The Prodigal Daughter

The Prodigal Son ends up in a pigsty, We assume the wife of the Prodigal also ends up in the pigsty but only because she follows him and therefore not by her choice.

But what of those ‘daughters’ who are taught from an early age that they can ignore the bible and take on a male role, thus choosing to become part of the pigsty not an unwilling participant in it.

In modern atheistic society women are conditioned to take a male role, using ‘the pill’ to render their bodies infertile but leaving their souls (mind, will and emotion) as still female.   This puts a huge number of women in a state of drug induced sexual limbo, they sow their wild oats with abandon, but when the accounting happens as they approach menopause, they find that they are betrayed, and that motherhood and family life are no longer available.

Leaving the pigsty and following the Way of Torah is difficult for all of us, but for the woman who has followed her man it is easier because she intrinsically knows where to find the exit door.   But for the woman who has chosen the way of the male and abandoned her role as mother and lifegiver the door is as hidden as it is for males.

We are all born into the pigsty but the doorway is hidden from us all the time we lack the humility to ‘see’ Yah and His Way.   The female who accepts her God-given role as helpmeet and lifegiver is already almost there, Paul tells us that she is ‘saved’ in childbirth.

The family equips us to find the door because the mother and helpmeet knows where the door is to be found and can guide her man and her children in the right direction, but the female who has been deceived into thinking that a male role is better for her has no sense of direction in the pigsty, and becomes part of the blind leading the blind.

Feminism is a betrayal of womanhood, only Adam was cast out of Eden, but females choosing for themselves the male role of Adam join Adam in his arrogance and in his exclusion.    

Trinity or Torah?

It is difficult to justify the idea of a trinity from the Tanack alone and it is obscure even in the NT.

What we have is the idea of a spiritual element of Torah, a part of Torah written on the heart rather than written on the pages of a scroll of parchment.

Jeremiah tells us that the heart of man is corrupt, but that Yah’s Torah can be ‘written’ upon it.   If this was a physical concept then we would not survive the process.    However, if a ‘spiritual’ Torah were written there it would have a symbolic meaning and give us an untold depth of knowledge.

We usually assume that Yah’s Torah is physical, but that is not necessarily true, when John writes that Torah was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, he was not being a phiysicalist, for in the physical realm of Adam, Torah (the ‘word’) cannot be made flesh, for this is a spiritual process, and it is at this point that the idea of a ‘holy spirit’ enters the Christian belief system.

But I would posit that we are not talking about something new, indeed, John tells us that the ‘word’ is very, very old.

Just maybe we have got it wrong, and that what is assumed to be the ‘Holy Spirit’ is the component of Yah’s Creation that we lost sight of when Adam fell.

Paul tells us of the ‘Spiritual’ but he tells us that without ‘love’ it is a clashing symbol. And that there is a better Way.

That is the Way pf Love, Agape in the Greek, but Agape is not love in any human sense, human love is described by the Greek word phileo.

I would put to you that ‘love’ is a mis-translation, and that the Greek word agape actually describes the action of spiritual Torah (Creation itself) being written upon our hearts in such a way that we can move on from the written component of Yah’s Torah to its spiritual component which eventually reveals all things to us.

Religion stultifies spiritual understanding because it requires that we abandon a personal relationship with Yah, religion resulted from the refusal of the Elders of the Children of Israel to heat Yah at Mount Horeb and resulting in Moses having to define a physical Torah centred around a Tabernacle in the Wilderness.    

There is nothing wrong with physical Torah, but there is a better Way, a Way that involves the writing of a spiritual Torah on our hearts.

Concerning the Spiritual

Adam’s world is purely physical; whilst they could hear Yah walking in the Garden of Eden, they could no longer ‘see’  Him, so they  hid.

Adam was ejected from Eden and had to live by the  “sweat of his labours”   i.e.  in physically.

We are born into Adam’s state, a physical state, but we are both physical and spiritual in nature.

