Are we similarly ready? The seven brothers and their mother suffered agonizing torment for the Torah. Torment and death, one by one. Dismembered. Scalped. Flayed. And boiled in oil….And all to avoid eating a tiny bit of pork?

How much do we love The Way of YHWH? How much are we willing to suffer to safeguard His Torah?

We don’t face the decision today…but the courage it takes to face such an end is not made in a day. Do we dine on swine to save ourselves from savage slaughter? Dare we break so great a command to keep ourselves from the frying pan?

How many people exclaim, “He knows my heart” while piling ham on their plate?!

He damn well does.

He knows ours, and He knows theirs.

May we prepare today to face such a fate as did our forebears and always have a heart for what Heaven has in mind.

I had a beautiful time last Sabbath. I spent my time at a friend's place with other visitors. We met a new Torah follower in Yeshua. We had a good lunch there too.

We talked about all kinds of subjects. One of them is the group I was attending. A couple of women said that they would not attend there anymore because the leader of that group believes that women should keep quiet in the church (except for his wife). I think this is a misunderstanding of the Apostle Paul's teaching. I like to do my best to support local fellowship, but sometimes they make it hard when they come up with dumb rules like this.

I had a good visit with my friends and wish we were able to have these kinds of visits more often.

I am so glad you have found some like-minded people. It sounds like quite a search to date. I trust that you get to build a firm relationship within your group.

My first thought on what the women said is, where in the Torah are we told that women must remain quiet in the church? Remember that even Paul can't teach anything new, so he can only comment on his understanding which is where we see his teachings differ from the Old Testament.

Secondly, which other verifiable person taught the same? We need 2 or 3 witnesses and not simply the same person repeating his own ideas multiple times.

This is one of those examples where we need to decide, do we build our foundation on Paul and "translate" the Torah according to his writings or is our foundation the Torah and we interpret Paul according to it.

Many believers are up-in-arms and want to argue that a women’s place is in the kitchen and home to raise children. We are not in a position to decide who YHVH will use to bring a message and we are not in a position to judge should a powerful word come to us through a female. What we as believers should do is to open our ears and listen to the message and compare that to the Word of Elohim. Seek and you shall find the truth; we are taught. Because of this, there are several influential women in the Bible that plays a very important role according to me and even if we are reluctant to admit it, there are also powerful women today whom YHVH use. Personally I think that when a woman brings a message, compare it to the Word, and DO THE SAME WITH MEN!

Let me name a few influential women:
1) Sarah, Abraham's wife -- in Genesis
2) Miriam, Moses' sister -- In Exodus, Numbers, 1 Chronicles
3) Rahab, the heroine of the battle of Jerico -- in Joshua 2
4) Hadassah or Esther, queen of Persia -- in Esther
5) Female judge Deborah, she was not only a judge but also a prophetess -- in the book of Judges, you can also find the ancient poem, "song of Deborah" in Judges
6) Huldah, a prophetess who lived in Jerusalem -- in 2 Kings
7) Abigail, wife of Nabal that became king David's wife -- in 1 Samuel
8) Anna, Phannel's daughter from Asher's tribe was a prophetess in Yeshua's time -- Luke 2
9) Hannah, prophet Samuel's mother -- 1 Samuel

Interesting how the observance of His commands aren't assumed to be impossible. It is rather assumed to be possible.

It reminds me of the rich young man who asked Yeshua what he should do to be saved. Yeshua didn't tell him to do anything else than keep the commandments...

Yes, if he wanted riches in heaven then he should sell his earthly possession and give it to the needy, but that isn't a salvation issue.

Thought for Today: Monday December 30

We have to be holy in a way that Elohiym wants us to be holy. YHVH does not expect us to be a Trappist monk or a hermit. He asks us to sanctify our works and our everyday lives.
