I have been ask to write about what the Torah says regarding homosexuality. This is a Fiery Topic anymore, what with political correctness and pushing against anyone that speaks out on the subject.
So I must start by saying, that I am aware of only ONE GOD, THE LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL; the GOD of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac and the GOD of Jacob; and to the point MY GOD. I am concerned with keeping HIS LAWS and TEACHING, because HE is the JUDGE of my actions and my defense. It is HIS LAWS that I write about. As such I find No Defensible, in favor of those acts in all of the Tanakh(Old Testament) or in the Writings of Moses(TORAH). The discussion of what is permissible is in those places. This is THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH's Laws, Rules and Instructions.
Let us begin with the most direct source.(Torah)
Leviticus Chapter 18, describes how a man may have sex and with whom. It is only at the end of the chapter, we are emphatically told how important these are to GOD and Ourselves by way of the consequences, for not following them.
Leviticus 18:29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
There is of course, many arguments which people, wiser and less wise have made over 4,000 years, for and against their own opinion or that of another person's opinion. For my part, I know that every decision I make effects my soul and my affect those that have come in contact with me. Because of all of this I am bound to the LAW GIVEN BY MY GOD written in the Five Books of Moses.
There are two notes(attention grabbers) I would like to present now.
The First note: Whatever our position in this world, whether male or female; young or old; tall or short; dark skin or light skin; hairy or bald; over sexed or under sexed; angry at everything or easily self-controlled; each person is required to control themselves and their urges. By controlling ourselves and our urges, and keeping the ALMIGHTY'S LAWS AND TEACHINGS, we stop act as animals made from the dirt and begin to show that part of GOD which is not of this earth or universe, known as the SOUL. The Soul is you "True Value" in and out of this Universe, and so your value may continue far beyond the end of the earth. If you chose wisely!
Second note: It is Genesis 1:26 "And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Your Soul is in the form of the CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. The start of this realization, which for me has been coming for a very long time, is due to phrases like: Leviticus 19:2 . . . ."Ye shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy." ; Leviticus 18:30 . . . "defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God."; Ezekiel 18:4 "Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die."; Exodus 32:33 "And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book."
My point on this is: We, including Me are always so concerned with what is going on Now, with how I feel, what do I want, etc, . . . That we forget that our dirt is a very temporary thing, only blink of the eye -- type of existence and that the thing which has the greatest potential, cannot be seen or measured or marked by anyone else, and is prized far beyond our understanding by our CREATOR is my SOUL and your SOUL. More on this at another time.

Human Relationships Then and Now -- Adam and Eve
Human Relationships Then and Now — Adam and Eve
(Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said: ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help-mate for him.’) JPS 1918 version.
Adam does not appear to be without knowledge. He is the master of his world(Gen. 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof.).
Eve is also intelligent, she discusses the Word of GOD, as told her by Adam(her husband) with the serpent, but then she fails, (Gen.3:8 ….woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,….); because First: she takes and eats of the tree; Second she heard only what she wanted to hear(the serpent said ‘knowing good and evil’, she heard ‘to make one wise’; Third: She then feeds the fruit to Adam encouraging her husband to fail when by this time she KNOWS ‘good from evil’.
Let us review the story again. Eve told the serpent (Genesis 3:3 “It is only about fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said: ‘You shall not eat of it or touch it, lest you die.’“) Eve is then countered by the serpent with: (Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You are not going to die, 5 God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil’), but what she heard is that, she would become wise [verse 8], for other fruits are good for food and delightful to the eye, so they are not the enticement she desires. (Knowing is not Wisdom, or To know something does not make one Wise. –Yaakov Jeffries)
Eve also has some control over Adam, demonstrated in that(Genesis 3:6 …’ she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.’), he did not discuss or in any way refuse to eat what she gave him. I cannot see that she has gained any wisdom, for now she Knows right from wrong, how much greater is her wrong when she knowingly brings Adam into her sin? This last sentence maybe the reason some say that Eve was the source of evil. Read my ‘Original Sin’ writing for more on that.
At the end of this encounter with Adam and Eve, both are punished, but only for what each individually performed.
