulado. Kiel vi semas, tiel vi rikoltos!) Jeshua estis la vivanta Vorto de Dio en Persono, kaj la Biblio estas la skribita Vorto de Dio. Kaj ni estos juĝitaj, por eterne per ĉi tiuj vortoj! Ili ne devus esti prenitaj malpeze aŭ ignoritaj. Kiam estas la Juĝo de la Granda Blanka Trono? Ĉe la fino de la Jarmilo post la Batalo de Gog & Magog, ke la granda dua Resurekto okazas. REV.20:5 Sed la ceteraj mortintoj ne vivis denove, gxis la mil jaroj finigxis. Revelation 20:7-9 Kaj kiam la mil jaroj finiĝos, Satano estos liberigita el sia malliberejo, 8 kaj eliros, por trompi la naciojn, kiuj estas sur la kvar partoj de la tero, Gog kaj Magog, por kolekti ilin. kune por batali, kies nombro estas kiel la sablo de la maro.9 Kaj ili iris sur la laron de la tero kaj irkairis la tendaron de la sanktuloj kaj la amatan urbon; kaj fajro malsupreniris de Dio el la ielo; kaj formangxis ilin. La Juĝo de la Granda Blanka Trono estas por la ceteraj mortintoj, ĉiuj mortintoj de ĉiuj epokoj, kiuj ni ne estas savitaj, kaj tial ne estis revivigitaj ĉe la Dua Veno de Kristo kaj ne aperis ĉe la Juĝseĝo de Kristo. Ĝi inkludas ĉiujn tiujn kiuj vivis tra la 1000-jara Jarmilo kaj tamen sekvis la Diablon ĉe la fino de ĝi kaj tiam estis detruitaj en la Batalo de Gog kaj Magog. Ĉiuj homoj, kiuj iam vivis, se ne savitaj, ĉu ili estis bonaj aŭ malbonaj en siaj surteraj vivoj, devos stari ĉe ĉi tiu Granda Blanka Trona Juĝo de Dio. Kiu estas Juĝita ĉe Granda Blanka Trono-Juĝo? Ĉi tiu juĝo estas por ĉiuj mortintoj, malgrandaj kaj grandaj, inkluzive de ĉiuj tiuj, kiuj vivis tra la Jarmilo kaj tamen sekvis la Diablon kaj tiam estis detruitaj ĉe la fino de ĝi ĉe la Batalo de Gog & Magog. John 3:4 CXiu, kiu faras pekon, faras ankaux maljustecon. Efektive, peko estas maljusteco. 5 Sed vi scias, ke Kristo aperis, por forpreni pekojn, kaj en li ne estas peko. 6 Neniu, kiu restas en Li, daŭre pekas. Neniu, kiu daŭre pekas, vidis Lin aŭ konis Lin. 7 Infanetoj, neniu vin trompu: Justulo estas justulo, kiel Kristo estas justa. 8 Kiu faras pekon, tiu estas el la diablo, ĉar la diablo pekas de la komenco. Jen kial la Filo de Dio estis rivelita, por pereigi la farojn de la diablo.9 iu ajn naskita de Dio rifuzas praktiki pekon, ar la idaro de Dio restas en li; li ne povas plu peki, ĉar li estas naskita de Dio. 10 Per tio oni povas distingi la filojn de Dio kaj la filojn de la diablo: Kiu ne faras justecon, ne estas de Dio, nek iu, kiu ne amas sian fraton. ● Apokalipso 13: 16 Li igas ĉiujn, malgrandaj kaj grandaj, riĉaj kaj malriĉaj, liberaj kaj sklavoj, ricevi markon dekstre aŭ sur ilia frunto, 17 kaj por ke neniu aĉetu aŭ vendu krom tiu, kiu havas la markon. pri la nomo de la besto a la nombro de lia nomo.18 Jen estas sao. Kiu havas prudenton, kalkulu la nombron de la besto, ĉar ĝi estas la nombro de homo: lia nombro estas 666. Revelation 14:9 9 Kaj la tria angxelo sekvis ilin, dirante per lauxta vocxo:Se iu adorklinigxas al la besto kaj al lia bildo, kaj ricevas lian markon sur sia frunto aux en sia mano, 10 tiu trinkos el la vino de la Eternulo. kolero de Dio, kiu estas elverŝita senmiksaĵo en la kalikon de Lia indigno; kaj li estos turmentata per fajro kaj sulfuro antaŭ la sanktaj anĝeloj, kaj antaŭ la Ŝafido:11 kaj la fumo de ilia turmento leviĝas por ĉiam kaj eterne; kaj ili ne havas ripozon tage nek nokte, kiuj adorkliniĝas; la besto kaj lia bildo, kaj kiu ajn ricevas la markon de sia nomo. Mateo 13:42 “Kiel la herbo estas eltirita kaj forbruligita en la fajro, tiel estos en la fino de la mondo. 41 La Filo de homo sendos siajn anĝelojn, kaj ili elŝuos el lia regno ĉion, kio pekigas, kaj ĉiujn, kiuj faras malbonon. 42 Ili jxetos ilin en la ardantan fornon, kie estos plorado kaj grincado de dentoj. 43 Tiam la virtuloj brilos kiel la suno en la regno de sia Patro. Kiu havas orelojn, tiu aŭdu. Hebrews 10:26-27 26 CXar se ni intence pekas, ricevinte la scion de la vero, ne plu restas ofero pro pekoj, sed timiga atendo de jugxo, kaj fajro de fajro, kiu ekstermos la kontrauxulojn. La sekvaj versoj klarigas, ke estas dua resurekto, kie ĉiuj mortintoj revivigos morton kaj juĝo sekvos. La Granda Blanka Trono-Juĝo. Revelation 20:11 11 Kaj mi vidis grandan blankan tronon, kaj la Sidanton sur gxi, de kies vizagxo forkuris la tero kaj la cxielo; kaj ne trovigxis loko por ili. 12 Kaj mi vidis la mortintojn, malgrandajn kaj grandajn, starantajn antaŭ la Eternulo; kaj la libroj estis malfermitaj; kaj alia libro estis malfermita, kiu estas la libro de vivo; kaj la mortintoj estis jugxataj el tio, kio estis skribita en la libroj, laux iliaj faroj. 13 Kaj la maro transdonis la mortintojn, kiuj estis en ĝi; kaj la morto kaj SXeol transdonis la mortintojn, kiuj estis en ili; kaj ili estis jugxataj cxiu laux siaj faroj. 14 Kaj la morto kaj Geheno estis jxetitaj en la fajran lagon. Ĉi tiu estas la dua morto. 15 Kaj kiu ajn ne trovigxis skribita en la libro de vivo, tiu estis jxetita en la fajran lagon. La tuta homaro estas "sub la leĝo" ĝis ili venos en interligon per fido al la Mesio kaj ricevas savon per graco per tiu fido. Esti "sub la leĝo" signifas sub la puno de la leĝo, kiu estas morto. Ĉi tio ankaŭ estas nomita la Leĝo de Peko kaj Morto (Romanoj 8:2). Paŭlo deklaras iom pli frue en Romanoj, ke la salajro de peko estas morto (Romanoj 6:23). _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Yahweh _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Registro de faroj La fruktoj de pento estas videblaj agoj - ofte nomataj "faroj" - kiuj montras, ke homo ja ŝanĝiĝis. Romans 7:7 Nu, cxu mi sugestas, ke la legxo de Dio estas peka? Kompreneble ne! Fakte, estis la leĝo, kiu montris al mi mian pekon. Mi neniam scius, ke avidado estas malĝusta, se la leĝo ne estus dirinta: "Vi ne devas avidi". 1 John 3:4 CXiu, kiu faras pekon, faras ankaux maljustecon; peko estas maljusteco. Ĉiu faro estas registrita en libro, laŭ Revelacio 20:12. Ĉi tiuj atestantoj estas kial ĉiu buŝo estos fermita, aŭ haltita, antaŭ nia Kreinto; nia peko estas establita. Kiel vi eble scias, laŭ la Torao, necesas 2 ĝis 3 atestantoj por establi aferon kaj kondamni iun al morto. Sed ĉu vi konsciis, ke ĉi tio inkluzivas nian propran kulpon kun la Patro? Deuteronomy 19:15 (Esperanto) Ne sufiĉas unu atestanto kontraŭ homo pro ia krimo aŭ por ia maljustaĵo rilate al iu krimo, kiun li faris. Nur sur la atesto de du atestantoj aŭ de tri atestantoj estos starigita akuzo. Ni scias, ke du atestantoj estas necesaj por konstati nian kulpon. Daŭrigante. Romans 3:19-20 19 Nun ni scias, ke kion ajn la legxo diras, gxi parolas al tiuj, kiuj estas sub la legxo, por ke cxiu busxo estu fermita, kaj la tuta mondo respondu antaux Dio. Ĉar per faroj de la leĝo neniu homo estos pravigita antaŭ liaj okuloj, ĉar per la leĝo venas scio pri peko. La demando, kiu unue devas esti respondita, estas, kiuj estas tiuj, kiuj estas "sub la leĝo"? Por la tempo ni simple konstatos, ke la tuta homaro estas "sub la leĝo" ĝis ili venos en interligon per fido al la Mesio kaj ricevos savon per graco per tiu fido. Ĉi tio ankaŭ inkluzivas la Skribojn, kie la Eternulo