Band from discussing GOD LAW

The original quote from Mark Twain is “Truth is more a stranger than fiction.” became “Truth is stranger that fiction.”
Recently I experienced this tale which I shall relate, which is also the Truth, believe it or not.


I have commented to some that know me personally that I do not mind discussing the Written Torah and the Tanach with anyone, including Rabbi's. I write a blog, this one. I attend Torah study and sometimes Talmud class(to see if I can find anything to trust or where are these guys heads as they lead the thoughts over thousands of years), I meet religious and non-religious people on the street and I answer questions using the Jewish Scriptures. For a while I wrote to a Rabbi in Israel, which is on the radio, but he stopped responding. I have been a call-in questioner and discusser on a Religious radio station in Israel, attended chat room discussions regarding religious radio shows, discussing the Writings of Moses and the Prophets of the Tanach, where I have listeners write to me from Europe, Canada, Mexico and the USA, some with questions, some to say how much I have helped them without speaking to them directly or having any other connection to them. These were a Blessing from GOD, and I thank HIM for allowing me to help. I even had someone that wrote me and thought that he wanted me to discuss with Rabbi Tovia Singer in Israel and another Rabbi I have not previously heard of, but it needed to be several hours as my questions were too deep and penetrating(in his view). All very nice things to hear, maybe this is how I can help others....

For the last couple months I have been writing on that radio station's Wall, answering questions and attempting to clear up misunderstandings where various people have espoused and opinion which, while not true according to my readings of GOD's word, actually hurt and chase people away from GOD. The manager of the Wall, recently declare that the Wall was the Radio Stations and religious discussions which were not directly addressed to the host of a show, were not welcome there. I was in shock and hoar as I realized that a Israel Radio station which hosted many Religious and Spiritual programs did not want listeners to discuss Religion or Spirituality without a show host. I went looking for some place where I could discuss “Religion or Spirituality” as it relates to being a Light Unto To The Nations(according to God and HIS Law). I found forums which discussions were “Religion or Spirituality”, I think I have found a place to discuss GOD and His Law, HAAAAA!. I answered about a half dozen standing questions, and received several very nice personal notes reporting how much my words helped them. However, I also had hecklers, those name callers which espouse the good of men's words and decline to think about the Writings of Moses or GOD's Prophets in the Tanach. I am used to the idea that others have differing opinions, this has been going on for a few thousand years. But then they got ugly about it, and then it got worse. I will not let them beat me down, but also have to keep a tight rein on my emotions, which is not easy for me considering the topics. My Faith, My Jewishness, My Knowledge of Scripture and Translations, …..really, these became ad hominem (is the logical fallacy of attempting to undermine a speaker's argument by attacking the speaker instead of addressing the argument) attacks, and were performed by the monitors of the forum, then I was barred from any input or discussion. 'I have been barred from a forum for speaking and writing what the word of GOD says in, not verse form but in block of text for contextual reference to demonstrate the TRUTH of what is written.”

A very painful event for me, but GOD does participate in the world. I talked it over with GOD, while I was walking the god last night. I told him all of my concerns and how I really needed to know that I was going in the Right Direction. I need to know which way to go..... I go back to the computer to see if this is just a mix up, hoping that I was wrong in my understanding of what has happened. I received a private message from someone that that had reported to me that I had helped –I am sorry you are band, but I will seek answers from you on your blog. This was very nice to receive, and something I needed to hear. Seconds later, I got a personal message from a family in Ohio, telling me that I was their hero because they had given up finding anyone that spoke about GOD and HIS Laws, I had given this family of eight reason to continue to seek to convert to Judaism. Another great blessing from GOD and a confirmation that I am on the Right Path. This has happened to me before in November 2009, but personal, face-to-face strangers telling me that have been inspired by me, as they have been watching me for some time. That time the messages were twenty minutes apart, and a few blocks away on the street. GOD does answer pray and HE is in this world.

