A good man obtains favor from YHWH, but He condemns a person with evil schemes.
#proverbs 12:2
"No one is good except God alone," #yeshua said, but this was hyperbole. No one is *perfectly* good except God, but goodness is relative. Bad things come from a bad heart and good things come from a good heart, but sometimes good comes from bad and bad from good. Trends are more important than isolated incidents.
Shabbat Shalom! ?
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
(1Co 13:1-7 NKJV)

I've made vast changes on this site so that it's only for Torah people. It's also completely free. It's a social site for single Torah people. In the past it was set up for anyone to join, but I felt convicted to make changes that would glorify Elohim more. The site is getting some great people now and it is running smoothly.
The Bible is filled with lessons from those who chose to follow the Creator’s instructions rather than the laws of man. One of the more famous is Exodus 1:17, “The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.” Another is Daniel praying to the Creator instead of the king and of course Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Everyone who chose God over man’s law when man’s law conflicted with God paid a heavy price, some were miraculously saved and others were not.
Question 200: Does the doctrine of Yeshua’ divinity depend on the miraculous conception?
Answer:
Even if the doctrine of the miraculous conception were abandoned, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to account for the facts of Moshiach's life, by any other theory than that of His being the incarnation of YHVH. If you regard Him as man, you must explain how He, a plain peasant, trained as a carpenter, brought up in an obscure town, could live such a life as He undoubtedly lived and give utterance to truths which have thrilled the world for over 2,000 years. Besides this He spoke with authority, making claims to a higher nature, which if He did not consciously possess that higher nature, would be false claims. His whole life was consistent with His divinity and therefore, even persons who reject His miraculous conception, have good ground for believing Him to be divine. It is the only theory that explains such a life. There is no need however, to reject the doctrine of the miraculous conception. The more you study the life of Yeshua, the less you will be surprised to learn that the promise of YHVH through the prophets, of the union of divinity and humanity, was literally fulfilled in Him.