Points of interest:
1) …it is not good that man should be alone….. ——Could there be a tie between being this item and giving(Eve) or eating(Adam) the forbidden fruit?
2) …they shall be one flesh. —Could there be a tie between being one flesh and eating the forbidden fruit?
3) there seems to be no discussion between Adam and Eve regarding the eating of what Eve gives Adam; he just eats!
Questions:
1) Is there a correlation between (a man will leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife.) and action of eating what he is given even when he KNOWS it is wrong?
2) How strong is this need not to be alone in the story and then Today?
3) They are in it together, after the eating of the forbidden fruit, so is seems obvious that Eve does not want to be alone in what is to come. Is that the cause of Adam eating?
If only Eve were guilty, would it seem that she should die on the spot and another replacement be found?
If a replacement is used, would the replacement be a considered lessor being for all of history?
‘B’ above seems to be the reason Eve must come from Adam, if Eve came from somewhere else then the Fight of ‘My Dirt is Better Than Your Dirt’ which happens without this divide just not as bad.
Would this also relate to the need to use some part of Adam(something from his side verses some place like a Toe, or even if made from some other dirt, soil or such. Would this other be considered less or very different as the source could be argued to be different than from the original soil used to create Adam. We always find ways to separate ourselves from the others.)
It then seems that they both would need to stay together in what is to come. It also seems that GOD knew this would be the case.
Observations:
1) The LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL knew what choices would be made before starting the earth’s creation, hence HE KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
2) Given the information above I see that, they(Adam and Eve) chose togetherness as opposed to being alone.
3) It occurs to me that Eve is leading, Adam following, and they are naked; in the end this is reversed so that Eve is to be ruled by her husband and her desire is to be for him not others, and she will have great pain with child birth. Adam is to(do hard labor) work the fields and bring home the external goods so that the family survives and grows.
4) I now see another reason to be loyal to one’s Help Mate and family, which is to guard that which is part of me. I would expect no less from the GOD THAT CREATED ME, THE FATHER OF MY SOUL.
That was Then . . . .
1) Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman HE said” ‘I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.’
This is Now:
Women strive to rule men, children rule them(both), and sexual roles are so confusing that everyone seems lost(see story of Sodom and Gomorrah).
Some Prophecies: –Your reward for your actions!
Isaiah 3:10) Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:11) Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him. 12) As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them.
***Are we returned to the failure of the Garden Of Eden? What happens next? Are we kicked out of our garden?
–The up-shot of this text seems that we are back at the beginning, where we were so evil that GOD destroyed all but the Righteous in a flood. No flood this time, but destruction is certain. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Moses all speak of the last days and what will happen.
Genesis 6:5 ‘And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.’

Trust and Believe
Who do you trust? Do you believe? What do you believe?
Trust and believe need definitions, so I will give you some.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines 'Trust' as:
1
a : assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something
B : one in which confidence is placed
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trust?show=0&t=1371792397
And defines 'believe'
intransitive verb
1
a : to have a firm religious faith
b : to accept something as true, genuine, or real
2
: to have a firm conviction as to the goodness, efficacy, or ability of something
3
: to hold an opinion : think
transitive verb
1
a : to consider to be true or honest
b : to accept the word or evidence of
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/believe
My personal definition finds that both of these words should be based on evidence and must be earned and not given blindly.
Isaac son of Abraham is a great demonstration of Trust, in that at the binding, he did not fight back but appears to trust both GOD and his father Abraham, that everything will be FINE.
Isaac is, in appearance, simply -- "Simple". I believe that he has a bad reputation, as he is demonstrating a trust in GOD. The kind of kind of trust that all of us should have. As evidence that this is what GOD is looking for, Isaac is never tested in TRUST as was both Abraham and Jacob were tested. Although they were not tested in the same ways, and neither are we tested in exactly the same ways. Abraham was actually tested the most because he did not understand that he needed to trust GOD and of course he is the first to set out on the path.
Moses is another model of Trust and Belief, for in all of the story concerning Moses only once does GOD say of him Numbers 20: . . . 'Because ye believed not in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.'
