FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – VAYYIGGASH
And Yoseph was unable to restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he called out, “Have everyone go out from me!” So no one stood with him while Yoseph made himself known to his brothers.
And he wept aloud, and the Mitsrites and the house of Pharaoh heard it.
And Yoseph said to his brothers, “I am Yoseph, is my father still alive?” But his brothers were unable to answer him, for they trembled before him.
Then Yoseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” And when they came near, he said, “I am Yoseph your brother, whom you sold into Mitsrayim.
“And now, do not be grieved nor displeased with yourselves because you sold me here, for Elohim sent me before you to preserve life.
Have you seen that list of 200+ Bible verses that supposedly prove that the earth is planar? You don't have to read very far to realize that almost none of those verses have anything to do with the shape of the earth, but debating the issue with people has been unproductive in my experience. So, now when I encounter someone making these absurd claims online, instead of arguing with them, I pick a verse off that list and write a short blog post showing how it doesn't say what the FE-ists claim it says.
Argue with me if you want. I'll just dedicate another article to you proving you wrong.

And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
Matthew 3:9
"Children for Abraham" from stones has three meanings. 1: Being a child of Abraham is more than just being a genetic descendant and isn't limited to that. 2: God gave Jacob marked sheep from unmarked parents, prophesying the grafting of gentiles into Israel. God can create an Israelite out of anyone. 3: The hard hearts of the Pharisees/Sadducees separated them from Abraham, but Yeshua can restore them.
At the start of the Messianic Era, #yeshua will divide sheep from goats, Jacob's flock from Laban's, and the wheat from the tares. Even when false or ignorant teachers can't tell them apart, like Laban's shepherds, Yeshua knows his own and will call them out to join Israel.

Here's First Fruits Ministries sermon for the Sabbath on 11/30/2024, called: "Community, Part 6: Our Order of Service":

Please watch it if you missed it. This is one of the most important and fundamental pieces of this series. It is the sermon to share with new people from this point forward.
I've been watching several videos on the origins of different Christian denominations lately. One thing that stands out for every one of them: they see the left hand side of the comic as what is happening in the Bible. Or, in other words: Yeshua/Jesus came and brought a new religion: Christianity. The ways taught in most of the Bible are no more.
What I find sad about it is when you look into why the different denominations broke off from each other, they are all over different interpretations of what a Christian life should look like. Why is this? Because unlike in the OT, we never have a list of "here is what to do, here is what not to do" in the NT. The closest thing, and what most people will point to is either the greatest commandments or those given in Acts 15. Both of these instances, though, point to commands in the Law.
If we would all go back to what the Bible says on how we are supposed to live, how YHWH pointed out someone who follows Him shall live, we might not have all these different denominations we do today.
If you haven't read it before, go and read Psalm 119 and Ecclesiastes 12:13.

In Genesis 29:4-8, Jacob appears to engage in small talk with the Shepherds of Haran, but there isn't a single idle letter in Torah. This conversation is prophetic of Yeshua's frequent interactions with the religious leaders of his day: "The time for the regathering hasn't come yet. Why are you standing around chattering among yourselves when you have a flock to attend?"