What is the point of this: Do what is right according to the Writings of Moses(Torah) and the GOD's Prophets in the Tanach. Moses is the rule and explanation of what is required. The other Prophets declare how we have failed, GOD's evidence against us and the punishments decreed by GOD, but also exactly what we need to do to stop the pain and get blessed by GOD. It really is simple to say, a little harder to perform, but most refuse to listen. There is a rabbinical saying that, We are not going to be able to fix the world, but neither are we allow to stop trying. There are things to learn from others, but not we it puts MY SOUL at risk of GOD's Anger by over riding GOD's LAWS and Precepts. I will hold to the God of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac, the GOD of Jacob, and HIS promises. What do you hold on to?


Most of us, (I believe trust the religious leaders that we have chosen to follow, but where do you think they are taking you? ) follow a religious leader because they make us feel good, or we like their way of addressing an issue, or they have charisma, what ever the reason prior to this we should find those that lead us to GOD, always using the Word of GOD as the measure of TRUTH, not the word of man. (Isaiah 29:13) Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:(KJV) I happen to like the JPS 1999 version better, however they really are saying the same thing when you look at the meanings and not get hung up on individual words. You can after all re-interpret every word to loss all meaning, and it seems that is happening, You will need to study any passage in the Tanach which you find anyway questionable. A really great way to learn –for me.
Seek Truth, Do Justice and Love GOD to be Righteous.

Why did G-D allow the Holocaust?

Yes, without reservation I say the Tanach/Hebrew Bible say that HE did it,
and NO, WE DID IT!

What evidence is there for these conclusions? And why?

Let us start with the basics first. G-D created the Good and the Bad
(Isaiah 45:7) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.(KJV) [I am the One]Who forms the light and creates darkness; Who makes peace and creates evil; I am H'Shem(G-D), Maker of all these. (Art Scroll Tanach- The Stone Edition) I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe--- I the Lord do all of these things. (JPS Tanach 1999 Edition)



The Why Question:
This one is very easy for me to locate in the Torah(written) and the Tanach. What is not easy, is that most can not Hear to perceive neither can See to Understand, This was Moses's(G-D's) complaint in Deuteronomy 29, where at the end of Moses's life it seems that he demonstrates that the people can not understand the last 40+ years which they have seen. I have reasons to believe that this too is G-D's plan, but that is another topic. REMEMBER THIS Please, On the witness of two or more shall you judge the TRUTH of a Matter. This is a paraphrase, but you can find not only does G-D present everything important twice, HE also calls on TWO Witnesses. For example: I call Heaven and Earth to bear witness against you--(Deuteronomy 30:19)
Back to the current subject: The blessings and curses are recorded twice Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 27—30:1. Leviticus is more concise for this topic so we will go there. (Leviticus 26:14) But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;(Leviticus 26:15) And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: PUNISHMENT, have we changed? (Leviticus 26:21) And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins....PUNISHMENT, have we changed? (Leviticus 26:23) And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; PUNISHMENT, have we changed? (Leviticus 26:27) And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;(Leviticus 26:28) Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. So how do we end this? (Leviticus 26:40) If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;(Leviticus 26:41) And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: (Leviticus 26:42) Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
While G-D uses the Children of Israel to teach the families of the Earth, THAT G-D IS, AND WHAT ALL ARE TO DO, we have the job of receiving the BLESSING or the CURSE and are not allowed to disappear so that ALL THE EARTH SHALL KNOW G-D. (the families of the earth will bless themselves by YOU. (G-D tells Abram in Genesis 12) If only we Children of Israel, would wake up and repent to the G-D of our Fathers, The G-D of Abraham, The G-D of Isaac, The G-D of Jacob, and truly seek to do HIS LAW ( (Malachi 4:4) Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.) The Covenant is (Exodus 24:7) And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. Is a written contract with G-D. Or if you do not like these try: (Ezekiel 18:21) But if the wicked will 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.


G-D tells us what he wants, many times, then what we do.

(Ezekiel 20:19) I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; (20) And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God. (21) Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my Sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

There is Hope, a promise to KNOW: (Ezekiel 20:33) As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: (34) And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. (35) And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. (36) Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. (37) And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: (38) And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. --(Ezekiel 20:44) And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Remember we have always had the warnings and THE CHOICE, To choose G-D or not, then we get the Blessings(WE ARE THEN A NATION OF PRIEST) or the punishment until it is painful enough that we willing return to G-D. But one way or the other we will return, as a nation. We can live individually, by returning to G-D(H'Shem) or not, that is our personal choice and the result will also be from our choice. This is the way it has always been for us, we have chosen our way and taught that to our children, which is not what Moses said that G-D Wanted.


