Much of apostate "christianity" have become apostle Paul worshipers

 Time is so short before the rapture of the church and satan is fully ensnaring as many as he can with lies and false teachings.  The apostasy is getting worse and is becoming so bizarre and unbelievable I cannot even fathom how many people are following such heretical lies believing it is the truth of scripture.  I pray the rapture happens before many more are deceived in this great falling away the scripture warned would occur before Messiah Yeshua's return for His bride.  These deceived people will find themselves in the tribulation - left behind - because they love the lies and smooth things and reject the Truth.

Most of the "protestant church" hold onto the words of the apostle Paul like they mean more that the words of the Messiah although I never knew how much until last night in a "christian" youtube livestream.  I was floored by what I heard and what I saw from some of the people in the chat.


The teacher - Kenny Jacobs - taught that we did not have to obey Yahweh's instructions because we are in "the dispensation of grace".  Those in the chat affirmed that.  When Matthew 7:21-23 was brought up, those in the chat stated "Matthew was written to the Jews - we only need to obey what is in Paul's epistles".  Seriously???  Of course, they did not mean how Paul meant his epistles to be interpreted but how they are twisted to mean they do not have to obey what Yahweh said to do - something totally opposite of what Paul clearly taught.  These people have twisted scripture and made the apostle Paul into their messiah because they do not love Yahweh or Messiah Yeshua.  They are listening to serpent twisted scripture - "has God really said?"

I have recently written posts going into most of this already so please read those more a more in depth look in how the words of the apostle Paul are twisted by the rebellious God hating people to mean something he did not intend - as Peter clearly states in his letter:

2 Peter 3
14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.


The apostle Paul's letters are not to be considered on their own because they are NOT the complete scripture.  Paul's letters are part of scripture but was never meant to be all inclusive of the doctrines of the gentiles.  ALL scripture is to be used for doctrine not just what the apostle Paul wrote.  Those who claim they only have to follow the words of the apostle Paul and can believe they can ignore what Yahweh said in the old testament and can ignore what Messiah Yeshua or any of the other writers of the new testament said are thoroughly deceived and have made the apostle Paul into a god of their own imagination.

When the apostle Paul wrote his letters, the ONLY scripture was the old testament. While the books of the new testament were written before 120 AD, they were not codified until 200+ years later (there is different councils that put together the new testament although that is suffice for what I'm showing here) so while Paul's writings are part of the new testament, they were not part of the new testament until centuries later when the new testament was codified / put together.

The scripture the apostle Paul was referring to was the old testament because that was the only scripture they had at the time he wrote this!

2 Timothy 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

When the apostle Paul was teaching the Bereans, they searched the old testament to see if what he was teaching was true or not (the new testament had not been written / codified yet).  Note that gentiles are included here not just Jews.  If Paul had spoken against the old testament (the only scripture they had at the time), they would have rejected Paul and his message.

Acts 17
10  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12  Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.


When Paul wrote his letters - that was exactly what they were: letters to people and to the fellowships.  These letters, while containing instructions for us today, were addressing issues in those fellowships and must be taken in the context those letters were written otherwise those letters can be made to say opposite of what Paul meant when he wrote them - as Peter said in his letter quoted above.

Most of the apostle Paul worshipers do so because that is what they are taught by serpent / wolf pastors who taught it because that was what they were taught.  Most are ignorant of the true history of the early church and although I have written about it before, I'll summarize it here again.

Up until the bar Kokhba revolt in 135AD, the greeks worshiped in the synagogues.  The followers of Messiah Yeshua, both Jew and gentile, worshiped inthe Synagogues on the Sabbath along with those - both Jew and gentile - who did not accept Yeshua as their Messiah.  After the Synagogue service on the Sabbath,, the believers then met for fellowship and to learn of Yeshua.  In the evening after Sabbath ended (at sunset), the believers met in each others homes for fellowship and for a meal. 

During the bar kokhba revolt, the unbelieving Jews claimed bar Kokhba was the Messiah and forced those who worshiped in the Synagogues with them to accept bar Kokhba as the messiah.  Because the believers knew Yeshua was the Messiah and not bar Kokhba, that is when the believers left the Synagogues and started the churches.  This is when the "church" lost the Jewishness and ended up compromising with constantine and incorporsting paganism in about ~300AD.

Most of what was the "church" was a mixture of paganism and scripture which became the catholic church.  The "reformation" in the 16th century "reformed" a few of the pagan elements that the "reformers" disagreed with while leaving many more of them intact.  What should have been done is a RESTORATION becak to the early church beliefs.  While Yahweh has always had a remnant of true believers, the RESTORATION movement has been happening and many are returning to the true faith of following Messiah Yeshua's instructions of Obeying Yahweh's instructions.  Messiah Yeshua is the Messiah and is The One TRUE Christians are to listen to - not the words of Paul they twist to mean what they want them to mean.

