A fourth set of passages I would like to discuss regarding Paul.
Nature teaches its a shame for a man to have long hair? Hellenists did. But Yah didnt.
1Co 11:14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
Judges 13:5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
A third set of passages about Paul, up for discussion.
John said Yah is love:
1Jn 4:8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
Paul said love does not envy:
1Co 13:4 HNV Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
Yah said he is a jealous elohim:
Exo 20:5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Who's right?
A second set of passages I would like to discuss regarding Paul.
Neither male nor female?
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.
Gen 1:27 HNV God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
I have several passages I would like to discuss in reference to Paul. I will break them up into several posts.
Do not fear a false prophet-the test of a prophet:
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
Deut 13: 1 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”
3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (Compare)
4 You shall walk after the LORD your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which the LORD your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
Devarim, the Hebrew name of Deuteronomy, means "words" and is from Deuteronomy 1:1: "These are the words..." This book used to be called Mishneh HaTorah or "repetition of the Torah". Deuteronomos, the Greek name, means "second law" and also refers to the book's recapitulation of the Law. Although it primarily contains the spoken words of Moses, Joshua or Pinchas may have acted as his scribe.
Here are some apostolic passages to study alongside #torah Parsha #devarim (#deuteronomy 1:1-3:22), plus links to commentary and related videos: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/05/09/parsha-de
Shavua tov! This week's Torah portion is Devarim, which means "words." (In Hebrew, the -im ending to a word tells us that it's plural.) This is the first portion of the book of Deuteronomy.
We love the book of Deuteronomy, as you've probably heard us say before. In this book, we see a shift in style from the previous books of the Torah. We know that "these are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel" before they entered the Promised Land, at the very end of their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. He was speaking to the children of those who came out of Egypt, and Moses' grandfatherly concern is constantly warning them to teach their children and grandchildren. In fact, in our opinion, the book of Deuteronomy has more to say about how to pass the truth on to our children than any other book in the Bible.
We also love that this book is written in topics, rather than chronologically. Maybe it's our personality, but our brains think like this. If you'd like to see a study Anne wrote several years ago on the topics of Deuteronomy, you can access that here:

In this week's portion, God rehearses what He has already done for Israel, so that they will trust Him and not rebel. The theme is "Fear equals rebellion."
- When we don't obey, it's because we don't trust God (1:32).
- Looking at everything but YHVH = rebellion (1:26).
- Being unwilling to go into the Land (1:26)
- Grumbling ("YHVH hates us") (1:27)
- Blaming brothers for sin (1:28)
- Comparing one's self to others (1:28)
Finally, we feel that the book of Deuteronomy is very appropriate for us in our time as well. As we look forward to the future, to "crossing over into the Promised Land" of Israel and to the return of Yeshua our Messiah, we should take careful heed to the warnings and instructions in this book, so that we will rid our lives and homes of any hint of idolatry and uncleanness.
May you be blessed as you study Devarim with your children this week!

While we study Torah to understand the New Testament, we must remember we live in the days of Yeshua, not the days of Moses.
