Prosperity Gospel

Shalom,
As anyone can tell, I am not on board any longer with the western christian church doctrine. One of my points of contention is the blessing the church claims. It seems the "church" wants all the blessings and refuses the instruction and the process by which the blessing is acquired.

Salvation is a free gift, it is the door way to a new life. This new life brings the blessing as you learn and obey the Torah. The ruach (spirit) will never say anything different then what the Scripture already confirms for us.

My previous teachers would say that accepting the Messiah is all the blessing and instruction you need, everything else only complicates your "faith" and puts you into bondage. I have now come to understand (and will continue to explain) that being "born again" is by definition a start not an end result! Messiah is called the firstborn among many because He is the first to have his incorruptible body- no one I know has their incorruptible body yet.

My question for Sunday preachers is: How do you deny the Law of Moses as a relevant teaching, yet you pass the plate to receive TITHES only prescribed in the Law?

There are no commandments to meet on Sunday every week. In addition, it is purely a social decision to attend church and pay for the building, lights, and what ever other project happens to be going. We are commanded to keep the Feasts of YHWH, and to keep the Sabbath. Collecting tithes: (and there are different tithes calculated by cycles) is to be done by Levites. How does the christian church receive this money as tithes, when it is not connected to Israel, Levites, or even the correct understanding of tithing? Yes, we have favor (grace), but really folks? Most people have no idea about the other tithes let alone: firstfruits, offerings, and alms.

The "God" of modern Christianity seems to be prosperity. The biggest message coming through in christian books and christian TV is, "come to Jesus and get...". Every TV "prophet" is speaking wealth and health. They are all saying peace and safety. While, I agree that the covenant life is equal and compatible with prosperity, it shouldn't be the focus of our teaching or doctrine. Yes, there should be plenty of instruction about money- it should come from the Torah.

D'varim (Deut.) 28:1-2
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

The Law says if you do this Torah you will live by it. So, doing work gets you a blessing, not salvation. The commands equal blessing and salvation is equal to righteousness. You can not get salvation by works, and you can't get blessing by just showing up righteous (saved). This is explained in Romans. How Avraham Avinu believed a promise and got righteousness, he didn't do some command and then receive righteousness. Avraham's blessing came from his willingness to walk out the instruction given. The same instruction given to us: HaTorah!

The focus of the Torah is the helping of the widows, poor, and orphans. This is the job of the believer, not to build large buildings and projects for "the Lord".

I'll finish with only words we need: the Torah.

D'varim (Deut) 8:18 "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."

Lucid Dreaming

One of the things that has made me feel different through the course of my life is the fact that many of my dreams are what are considered: lucid dreams. These are dreams where you know that you are in a dream state, and then begin to change, alter, or interact with the dream.

It is my belief that the large amount of time sleeping should not be spent drifting aimlessly in the sea of thoughts. Should we not use this time to seek truth? Consider this:

2 Cor 12:2-4
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell.

This is clearly lucid dreaming or astral projection. (Astral projection being out-of-body type phenomenon.) Both, I believe are tools that get misused by some groups, but ultimately should be used in the worship of YHWH and the revelation to mankind. Should fools and false prophets be the only qualified individuals to teach these things? Or is it the people of the Covenant who should be leaders in the spirit and meta-physical world?Here is another example:

Acts 10:9-10
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

This trance, in Hebrew and Greek, is an altered state, not a normal nap. The Creator of heaven and earth uses many avenues and methods to teach and reach his people. Most believers are scared of dreams and astral projection. I personally believe because we dream, our dreams must serve YHWH also.

I must say that this ties into my post on the sleeping prophet Edgar Cayce. All of his insight came while in a trance or sleep. What power do our dreams hold? How about Enoch? After reading the books of Enoch, one walks away with a understanding that he was involved in higher forms of worship and communion with the Almighty then most care to realize. Tapping into areas of awareness and new information seem available to all through our dreams.

My conclusion is that true seekers should use every available resource to gain more awareness and a higher level of consciousness. I do not see this as a violation of the Torah, "Love Adonai your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." (D'varim 6:5)

Don't- Get your flu shot.




As fall approaches, I am intrigued by the claim that the vaccine for the swine flu (H1N1) is a government/medical industrial complex plan to thin out the populous. Why would anyone think this? Consider the following, according to David Icke:

"
Jane Bürgermeister has filed bioterrorism charges against pharmaceutical giants like Novartis International AG, based in Basel, Switzerland, Baxter AG, based in Austria, and its parent company, Baxter International in Deerfield, Illinois. Guess who is providing much of the swine flu vaccine for mass inoculation - Baxter International and Novartis."