When brought up in the Kenny Jacob's fellowship that Messiah Yeshua's sheep hear His voice and FOLLOW HIM - Kenny Jacobs and those in the chat said "the Jews are Jesus' sheep and christians only have to follow what Paul said in his epistles".  WOW - that is when I left --- these people are disobedient rebels who have no love of Yahweh.

These verses show that Kenny Jacobs and those who reject Messiah Yeshua's teachings in favor of what they believe the apostle Paul wrote are DECEIVED and are LOST

John 10
16  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

John 10
26  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


Here are a few verses about Paul or written by Paul.  The last few blog posts I went in depth on the ones the rebellious love to twist and take out of context so please read those posts to see what Paul meant when he stated one esteem one day over another, do not let people judge you because you now observe Yahweh;s dietary rules, Sabbath, and His feast days, etc.
Colossians 1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Colossians 2
6  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7  Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Acts 18:4  And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

Acts 20:21  Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 26
19  Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20  But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

 In speaking about being grafted into Messiah Yeshua among the natural branches, the apostle Paul states gentiles were to abide in God's goodness or they would be cut off.

Romans 11:22  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

The apostle Paul states that the natural branches are the Jewish people who are following Messiah Yeshua and the gentiles are the wild olive branches.  The difference is the native olive branches grew up at least knowing, if not observing, Yahweh's instructions (plus, most likely, the rabbinic fences I discussed in the post right before this one) and the wild branches would need to partake in the nourishment and feeding of the root to form a strong graft which will then produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit - olive oil is produced from the olive tree!

Romans 11
23  And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?


Once again - Yeshua is the Messiah of both Jew and gentile.  If you belong to Messiah Yeshua, you FOLLOW HIM and OBEY HIM and reject such foolishness that the apostle Paul's writings that are twisted to mean the opposite of what he was teaching is the only thing you need to follow.

This is what Messiah Yeshua said.  Contrary to what the Kenny Jacob's "fellowship" and his followers believe and teach, Messiah Yeshua will REJECT those who do not OBEY Yahweh's instructions in spite of everything they claim to be doing "for Him". 

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Bondage of the law versus Obedience to the law





While it is unfortunate most "christians" do not read the bible for themselves, it is even more unfortunate that most "pastors" do not either and, instead, rely on what they were taught in seminary or by other "pastors" who rely on what others have told them or their seminary background.



One misconception is regarding Yahweh's instructions for His people (AKA "the law").  Many hold to the erroneous belief that "the law is for the Jews" or "Jesus nailed it to the cross" or "we are now under the new covenant not the old so we do not have to obey the law", etc.  Another misconception is that the apostle Paul spoke against the law and that he called the law 'bondage' which is not at all what Paul said.

In previous posts, I showed Yahweh's instructions were given before Abraham, the first Jew, and that Yahweh gave His instructions to Adam and Eve.  I also showed that Noah knew "the law" because he brought clean and unclean animals into the ark and sacrificed some of the clean animals after the flood.  Before the flood, Noah preached Righteousness and the people ignored him.  As a preacher of righteousness, he had to have known Yahweh's instructions and the people had rebelled against them (and so they rebelled against Yahweh) showing "the law" had to be known by Noah and he had to have preached it to the people of the earth.  Without knowing Yahweh's instructions, they could not have been held accountable for violating them.  In a much earlier post, I stated that even satan must have had known Yahweh's instructions or how could iniquity - defined as violation of the law - be found in him?  Since Yahweh is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow His laws must be eternal from eternity past to eternity future.

Most "christians" accept the false teachings that Yahweh's rules ("the law") is evil and Messiah Yeshua did away with them on the cross.  This is not at all true and both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul spoke at great length showing this is not true.

Here are a few of the verses that "christians" like to use to show how "evil the law is" and that "the law is bondage" meaning, of course although in error, Yahweh's instructions.  These people who teach this are ignorant at best, ravenous wolf deceivers at worst.

Galatians 2:4  And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Galatians 4:9  But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.


Both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul spoke against the bondage of the law and neither spoke of "the law" being that bondage.  First I will have to explain rabbinic Judaism, how it adds to Yahweh's instructions, and how both Messiah and the apostle Paul spoke against the rabbinic additions but not "the law"  ( I will use Torah for Yahweh's instructions or "the law")

In rabbinic Judaism, the Judaism that does not believe Yeshua as Messiah, there are different "sects" and among  the most strict are the orthodox.  I will use their beliefs and doctrines to explain what the bondage to the law is and how it is ADDITIONS to Torah and not Torah that Messiah and Paul spoke against and then I will give examples in scripture showing this.