As we grow up in the physical world, we lose our ‘spiritual’, anyone who has lived with babies will have experienced a baby’s spiritual nature, but that nature is soon lost; overwhelmed by the physical nature of Adam’s realm.

Using meditation we can recover some of our spiritual nature but most of us prefer the physical and can thus have no contact with Yah because we cannot seek Him in Spirit and in Truth if we are ‘physicalist’.

Most religion is a physicalist substitute for the real spiritual life, substituting the things of men for the things of Yah, elevating men into positions of godship.

We keep the seventh day set aside for seeking First the Kingdom of Yah and in this way we can follow the Way back to Yah and his Spiritual realm.  Because we are nurtured in the physical, the Way of the Spiritual is unfamiliar and can be rough and steep, but as ever Torah is our guide, out good shepherd that brings us home.

But we must be humble, We must do things Yah’s Way not Adam’s way, we must leave the religions of men behind and seek first Yah’s Way, the Way of Torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us……  

Whose Kingdom?

Yah’s Kingdom is defined by His Torah, a Torah which was in the beginning and which became flesh and dwelt amongst us.

When Adam acquired his own godship and defined his own ‘good’ and ‘evil’ he in effect defined his own torah and moved away from Yah’s Kingdom.

We are born into Adam’s kingdom and it is thus incumbent upon each of us as individuals to decide to walk the Way back to Yah.

That Way starts by understanding (and believing) that in the beginning Yah Created.

The Torah is the “Good Shepherd” that puts as on His shoulders and carries us back to Yah’s Kingdom,  If we allow it we are “met from afar”.

But we have to be humble, we have to accept that the Kingdom of Yah is defined by His rules not by Adam’s (or our own).

Only then do we make progress, we are given understanding as we travel the Way, we listen, we learn, We discern, we read the scriptures looking for Yah’s Truths.   And He reveals them to us…..

Adam’s world is very physical but Yah’s world is spiritual, Yah’s world has no rational primary sources except the scriptures and even in the scriptures it is disguised and obfuscated and unless one is specifically looking for Yah’s Truth one will not find it, one will only find the religions of men; popes, pastors vicars and rabbis.

Truth and Falsehood

Things are either TRUE or False regardless of our opinion, we may believe falsehoods, or we may believe truths or have opinions somewhere between the two.

What Yah Created is TRUTH, everything else is may be ‘true’  within a given context especially things might be true (or false) for a relatively short period of time; all things pass away except the Truththat in the beginning Yah created.

It is the task of the believer to seek Yah’s TRUTH, to decern the things of Yah amongst the chaos that is life.

Religion seeks to establish ‘opinion’ over truth, and it is this opinion that must be “nailed to the cross” (not Torah).

Yah gave us His Torah as a guidepost to TRUTH, we are to become followers of the WAY, much like in John Bunyon’s book Pilgrim’s Progress.

When we eradicate the falsehoods in our lives  we are left with truth, and we start to eradicate falsehood by reading (and obeying) the scriptures for ourselves.   Rabbis and pastors can give us their opinions but they will not be there when we come before Yah for judgement.   Yah will judge us according to His TRUTH not that of Rabbi This or Pastor That.

The peril of Adam is that his opinion always has an element of the serpent in it, and that little bit of taint is usually enough to pervert truth, something that is 99% true is not TRUTH because the 1% changes everything, a careful reading of the interaction between the serpent and the woman shows how this mechanism can happen, she appears to have been told to not even touch the tree, this is not what Yah told Adam; Yah forbade eating of the fruit of the tree, where did the idea of not even touching the trr come from?

The serpent exploited a tiny falsehood in a mostly true narrative….

Works of Righteousness

He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, (TI 3.5 NASB.)

This begs some questions, first, who is the ‘He’ here? The previous verse tells us that ’He’ is “ God our Savior” not Jesus Christ as is preached commonly in religion.

What is a ‘work of righteousness’?   I assume that this is and act that complies with Torah.   More interesting is what it is not (like going to church  on Sunday, and certainly not acting according to our own knowledge of good and bad.

