[Levi] who said of his father and mother, 'I regard them not'; he disowned his brothers and ignored his children. For they observed your word and kept your covenant.
Deuteronomy 33:9
This verse speaks of Levi disregarding his own family as a good thing worthy of reward. This is a reference to the day of the golden calf on which men of Levi killed all those who worshiped it, even his own parents, brothers, and children. Compare this to Yeshua's words in Matthew 10:37. Yeshua wasn't saying anyone needs to kill his family, but that anyone who values family over him isn't worthy of him. Whoever values Yeshua over all earthly things is worthy of rewards above and beyond eternal salvation.

Thought for Today: Thursday October 13:
May you guard your heart from toxic influences today. May you steward your times of rest so they will truly replenish you. May you cast down every negative, defeating thought that sets itself above the Knowledge and Goodness of YHVH. May you give Adonai His rightful place in your life, above all fears, above your worries and above your frustrations. He is Elohiym Most High and when He reigns in your life, you will thrive.
Don't let anyone tell you that the way you dress makes you unworthy of love and/or fellowship. The tax collectors, prostitutes, fisherman and others that Yeshua chose to be with, were doubtfully dressed in a way that was acceptable to the pious and proud! i.e. many assemblies and churches of today!
You are loved!
You are beautiful!
You are His!
You are welcome with us!
If the dress code holds a higher standard than the 2nd greatest command than just RUN!
Yeshua is waiting with open arms and we are too! Rips, tears, makeup, barefoot, heels, long skirt or short....broken hearts or whole...Learn His Ways with Us that We May Know Him and walk together!!!
You Are Invited...Just as You Are!
❤️❤️❤️

This is a common verse given to counter when someone says they are pursuing the Law (the Torah, God's Commands, the OT commands, etc...). However, is the common understanding of this verse correct? I've mentioned in other comics that Scripture shows Paul was very smart and understood Torah better than most. Someone at that level of understanding, cannot be easily understood by people unfamiliar with his foundation. Most Christians do not have the same foundation. We are taught from very early in our walk that the Law is not for us. So when we read it, we don't take the time to understand or absorb it.
However, as I point out in this comic, if we look back at what Paul is referencing and other places in Scripture where those same concepts and what they are applied to: we see that Paul cannot be saying we do not do the Law. If he is, he is contradicting Scripture. And, as I point out at the end of the comic, he is contradicting himself.
This is the dilemma: Who is wrong? Paul, by his contradictions? Or us, by our long-standing interpretation of what Paul is saying? I've seen many go down the Paul is wrong path, and end up losing their faith all together. Maybe it is time we start questioning our own interpretations and let the Bible interpret itself.
