Something that causes such confusion with the Paul’s letters today is, we are reading them through two thousand years of tradition and man made doctrine while trying to defend those same traditions and doctrines that have no defense. We can’t say on one had Paul writes the law was done away with while on the other hand he writes 1 Thessalonians 4:7— 8, “For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.” Paul is explaining how to apply Leviticus and Ezekiel to shelves of the people who would have first read his letter.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

Thought for Today: Tuesday September 30
What is your fear today? Do you fear the future? Do you fear life’s burdens that sometimes seem almost overwhelming? Do you fear death? Most people -- including many, many believers – fear everything except YHVH! People even fear satan more than YHVH – fear of the creation rather than fear of the Creator! Yet it is Him whom we should fear most of all. Yeshua can put an end to fear for all who trust in Him. He is the answer to any fear you may have. After all, YHVH’s power is greater than the powers of evil, and “neither death or life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future or anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of Elohiym that is in Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai” (Romans 8:38-39)
When Elyon gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Deuteronomy 32:8
Elyon (the Most High) and El Shaddai (God of the Mountain) are names for God that remind his people that the minor gods of their high places are nothing compared to Him. He is the Highest, the only true God of the Mountain.
The borders of Israel might be set by the number of God's people in relation to the world. Look at the map and remember this: "Narrow is the path and few who find it."
New episode, When What You ‘re Taught Doesn’t Match What You Read. Listen where you get your favorite podcasts, use the player on our homepage, watch on You Tube, Rumble or The Torah Network’s Torah Tube.
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is...submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:17,21 ESV
Mutual submission within the body of Christ *because of Christ in the body*.
If you can't set your ego aside and be a team player once in a while, even when you think there's a better way, then you are creating an autoimmune condition in the body of Christ.
The Bible uses rain as a metaphor for a spectrum of good and evil. A #merism in a single word. At one extreme is drought. At the other is hail and fire. Righteousness and life are right in the middle. Moses prays that his speech will fall like light rain, the perfect good for Israel.
The Song of Moses begins and ends with praise for the God of Heaven. Much like the Lord's Prayer as taught by Yeshua.

UPDATE POST:
It has been almost a year since my last update. There are a few things that have happened or are coming soon and I wanted to do another one.
- I hit 1,000 comics recently! I know I am excited about that fact. You can see the 1,000th comic here: https://thestraightandnarrow.cfw.me/comics/1000
- The new Torah 4 Churchies book is available in paperback or e-book! You can get it here: http://amazon.com/author/straight_n_narrow
- I have been working on the website again. I am hoping to have that up sometime this year.
- Portions Series 2 will be wrapping up with Sukkot. I will have completed the whole Bible at that point. I do not plan on starting another Portions Series at the moment. What I will do is change Fridays to another As The Torah Scrolls comic. Saturdays has been my random Throwback posts. I will change this to a Throwback Portion comic and move the random to Thursdays.
Thank you all for being part of this journey with me. I pray that the comic continues to bless you and yours. May YHWH bless you and keep you. Shalom!
#haazinu, the name of this week's #torah portion (Deuteronomy 32), means "give ear". Here are some corresponding Apostolic passages to study along with related commentary and videos: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/02/18/parsha-ha

Many Christians fall into this same trap with Paul as he is seen as learned; at his time. He therefore must have had a "new revelation" according to modern-Christianity. But he mixes in his own opinion along with Scripture interpretations which makes it difficult to argue that everything he says is 100% inspired. (Just look at what he says about men with long hair; which goes against the laws when under a Nazirite vow.)
I would therefore advise a new believer to first ignore Paul's writings and get an understanding of what the rest of the Bible says before piling into his work as it will give them a firmer foundational understanding of the law and then they can interpret Paul better.
