Prayers –a commentary
by yaakov » Sep 23rd, ’12, 09:50 Today is Sunday 23 Sep 2012, Yom Kippur starts on Tuesday at Sun down, a.k.a. The Day of Atonement. Leviticus 16:29) And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you. 30) For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the LORD. 31) It […]
A friend recently inquired of me, “So what does GOD want from me?”
Shortest answer is: “He wants us to choose HIM”! Now Wait, wait just a minute. That answer was really short, but was it accurate? We will come back top that in a little while.
My second answer comes from Isaiah 56: א כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, שִׁמְרוּ מִשְׁפָּט וַעֲשׂוּ צְדָקָה: כִּי-קְרוֹבָה יְשׁוּעָתִי לָבוֹא, וְצִדְקָתִי לְהִגָּלוֹת. 1 Thus saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed. ב אַשְׁרֵי אֱנוֹשׁ יַעֲשֶׂה-זֹּאת, וּבֶן-אָדָם יַחֲזִיק בָּהּ–שֹׁמֵר שַׁבָּת מֵחַלְּלוֹ, […]
How important am I?
A question I think almost every person has asked at least once.
One answer is in the story of a man with a single note in each front pocket of his pants. In the right pocket, the note reads “I am nothing but dust and ashes” And in the left pocket the note reads “For ME the world was created.” When he is full of his own importance he reads the Right Pocket. When he is down and troubled he reads the Left. In this way he finds balance in his life. –the proof of the […]
Human Relationships Then and Now — Adam and Eve
(Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said: ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help-mate for him.’) JPS 1918 version.
Adam does not appear to be without knowledge. He is the master of his world(Gen. 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be […]
If You Want The Truth… . . . Seek The Truth.
My personal search has lead me to the idea that if any lie is found, in a Person or a Story, then all information from that source must be suspect. If something is declaring to be the WORD of GOD, is found(after diligently studied) to be in contradiction to its laws, then all of the information is potentially flawed. As Holy Text, that by its nature must be TRUE, the Torah(Five Books of Moses) must not contradict itself, or there is reason to doubt all of it.
In my […]
I would like to present you with a couple of ideas.
Let us consider for discussion between that: The L’RD knew every life and the decisions each life is going to make before HE said “Let there be light.” Ref: Isaiah 44:6..8,
It is believed that every religion that concedes that the G-D of Abram, Issac and Jacob is G-D, believes that HE is learning and fallible. ( A major dissertation if you have the time –I know that this is not true. The part about “He is learning….”) This is not in conflict with our free will. Was Adam […]
SIN –what is it?
To chose against ADONAI, the GOD of our Fathers. What is meant here is that We are given HASHEM’s Laws and Teachings which we are to Obey. When we decide that, in any manner that negates or opposes what ADONAI has commanded, we SIN.
Three Short Examples:
1) Eve blames the serpent from the Garden. Eve ate of the tree with full knowledge that the LORD, who walks in the Garden with them(Adam and Eve) said not to touch or eat. “Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman He said: ‘I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy […]
Chaf Lamed Hay –Genesis 18:21, This has been translated Destruction or Altogether or completed or . . . . I think you get the idea about the word in general.
The issue is in specific. This verse in question with the leading verse 20, reads as:
[20 And the LORD said: ‘Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous. 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.’] JPS 1917, reads […]
Isaiah 29 – A set of Prophecies
1 Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year, let the feasts come round!
Ariel = Lion of G!D, and are David camped. Add ye year to year, … Over time or years will pass maybe In The Future…
ב וַהֲצִיקוֹתִי, לַאֲרִיאֵל; וְהָיְתָה תַאֲנִיָּה וַאֲנִיָּה, וְהָיְתָה לִּי כַּאֲרִיאֵל. 2 Then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and moaning; and she shall be unto Me as a hearth of God.
In The Future I will distress the City Ariel and she […]
What can this be? I have heard it declared to be: Sex, Lust, Lying, Choosing against GOD. . . .
I am in favor of the last one as the original sin, committed in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve. Yours and Mine are different “Original Sin.”
The “Original Sin” is just that, the first (original) sin. It is not Your sin! It is not Inherited from anyone else!