diris al ni, ke Li sendos al ni Mesion, per kiu savo fariĝus ebla. Ni engaĝiĝas al tiu vero, kaj tiam vivas niajn vivojn kvazaŭ ĝi estus vera montrado, aŭ la pruvo de, kion ni kredas esti vero. Tiel fari estas la ekzercado de nia fido al la Vorto; per tiu fido kaj per la graco de la Eternulo, ni povas ricevi savon. Post kiam ni havas tiun fidon, post kiam ni rimarkas, ke ni meritas morton kaj bezonas la elaĉetan laboron de la Mesio kaj turnas nian fidon en ago (nia obeemo), ni ne plu estas sub la malbeno (leĝo de peko kaj morto). Antaŭ ol ni havis fidon al Mesio, ni estis sub la leĝo de peko kaj morto (la malbeno), sed post fido ni ne plu estas sub la leĝo de peko kaj morto. Revelation 20:11-15 11 Tiam mi vidis grandan blankan tronon kaj Tiun, kiu sidis sur gxi. De Li forkuris tero kaj ĉielo, kaj por ili ne troviĝis loko. Kaj mi vidis la mortintojn, grandajn kaj malgrandajn, starantajn antaŭ la trono, kaj libroj estis malfermitaj. Tiam estis malfermita alia libro, kiu estas la libro de vivo. Kaj la mortintoj estis jugxataj laux tio, kio estas skribita en la libroj, laux tio, kion ili faris. Kaj la maro transdonis la mortintojn, kiuj estis en ĝi, la Morto kaj Hades transdonis la mortintojn, kiuj estis en ili, kaj ili estis juĝitaj ĉiu el ili laŭ tio, kion ili faris. Tiam Morto kaj Hadeso estis ĵetitaj en la fajran lagon. Ĉi tiu estas la dua morto, la fajra lago, kaj se iu nomo ne estis trovita skribita en la libro de vivo, li estis ĵetita en la fajran lagon. (119 ministerioj) Ĉu vi vidis tion? Ĉiuj niaj faroj estas registritaj en libroj; tiuj libroj estas la dua atestanto. Tamen, post kiam ni havas fidon al Mesio, ni trovas, ke ni ne plu estas sub la puno de la leĝo ĉar Li pagis tiun punon. Tamen, kiel tio povas esti? Ankoraŭ estas du atestantoj, ĉu do ni ankoraŭ ne meritu eternan morton? Ni trovas la respondon al tiu demando kiam ni rigardas Kolosanoj 2:13-14. Colossians 2:13-14 13 Kaj vin, kiuj estis malvivaj pro viaj kulpoj kaj la necirkumcido de via karno, Dio vivigis kune kun li, pardoninte al ni cxiujn niajn kulpojn, nuliginte la ateston de sxuldo, kiu staris kontraux ni kun gxiaj legxoj postuloj. . Ĉi tion li flankenmetis, najlante ĝin al la kruco. Verso 13 konfirmas, ke ni mortis pro niaj pekoj, sed per Mesio niaj pekoj estas pardonitaj. Do... kio okazas kiam niaj pekoj estas pardonitaj? La "rekordo de ŝuldo kiu staris kontraŭ ni" estis nuligita. Ĝi estas pagita de Mesio kaj najlita al la arbo. Kie estis notita la registro de ĉi tiu ŝuldo? Ĝi estis skribita en la libro kie ĉiuj niaj faroj estis registritaj, la dua atestanto kiu establas nian kulpon. Post kiam tiu registro de ŝuldo estas pagita, ĝi estas forigita de nia registro; kaj ni nun estas senmakulaj. Nun estas nur unu atestanto! Ni ne povas esti mortigitaj kun nur unu atestanto! Ni nun havas eternan vivon! Mesio pagis la punon kaj tiel detruis la konton de niaj krimoj, por ke ili ne plu estu tenataj kontraŭ ni! La kialo, ke havi fidon al Mesio funkcias, ne estas ĉar la leĝo estis forigita de ni kiel iuj kredas, ke Kolosanoj 2 instruas. Savo funkcias ene de la limoj aŭ parametroj establitaj de la Torao ĉar la dua atestanto necesa por kondamni nin al eterna morto estis forigita. La Eternulo ne agas ekster Sia legxo; se Li faris, kiel do ni povas kredi, ke ni devus aŭ eĉ povas esti nomataj justaj. Nia Kreinto estas mirinda, perfekta, justa, justa kaj bona. Li donas al ni instrukciojn detalantajn kiel Li volas, ke ni vivu kiel apartigitaj homoj. Kiel bona patro, kiam ni malobeas la regulojn, estas puno por tio; kaj ĝi estas severa. Tamen, ĉar Li tiom amas Sian popolon, Li eĉ disponigis vojon ene de Siaj propraj reguloj, ke ni povas esti elaĉetitaj de tiu puno. Lia leĝo vere estas perfekta; en ĝi kuŝas ĉio de Lia provizo por ni Deuteronomy 19:15 "Vi devas juĝi neniun pro krimo laŭ la atesto de nur unu atestanto; la faktoj de la kazo devas esti konstatitaj per la atesto de du aŭ tri atestantoj. Galatians 3:24-26 24 Tial la legxo estis nia gardisto, gxis Kristo venis, por ke ni estu pravigitaj per fido. Sed nun, kiam la fido venis, ni ne plu estas sub gardisto, ĉar en Kristo Jesuo (Mesia Jeshua) vi ĉiuj estas filoj de Dio per fido. La "leĝo de peko kaj morto" eskortas, aŭ alportas nin, al Kristo substrekante ke ni estas en sklaveco/sub la malbeno. Ne estas ĝis la "leĝo de peko kaj morto" instruas nin, ke ni estas malbenitaj kaj en sklaveco, ke ni povas veni al la Mesio en fido kiel nia Savanto. Sen tiu scio ni havus neniun kialon veni al Li. Do, ni bezonas la "malbenon de la leĝo" aŭ la "leĝon de peko kaj morto" por instrui nin, ke ni estas en sklaveco (sub peko - Romanoj 3:20) por "eskorti" nin al la Mesio. Ĝi estas por instrui nin havi fidon kaj fidon je Lia perfekta graco kiel la perfekta praktikado de la Vorto fariĝinta karno kiu fariĝis la malbeno por ni sur tiu arbo. Galatians 3:25 25 Sed nun, kiam la fido venis, ni ne plu estas sub gardisto. Nun estas la tempo por rememori tiun difinon de fido. Parto de fido estas kredi, ke tio, kion la Vorto diras al ni, estas vera. La Vorto, kiu inkluzivas la Toraon aŭ Leĝon de Dio, montras al ni, ke ni meritas morton ĉar ni pekis kaj ke la Patro havas manieron por ke ni estu savitaj de tiu morto? Tiu vojo estas per fido al Mesio, la Vorto. Alivorte, la maniero por ke ni estu savitaj estas kredi, ke ni pekis kaj meritas morton ĉar la Vorto tion diras. Ni fidas, ke tio, kion la Patro diris al ni, estas vera, ke por esti justaj ni devas sekvi Lian Vorton, kaj tiam ni faras ĝin. Ĉi tio ankaŭ inkluzivas la Skribojn, kie la Eternulo diris al ni, ke Li sendos al ni Mesion, per kiu savo fariĝus ebla. Ni engaĝiĝas al tiu vero, kaj tiam vivas niajn vivojn kvazaŭ ĝi estus vera montrado, aŭ la pruvo de, kion ni kredas esti vero. Tiel fari estas la ekzercado de nia fido al la Vorto; per tiu fido kaj per la graco de la Eternulo, ni povas ricevi savon. Post kiam ni havas tiun fidon, post kiam ni rimarkas, ke ni meritas morton kaj bezonas la elaĉetan laboron de la Mesio kaj turnas nian fidon en ago (nia obeemo), ni ne plu estas sub la malbeno (leĝo de peko kaj morto). Antaŭ ol ni havis fidon al Mesio, ni estis sub la leĝo de peko kaj morto (la malbeno), sed post fido ni ne plu estas sub la leĝo de peko kaj morto. La leĝo de peko kaj morto estas la gvidisto, la gardisto. Denove, por pli detala diskuto pri tiu temo, bonvolu vidi niajn instruojn "La instruisto ne plu bezonas, ĉar ni ne plu estas "sub la leĝo" (de peko kaj morto). Kiam ni venas en la kredon, ni havas la komprenon, ke Mesio pagis la punon de la leĝo por ni. Ĉu vi komencas vidi kiel ĉio ĉi funkcias kune? La Torao estis donita por difini por ni, kio estis peko, estas puno por pekado, kiu estas morto. Neniu povas esti mortigita krom se estas du atestantoj. La Eternulo mem estas unu atestanto. Sed kio estas la dua? Revelation 21:1 Kaj mi vidis novan cxielon kaj novan teron; cxar la unua cxielo kaj la unua tero forpasis; kaj ne estis plu maro.2 Kaj mi Johano vidis la sanktan urbon, novan Jerusalemon, malsuprenirantan de Dio el la ielo, pretitan kiel fianino ornamita por sia edzo 3 Kaj mi adis grandan voon el la ielo dirantan:Jen la tabernaklo de Dio estas kun homoj, kaj Li logxos kun ili, kaj ili estos Lia popolo, kaj Dio mem estos kun ili kaj estos ilia Dio. 4 Kaj Dio forvisxos cxiujn larmojn el iliaj okuloj; kaj ne plu estos morto, nek malgxojo, nek kriado, nek doloro; cxar la antauxaj aferoj forpasis. Isaiah 65:17 17 Jen Mi kreos novajn cxielojn kaj novan teron; la antauxajn aferojn ne estos memoritaj, nek ili venos al la menso Granda Titolo

