Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, 2018

So what is this Yom Kippur(Day of Atonement)? 2018 (and really 5999)?

Can we not just ask for forgiveness and that should be enough?

Why are we required; All of the Children of Jacob, to afflict our souls on the Day of Atonement?

There seems to be misunderstandings regarding the day and its purpose.

I highly recommend that, if you have not read the post “Acknowledge, Regret, Repent! “and “Atonement“, that before you go further, take the time now to read it and then proceed with this one.

As one of the Children of Jacob, I know that each of […]

Forgiveness, The Other Side.

Forgiveness

From the beginning of the Writings Of Moses(Torah), the CREATOR of the Heavens and the Earth has given us Laws and Teachings that we would be able to learn to be Righteous.

In the “Garden in Eden”, the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil” only taught us the difference between Right and Wrong. There is a time in almost every life, when that person crosses from good and does that which is evil. It is a learning experience, which means that you will chose to do that which you know is wrong. How does this relate to the […]

Sour Grapes and Teeth on Edge

This is my response to Torah Study dated February 24, 2018.

What is being discussed in this Torah Study(which reads from were the group stopped last week, maybe covering one to four verses and discussions) Exodus 11, what is being discussed is the Tenth Plague. Is there a correlation between the Death of the First Born and the their fathers actions?

One source for the first misconception is:

“Exodus 20:4 thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto […]

Original Sin, revisited

What can this be? Can there be an original sin, given to every person? [Original text posted 2009 by James Jeffries]

I have heard this to be 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.

However, Your’s and Mine are different “Original Sins.”

That is going to cause a lot of head shaking by those trained in religions. The News is that IT IS TRUE. Your sins are your sins. You are not responsible […]

Understanding What Is Coming - Revised 20170118

Are you trying to understand what is coming? Will you understand before it is to late?

Looking around the world, at the people, the news, the behavior of: countries, people, the left, the right, the . . . . , well there is a lot to think about.

Yes, I know, I put people in twice. It is about the people. About how everyone of us deals with each other. Whether or not an individual person returns to the ALMIGHTY; prior to having no time, no ability to change even if they still had a choice. Understand that you must […]

Atonement, How and Whys

This will be a difficult one for me. Many of the people on the earth today either do not believe in their actions as sin or think all you should need to say is “I’m Sorry” with a pretended truth to the words.

There are those that have faith that on their death bed, no matter how bad, if they just ask for forgivness, it will be fixed and they will go to heaven(where ever heaven is.) so “keep on keepin’ on”. As it has been said in many forms.

Is that right? Is that Justice? No matter how bad […]

The Day Of Atonement

So what is this day? Can we not just ask for forgiveness and that should be enough?

Why should All of the Children of Jacob do this Day of Atonement?

There seems to be misunderstandings regarding the day and the purpose.

Before we get started with this session, I highly recommend that, if you have not read the post Acknowledge, Regret, Repent! Atonement, that before you go further, take the time now to read it and then proceed with this one.

The LAW According to the Hand Of Moses.

Leviticus 16:

29 And it shall be a statute for ever […]

Acknowledge, Regret, Repent! Atonement

Less that a week before the Day Of Atonement, Rabbinic year 5777, Biblical 5997. In getting ready for this years events, many are presenting ideas about asking for forgiveness and what that should entail.

I heard one talk by a rabbi, declaring this is the best process:

1) Be unhappy or regret what you have done, 2) Acknowledge what you have done, 3) Tell the person you wronged, that you are sorry, 4) Ask for forgiveness for what you have done, 5) Try to repair the damage you caused.

This has caused a number of discussions about forgiveness. Some have […]

This Question of Timing Re: Egypt

It seems that Timing continues to arise in discussions. This time it has to do with taking the Hebrews out of Egypt.

Why did we have to have the plagues? Why did so many have to suffer? . . . .

These questions lead to one of a long time ago, “Why does the LORD just make us good?” I will not answer that one this time, but I will talk about Egypt and the Redemption Then and NOW!

Yes, I did say NOW! This time it is the World not just Egypt. Couple of things to remember:

1) על-פי […]

Do You Have The Mind Of GOD?

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 […]
