The TORAH is a hebrew word meaning INSTRUCTION.
Thank God for His instruction.
Yahshua said:
They that hear and obey the WORD shall be blessed.

America removed the 10 commandments from schools ...

The Supreme Court compounded its godless and criminal misconduct by banning the Ten Commandments and its moral precepts from classrooms in 1980. Their reasoning was fantastically absurd ...

“[I]f the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments,” which, the Court said, is “not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause.”

Call upon Yahshua before it’s TOO LATE!
The daily sacrifice is about to be taken away! (Dan:12, Mat:24

You have provided a gem of truth. Blessed are they that have ears that SHEMA (Hear and obey)
Shema Y’srael! YHVH is 1!
There are many rewards in the spiritual realm when you study the proverbs to understand the perfect will of the Father.
HalleluYah!

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unset-apart, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of YHWH; Having a form of reverence, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(2Ti 3:1-7)

Dear Hostage,

In short, it’s talking about titles. Don’t be called Rabbi (Master, Teacher) - don’t call any man by the title father.

My father died when I was 15. My father is not looking down on me but in the grave.

I had a priest when I was an alter boy and his name was Kalinoski. But we were forced (against the WORD) to call him father.

It’s either the way the Messiah taught or not.

As He says, I would that you were hot or cold, but since you are lukewarm I will spit you out.

We must get the fire burning inside to please the Most High and be blessed with His Holy Spirit to maintain the relationship.

He said: Keep my commandments and I will pray the Father and He will send you the Comforter.

Believing this means, you read in the Holy Scriptures what we must do to observe Sabbath.

Blessed are they that hear the WORD of God and perform it.

It’s painful to confront falsehoods in our life - extremely so when there are other friends involved who will not share this sentiment.
Ultimately, the Messiah said He came not to bring peace but a sword. To divide those who are seeking to enter the kingdom and those who are not.

Amen

Dear Hostage,

In this, you are relying upon the will of men and not the will of the Father.

Trusting in the WORD is what the relationship with the Father is all about.

You cannot serve the traditions of man and the Creator. You have to make the choice to follow Him only. Then the WORD makes sense everywhere you read.

Yahshua (The Most High, YHWH) said: Call no man father. I believe it and will maintain faith that the WORD is true and those who keep it, guard it or perform it will be blessed and considered in the flock of Y’srael.

Amen

This is an interesting verse. It was just talked about by Michael Rood (I don’t agree w/ everything he teaches but he is sincere and has a lot of truth and a great way of teaching so people grasp it) and Nehemiah Gordon(the Kaarite Jew who doesn’t follow the traditions of the rabinate that believers are praying for to know Yahshua) who is an authority on hebrew texts, point out that the “notion that Messiah followed the Rabbi’s and taught others to follow their every word” is preposterous as Messiah went out of His way to disrespect their traditions and philosophies of men.

That being said, it would be good to check out what they have to say on this issue.

It begins at about 15:26 or so.
There are a few issues in the translation of some verses in the back of the book. Easily discerned and understood correctly if we apply the rest of the book.

Thanks for posting. Debating in a humble manner is a way to learn. I grew up in the RCC so am very aware of it. It's going to take each one of us the individual effort to find the truth as the Most High is presenting it. I've learned over the years, that the words in the Holy Scriptures are there for us to trust. If I put the WORD above all teachers and teachings, I have done what He is saying is the key to walking with Him. When it says: My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. (Pro 3:1-8) I began keeping the 7th day sabbath 23 years ago and have not turned away from guarding it all these years. I proved time and time again that it was proper to keep it and that it brings spiritual blessings. He is directing my path. Thank You Father! Thanks for adding what you did. It adds to the point I am making which I pray that those who are seeking to remain in the land shall ask the Father in heaven to show them the way. Shalom alechem

Interesting ideas, and although I might not disagree with their findings, I am leary of anyone that asks people to call them “Father” since the Messiah clearly said to not do exactly that. if they don’t repent from that, why follow them?

Mat 23:9  And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 

Aliens, e.t.’s = demons

Good morning,

May I offer some information about the Holy Spirit?

Yahshua did not tell Nicodemus that he had to physically die to enter the kingdom. Although this is true, it's not the intended message or take away here.

Yahshua was saying that in order to know the will of the Father one had to discern the spirits, particularly paying attention to the Fathers Spirit. Hearing the sound of the wind and not knowing which direction it's coming from is an example to know what it's like "perceiving" the Holy Spirit.

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. (Isa 30:20-21)

The process of sin is something you should consider to better understand the above.

Sin takes place after someone purposes to go against the commandments in their mind.

