All Scripture is “God-breathed” .Scripture cannot be broken .No letter or stroke shall pass away .The spirit will guide you into all the truth .God’s word is settled in Heaven forever .The word of Yehovah will stand forever .Gods words brings light. God says: Your Pastor says that you are not under the judgment of God's laws His statutes and Sabbaths they have been removed and done away with, fulfilled by Jesus. No law requires no mercy no need for Repentance. Grace and Salvation mean nothing. 神は言う: すべての聖書は「神の息吹」です テモテ第二 3:16 聖書を破ることはできません ヨハネ 10:35 文字も筆跡も過ぎ去ってはならない マタイ 5:18 御霊はあなたをすべての真理に導きます ヨハネ 16:13 神の言葉は永遠に天に定着する 詩篇 19:89 エホバの言葉は永遠に立つ イザ 40:8 神の言葉は光をもたらす 詩篇 119:130 私の民は知識の欠如から滅ぼされています。 「あなたが知識を拒絶したので、私もあなたを私の祭司として拒絶します。あなたがあなたの神の律法を無視したので、私もあなたの子供たちを無視します.ホセ4:6 民数記 23:19 神は人ではないので、嘘をつきません。彼は人間ではないので、考えを変えません。彼はこれまでに話し、行動しなかったことがありますか? あなたの牧師は、法律は死んだと言っています。 神はこう言います： 伝道の書 12:13 以上が話のすべてです。これが私の最終的な結論です。エホバを恐れ、その命令に従います。これはすべての人の義務だからです。 箴言 28:9 耳をそむけて律法を聞かない者は、その祈りさえ憎むべきものとなる。 箴言 10:8 心の賢い者は命令を受け入れるが、口うるさい愚かな者は破滅する。 マタイによる福音書 5:17 わたしが律法や預言者たちを廃止するために来たなどと考えてはなりません。私はそれらを廃止するために来たのではなく、それらを実現するために来ました。 18 まことにあなたがたに言いますが、天と地が滅びるまでは、すべてが成し遂げられるまで、律法から一点一画、一筆一画が消えることはありません。 19 ですから、これらの戒めの最も小さいものを一つでも破って、他の人にも同様に行うように教える者は、天国で最も小さい者と呼ばれますが、それを実践して教える者は、天国で偉大な者と呼ばれます。 ローマ人への手紙 2:13 義とされるのは、律法を聞く人ではなく、律法を行う人です。 ヨハネの第一の手紙 2:4 「わたしは彼を知っている」と言いながら、その戒めを守らない人は、偽り者であり、真理はその人のうちにありません。 5しかし、だれでも神の言葉を守るなら、神の愛はその人のうちで真に完成されています。これによって、私たちは彼の中にいることを知っています: James 1: 25 しかし、完全な自由の律法を熱心に調べ、そうし続ける人 - 忘れがちな聞き手ではなく、効果的な実行者 - 彼は何において祝福されるでしょう.します。 詩篇 19:7 主の律法は完全であり、魂をさわやかにします。主の法令は信頼できるものであり、賢明なことをシンプルにします。 8 主の教えは正しく、心に喜びを与えます。主の命令は輝き、目に光を与えます。9 主への恐れは純粋で、永遠に耐えます。純金;それらは蜜よりも甘い、蜂の巣からとれる蜜よりも甘い。 12 しかし、誰が自分の過ちを見分けることができますか? 申命記 11:19 それをあなたの子供たちに教えなさい。家にいるとき、移動中、就寝時、起床時にそれらについて話してください。 エレミヤ 31:33 「これは、その後、わたしがイスラエルの人々と結ぶ契約である」と主は宣言されます。 「わたしの律法を彼らの心に刻み、彼らの心に書き記す。私は彼らの神となり、彼らは私の民となる 2 テモテ 3:16 聖書はすべて神の息吹によるものであり、教え、叱責し、正し、義を訓練するのに役立ちます。 神の完全な律法がまだ損なわれていないことを合理的な疑いを超えて証明する 20 以上の聖句があります。 （「法律は本当に廃止されたのか？」を確認してください） あなたの牧師は、法律はあなたの首にかかるくびきだと言います。 神の言葉: 申命記 4:8 きょう、わたしがあなたの前に置いたこのすべての律法のように、これほどまでに正しい掟と法規を持っている国がどこにあるでしょうか。 申命記 30:11 私が今日あなたに与えるこの命令は、あなたが理解するのが難しくなく、手の届かないものでもありません。 黙示録 22:14 幸いなことに、彼の戒めを守る人たちは、いのちの木を得る権利を持ち、門を通って町にはいることができます。 あなたの牧師は、安息日が変更されたと言っています。 エゼキエル書 22:26,27 「彼女の祭司たち（あなたがたの牧師）は私の律法に暴力を振るい、私の聖なるものを冒涜しました。彼らは聖なるものと俗なるものを区別せず、汚れたものと汚れたものとの違いを教えませんでした。 27 「彼女の中にいる彼女の王子たちは、不正な利益を得るために血を流し、命を破壊することによって、獲物を引き裂くオオカミのようなものです..それを変更する聖書全体の節） Ezekiel 20:12 そして、彼らと私との間のしるしとして、安息日を彼らに与えた。それは、わたしが主であることを彼らに思い起こさせるためでした。 聖なる。 (あなたの個人的な聖書の中に、神の聖なる安息日を変更したり取り除いたりする聖句は一つもありません) あなたの牧師は言います：イエスはすべての肉を清く宣言しました 神は言います： マルコ 7:19 「それは彼らの心には入らず、胃に入り、体から出ていくからです。」 教会の教義は、聖書に次のように付け加えました。よく考えてみてください。もしイエスがこのように言われたら、彼は私たちの救い主ではありません。彼は罪を犯し、食事の指示に関する神の命令を破るでしょう。他のすべての聖句と矛盾する聖句に遭遇した場合は、用心してください。 (聖書は、人間ではなく食物とは何かを明らかにしている) イザヤ書 65:1 わたしは反抗的な民に、一日中手を差し伸べた。 3 人？わたしの面前で絶え間なくわたしを怒らせる者。 4 楽園でいけにえをささげ、れんがの祭壇の上で香をたき、 4 墓の中に座し、墓の中で夜を過ごす者。彼らは豚の肉を食べ、忌まわしきものの肉汁を器に盛っている。 イザヤ書 66:16 主は火と剣によってすべての肉を裁かれます。主に殺される者は多い。 17 「自分を聖別し、自分を清める者は、真ん中にある偶像の後に園に行き、豚の肉と憎むべきものとネズミを食べて、一緒に消費される」と主は言われる. あなたの牧師はこう言います：「ですから、私の判断では、神に立ち返る異邦人を困難にすべきではありません。 神はこう言います： Acts 15:19 したがって、神に立ち返る異邦人に迷惑をかけるべきではないというのが私の判断です。 …20 代わりに、偶像によって汚染された食物、性的不道徳、首を絞められた動物の肉、および血を避けるように書いて伝える必要があります.21 モーセは古代からすべての都市で宣言されており、安息日ごとにシナゴーグ。」  私たちのほとんどは、21 節を読み飛ばします。これは聖書の最初の 5 冊のトーラーです。聖書の勉強会でこれを聞いたことがありますか。救いに必要なことはこれだけです。 あなたの牧師はこう言います： 律法はユダヤ人だけのものです。 神の言葉: ガラテヤ人への手紙 3:26 あなたがたは皆、キリスト・イェシュアへの信仰によって神の子です。 28 ユダヤ人でもギリシア人（またはキリスト教徒）の奴隷でも自由人でも、男性でも女性でもありません。なぜなら、あなたがたはキリスト・イェシュアにあって一つだからです。 ローマ人への手紙 8:7 というのは、罪深い性質は常に神に敵対しているからです。神の律法に従ったことは一度もありません。そのため、依然として罪深い性質に支配されている人は、決して神を喜ばせることができません。 あなたの牧師はこう言います： パウロは、あなたは律法ではなく恵みの下にあると言っています。 パウロは次のように述べています。 ガラテヤ人への手紙 5:17 というのは、肉は御霊に反するものを切望し、御霊は肉に反するものを切望するからです。 …18 しかし、御霊に導かれているなら、律法の下にいるわけではありません。 コリント人への第一の手紙 11:1 私がキリストに倣うように、あなたがたも私に倣うべきです。 使徒行伝 24:14 「しかし、あなたがたに告白しますが、彼らが分派と呼んでいる道に従って、私は先祖たちのエロヒムを崇拝し、律法と預言者の書に書かれているすべてのことはキリストのものであると信じています。あなたはアブラハムの子孫 ● ローマ人への手紙 8:14 神の御霊に導かれる者は皆、神の子です。 あなたの牧師はこう言います： 何を食べたり飲んだりするか、どのように祝日や神の安息日を祝うかによって人々を判断してはなりません。 パウロは次のように述べています。 コロサイ人への手紙 2:16 ですから、だれもあなたがたを肉や飲み物で裁いたり、祝日や新月や安息日について判断したりしてはなりません。しかし体はキリストのものです。 神は彼の子供たちに、異邦人に神の律法と彫像を守る従順さを判断させないように言っています。これらはすべて千年紀に守られるでしょう。この箇所は、異教の慣習から新たにキリストの交わりに入ったコロサイ人への手紙から引用されています。パウロは、異教徒の崇拝者の批判に耳を傾けないように、新しい追随者に警告しています。異教の崇拝は神の律法と法令に反する あなたの牧師はこう言います： 私たちは、法律を守る必要のない新しい契約の下にあります。 神はこう言います： エレミヤ 31:33 「これは、その後、わたしがイスラエルの人々と結ぶ契約である」と主は宣言されます。 「わたしの律法を彼らの心に刻み、彼らの心に書き記す。私は彼らの神となり、彼らは私の民となる エレミヤ 31:31 見よ、わたしがイスラエルの家、ユダの家と新しい契約を結ぶ日が来る、と主は言われる ヘブライ人への手紙 8:10 主が宣言されたその日の後、これがわたしがイスラエルの家と結ぶ契約である。