One thing I learned many years ago is that on a site like this when I add Google ads they want to drive people to the site because they make money. So I'm working on that aspect. I've been adding design and color to it so hopefully it will be more attractive yet remain simple.
I'm working on design and color on http://TorahTent.com to give it a better appearance.
PART 7 B
YESHUA EXPLAINS HALAKHAH [TORAH PRACTICE]
"Be careful that you do not give your gifts for the poor in front of people in order to look impressive. If you do it that way, you will not receive a reward for it from your Abba in Heaven. When you give your gifts for the poor, do not broadcast it everywhere, making a big deal of it, like the two-faced do in the worship centres and in the streets, in order to get the applause of people. Amen! I tell you, they have their reward. So, give your gift to the poor, but don't even let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. That way your gifts for the poor will be a secret and your Abba who sees all secrets will Himself reward you in the open. And when you pray, do not pray like the two-faced, for they love to pray standing in the worship centres and on the corners of the streets, so they can be seen by people. Amen! I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, enter into your private room and then after you have shut your door, pray to your Abba in secret. And your Abba who sees all secrets shall reward you in the open. When you pray, do not perform useless repetitions, as the pagans do. They are deceived into thinking they will be heard due to the amount of their speech. In no way act like the pagans, for your Abba knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray like this: 'Our Abba in Heaven, YHVH, Your Name is holy. Please bring Your Kingdom to us, so that Your will is done on the earth the same way it is done in Heaven. Please provide us the bread we need today. And forgive us for breaking the Torah against Your will and covenant, for we forgive those who have broken trust with us. Please do not lead us into difficult testing, but keep us from the evil one. For unto You alone is the sovereignty and the power and the glory forever. Amen.' You see, if you forgive people their sins, your Abba in Heaven will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive people their sins, neither will your Abba forgive your sins. Also when you fast, do not be like the two-faced with sad faces, for they purposely deform their faces, so they appear to people as fasting. Amen! I tell you again, they have their reward. When you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. This way you will appear to people not to be fasting, except to your Abba who sees the secret. Your Abba, who knows all secrets, will reward you in the open. Keep asking Him and it will be given to you. Keep seeking Him and you will find. Keep knocking on His door and it will be opened to you. For everyone who continues to ask receives and the one who keeps seeking finds and the one that does not stop knocking will have it opened to him. Who among you will give your son a stone if he asks for bread? Or, if he asks for some fish, would you give him a serpent? If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Abba in Heaven give good things to those who ask him? But, do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust ruin it and where thieves break in and steal it. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where there are no moths or rust to ruin anything and where thieves do not break in or steal. For where you put your treasure is the place your heart will want to be. The window into the body is the eyes. If your eyes are pure, your whole body will be full of light. But, if your eyes look to see evil things, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if the window for light that is in you is dark, how great the darkness will be inside you! Can the blind provide guidance for the blind? Will not both of them fall into the trap? The disciple is not above his rabbi, but when a person is matured, he will be like his rabbi. So then, how can you see the splinter that is in your brother's eye, when you cannot see the log that is in your own eye? Why do you say to your brother, 'Let me pull the sliver out of your eye, while an entire beam is in your own eye? You are two-faced! First get rid of the beam from your own eye and then you will see clearly enough to get the speck out of your brother's eye. Therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, you do that very thing for them, for this is the intent of the Torah and the prophets. Therefore, personally condemn no one and you will not be condemned either. Release and you will also be released! Give and you will also receive! Not just a little, but a lot, compressed and running over the side! Whether good or bad, it will return to your very being in a comparable proportion to what you gave out. It is not possible for a person to serve two masters, for he will hate one and love the other or else he will cling to one and despise the other. So, you cannot serve both Elohim and the god of money. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life; whether or not you will have enough to eat or drink or what kind of clothing you will have. Isn't living more than eating food and taking care of the body more than wearing clothes? Look at the birds of the air, for they do not sow, nor do they harvest and store into barns, yet your Abba in Heaven feeds them. And aren't you worth much more than they are? Who among you, by thinking about it, can add one inch to his height? So, why even give any thought to what you will wear? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not labour or create anything. Yet I tell you, even King Shlomo in all his majestic splendour was not adorned like one of these. Therefore, if YHVH is willing to clothe the grass of the field in this way, which is here today and thrown in the oven tomorrow, will He not adorn you with so much more? You have such little trust in Him! Therefore, worry no more saying, 'what will we eat?' Or, 'what will we drink?' Or, 'what are we going to wear?' These are things which consume the thinking of the Gentiles, not you. For your Abba in Heaven knows perfectly well you need all these things. But first before all, you are to be consumed with obtaining the Kingdom of Elohim and His righteousness. Then all these other things will automatically be added to you. You do not even need to think about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. There is more than enough evil to handle today. You must enter into righteousness through the gate that is blocked with obstacles. For, wide is the gate and smooth is the way which leads to destruction and many people go that way. Because the gate which leads to life is strewn with all kinds of debris. Therefore, the narrow way is difficult to find for all but a few. Beware of lying preachers, who will come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath they are ravenous wolves. You will discern them by their fruit. Do men harvest grapes from a thorn bush or figs from a briar patch? Thus, every good tree shows good fruit, but a corrupt tree shows bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. Without exception, every tree which does not demonstrate good fruit is chopped down and cast into the fire. The good man speaks good things from his heart and the evil man speaks forth evil things, for from the abundance which is in the heart, the mouth speaks. For this reason, you will know what kind of tree they are by the fruit they produce. Note this! Not everyone who says to me, 'Adonai!' or ' YHVH!' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No, only those people who do what Avi in Heaven has said to do. Many will come to me in that day and say, 'Adonai YHVH, have we not preached in Your Name? Through Your Name didn't we cast out deceiving spirits? In Your Name we also did many wonderful works!' Then I will declare to them, 'Why do you call me Adonai YHVH and yet you do not do the things which I have commanded you {in the Torah and the prophets}? I never knew you, depart from me, you who work against the Torah!' Therefore, whoever hears my eternal Word and does it, I will view him to be like the wise man, who built his house upon a rock. The rain descended, the floods rose and the winds blew and beat against that house and it did not collapse, for it was built upon a rock. But, everyone who hears my eternal Word and does not do it, I will view him to be like the foolish man, who built his house upon sand. The rain descended, the floods rose and the winds blew and beat against that house and it collapsed. In fact, it disintegrated!" When Yeshua had ended His Word, the people were struck with absolute awe at His teaching. He taught them as One who possessed supreme authority, which was not the way the Torah teachers taught.
PART 7 A
YESHUA DEFINES HIS FOLLOWERS
When they began to go down the mountain, Yeshua saw the great crowd of people waiting for them. So, finding a level place on the hillside, He sat down and began to teach His followers the essence of His Word. "Blessed are those who are poor in their hearts, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them.
Blessed are those who groan {against sin}, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the humble in heart, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty to get righteousness, for they shall be filled with righteousness. Blessed are the Chasidim [merciful ones], for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean in heart, for they shall see YHVH, {in all of His Majestic splendour}. Blessed are those who spread shalom, for they shall be called the children of YHVH. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. You are blessed when, because of Me, people hate you and remove you from their group; when they persecute you, say all kinds of evil against you and falsely defame you. Rejoice then and even celebrate, for your reward is great in Heaven. Because they persecuted the prophets who came before you for the same reason. For you must know this: unless your righteousness exceeds the righteous ways of the Torah teachers and P'rushim, you shall under no circumstances be allowed to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." However, trouble is waiting for you who seek riches. You have already received your prize. Trouble is coming to you who care only about being full. You will learn what hunger is. There is trouble waiting for you that laugh and ridicule now, because you will eventually groan and cry. And when all people think highly of you, look out, because trouble is on its way! For, the same flattery was said to the liars that went before you. You have been called to be the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses it saltiness, with what {seasoning} will it be salted? It is no better for anything, except to be thrown away and to be walked on by the feet of people. Be careful also not to give the holy things to dogs, neither toss your pearls in front of swine, because they will only trample them under their feet and turn again and rip you to shreds. You have been called to be the light of the world. A city that is built on top of a hill cannot be hidden from view. People do not light a candle and put it under a basket, rather they put it in a candlestick so it gives light to everyone who is in the house. Let your light shine before mankind in such a way that they see your good works and glorify your Abba in Heaven”.
