When Yah Created he used a ‘Spirit’ as in “Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters”.    John 1 tells us that that ‘Spirit’ was Torah (the Word).

We could call this spiritual aspect of Torah a miasma, a sweet smelling aroma of Yah, a miasma that Abel invoked but Cain did not.

 In something I wrote years ago I invoked the idea of two trees, a tree of Life and a tree of knowledge.   If we consider the tree of life as the spiritual side of Yah’s Creation (Torah) and the tree of Knowledge as the physical side of Creation, then we can understand what actually happened to Adam when he ate of the fruit of the tree of Knowledge; instead of seeing Creation through the spirit of Yah, he was now able to access knowledge direct and without the filter of Torah (Tree of Life).

Thus Adam became a physicalist, yes he had ‘godship’ but it was not Yah’s godship it was his own based upon his new ability to interpret knowledge outside of Yah’s spiritual Torah and outside of Yah’s Creation.   He could no longer remain in Eden in case he might assail the tree of Life with his alternative godship.

By eating of the forbidden fruit Adam brought death into Creation because in directly accessing the Tree of Knowledge he bypassed Life (and thus spiritual Torah itself).

We who have been born into Adam’s physical realm can live our lives devoid of spiritual Torah, devoid of the miasma of Yah, but by following the Way of Torah we can make the pilgrimage back to the Father’s House; first we accept that in the beginning Yah Created, and that he gave us His Torah in both physical and spiritual forms, then we start to look at and keep the physical Torah including the idea that it was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.   Keeping physical Torah opens up the Way for us to then have Spiritual Torah written upon our Hearts; whilst Pharoah’s heart was hardened, we lift our hearts up to be written upon and changed to His image and likeness.  

If one reads Isaiah 61 one can begin to understand just what ‘The Good News’ is.   Isaiah tells us the it is the moment that the Spirit of Yahovah falls upon us, and it gives us a clue to what this healing and beneficial message does to us.

But to participate in this healing and beneficial message we need to understand why we are excluded from it in the first place.    The answers to this lie in the first 3 chapters of Genesis, especially as interpreted in John 1.

John starts his gospel in a way that quotes Genesis 1; “in the beginning”.   In the Hebrew version of John 1 we find that ‘logos’ in the Greek is a translation of the Hebrew ‘debar’ essentially the Way, and that Torah is a signpost of that Way.

To participate in Yah’s Way we must first be humble.

Jeremiah tells us that the human heart is wicked, like Pharoah our hearts are harden and thus Torah cannot be written upon our hearts.

We must therefore lit up our hearts that they can be softened such that Yah’s healing and beneficial message can be written upon them.

How do we do this?

By first being humble and accepting Yah’s Knowledge of Good and Evil instead of our own.

Take for example the Christian ‘Sunday’, the 10 commandments tell us that we keep the seventh day ‘holy’ (Saturday) but the Roman ‘church’ changed that.

Being humble means returning to Yah, and accepting His ‘Word’ over and above those interpretations of men; the priests, pastors rabbis and vicars that ‘religion’ sets over us.

The 10 commandments tell us that if we keep the seventh day then we will be freed from slavery, and this connects directly to Isaiah 61 and thus to Yahushua when He quotes this passage.

But Isaiah 61 is not exclusive to ‘messiahs’ it is available to all of us IF we are humble and allow Yah to write His spiritual Torah on our hearts.

In the beginning Yah created all things and we have a choice, become Creation compliant and participate in Yah’s Way, or follow Adam’s way.    Adams way leads nowhere except death, Yah’s way leads back to the gates of Eden, to life eternal.     

Paul tells us of the Spiritual in 1 Corinthians, the word ‘gifts’ is added by the translator attempting to put the idea into the ‘christian’ context but missing the deeper truth.

Torah is written upon our hearts Jeramiah tells us, but he also tells us that the heart is wicked beyond belief.

We have to be humble before Yah, and let Him write upon our hearts, if we do not then Adam’s knowledge and godship prevails and we will have a form of religion but deny the power thereof.

The Torah that is written in the five books of Mosaic law is the ‘physical’ Torah, but the Torah which Yah writes upon our hearts is a spiritual Torah which is what Paul is writing about. It is the very ‘force’ behind Creation itself and is the basis of our own inage and likeness to Yah!

On the whole, Christianity tends to “nail Torah to the cross” and Judaism is more interested in rabbinical tradition and rabbinical interpretation(s) of Mosaic physical Torah.

Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and so it is with most of us, we regard our intellect, our innate ability to exercise Adamic ‘godship’ (knowledge of good and bad) as what is really ‘good’ in our religious life, but Yah wants us to be humble and accept His Knowledge of Good and Evil before He can start writing Spiritual Torah on our hearts.

We start by keeping the physical Torah, keeping seventh day shabbat (Saturday) frees us from Adamic slavery, stopping throwing our own godship in Yah’s face cleanses us, throwing away the pictures of famous rabbis removes the mechanical religion of the automation.