Yahweh said to not eat pork, shellfish, and gave instructions which animals were clean to eat and which are not.  There is a verse in the bible that says to not boil a kid in its mothers milk.  This was a fertility ritual of the heathens that Yahweh did not want His people to participate in.  In rabbinic Judaism, they took this instruction and heaped tons of rules and regulations to it.  Even to this day, the added rules  are still observed. 

The talmud (the "oral law" that is sacred to rabbinic Judaism) states that "traditions are fences around the law"  Source/Notes:  Mishnah Pirqei Avot 3:14

Orthodox Jews do not eat meat and milk together and in a kosher restaraunt, they do not mix meat and milk and you cannot get a glass of milk in a meat restaraunt and cannot get meat in a milk restaurant.  In an orthodox home, they have two refrigerators: one for meat, one for milk, two sets of dishes: one set for meat, one set for milk (or three including a set for Passover) , they also have two dishwashers: one for meat dishes, one for milk dishes, etc.  Before the Sabbath in an orthodox Jewish home they will set the heat or air conditioner, set the oven (which will not be turned off until after the Sabbath), will take out or turn off the light in the refrigerator, and when using an elevator in an apartment building they will take the Sabbath elevator which stops at every floor so they do not have to push the button- considering all of this to be "work".  THIS is the bondage that Messiah and Paul both spoke against.

Messiah Yeshua spoke plenty about the rabbinic rules added to Torah but never spoke against Torah (or He would have been a sinner and not sin free)

Mark 2
23  And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24  And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?


Messiah Yeshua replied to them that the Sabbath was made for man --- for them to rest and enjoy not for them to observe the rabbinic rules and be servant to the Sabbath.

Mark 2
25  And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26  How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27  And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28  Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.


The Pharisees waited to see if Yeshua would heal on the Sabbath so they could accuse Him.  By healing on the Sabbath, Messiah showed that it is acceptable to do good on the Sabbath and to help others - just as the Pharisees would have taken care of their animals on the Sabbath.

Luke 13
10  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11  And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12  And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13  And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14  And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15  The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16  And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17  And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.


Interestingly after Yeshua, in rabbinic Judaism to this day they now allow healing on the Sabbath and it is permissible for doctors and nurses and those giving aid to others to work on the Sabbath under the rabbi's rules.  Yeshua was showing that the extra rules / bondage the rabbis placed on people was the bondage - not the Torah as given to the people since Adam and Eve.
The Jewish faith of the day they observed many traditions added onto them by the rabbis
 believing the addition of their rules would make them holier to Yahweh (same thing can be said of the churches today)   Here is another example where Yeshua and His disciples did not follow the rabbi's rules and traditions while still obeying Torah

Mark 7
5  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


Notice Yeshua was talking about how they were honoring Yahweh with their lips but their heart was not in it - they were obeying their man-made commandments and not obeying Torah.  Messiah stated they were rejecting Yahweh's commandments so they could keep their own traditions!  (same thing in the church today especially regarding Torah and observing pagan holy days calling them "christian")

Most love to twist what Paul said and claim he taught that Torah was bondage.  We will just examine a few verses and see this is not at all so.

Galatians 1
13  For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14  And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.


Notice Paul called it "the Jew's religion" and never said David's religion, Abraham's religion, or mention Torah.  Paul then went on to state he was exceedingly zealous for the TRADITIONS of his ancestors.  This shows Paul knew the difference between Torah and the man made traditions that were added to it by the rabbis.  I showed in the post right before this one that in Ezekiel's time there was pure paganism that was brought into the temple and that obedience to Yahweh was thoroughly compromised before Paul's time.

Galatians 2:4  And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Again, this is about the bondage of the rabbis and does not call Torah bondage.  In the previous chapter, Paul had already stated he used to be zealous for the TRADITIONS -- just like "christians" are zealous for the pagan holy days of ishtar (easter) and x-mass today.

Galatians 4:9  But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.


Many people are not satisfied with Yahweh's instructions and want the extra bondage / traditions of the rabbis.  I came to knowledge of the truth of following Torah long before the internet and long before I knew ANYONE else was.  For the longest time I thought I was the only one just by reading the bible on my own.  I was not led by anyone besides the Holy Spirit to obey Torah in obedience to Messiah Yeshua's instructions (His sheep know His voice)  Now I'm surprised with how many gentile "christians" are following the rabbinic traditions including wearing the sun "god" kippah, keeping meat and milk separate, and keeping the rabbinic traditions of the Sabbath - they have placed themselves under the rabbinic bondage both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul spoke against.  There are even many so called "christians" that are involved in kabballah which is Jewish mysticism / divination / numerology / etc.  Messiah Yeshua said the road is narrow - and many false paths lead to the broad road that leads to hell. 

Messiah Yeshua said if people who claim to be His do not obey the Father's instructions (Torah / AKA "the law") He will reject them even if they are making youtube videos "for Him", making prophecies in His name, casting out demons in His name, etc.  Messiah Yeshua's sheep hear His voice and His voice says to obey God.  To obey is better than sacrificing  or doing things "for Him".

