There is a lot of debate going on between Messianic Jewish and Gentile believers and Christians. The issue with the debate, however, is that it presupposes that one group keeps the Torah, and the other does not. Nothing could be further from the truth! The Torah contains in it a short summary of itself inContinue reading “You DO Keep Torah!”

Stand Up and Bless
The title is a phrase we say in the Synagogue at least once a month. It is a call from the scriptures to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Creator. Last night I was watching the news, which I am loathe to do most of the time, because it just frustrates me concerning the way peopleContinue reading “Stand Up and Bless”
The Lying Messiah
“And he shall change the SEASONS and the TORAH.” Daniel 7:25 Even most so-called scholars do believe this is the ‘anti-christ’ that Shaul, Kefa, and Yokhanan all wrote about. [Paul, Peter, and John] They did not invent the idea of a “Liar Messiah.” This future human is prophesied about quite at length in the TorahContinue reading “The Lying Messiah”
Proud of my Scottish Heritage
(almost as proud as I am of my Jewish forebears) For nearly 800 years, Scotland and Ireland were untouched by the popes. They were isolated from the council of Nicaea, and did NOT make the switch! There is evidence and a solid argument that the famed Patrick of Ireland/Scotland never agreed to Nicaea’s heresies. TheseContinue reading “Proud of my Scottish Heritage”
Khannukah
Khannukah! I have written about this probably nearly every year, so I do not want to belabor the subject too much. Many have misunderstood me on this, and have even ‘un-friended’ me, because the history I point out seems to be a personal offense, I suppose, even though I usually preface these things with myContinue reading “Khannukah”
Why Khannukah?
Khannukah means ‘Dedication.’ King David wrote a psalm specifically for the ‘Dedication of the House,’ anticipating building the first Temple, the House of Elohim. Tehillim Perek 30 תְּהִלִּים א מִזְמוֹר: שִׁיר-חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִד. 1 Mizmor; a Song at the Dedication of the House; for David. ב אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יהוה, כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי; וְלֹא-שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי. 2 IContinue reading “Why Khannukah?”
Salvation in the “old testament,” and the role of the sacrifices and commands in our lives….
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”
