Isaac Mozeson REINCARNATION: same old, same old...been there, done that


Reincarnation? Isn't that for Far Eastern faiths, or hippies into crystals, tarot and bongs?
It is not in the Hebrew Bible, explicitly. but there are some interesting hints that the more mystical Jewish traditions pick up on.

It begins with Abraham. Where else? When he dies he is "gathered unto his people."
What people? He FOUNDED the longest-playing people on the planet.
"Gathered" where?

Is there some kind of pool of eternal souls that gets recycled, maybe… Continue

Ross Nichols A Special Note on Finances


I wanted to take some time today to publish an update on all that is going on with Roots of Faith and the Synagogue Without Walls as well as to request your financial support. It seems that there is a growing interest in what we are doing and I am pleased that we appear to be meeting a need in the lives of so many people who are seeking truth from the Scriptures. When I received the keys to the historic Temple Sinai Synagogue in December of 2005, I had no idea what was in store! At that t… Continue

John C. One Man's Decision.

Hey All, I'm forwarding this article from the JPost that someone sent out on another list. It is written by Caroline Glick who many of you may know is an ex-IDF officer, a frequent commentator for the Jerusalem Post and is well qualified to comment on this subject. Here is a link to her personal website if you want to see her bio. http://www.carolineglick.com/e/about.php In my humble opinion, this is the most concise and accurate descript… Continue

Michael Returning Wayward?

How long have I wandered again, this time so far from the light that I embraced the Gods of my lover?

"Thou shalt convey it with worship, though you likest it not."

Somewhere along the way, somewhere along the path, I turned, diverged, and found myself in the blackness again. My teacher in these separate ways behaved only appropriate to her Tradition, when she left me alone in the darkness...and yet, I cannot help but feel resentment. Now, I am reading the words

Isaac Mozeson Fear of the Worm, Not of the Eternal One

James Tabor May 14, 1948 and Shavuot: Strange Connections

May 14, 1948, the date of the founding of the modern State of Israel, has a strange and uncanny connection not only to the season of Shavuot or Pentecost, but the actual date on the Hebrew calendar. See the latest United Israel Blog post for details:

Sandra Inglis Exodus Chapters 19 and 20

Shalom Everyone,

YeHoWaH is speaking to me today, through Exodus chapters 19 and 20. Two years ago at this time, YeHoWaH also spoke to me through these same chapters. YeHoWaH led me to read Exodus Chapters 19 and 20 on the day before Shavuot which is the 49th day of the count to Shavuot.

According to my understanding of what is written in the Tanakh this 49th day is today, and is the day in which YeHoWaH revealed Himself to all Israel at Mt Sinai. This is the anniversary of t… Continue

Speak where the Bible speaks, remain silent where the Bible is silent, be vague where the Bible is vague, call Bible things by Bible names, and do Bible things in Bible