1 Samuel 15
22  And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

"Did God really say?" . . .hissed the serpent

Note:  all ages and years lived are taken from the book of Genesis unless otherwise noted.

The Garden of Eden was filled with all sorts of trees that were pleasing to the sight and good for food.  Yahweh also placed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the midst of the garden.

Genesis 2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

 From scripture, before Eve was created, Yahweh gave Adam only one instruction (as far as we know, there were no further instructions given) and that was to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil while he could freely eat of all the other trees. 

Genesis 2
16  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


Some time after Eve was created, she was approached by the serpent who asked her about what Yahweh had said about eating from the trees in the garden.  Eve replied that they could eat from any tree but cannot eat or even touch the tree in the middle of the garden.

Genesis 3
1  Now the serpent was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You are not to eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2  The woman answered the serpent, "We may eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden,
3  but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, 'You are neither to eat from it nor touch it, or you will die.' "


Did Yahweh give Eve instructions to not touch the tree?  This is not in scripture and most people assume v that Eve added to what Yahweh said when she answered the serpent's question but if that were true, then the first sin would have been Eve lying to the serpent.  Some make up stories about how Adam told Eve Yahweh said to not eat or even touch the tree (placing extra rules on Eve) but if that were true, then Adam lied to Eve.  I do not believe Yahweh told Eve directly otherwise Eve was the one who intentionally sinned and not just deceived into sinning (Adam being the one who was responsible for the fall of man) as scripture states. 

1 Timothy 2
13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.


Were they capable of lying before they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?  I think it may have been possible because they were not aware of their nakedness and need of clothes until they ate from the tree or maybe she did not realize lying was wrong since she had not eaten of the fruit yet?- but this is not the topic of this post so I'll leave it at that.

The serpent responded to Eve that Yahweh had lied because He did not want their eyes opened making them like God knowing food and evil.  This was a tempation from satan about disobeying Yahweh and eating something He clearly said to not eat.

Genesis 3
1  Now the serpent was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You are not to eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2  The woman answered the serpent, "We may eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden,
3  but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, 'You are neither to eat from it nor touch it, or you will die.' "
4  The serpent said to the woman, "It is not true that you will surely die;
5  because God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."


Some point after the serpent placed the thought about disobeying into Eve, she and Adam were near the tree and she saw the tree was good for food and desirable for making one wise, she ate of the fruit and gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate.  .After Adam and Eve sinned, their eyes were opened and they were ashamed of being naked and made aprons from fig leaves to cover themselves.

Genesis 3
6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.


The fall of man was in Yahweh's plan for earth.  Why?  We do not know.  We can guess lucifer may have fallen and the earth may be an object lesson on obedience for the angels?  We do not know, we can only speculate the reason.  We do KNOW it was Yahweh's plan otherwise why would He have placed those two trees in the garden and then telling them they could eat of all of the trees EXCEPT that one tree?  He knew they would eat.  If Adam and Eve had known what that little sin would do to the planet and how much death and destruction if would cause they may have had thought seriously about disobeying what Yahweh said.  All it took was a lie from satan stating that Yahweh lied to them and the tree was beneficial to them for food when it was not given to them for food.

When Yahweh found Adam and Eve after they had sinned, He killed animals and made them clothes from their skins - covering their sins with shed blood.

Genesis 3:21  Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Most "christians" believe whatever their "pastors" or gurus tell them and do not read the bible for themselves.  This is unfortunate because most so-called "pastors" are like the serpent that deceived Eve and claim that people no longer have to obey Yahweh's instructions given to Moses because "that is for the Jews" or "that is the old covenant and Jesus died so we do not have to obey the law" , etc..  Most do not realize that Yahweh gave Adam and Eve His instructions likely after they left or right before they were expelled from the garden and He clearly instructs His people to obey Him and Messiah Yeshua stated His followers hear His voice and OBEY Him or they are not His and He will tell them to 'go away I never knew you'.

First we will show the law was known long before Moses and even before Noah's flood which proves that most of the serpent speak from the "pastors" that state "the law is for the Jews" when it was clearly known long before Abraham the first Jew.

I stated that Yahweh killed animal(s) to clothe Adam and Eve after they had sinned and I stated Yahweh gave them His instructions for living (AKA "the law") at some point after they had sinned.  After Cain and Abel were born and were old enough, they offered sacrifices to Yahweh so they knew about sacrificing to Yahweh.

Genesis 4
3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:


While we cannot know the exact time Cain and Abel sacrificed to Yahweh, we know it was within 130 years after creation (or possibly 130 years after Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden which may be somewhat longer) because Seth was conceived and born after Cain had killed Abel and Seth was born 130 years after creation (or possibly the time Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden)  So sacrifice was definitely known a short time after Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden.

