Over time it seems that the moral and even the righteous chose to allow evil to prevail. Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” In the world today when the moral are accused of immorality (by the immoral) it seems they would rather suffer death than face the accusation. Is it possible to defeat evil with good without actually doing good? Of course not. Leviticus 19:17,”You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, and so not bear sin because of him.” Silence that allows sin and evil to continue is sin itself, when you are given the words to speak against evil, use them wisely.

Is `keeping` the same as `trying to keep`?

Rev 12:17, 14:12 and 22:14 talks of those who keep the commandments of Father. The former two verses also includes having the testimony of Yeshua.

Do you personally think there is a measuring stick involved to determine if someone trying to keep Torah "as they are led" and to the best of their abilities has reached the "acceptable level" to be considered actually "keeping" Torah?

So, is trying and still getting it wrong, enough to be included in this group of people?

Also, are we even capable of keeping Torah 100%? I'm not talking about manmade traditions for Torah, but the version we read and don't truly understand as some of it is hidden.

2,000 years after Yeshua's crucifixion is a long time for knowledge to have disappeared so we assume key points in our implementation of Torah. Like, what is a new moon, should we still sacrifice, should men still gather in Jerusalem, what colour is tekhelet, etc.

It must have been soooo much easier to know what Torah truly is when living during and just after Yeshua's time.

Blasphemy!!!

Blasphemy is considered a serious offense in many religious traditions and may be subject to punishment or condemnation. But do we stop to consider whether we do it unknowingly.

Here is a "joke" I wrote as example:

A Rabbi, a Pastor, and two Torah followers have a competition of who hears best from the Holy Spirit to determine when Passover should be kept. The Rabbi says:

"Well, you see, it was Rabbi Hillel II who was led by the spirit of G_d, back in the 4th century CE, established the fixed calendar for Passover according to the Gregorian calendar. He figured we needed some predictability, you know, so we could plan our matzah baking sessions in advance."

The Pastor then chimes in, saying, "Ah, but my dear friends, it was the Holy Spirit who put it on the heart of none other than the venerable Church Father, Constantine the Great, who decided that Easter should be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. He wanted to align it with the spring season, you know, a time of new life and renewal."

Finally, the two Torah followers speak up, both claiming, "Well, actually, the Holy Spirit placed it on our hearts that we celebrate it on the 10th day of Abib, according to Scripture. We just can't seem to agree on when Abib starts! One of us is led by the Holy Spirit that it's determined by the first sliver of the moon, while the other is led to believe it's from the dark moon. Oh yeah, and then there are others who say it's on the full moon. Oy vey!"

Does that by any chance sound familiar?

So many people claim to have heard or was led by the Holy Spirit to keep Torah in a specific way and yet these ways are all different.

Is there any lie found in the Holy Spirit and will He lead us astray?

Could this mean that we are often ascribing an incorrect action or decision of ours to "being led by the Holy Spirit" to do so; which by its nature is blasphemy?

How often do we disagree with others and claim that the Holy Spirit has led us? Shouldn't we rather confess that we do what we do because it `feels and seems right` at that moment?

Judges 21:25 comes to mind: "In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes."

I was always judgemental of the Hebrews for being lawless in those days, but this verse might not just be referring to civil law, but also Torah enforcement.

Might it just be that we are also living during such lawless/Torahless times as each of us are implementing Torah in our own lives the way we understand it at present?

What if???

What if we gave Rev. 18 to read by a person who has no knowledge of the Bible and ask them to tell us the story?

Would they take it as a literal or figurative story?

The city sells linen, precious metals, spices, wine, food stuffs, animals and slaves. It is located by the sea with a busy harbour as many merchants get rich from it.

Does this sound like Washington, Moscow, Rome, Jerusalem, London, Honk Kong, Singapore, maybe New York city before its financial downfalls started? Thinking about it, NY city maybe as it has the World Trade Center and the UN headquarters in it???

Will harps, flutes and minstrels make a comeback for the general population to hear it in the city?

If it isn't literal then how far do we go looking at it figuratively? Do we then ignore the boats and think of it as planes? Are the musical instruments now drums and guitars? Maybe it isn't flour that gets sold, but Chow-Mein and the pearls are instead circuit boards?

What if what is written is actually what it means in this instance?

And, why give sooooo much detail about what the city sells?

What are your thoughts on this?
