DISCUSSION POINT-- and please help me see things from a different view if you think I am wrong.
Elohiym created us in His Image. Thus we are perfect. If you think you are a failure, murderer, thief or anything else, then you actually say that YHVH is not perfect. In my view, the problem lies with us as humans. It is like a computer, if you do not have protection, viruses can creep in. The same with our lives, if you do not apply Bible and prayer protection, demonic viruses do creep in. But we all are taught in a wrong way from an early age. My view is this; from pre-school, primary school, high school, colleges and even universities, we all learn a "trade" how to go to work, do our jobs, and earn money to make a living and to pay our slave masters. Which is wrong! In Bible times, fathers took their sons, mothers their daughters and taught them their trades, how to be self efficient. How to make a "free" living, but we all became slaves, slaves to mortgages, to car payments, taxes, pensions and thus, many adopted to upload viruses, thinking we will be beter off. Many turned out to become thieves, murderers, and many choose an uneducated job where we do not have to make an effort, where we can lay low, not to put the focus on ourselves. We end up in divorce courts due to the lack of supporting each other. We all need to break loose from this evil pattern. We need to reset to factory settings -- thus believing in the One in Whose Image we are made, to have faith whatever happens. For so long we were taught traditional ways how to pray in tongues (saying a verse in a foreign language over and over), we are taught how to bind hasatan, we are taught how to bless our homes, our families, YET, nobody realising that hasatan laughs at you for these traditions! There is only 2 ways of which he is scared and 1 way he tries his atmost for you to avoid. He is scared to hell and back when you say "It is written" He is scared to hell and back when you earnestly pray humble prayers and he does his atmost to discourage you to read the Bible. Thus, we need to teach our children from a young age, about YHVH, how to be humble, honest and obedient to Him, rather than the world. For us as older generation, we need to come together, pray FOR and WITH each other. We need to voice in unity that we do not agree with the wrongs of this world and not keep quiet for peace sake. To keep quiet is in my view to agree with the wrongs, as long as you not do it yourself. The best example of this is the lives of Elijah and Elisha. They did not care about kings and authorities, yet YHVH kept them save, blessed them and was with them their entire lives. YHVH Elohiym is Perfect, every human is perfectly and uniquely made, it is the viruses of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, adultery, lust, power etc, that needs to be erased. Love YHVH Elohiym with all your heart, all your mind, your soul, your life and trust fully in Him alone. Love your neighbour as you love yourself. This means also to forgive them as Elohiym forgives.
Thought for Today: Monday July 15
The believers who appear in Scripture, were competent, secure, qualified people who had responsible roles to fill. And still today, YHVH still gives believers more than they request by going deeper than they ask. He wants not only the believer’s whole hearts; He wants their hearts to be whole.
Mat 5:19 BSB So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
If you cant teach others to keep the least of the commandments because you dont keep them yourself, you shouldnt be teaching.
It's interesting that the self appointed "teachers" on here only seek to point out the obvious, or distort it. Sincere questions are rarely addressed. If they are somewhat addressed, it's gone about by leading elsewhere and avoiding the direct answer to the question. If they can only feed milk, they shouldn't portray that they have meat!
Lev 17:7 BSB They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
This is regarding all animals that were to be eaten. However, later, this statute is removed, even though it says here "this will be a permanent statute".
Deu 12:15 BSB But whenever you want, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your gates, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. Both the ceremonially clean and unclean may eat it as they would a gazelle or deer,
So does permanent not mean permanent? Was it mistranslated? What is going on here?
Proverbs 14:23 has a physical and a spiritual application. In both cases action is better than talk. This is my best advice for the Hebrew Roots movement…

One mark of an effective leader is the wisdom to choose the right battle. Never choose contrary to God. Not every road block is placed in your path by Satan. God sometimes makes a path harder in order to discourage bad decisions or to promote personal or spiritual growth.
Balaam struck the donkey three times and then God struck Balaam and Balak three times. They were slow learners like you and me.
Greed and fear lie at the root of countless bad decisions. Just ask Balak, Balaam, Haman, and Hitler.
Numbers 22-25
The story of the Little Red Hen, an old folktale, was first published in 1874. It gained greatly in popularity with the “Little Golden Books” series throughout the early-mid 20th century.

The Little Red Hen
One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat. "This wheat should be planted," she said. "Who will plant this grain of wheat?" "Not I," said the Duck. "Not I," said the Cat. "Not I," said the Dog. "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow. "The wheat is ripe," said the Little Red Hen. "Who will cut the wheat?" "Not I," said the Duck. "Not I," said the Cat. "Not I," said the Dog. "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will thresh the wheat?" "Not I," said the Duck. "Not I," said the Cat. "Not I," said the Dog. "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
When the wheat was threshed, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will take this wheat to the mill?" "Not I," said the Duck. "Not I," said the Cat. "Not I," said the Dog. "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said, "Who will make this flour into bread?" "Not I," said the Duck. "Not I," said the Cat. "Not I," said the Dog. "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
She made and baked the bread. Then she said, "Who will eat this bread?" "Oh! I will," said the Duck. "And I will," said the Cat. "And I will," said the Dog. "No, No!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will do that." And she did.

“And indeed, all those wishing to live reverently in Messiah Yeshua, shall be persecuted. But evil men and impostors shall go on to the worse, leading astray and being led astray. But you, stay in what you have learned and trusted, having known from whom you have learned, and that from a babe you have known the set-apart scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Messiah Yeshua. All scripture is breathed out by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every excellent work.”
“And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped Elohim who sat on the throne, saying, ‘Amen! Halleluyah!’ And a voice came from the throne, saying, ‘Praise our Elohim, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!’ And I heard as the voice of a great crowd, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, ‘Halleluyah, for YHWH Ěl Shaddai reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself. And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteousness of the Qedoshim!’” (Qedoshim – Set-Apart ones, Saints)
“Here is the endurance of the Qedoshim, here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the faith of Yeshua.”
“And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of Yeshua Messiah.”
“We command you, brothers, in the Name of our Master Yeshua Messiah, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, for we were not disorderly among you, nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but worked with labor and toil night and day, in order not to burden any of you, not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example, for you to imitate us. For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone does not wish to work, neither let him eat.”
