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.

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.