We have a consciousness which, if we are humble and allow it, connects direct to Yah, we don’t need vicars, priests and rabbis to intercede, we can have a direct relationship with our Creator, but only if we purge the other ‘gods’ from our lives.   The ‘pastor’ was one of 5 ministries given to the congregation, where are the others? Usually their role is eclipsed by the traditional elevated status of the pastor as god’s nominated representative, this is evil!   Paul tells us it is prophesy that is important, not the ‘telling the future’ type prophesy but the discerning the will of Yah type prophesy.   The real prophet has Yah’s spiritual Torah written upon his heart, and thus in his consciousness, and through that spiritual Torah, the prophet can ‘see’ Yah –  “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see Yah”  and in seeing Him they will understand Him and be able to spread the ‘Gospel’ of Him – the good news that the healing and beneficial message of Torah, both physical and spiritual, is available to ALL.        

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.

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……  “                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

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.

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……

By following the Way of Yah we reach the Father’s gates and as we enter we are transformed from servant/ slave back to sonship.   Following the Way is the only path to the Father’s Gates, any other path is a broad highway that leads to destruction.

The apostle Paul described himself as a follower of the Way, what does he mean by this?

We are born into Adam’s world which the parable describes as a ‘pigsty’.   But that pigsty is ‘comfortable’ all the time that we indulge in our own knowledge of good and evil and twist Yah’s Truth to our own way, this is religion.

Atheism is a religion of no religion, socialism is a political religion, Judaism and mainstream Christianity are religions that have been ‘hijacked’ by Jonatham Zachai and Constantine respectively.

These religions are not the Way; Following the Way starts with keeping Yah’s Torah.

Abraham kept Yah’s Torah before Moses wrote the five books of ‘law’ so Torah pre-existed the Jewish books of law, indeed John tells us that “In the Beginning was Torah” (Logos – The Word).

Going back to the Prodigal, as he realizes that the servants in his Father’s house lived better than he, in his pigsty, he realizes that he must return to his Father’s house.

We have a slightly different problem, we have to realize that we were born into the pigsty, it is not obvious because the serpent has hidden all the exits and obfuscated the prison walls of the pigsty,   We think we are ‘good’ but we wallow in evil.   If we begin to seek Yah’s truth, He reveals the doorway to us.   But we then have to go through it, and many fail at this point.   Making the decision to leave the pigsty is huge, it means taking responsibility for our own salvation and no longer hiding behind religion, priests and pastors.

Yah is very clear on this, He does not change, the Way does not change and His Torah does not change, and if we become ‘lawless’ (Gr: anomia) He will reject us.

So we knock and the door opens, we step outside, we can now see as through a glass darkly, but how do we move on?   We seek Yah’s TRUTH,            `

The first lesson is that of humility, we are not fit to be ‘sons’ we are only fit to be servants (Gr: deacons).   Servants do what the Master tells them to do, they do not decide for themselves, they stop using their own (Adam’s) knowledge and start seeking Yah’s True Knowledge of Good and Evil.

In so doing they take their first steps along the Way and Yah moves to meet them from afar and guide them home.

But each positive step is conditional on seeking FIRST the Kingdom of Yah and His righteousness!

When Yah Created, He spoke words, words we now call TORAH.   Some of those words were physical and designed to ensure that men stayed in harmony with Creation, others Created the unseen, the spiritual sinews of Creation, the forces that hold worlds together and invisibly influence the physical realm.

Picture a sailing boat beating along the coast of a far, uncivilized continent, the native line the shores watching this magical ‘sea monster’ wondering at its size and speed.   Feeling the wing but wondering  how it could sail into the wind.

Something ‘magic’ was happening before their eyes.

The curious amongst them would take note and look to how they could emulate the phenomenon, others would create a ‘religion’, getting people to worship the monster from afar, and at the same time donate their hard earned wealth to the priesthood.

In seeking understanding, our natives would add something very profound to their civilization; transportation by sea.

We too are faced with phenomena we don’t understand, the priests call it ‘the big bang theory’ but the truth is maybe simpler, it may be that “in the beginning Yah created”.    But one of those theories has been debunked.

What is the mysterious ‘wind’ that powers Creation?  

Creation stretches to infinity, but something holds it all together. Marching in lockstep creating a homocentric home for planet earth.   Yah says to Job “canst thou bring forth the mazzaroth in its flight?”  (mazzaroth = Zodiac stars).

 With the implication that He (Yah) can.

There are many things physicalists struggle to explain, and this is the domain of spiritual Torah, the invisible workings of Yah’s Creation.

We, his greatest Creation, are partially ‘spiritual Torah’ when Yah breathed life into Adam he also breathed in a spiritual element that made us able to interface with spiritual Torah, the very consciousness that is life.   But we have something else as well, intelligence, the ability to learn from our environment and the free-will to use it to think outside the box.  In this we are unique, no other physical animal comes near.

Then there are the angels; spiritual beings, some of whom have stolen ‘free-will’ and use it to keep mankind in bondage to the physical, a spiritual man is more powerful than they are (see the Book of Enoch) so there aim is to keep mankind imprisoned in the physical world.

Gaining control of spiritual Torah requires a long apprenticeship, in humbleness we must follow the Way, eventually arriving at the Father’s gates, prepared to labour as a servant.

Here we enter, equipped as sons trained along the Way in how to weald both pgysical and spiritual Torah as sons of Yah.

Can you turn water into wine and raise a rotting Lazarus from the dead?   This is what we were designed for and can achieve through Torah.

But first we must un-nail it from the cross….