わたしの律法を彼らの心に刻み、彼らの心に刻み込む。わたしは彼らの神となり、彼らはわたしの民となる。 エゼキエル 36:26-27 わたしはあなたに新しい心を与え、あなたの中に新しい霊を入れる。私はあなたの肉から石の心を取り除き、あなたに肉の心を与える.わたしはあなたの中にわたしの 23 の霊を置き、あなたにわたしの規定に従って歩ませ、あなたはわたしの裁きを守り、それを実行するだろう。 あなたの牧師は言います：律法は十字架に釘付けにされました 神は言います： ローマ人への手紙 8:2 というのは、キリスト・イェシュアにあって、いのちの御霊の法則が、あなたを罪と死の法則から解放したからです。 ガラテヤ人への手紙 5:18 しかし、御霊に導かれているなら、律法の下にはいません。 「罪と死の律法」は、私たちが束縛/呪いの下にあることを指摘することによって、私たちをキリストに護衛または連れて行きます。 「罪と死の法則」が、私たちが呪われて束縛されていることを教えてくれるまで、私たちは救い主としての信仰をもってメシアに来ることができません.その知識がなければ、私たちは彼に来る理由がありません。 あなたの牧師はこう言います： イスラエルが神の律法を守ることができなかったので、神は異邦人のためにすべてを変えました。 これらの質問に答えるとき、あなたは神の性質を判断していることを心に留めておいてください。 神の言葉は矛盾していますか？ 神の言葉は永遠に続くのですか？ 神は、最初に預言者を通してそれを明らかにせずに何かをしますか? 神は嘘をつきますか？ 神は心を変えますか？神はいつも約束を守ってくださいますか。 コリントの信徒への手紙一 14:33 なぜなら、神は混乱の創始者ではなく、すべての聖徒の教会のように平和の創始者だからです。 イザヤ書 40:8 草は枯れ、花はしおれましたが、私たちの神の言葉は永遠に続きます。 ヨハネによる福音書 10:35 もし彼が彼らを神々と呼んだなら、彼らに神の言葉が臨み、聖書は破ることができなかった。 1 ペテロ 1:25 しかし、主の言葉はとこしえに存続した。そして、これが福音によってあなたがたに宣べ伝えられている言葉です。 Amos 3:7 確かに主なる神は何もせず、そのしもべである預言者たちにその秘密を明らかにされました。 あなたは、聖書は変えられた、または廃止されたと言う教会に従い続けますか、それとも、聖書は破ることができないと言う神に従いますか? 民数記 23:19 神は人ではないので、嘘をつきません。彼は人間ではないので、考えを変えません。彼はこれまでに話し、行動しなかったことがありますか? マタイによる福音書 25:31-34 人の子がその栄光のうちに来るとき、すべての聖なる天使たちは 彼、それから彼は彼の栄光の玉座に座ります.すべての国民が神の前に集められ、羊飼いが羊とやぎを分けるように、神はそれらを互いに分けます。そして、彼は羊を右手に置き、山羊を左手に置きます. それから王は彼の右手にいる人々に言います、「来て、私の父に祝福されたあなたは、世界の最初からあなたのために準備された王国を継承します。」そうすれば、神の王国はイエシュアによって支配され、死からよみがえって栄光を受けた人々によって受け継がれます。復活した聖徒たち、つまり神の王国の市民たちは、 地球の残りの人々に対するイエシュア (ダニエル 7:27; II テモテ 2:12; 黙示録 2:26-28; 5:9-10; 20:4-6; 22:5)。 王国の法律とは何ですか? ●裁判官 21:25。法律は、市民的および対人関係における団結、合意、および平和を確保するために人々が従うべきガイドにすぎません。主権者によって強制された理解された基準がなければ、誰もが自分の気まぐれや欲望に従って行動し、良いものや価値のあるものは何も生み出されません.神の王国も例外ではありません。 I コリント 14:33 神は混乱の主ではありません。 彼の王国は、そこに入るすべての人が自発的に神の律法 - 戒め - に服従するので、平和で整然としたものになります。神は、彼の人生のパターンによって、彼が神に従わないことを示す人を彼の王国にいません. (マタイ 7:21-23; ヘブル 10:26-31)。黙示録 12 章 17 節は、聖徒たちを「神の戒めを守り、イエシュアのあかしを持つ者。 神を愛することと隣人を自分自身のように愛することの 2 つの声明は、それぞれ最初の 4 つの戒めと最後の 6 つの戒めを要約しています。戒めは、神を愛し、人を愛する方法をさらに定義するだけです。私たちは一般的に、神を第一に置き、神を崇拝する際に身体的な補助を行わず、神の名前をむやみに唱えず、七日目の安息日を聖く保つことによって、神を愛しています。私たちは一般的に、両親を敬い、殺したり、姦淫したり、盗んだり、嘘をついたり、むさぼったりせずに、人を愛します。 ● ヨハネ 14:15 「わたしを愛しているなら、わたしの戒めを守ってください。わたしの戒めを持ち、それを守る人は、わたしを愛する人です。わたしを愛する人は父に愛され、わたしは父を愛し、私自身を彼に現してください。」 「わたしを愛している人は、わたしの言葉を守ります。わたしの父はその人を愛し、わたしたちはその人のところに来て、彼と共に家を建てます。わたしを愛さない者は、わたしの言葉を守りません。 そしてあなたが聞く言葉は私のものではなく、遣わした父たちのものです

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The Great Easter Fraud The Sign of Jonah …39Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. John 11:9-10, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If someone should walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But, if someone should walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws. ’ Matthew 7:23 A New Heaven and a New Earth …7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son 8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” Failure to acknowledge sin is deliberate betrayal and disloyalty To God, betrayal is the most devastating loss a person can experience.1John 3:4: The one who practices sin is of the devil . If people call themselves Christian, they are required to follow Christ and live as He did..1 John 2:6 He kept The Sabbath, God's food laws, God's appointed times, and all the commandments. This also is a Deliberate betrayal by living your lives opposite to Christ whom you claim to love. 1 John 3:4: The one who practices sin is of the devil “Sin is the transgression of the law that separates the sinner from God. Sin is what happens when you violate God's law; Transgression is the actual act of violating the law Iniquity is a wicked act and immoral conduct or practice. when you've engaged in sin by transgressing God's law If we deliberately keep practice sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left. 1 John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. Key examples of betraying God: Ignoring God's laws and choosing to practice sin: Engaging in actions considered morally wrong according to Scripture. Hypocrisy: Presenting oneself as devout Christian while acting contrary to one's beliefs. Putting worldly things first: Prioritizing material possessions, career success, or personal pleasure above spiritual growth. Not actively practicing faith: Failing to regularly pray, study scripture, or observe the Sabbath. Misinterpreting scripture: Twisting the meaning of religious texts to suit personal desires. Failing to stand up for what is right : Not speaking out against injustice or immoral behavior when appropriate. Lack of compassion and love: Not showing kindness and generosity towards others, which is a core