This is Paul Nison's wife from Torah Life Ministries. She wears a niqab (face covering), but she isn't Muslim. She is Hebrew Roots. I believe in modesty, but I think this is extreme. Thoughts?

Comment

Most of the times when people think this is extreme is because of the indoctrination of the Christian religion and their extreme discrimination against other religions. if you were familiar with the Hebrew scriptures you would know that Hebrew women used to wear a head cover as well as a veil. Some Hebrew women that have a close relationship with the Most High and have a heart after the Most High still practice these Hebrew practices today.

The command that a woman should wear a head covering is not in the Torah of the old testament and neither does Jesus teach that it is good nor bad for a woman to wear a head covering. Therefore, it seems that it is just a tradition of men rather than a commandment of God. Not all traditions are bad (such as the washing of hands before eating) but should not be treated as a commandment of God.

In the same way, the tradition that a man should not have anything on his head while praying or prophesying might not be a bad thing but what about the man who has his head covered for protection in extreme weather and wants to pray? Some places get really cold, like where I live, it can get to around -40. Not to mention the man who "prays without ceasing";1 Thessalonians 5:17

He is an extremist so this isn't surprising at all!

Tamar, possibly the daughter of a pagan Canaanite priest, was joined to Israel through marriage, and became an honored ancestor of David and Yeshua, one of only three women mentioned by name in the genealogy of Matthew 1.

Rahab was condemned to death as a Canaanite of Jericho, but because she put her faith in the God of Israel, she was counted as an Israelite, and became an ancestor of Messiah as well as an example for all who would believe in Him.

Ruth was a pagan Moabite, an enemy of Israel, but like Rahab, she chose to put her faith in the God of Israel and was counted as an Israelite, becoming an ancestor of King David and Messiah Yeshua.

When Judah heard that Tamar had been "sleeping around", he made a public call for her execution. Contrast this to her discrete defense. She sent a message to him asking "Whose ring and staff and cord are these?" in Genesis 38:25. She tacitly pointed out that if she was guilty, so was he, but she did so in a way that gave him the option of admitting his guilt or denying it. Hence his statement in the v26:

*Then Judah identified them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.*

Consider also how different Judah's public shaming of Tamar was from Joseph's decision to quietly put Mary away when he discovered that she was pregnant with someone else's child.

The next 2 weeks will bring Christmas for Christians and Hanukkah for the Jewish believers. These holidays have nothing in common other than they both occur in the winter… or do they? Some have speculated Yeshua/Jesus was conceived at Hanukkah. Of course that would change the birth date to sometime in the fall of the years around the feast of tabernacles.

Thats how i have understood it. He was conceived at the darkets time of the year. Life begins at conception. He is the Light of the World. He then 9 months kater was born at the beginning of Sukkot and circumcised on the 8th day. The last great day. Or Elohim is the creator of order and does nothing randomly. His plan is worked out withing His set apart days.

I used to believe that life begins at conception also and have amended that because we are created as eternal beings. Our physical life on this earth does begin at conception but our real life begins when the Creator speaks us into existence. Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I set you apart
and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” If He knows us before we are born, we must be alive. Some are appointed as prophets, some as carpenters, some plumbers or doctors but each of us have been given the skills to benefit the people around us. I hope that isn't confusing.

Thought for Today: Tuesday December 13:

Remember, the moment you were born, YHVH awakened the purpose He put within you – and He is attentive to that purpose every day of your life. So, today and always, may you experience YHVH’s Love and joy, may your life be filled with the blessings of His Goodness and Grace.