Noah was born in year 1056 (bible is not clear whether this is date from Creation or date Adam / Eve were expelled from the garden) and Noah knew which animals were clean and unclean - this was BEFORE THE FLOOD which was in year 1656 (from Adam).  Noah's father Lamech was alive when both Adam and Seth were alive and could have learned Yahweh's instructions directly from them (Adam lived 930 years and Lamech was born in year 874)

Genesis 7
1  And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2  Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.


After the flood, Noah sacrificed the clean animals to Yahweh

Genesis 8:20  And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Noah was still alive when Abraham was born (and Shem outlived Abraham) and Abraham - who became the first Jew - also knew of sacrifice since he was told by Yahweh to sacrifice Isaac and was going to do so when Yahweh provided the Lamb in place of Isaac

from Adam
  • Noah lived from year 1056 - 2006
  • Shem lived 1556 - 2158
  • the flood was in 1656. 
  • Abraham lived 1948-2123
  • Isaac 2048 - 2228
Genesis 22
1  And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3  And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4  Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5  And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6  And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7  And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8  And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9  And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11  And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13  And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.


Most biblical historians believe that Job was a contemporary of Abraham and lived long before Moses (Uz was from the line of Shem)

Job 1
1  There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

--------
5  And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Clearly the law was known long before Moses.  Why was it given to Moses if it was already known?  Because the time Israel spent in Egypt, they forgot all of Yahweh's instructions and incorporated Egyptian paganism into the worship of Yahweh and He wanted them to have His rules written down (codified) so they knew exactly what He expected from them and had no excuse for their disobedience.  How do we know this?  Because their pagan practiced were shown during the exodus.  Cow worship was commonplace in ancient Egypt as seen in the artifacts collected that are now in the museum in Cairo (they even made their favorite cows into mummies when they died) 

Exodus 32
1  And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2  And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3  And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4  And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5  And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6  And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:


Mt Sinai where "the law" was given to Moses is in Exodus chapter 19 yet Yahweh gave explicit instructions on the Sabbath in Exodus chapter 16 and  was angry when the people refused to keep His commandments.  Notice that Yahweh says this is a test to see who obeys His instructions and who doesn't

Exodus 16
4  Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5  And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6  And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7  And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8  And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9  And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10  And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12  I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
13  And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14  And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15  And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16  This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17  And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18  And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
19  And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20  Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21  And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22  And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23  And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24  And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25  And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
26  Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27  And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28  And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29  See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30  So the people rested on the seventh day.


Sometimes the serpent speaks saying that "the Sabbath / dietary rules / law is for the Jews but gentiles do not have to obey it" or other such nonsense even though Yahweh clearly stated to Moses to write down that the gentiles that were grafted in and are His children ARE to obey the same rules as the Jewish people.

Exodus 20
8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.


Most "pastors" will claim that we are to obey all of Yahweh's instructions that were reiterated in the New Testament but we can ignore those instructions that Messiah Yeshua did not mention as having to obey.  Did Messiah really say this?  or i this more lies from the serpent?

Before we get back to the Old Testament where the prophets show those who follow Yahweh - including gentiles - in the end times are expected to follow His instructions (including His dietary rules and observing the Sabbath) we will examine what Messiah Yeshua said and what the apostles said.  If what Messiah Yeshua said or did contradicted Yahweh's instructions, He would not have been sin free and would have been a blemished lamb unfit for the Passover sacrifice and would never have risen.  If what one of the apostles said contradicts what Messiah Yeshua or Yahweh's instructions in the Old Testament says, either that apostle is false and would have been rejected by the Bereans OR the common serpent interpretation of what the apostle said is a false interpretation.

Messiah Yeshua said the greatest commandment is to love God and if we loved Him, we would OBEY His commandments.

Matthew 22
37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38  This is the first and great commandment.
39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.


One thousand generations would be well over the age of the earth (~20,000 or more years) so obviously this includes all the time after Messiah Yeshua's death and resurrection.  This clearly states Yahweh's commandments are ALL of His instructions in the Old Testament not the ones the serpent "pastors" claim you need to obey.

Deuteronomy 7:9  Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Messiah Yeshua warns those who claim to be His that they are NOT following Him and listening to Him if they do not obey the Father.  He tells those who are disobedient that He will reject them if they do not obey His instructions.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
G458

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

Remember - Yahweh's commandments ARE Yeshua's commandments - He and the Father are ONE meaning they agree completely.

John 10:30  I and my Father are one.

John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.


Many "pastors" claim we are not to sin but we do not have to "obey The Law".  How is this possible since sin is defined as violating the law???