tenet of most faiths. Building "kingdoms" outside of God: Focusing on creating personal power or status rather than serving a higher purpose. …23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” 25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. Betrayal is summarized by three behaviors: The Judas Trade: Exchanging the eternal truth of God's Word for temporary gain—whether it be money, status, or cultural acceptance. Spiritual Adultery: Taking the life and blessings God gave you and using them to serve the "idols" of self-will and lawless living. It is breaking the wedding vows of the covenant. The Kiss of Lawlessness: Claiming to love the Messiah while teaching that His commandments (Torah) no longer matter. This "kisses" Him with words while handing His authority over to be ignored. The Distinction: A stumble is a mistake made while trying to stay on the narrow path, followed by immediate repentance (Teshuvah). Betrayal is the intentional decision to walk away from the path because you prefer your own way over His. Bottom Line: Betrayal is knowing the Master’s house rules and choosing to treat them as optional. Warnings against Sin 1 Listen! The LORD’s arm is not too weak to save you,nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. 2 It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. 3 Your hands are the hands of murderers,and your fingers are filthy with sin.Your lips are full of lies,and your mouth spews corruption. 4 No one cares about being fair and honest. The people’s lawsuits are based on lies.They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin. 5 They hatch deadly snakes and weave spiders’ webs.Whoever eats their eggs will die; whoever cracks them will hatch a viper. 6 Their webs can’t be made into clothing,and nothing they do is productive.All their activity is filled with sin,and violence is their trademark. 7 Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder.They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them. 8 They don’t know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good.They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace. 9 So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living.We look for light but find only darkness. We look for bright skies but walk in gloom. 10 We grope like the blind along a wall, feeling our way like people without eyes.Even at brightest noontime, we stumble as though it were dark.Among the living,we are like the dead. 11 We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves.We look for justice, but it never comes. We look for rescue, but it is far away from us. 12 For our sins are piled up before God and testify against us.Yes, we know what sinners we are. 13 We know we have rebelled and have denied the LORD. We have turned our backs on our God. We know how unfair and oppressive we have been,carefully planning our deceitful lies. 14 Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found.Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed. 15 Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.The LORD looked and was displeased to find there was no justice. 16 He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm, and his justice sustained him. 17 He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion. 18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on his foes. He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth. 19 In the west, people will respect the name of the LORD; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the LORD.a 20 “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins,” b says the LORD. 21 “And this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the LORD, have spoken! When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”verse is from the Bible, specifically Isaiah 59:14-16, which says: "So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.". 16He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.… Meaning: This passage describes a society where truth and honesty are so absent that they are practically non-existent, to the point where someone who tries to live righteously is vulnerable and becomes a target. It portrays a severe moral decline where justice is not pursued and evil is widely accepted. The lake of fire is a symbolic place of punishment for the wicked after death. The phrase "fire and brimstone" is an idiom that refers to God's wrath. "Brimstone" is an old-fashioned term for sulfur. The lake of fire appears in both ancient Egyptian and Christian religions. In ancient Egypt, it was an obstacle on the journey through the underworld.

