On Shabbat, while studying Exodus 2:23..25, there was something I became aware of, “the need to be ready”. Not like Are you ready for the return?; or Are your ready to be saved?; but more of a “When will We be ready to consider those questions?”
Here is the text that brought this to mind:
“Exodus 2:23 And it came to pass in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the […]
Recently, I heard a Rabbi say that a young man asked him? If God is so powerful why did creation take six days instead of one?
The answer is Timing!
Everything must happen when it is right to do so. For example: An infant 3 hours after birth cannot be a opera star, or at six hours after birth. Reason: the mouth, throat, teeth, lungs, muscle control, size and shape of the parts will change by the hour. So if you like the voice at hour six, by the time the baby had a nap, everything would be wrong and […]
The TORAH, Written by the Hand of Moses, dictated the Living GOD of Israel, is Real or TRUE.
That is where we start this article, accepting that statement as FACT. For our purposes here, we will not go into the old arguments. If you are not able to accept that, then what is said here you will be unable to comprehend. Stop reading here. Read something else. How about: “You Should Know and Understand This:”
Still here? Good.
The rest of this article is about the Written TORAH of Moses along with the balance of the TANAKH(Old Testament). It is […]
Someone asked me that in a discussion. “Do you have the Mind of Of GOD?”
My answer is/was: I don’t need the mind of GOD, I need to know what HIS WORD is; I need to keep HIS LAWS, then comparing my actions with HIS WORD, I know where I stand according to HIS LAWS.
I possess the intentionality to be Righteous by HIS Laws. The is a word there that requires a closer look: “Intentionality”. This I believe the Living GOD Of Israel desires more than any amount of sacrifice.
We will take a moment to discover what Intentionality […]
What does is mean to be chosen by G-D?
First try replacing “Chosen” with “EXAMPLE”! –for simpler understanding.
For the Children of Israel, what I see in the Torah(5 books of Moses), Chosen means precisely that: The Chosen are the example for the world to demonstrate that: The Living G-D of Abraham, Issac and Jacob IS; that there is only ONE and that we are to love the LORD with All of our heart, all of our soul and all of our being; and how HE wants us to behave.
If the Chosen live according to H’shem’s requirements, all of […]
Our lives are full of contradictions, and we can see this in The Written Torah. Before I go there, let us explore ourself.
We are driven by contradiction, by opposites. Not every one, not all of the time, but more often than not, for most people. Our actions are:
I want to be Me, but I don’t want to be alone. I want to be popular, but I must have privacy. I want to be adored, but only in a good way. I want to be rich, but with no troubles. I want to tell you the rules, but they […]
I have a question, but I suggest that you read all of this before attempting to answer. How bad must the situation become before the Jews actually return to the Almighty, as in the prophesies? How about for you? Most prophecies have been fulfilled, yet there are a few that remain to be completed before the Last Day. The most troubling prophesy for my heart starts in Leviticus 26, and continues to be called for through the last prophecy. This prophesy deals with the Children of Israel, and their return to the GOD of Our Fathers, Abraham, Isaac and […]
How do you like that title?
Do you think I am wrong? Because it is too hard to comprehend? Can’t get your mind around the thought?
Maybe it would help if I told you how, I got there. Whatever your answer was, I did not get it, so I am going to say that you want to understand this. So here goes.
On this last Shabbat, at Shul, I was attempting to explain why I know the TORAH/Tanakh as well as I do.
I explained, that for many years I would read the Torah from a different point of view, […]
There is a story about two pockets each with a note. From wikipedia entry about Simcha_Bunim_of _Pershischa: I use this entry “One of the more famous oral teachings attributed to Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peschischa goes as follows: Everyone must have two pockets, with a note in each pocket, so that he or she can reach into the one or the other, depending on the need. When feeling lowly and depressed, discouraged or disconsolate, one should reach into the right pocket, and, there, find the words: “For my sake was the world created.” But when feeling high and mighty one […]
This is a troublesome topic for most people. What we have been taught up to this point in our life maybe in serious jeopardy(definition: in danger of loss, harm or failure). I defined the word jeopardy because, it is appropriate for the following reasons:
Danger of Loss: the loss of friends, associates and society.
Danger of Harm: because of those losses, you are more easily harmed by others.
Danger of Failure: of giving in to pressure from the other two, thereby losing everything for fear of losing the others and then your soul.
Why your soul? The purpose of life […]