Good Friday at 3pm to Easter Sunday while it was still dark. Humm the math says drumm role 3pm Monday . Christ said He would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights, Good Friday Easter Sunday Is Easter Pagan? 3 tagoj kaj 3 tagoj noktoj 72 horoj Jonah Cast Into the Sea and Swallowed …16Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to Him. 17 Now the LORD had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish. How Can Celebrate Easter Anger God? Now that we have just gone through the roots of easter the question remains, “How does celebrating easter anger God?” There is no doubt that the holiday has pagan roots which the LORD detests. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the LORD’s reaction to Israel’s constant falling away into idol worship and pagan practices. We are not much different than the Israelites. Why should we expect a different reaction from Abba? The Word says that God is a jealous God who does not tolerate idolatry. And even if you celebrate Easter with Jesus in mind, God does not receive this! Why? Because it’s a strange fire! Following a holiday with pagan roots , symbols, and meanings and then claiming it in honor of God is an abomination! Here is the clean, definitive Simple Test for identifying whether your home, calendar, and physical habits are in alignment with the Torah of Yehovah, or if you are active in the sin of syncretism—mixing the holy commands of God with the profane traditions of the world. ⚖️ The Simple Test: Sinning Against God (Syncretism Check) Instructions: Answer these 10 direct, binary (Yes/No) questions honestly before the Creator. Question 1: The Origin of the Winter Tree The Scriptural Law: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles... for one cuts a tree from the forest... They decorate it with silver and gold...” (Jeremiah 10:2-4). The Question: When the winter season arrives, do you bring a decorated evergreen tree into your property, or do you banish this custom because it imitates the historic winter-solstice practices of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You refuse to bring a winter tree into your home, treating the custom as a futile practice rooted in ancient solar idolatry. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to set up, decorate, or participate around the tree, claiming "it represents Jesus to me." Question 2: The Sunrise Worship Timing The Scriptural Law: “...with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.” (Ezekiel 8:16). The Question: Do you participate in traditional "Sunrise Services" on the spring equinox calendar, a practice historically dedicated to the dawn and spring deities of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You reject the custom, recognizing that the Father explicitly calls solar-aligned worship timing an abomination. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend or defend these services because mainstream church culture has assigned a biblical meaning to them. Question 3: The Vocabulary of the Tongue The Scriptural Law: “And make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” (Exodus 23:13). The Question: Do you actively scrub the terminology of the nations from your lips when discussing holy things—such as refusing to call the celebration of the Master's resurrection by the name of a Germanic spring goddess (Easter)? [ ] YES (I obey God): You call His days what the Scriptures call them: Pesach (Passover) and Yom HaBikkurim (Firstfruits). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to use pagan-rooted names for holy realities because it is easier and more socially acceptable. Question 4: The Altar of Your Appetite The Scriptural Law: “Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together,’ says the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:17). The Question: When you select what to put into your body, does the written Law of Leviticus 11 hold total veto power over your appetite, your cravings, and your social comfort? [ ] YES (I obey God): You strictly observe the dietary boundaries, treating your body as a clean, set-apart living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You consume pork, shellfish, or other unclean things, rationalizing it through modern theology, social convenience, or personal taste. Question 5: The Master of Your Time The Scriptural Law: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God.” (Exodus 20:8-10). The Question: Do you physically cease from your worldly labor, commerce, and buying/selling on the Seventh-Day Sabbath (sunset Friday to sunset Saturday), or do you follow the Sunday tradition of Rome? [ ] YES (I obey God): You guard the Seventh-Day Sabbath as an eternal covenant sign between you and the Father. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You treat the Seventh Day like any other day for work, shopping, or entertainment, preferring man's shifting calendar. Question 6: The Direct Instruction Rule The Scriptural Law: “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.” (Deuteronomy 12:32). The Question: When looking for a way to worship the King, do you stick strictly to the Appointed Times (Moedim) He wrote down, or do you believe human beings have the authority to invent new religious holidays and rituals? [ ] YES (I obey God): You believe the Torah is sufficient and complete; you add no human holidays to His sacred calendar. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You participate in holidays invented by the state of Rome or modern culture, assuming God accepts whatever we offer. Question 7: Purging Sacred Objects from the Home The Scriptural Law: “You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire... nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your God.” (Deuteronomy 7:25). The Question: Do you systematically inspect your home, decorations, and properties to ensure you are not harboring symbols historically tied to ancient fertility cults, solar wheels, or the occult? [ ] YES (I obey God): You purge your household of any physical item that carries a heritage of false worship or worldly customs. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You keep these items around as "art," "decorations," or "antiques," ignoring the spiritual snare attached to them. Question 8: The Hearing of the Ear The Scriptural Law: “He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9). The Question: When the hard, straightforward truth of the Torah cuts across your comfort, your wallet, or your family traditions, how does your ear respond? [ ] YES (I obey God): You humble yourself, undergo the continuous baptism of repentance, and adjust your life immediately to match the Spoken Word. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You look for loop-holes, modern grace excuses, or point to "good intentions," matching the exact description of the nation that refuses to be taught (Jeremiah 7:27). Question 9: The Pressure of the Feast Table The Scriptural Law: “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:21). The Question: If a close family member invites you to a major traditional holiday dinner (like Christmas or Easter) where unclean food is served and pagan-rooted traditions are practiced, do you have the courage to politely decline the invitation to keep your garments clean? [ ] YES (I obey God): You value covenant fidelity above family harmony, refusing to sit at a table that honors a mixed, profane tradition. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend anyway to "keep the peace," validating their compromise with your presence. Question 10: The Definition of Faith The Scriptural Law: “But don't just listen to Yehovah’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” (James 1:22). The Question: Is your faith a concrete action of physical submission, consisting of Believing, Committing, and Doing, or is it an intellectual concept wrapped in emotional sentiment? [ ] YES (I obey God): Your faith drives you to physically walk out His commands regarding His Sabbaths, His boundaries, and His instructions. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You claim to have "faith in your heart" while your hands, your diet, and your lifestyle continue to practice the lawless habits of the world around you. 🎯 The Final Scorecard Every YES choice means you are standing with the Remnant who worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24). Every NO choice means the flesh is still ruling in that area, and you are active in syncretism—bringing "strange fire" before the altar of the King. “Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods...” — Deuteronomy 12:31 The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children 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 in the Easter's Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and 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 Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) God is not happy with the way we have mixed pagan practices with His true worship. Celebrating Easter does not honor or please God even if we do it with the right intention. It was never established by God, so why are we so attached to it? Why do we go to great lengths to defend a holiday that angers Abba? Pride perhaps? Or our unbudging stubbornness in tradition? In the words of Paul to the Romans: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.” (Romans 11:5) And still, to this day, there is a remnant of followers of The Way who have made the decision not to be contaminated by the world. Who have proposed to follow God no matter the cost, no matter the fire, no matter the cold shoulder. Because being Christian is not easy and less even when you follow the entire truth- the truth that no one wants to acknowledge. Truth is never popular, not even in the church. But be brave brethren. Be humble. At the end of the day, we want God’s approval, not man’s. Will you be part of the remnant? Exodus 12:3-14 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a ] for his family, one for each household. 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. 9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs, and internal organs. 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. Passover Meal The Last Supper Matthew 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 1 9 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” The Last Supper Mark 12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” 16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.” The Last Supper Luke 7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked. 10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Worship God in Spirit and Truth You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit Body and Soul Narrow Gate & Path Key points about these verses: Nature of God: John 4:24 establishes that God is a Spirit, requiring spiritual worship. Guidance and Strength: Romans 8:26 highlights the Holy Spirit's role in assisting believers in prayer, even when they don't know what to ask for. Living a Christian Life: Galatians 5:16 encourages walking in the Spirit to resist fleshly desires. Respecting the Holy Spirit: Ephesians 4:30 warns against grieving the Holy Spirit, implying His personhood. Teaching and Remembrance: John 14:26 describes the Holy Spirit as the "Helper" who will teach and remind believers of Jesus' words. Spiritual sacrifices Do justice Do kindness and walk humbly with your God A broken spirit A broken and contrite heart Lear to do good Seek justice Defend the orphan Plead for the widow Love your neighbor as yourself The verse "Draw near to God and he will draw to you" is found in James 4:8 It is a promise highlighting that when individuals take steps to pursue a relationship with God—through prayer, repentance, and repentance—He responds by drawing near to them, offering intimacy, grace, and presence. Romans 10:10 states: "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." This verse highlights that salvation involves internal faith in Yeshua resurrection and external confession of Him as Lord, marking a move from legalism to grace. . Key Interpretations of Romans 10:10: Internal and External: It unites internal transformation with external testimony. Heart Belief (Justification): Faith in the heart refers to true, internal trust in God, which makes a person righteous (justified) in God’s sight. Mouth Confession (Salvation): Openly declaring that Jesus is Lord is the outward expression of that internal faith, leading to the assurance of salvation. Role of Grace: This verse underscores that salvation is a gift from God based on faith, not by works or personal performance The Absolute Requirement Romans 8:9 “If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him ” This is not a suggestion. It is a clear dividing line. E zekiel 36:27“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. ” The Holy Spirit was never given so we could continue living however we want. His primary work is to empower and cause us to obey the Father’s Torah.1 John 3:24“Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”You can only have confidence that the Spirit of God truly lives in you if you are actively keeping His commandments. Acts 5:32“And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”God does not give His Holy Spirit to the rebellious or the lawless. He gives the Spirit to those who obey Him The Primary Test from Scripture 1. Do you belong to Yeshua? (The foundational test) Romans 8:9 “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” If you truly belong to Yeshua (you have repented and trusted in Him), then you have the Spirit. But the next verses show how we can know it is real. 2. Is the Spirit causing you to obey God’s commandments? Ezekiel 36:27 “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.” This is one of the clearest promises in the New Covenant. The Holy Spirit’s job is not just to make us feel saved — He causes obedience to the Father’s Torah (statutes and judgments). 