That was the one time. And, it should be noted that after the burning bush, GOD defends Moses, Moses defends the people. This one says that Moses has proof that he should trust and believe GOD.
So why all of the talk about Trust and Believe?
Because, We don't Trust or Believe the GOD that created the heavens and the earth and we are told over and over that we are responsible for our own soul and we have been given signs and wonders so that we can Know GOD.
So you say "I am a Jew, and all will be forgiven", I remind you that the Servant of HASH'M, Jacob, The House of Israel, these are the Chosen of ADON' and the prophesy that the Nation is redeemed, BUT BEWARE the causes whereby "that soul shall be cut off from his people" or "that soul shall be cut off from his people" this can be caused by Profaning that which is Holy to GOD; Doing that which is abhorrent; Working on the Sabbath; seeking ghost and spirits; eating any leavening during the Feast of Unleavened Bread; Profaning/defiling that which is Holy unto the LORD; Not Circumsized.
If you think that you can just say, 'I never heard any of this, so I don't need to worry about a GOD I never followed, this is for you:
Isaiah 27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto them. ((Lack of wit or understanding/knowledge will get you treated as an animal, not as a human with a soul. No regard for you by GOD, better seek to know and understand than to be ZERO.))
So what are we to do?
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deuteronomy 11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and His commandments, alway.
Deuteronomy 30:6 . . . .to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. . . .
Deuteronomy 30:8 . . . .hearken to the voice of the LORD, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day
Isaiah 56: 6 Also the aliens, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant: 7 Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.;
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die. 5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity; 7 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored his pledge for a debt, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 8 he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man, 9 hath walked in My statutes, and hath kept Mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
There are many many more but in the end: Malachi 3:22 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
Trust and Believe the CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, GOD OF OUR FATHERS, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, follow HIS LAWS AND TEACHINGS even when all around you fail. Why? If not for your soul, then maybe GOD will repeat Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her. --said to Jeremiah. You will be the ONE. At the very least you save your soul and those that watch you my save their souls because of you.
If you seek HIM, HE will not hide from you.
Isaiah 51:1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else.19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob: 'Seek ye Me in vain'; I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near; 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have compassion upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Look around, is there any that you should trust? Only one is steadfast and strong. Seek the truth.

Conflicted --A State of mind?
The World is Upside Down, with appearing that only a miniscule few people Are, Want to be or know that they should try, to do what is RIGHT. Some of the issues that are signs of the problems: "The rights of the few are more important than doing what is right according to GOD, Terror and war appear to be coming from every direction, the common beliefs that have arisen such as "There is no Truth"," Laws and rules are for others not for people like me", these are some of the signs that We are in serious trouble --AGAIN! Each time we and the world have gone through this, it is the worst yet. Hence I would stop it if I could. I cry out to The Creator of the Heavens and Earth to have mercy, to the people I say Hear, See, Understand we have chosen to destroy ourselves, . . . . And then I am reminded that this has all been foretold thousands of years ago and we refuse to Hear, See and Understand, so we will go through this one also.
As a person that thinks, who reasons and learns, one who is striving to be righteous, I am very concerned about the state of the world and the people on it. It is not a simple thing to find an answer that does not cause sleepless nights and upset stomachs. Then I remember that everything is how it was foretold, and so I can not stop what is coming. I can only do what is right according to GOD's Laws and Teachings. It is MY soul that I am responsible for, and for my actions which are seen by others, for good or bad. Each of US influences others by our words and deeds. We affect and effect what happens to others without being in direct contact or our knowing it. Hence, our actions matter. Granted, none of this is likely to make you feel better, well not soon anyway.
What is now and what will be, are foretold in the writings of the Prophets given in the NAME OF G_D.
There are circumstances which seem to be at odds with the idea of "having the freedom to choose." One example, We find many times in the Writing of Moses and then through to the last prophet: they have ears that do not hear, eyes that do not see and a clouded mind or heart(paraphrased). To solve this condition, I have asked THE ALMIGHTY to undo this condition as a simple answer or so it seems simple. Ask the ALMIGHTY to unstop the ears so that people may perceive what they are doing, uncover the eyes so that they may know and un-cloud the mind so that they wil have understanding , then will return to the ALMIGHTY with new hearts. As a result it would seem that "Heaven" would present itself.
