YermeYah's message:

HalleluYAH...

Shabbat Shalom to all

The thing that I'm going to share this evening is part 2 of the Sermon on the mount.

I am going to begin where I began part one, and that is at the end....

Matthew 7:28 - And it came to pass, when Yahushua had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Matthew 7:29 - For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

I have always been impressed with this saying, rabbi Yahushua, our master, taught with authortiy, and not as the scribes...

Luke 20:1 - And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

Luke 20:2 - And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

Luke 20:3 - And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

Luke 20:4 - The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

Luke 20:5 - And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

Luke 20:6 - But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

Luke 20:7 - And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

Luke 20:8 - And Yahushua said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

That is very interesting indeed! What was the difference between the way Yahushua taught and the way the scribes taught?

Yahushua lived what he taught, but the the scribes did not, thus making their teachings without authority.

Matthew 23:1 - Then spake Yahushua to the multitude, and to his disciples,

Matthew 23:2 - Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

Matthew 23:3 - All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Matthew 23:4 - For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

Matthew 23:5 - But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

the scribes and Pharisees taught the law of Moses, that was their authority, but they were hypocrites because they did not live what they taught, making their authority of non effect...

and as Yahushua pointed out, everything they did was to be seen of men, and not of the heavenly Father

And thus, Yahushua's teaching had "authority", but the scribes and Pharisee's teaching did not!

Now, I am going to continue on with Yahushua's sermon on the mount in Matthew chapter 5 and verse 17...

after sharing the chatactaristics of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Heaven in the previous verses...

Yahushua now moves on to a statement that is usually "misinterpreted" by most of churchianity...

Matthew 5:17 - Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew 5:18 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matthew 5:19 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:20 - For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Let's take a look at what Yahushua said, using the Word of YAHWEH to interpret itself...

First he said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets"...

Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our Elohim shall stand for ever.

Luke 16:17 - And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

At this point, there isn't much confusion, but with Yahushua's next words comes "misunderstanding"...

"I am not come to destroy but to fulfill"

What did Yahushua mean here?

The Greek word used for "fulfill" is Strong's number 4137 "pleroo"

Here is a breakdown of how it is translated in the King James Version...

fulfil 51, fill 19, be full 7, complete 2, end 2, misc 9;

The Greek word used for "destroy" is strong's number 2647 "kataluo"

definition...Strong's...

It is broken down as follows...

AV - destroy 9, throw down 3, lodge 1, guest 1, come to nought 1, overthrow 1, dissolve 1; 17

One definition of the word "fulfill" (pleroo) is...

"of matters of duty: to perform, execute"

therefore, it is obvious Yahushua was refering to "opposites" when he said " I have come not to destroy (overthrow) but to fulfill (perform, execute) the law and the prophets.

Yahushua came not only to cause to come to pass prophesies by his actions and sufferings...

but He also came to perform perfect obedience to the law of YAHWEH...and to explain it fully by His teachings.

Yahushua continues explaining how his ministry relates to the Torah (law)...

Matthew 5:18 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Luke 21:33 - Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

And the apostle Kepha backs it up!...

1Peter 1:24 - For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

1Peter 1:25 - But the word of YHWH endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Yahushua says it in other words in Luke...

Luke 16:17 - And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Yahushua continues his message in Matthew 5:19...

Matthew 5:19 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Yahushua is teaching here, a precept found in the Torah...

Deuteronomy 12:32 - What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Churchianity is very guilty of breaking this commandment of Yahushua.

They love to use Paul by taking him out of context to show that the law is a thing of the past!

For instance, they love to quote Galations

Galatians 3:13 - The Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

If someone wants to believe that Paul taught against the law, then that is what they are going to believe!

But, Paul taught that we are to not live by the works of the flesh...

Galatians 5:19 - Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Galatians 5:20 - Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Galatians 5:21 - Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of YHWH.

The works of the flesh are sin!!

Romans 7:25 - Thanks be to YHWH through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of YHWH; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in the Messiah Yahushua, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:2 - For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yahushua hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:3 - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, YHWH sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Romans 8:4 - That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:5 - For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 - For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:7 - Because the carnal mind is enmity against YHWH: for it is not subject to the law of YHWH, neither indeed can be.