3. Do you keep His commandments? 1 John 3:24 “Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” John says this is how we know the Spirit is in us — by a lifestyle of keeping God’s commandments. 4. Has God given you the Spirit because you obey Him? Acts 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” Obedience and the presence of the Spirit go together. God does not give His Spirit to those who persist in rebellion and lawlessness. Additional Evidences (Supporting Signs) While obedience is the clearest biblical test, other signs often appear when the Spirit is truly at work: The fruit of the Spirit growing in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). A deepening love for God, His Word, and His ways. Conviction of sin when you disobey (the Spirit will not let you stay comfortable in sin). A desire and growing ability to walk in holiness rather than the desires of the flesh. A Straightforward Answer You can know you have the Spirit of Christ if: You truly belong to Yeshua, and Your life is marked by a real, growing obedience to the Father’s commandments (not perfect sinlessness, but a clear direction away from lawlessness and toward holiness). If someone claims to have the Spirit but continues living in open rebellion against God’s Torah with no conviction or desire to change, the Bible says that is a serious warning sign (see also 1 John 2:3-6 and Matthew 7:21-23). The Final Verdict To truly “belong to Him” is to be born again — not just in words, but with a total change of identity. You are transferred from the family of rebels on the Broad Way into the family of obedient sons and daughters on the Narrow Path. Here is the sobering test: If the Holy Spirit is not causing you to walk in the Father’s Torah — His statutes and judgments — then you are still ruling your own life. You may boast that you are “free” from the Law, but in reality you are “free” from the King’s authority, “free” from His protection, and outside the gates of the New Jerusalem. Yeshua warned: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom… but only he who does the will of My Father” (Matthew 7:21). The Process of Being Born Again (Including Baptism) Being born again is a supernatural work of God through His Holy Spirit. It is not earned by human effort, but it follows a clear biblical pattern. Here is the full process: Hearing the Word of God The process begins when a person hears the gospel — the good news that Yeshua the Messiah died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 10:17). Conviction by the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts the heart of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The person recognizes their rebellion against God’s Torah and their desperate need for forgiveness and a new heart. Repentance True repentance is a change of mind and direction. You turn away from sin and self-rule (the Broad Way of lawlessness) and turn toward God with a willingness to obey Him (Acts 3:19; Luke 13:3). Faith / Belief in Yeshua You place your full trust in Yeshua as Lord and Savior, believing that His blood cleanses you from all sin and His resurrection gives you new life (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16). The Miracle of New Birth (Regeneration) God sovereignly causes you to be born again by His Spirit. You receive a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26). The Holy Spirit comes to live inside you and begins to cause you to walk in the Father’s statutes and judgments (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:9). Water Baptism – The Outward Act of Obedience After being born again, the next step of obedience is water baptism. Baptism is not what saves you or causes the new birth, but it is the biblical way to publicly identify with Yeshua’s death, burial, and resurrection. “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Baptism is an act of burial (the old rebel life is buried) and resurrection (you rise to walk in newness of life). It is a public declaration: “I no longer belong to myself — I belong to Yeshua and His Kingdom.” Obedience as Ongoing Evidence The Holy Spirit now lives in you and produces fruit. You know the Spirit is truly in you because you keep God’s commandments and walk in His ways (1 John 3:24; Acts 5:32). A. The "Death" of the Old Man Born Again You cannot be "Born Again" until the "Old Man" (the rebel who hates the Sabbath and the Dietary Laws) dies. You must surrender your "opinion" to the King's Truth. The Broad Way: Tries to "add" Jesus to their old, lawless life. The Narrow Path: Buries the old life and rises as a New Creation. B. The "Implantation" of the Seed Peter says we are born again by the Incorruptible Seed of the Word (1 Peter 1:23). The Seed: The Torah (The Father's Instructions). The Growth: When the Spirit plants this seed in your heart, it must produce the Father's fruit. If you are born of a Holy Father, you will produce Holiness (Obedience). C. The "Sealing" (The Passport) The moment the Spirit enters, you are Sealed (Eph 1:13). This is your "Identification" for the New Jerusalem. The Proof: How do you know the "Transaction" happened? Ezekiel 36:27 says the Spirit will cause you to walk in His statutes. If you aren't walking in them, the transaction didn't take place. The Condensed "Born Again" Summary "Being Born Again is the moment you trade your 'Lawless Autonomy' for the King’s 'Spirit-Led Obedience.' It’s when the Holy Spirit moves in, kills the rebel in you, and starts rewriting the Father’s Torah on your heart so you can finally 'Hit the Mark' (Righteousness)." The "Attention-Grabbing" Question "If being Born Again means receiving a New Nature that loves the King’s Ways, then why are you still using your 'Grace' as a reason to keep the same 'Old Nature' that ignores His Sabbath and His Laws?" . The Transformation The New Nature: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Spirit and Water: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." — John 3:5 The Result: Obedience shifts from an external "rule" to an internal "desire," fulfilling the promise that the Law would be written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). The Transformation From Law to Heart: Obedience is no longer a struggle against your nature; it becomes the desire of your new nature. The Public Seal: Baptism serves as the official "crossing over" from the world's kingdom into God's Kingdom. The Result: Your internal spirit and external actions (Truth) finally align, allowing you to worship in a way that is both sincere and grounded in reality.

