WORD FOR TODAY “today is the day humanity was born again”: What is today’s date on GOD’S calendar? Friday evening began the 15th, Saturday evening the 16th, Sunday evening 17th. Today this happened; Gen 8:4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
SPOKEN VERSE FOR TODAY: Pro 18:6 A fool's words get him into fights; yes, his mouth calls out for a beating.
“Faith comes by hearing” positive frequencies spoken out loud hourly.

One common rebuttal when giving my testimony of walking out the Torah is Galatians 5:4. I’ve covered Galatians as a whole before and how you have to understand Paul’s terminology in this book to understsnd the premise. One of those terms is “circumcision”. He isn’t speaking against the act, nor the Law.
We see him going to Galatia in Acts 16 & 18. In Acts 20, he visits James and James tells him of the rumors being spread about him that James knows isn’t true. Those rumors? That Paul was speaking against the Law and circumcision.
If Paul was to have truly not taught against these things in Acts, affirmed he didn’t with James, then later wrote a letter to Galatia saying the exact opposite; wouldn’t that make Paul a liar and untrustworthy?
Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:15-17 that Paul is hard to understand and that the unlearned will twist them into not obeying the Law.
So, if Paul isn’t speaking against the Law or circumcision, what is he speaking against? The same thing Jesus/Yeshua was in Mark 7. Those groups that are hanging onto traditions and just trying to get someone to circumcise into THEIR faith to show they are growing. We have an account in Acts 15 with this group as well.
One of the traditions to join into Judaism then, and from my understand still today, was you first had to be circumcised.
It is a lot like baptism in many churches. How many church gatherings or posts have you seen where they are boasting “we baptised X amount of people today”. What are they doing with those people afterward? Are they growing them and teaching them to walk in the faith? Or just looking for the next person to baptize?
The point of Galatians is this: Don’t be another number for some man and their traditions. Choose the freedom Yeshua showed you in HIS walk: the Law. It is God’s plan for our best life (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION - CHAYYEY SARAH:

“And Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years, the years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Qiryath Arba, that is Chevron, in the land of Kena’an, and Avraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. Then Avraham rose up from beside his dead, and spoke to the sons of Cheth, saying, ‘I am a foreigner and a sojourner among you. Give me property for a burial-site among you, so that I bury my dead from my presence.’ And the sons of Cheth answered Avraham, saying to him, ‘Hear us, my master: You are a prince of Elohim among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial-sites. None of us withholds from you his burial-site, from burying your dead.’ So Avraham rose and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Cheth. And he spoke with them, saying, ‘If it is your desire that I bury my dead from my presence, hear me, and approach Ephron son of Tsochar for me, and let me have the cave of Makpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me for the complete amount of silver, as property for a burial-site among you.’ And Ephron dwelt among the sons of Cheth. And Ephron the Chittite answered Avraham in the hearing of the sons of Cheth, all who entered at the gate of his city, saying, ‘No, my master, listen to me! I shall give you the field and the cave that is in it. I shall give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I shall give it to you. Bury your dead!’ And Avraham bowed himself down before the people of the land, and he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, ‘If only you would hear me. I shall give the amount of silver for the field, take it from me, and let me bury my dead there.’ And Ephron answered Avraham, saying to him, ‘My master, listen to me! The land is worth four hundred sheqels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead.’ And Avraham listened to Ephron, and Avraham weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Cheth, four hundred sheqels of silver, currency of the merchants. Thus the field of Ephron which was in Makpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, which were within all the surrounding borders, were deeded to Avraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Cheth, before all who went in at the gate of his city. And after this Avraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Makpelah, before Mamre, that is Chevron, in the land of Kena’an. Thus the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Avraham by the sons of Cheth as property for a burial-site.”