This sounds really great, except --Our choice would be gone. We have chosen to not ear, we do not want to see, so that we can claim to have no knowledge of what we do. This is the reason that GOD does not just make everyone Good. We would have no choice, so . . . . .
This prayer is not going to change what will happen for several reasons. The consequence of forcing any person to SEE, HEAR and UNDERSTAND, takes away the responsibility of making the choice, this the ALMIGHTY will not do. Yet, that condition is the one used to describe the Children of Israel.
Time to drop in a lesson.
Isaiah 48:17) Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee for thy profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 18) Oh that thou wouldest hearken to My commandments! then would thy peace be as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea; It is good to remember that what we think is a curse or a blessing may not be.
Moving On:
Our choice is always a personal one, even when the circumstances,{See the Exodus Story in the Book of Exodus, particularly Pharaoh and Egypt. But this will change and it will happen suddenly, again for HIS GLORY and our enlightenment} seem overwhelming and would justify a certain set of actions. It is our own choices and actions that we are responsible for. You could review the story of Adam and Eve, with the resulting exile from the Garden, or the exodus from Egypt, Noah, or the Tower of Babel, or the Exile to Babylon and the resulting curses upon Babylon , Egypt, Asyria, (I hope that you get the idea, they each punished for their actions.) as full examples of this in full effect.
As a story in opposition to the bad behavior, where we can see self-control, as the answer to a tempting and justifiable set of actions, which can be based on circumstances, I present a story of David son of Jesse, prior to being King of Israel. In this example of David's behavior, look at when David works directly for King Saul(defeated Goliath, is a soldier for the King and place music when the King is visited with a savior head ache, . . . ), David was anointed by Samuel at GOD's instruction(this is our first knowledge of David), as King. King Saul knows that he has lost the kingship to another and suspecting David, King Saul hates David and attempts top kill David. On numerous occasions GOD in watching over David, makes it possible for David or his men to kill King Saul. David absolutely refuses and forbids anyone he knows from harming GOD's Anointed, no matter what King Saul does. GOD watches over David and loves him because of David's deeds. David uses self-control, and we are shown the good and the bad of David's actions. [1Samuel 26:8 Then said Abishai to David: 'God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.' 9 And David said to Abishai: 'Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?' 10 And David said: 'As the LORD liveth, nay, but the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle, and be swept away. 11 The LORD forbid it me, that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water and let us go.']
Whatsoever the ALMIGHT has said . . . IS! There are No maybes, or IF's, or Possibly, IT JUST IS! the truth. O.k. That which is told, is going to happen from our perspective of time and space. All of it will happen on the earth, there is no question, and much of it is already here or has been accomplished. But, not the real terror, not Yet! {So you ask how can you Know this? I ask you to judge, Do the people of the earth KNOW the ONE GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to worship only HIM, to trust only HIM and therefore keep HIS LAWS and TEACHINGS? N.....O.....! Therefore the WORST IS YET TO COME.} It is again my responsibility to choose Good and not Bad for my actions, this makes me one of GOD's children, my actions and choices.(Isaiah 40 and 56 are good examples of what GOD wants from us.)
Second, GOD requires us to choose GOD OR not god(Life and Death, Good and Evil, Right and Wrong.). This is our only choice, to follow the GOD of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac, the GOD of Jacob (These are three witnesses of GOD, with blessings, of which we are a part.) or you are against GOD. If our condition is by Our Choice, then if HE opens and uncovers and clears what we have done, then HE takes away the Choice. Our choice has direct effect upon our soul and its value to GOD, which seems to be valued above all creation, such that creations seems to have been performed for this purpose. To find those souls that of their own choose GOD.
Third, Deuteronomy 30:1) And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt bethink thyself among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2) and shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; 3) that then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. ===This is one of many descriptions of the End Of Days events in the Tanakh (Old Testament) regarding the Children of Israel and those that accept the LORD of Jacob as GOD. A second confirming description is in Leviticus 26.(You shall judge the truth only on the witness of two or more.)