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Many people love to twist the words of the apostle Paul and use them to justify their rebellion - even if the twisting of those verses completely contradicts the Old Testament AND the Messiah they Claim to follow.  One example is in the letter to the Colossians which if taken in context shows that the apostle Paul is AFFIRMING the Sabbath, the dietary rules, and observing Yahweh's feast days.  Twisting it is used to try and prove that the apostle Paul is telling them that those rules do not matter for Christians.   The apostle Paul was the apostle to the gentiles:

Ephesians 3:1  For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 

First the verses then the explanation when taken into context.

Colossians 2
16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.


Colosse was a gnostic pagan center where most of the population were pagan.  It is obvious by the context of the above verses that Paul was telling the new Christians to not let people judge them because they were now obeying Yahweh's dietary rules, His feast days, the new moon (commanded by Yahweh), and the Sabbath days.  Everything mentioned in the above passage were Yahweh's instructions.  It is very clear when understood from a historical view and in context that Paul was not telling them they could ignore Yahweh's instructions and participate in the pagan practices that were in that city because nobody would have judged them if they were participating in the pagan practices they grew up with and commonly practiced in that city.  Only someone who is rebellious or trying to deceive would use the above passage to justify not obeying Yahweh's instructions.  The Bereans would never have accepted Paul if he had taught Yahweh's instructions could be ignored.

The writer of Hebrews (Many believe to be the apostle Paul) said the Sabbath day is still to be observed:

Hebrews 4
8  For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9  There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.


Another passage the serpent likes to use to convince people they do not have to obey Yahweh is Peter's vision of the unclean animals in Acts.

Acts 10
9  On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10  And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11  And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12  Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13  And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14  But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15  And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16  This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17  Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,


Obviously from the above passage, Messiah Yeshua never taught His disciples that it was acceptable to eat what Yahweh had called unclean otherwise Peter would never have questioned this vision.  Verse 17 proves that  Peter did not accept that the vision was showing him that it was now acceptable to eat animals Yahweh said to not eat.  Verse 28 shows that Peter came to the understanding that gentiles were now accepted by Yahweh and were no longer to be considered unclean:

Acts 10:28  And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Because of the pagan practices of the gentiles, it was decided which pagan practices that the gentiles had to stop immediately and learn the rest on the Sabbath in the Synagogues.  The serpent says that those were the only things the gentiles have to do and always leaves of verse 21 when quoting Acts 15:20

Acts 13:42  And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Acts 15
20  But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21  For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.


Many "pastors" used Acts 20:7 to try and prove the "christian Sabbath" is sunday.  Most have no understanding of their own and are just parrots of what they heard someone else say.

Acts 20:7  And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Yahweh said His people are to work the first six days of the week (sunday through friday sundown) and rest on the 7th day (friday sundown to saturday sundown)   This is still the practice of the Jewish people today.  The day starts on sundown and after the Sabbath on saturday, many people meet to break bread (have a meal) or have fun until the next morning when they go to work.  The above verse is showing after the Sabbath on saturday evening, they met together for fellowship before going off to work the next morning.  Paul did not speak sunday morning to midnight - he spoke sometime after the Sabbath (maybe around 6PM) until midnight and then got up sunday morning to leave.

Many do not understand the context of Romans 14:5 where Paul says people esteem one day above another and another every day alike trying to prove it means the Sabbath or Yahweh's feasts do not matter as long as the person is persuaded in his own mind.  This is NOT at all what Paul is saying.  In Paul's time, there were groups of Jewish sects (two well known ones were the Sadducees and the Pharisees) and each had their own day the thought was the "correct" day to fast and pray.  Nowhere does Paul say this is about the Sabbath - those who say he is are hissing 'did God really say' and makes Paul out to be an enemy of Yahweh.  Verse 6 shows the interpretation if this being about the fast and prayer days the correct interpretation.

Romans 14
5  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6  He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.


The final point I will make in this post (I'll write more later) is that Yahweh expects His followers - those who have accepted Yeshua as their Messiah (Lord and Savior) to obey His rules and specifically says the Sabbath and the dietary rules are for today - basically the only two the serpent "pastors" claim are not for today.

Isaiah 56
1  Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2  Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3  Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4  For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5  Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6  Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Isaiah 65
1  I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2  I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3  A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4  Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5  Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Isaiah 66
15  For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16  For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17  They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

John15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Ear tickling pastors: The pied pipers on the broad road leading to hell


Does anyone care about truth anymore?  Poison and scripture twisting leads to apostasy and yet instead of holding the "pastors" accountable for what they are teaching, people will accept it and follow the pastor and will dis-fellowship those that try to warn of the poison seeping in.  This should be no surprise since in Ancient Israel, they did the same thing to the prophets Yahweh sent to warn the people to repent and turn away from their rebellion.

During the exodus out of Egypt when Moses went to receive Yahweh's instructions on Mt. Sinai, Aaron made a golden calf and said 'tomorrow is a feast for the Lord'.  This mixture of paganism with worship of Yahweh was an abomination and except for Mose's interceding for the people, Yahweh would have wiped them out.