Romans 8:8 - So then they that are in the flesh cannot please YHWH.

I would like to quote verses 7 & 8 from the NIV, to emphasize what Paul is saying...

Romans 8:7 The sinful mind is hostile to YAHWEH. It does not submit to YAHWEH's law, nor can it do so.

Romans 8:8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please YAHWEH.

Therefore it should be obvious that those who don't want to keep YAHWEH's laws are being controlled by their sinful nature.

Yahushua continues...

Matthew 5:20 - For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Yahushua said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and the Pharisees.

What is their righteousness?

There are several examples in the scriptures, but here is one...

Yahushua was saying in Luke 16:13...

Luke 6:13 - And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

Luke 6:14 - Simon, (whom he also named Kepha,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

Luke 6:15 - Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

oops

Luke 16:13 - No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve YHWH and mammon.

Luke 16:14 - And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

Luke 16:15 - And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but YHWH knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of YHWH.

Notice how Yahushua pointed out that their righteousness was in the fact that they justified themselves in the sight of men, but Yahweh knows their hearts!

Now for a contrast...

Luke 18:10 - Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

Luke 18:11 - The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, Elohim, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

Luke 18:12 - I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Luke 18:13 - And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Elohim be merciful to me a sinner.

Luke 18:14 - I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

It seems that Yahushua is saying that we must be humble if we are to be his...that is to say....to be justified

So, the way to be justified in YAHWEH's eyes, is to have our hearts right...

Psalm 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim; and renew a right spirit within me.

Now Yahushua begins to speak about specific commands in the law, and how they have been misinterpreted and misunderstood as to their true meaning and intent...

Matthew 5:21 - Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment:

Matthew 5:22 - But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Raca, shall be in danger of Gehenna fire.

The truth that Yahushua is bringing forth is that to be angry is the first step to murder.

1John 3:15 - Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

James 1:15 - Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

James 4:1 - From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

James 4:2 - Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

For a witness of this truth in the "old testament", let's turn to Proverbs...

Proverbs 6:16 - These six things doth YHWH hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

Proverbs 6:17 - A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Proverbs 6:18 - An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Proverbs 6:19 - A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Notice that not only are "hands that shed innocent blood" an abomination to YAHWEH,

but also "a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among the brethern."

These things come from the heart, and are a fruit of hatred.

The "righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees" condemns murderers, when those with hateful emotions are also guilty!

Yahushua continues...

Matthew 5:23 - Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Matthew 5:24 - Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Yahushua is emphasizing here the need to be at shalom with your brother before you try to please YAHWEH, otherwise it will be of no benefit...

1John 4:20 - If a man say, I love YHWH, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love YHWH whom he hath not seen?

1John 4:21 - And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth YHWH love his brother also.

We should be quick to make shalom when someone has something against us...

Matthew 5:25 - Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Matthew 5:26 - Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Paul likewise admonishes us to be at peace...

Romans 12:18 - If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith YHWH.

Romans 12:20 - Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Romans 12:21 - Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Praise YAHWEH for giving us the "truth" through Yahushua!!

I am so thankful that Abba has chosen us to understand these things!!

Moving on to Yahushua's next point in the law...

Matthew 5:27 - Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Matthew 5:28 - But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Job was aware of this precept!...

Job 31:1 - I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

Again, Yahushua is explaining how our righteouness is to exceed the righteous of the Scribes and the Pharisees.

This time it is concerning adultry in the heart.

Yahushua continues...

Matthew 5:29 - And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Gehenna.

Matthew 5:30 - And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Gehenna.

What did Yahushua mean here?

Are we to take him literally on this point?

Yahushua continues by going from adultery commited in one's heart, to defining adultery in the physical, and they are very much related one to the other, for you cannot commit adultery in the physical without first commiting it in your heart!

Matthew 5:31 - It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

Matthew 5:32 - But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Let's now turn to Matthew 19 for more on this subject...

As we begin reading, we must keep in mind that the "sin" that Yahushua is dealing with here is adultery commited in the heart and in the flesh...