The result of all of this brings me back to the beginning --I would stop and give understanding, perception and knowledge so that we would choose wisely. It is a great thing that I am not in charge, for I would blow the Righteous Outcome and settle for less, But The CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH knows what HE has done, and knows the perfect outcome. This is far beyond all human understanding so I will trust GOD and HIS plan. All I can do is: "Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed. 2 Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil."
Note: In order to be able to perform what Isaiah 56 speaks about, one must know the LAW, Judge himself(regarding his success and failures in doing so) and Walk humbly before the GOD of OUR FATHERS, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Seek out knowledge of GOD's laws and teachings. Seek the LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL, and you will find HIM.
I have a theory and this is not in the Torah, although based on the Torah and Tanakh, but it is from my understanding alone. It seems to me that the Master of the Universe, in knowing everything from the "Let There Be Light!" command to the "Lights Out!" command, is waiting for that perfect moment. That moment when the last soul chooses good instead of bad. . . . Really when the last TRUE choice is made for GOD, then all others will know their shame, of their choices and actions.
If I get questions regarding any and all of this, I will expound further.

Know This . . . .
Know This:
First, THERE IS, AWAYS WAS AND WILL ONLY BE:: ONE GOD, and each of of us is Required to choose and the choice is completely personal, you are either for GOD or against GOD(anything other than GOD is against GOD).
Second, What it means to choose: when we do as GOD has said to do (Find Laws, Explanations and Teachings in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy--they do not change,) we are for GOD, or we are against GOD by doing anything else.
Deuteronomy 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil, [Here we have repeated in various styles, return unto Hashe'm; follow HIS LAW; with all of your heart; with all of your soul;]
2) and shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
8) And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the LORD, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day.
10) if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
15) See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil,16 in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances; then thou shalt live and multiply, and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.
19) I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;20) to love the LORD thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave unto Him; for that is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Leviticus 19:
כז לֹא תַקִּפוּ, פְּאַת רֹאשְׁכֶם; וְלֹא תַשְׁחִית, אֵת פְּאַת זְקָנֶךָ. 27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
כח וְשֶׂרֶט לָנֶפֶשׁ, לֹא תִתְּנוּ בִּבְשַׂרְכֶם, וּכְתֹבֶת קַעֲקַע, לֹא תִתְּנוּ בָּכֶם: אֲנִי, יְהוָה. 28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD; and not rather that he should return from his ways, and live?
Jeremiah 17:
ה כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, אָרוּר הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בָּאָדָם, וְשָׂם בָּשָׂר, זְרֹעוֹ; וּמִן-יְהוָה, יָסוּר לִבּוֹ. 5 Thus saith the LORD: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
ו וְהָיָה כְּעַרְעָר בָּעֲרָבָה, וְלֹא יִרְאֶה כִּי-יָבוֹא טוֹב; וְשָׁכַן חֲרֵרִים בַּמִּדְבָּר, אֶרֶץ מְלֵחָה וְלֹא תֵשֵׁב. {ס} 6 For he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. {S}
ז בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּבֶר, אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בַּיהוָה; וְהָיָה יְהוָה, מִבְטַחוֹ. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose trust the LORD is.
The Torah(Five books of Moses) and the Tanakh(Torah, Prophets and Writings) contain the LAW, GOD'S COMPLAINT AGAINST MAN and HOW TO RETURN to RIGHTEOUSNESS. You can change your life, your soul and by your change maybe others you know and those you do not, will choose to change their life. FIRST YOU MUST SEEK THE ONLY GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, there is no other help or Salvation.

It is not enough!
Have you ever said that, "It is not Enough, . . . . .!"? Maybe to family, co-workers, employees, workers, church, . . . .
How about to . . . .GOD? Will GOD say that to YOU?
It is not enough for me, to assume that the few years of life that I have on earth, is all there is? I want to understand how I can lengthen my days if not remove death from the picture or going to the next Event.
