Tom , So glad to hear you have not jumped ship! But He did not say we could not rock the boat! As true believers we are living in such turbulent and dangerous times. I have been often finding myself reading and/or being led to 1Kings. Rimmon is…

Tom Moniz replied to Tom Moniz's discussion 'am i alone?'

Shalom and thank you Leo for the kind words. I can be a little slow at times, but i finally seem to have figured out how misleading what I wrote was. The web is an international forum, and the "exceptionalism" I was referring to is…

Leo333 replied to Tom Moniz's discussion 'am i alone?'

As those of us who are feeling the "call", no truer words can be spoken as to living set apart. Tom, you have now recieved confirmation by three witnesses to chose the narrow path. It is difficult and testing to have what is not righteous…

Tom, i agree with what all 3 of you said. it is said that the world looks at us the true believers and doers of torah as the outsiders. but the road is narrow and few find it. so we must examine ourselves before we are judged so as…

Ted, Beautifully said and very insightful. Something my grandmother use to say, "Make no mistake, for a woman, beauty is not a blessing but a curse". Recently in a conversation, another of her wisdoms was brought to recollection, as must…

Thanks Victor. I don't think they were more primitive or less reasonable back then. Solomon said "there is nothing new under the sun." He really meant it! Visualize this; young Israelite man goes to war. …

P.S. Could it also be our approach to non-believers? And culturally hair is the crowning glory to women. To remove, false doctrine? paganism? just to put it out there, but I think Ted's message is clear :)

Has anyone, I am sure there is, heard the story of the doctor and the black smith? And the allegory, is if u have no wolves in your life then u r no sheep. And that which bends and can withstand the fire/testing, will result into a refined and…

Leo333 replied to Tom Moniz's discussion 'am i alone?'

Dear Tom, You are so not alone. Until very recently, I felt the same. It is not unusual for there to be difficulty for an arrogan/prideful teacher to see their students surpass their knowledge, but dont take it too hard. It was the journey that…

am i alone?

Shalom, I consider myself to be a God fearing person, and I try to live within the Covenant YHWH made with the Hebrews at Mt Sinai. At the same time, I continually find myself examining my self and my motives as to things I do and say. I also continually question my condition with YHWH and whether I am in His good graces or not. Personally I consider this to be a healthy mindset, one of self examination. While at the same time, it seems to me that many God fearing people seem to continually…See More

Lol, and what other things might hide in the hair of a pagan? Seriously though, good points, and I agree about "doing" her nails. Tom

Ted Walther replied to Tom Moniz's discussion 'Shave her head and pare her nails?'

If she was beautiful, it would stop the Israelite hens from "pecking" at this foreign intruder in their midst. By the time the hair grew back, the womenfolk would have adjusted to her presence. Otherwise they would have abused…

Shave her head and pare her nails?

De 21:10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and YHWH thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; 12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; {pare: or, suffer to grow: Heb. make, or, dress} 13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain…See More

The Good Serpent

I believe the serpent (NaChaSh, nun chet sheen in Hebrew) all too often gets a bad rap. Whereas my searchings in the Hebrew Torah have caused me to see it as a good and necessary part of our existence.

First, what is a serpent? A snake, something with its head to the grindstone, weaving right and left to move forward. There are many times in Torah where we are instructed to not turn to the right or left:

De 5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as YHWH your God hath… Continue

Why is The Name not found in Esther?

Shalom,

During the discussion part of the meeting today (3-19-2011) they were discussing Esther, and one of the things that came up was how The name YHWH is not mentioned in the book. An interesting fact is that although within just about every chapter of Torah The Name is found, there are 10 consecutive chapters where it is not (something I have wondered about for over a decade). Well, since the meeting I have been thinking about this, and this thought has come to mind. I can't say…

Hardening Pharaoah's heart?

Shalom,

What does it mean when Torah states that YHWH hardened the heart of Pharaoh? Did YHWH "force" Pharaoh to act as he did, or did Pharaoh have free will just as all of us? It seems to me that many believe YHWH forced Pharaoh to act as he did, personally I see it differently.

Have you ever heard the phrase "push his buttons", and how some people's buttons can easily be pushed and you can predict how they will react? This is what I see going on there. YHWH knows that the…

living creatures?

Shalom,

I thought I would share a little something that some might find of interest. Personally, I am not even sure what exactly to make of the New Testament, nor whether I believe its legitimacy, but if the book of Revelation has anything to do with Torah and the Prophets, then the symbolism would have to be consistent, imo. One of the things in Revelation that can be difficult to notice due to translation is that John uses 2 different Greek terms that are both translated "beast" in…

Benyamin, and Yoseph's test

Shalom,

Who was Benyamin? Why did Yoseph use him as a pawn in an elaborate testing of his brothers honor towards their father?

Something I think many overlook is how Yoseph never tested his brothers feelings about himself, even though they wronged him tremendously. The text tells me it was actually…

Thanks for your excuse!

Perhaps Ribi Y’hoshua was anointed by Raban Jamliyeil. It is a fact that he had semikhah from Raban Jamliyeil [Documentation].

I will do some repetitions necessary to demonstrate a point. The Mashiakh was prophecied to get killed in the first century [Documentation]. Ribi Y’hoshua is the only person that fulfilled the Messianic prophecies of Tana’’kh that aren’t possible to fulfil anymore and never will be possible to fulfil again, according to Tana’’kh, including the requirement of having genealogies to Dawid [Documentation]. Thus, either Ribi Y’hoshua was the Mashiakh or there will never be any Mashiakh. Either Ribi Y’hoshua was the Mashiakh or ha-Sheim is [l’havdil (to differentiate)] a liar. Thus, if this is a Tana''kh-requirement for being the Mashiakh, we know that Ribi Y’hoshua had such an anointing, since we know that ha-Sheim doesn’t lie.

It was an article that I had written which I linked to. Mashiakh ben Yoseiph – the suffering servant described in Y’shayahu 53. To my understanding the name 'ben Yoseiph' is use to describe the role. When I use that term I refer to that there are dual roles of the Mashiakh as it is written in Tana’’kh [Link].

Your thoughts?

Have a great day!
Sincerly, Anders

We better tune the living Torah: THE ONE GOD.