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 True and False Conversations 所属する人は、エホバの言葉に耳を傾け、応答します. 聞いて答えないと 、それはあなたが主に属していないからです。」 ヨハネ 8:47 エホバの命令は信頼できるものであり、賢者を単純なものにします. エホバの戒めは正しく，心に喜びをもたらします。 エホバの命令は明確で，生きるための洞察を与えてくれます。 エホバへの畏敬の念は純粋で，永遠に続きます。 エホバの律法は真実です。それぞれが公平です。 それらは金よりも望ましいものであり、最高級の金でさえもです。 ハチミツよりも甘く、櫛から滴るハチミツでさえも。 それらはしもべへの警告であり、従う者への大きな報いです。詩篇 19:7

you must be grafted into Israel to be saved. If you have been baptized in Yeshua’s name, have repented, received the Holy Spirit and are living like your Savior lived, you are automatically grafted into Israel; you are a spiritual Jew. (did you know Jesus is a Jew) He answered, "I was sent only to Grafted into Israel All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”… In the context of Romans 11, where Paul uses the analogy of the olive tree, the cultivated olive tree primarily represents God's covenant people, Israel. Here's a breakdown of the symbolism: The Root: The root of the cultivated olive tree symbolizes the foundational promises and covenants God made with the patriarchs, particularly Abraham (Romans 11:18). It represents the rich spiritual heritage and the source of blessing from God. The Natural Branches: These represent the Jewish people, who are the natural descendants of Abraham and were the original recipients of God's covenant promises. The Wild Olive Branches (Gentiles): These represent the Gentiles (non-Jewish people) who, through faith in Christ, are grafted into this existing covenant relationship. The Nourishing Root: By being grafted in, the Gentiles share in the "nourishing root" of the cultivated olive tree, meaning they partake in the spiritual blessings, salvation, and relationship with God that flow from His covenant promises. Therefore, the olive tree in Romans 11 is not just any tree; it's a specific symbol of God's chosen people and the established covenant through which blessings flow. The grafting of the Gentiles into this tree illustrates how they become part of God's people and recipients of His grace through faith in Jesus Christ, despite not being natural descendants of Abraham. 1. The Equality of Faith (Romans 10:12) This is perhaps the most direct "no difference" statement in the Bible. "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile —the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him." 2. The Unity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) This verse is often cited as the definitive statement on Christian equality across all social and ethnic boundaries. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus." 3. The New Humanity (Colossians 3:11) Paul explains that in the "new self," traditional worldly divisions lose their significance. "Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." 4. Equality in Sin and Grace (Romans 3:22–23) Paul uses the "no difference" argument to show that everyone starts on the same level playing field regarding the need for salvation. "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." イスラエルの十二部族 これらの次の聖句は、あなたが聞いたことのないものかもしれません。救われるためには、イスラエルに接ぎ木されなければなりません。あなたがイエシュアの名によってバプテスマを受け、悔い改め、聖霊を受け、救い主が生きたように生きているなら、あなたは自動的にイスラエルに移植されます。あなたは霊的なユダヤ人です。 （イエスがユダヤ人であることを知っていましたか） 彼は答えた、「私はイスラエルの失われた羊だけに遣わされました」。マタイ 15:24 イスラエルに接ぎ木されたことについては 100 節あります。 「イスラエル」という名前は「神と共に戦う者」を意味します。神に敵対するという意味ではなく、神に仕え、神を助けるという意味で神と共に努力すること。イスラエルの12人の息子たちを通して、父イサクと祖父アブラハムに与えられた約束が根付き始めました。イスラエルの12人の息子は、ルベン、シメオン、レビ、ユダ、ゼブロン、イッサカル、ダン、ガド、アシェル、ナフタリ、ヨセフ、ベニヤミンです。 . 申命記 4:8 きょう、わたしがあなたの前に置いたこのすべての律法のように、これほどまでに正しい掟と法規を持っている国がどこにあるでしょうか。 マルコ 1:15 イエスはその女に言われた、「わたしは、神の失われた羊、すなわちイスラエルの人々を助けるためだけに遣わされたのです」。 ガラテヤ人への手紙 3:27 神は言われる 27 バプテスマを受けてキリストに結ばれたあなたがたはみな、キリストを身にまといました。 28 29 And if you belong to Christ, thenあなた アブラハムの子孫であり、約束による相続人です。… エペソ人への手紙 2:18-19 というのは、彼を通して、私たちは二人とも一つの御霊によって御父に近づくことができるからです。 19 その結果、あなたはもはや外国人や外国人ではなく、同胞の市民です。 神の民と神の家族のメンバー。 1Pet 2:10 あなたがたはかつては民ではなかったが、今は神の民である。かつてあなたは憐れみを受けていませんでしたが、今は慈悲を受けています。 1 Peter 2:9 しかし、あなたは選ばれた世代であり、王の祭司であり、聖なる国民であり、彼自身の特別な民です。 エペソ人への手紙 2:11 それゆえ、以前は肉において異邦人（クリスチャン）であり、いわゆる割礼（人間の手によって体に行われた割礼）によって割礼を受けずに召されていたあなたがたを思い出してください。イスラエルの共同体から疎外され、約束の契約に見知らぬ人がいて、世界に希望も神もありません。 13 しかし今、キリスト・イエシュアにあって、かつては遠く離れていたあなたが、キリストの血によって近づきました… あなたはイスラエルの市民であり、すべてのエホバの指示と法律を守ることを求められています。あなたは霊的なユダヤ人です。 Rom 11:23 そしてもし彼らが不信仰にとどまらないなら、彼らはつがれるでしょう。 ローマ人への手紙 2:28 外面的にユダヤ人であるからといって、人はユダヤ人ではありません。 29 いいえ、人がユダヤ人であるのは、内面が一つであるためです。割礼は、書かれた律法ではなく、御霊による心の問題です。