“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Jeremiah 1:5
>God knows you!<
Moses and Jeremiah both thought that they were unqualified and unworthy of the role for which God had chosen them. Eventually they decided to trust God's judgment and then they changed the world.
Lily Portion for Today:
Mom, teach your children that to trust Elohiym, is to start every day as if nothing at all has been done before. (Prayer: Adonai of my life, I praise You as the Author and Perfecter of my family and my faith. Trusting in Your Love and Loyalty, my family and I surrender ourselves to You unconditionally, amein)

Most know the sarcasm about making assumptions… when we make the wrong assumption we look foolish. Often making the wrong assumption is the result of not having all of the information needed to establish the correct result and that is a why we are told this in Deuteronomy 19:15, “One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established” We should obtain as much informations as possible before reaching a conclusion that may cause us to appear foolish.
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
If someone is accused of not following the law and no witnesses are found against that person and then tells others to go do what they themselves did, is that person then telling them to go break the law?
If the accused then employes someone to go teach others what they have taught their employee, does the employee then go and teach others to break the law?
1 - Matt 26:59-60a "Now the chief priests and the whole Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) tried to get false witnesses to testify against Jesus, so that they might [have a reason to] put Him to death. They found none, even though many false witnesses came forward."
1 - Matt 28:20a "teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you"
1 - Acts 9 then speaks of Saul meeting with Yeshua, but verses 15 & 16 is the crux of the message "But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this man is a [deliberately] chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; for I will make clear to him how much he must suffer and endure for My name’s sake.”
3 - Paul wouldn't have taugh against Yeshua (who taught Torah) as he was commissioned to spread the Good News of Yeshua being the Messiah.
My view is therefore if there is something that I read where it seems like Yeshua, Paul or any other writer is going against Torah then I need to dig deeper as the error is in my understanding of the writing.
This mindset is what got me out of modern-Christianity and the foundation of my understanding of what was taught in the New Testament.
