My calling has always been to the ones who claim to be taught ones, but would rather fit in. You want to fit in so don't forget you still gotta avoid sin. You can claim ignorance, but you are throwing your salvation in the garbage bin. Your crazy if you think your opinion surpasses Torah like wearing a hat of tin.

Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Being created in the image of God makes mankind different from any of the other living beings on earth and in heaven as well. we read that we are different than the animals and different than the divine beings we know as angels. Being genetically similar to an animal or even a plant is very different than being of that “kind” or species. As David reminds us in Psalm 139:14, “I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.”

"Traditions of men"

In line with the new Topic for this month, I am often told that I am following the traditions of men by following Torah. Which makes me wonder:

1. What is the true definition for "traditions of men"?
2. Are all traditions of men sinful?
3. Can we support someone with a tradition they follow if it doesn't cause them to sin?

What are your thoughts on this?

Is idolatry allowed in Torah? Not Yahuah’s Torah that’s for sure. Ba’al Gad worship is the traditions of men.

1. The traditions of men are manmade laws and habits and holidays.
2. Not all traditions of men are sinful. Going for an evening walk with your offspring everyday is not sinful. It is a tradition of man that a sabbath days walk not exceed half a mile. If you walk more than that, the tradition of man says you are sinning. However, sin is transgression of Torah, not rabbinical traditions. Torah says everyone is to stay in their own place. Yeshua did not have a place to lay His head and frequented the synagogues on sabbath. Did He sin by not staying in His place, or is in his own place possibly a larger area, such as a neighborhood or town? In his own place is the commandment we need to be concerned with, not the sabbath days walk.
3. Yes, we can support someone with a tradition of men. There is no sin in having a habit of daily walking, which is not a commandment of Torah, and is therefore your own tradition as a man.

1. Anything WE created that we "have" to follow. We, as people, create traditions all the time. Those that say they don't have traditions, are following a tradition of not following other known traditions. They are actively making sure they aren't getting caught up in something.
2. Nope, we see Yeshua following one of those traditions (Weekly Portions) in Luke 4:17-21. This Isaiah portion could have once been part of the Nitsavim portion (which starts just after what Yeshua read).
3. I don't know what you mean by support? Like, I feel supporting someone is encouraging, helping, facilitating what they do. If someone wants to where tefflin, I am not going to encourage them, but I am also not going to discourage them. If they try to push it on other believers (especially me and my family), I might then step in with challenges and Scripture.

I had some comeback earlier this week where I was told that people sharing the Bible as the focus of their life should still have a job as an income.

My view is that this isn't the example we see in Scripture as the Priests and Levites didn't get land as their inheritance. Their service to Father is/was their inheritance. Therefore if I pull it through to the church structure then those ministering is doing work and should therefore not have to get a secular job for an income.

Paul as example tells the church that he had full right to ask them to support him in his ministry, but he didn't want them to boast in doing so and therefore paid for his own expences.