YESHUA DEFENDS TORAH
"Do not think that I have come to take away the Torah or the prophets! I have not come to abolish the Torah, but rather to complete what was lacking in it! Amen! I tell you, until the heavens and the Earth pass away, not so much as one Yod or punctuation in the Torah shall be erased from the Torah, until everything is fulfilled on the Earth. Therefore, whoever shall dare to break one of the least of the commandments of YHVH, and shall teach mankind they have permission to break them, that person shall be given the least role and title in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever shall proclaim the commandments of YHVH, that person shall be given the greatest role and title in the Kingdom of Heaven. For you must know this: unless your righteousness exceeds the righteous ways of the Torah teachers and P'rushim, you shall under no circumstances be allowed to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." {So then, Yeshua began to declare those things which would complete the Torah of YHVH.} "You have heard it was said by those in ancient times, 'You shall not murder and whoever murders will be in danger of condemnation.' This is true, but I instruct that it means more than that, for whoever even continues to be angry with his brother shall be in danger of condemnation. In addition, when someone says to his brother, 'You useless person,' he could possibly be brought before the Council, but actually, if one calls another person, 'You fool,' he will be put into the burning fires of the rubbish heap. Therefore, if you bring your sacrifice to the altar and while there you remember that your brother has something against you. Leave your sacrifice at the altar and go to your brother. Be reconciled to him first, then come and offer your sacrifice. Make amends with the one who has a grievance against you as quickly as possible, while you are in contact with him. For otherwise your adversary may take the matter to the judge and the judge may turn you over to the officer, who will put you into prison. Amen! I tell you, you will not be allowed release until you have paid every dime of the money you owe. You have heard it was said by those in ancient times, 'You shall not commit adultery.' These are true, but remember also that whoever looks on a woman to desire her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. For the Torah also says, 'You shall not covet.' So, even if your right eye causes you to stumble, remove it! Throw it away from you as far as possible, because it is good for one of your cherished parts to be destroyed, so that not all of you is thrown onto the rubbish heap. So, even if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and remove it as far away from yourself as possible. I repeat, it is better for you to lose one of your cherished parts, than for your whole body to be tossed on the rubbish heap." {This Yeshua said in an allegory, so that a person would know that for whatever reason he does evil, it is not worth the penalty of being condemned to the unquenchable fire.} "It has been said, 'Whoever will divorce his wife, let him give her a gett [a document of divorce].' But I tell you the truth, that whoever divorces his wife, unless she has committed fornication, causes her to commit adultery, because whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Again, you have heard it has been said by those in ancient times, 'You should not break your oaths, but rather keep your vows to YHVH.' But I tell you, make no vow to YHVH, neither by Heaven, because it is Elohim's throne, nor by the Earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Yerushalayim, because it is the city of the great King. You should not make a vow by your own head either, because you cannot naturally change the colour of your own hair. Rather, let your communication be yes or no, for whatever is more than that comes from the evil-one and brings evil. You have heard it has been said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' That is what will be, but I tell you this, you yourself should not personally attempt to avenge evil. Whoever slaps you on the right of your face, turn the other side to him. If any man sues you in court and takes away your coat, give him your jacket also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you for help and do not turn away the one who needs to borrow from you." {In this way Yeshua taught us personally to do what is necessary to avoid vengeance and perform kindness. However, He in no way was removing the due penalty for breaking the Torah or the right of appointed authority to chastise for wrong doing.} "You have heard it has been said, 'Love your neighbour, but hate your enemy.' But I tell you to love your enemies also, even to bless those who curse at you. Do good things for those who hate you and pray for those who act despicably towards you or persecute you. In this way you will behave like children of your Abba in Heaven. For observe, He makes the sun to rise on the bad and the good and He sends the rain down on both the righteous and the unrighteous. Do to others as you would want them to do to you. If you only love those who love you, why should you be rewarded for that? What special enablement does that take? Even the tax collectors and sinners do that! If you lend only to those from whom you expect to get a repayment, what divine ability does that demonstrate? Sinners will lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. If you kindly greet your brothers only, what is so special about that? The tax collectors do that too! Love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting a return. Then your reward will be great and you will be sons of Ha'Elyon [the Most-High], for He is kind to the ungrateful and unholy. Therefore, you are to be holy and different from the world. Just as your Abba in Heaven is holy and different from the world. Be merciful, like Him."