Genesis 5:21) And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begot Methuselah. 22) And Enoch walked with God after he begot Methuselah three hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. 23) And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years. 24) And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God took him. Did Enoch follow GOD?
Exodus 32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: 'Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up unto the LORD, peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.' 31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them a god of gold. 32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.' 33 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Here we learn:
1) Even Moses could not forgiveness for another person.
2) GOD has Book of Names, and those removed are DEAD because of SIN. This book is also known as the 'Book Of Life'.
3) Judgment and the Book belong to GOD's.
4) Those that Sin against GOD are removed form the BOOK.
It is not enough for me to think that others should be better, I must strive to be better, even if they do not --it is after all is said and done MY SOUL that is effected by what I do.
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0420.htm This one I would like to give a summary, the l;ink is the whole chapter for you to read. In Numbers 20, the Children of Israel to the place that has ROCK and no water. The Elders and the people have been in the desert for several years --they should know better, that Moses whom the see and GOD whom they have seen and heard will not let them die because of lack of water
It is not enough to Know that GOD(the GOD of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac, the GOD of Jacob, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, . . . .) IS GOD AND THE ONLY GOD ONE. I must seek out GOD and discover what HE wants, if I want to Live.
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0215.htm Exodus 15:25) And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them; 26) and He said: 'If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His eyes, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD that healeth thee.'
Jeremiah 7:22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices; 23 but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
Deuteronomy 6: 4) Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5) And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
It is not enough to say the law. I must do(perform accordingly) so that my words are a copy of my actions.
It is not enough to watch others struggle to find the way. I must be available to show the way.
It is not enough to know right from wrong. I am required to be Righteous in my actions and deeds.
It is not enough to say I will be forgiven later. Later may not come. and if it does come and you are forgiven for your sins, the consequences of you actions will still have force upon you, your family and the world.
That is all for now, I will fill in later all of these and more. It is enough --for now.
How about to . . . .GOD? Will GOD say that to YOU?

Exodus 32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: 'Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up unto the LORD, peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.' 31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them a god of gold. 32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.' 33 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Here we learn:
1) Even Moses could not forgiveness for another person.
2) GOD has Book of Names, and those removed are DEAD because of SIN. This book is also known as the 'Book Of Life'.
3) Judgment and the Book belong to GOD's.
4) Those that Sin against GOD are removed form the BOOK.
It is not enough for me to think that others should be better, I must strive to be better, even if they do not --it is after all is said and done MY SOUL that is effected by what I do.
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0420.htm This one I would like to give a summary, the l;ink is the whole chapter for you to read. In Numbers 20, the Children of Israel to the place that has ROCK and no water. The Elders and the people have been in the desert for several years --they should know better, that Moses whom the see and GOD whom they have seen and heard will not let them die because of lack of water
It is not enough to Know that GOD(the GOD of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac, the GOD of Jacob, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, . . . .) IS GOD AND THE ONLY GOD ONE. I must seek out GOD and discover what HE wants, if I want to Live.
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0215.htm Exodus 15:25) And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them; 26) and He said: 'If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His eyes, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD that healeth thee.'
Jeremiah 7:22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices; 23 but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
Deuteronomy 6: 4) Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5) And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
It is not enough to say the law. I must do(perform accordingly) so that my words are a copy of my actions.
It is not enough to watch others struggle to find the way. I must be available to show the way.
It is not enough to know right from wrong. I am required to be Righteous in my actions and deeds.
It is not enough to say I will be forgiven later. Later may not come. and if it does come and you are forgiven for your sins, the consequences of you actions will still have force upon you, your family and the world.
That is all for now, I will fill in later all of these and more. It is enough --for now.
TruthintorahBB --What's Up?
Greetings Readers,
I am happy to declare that for the first three weeks of March 2013, TruthInTorahBB another Board which I write had more than 2 million pages read. I also had 12,000 registered readers(they actually created accounts). I say this because I praise GOD that some of my writings actually got into peoples minds, . . . . maybe hearts.