そのような人の称賛は人からではなく、神からのものです。 ローマ人への手紙 11:25 兄弟たち、この奥義を知らないでいてほしいとは思いません。次のように書かれているように、イスラエルは救われます。彼はヤコブから無神論を取り除きます。 27 わたしが彼らの罪を取り除くとき、これがわたしと彼らとの契約である。」 … ヨハネの黙示録 21:12 町には大きくて高い城壁があり、イスラエルの十二部族の名前が刻まれた十二の門があり、門には十二人の天使がいた。 黙示録 21:21 十二の門は真珠でできていて、それぞれが一粒の真珠でできていた。町の通りは純金で、まるで透明なガラスのようだった。 あなたが今読んだように、大都市への門は 12 しかありません。門の名前はすべてヘブライ語で、イスラエルの 12 人の息子です。入るには、イスラエルに移植されなければなりません。 ルカによる福音書 4:43 しかし彼は、「他の町でも神の国の福音を宣べ伝えなければなりません。そのために遣わされたのです」と答えた。 Peter 2:9 しかし、あなたがたはそうではありません。あなたは王室の司祭であり、聖なる国であり、神の所有物です。その結果、あなたは他の人に神の良さを示すことができます。なぜなら、神はあなたを暗闇から彼の素晴らしい光へと召されたからです。 ● 申命記 14:2 あなたは、あなたのエロヒムであるエホバの聖なる者として定められました。彼は、地上のすべての国からあなたを選び、彼自身の特別な宝物とされました。 ● 黙示録 18:4 すると、天から別の声が聞こえました。 疫病。私たちは思いをキリストの思いに合わせなければなりません ローマ人への手紙 12:2 この世の型にはまらないで、心を一新することによって変えられなさい。そうすれば、神の意志が何であるかをテストし、承認することができます- 彼の善良で喜ばしい完璧な意志。 コロサイ人への手紙 3:1-3 あなたがたはキリストと共に死からよみがえられたのですから、キリストが神の右に座しておられる天にあるものを目指しなさい.地上のことではなく、天国のことだけを考えてください。あなたの古い罪深い自己は死に、あなたの新しい命は神の中でキリストと共に保たれています . (イェホヴァは、イスラエルと呼ばれる彼の選ばれた人々と、彼が異邦人を国々と呼ぶ他のすべての人々のグループを見ます) 人が生きる目的のために生きるな。 ヨハネの第一の手紙 2:15-16 世や世にあるものを愛してはなりません。世を愛する人は、その人の中に父の愛がありません。なぜなら、この世にあるすべてのもの（肉の欲望、目の欲望、そして物質的な所有物が生み出す傲慢さ）は父からのものではなく、世界から。私たちはキリストによって新しくされました。 コリント人への第二の手紙 5:17 したがって、だれでもキリストに結ばれているなら、その人は新しい被造物です。見よ、すべてが新しくなった。 ガラテヤ人への手紙 2:20 私の古い自己は、キリストと共に十字架につけられました。もはや生きているのは私ではなく、キリストが私の中で生きておられます。ですから、私は、私を愛し、私のためにご自身をささげてくださった神の御子を信頼して、この地上の体に住んでいます。キリストに倣う エペソ人への手紙 5:1 ですから、愛する子供たちのように、神に倣う者となりなさい。世界はあなたを憎むでしょう。 ● ヨハネ 15:18-19 世があなたを憎むなら、まず私を憎んだことを思い出してください。あなたが世界に属していれば、世界はあなたを自分の一員として愛してくれるでしょうが、あなたはもはや世界の一部ではありません.私があなたを選んで世界から出てきたので、それはあなたを嫌っています。 第一ペテロ 4:4 もちろん、かつての友人たちは、彼らが行う野蛮で破壊的なことの洪水にあなたがもはや飛び込んでいないことに驚いています。だから、彼らはあなたを中傷します。 マタイ 5:14-16 あなたは、隠れることのできない丘の上にある町のように、世の光です。ランプに火をつけて、かごの下に置く人はいません。代わりに、ランプがスタンドに置かれ、家の中のすべての人に光を与えます.同じように、あなたの善行がすべての人に見えるように輝かせてください。 父親。エホバ すべてのイスラエルは救われる 兄弟たちよ、この奥義を知らないでいてほしくないので、うぬぼれないようにしましょう: 異邦人の全数が来るまで、部分的に硬化がイスラエルに来ています._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ そして、次のように書かれているように、すべてのイスラエルは救われます。彼はヤコブから無神論を取り除きます。 27 わたしが彼らの罪を取り除くとき、これが彼らとの契約である。」 イスラエルの十二部族 これらの次の聖句は、あなたが聞いたことのないものかもしれません。救われるためには、イスラエルに接ぎ木されなければなりません。あなたがイエシュアの名によってバプテスマを受け、悔い改め、聖霊を受け、救い主が生きたように生きているなら、あなたは自動的にイスラエルに移植されます。あなたは霊的なユダヤ人です。 （イエスがユダヤ人であることを知っていましたか） 彼は答えた、「私はイスラエルの失われた羊だけに遣わされました」。マタイ 15:24 イスラエルに接ぎ木されたことについては 100 節あります。 「イスラエル」という名前は「神と共に戦う者」を意味します。神に敵対するという意味ではなく、神に仕え、神を助けるという意味で神と共に努力すること。イスラエルの12人の息子たちを通して、父イサクと祖父アブラハムに与えられた約束が根付き始めました。イスラエルの12人の息子は、ルベン、シメオン、レビ、ユダ、ゼブロン、イッサカル、ダン、ガド、アシェル、ナフタリ、ヨセフ、ベニヤミンです。 . 申命記 4:8 きょう、わたしがあなたの前に置いたこのすべての律法のように、これほどまでに正しい掟と法規を持っている国がどこにあるでしょうか。 マルコ 1:15 イエスはその女に言われた、「わたしは、神の失われた羊、すなわちイスラエルの人々を助けるためだけに遣わされたのです」。 ガラテヤ人への手紙 3:27 神は言われる 27 バプテスマを受けてキリストに結ばれたあなたがたはみな、キリストを身にまといました。 28 29 And if you belong to Christ, thenあなた アブラハムの子孫であり、約束による相続人です。… エペソ人への手紙 2:18-19 というのは、彼を通して、私たちは二人とも一つの御霊によって御父に近づくことができるからです。 19 その結果、あなたはもはや外国人や外国人ではなく、同胞の市民です。 神の民と神の家族のメンバー。 1Pet 2:10 あなたがたはかつては民ではなかったが、今は神の民である。かつてあなたは憐れみを受けていませんでしたが、今は慈悲を受けています。 1 Peter 2:9 しかし、あなたは選ばれた世代であり、王の祭司であり、聖なる国民であり、彼自身の特別な民です。 エペソ人への手紙 2:11 それゆえ、以前は肉において異邦人（クリスチャン）であり、いわゆる割礼（人間の手によって体に行われた割礼）によって割礼を受けずに召されていたあなたがたを思い出してください。イスラエルの共同体から疎外され、約束の契約に見知らぬ人がいて、世界に希望も神もありません。 13 しかし今、キリスト・イエシュアにあって、かつては遠く離れていたあなたが、キリストの血によって近づきました… あなたはイスラエルの市民であり、すべてのエホバの指示と法律を守ることを求められています。あなたは霊的なユダヤ人です。 Rom 11:23 そしてもし彼らが不信仰にとどまらないなら、彼らはつがれるでしょう。 ローマ人への手紙 2:28 外面的にユダヤ人であるからといって、人はユダヤ人ではありません。 29 いいえ、人がユダヤ人であるのは、内面が一つであるためです。割礼は、書かれた律法ではなく、御霊による心の問題です。そのような人の称賛は人からではなく、神からのものです。 ローマ人への手紙 11:25 兄弟たち、この奥義を知らないでいてほしいとは思いません。次のように書かれているように、イスラエルは救われます。彼はヤコブから無神論を取り除きます。 27 わたしが彼らの罪を取り除くとき、これがわたしと彼らとの契約である。」 … ヨハネの黙示録 21:12 町には大きくて高い城壁があり、イスラエルの十二部族の名前が刻まれた十二の門があり、門には十二人の天使がいた。 黙示録 21:21 十二の門は真珠でできていて、それぞれが一粒の真珠でできていた。町の通りは純金で、まるで透明なガラスのようだった。 あなたが今読んだように、大都市への門は 12 しかありません。門の名前はすべてヘブライ語で、イスラエルの 12 人の息子です。入るには、イスラエルに移植されなければなりません。 ルカによる福音書 4:43 しかし彼は、「他の町でも神の国の福音を宣べ伝えなければなりません。そのために遣わされたのです」と答えた。 Peter 2:9 しかし、あなたがたはそうではありません。あなたは王室の司祭であり、聖なる国であり、神の所有物です。その結果、あなたは他の人に神の良さを示すことができます。なぜなら、神はあなたを暗闇から彼の素晴らしい光へと召されたからです。 ● 申命記 14:2 あなたは、あなたのエロヒムであるエホバの聖なる者として定められました。彼は、地上のすべての国からあなたを選び、彼自身の特別な宝物とされました。 ● 黙示録 18:4 すると、天から別の声が聞こえました。 疫病。私たちは思いをキリストの思いに合わせなければなりません ローマ人への手紙 12:2 この世の型にはまらないで、心を一新することによって変えられなさい。そうすれば、神の意志が何であるかをテストし、承認することができます- 彼の善良で喜ばしい完璧な意志。 コロサイ人への手紙 3:1-3 あなたがたはキリストと共に死からよみがえられたのですから、キリストが神の右に座しておられる天にあるものを目指しなさい.地上のことではなく、天国のことだけを考えてください。あなたの古い罪深い自己は死に、あなたの新しい命は神の中でキリストと共に保たれています .