Exodus 32
2  And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3  And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4  And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5  And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6  And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9  And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11  And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

In the book of Ezekiel, Yahweh shows Ezekiel the babylonian ishtar worship that Ancient Israel incorporated into their worship of Yahweh in the Holy Temple.  The people did not accept Ezekiel and told him 'go away Ezekiel, we will worship Yahweh OUR way'.  They had incorporated weeping for ba-al tammuz into their worship.  About 300 years after Yeshua's resurrection, this same pagan practice was combined with Christianity and is still practiced today - it is known as 'lent' and is the same 40 days as was the weeping for tammuz.

Ezekiel 8
13  He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
14  Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

Yahweh showed Ezekiel another greater abomination - a sunrise serice in the Holy Temple where the priests were worshiping towards the east.  This is still practiced in the church today as the ishtar (easter) sunrise service.

Ezekiel 8
13  He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
14  Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15  Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16  And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshiped the sun toward the east.

Other babylonian pagan practices that are still practiced by the church today is the making of the cakes for ishtar,  the queen of heaven.  Today these cakes are known as 'hot cross buns' featuring the cross of tammuz, ishtar's son turned husband.

Jeremiah 7:18  The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

While the incorporation of paganism with worship of Yahweh is called an abomination and examples and warnings are all throughout scripture, most who claim to be Christians will refuse the truth and justify their rebellion in worshiping Yahweh with the pagan practices He calls an abomination.  These "christians", just like Ancient Israel, justify their rebellion and claim they can worship Yahweh any way they choose to do so.  Try and show one of these "christians" the truth and they will reject it and will listen to their false "pastors" because their pastors are the same false prophets / teachers that Ancient Israel listened to when they rebelled against Yahweh and His instructions.  Notice that Yahweh said to do what He comanded and to not add or substract from it - this includes using paganism and pagan holidays to worship Him.

Deuteronomy 12
29  When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30  Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31  Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32  What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Rebellious so-called "christians" love to call those that warn them to repent and follow Yahweh's instructions "Pharisees" because their :"pastors" have taught that the Pharisees were teaching to obey Yahweh's instructions and "the law is for the Jews" and "that is Old Testament and we are in the New Testament" to justify disobedience.  The truth is, Messiah Yeshua said for the people to obey the Pharisees when they taught Yahweh's instruction but to not obey the man made traditions of man that was incorporated into their religion.  This "Jews religion" was NOT the following of Yahweh and His instruction, it was following Yahweh AND the man made traditions of the rabbis.  This is the same "Jewish Religion" of today: rabbinic Judaism.  Rabbinic Judaism is the incorporation of paganism into the worship of Yahweh and is the same as catholicism (and its daughter churches) incorporation of pagan practices into following Messiah Yeshua. 

Mark 7
5  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

What does it mean to follow Messiah Yeshua?  If you accept Him as your Savior yet do not obey or follow Him, He will REJECT you as He clearly says He will.  You can believe what Messiah says in His own words and follow His instructions or you can twist the words of the apostle Paul and follow what your "pastor" said Paul meant - which is making a "god" into your own image and following the rules you choose to follow while ignoring Yahweh's instructions.  With all of the warnings to Ancient Israel and the punishment they received for their disobedience why do you believe, in light of Messiah Yeshua's warnings to the contrary, that you can disobey Yahweh - which means ignore Messiah's instructions and warnings - and be right with Yahweh??? 

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.


Oh, I know why most "christians" do not believe they have to obey Yahweh's instructions - because their "pastor" said "Jesus nailed it to the cross" and their explanation "the law is for the Jews" and "Christians do not need to obey the law".   Some of these wolf pastors make up stories and lie or they pick and choose which instructions Messiah Yeshua said we needed to obey and claim "we only need to obey what Jesus brought into the new covenant" which is a total lie.  Yeshua was sent as the Lamb to be our atonement for sin.  To be the sin free Lamb of God, He had to (and did) lead a sin free life meaning He did not disobey the law.  If Yeshua had disobeyed any little bit of the law, He would have been rejected as the Passover lamb would be rejected if there were any spot or blemish.  If Messiah had disobeyed the law or had taught against it or taught anyone they did not have to obey it, He would have been in rebellion against Yahweh and would not have been an acceptable sacrifice to atone for sin. 

Messiah Yeshua NEVER taught against ANY of the law.  He came to fulfill the penalty for sin and after His death and resurrection, no further sacrifice was needed.  Yeshua told the woman who was caught in adultery to 'go and sin no more'  (sin being defined as violation of the law) and He meant, and she understood, it meant Yahweh's instructions also known as 'The Law' or 'The Torah.

