Where it the Truth today?
At one time there were truths. It did not matter what your religious affiliation. Those in control of the Religion may or may not have any knowledge of Truth. But many of those who attended a worship service were looking for the Truth and from that they could learn who to ask for help in life. They could learn who(a god) to pray to; What was expected by that god; How to live righteously before that god. The way many knew they were following the right religion was determined by how they felt in that worship service. This I suspect is mostly true. The worshipers are the Flock, Sheep or the Pastured of G-D. Not enough wit or desire to really question what they are told. A Shame.
Because of the willingness of the flock to be lead, --there arose people who found great power, personal glory, political authority as a leader of the flock. I do believe that once in a while one of these leaders will truly seek G-D and HIS will, but it is rare to find one of these, I am still looking for my second one. This last is the kind of leader speaks of references to Prophecy and G-D's willingness to forgive, and so on.
Back on subject, To maintain their power, they drew lines around the sheep and the theology of the sect by perverting the Word of G-D to give and keep power over the flock. Notice that teaching what the Master of the Legions wants, or desires of us, has no place here, --for if that were the consideration, striving for Righteousness and seeking the Truth would lead to only one way of thinking. Hence for these false shepherds, no job, no personal glory and no control for personal or political gain. All would be about H'Shem and goodness, blessings, protection, safety and all the rest H'shem has promised those that Love HIM.
So, ….Where is the Truth? You can find the Truth in the writings of Moses and most of the Tanach(Old Testament). You will still need to seek H'shem, and an understanding of what is written in those most ancient of writings and instructions. The secret is to Seek, Question, Compare and Pray for Understanding, Face Temple Mount in Jerusalem in order to be heard (according to the Promise made to King Solomon, for G-D Himself.)
If you have questions, I would love to help you find the answer, but you must ask first. Email me at yaakov@ask-james.com
Shalom,
Yaakov
Love G_D, Seek Truth, Act Justly, then can we hope to find understanding, peace and life.

Regarding heaven and foregiveness:
(This post is written in a way considering that Christians/”Messianics” are reading this):
Tan’’kh – for example Yekhëzqeil (Hezekiel) 18 – promises foregivness to those and only those who do their sincerest to keep the mitzwot (commandments) in Torah.
The Creator cannot lie and He does not change (Malakhi 3:6)! A logical analysis (found in the website www.netzarim.co.il) of the first centuries relevant documents proofs that Tan’’kh are in accordance with the teachings of Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth.
Living in the above described way until one dies implies that the Creator will continue to give His forgiveness during one’s whole life, which will keep ones nephesh (psyche) in a connection with the Creator, which will lead to ha-olam haba (which Christians would call “heaven”). While not living in the above described way, according to Yekhezeqeil, won’t lead to ha-olam haba.
This blog is named “TRUTH IN TORAH AND TANACH
“
And likely persons wanting to follow Torah finds this blog, and thus I want to provide this important information regarding observing Torah:
Torah including Halakhah with a formal logical connection to Torah (i.e. it is a mitzwah (directive or military-style order), requires subordination to a beit-din. The only option (learn more why that is the case in the below website) for those whom believe that Ribi Yehoshua is ha-Mashiakh and wants to follow him is to subordinate to the beit-din ha-Netzarim (the only legitimate Netzarim: www.netzarim.co.il).

Thank you Anders for accepting that the Torah(written) and Tanach are true. However, you have attempted to attach the Rabbi's and Mishna and Talmud ....as also true. They Maybe saying the Truth when staying with the Writings of Moses but not when they change even one word of GOD's Law for their purposes.
Question: If those sources where correct, why has the Messiah not come, in 3,500 years?
There is only one GOD, Our LORD is GOD, and we are to love the Lord with all of our heart, our soul, our Being. Teach that to yourself and to everyone you meet.
GOD has not changed, this is TRUE, so HIS LAWS given to Moses are also TRUE and need no revisions by mankind. --Shalom, Yaakov