The reasons I am writing here is strange. Please let me present them:
1) My TruthintorahBB.ask-james.com directory became corrupt ten days ago. This happened in January just as my numbers started to explode. The fix at that time was to upload and perform a new install of PHPBB 3.11 -- which fixed the problem. --No other problems have occurred with the rest of my websites.i have performed the same copy and process as before to no avail.
2) During the installation a Install directory is created and access to the system is removed except for the administrator to perform the install. The install must be run from a browser and a install.php file. The Install directory keeps being erased within 60 seconds so no install can begin. I have checked the the security setting and am the only Administrator)registered on the system. yet only an Administrator can delete the files. I have tried this from other systems(in case there is something on my system) --no success. The issue only happens on the One Directory.
3) I must find another way.
Until I do, this is the place I will post.

Original Sin
What can
this be? I have heard it declared to be: Sex, Lust, Lying, Choosing against
GOD. . . .
I am in
favor of the last one as the original sin, committed in the Garden of Eden by
Adam and Eve. Yours and Mine are different "Original Sin."
The “Original
Sin” is just that, the first (original) sin. It is not Your sin! It is not Inherited
from anyone else!
A Proof Text
– http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0232.htm
Exodus 32 –Synopsis
(Moses had gone up to get the LAW from the ALMIGHTY, and the Children of Israel
created an Idol of Gold. When Moses returns he calls for those that follow the
LORD to come to him and the remainder are put to the sword. )
{Exodus 32: 31
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a
great sin, and have made them a god of gold.
32 Yet now,
if Thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy
book which Thou hast written.'
33 And the
LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of
My book.}
In this text
we learn:
1)
The Children of Israel worshipped an idol, a great
sin.
2)
Moses, favored by the ALMIGHTY did not accept Moses’s
soul for even one sinner.
3)
In fact we are told only the sinner is punished.
4)
This is the only place I have found that mentions or
refers to a Book of Live Souls (verse 33). This is my gleaning from the text –those
that have sinned are blotted out of MY book.
So what
actually happened with the first sin?
Soul marked
as dead. (“Genesis 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die.'"JPS1917 ver.)
Eve informs
the snake; {Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of
the trees of the garden we may eat;
3 but of the
fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said: Ye shall
not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'
4 And the
serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;
5 for God
doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and
ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.' }
In this we learn
that Eve knows what she of what is forbidden and the consequence for doing it.
She goes with It looks good and I will be like GOD.
All of this is true! She
LOST her innocence to gain the knowledge of right and wrong. She stopped being Childlike,
(innocent) and became responsible “Doing what she knew was wrong” for her sin(choosing
against GOD).
Meaning that
the snake is correct --you will be like GOD, knowing right from wrong. This
doesn't mean either were without knowledge, only that they had not sinned and
had not learned that terrible information.
To this day
we seem to be unable to understand this event. The importance on this knowledge
begins to tear away the human lies about sin and its mystery. Now we are faced
with a terrible consequence, that of knowing that "I am guilty",
without being able to blame anyone else.
It is also a
great time to remember that NO ONE ELSE CAN DAMAGE YOUR SOUL AND ONLY GOD CAN
CLEANSE IT.
We are not
punished for another's sin, nor is anyone else punished for your sin. Keep in
mind they because this true none but GOD can take away sin from another.
We are each
accountable for what we do and the results of what we leave in our passing.
As always, I
encourage you to read the text for yourself. An online resource with a respectable
translation of the Original Hebrew is:
I will
continue to work on this, and look forward to any discussion regarding the
Bible, Tanakh, Torah( Five Books of Moses) as these are foundational text in my
view.

How important am I?
How important am I? A question I think almost every person has asked at least once.
One answer is in the story of a man with a single note in each front pocket of his pants. In the right pocket, the note reads "I am nothing but dust and ashes"
And in the left pocket the note reads "For ME the world was created." When he is full of his own importance he reads the Right Pocket. When he is down and troubled he reads the Left. In this way he finds balance in his life. --the proof of the true is in what follows.
I do not mean to sound condescending or smug about what I will attempt to explain as my answer for each of us, but I pray that I have it right and that you can understand the answer.
Foundation, really needed to build any understanding.
