Can’t God make up His mind?

image

Many churches inadvertently teach that God is a liar and can’t make up His mind.  Seriously!

They teach the Torah, His instructions in righteousness, only applied to ancient Israel; the church has a different set of standards and keeping the Torah is unrighteousness; the Messiah will reign on the throne of David in the future Kingdom (…and the Torah will go forth from Zion)….

If I’m not mistaken, ‘I, the Lord, do NOT change,’ and ‘the Word of our God stands forever.’

Call me crazy, but it seems the doctrines of men are just FULL of logical fallacies and non-sequiturs.

He restoreth my soul…. But, How?

image

Read the verses between the above quoted two and see that He restores our soul with the Torah…. It identifies sin, teaches us how to love Him, how to love our neighbor and how to walk as Yeshua walked.  Why in the world would we ignore it?

Does Scripture lie?

image

Many times in Scripture we are clearly told that the Torah, even the statutes and ordinances, are FOREVER.  Are all of these verses a lie? Or, is Yeshua speaking truth when He says, ‘not one jot or tittle will pass from the Torah and the Prophets…if you want to be LEAST in the Kingdom, annul and teach to annul the least of the commandments.’   (Matt. 5:17-19, paraphrased)

Did Israel sanctify pagan altars?

image

Or, did Yehovah command them to destroy the altars and NOT approach Him as the pagans approached their gods?  Can we take pagan practices and “Christianize” them?  If so, why don’t we use temple prostitutes?  If not, why do we insist on evergreens, balls, wreaths, eggs and bunnies?

Please.  Do the serious research.  “Christmas” was around 1500 years before Messiah Yeshua was born…

A question that needs your attention….

image

Does your pastor uphold the Torah?  Does he teach the difference in the clean and unclean?  Does he keep/teach seventh day Sabbath?  If not, he falls in the same category as the priests who are judged for profaning YHVH. 

Beware walking in the traditions of men and listening to smooth justifications that are contrary to clear Scripture.  I love you and tell you that you are accountable.

Labor Day? A thought….

God knows, we need rest.  In fact, He commands rest.  What is odd is that man largely rejects His rest, then needs to create days of rest.

Consider how much rest (and feasting/bbq-ing) He commands:

image

– 52 Sabbaths of no work
– 2 one week Feasts of limited or no work
– 6 additional feast days, most with no work
– 12-13 New Moon Feasts of limited work
– Every seventh year, rest the land
– Every 50th year rest the land and go debt-free…

And, I’m probably forgetting something.

Why would anyone trade all that for a different schedule that then needs a Labor Day?  Doesn’t sound like bondage to me…

Pffffttt.  Who needs Labor Day?