We earn His mercy by keeping His Commandments, that is following His Torah and not “nailing it to the cross”, there is no Mercy for keeping the commandments of men (either Rabbis or Pastors).

The act of regeneration is a consequence of earning His Mercy, which we do by ‘following the Way’ which leads to TRUTH.

The “Holy Spirit” is a Constantinian concept.   The reality is that it is the spiritual side of Torah, the power of the words which spoke Creation into existence,   It is the very foundation of the world as we know it,   When we keep Torah, when we follow “The Way” then we tap into Creation and the spiritual Torah engulfs us and will, if we let it, recreate us in His image and likeness’

Yah is not inaccessible, he is not “hid from our eyes” but He demands that we approach through His Gateway by following His Way no other is acceptable because no other leads to regeneration.    

Shabbat

Much of ‘religion’ revolves around the mistranslation of words in both  Greek and  Hebrew.   The liberty that makes us free is ‘Torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us’   but the ‘yoke of bondage’ is interpreted as a torah that can be ‘nailed to the cross’.    Yahushua says that he will not recognise any who are without Torah and will command them to leave, despite their ‘good works’.   This is a dire condemnation and gives rise to ‘wailing and gnashing of teeth’ as those who thought they were ‘born again’ and ‘saved’ are rejected.

Yahusha means “Yah saves” and we must relearn that Yah saves but Yahushua Redeems us from the perversion of Adam and his godship.

Constantine created the universal catholic church as an amalgam of all the pagan religions as well as Christian traditions such as Sunday sabbath.

The word shabbat is derived from the Hebrew word for seven (sheva) and thus applies only to the seventh day (Saturday), in this context Sunday is the first day (Yom Rishom) and is a normal working day.   The keeping of Shabbat (sabbath) is embedded in the ten commandments and is inextricably linked to the Exodus when Yah brought us out of slavery.   So if you want to be a slave then just fail to keep the seventh day set apart.

Shabbat is a day of rest, Yom shishi (Friday) is a day of preparation where we prepare food for shabbat and do anything with plants and livestock to keep them over the Shabbat with minimum attention.

Jews have perverted their shabbat by bringing in man made rules; going to shoul, candles and chollah, not switching lights on, not lighting fires.

Tanack says that those creating temple artifacts should not relight their furnaces, the Rabbis have interpreted this as ‘don’t light any fires at all’, including electrical devices that give light.

Hence refrigerators with the door switch deactivated so the internal light does not come on.

The scriptures tell us that Shabbat is for rest, meditation and communion together.   If you fail in upholding these tasks on your shabbat, you risk eventual slavery; Yahushua will say to you “get thee hence I know you not……  “                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Understanding Life

Life consists of matter drawn from the soil mixed with the breath of Yah, for life to flourish both elements of life need nourishment, to nourish the body we eat food, if we fail to eat food we starve and cease to function.   In the Garden of Eden food was plentiful and hung from the trees, after the fall it was grown by the sweat of labour.

The Breath of Yah also had to be nourished and in the Garden it was nourished by the constant presence of Yah and the ability to use His Knowledge of Good and Bad (Torah) to sustain and feed Adam’s (and the Woman’s) spiritual hunger.

This was life as Yah intended, there was no ‘old age’ there was just eternal life.

Nourished by Torah, the Words of Creation, the spiritual life flourished and abounded.

Torah was the healing and beneficial message of spiritual life.

Then Adam chose to seek his own torah, his own knowledge of good and evil.   He became a god in his own rite and became (destructive) competition to Yah;   he could no longer use Yah’s knowledge to sustain and husband Eden so Yah had to remove him.

So Adam had to live in his own domain outside of Eden and without the healing and beneficial message of Torah; all the time he chose his own way the spiritual sustenance of the power of Torah was denied him.

The woman confessed her ‘sin’ she had allowed the serpent to deceive her.   She was forgiven but she still had to bear the consequences of her action.   Death had been let loose and the Woman had to become Chavah, the life giver.

