The name of this week's #torah portion, Ekev, means "because" (from Deut 7:12: "Because you listen...") Here's a list of Apostolic passages to study alongside Parsha #ekev (#deuteronomy 7:12-11:25), plus links to related commentary and video: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/01/22/parsha-ei

Throwback to last winter when we had over a foot of snow for the first time in years. I can't wait for winter to return and hope we get just as much snow this year

Jude 1:3, “ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” In this letter Jude, wanted to write of salvation and instead urges the readers to strive for the faith once delivered. Jude is reminding them to do the things that Moses had written because they were using grace as an excuse to sin. What message are we now offering to others — the faith once delivered or a faith filled with excuses?

People dont realize sabbath is the end from the beginning.

18 The End From The Beginning - Google Docs

The End From The Beginning Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: The creation week describes what happened here o

“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”

Pr 29

{From a conversation on:
"Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Mt 15}

The Pharisees held many plants which needed to be rooted up, but Christ said they sat in Moses' seat, which was certainly planted by the Father - and Paul, who gave up the heresies, remained a Pharisee, thus half or more of the Greek Scriptures were written by a Pharisee: another plant certainly planted by the Father.

In fact, Christ's words were: "all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not." Mt 23 (Obviously not referring to the traditions of the elders which they taught, but whatever they said from the seat of Moses.)

So one could say from this that the main fault of the Pharisees was in not following the Phariseeism that they taught, but following other traditions instead of Pharisaical keeping of God's Law, which they above all people should have followed.