The process of sin begins in our head (mind, heart, spirit).......

James 1:14 - But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. James 1:15 - Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

From the time a certain temptation enters our mind(the wiles of the devil), It goes through a process in our mind, and the way in which we then react to it, can cause that thought or temptation to become a sin,

Prov 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Mat 5:27-28)

....or a moment of "OVERCOMING"!

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Eph 6:10-13)

Amen

Thank you SirLurkedalot, and to all have bid me peace.
Shalom alechem

You’re in serious error.

You’re relying upon the traditions of men.
People who set apart the 7th day Sabbath are keeping the WORD as Yahshua commanded His “followers”.

Luk 23:54  And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 
Luk 23:55  And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 
Luk 23:56  And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. 

His sheep hear His voice.. and a stranger they will not heed...

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
Luk 8:19  Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 
Luk 8:20  And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 
Luk 8:21  And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. 

The TRUTH is found in the WORD, ONLY. You should heed that.. and this:

Pro_30:5  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Pro 30:6  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 

Yes..

Luk_4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
(1Jn 2:1-6)

Thanks for all the blessings from am Y’srael here in this forum. :)
HalleluYah!

If you step out and do this:

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. (Pro 3:1-8)

He will surely bless you.

amen

Wherever I am I’ll praise Him
Whenever I can I’ll praise Him
For His LOVE surrounds me like the sea
I’ll praise the name of Y’shua
lift up the name of Y’shua
for the name of Y’shua lifted me
I go to the ROCK of my salvation
The stone the builders rejected
I go to the MOUNTAIN and the MOUNTAIN stands by me
when all the world’s on sinking sand
On YAH that SOLID ROCK I’ll stand
When I need shelter from the storm I go to the ROCK

Astonishing claims by Y’shua(Jesus):

Y’shua(Jesus):
“If you love me, keep my commandments.”

Y’shua(Jesus):
“Before Abraham existed, I existed.”

He is;
possessing all authority (power) in heaven and earth (Mt 26:24, 28:18; Lk 10:22; Jn 13:3, 13)

equal with God (Jn 5:18, 8:19, 12:44-45, 14:7-9, 16:15, 17:10);

Always does what is pleasing to the Father:
i.e., doing what the Father does (Jn 5:19)

as the Father works, so the Son works (miracles) - (Jn 5:17)

as the Father gives life, so the Son gives life (Jn 5:21)

as the Father is judge, so the Son is judge (Jn 5:22)

as the Father is to be honored, so the Son is to be honored (Jn 5:23),

as the Father has life in himself, so the Son has life in himself (Jn 5:26),

as the Father sends with all authority and power, so the Son sends with all authority and power (Jn 20:21; Mt 26:24),

as the Father confers the kingdom, so the Son confers the kingdom (Lk 22:29),

as the Father is Lawgiver, so the Son is Lawgiver (Mt 5:23-47, 12:7-8; 19:9, 21:23-27, Chp 23)

Thank you Father! Thank you Y’shua

Be not surprised at the tales they now tell...
It’s going to get worse, soon...

Rev 16:13  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 

Rather, blessed are they that hear the WORD of God and DO IT.
Then, you don’t need all the drivel associated with trying to pretend you’re Messiah’s because everyone knows that those who continue in sin - INIQUITY - will be told...

Depart from me, ye worker’s of iniquity.

Greetings,
Thank you for posting proverbs 7.

01 My son, keep my words,
00 And treasure my commands within you.
02 Keep my commands and live,
00 And my law as the apple of your eye.

I began keeping the 7th day sabbath a little over 22 years ago. I cannot look back and am grateful to the Almighty for showing me the way.

I pray that you also find the blessings of setting apart the sabbath, thereby seeing how the Holy Scriptures open up to you as though a great veil had been lifted.

Peace

Yahshua claimed to be YHWH.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Yahushua said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Yahushua hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
(Joh 8:56-59)

Yahshua said, keep my commandments. He promised to send to an individual the Holy Spirit if they would do it.

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
(Joh 14:15-18)

The sabbath is on the 7th day of the week. It has never been changed and keeping it, guarding it as commanded to us brings a bountiful harvest of blessings.

> It’s a SIGN (TOKEN) of the PERPETUAL covenant (Agreement) you have entered with the Almighty.
> It has no expiration date. (perpetual covenant)
> Almighty God wrote these words with His own finger in stone. He never changes and He never changed the commandments.

Mal 3:6 For I am YHWH, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am YHWH that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is set-apart unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, set-apart to YHWH: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 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 for ever: for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
(Exo 31:12-18)