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. 悔い改めのビデオ 悔い改めは、私たちが彼の王国に入ることができる鍵であり、私たちが彼のようになるために清められる方法であり、彼が国を癒す方法です. 私たちのほとんどは、自分自身についてかなり良いと感じています。私たちは、何か、特に救いについて不快に感じることを誰にも指摘されたくありません。ペテロがあなたの教会に来て、ペンテコステと同じメッセージを伝えたら、ほとんどの人は彼を批判的で分裂的であると非難するでしょう.エホバは私たちに神の戒めと法令を守るよう命じました。なぜですか？あなたの牧師は、あなたが罪悪感を感じたり、あなたの気持ちを傷つけたりすることを望んでいません.あなたが自分の心を批判的に調べ、救いのために私が何をしなければならないかを尋ねたことがないなら、あなたはおそらく本当に悔い改めたことがありません. _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_ 読者は注意してください _cc781905-5cde-3194-bad_bbb3-cf3194 4 信仰を捨てた者を再び悔い改めるにはどうすればよいでしょうか。彼らはかつて神の光の中にいました。彼らは天の賜物を味わい、聖霊の分け前を受け取りました。 5彼らは、神の言葉が良いものであることを経験から知っており、来るべき時代の力を感じていました。 6 そして、彼らは信仰を捨てました。彼らを再び悔い改めに導くことは不可能です。なぜなら、彼らは再び神の子を十字架につけ、公の恥にさらしているからです。ヘブライ人への手紙 6:4 マルコによる福音書 3:29 「しかし、聖霊を冒涜する人 (現在形) は、決して許されることはなく、永遠の非難の対象となります。」 聖霊を「冒涜した」人 (過去形) が決して赦されないとは述べていません._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ かつて、私たちは皆、神の言葉を憎んでいたので、御霊を冒涜しました... 私たちが信仰に入り、成長して神の言葉を愛し始めるまで.違いがわかりますか？赦しを持たないのは、神のみことばに不従順であり、気にもかけず、みことばへの愛もなく、習慣的に積極的かつ現在従事している人です。したがって、あなたが神の言葉を愛し、神の言葉を実践したいという願望を持っているなら、あなたは神の御霊を冒涜したり軽蔑したりしているわけではありません。彼の律法に従ってください。現在悔い改めないことと、御霊を冒涜すること、または神の言葉を憎むこととの間には違いがあります....その人には決して許しがありません....そして、御霊を冒涜して悔い改め、彼のトーラーをただ歩むことを愛する人.私たちの救世主が教え実践したように、赦しを持っているのは彼です。 119 省庁 マルコによる福音書 1:14 「時は満ち、神の国は近づいた。悔い改めて福音を信じなさい！」 ルカ 3:8 悔い改めに応じて実を結びなさい。そして、『私たちの父はアブラハムだ』などと自分に言い聞かせてはなりません。神はこれらの石からアブラハムのために子供を育てることができると私はあなたに言います.神の律法が廃止されたのなら、どうして悔い改めることができるでしょうか。何から悔い改めますか？ 「悔い改めは信仰の前提条件です。悔い改めとは何ですか？その基本的な意味は「変化する」または「変わる」です。ひとたび福音を聞いて、自分の生き方が間違っていると確信したら、その人は自分の行動を改め、律法に立ち返らなければなりません。エホバはトーラーを彼の子供たちへの指示と呼んでいます。人々は、あなたがトーラーに従うことをユダヤ教への改宗とみなすかもしれません。彼らは、私たちの救い主がユダヤ人であり、キリストにあるすべての人について彼が言ったことは一つであることを忘れているようです?罪が律法を破るなら。服従は律法を守ることです。 悲しむ。変わりたい。完全な発想の転換。 罪に対して心を変え、罪を捨てて神に従うという決断をしてください。 (罪は 法違反);振り返って; 180 を実行します。私たちが悔い改めるとき、私たちはこれらの3つのステップを見ますか? 私たちはトーラーの違反である自分の罪に罪悪感を覚えます。 私たちは罪を犯すのをやめます。 私たちは罪から離れ、神と共に歩み始めました。 ヨハネによる福音書 3:8 「まむしの群れよ。来る怒りから逃れなさいとだれが警告したのですか。 悔い改めに値する実を結びなさい。 ヨハネの第一の手紙 2:15-16 世や世にあるものを愛してはなりません。世を愛する人は、その人の中に父の愛がありません。なぜなら、この世にあるすべてのもの（肉の欲望、目の欲望、そして物質的な所有物が生み出す傲慢さ）は父からのものではなく、世界から。 悔い改めとは、単に悔やんだり悔やんだりするだけでなく、バプテスマの清めを求め、神の基準、つまり神の律法に従って生き始めるほど心に打ちひしがれていることです。対応する行動の変化のない後悔は悔い改めではありません！悔い改めの成果は目に見える行動であり、しばしば「作品」と呼ばれ、人が実際に変わったことを示します。バプテスマのヨハネがイエシュアの宣教への道を準備するために悔い改めを説教したとき、彼の聴衆は彼に悔い改めるために何をすべきかを尋ねました。彼は答える： ルカ 3:10-14 裸の人に服を着せ、飢えた人に食べさせ、盗むな、自分の権威を使って虐げるな、嘘をついたり、不当に非難したりせず、自分の賃金に満足しなさい. ●マルコによる福音書 1:15 イェシュアは、「緊急の命令の形で来なさい。」と言われました。「時は満ち、神の国は近づいた。悔い改め、福音を信じなさい。」 これらの行動は、神の律法に従い、隣人への愛を示すことです。 ● マタイ 19:17 イェシュアは言いました。 ヨハネによる福音書 12:49-50 私は自分の権威で語ったのではありません。 50 また、神の掟が永遠の命であることも知っています。したがって、私が言うことは、父が私に言われたとおりに言います。 神の指示に従うには、聖書で最初に言及されている場所に行く必要があります。あなたの牧師や他の人ではなく、あなたの聖書の最初の5冊であるトーラーの書面による指示に従ってください. 詩篇 146:2 わたしは生きている間、主をほめたたえる。私が存在している間、私は私の神に賛美を歌います。 3 救いのない君たち、死すべき人間を信頼してはならない。 4 彼の霊は去ります。彼は地球に戻ります。まさにその日、彼の考えは滅びます。 エゼキエル書 22:26 「彼女の祭司（牧師）は、わたしの律法に暴力をふるい、わたしの聖なるものを冒涜した。彼らは聖なるものと俗なるものとを区別せず、汚れたものと清いものとの違いを教えなかった。彼らは私の安息日から目を隠し、彼らの間で私は冒涜されている. 27 「彼女の中にいる彼女の王子たちは、不正な利益を得るために血を流し、命を破壊することによって、獲物を引き裂くオオカミのようなものです.... マタイによる福音書 15:8 これらの人々は、口先ではわたしを敬いますが、心はわたしから離れています。彼らは無駄に私を崇拝します。彼らは人間の教訓を教義として教えている。」 マタイによる福音書 15:14 彼らは放っておいてください。彼らは盲人の盲目の指導者です。そして盲人が盲人を導くなら、両方とも溝に落ちるでしょう。 コリント人への第二の手紙 13:15 自分が信仰を持っており、[献身的な]信者としての生活を送っているかどうかを調べるために、自分自身をテストし、評価してください。自分自身を調べてください [私ではありません]!それとも、実際にテストに失敗し、偽物として拒絶されない限り、イェシュアがあなたの中にあることを[進行中の経験によって]自分自身について認識していませんか?

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. [f ] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” Chist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure , lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true ; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 The phrase "salvation is by grace through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast" comes from the Bible (Ephesians 2:8-9) and emphasizes that salvation is a free gift from God received by faith, not earned through good deeds. While works are not the source of salvation, they are a natural and evidence of a genuine, transformed life that results from receiving God's grace through faith. Every verse requires Obedience Every command is an act of obedience refusal is a deliberate act of defiance We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life.

Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 James 1:17 Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #2 Colossians 2 in verse 14 says, Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Were the 10 commandments really against us? Were the 10 commandments really contrary to us? Did Jesus really nail the 10 commandments to His cross? (Psalms 40:8 KJV) I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.) (Romans 8:7 KJV) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #3 In Ephesians 2:14-15 the Bible says, For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. Was the middle wall of partition the 10 commandments? Did Jesus abolish the 10 commandments? (Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Colossians 2:21 KJV) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (Colossians 2:22 KJV) All are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? The Jews created a partition between the Jews and gentiles causing issues in the temple. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #4 The book of Galatians says the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Exactly what law was a schoolmaster to bring us to faith in Christ? Was it the 10 commandments like so many Christians suppose? The Schoolmaster was the aminal sacrifice that showed all sin requires a blood sacrifice and lead to the cross Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #5 Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” The thing Jesus said don’t think is the very thing that many Christians are thinking and that is that Jesus abolished the law. Just what did Jesus mean when He said, I came to fulfill the law? Does this mean there is no moral obligation to the 10 commandments? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #6 The law has been abolished and nailed to the cross. What do you do when your church is teaching heresy? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #7 We’re not under the Old Covenant we’re under the New Covenant. Does the New Covenant dismiss our need to obey the laws of God?

"Abomination of desolation" is a phrase from the Book of Daniel describing the pagan sacrifices with which the 2nd century BCE Greek king Antiochus IV replaced the twice-daily offering in the Jewish temple, or alternatively the altar on which such offerings were made.

This is often seen as a biblical "echo": Water to Blood: In Exodus, it was just the Nile; in the Tribulation (Trumpets and Bowls), it affects all the seas and rivers. Boils/Sores: I n Exodus, this was the 6th plague; in the Tribulation (1st Bowl), it strikes those who have the Mark of the Beast. Darkness: In Exodus, it lasted three days; in the Tribulation (5th Bowl), it plunges the kingdom of the Beast into darkness. Locusts: In Exodus, they were literal insects; in the Tribulation (5th Trumpet), they are described as "demonic" locusts with stings like scorpions. The Key Difference In the Exodus, the 10 plagues were sent to a specific location (Egypt) to free a specific people. In the Tribulation, these 21 judgments are global, intended to lead the world to repentance before the final judgment. Since you've been looking into the Book of Revelation and the Lamb's Book of Life recently, would you like me to find the specific verses where these "Bowl" judgments begin, or perhaps a timeline of how the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls overlap? To help you visualize how these events unfold in the Book of Revelation, here is a breakdown of the 21 Judgments and how they overlap throughout the Tribulation period. Timeline of the 21 Judgments Most scholars view these judgments as a "telescoping" sequence: the 7th Seal opens the 7 Trumpets, and the 7t h Trumpet opens the 7 Bowls. 1. The 7 Seals (The Beginning of Sorrows) 1st Seal: The White Horse (The Antichrist rises as a false peacemaker). 2nd Seal: The Red Horse (Global war and civil strife). 3rd Seal: The Black Horse (Famine and hyperinflation). 4th Seal: The Pale Horse (Death of one-fourth of the world's population). 5th Seal: The Souls Under the Altar (Martyrdom of those who turn to God). 6th Seal: The Great Earthquake (Sun turns black, moon turns to blood). 7th Seal: Silence in Heaven (The 7 Trumpets are prepared). 2. The 7 Trumpets (Increasing Severity) 1st Trumpet: Hail and fire mixed with blood (1/3 of the earth’s vegetation burned). 2nd Trumpet: A "great mountain" falls into the sea (1/3 of the sea becomes blood). 3rd Trumpet: The star "Wormwood" falls (1/3 of fresh water becomes bitter). 4th Trumpet: 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars are darkened. 5th Trumpet: Locusts from the Bottomless Pit (5 months of torment). 6th Trumpet: Four angels released from the Euphrates (Death of 1/3 of humanity). 7th Trumpet: The Kingdoms of the World (The 7 Bowls are prepared). 3. The 7 Bowls (The Final Wrath) 1st Bowl: Malignant sores on those with the Mark of the Beast. 2nd Bowl: The entire sea turns to blood (all sea life dies). 3rd Bowl: All rivers and springs turn to blood. 4th Bowl: The sun scorches people with fierce heat. 5th Bowl: Total darkness over the kingdom of the Beast. 6th Bowl: The Euphrates River is dried up (preparing for the Battle of Armageddon). 7th Bowl: "It is Done" (The greatest earthquake in history and 100-lb hailstones). The Parallel to the "First Death" In your recent study of the "Second Death" (Revelation 20:14), these judgments represent the final warnings for the living. While the 10 plagues of Exodus led to the physical freedom of Israel, these 21 judgments lead to the final spiritual separation of those written in the Lamb's Book of Life from those who are not. Since we've looked at the timeline, would you like to see the specific verses in Revelation 16 that describe the final "Bowl" judgments, or perhaps more on how the Mark of the Beast relates to the first Bowl? Since you are focusing on the Bowl Judgments (often called the "Vials of Wrath"), it’s important to see how they differ from the Seals and Trumpets. While the earlier judgments affected one-fourth or one-third of the earth, the Bowls are "full" and affect everything—they are the final strokes before the return of Christ. Here is the breakdown of the specific verses in Revelation 16 where these final plagues begin. The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath (Revelation 16) 1st Bowl (v. 2): The Grievous Sores "The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image." 2nd Bowl (v. 3): The Sea Turns to Blood "The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died." (Unlike the 2nd Trumpet, which hit 1/3, this hits 100% of the ocean). 3rd Bowl (v. 4–7): Fresh Water Turns to Blood "The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood." 4th Bowl (v. 8–9): The Sun Scorches "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire." Instead of repenting, the text says they cursed the name of God. 5th Bowl (v. 10–11): Darkness on the Throne "The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness." 6th Bowl (v. 12–16): The Euphrates Dries Up "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East." This leads directly to the gathering at Armageddon. 7th Bowl (v. 17–21): "It Is Done" "The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air... there came a loud voice from the throne, saying, 'It is done!'" This triggers the greatest earthquake in human history and 100-pound hailstones. The Connection to the "Mark of the Beast" The 1st Bowl is specifically targeted at those who have taken the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18). In your recent study of the Lamb's Book of Life, this is the "point of no return." Those who receive the mark are excluded from the book and become the primary targets of these final seven plagues. A Biblical Pattern: Passover vs. Revelation Just as the Israelites were protected in the land of Goshen while the 10 plagues hit Egypt, many interpret the Sealing of the 144,000 and the safety of the faithful as a modern "Passover." While the world faces the Bowls of Wrath, those in the Book of Life are seen as "passed over" by the Second Death. Since we are looking at the drying of the Euphrates in the 6th Bowl, would you like to see how that connects to the Battle of Armageddon, or should we look closer at the White T hrone Judgment where the books are finally opened?

