The men who wrote the New Testament were under no delusion that they were writing the words of the Creator. Although many people consider the letters scripture, the writers would probably not. 2 Timothy 3:16—17, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.” As Paul writes this he is not referring to the gospels which were written afterward — he is referring to what we know as the Old Testament.
Thought for Today: Tuesday June 06:
It is significant that after giving the Commandments, is the story of the building of the sacrificial altar. The Ten Commandments were given first but the Law and the altar go together. The Law reveal that we are sinners and that we need forgiveness. But the Law also reveals that the only path to forgiveness is through sacrifice. The Law enable us to see ourselves as morally dirty and in need of cleansing. It also points us to the place of cleansing --- the Cross of Moshiach.
BIBLE STUDY LESSON 03
SERIES R --- THE GOOD SHEPHERD
YHVH OR SATAN?
WITH YESHUA THROUGH GALILEE
From Luke 8:1-3
After His visit in Simon’s house, Yeshua began a tour through Galilee, telling the Good News about the Kingdom of YHVH. The twelve apostles went with Yeshua, as well as some women whom He had freed from evil spirits and healed. There was Mary Magdalene, from whom Yeshua had driven seven devils, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, one of Herod’s officers. With Him also was Susanna and many other women who contributed their own money to care for Yeshua and the apostles.
WHERE DID YESHUA GET HIS POWER?
From Matthew 12:22-37
One day some people brought to Yeshua a man who was blind and could not talk because of a demon in him. When Yeshua drove out the demon so that the man was well, the crowds around Him were amazed. [Could this be the Son of David, the Moshiach?] they asked. When the Pharisees heard that, they quickly tried to put down the idea. [He can order demons from people because His power comes from Satan, the ruler over all the demons,] they argued. But Yeshua knew what they were thinking. [Any kingdom that divides into little kingdoms that fight each other will never last. It is the same with any city or family. They will soon pass into ruin. Now if Satan casts out demons, then he is fighting himself, and his kingdom will soon be destroyed. And if I cast out demons by Satan’s power, then what power do your followers use to cast them out? Let them judge what you have just said. But if I cast out demons with the power of YHVH’s Spirit, then YHVH’s Kingdom has come to you. No one can go into a strong man’s house and steal his things without first binding the strong man. Thus, demons can be cast out only by binding Satan first. [Anyone who is not working with Me is working against Me. Anyone who does not help Me gather, scatters. Let Me warn you that every kind of sin or evil saying can be forgiven except evil sayings against Ruach HaKodesh. Those will never be forgiven, in this world or the next. Whoever speaks against Me will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against Ruach HaKodesh will not be forgiven, in this world or the next. [A tree is recognized by its fruit. Good trees give good fruit. Bad trees give bad fruit. You snakes! How can you give good counsel when you are evil? The mouth speaks only what is already in the heart. A good man brings forth good things from the treasure in his heart. An evil man brings forth evil things from the evil resources in his heart. Let Me warn you that on the Judgment Day men will have to account for every foolish word that they speak. By your words YHVH will judge you innocent, or by your words He will judge you guilty.]
SHOW US A MIRACLE
From Matthew 12:38-45
[Why don’t You show us a miracle?] asked some of the Pharisees and teachers of the Law. [You want Me to prove further who I am?] Yeshua replied. [No. I will give you no further proof except that of Jonah the prophet. Jonah spent three days and nights in the belly of a great fish. In a similar way, I will spend three days and nights in the depths of the earth. [On the Judgment Day, the people of Nineveh will stand to condemn you, for they turned from their sins when Jonah preached to them, but you have not, even when you have heard Someone greater than Jonah. The Queen of Sheba will also stand up on the Judgment Day to condemn you, for she came from lands far away to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, but you will not listen to Someone greater than Solomon who is right here with you. [You are like a man who has had a demon cast from him. The demon wanders through the deserts, looking for a new home. But when he does not find one, he returns to the man from whom he came. Although the man has purified his heart, he has left it empty. Finding the empty heart, the demon goes out and returns with seven other demons worse than himself. Together, they occupy the man’s empty heart and that man is worse in the end than in the beginning. That’s the way it will be with you, for you have foolishly left your hearts empty.]
WHO IS MY BROTHER?
From Mark 3:31-35
While Yeshua spoke to a crowd one day, His mother and brothers came to see Him. But there were so many people in the house where Yeshua spoke that they could not get in. So, they sent word for Him to come out to see them. [Your mother and brothers are outside,] someone said. Yeshua used this occasion to talk about a family bond stronger than any earthly family. [Who is My mother and who are My brothers?] He asked. Then He turned to those who had gathered around Him. [You are My mother and brothers,] He said, [for anyone who does what YHVH wants is My brother and sister and mother.]
COMMENTARY
YESHUA’ FAMILY ANCESTORS
The ancestors of Yeshua’ family came in all varieties, as most ancestors do. There were kings and commoners, rich and poor, people of spotless reputation and those whose reputation was not so good. Royal ancestors included King David, Israel’s greatest warrior king, and King Solomon, Israel’s richest and sometimes wisest king. Abraham and Jacob were shepherds, as were others in the family tree. Ruth was not an Israelite, but a Moabite. Rahab, who draped a scarlet cord from her window at Jericho when Joshua invaded, was also not an Israelite, but a Canaanite. The unexpected appear in the family tree. The lineage came through Judah, Jacob’s son who did not keep his reputation well, not Joseph, Jacob’s favourite son. It came also through Leah, who had been forced upon Jacob as a wife, instead of through Rachel, Jacob’s beloved. Yeshua’ family genealogy appears in two places in the Bible -- Luke 3:23-38, which goes backwards through time from Mary’s husband Joseph to Adam, and -- Matthew 1:11 7, which moves forward through time from Abraham to Joseph. This genealogy points out the clear division of fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the deportation to Babylon, and fourteen from that time to Joseph. While both genealogies are reckoned to Mary’s husband Joseph, the accounts quickly point out that Yeshua was YHVH’s Son and that Joseph was chosen to care for Him.

bible study on Faith and love
When God-haters call you names and make false accusations, don't be concerned. #yeshua told us to expect it.
However, don't respond by vindicating their accusations. Whenever possible, respond with truth, but not rancor. Your kindness is unlikely to be received--in fact, it will probably just enrage them all the more--but you're in it to please God, not God-haters.
(Preaching to myself!)