John 8
10  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Wolf pastors such as Marco Quintana of Devore Truth claims that NINE of the ten commandments are in effect for Christians because "Jesus brought in those nine into the New Covenant" but "did not bring the Sabbath into the New Covenant" and also claims the dietary laws are not for Christians because "Jesus did not bring those into the New Covenant".  As shown previously, Yeshua could not have changed the law and then be considered sin free.  In order to be sin free, He had to obey the entire law without making it up or changing it as He went along.  The rules were set He had to obey before He came - and - get this  - HE CREATED THE LAW and His laws were known by Adam and Eve.

I have written about how Yahweh's laws were known before the flood so I'll briefly mention the proof and you can check it out for yourself as a good Berean would.

  1. Adam and Eve were clothed by the skins of animals that Yahweh killed (showing the covering of their sin) after they had sinned.
  2. Both Cain and Abel knew about sacrifices to Yahweh and His instructions for sacrifice
  3. Noah knew which animals were clean and unclean and made sacrifice of the clean animals after the flood
  4. Job was around the same time as Abraham (long before the law was re-given to Moses) and sacrificed for the sins of his sons and daughters
  5. Abraham and Isaac knew about sacrifice -  Isaac was asking where the lamb was when  Abraham was instructed to offer up Isaac as a sacrifice.
  6. The instructions about the Sabbath was given to Ancient Israel during the exodus in the chapter before the law was re-given to Moses.  The instruction was for Ancient Israel as well as for the animals and for the gentiles that were with them

The prophets of the Old Testament wrote about what is going to happen in the future.  Now we are in the end of the end times, some of those prophecies have recently came to pass and some are about to come to pass. Speaking about the time Messiah Yeshua returns, the prophet Isaiah clearly shows that even gentiles will be obeying Yahweh's commandments including keeping the Sabbath Holy:

Isaiah 56
1  Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2  Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3  Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4  For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5  Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6  Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 

The prophet Isaiah wrote of the end times and how there would be people who thought they were "holier than thou"  and violating Yahweh's instructions and Yahweh calls those people an abomination and smoke in His nostrils.

Isaiah 65
1  I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2  I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3  A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4  Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5  Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Here is the prophecy about Israel being born in a day:

Isaiah 66:8  Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

and later on in the chapter telling of Yahweh's judgment

Isaiah 66
16  For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17  They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.


The false pastors justify the rebellion they teach - some may be deceived although most are wolves who KNOWINGLY teach rebellion against Yahweh.    Some of these wolves admit that x-mass and ishtar are pagan although they justify their use in "christianity" even though the scripture clearly shows they are abominations against Yahweh yet they may tickle the ears of "christians" with their prophecy updates, with their commentaries,  their conspiracy theories, or other pet doctrines and people love what they speak of so much they never question what those wolves are teaching them. 

Throughout the New Testament, it is shown that ALL the disciples / apostles observed the law and never taught against it.  Most false "christians" believe the apostle Paul taught that Christians do not have to obey the law -because that is what their "pastor" has taught them.  These people twist the words of the apostle Paul to their own destruction.

2 Peter 3
14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

There is no longer a love of the truth.  The people love the ear tickling false pastors and will heap more and more of them and will reject those who try and warn them of what Messiah Yeshua expects of His followers.  It is Ancient Israel in their rebellion all over again.



2 Timothy 4
3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.



Most who claim to be Christians have no clue what "The Law" is because their false pastors scare them with it using "The Law" like a "curse word".  Yahweh's instructions are far less than the instructions of whatever land you live in.  Not all the instructions are for everyone just as some of the laws of the land are not for everyone.  One example is the regulation for pilots - if you are not a pilot, those laws do not apply to you.  Some of Yahweh's instructions are for women only, some for men only, some of the government, some regarding fields and farming, and some for the sacrificial system / high priests.   Here is one list of the 613 instructions Yahweh has given His people:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_commandments   Only a wolf would speak against Yahweh's instructions.  Messiah Yeshua said we are to OBEY them - you cannot accept Someone as your Lord and follow Him if you refuse to OBEY.  His sheep hear His voice and FOLLOW Him (or is that a "work" as so many false "christians" claim???)

John 10
27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

It is very telling when a "pastor" says we are to not break the laws of the land and we are to obey the government and the millions of laws of the land but they claim we do not have to obey the instructions that Yahweh gave us to live by when there are only 613 of them (as counted by the rabbis).  The truth be told, most of these wolf pastors have no problem with most of Yahweh's instructions and are rebellious when if comes to Yahweh's dietary instructions, the Sabbath observance, and the admonition to not participate in pagan holidays.  Or maybe some of them have issues with Yahweh's instructions to not commit incest, adultery, homosexuality,  or bestiality?   They have to have some reason for teaching that the government's laws are to be obeyed but not Yahweh's.

If you have an issue regarding one of Yahweh's instructions, leave a comment and I will write about it.  I have already written about the dietary laws and the Sabbath although will do so again if there is a specific question or issue with understanding them.

Yeshua is the Word of God

John 1
1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.


John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