So, looking deeper into these vaccinations this is what you'll find:

http://www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk/documents/vaccines/Baxter%20Vaccine%20Patent%20Application.pdf

-This is the PDF that shows a patent filed Aug 28,2008! Published in March of 2009 before the large out breaks of the swine flu in Mexico. The talking heads keep saying we're waiting on the vaccine. That is simply false. What we are waiting on is the quick tests and study of this vaccine, in which we will never see all the data. What else is there? I'm so glad you asked:

http://www.drcarley.com/pdf/Jane%27s_Criminal_Indictment_to_WHO.pdf

-This is another PDF of the case and the criminal charges that are being filed against the WHO (World Health Organization) and many others. I especially thought Jane's comments on the 1976 swine flu event is revealing. She says:

"WHO is obliged to exhaust all other avenues before declaring a pandemic and initiating a mass vaccination programme because you must-- as a part of your duties to be informed as the holder of such an office -- know that the 1976 swine flu mass vaccination programme was abandoned by the US government because of the mounting evidence that the risk to the general public was greater from the vaccination programme than from the actual swine flu... I contend that you are not fulfilling your duty to a) provide accurate information to the public about the threats posed to them by the swine flu and b) to ensure you do not declare a pandemic prematurely as a pretext to rush a contaminated of faulty vaccine material that could result in death or injury to people as happened in 1976."

Wow, this is shaping up to be a great conspiracy: having all the right players. It is specifically the rapid movement of those players that compels great concern. This is still the land of the free, so do what you like. I know I will not be taking the vaccine and encourage others not to take it as well. I leave you with the words of David Icke:

"
Never was this more important than with the conspiracy to force swine flu vaccination upon the global population. The swine flu virus was created in a laboratory to generate mass panic with the specific intention of forcing everyone to have the vaccine. Problem-Reaction-Solution. This 'natural' swine flu virus apparently contains genes from humans, birds and pigs from several continents."

"
It is no longer an option to do nothing or passively acquiesce to authority out of fear or apathy. Or, at least, it's not if we care about our freedoms and, most importantly, those of our children and grandchildren who will have to live almost their entire lives under a global jackboot of sheer, undiluted evil."

Judaizing 201: Who are the false witnesses?

The Hebrew Roots Movement is for real and is here to stay. We have all the science on our side. We have all the Scripture on our side. We have all the history on our side, and most importantly, we have the Messiah on our side.

Part one: The Messiah and His commandments are one. Do not separate the two.

1) Fools will always try to separate the word of the Almighty from the Messiah. They are one in the same folks.

2) The Messiah is the law made into flesh. If He comes into your life, there is no excuse for any move to the left or right.

3) All scripture is written and kept in HEBREW, let's all check the context one more time!

4) Legalists’ push the commandments of man. One can NEVER be legalistic with the commands of the Father.

5) The Messiah is a prophet given by YHWH and outlined by Moses. MOSES defines the terms not some christian group or council.

I know what some are thinking: as far as grace and law, some think that "grace" is somehow different from the Law, oh how you are mistaken. The text says Noah found favor (grace) in the "Law". Maybe read it before you set aside the tutor.

For those who reject the Law and the Commandments: If you don't accept the word of the Mighty One of Israel: Which commandment should the Father repent for?

Part two: All you 'bible' buffs hear this!

While publicly Judaism will not hear about Yahushua the Messiah, we must remember this, it is only a partial blindness.

Romans 11:25For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

There is a part of the truth that some do not see, namely the Messiah. BUT, there is a part that Judaism does see, and that's the Torah. The partial blindness is only so the gentiles can catch up! And it is this instruction, teaching, and education in righteousness that brushes all the false doctrine out of our belief.

I continue with Romans 11:24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

The gentiles, nations, pagans are a wild tree. It is the Yahudim who are cultivated. The sons of Avraham are said in scripture to be "cultivated" while the nations are wild. It is this education that is sorely needed in the christian doctrine.

Christians, if you keep breaking commandments and teaching others to do so: realize you are least in the kingdom. And that's in the scripture, for real. Look it up in Matt 5:17-20. Oh, and by the way, clearly fulfill can not mean abolish in this passage.

Part three: Finally, let's be clear who the Scripture reveals as false witnesses, Acts 6:13

They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”

I tell you that FLASE WITNESSES still say the same thing today. That Messiah will change the customs of Moses. Clearly Steven didn't teach those things, Shaul didn't teach those things, and the Messiah never did either.I side with the book of Acts: those who say that the Messiah came to change or alter Moses are false witnesses.

Peace
