THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION PARASHA 17 "YITRO" Sh'mot/Ex 18:1-20:23. http://www.bethgoyim.org/video....%20TRC/Parash%20Stud

Be perfect to the very best of your abilities knowing that there is only One Saint in all of human existence who layed down His life in order to bridge the gap we just could never jump. No other human is a saint and only a fool would claim to be a saint implying that they are perfect; which is a lie. And no saint is a liar. What does it mean to be perfect? It means to always do the right thing; or to always choose Yahuah's Torah first. When you choose Yahuah's Way then you side with justice, which we are all guilty of breaking and therefore will never truly be perfect, hense the sacrifice. HalleluYah! Shalom, fellow humans!

The first five of the #tencommandments correlate to the second five in consecutive order.
1-God : 6-Image of God
2-No idolatry : 7-No adultery
3-Take God's Name : 8-Take another's property
4-Rest for others : 9-Security for others
5-Honor father's house : 10-Honor others' houses

They correlate in reverse order too (chiastically), but that's a little harder to see on the surface level.

You've hopefully seen my "Falsely Accused: Paul" comic. This comic is taking what most people are falsely accusing him of today, and applying it to his visit to James in Acts.

In this account, there are rumors going around of Paul that he is teaching people to not do the Law of Moses, even to not circumcise their children. What does James say? He says he knows it is not true and for Paul to go along with some men to do the Nazarite vow to show he does indeed follow the Law still so everyone can see that these rumors aren't true.

We can't read the Bible in a bubble. We can't go and read Paul's letters and say "see, here he is teaching against the Law", when we have accounts like this one that the very topic of Paul teaching against the Law is found to be false.

Because if he was indeed teaching against the Law, I do believe this comic is how it would have played out. It might have even had some more serious consequences like those at the start of Acts 5. Then we would not even have his letters in our Bibles.

Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge.
Proverbs 22:17 TLV

Be intentional about learning wisdom. You can learn just from being in the presence of the wise, but you will gain true wisdom by studying them and their words, by memorizing, emulating, and conforming your thinking to theirs.