Nailed To The Cross The New Covenant Bottom of the page The New Covenant The Fulfillment of the Law The New Covenant Nailed to the cross Christ Redeemed Us nailed to the cross the law of the spirit and death is hung on the cross redeeming mankind from the curse of sin and death through his death on the cross. You've perfectly summarized a core doctrine of Christianity: redemption from the curse of sin and death through Jesus' death on the cross. Let's unpack what each part of that statement means in Christian theology: "Redeeming mankind": Redeem means to "buy back " or "pay a price for something lost or forfeited." In ancient times, it could refer to buying a slave's freedom or repurchasing property. In a spiritual sense, mankind was "lost" or "enslaved" to sin and its consequences. Jesus "bought back" humanity's freedom. "From the curse of sin and death": Sin: In Christianity, sin is not merely a mistake but an active rebellion against God's holy nature and perfect will. It's disobedience and a breaking of God's law. Curse of Sin : The Bible teaches that sin brought a curse upon creation and humanity. This curse manifests as: Spiritual Death: Separation from God, which is the ultimate source of life. Physical Death : The eventual cessation of biological life. Spiritual Bondage: The inability to overcome sin's power on one's own. Condemnation : The just judgment and punishment from a holy God. The "curse" also relates to the consequences described in Genesis 3 after the Fall – toil, pain, fractured relationships, and mortality. "Through his death on the cross": This is the means by which redemption is achieved. Atonement: Jesus, being fully God and fully man, lived a perfect, sinless life. His death on the cross is understood as a substitute (vicarious) atonement. He took upon Himself the penalty and punishment for humanity's sins, satisfying the demands of divine justice. Sacrifice: His death is seen as the ultimate sacrifice, the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Victory: While appearing to be a defeat, the cross is also understood as the place where Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness, cancelled the legal debt of sin, and ultimately triumphed over sin and death (especially when combined with His resurrection). In essence, because of sin, humanity was under a divine curse leading to death and separation from God. Jesus, by willingly dying on the cross, paid the ultimate price, thereby redeeming those who believe in Galatians 3:12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ 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.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. … COLOSSI ANS 2:13-15 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. New Covenant The New Covenant is a central concept in Christian theology, representing a fundamental shift in God's relationship with humanity, as promised in the Old Testament and established through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It stands in contrast to the Old Covenant (or Mosaic Covenant), which was established with Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai, centered on the Law. Here's a breakdown of the New Covenant: 1. Old Testament Prophecies of the New Covenant The idea of a "new covenant" was first prophesied in the Old Testament, most famously in: Jeremiah 31:31-34: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." Other prophets like Ezekiel also hint at a new spirit and new heart (e.g., Ezekiel 36:26-27). And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. These prophecies highlight the perceived failures of the Old Covenant (people broke it) and hint at a more internal, trans formative covenant. 2. Establishment of the New Covenant in Christ Christians believe the New Covenant was inaugurated by Jesus Christ through His life, death, and resurrection: His Blood: Jesus explicitly links the New Covenant to His blood during the Last Supper: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Luke 22:20; Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25). His sacrificial death is the basis for this new agreement. His Fulfillment of the Law: Jesus is seen as fulfilling the Old Covenant Law (Matthew 5:17), not abolishing it, but bringing it to its intended goal and perfection. He satisfied its righteous demands. His Resurrection and the Holy Spirit: The New Covenant is made effective through the power of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sent after His resurrection and ascension. 3. Key Characteristics of the New Covenant The New Covenant contrasts with the Old Covenant in several significant ways: Internal vs. External: The Law of the Old Covenant was primarily external, written on stone tablets. The New Covenant involves God's Law being written on the heart and mind (Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10), implying an internal transformation and desire to obey. Forgiveness of Sins: A central promise of the New Covenant is the forgiveness of sins, where God declares, "I will remember their sin no more" (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12). This forgiveness is achieved through Christ's sacrifice. Direct Access to God: Under the Old Covenant, access to God was mediated through priests and rituals. Under the New Covenant, believers have direct access to God through Christ (Hebrews 4:14-16, 10:19-22). Empowerment by the Holy Spirit: Instead of relying on human effort to keep the Law (which consistently failed), the New Covenant provides the Holy Spirit to empower believers to live righteously and obey God's will (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:3-4). Relationship of Grace and Faith: While the Old Covenant had elements of grace, the New Covenant is overwhelmingly characterized by grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than through perfect adherence to legalistic rituals or commands (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-26). Universal Scope: While the Old Covenant was primarily with the nation of Israel, the New Covenant extends to all who believe, both Jews and Gentiles, forming a "spiritual Israel" or the Church (Galatians 3:28-29; Romans 10:12). 4. Significance for Christians For Christians, the New Covenant signifies: Salvation : It's the basis for salvation and reconciliation with God. New Life: It inaugurates a new way of life characterized by an internal transformation and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. Fulfillment: I t demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His ancient promises. Foundation of the Church: It is the foundation upon which the Christian Church is built. In summary, the New Covenant, established through Jesus Christ, is understood as a superior and everlasting covenant that brings forgiveness, internal transformation, direct access to God, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit, all based on God's grace and received through faith.

