Sitting here at top of the final stair case that goes down to the Kotel. In this place Jerusalem, near the Kotel(not the STONE), I believed that the truth should be found in the mouths of those that are here day after day. Yet, what is heard contains partial truths at best. Is it so hard to speak the truth, to strangers, to each other? Either the truth is not known or it is just not wanted.
An example: Today I listened to a tour guide telling Chinese visitors (I listen to many of the stories, most I do not […]
Self-Control is exactly what we need. To follow your feelings leads you to do wrong and then striving to justify that it is okay because it felt good. A review of expectations by GOD and our problem.
We start with having only one rule, don’t eat of the tree in the middle of the garden. We failed. Is The ALMIGHTY expecting to much of us? Just the opposite, we demand to little of ourselves. We don’t really try. We are caught up in: Me; I feel; I want; I need; I; I; I. Is this the right thing to do? […]
How many days? What does this mean?
I freely admit that My count may be in error. However, I am not off by more than 25 years, which when we are speaking against 2625 years, is on the green within inches of the hole, in golf. So exactly how much time is remaining to Make it Right with the God of Our Fathers? What I see in the world and in the news, looks a lot like the End Of Days
Daniel 12: 10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall […]
A quote used to make a point was “Exodus 21:15 informs us that one may choose a life of slavery over freedom.”–Not a valid quote! Shalom: What things in our lives are we allowing to enslave us to keep us from freedom? Fears, Resentments, Ego, Selfishness, Pursuit of Money and ‘Stuff”? Blessings
In response to the invalid quote:
I wrote: It is horrible that the shepherds should mis-qoute the LAW. “Exodus 21:14 And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from Mine altar, that he may die. 15 And he […]
The most powerful reason why, if you are blessed enough to have children, is/are right in front of you. Your children and your future, these are a perfect reason start learning and teaching. What you reveal to your children by your actions, will demonstrate what they will do to you toward the end of your life. Yes, they will act as you do in their dealings with others but, more to the power they will do it to you. You can change, you can do what is Right. First, you will need to know what RIGHT looks like, fortunately the […]
The Hebrews(Meaning from the other side or the Other)
A Problem is found here! How can it be that even the Hebrews in Egypt, that saw the events there and then were expelled, chased by Pharaoh and his army, trapped by the sea and then walked on dry ground with walls of water on both sides, those that left had no knowledge of GOD or what just happened?
They did not internalize the events of GOD’s Mercy and Power! In other words they just did not perceive or understand those events taking place around them. Could it be likened to: […]
The Last Day was a wordy writing, however I did not put this in. Yes every part of this is important evidence, especially if you have not Returned. Better that there is more than what you need, then to miss that point which will put it all together for you. May this be for a blessing to you.
Warnings By the LORD, “betimes and often”, My Paraphrase: THE LORD said: I spoke to you, sent prophets to you, warned you of my anger and you would not listen or take heed neither did you turn back from your evil…. As […]
Months ago during a discuss with a Rabbi. I was asked: ” Can you define what you mean by the word soul? You envision the soul being alive, being damaged, and dying.” Yes, I can. First, the Soul is the SPIRIT of GOD in the dirt. Second, I do. Who can kill the SPIRIT of GOD in the flesh, You and GOD.
The Evidence:
Soul is first referred to in Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Now […]
We start with a discussion of a religion.
[Why Is This the Right Religion?
What is your source of authority?
It has two streams: The Law VS Our Traditions Two sources for religious actions and belief. First is the Written Text and the second is the Traditional texts of our teachers.
What happens when there is a conflict? That is why we have the teachers.
A meeting of religious leaders took place hundreds of years ago, where they determined and wrote down the traditions. This became the Orthodox version of our faith. What do I need to do to […]
The original “The Last Day”
While I read, my mind connects pieces of information that I know, to the present text. This makes me a slow reader, perhaps because of all I have learned. One tool that has served me well is, asking questions about what I am reading. Much like a the Socratic method, where asking one question leads to more questions, with the goal of stimulating mental activity and strength.
A text that got me started on today’s writings:
“Isaiah 2:19 And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, […]