In Adam’s domain the Serpent became a major influence, and when Adam used his own knowledge there was the serpent manipulating his decision making.   In Yah’s Creation was TRUTH, but in the areas influenced by the serpent there was chaos and lies.   Adam (and subsequently Cain) had to deal with those lies, to believe and act on them or to discard them.   Torah provided a foundation and a bastion against which lies could be detected.   But Adam and Cain rejected Torah and turned each one to his own way, and whichever way they turned, there too was the serpent deceiving and killing.  Without Torah they had no defence.

Understanding Death

Dying you will surely Die.

This was the warning Yah gave Adam concerning the eating of the fruit of the tree of Knowledge.   But he did, and he brought death into the world as a result.

We are born into Adam’s world and as a result we are born into both Adam’s life and Adam’s death and we have to be born again into Yah’s life.   But Death is of Adam and it is an irrevocable separation from Yah because it (and thus we) cannot come into the presence of Yah and thus must be dealt with before we can claim our salvation for ‘Salvation is of Yah’.

Yahushua’s Hebrew name means exactly that, ‘Jesus’ did not save us He overcame Adam’s death and thus cleared the way for us to come before Yah.

Yahushua, Torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us, dies on the Roman torture device but resurrected 3 days and 3 nights later; He cut a pathway through the realm of death and resurrected back to Life.

We too can follow that path, this is why the apostle Paul described himself as a “Follower of the Way”.   

The purpose of Yahushua is not what Christians are taught, their ‘Jesus’ died on the cross for their ‘sins’, this is a pagan teaching absorbed into the universal creed by Constantine, a worshiper of Mithra.

Thus was the concept of ‘death’ weaponized to terrorize you and me into submission to (expensive) religious authorities instead of living life in the liberty wherewith Torah (made flesh) made us free.

Flee ‘religion’ and follow the Way of Yah,  it starts on the first page of the bible, “In the beginning Yah Created”.

Of Robin Hood

If ‘God’ doesn’t exist the being ‘nice’ has no value and one should basically take all that one can get and exploit the weak ruthlessly, just like in the natural world, because when it comes down to it we are just animals and there is no judgement and no condemnation.

But ‘God’ does exist, someone or something Created the Universe whether a God or an alien is immaterial, and that ‘God’ left us a set of instructions, dismiss them at your peril.

This describes Adam’s world; dog eats dog.

We try to set up artificial rules and establish them into ‘religions’, some religions even adopt Yah’s 10 commandments and wrap them in a veneer of ’interpretation’ and obfuscation.   This usually follows a ‘pagan temple’ type ritual where people enter the building, stand up, sit down listen to some iteration of the ‘rules’ and put their ‘gifts’ into the money bag.

Yahsushua drove the ‘traders’ from the Temple.

These ‘churches’ nail Yah’s Torah to a cross, a Roman torture and murder device.   However having negated the words of Yah’s Creation, they resurrect the ten percent that was paid to the Levi’s as their stipend;  exploitation is profitable.

The ‘tithe’ to the Levi’s was ten percent of the increase! Not ten percent of the income…..

Paul tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil and it is usually a fundamental of religious worship; a successful ‘megachurch’ is a good get rich quick scam.

Putting a ‘food tax’ on everything sold in a shop is also a religious scam.   Yah’s dietary laws are very simple and do not involve ‘koshering’ by rabbis.   The Rabbis get rich by taxing necessities, their greed is insatiable.

Robbing the ‘rich’ to give to the poor is fantasy in the greenwood; it is the excuse socialists use to justify their atheistic rapaciousness, using their elevated positions to force redistribution and skimming off the cream for themselves.

In the teachings of Yahushua we learn the the ‘poor’ are always with us, but Yahushua is not,   Our role in this life is to seek FIRST the Kingdom of Yah and His Righteousness not to play Robin Hood.   RH was a thief, and thus broke the commandment.   If you are living by coercing other people’s money then beware, Yahushua might just say to you  “Get thee hence, I know ye not!”.

If you are truly doing Tah’s will you will not want for money……
