[Matthew 5:19-20] Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
[Revelation 14:12] Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
[Ecclesiastes 12:13] This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
[Hebrews 10:28] A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

Be patient with yourself and others who don’t know better…It takes all of these things aligning just right in our lives to get the victory over our vain beliefs. Some people have only experienced one or two of these key needs and therefore can’t conquer their customs or even see a cause for trying.
Remember, who someone truly is not who they are now but who they were, are, and will be. If there’s a difference between who they were and are the result of that’s their choices and those around them before now. Who they will be in the future will be the result of their choices and those of the ones around them now. If you see someone who is not as they should be and could be (who doesn’t know any better as yet) you have the chance to be the person who could help them get there or elsewise you could be the reason they revert to old hurts and heathenways.
It took you passing through many terrors and much trouble to come to see your cherished ways as pagan and put them away. Others have not experienced the same things you needed to wake you from dreaming.
Therefore, be gentle with the sleepers.
But with those who do know better, with the wakeful pagans in the pastorate, with these heathen preachers keeping people sleeping and satisfied with lies and leftovers, with these be harsh. With monsters preying upon innocent people be merciless. With the madness of the times and her evil teachers be a holy terror.
And be mindful of the difference between the sleepers and the savages. The one must not be mistaken for the other nor ever treated like the other.

(Disclaimer for those who will need to apply their own context to the above: a call to be harsh and cruel to lying theologians is no call for physical violence. This should go without saying but alas it’s often easier for people to decide your words mean whatever mean thing they imagine they mean in their own mind…)
It’s hard to engage in economic development when you’re struggling just to hold on to your land. That’s the situation of the Jewish pioneers in Judea walking out the commandments and promises of God to reclaim and settle their ancestral homeland. There is great reason for hope, both for Israel and all the nations of the eath, as Samuel and Keila Wearp tell us in this third part of our conversation.
Of course, it would help if Jews and Christians could get along, both with each other and with themselves. That’s what our God desires, as Barry Phillips and David Jones explain in their midrash, “Same Mind, Same Spirit.” We hear that message as well in the music of Dylan White and Wilderness Cry.

isaiah 42:1 (truncated)
- “Here is My Servant, whom I uphold,
My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. -
YHWH has a Soul!
so why do we think souls are 'living beings'?
gen 2:7
- Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being -
now the word soul is nephesh, a noun, breath, related to naphash, a verb, to breathe. the activity of breathing, or respiration.
and the 'living being' of gen 2:7 is nephesh chay, which maybe could better be said as 'soul living'. as in in flesh, for animals are described like this too.
respiration encapsuled in now-living flesh. for that what lives in creation (the enlivened flesh) will also die.
but, leaving animals out of it now, and focussing on humans, when our flesh dies we know our souls go to 'sleep'.
yet YHWH has no flesh which will die, yet He also has a Soul.
i'm not going to YHWH's Spirit being placed in Yeshua yet, i'm looking at what i can understand at what is being described just before this happens in isaiah 42:1.
also, i'm no scholar of hebrew, nor of greek, i'm a scholar of understanding.
and so my understanding leans toward soul being the respiration of spirit. and it being a description of an activity, i understand it to be what we call consciousness.
(not to divert too much, but one can ponder the Neshamah OF the Ruach...also in gen 2:7, and no, they're not the same thing.)
no consciousness, no activity going on.
so YHWH, who is Spirit, is saying His Consciousness delights in His Chosen One.
to be fair, this was the last penny to drop in the buildup of my understanding of things spiritual, the spirit is far more clearly distinguished in the text of the Word. the understanding of soul needs to be worked out by implication.
yet the ancients clearly also understood their soul was separate to their state of nephesh chay, of being a living being. for they refer to it separately.
but spirit, i'm talking about our spirit, only gets talked about clearly in the gospels, where Yeshua explains we need to be born a second time, in spirit.
so we are physically created 'soul-living' , but have to undergo a further process of creation of 'spirit-living'.
we are created by the Neshamah, but have to undergo the creation by the Ruach...
now i don't want to get too much into what the spirit is all about, because soul is the subject.
and the parable of the sower is all about soul, or soil.
the seeds of the trees that are reflections of our spirits are sown, with the intention of bearing fruit.
and it is in our soul/soil that the seeds grow. in our consciousness.
yet there are differing results depending on the state of the soil/soul.
or maybe, in which soil is sown.
and now i get to the reason i started writing this post, which was to clarify the 'development' of the soul.
if we look at the soul as a (complete) patch of ground, a garden, as it were, and it having different areas of soil with different properties, like as described in the parable, well, can you see how seeds sown in those different areas will perform/grow differently?
to make it more complex, the different areas themselves undergo a development process, a fertilisation process (the parable of the gardener digging around the tree in the third year, for fruit or axe the NEXT year) because there are different trees needing to grow in the different areas.
it's very important to see the differentiation into four distinct areas is pointing out how to look at all these other references to four different things. things of the soul.
one step further, seeing the soils as lands, starts showing the real spiritual layer underneath the story of the israelites path from egypt through the wilderness to canaan, and the need for the temple to be built in jerusalem.
for the land is always there, it just needs to be changed, fertilised, populated. how many times do you not see jerusalem being described as a wasteland? waiting? for what?
please ask questions, i know what i'm talking about, it just feels like i'm talking a different language to everybody else.
"buy a sword"
Lk 22
Isaiah 11:10, “On that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him, and His place of rest will be glorious.” Most scholars agree that the Jesse in this verse is David’s father, confirming the prophecy of Jacob. Genesis 49:10, “The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his. “