It is the one who is actively and currently engaged in disobeying the Word of God, habitually, without care or concern, without love for the Word, that does not have forgiveness. The unforgivable sin 許されない罪のビデオ What is the Unforgivable Sin? must watch マルコによる福音書 3:29 「しかし、聖霊を冒涜する人 (現在形) は、決して許されることはなく、永遠の非難の対象となります。」 聖霊を「冒涜した」人 (過去形) が決して赦されないとは述べていません._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ かつて、私たちは皆、御霊を冒涜しました。それは、私たちが信仰に入り、神の言葉を愛するようになるまでは、神の言葉を憎んでいたからです。違いがわかりますか? 読者は注意する 赦しを持たないのは、神のみことばに不従順であり、気にもかけず、みことばへの愛もなく、習慣的に積極的かつ現在従事している人です。したがって、あなたが神の言葉を愛し、神の言葉を実践したいという願望を持っているなら、あなたは神の御霊を冒涜したり軽蔑したりしているわけではありません。彼の律法に従ってください。現在悔い改めないことと、御霊を冒涜すること、または神の言葉を憎むこととの間には違いがあります....その人には決して許しがありません....そして、御霊を冒涜して悔い改め、彼のトーラーをただ歩むことを愛する人.私たちの救世主が教え実践したように、赦しを持っているのは彼です。 間違いなく、神はあなたが神に逆らい、背くことを許してくださいます。彼はあなたが群衆と男性の伝統に従うことを可能にします.彼はあなたが罪を犯すことを許します。しかし、彼はまた、清算の日が来ると言っています。あなたが種をまくように、あなたは刈り取ります！ 「ですから、善を行うことを知っていながらそれを行わない者にとって、それは罪です。」ヤコブ 4:17 4なぜなら、かつて悟りを開いた人々、すなわち天の良いことを経験し、聖霊にあずかった人々、5神の言葉の良さと来るべき時代の力を味わった人々を悔い改めに戻すことは不可能だからです。 6 そして、神から背を向ける者たちです。そのような人々を悔い改めに戻すことは不可能です。神の御子を拒絶することによって、彼ら自身が彼を再び十字架につけ、公の場で恥をかかせているのです。御霊を喜ばせることについて考えてください。ですから、あなたの罪深い本性があなたの心を支配するままにしておくと、死に至ります。しかし、御霊にあなたの心を支配させることは、いのちと平安につながります。 7 罪深い性質は常に神に敵対しています。神の律法に従ったことは一度もありません。 8 そういうわけで、いまだに罪深い本性に支配されている人は、決して神を喜ばせることができません。ローマ人への手紙 8:7 所属する者は、主の言葉に耳を傾け、それに応えます。聞いて答えないなら、それはあなたが主に属していないからです」ヨハネ 8:47

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

The Mark of the Beast The one who practices, sin is lawlessness, separating themselves from God, and offending God by action or neglect or by tolerating wrongdoing—being unrestrained by His commands and His will 1John 3:4. acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion they show they belong to the devil and take his inner character and moral values from him, not God] 1 John 3:8 (666) Gods excape plan for His children Trubulation 1. The Warning for Those Who Take the Mark Revelation 14:9–11 (ESV) "And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.'" 2. The Punishment of the Devil Revelation 20:10 (ESV) "And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." 3. The Final Judgment of Both Revelation 20:15 (ESV) "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Summary The Scripture makes a direct link between the fate of the devil, the beast, and those who take the mark: all are cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the torment is described as eternal ("day and night forever and ever"). In Jesus' words elsewhere in Scripture, this destination is explicitly described as being prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth You can be sure the False Prophet and the Man of Lawlessness will certainly come from the only religion that has promoted and pushed Lawlessness (not obeying God’s Laws) since the beginning. Keeping in mind that Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth since it actually forbids observing God’s Law, is over 30% of the world, so we got our first indication of what kind of percentage we might be looking at taking the mark. If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH” The Mark of the Beast 16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666. The Messages of the Three Angels 6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” 8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passions of her sexual immorality.” 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Matthew 10:21-22 21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. T his self-reflection test is designed to cut through the confusion and fear often surrounding this topic. In Scripture, the "marks" are not about hidden microchips or literal ink tattoos; they represent ownership, allegiance, and what rules your mind (the forehead) and your actions (the hand). Answer Yes or No honestly to each question to examine whose mark you bear in your daily life. The Allegiance & Identity Test The Ultimate Authority: When a choice comes down to following God’s explicit commandments versus following the crowd, the culture, or human convenience, do I choose God's way? The Mind (The Forehead): Is my mind primarily occupied with Scripture, truth, and how to honor God, rather than being consumed by the fears, anger, and philosophies of the world? The Actions (The Hand): Do the physical works of my hands—my labor, how I spend my money, and how I treat my family and neighbors—reflect God’s righteousness and justice? The Source of Security: In times of economic trouble or societal pressure, do I rely entirely on God to provide for and protect my household, rather than putting my ultimate trust in human systems? Open Allegiance: Am I willing to stand firmly for my faith and God's truth even if it means facing disapproval, loss, or being cut off by others? Worship in Truth: Is my worship rooted in an internal reality and a desire to keep His laws, rather than just an empty ritual or a standard routine to look good to others? Understanding the Biblical Meaning In the Bible, the concept of a "mark" is deeply symbolic of identity and ownership. It shows who has your allegiance. The Mark of God (The Seal) : In the Book of Revelation and Ezekiel, God places a seal or mark on the foreheads of those who belong to Him. This mirrors Deuteronomy 6:8, where God tells His people to bind His commandments as a sign on their hands and as frontlets between their eyes (their foreheads). It means your thoughts and your actions are dedicated to keeping His laws. The Mark of the Beast: This is the direct counterfeit. It represents a mind (forehead) and a lifestyle (hand) that has completely surrendered to the world's corrupt system, willful disobedience, and rebellion against God's commandments for the sake of survival, comfort, or fit-in convenience. "Bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." — Deuteronomy 6:8-9 "Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads." — Revelation 14:1 Reflecting on Your Answers If your life aims toward "Yes": Take heart. If you are actively striving to keep God’s commandments, relying on His Spirit, and trusting Him for your security, you bear the identity of a child of God. Perfect performance isn't the metric—the direction of your allegiance is. If you see areas of "No": It is a clear reminder of where the world or the flesh is trying to press you into its mold. If fear of the future or the pressure of the culture is driving your choices rather than God’s word, it is an invitation to draw a line in the sand. Repent, refuse to bow to worldly compromise, and commit your mind and hands fresh to the Lord today. 14 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived. 15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. 16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,… The Mark of the Beast seal is not a physical mark.The forehead represents the mind of those who make a consonance decision to disobeys God Commandments, and The mark on the hand represents worship on Sunday. forsaking Gods Sabbaath Saturday Something to think about Nebuchadnezzar's Dream Worship the beas t Daniel 3:9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments.the statue was made for a specific purpose. With it, the king would demand total obedience and humiliation from his governmental underlings. And Daniel warns the dream means that God's Kingdom is coming to crush all other kingdoms (Daniel 2:44). But Nebuchadnezzar ignores the warning and builds a 90-foot tall statue (or image) of himself. He demands that all his politicians bow down and worship his image (Daniel 3:1, 5). 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. What Is the 'Mark of the Beast' and Who Has It? These 10 Biblical Clues Expose the Truth Dennis Lee The author has 794 answers and 1.4M answer views And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him - Revelation 12:9 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that the sword had wounded and yet had lived. - Revelation 13:14 You can be sure if the whole world is deceived this will include Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Atheists alike. But what percentage takes the mark? It’s not hard to determine who will wield the mark if you eliminate doctrine and preconceived notions. The beast is that which “…will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.” This change of appointed times and Laws happened in 364CE when the Law was changed and the 4Th Commandment was replaced, moving the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday in the Council of Laodicea. The “saints” were also mandated to be oppressed by canon law in the very same council and have been at the mercy of the Beast ever since, until 1948 . The Beast, none other than the Roman Empire that “destroyed the holy city and the sanctuary”, then suffers a mortal head wound, Caesar, but does not die. Instead, it is reborn the Holy Roman Empire with a Pope at its head. Certainly not all of them, but if my guess is close, it will be many. Christianity is the only religion that accepts a “man” to be “God”, Judaism and Islam will never accept a human claiming to be God. This is the very “Man of Lawlessness” that will sit in the holy place and declare himself God—something the Romans have always enjoyed doing to their rulers.