1) I am a speck of dust on a ball 24,667.38674242424 miles circumference at the equator. Traveling on the ball at approximately 1,028 mph, which travels 587,542,595.52 miles a year in its obit of the sun, which is approximately 93,000,000 miles to the surface of our star.
2) As of today, earth's population is an estimated to be numbered at 7.063 billion by the United States Census Bureau (USCB)(wikipedia).
3) A star is 24,559,659,090,909.09 miles away, named Proxima Centauri, whixh is the next closest star to our own. http://heasarc.nasa.gov/docs/cosmic/nearest_star_info.html
4) Man has estimated the size of the universe as: The region visible from Earth (the observable Universe) is a sphere with a radius of about 47 billion light years(wikipedia) --The next closest star to us is 4.5 light years away.
I am still a tiny speck on a particle traveling through this estimated vast distance and space, . . . . and yet I know the creator of all of this Knows ME and everyone of US --intimately.
One explanation of a connection we have with GOD is from Gensis 2:4) These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. 5) No shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground; 6) but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.7) Then the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. [Translation is JPS 1917]
In this quotation we can see that creation was ready to begin growing and producing, yet it was not started because "there was not a man to till the ground",a gardener if you will, so the earth waited for US. When we or the first man was created from the dust, there LORD GOD "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life" and the man became a "Living Soul'. It is that Breath of GOD or SOUL that is the most important connection with GOD. Through this connect, I believe that if for no other reason GOD knows everything about each of US. No matter where you on the earth, in it or above it. . . . GOD knows everything about me. I can not lie to GOD because I am truly KNOWN. What ever I have done, am doing or will do, the GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac and GOD of Jacob, that GOD sustains me and allows me to return to HIM if I am willing to stop doing that which is against HIS LAW and TEACHING.
Proofs: Ezekiel 18: 4) Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die. . . . 20) The soul that sinneth, it shall die; the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father with him, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son with him; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21) But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22) None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him; for his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. This is great news for all of US, that we can return to GOD.
Now comes the WARNING!
Ezekiel 18:24) But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered; for his trespass that he trespassed, and for his sin that he hath sinned, for them shall he die. 30) Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so shall they not be a stumblingblock of iniquity unto you. 32) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD; wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
I know that I have taken pieces of text to present answers and evidence to support my observations. I have done this to demonstrate evidence to support my conclusions, and yet I truly encourage you to read the complete Chapters, Books and YES the FULL Tanach (a.k.a. OLD Testament) the more you read to seek understanding the More YOU WILL UNDERSTAND and KNOW.
My Intent here is to demonstrate that YOU are important to the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.. All were created by design and for a definite outcome, of which WE cannot fully understand creation, our purpose or the CREATOR. We still continue to discover layers of wisdom and power, of which we have only scratched the smallest part.
It is great for me to know that while I am so small, I am known, desired and blessed by My Creator. I know that you can and should know this also.
May the GOD of Israel bless you and keep you in HIS care.
Okay, So Really How important am I? The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth did not create anything that was a waste. Even an ANT plays its part in the universe, while the ant seams small and insignificant, a single ant can bite at the exact moment required to change the current thoughts of the one bitten, which would change something else and that something else changes, . . . . Timing in the Tanach makes all of the difference every time. Moses, Cain, Noah, Abram(Abraham), Isaac, Samuel, David son of Jesse. In fact every person and every action is required in the correct sequence, at exactly the right time and with the correct observers.
How important are you? You have a definite purpose and value. One for which you are required to make all of the perfect choices and actions. Your choice to do or not to do is still yours to make and do. Maybe you should make the best choice you can. If all you do is hold space(in the universe) or just breath, you choice and your actions are known, and require you to do them. It's a Wonderful Life is a movie that make a nice attempt to demonstrate the value of a life, any life.
In terms of human ideas, "the law of conservation of energy, first formulated in the nineteenth century, is a law of physics. It states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. The total energy is said to be conserved over time. For an isolated system, this law means that energy can change its location within the system, and that it can change form within the system, for instance chemical energy can become kinetic energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy
