I read an extra Tehilla this morning, and the following came to mind. That is the one referenced herein. It is difficult for me not to try to expound the ‘whole’ concept of Salvation in the Tanak [OT], and doing so in one sitting would be a monumental effort. But, in the interest of time,Continue reading “Salvation in the “old testament,” and the role of the sacrifices and commands in our lives….”

Janus-Faced
HaAzinu
How I ‘see’ christians… just so you know… Many people over the years have misunderstood me, and it is because they have in their own head preconceptions and misconceptions about what it is to keep the Torah of Elohim [Instructions of G-d]. There are thousands of years of theological banter that get in the wayContinue reading “HaAzinu”
Yom Kippur
“For He who knew no sin, for our sakes He has made Him a SIN OFFERING, that we might become the righteousness of Elohim.” [ Kor Bet 5:21 (2 Cor)] Yeshua did NOT become “sin” as most translations read. He became the “Khatat,” or The Sin Offering. Sin was heaped upon Him, but He remainedContinue reading “Yom Kippur”
Yom Teruah
The Day of Memorial of an Awakening Blast The Resurrection is critical to trust in Elohim. It is the power of Resurrection that distinguishes true faith in the Creator and in His Son Messiah Yeshua from every other religion. Avraham is the father of all who trust in the Elohim of the Bible and inContinue reading “Yom Teruah”
Why Not Theology?
Why did I get a Biblical Studies degree? Why, when I went for a higher degree, did I NOT go ‘religious’ at all? For one, the study of ‘Theology’ seems to be “The Study of the Greek God,” as “Theos” is the greek word for god; modern ‘theological studies’ are rooted in greek, socratic, platonic,Continue reading “Why Not Theology?”
Literal Liars
It never ceases to amaze me how deceitful people are. But, I’m not talking about overt liars, but about people who lie to themselves, deceive themselves. I am starting to see that this is very close to the root of all sin and all conflict! Mind you, I came from a very similar background asContinue reading “Literal Liars”
Call Me Judgmental
Those who are the people of Elohim cannot succumb to the will of the ‘politically correct,’ nor to the notion that whatever one does is ‘okay,’ and that no one should say anything about bad public behavior. What is the most glaring wart on society right now? The notion that when one tries to bringContinue reading “Call Me Judgmental”
You Never Know
As I was saying the prayers this morning, when I was meditating on the words of Yeshua as He taught the Talmidim to pray, “Deliver us from the Evil one,” for some reason two episodes from my past flooded through my mind, and the idea of sharing them here accompanied those thoughts. So, I amContinue reading “You Never Know”
Trump it up!
http://www.ontheissues.org/donald_trump.htm Above is a political rundown on Trump. I’ve read it twice. I agree with him on many of his points. There are two points of his that, in my mind, need to be stronger: abortion and tax reform. On abortion, there should NEVER be a late term abortion. That is killing a child whoContinue reading “Trump it up!”