THE REALITY IS THAT WE CAUSE THE HOLOCAUST, BY OUR CHOICES, we just refuse to admit it.
(Deuteronomy 32:28) For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.(29) O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

May the G-D of our Fathers, give us ears to hear and eyes to see, right now. B''H'Shem

A stiff neck, rebellious people?

We are a creation of G-D. All of us are HIS, by HIS handiwork, HIS will and the breath of Life HE placed within each of us.

We seemly, by our rebellious nature, refuse to give our acknowledgment to the Love, Power and Righteousness of the G-D of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. We go out of our way to avoid performing HIS commandments and judgments which give life to our soul and death upon disobedience to our soul.

We seemingly, with full knowledge, strive to misunderstand that which is HIS LAW and instead seek to create laws of men to overrule the G-D that created us. This we do as if we have the wisdom to understand the results of such policies. Even so, we are still here. Not by our power, or might, or wisdom can we honestly lay claim to saving ourselves from annihilation many, many times over the past 3,500 years.

We will be a Nation of priest, when we accept the G-D that created us and sustains us. Until then we have a job to do. A job that G-D told Abram about and we take as a blessing. A job that while we read the text of the Torah, we continue to get it wrong, and walk in the same rut, year after year.


The Job: We are the witness to the whole earth that G-D IS, That there is only One, that WE(all of us) are to love the L'RD with All of our heart, all of our soul, all of our being.

IF we are great in this task, we are blessed with peace, abundance and holiness so that the Whole World see that G-D is G-D. Truly we will be a Nation of Priest, leading the way to H'shem and Righteousness.
But, as we have continually refused to perform that which we are commanded by our G-D, we demonstrate by our suffering, decimation, and the hatred of us by the world, and not our being allowed to disappear from the earth, that there is a G-D in Israel, a G-D that is G-D. We are HIS witnesses whether we like it or not.
So why is it that we continue to hurt ourselves in such a self-hating manner?

Don't you understand that H'shem needs no curse to punish us, unless the idea of a curse is that you simply allow the other to perform in such a manner as to draw out the hate they feel for themselves and the hate others will feel toward them, thereby allowing them to all but destroy themselves totally.


Here is what I strive to do daily. To Love the G-D, To follow HIS LAWs and Rules, to Keep the Sabbath completely. I do not say that it is easy, only that I strive to get it right.

With the Love of G-D and some effort on your part, you to can be Righteous before H'shem.
B''Shem
Shalom,
Yaakov

re:Threaten Jews’ Independence

British and American Courts Threaten Jews’ Independence
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
located at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/135934

The crux of the store is displayed in two forms:

1) The general rules of Law against discrimination in England and the USA make the dissolving of the Jewish Community by making it racist to require a Jewish status to do something. More to the point on this one, is the fact that Muslims via Sharia Law in England are not subject to the same Laws of England as everyone else in England. This is complete discrimination against all others not in our faith, not just who is, but the Laws that govern everyday life is different on the same street.

2) This form, depending on which side you are on, presents the question directly at the Jewish Community. Should a Rabbi or Rabbis have the power to discriminate against other Jews that do not agree with them or there version of worship?

What I intend to present here is:

Where do I come down on these issues. There has been given these issues a lot of thought. I was married to a non-religious Jew for 22 years, and from the beginning the question of who would accept Me, Us and our marriage was an issue. Even as I write this, a little girl came and talked to her Mom, about Mezuzahs. Her Bobbie(Grand Mother) told her the a special scribe writes a scroll to put into the Mezuzahs, and that because these Mezuzahs did not have the llitle scroll from an accepted scribe, they are not Kosher. The Bobbie is Orthodox in opinion. This is a great example of why there is so much disagreement in the Jews Communities. The Torah only says to inscribe (the words you are to teach your children) upon the door post of your house and upon your gates. From that simple line a group of individuals make a living by telling everyone else that you must pay us to get it right. Even at that, what are they getting “right”? No where in the Torah nor Tanach is it said that someone else should tell you how to worship G-D, for which this particular law in from Moses regarding ways to remember that “The Lord our G-D is G-D, there is only One, and that You are to Love the Lord with all of your heart, all of your soul and all of your being.” Those are what you and I are to remember continuously. Not that hard to follow, so why define a business out of it and a way to alienate other Jews with a particular heckscher(sign of approval) from a certain Rabbi or group of Rabbis. Okay, Okay, this(the bikering) has been going on for 2,300 years at least. My issue should never have been an issue, there is only
One G-D and He has the same Laws for Everyone. So what are all of these religious leaders or teachers actually doing, I want them so show us how to Worship H’Shem not them. But should they be stopped from the bickering, YES and it will happen, but only by G-D at the same time all other pettiness is stopped by G-D.

Where do the Torah(Writings of Moses in Five Books) and the Tanach side on these issues.

This one is easy, If you worship the Living G-D, the G-d of Abram, Issac and Jacob, and keep HIS Laws, keep HIS Sabbath to not pollute it and Keep your hands from doing evil, if you “Attach yourself to H’shem by Accept the Covenant at Mt. Horeb, or Mt. Sinai”, YOU ARE AS ACCEPTABLE any decedent of Jacob. IF you are from the five nations explicitly forbidden are the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites. Anyone else as a group is acceptable, and even individually even these can be acceptable(Ruth in the book of Ruth is a Moabite, and the great grand mother of King David, married to a man of the Tribe of Judah.

If it was G-D’s Law that was being followed by everyone, this would not be a concern. If this Law applied to ALL PEOPLE without exception, it might be O.K., but in reality this process of law against the JEWS and others has happened over and over in history just prior to the Progroms, an expulsion, a genocide or by others like Hilter and the 3rd Reich.

What do you think ? Is it another “Here we go again!”?

Why do only Jews get to go to Heaven?

The Question was: Will someone please explain, why do only Jews get to go to Heaven, and the rest of humanity, that Gd did create, go to some second kind of Heaven?

It seems that the person who asked this question heard a Rabbi make a similar statement. This upset the questioner greatly and she was confused and angry. Personally, I can understand the mood of the questioner, and I will say that I was very disturbed that any religious leader would or could say such a thing, but it is not unexpected, at least by me. False Shepherds *1(those giving directions, teaching and misleading those people seeking G-D, they are actually leading people away from G-D for their own pleasure)abound everywhere and act more like the Snake in the Garden of Eden than shepherds of H'shem's flock.

I have found No Validation for such a statement as the questioner asks, nor has anyone come forth with proof from the Word of G-D either, in support of what we are upset about.

I have given a response to the writer, and now to you, explaining what I have found to be true by using the word of H'Shem found in the Torah(writings of Moses) and Tanach(Prophets sent by H'shem).

First issue: Only the Jews -- Ezekiel 37, tells how G-D will bring the Jews and All of the Tribes of Israel back. A very good read.

There is one law for Children of Israel and the stranger in the midst(not choosing to be of The Chosen)((Exodus 12:49) One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. (Numbers 15:16) One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.), maybe Isaiah 56 will be a better place to look. This passage speaks directly to those who have chosen to be joined to the Lord or the stranger's son. H'shem has declared that they (Isaiah 56:7) Even them(the stranger's son) will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.

This part relates to the End of Days, and there are great amounts of Prophesy regarding what will happen and when. If you chose G-D as your G-d and as Isaiah reports it: "(Isaiah 56:6) Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;(Isaiah 56:7) 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 accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Fear not what the people say, but truly seek the Lord our G-D with all of your heart, all of your soul and all of your being, for it is the Lord G-D that is my Salvation and He does not Sleep nor Goes on vacation. His full plan for my life is unknown to me, only that HE has been my protector all the days of my life. G-d is Righteous in deed and judgment. B''H'shem.

This can go on as long as you want me to show you H'shem and what we are to do. Did I go to deep? Was I easy to understand? Do you have questions? Send me an email by selecting the icon of an envelope below.

*1 (Ezekiel 34:2) Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