Kaj li diris al li:Viaj preĝoj kaj via almozo supreniris kiel memoraĵon antaŭ Dio. 5 Kaj nun sendu virojn al Jafo, kaj venigu unu Simonon, kiu estas nomata Petro. 6 Li loĝas ĉe unu Simon, tanisto, kies domo estas ĉe la maro.” 7 Kiam la anĝelo, kiu parolis al li, foriris, li alvokis du el siaj servantoj kaj pian soldaton el inter tiuj, kiuj lin ĉeestis, 8 kaj rakontinte ĉion al ili, li sendis ilin al Jafo. La Vizio de Petro 9 La sekvantan tagon, dum ili vojagxis kaj alproksimigxis al la urbo, Petro supreniris sur la tegmenton cxirkaux la sesa horo.b preĝi. 10 Kaj li malsatis kaj volis ion manĝi, sed dum ili preparis ĝin, li falis en trancon 11 kaj vidis la cxielon malfermitan kaj ion similan al granda lituko malsuprenirantan, malsuprenirantan per siaj kvar anguloj sur la teron. 12 En ĝi estis ĉiaj bestoj kaj reptilioj kaj birdoj de la aero. 13 Kaj venis al li voĉo: “Leviĝu, Petro; mortigu kaj manĝu.” 14 Sed Petro diris: Neniel, Sinjoro; ĉar mi neniam manĝis ion ordinaran aŭ malpuran.” 15 Kaj la voĉo denove venis al li duan fojon: "Kion Dio purigis, ne nomu ordinara." 16 Ĉi tio okazis trifoje, kaj la afero tuj estis levita al la ĉielo. 17 Kaj dum Petro estis interne konfuzita pri tio, kion povus signifi la vizio, kiun li vidis, jen la viroj, kiuj estis senditaj de Kornelio, demandis pri la domo de Simon, staris ĉe la pordego 18 kaj vokis por demandi, ĉu Simon, kiu estis nomata Petro, loĝas tie. 19 Kaj dum Petro pripensis la vizion, la Spirito diris al li:Jen tri viroj serĉas vin. 20 Leviĝu kaj malsupreniru kaj akompanu ilin senhezite,c ĉar mi sendis ilin.” 21 Kaj Petro malsupreniris al la viroj, kaj diris:Mi estas tiu, kiun vi serĉas. Kio estas la kialo de via veno?” 22 Kaj ili diris: Kornelio, centestro, homo justa kaj tima Dio, pri kiu la tuta juda nacio bone parolas, estis ordonita de sankta anĝelo, ke li alvoku vin, ke vi venu en lian domon kaj aŭdu, kion vi havas. diri.” 23 Do li invitis ilin eniri por esti liaj gastoj. La sekvantan tagon li leviĝis kaj foriris kun ili, kaj kelkaj el la fratoj el Jafo akompanis lin. 24 Kaj en la sekvanta tago ili eniris Cezarean. Kornelio atendis ilin kaj kunvokis siajn parencojn kaj proksimajn amikojn. 25 Kiam Petro eniris, Kornelio renkontis lin kaj falis antaux liajn piedojn kaj adorklinigxis al li. 26 Sed Petro levis lin, dirante:Stariĝu; Ankaŭ mi estas viro.” 27 Kaj dum li parolis kun li, li eniris kaj trovis multajn personojn kolektitajn. 28 Kaj li diris al ili:“ Vi mem scias, kiel kontraŭleĝe estas por judo asocii aŭ viziti iun ajn de alia nacio, but Dio montris al mi, ke mi ne nomu homon malpura aŭ malpura. 29 Kiam do oni vokis min, mi venis sen kontrauxo. Mi demandas do kial vi vokis min.” 30 Kaj Kornelio diris: Antaŭ kvar tagoj, ĉirkaŭ ĉi tiu horo, mi preĝis en mia domo je la naŭa horo,d kaj jen viro staris antaŭ mi en helaj vestoj 31 kaj diris: Kornelio, via pregxo estas auxdata kaj via almozo estas memorata antaux Dio. 32 Sendu do al Jafo, kaj petu Simonon, kiu estas nomata Petro. Li loĝas en la domo de Simon, tanisto, ĉe la maro.' 33 Do mi tuj alvokis vin, kaj vi bonvolis veni. Nun ni ĉiuj estas ĉi tie antaŭ Dio, por aŭdi ĉion, kion vi estas ordonita de la Eternulo. Gentiles Aŭskultu la Bonan Novaĵon 34 Do Petro malfermis sian buŝon kaj diris: “Vere mi komprenas, ke Dio ne montras partecon, 35 sed en cxiu nacio cxiu, kiu timas Lin kaj faras juste, estas akceptebla por Li. 36 Pri la vorto, kiun li sendis al Izrael, predikante la evangelion de paco per Jesuo Kristo (li estas Sinjoro de ĉiuj), 37 vi mem scias, kio okazis en la tuta Judujo, komencante de Galileo post la bapto, kiun Johano proklamis: 38 kiel Dio sanktoleis Jesuon la Nazareton per la Sankta Spirito kaj per potenco. Li cxirkauxiris, farante bonon kaj sanigante cxiujn, kiuj estis premataj de la diablo, cxar Dio estis kun li. 39 Kaj ni estas atestantoj pri ĉio, kion li faris kaj en la lando de la Judoj kaj en Jerusalem. Ili mortigis lin pendigante lin sur arbo, 40 sed Dio levis lin en la tria tago kaj aperigis lin, 41 ne al la tuta popolo, sed al ni, kiuj estis elektitaj de Dio kiel atestantoj, kiuj manĝis kaj trinkis kun li post kiam li releviĝis el la mortintoj. 42 Kaj li ordonis al ni prediki al la popolo kaj atesti, ke li estas de Dio destinita por esti la juĝisto de la vivantoj kaj de la mortintoj. 43 Pri li ĉiuj profetoj atestas, ke ĉiu, kiu kredas al li, ricevas pardonon de pekoj per sia nomo. La Sankta Spirito falas sur la nacianojn 44 Dum Petro ankoraŭ diris tion, la Sankta Spirito falis sur ĉiujn, kiuj aŭdis la vorton. 45 Kaj la kredantoj el la cirkumciditoj, kiuj venis kun Petro, miregis, ĉar la donaco de la Sankta Spirito estis elverŝita eĉ sur la nacianojn. 46 Ĉar ili aŭdis ilin paroli per lingvoj kaj glori Dion. Tiam Petro deklaris, 47 "Ĉu iu povas reteni akvon por bapti ĉi tiujn homojn, kiuj ricevis la Sanktan Spiriton same kiel ni?" 48 Kaj li ordonis, ke ili estu baptitaj en la nomo de Jesuo Kristo. Tiam ili petis lin resti dum kelkaj tagoj. Agoj 10: La Vizio de Petro - 119 Ministerioj Petro Klarigas Liajn Agojn 11 La apostoloj kaj la kredantoj en la tuta Judujo auxdis, ke ankaux la nacianoj ricevis la vorton de Dio. 2 Kaj kiam Petro supreniris Jerusalemon, la cirkumciditaj kredantoj lin kritikis, 3 kaj diris: Vi iris en la domon de necirkumciditoj kaj manĝis kun ili. 4 Kaj Petro rakontis al ili la tutan historion, komencante de la komenco: 5 “Mi estis en la urbo Jafo, preĝanta, kaj en senmoveco mi vidis vizion. Mi vidis ion similan al granda litotuko, kiu malsupreniris el la ĉielo per ĝiaj kvar anguloj, kaj ĝi venis malsupren tien, kie mi estis. 6 Mi enrigardis ĝin, kaj mi vidis kvarpiedojn de la tero, sovaĝajn bestojn, rampaĵojn kaj birdojn. 7 Tiam mi aŭdis voĉon dirantan al mi: Leviĝu, Petro. Mortigu kaj manĝu.' 8 Mi respondis: Ne, Sinjoro! Nenio malpura aŭ malpura iam eniris mian buŝon.' 9 Kaj la vocxo parolis el la cxielo duan fojon:Ne nomu malpura ion, kion Dio purigis. 10 Tio okazis trifoje, kaj tiam ĉio denove estis tirita supren al la ĉielo. 11 Ĝuste tiam haltis ĉe la domo, kie mi loĝis, tri viroj, kiuj estis senditaj al mi el Cezarea. 12 La Spirito diris al mi, ke mi ne hezitu iri kun ili. Ankaŭ ĉi tiuj ses fratoj iris kun mi, kaj ni eniris en la domon de la viro. 13 Li rakontis al ni, ke li vidis anĝelon aperi en sia domo kaj diri: Sendu al Jafo por Simon, kiu estas nomata Petro. 14 Li donos al vi mesaĝon, per kiu vi kaj via tuta familio estos savitaj. 15 Dum mi komencis paroli, la Sankta Spirito venis sur ilin, kiel li venis sur nin en la komenco. 16 Tiam mi rememoris, kion diris la Sinjoro: Johano baptis pera ] akvo, sed vi estos baptita per[b ] la Sankta Spirito.' 17 Se do Dio donis al ili la saman donacon, kiun Li donis al ni, kiuj kredis al la Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo, kiu estas mi, por pensi, ke mi povas stari en la vojo de Dio? 18 Kaj auxdinte tion, ili ne havis plu kontrauxstarojn kaj lauxdis Dion, dirante: Do ecx al la nacianoj Dio donis penton, kiu kondukas al vivo. La Eklezio en Antioĥio 19 Kaj tiuj, kiuj estis disjxetitaj de la persekuto, kiu okazis, kiam Stefano estis mortigita, vojaĝis ĝis Fenicio, Kipro kaj Antioĥia, disvastigante la vorton nur inter Judoj. 20 Tamen kelkaj el ili, viroj el Kipro kaj Kireno, iris al Antiohxia kaj komencis paroli ankaux al Grekoj, dirante al ili la evangelion pri la Sinjoro Jesuo. 21 La mano de la Eternulo estis kun ili, kaj granda nombro da homoj kredis kaj turnis sin al la Eternulo. 22 Kaj sciigo pri tio atingis la eklezion en Jerusalem, kaj ili sendis Barnabason al Antiohxia. 23 Kiam li alvenis kaj vidis, kion faris la graco de Dio, li ĝojis kaj kuraĝigis ilin ĉiujn resti fidelaj al la Eternulo per ilia tuta koro. 24 Li estis bona homo, plena de la Sankta Spirito kaj fido, kaj granda nombro da homoj estis kondukitaj al la Sinjoro. 25 Tiam Barnabas iris al Tarso, por serĉi Saulon; 26 kaj trovinte lin, li venigis lin al Antioĥia. Do dum tuta jaro Barnabas kaj Saŭlo renkontiĝis kun la eklezio kaj instruis multe da homoj. La disĉiploj estis nomitaj kristanoj unue en Antioĥio. 27 Dum tiu tempo kelkaj profetoj malsupreniris el Jerusalem al Antiohxia. 28 Unu el ili, nomata Agabo, stariĝis kaj per la Spirito antaŭdiris, ke forta malsato disvastiĝos sur la tutan Romanan mondon. (Tio okazis dum la reĝado de Klaŭdio.) 29 La disĉiploj, laŭ la povo, decidis helpi la fratojn kaj fratinojn, kiuj loĝas en Judujo. 30 Tion ili faris, sendante sian donacon al la presbiteroj per Barnabas kaj Sauxlo.

"And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of YEHOVAH and do them, and that you [may] not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, What does the tzitzit symbolize? Each tassel has eight threads (when doubled over) and five sets of knots, totaling 13. The sum of all numbers is 613, traditionally the number of commandments in the Torah. This reflects the concept that donning a garment with tzitzit reminds its wearer of all Torah commandments, as specified in Numbers 15:39. Tassels and Tzitzit Gods commandments 613 OT 1050 NT Kvastoj kaj Tzitzit Nombroj 15:38 - "Diru al la Izraelidoj: Diru al ili, ke ili faru kvastojn sur la anguloj de iliaj vestoj en iliaj generacioj, kaj metu bluan fadenon en la kvastojn de la anguloj. - "Kaj vi havos la kvaston, por ke vi rigardu ĝin kaj memoru ĉiujn ordonojn de la Eternulo kaj plenumu ilin, kaj por ke vi ne sekvu la malĉastaĵon, al kiu kliniĝas via koro kaj viaj okuloj; - "kaj por ke vi memoru kaj plenumu ĉiujn Miajn ordonojn kaj estu sanktaj por via Dio. Do tio estas la ordono. Tion oni ordonas al ni obei. Kaj plej multaj homoj eĉ ne rimarkas, ke ĉi tiu ordono eĉ ekzistas en la Skribo. Sed ĝi estas tie. Nun kelkaj homoj kredas, ke ĉi tiu aparta ordono nun estas flankenlasita aŭ abolita aŭ forigita; ni ne plu devas fari ĝin ĉar nun ni havas la Sanktan Spiriton por memorigi nin pri la ordonoj kaj ni ne bezonas aron da ŝnuroj por memorigi nin pri ordonoj. Sed ni rigardu ilian rezonadon dum minuto. Jesua ja diris: John 14:26 - "Sed la Helpanto, la Sankta Spirito, kiun la Patro sendos en mia nomo, Li instruos vin cxion kaj rememorigos al vi cxion, kion Mi diris al vi. Tiel, ili kredas, tiuj, kiuj rigardas. jen kiel aboliciita, ke la Sankta Spirito nun estas tio, kion la Eternulo donis al ni por memorigi la aferojn, kiujn oni ordonas al ni fari.Sed ni devas zorgi pri uzado de homa rezonado por skrapi a aboli la ordonojn de la Eternulo.Ni devas estu vere singarda pri tio. Nur ĉar la Sankta Spirito kapablas rememorigi la Vorton de Jehovo, tio ne signifas, ke ni tute ne plu havos iun ajn memorigilojn pri la Vorto de Jehovo kaj ke la Sankta Spirito anstataŭas ĉion. Ĉar la vero estas, ni havas ĉiajn memorigilojn en la Skribo. Tizitiz The wearing of tzitzit, is a constant reminder and an awareness to others of our obedience to God's commands. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Exodus 12:49 The knots on the tzitzit represent six hundred and thirteen commandments. Some are for men, women, children, Priests, and the temple Numbers 15:39. The White Cords Every time you look up and see white clouds you are to remember to be holy just as He is Holy, you are to refuse to practice sinning God only gives His Spirit to those who refuse to practice sinning and obey His commandments. 1 Peter 1:16 1 John 3:4T The Blue cord reminds us of the ocean, sky, and God's throne. It also reminds us of our personal relationship with God. blue is the color of God's Glory. The Chain represents bondage to sin, The Spirit first convicts people of their sin, bringing to mind God's standards and leading them to repentance. God restrains sin through conscience Yeshua wore the tizitzit as of obediently to God's commands.

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. Drawing from both the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and the Greek Scriptures (New Testament), it outlines how various modern ecclesiastical customs stand under the "Transgression Test." 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