Matthew 19:3 - The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Matthew 19:4 - And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

Matthew 19:5 - And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Matthew 19:6 - Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore YHWH hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Matthew 19:7 - They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

Matthew 19:8 - He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

Matthew 19:9 - And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

This dialogue between the Pharisees and Yahushua concerning divorce and remarriage stemmed from a controversy as to the interpretation of Deuteromony 24:1...

Deuteronomy 24:1 - When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

One opinion, that of Shannai, was that the saying "some uncleaness" meant: "marital unfaithfulness"...

while the other opinion, that of Hillel, was that the saying, "and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her" meant that a man could divorce his wife for "any reason whatsoever"

Yahushua defines the "true" law concerning divorce and remarriage.

In response to this, his disciples make a statement showing apparent disbelief to what Yahushua had just said...

Matthew 19:10 - His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

Yahushua replies with what I believe was even a more shocking statement!!

Matthew 19:11 - But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

Matthew 19:12 - For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Again, every commentary that I have ever read on this passage has assured the reader that one was not to take these words literally.

Is it possible that Yahushua was defining the severity of the situation?

Is it possible that Yahushua was being literal at this time?

The point that he made...for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Gehenna.

I pray that YAHWEH reveals to his people the true intent of these words!

Yahushua continues the sermon on the mount...

Matthew 5:33 - Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto YHWH thine oaths:

Matthew 5:34 - But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is YHWH's throne:

Matthew 5:35 - Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Matthew 5:36 - Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Matthew 5:37 - But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

The commandment that Yahushua was speaking of is found in Leviticus...

Leviticus 19:12 - And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim: I am YHWH.

Apparently, in the days of Yahushua's ministry, there was a big "misconception" being taught concerning swearing...

Matthew 23:16 - Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

Matthew 23:17 - Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

Matthew 23:18 - And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

Matthew 23:19 - Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

Matthew 23:20 - Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

Matthew 23:21 - And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

Matthew 23:22 - And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of YHWH, and by him that sitteth thereon.

So, the thing that Yahushua was teaching against was the "misconception" being taught by the spiritual leaders of that day.

The seriousness of swearing an oath and also vowing a vow (making a promise) is found in the Torah...

Numbers 30:2 - If a man vow a vow unto YHWH, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

I will say however, that Ya'acob (James) backs up the idea of not swearing at all...

James 5:12 - But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

That is very serious...that we fall not into comdemnation!

Please Father, have mercy on us, in Yahushua's name!!

Yahushua continues his sermon...

Matthew 5:38 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

This statement was taken from the Torah in Deuteronomy 19:21

But Yahushua qualifies this command as follows...

Matthew 5:39 - But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew 5:40 - And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

Matthew 5:41 - And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Matthew 5:42 - Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

It appears that Yahushua was dealing with the idea of using the word of YAHWEH to justify personal vengence, but we need to consider the following...

Leviticus 19:18 - Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am YHWH.

Proverbs 20:22 - Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on YHWH, and he shall save thee.

Proverbs 24:29 - Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Sha'ul also backs this idea up by refering to what is found in Deuteronomy 32:35

Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith YHWH.

Yahushua continues with his teaching, concerning the righteousness of the kingdom compared to the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees...

Matthew 5:43 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Matthew 5:44 - But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

This is actually an expasion of verse 39 concerning vengence

Sha'ul reinforces Yahushua's understanding of the Torah by quoting from the Proverbs...

Romans 12:20 - Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Romans 12:21 - Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Why did Yahushua say this?

Matthew 5:45 - That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Yahushua shows us that we need to be like our Father in heaven, by imitating the way that He is.

How is our heavenly Father?

As we have just seen in Matthew 5:45, that He makes the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

also...

Luke 6:35 - But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Luke 6:36 - Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Romans 5:8 - But YHWH commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, the Messiah died for us.

1John 4:10 - Herein is love, not that we loved YHWH, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1John 4:11 - Beloved, if YHWH so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

If we fail to follow this teaching, then Yahushua points out that we will be like those that are of the world...

Matthew 5:46 - For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Matthew 5:47 - And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Yahushua concludes this thought by giving us an admonision...

Matthew 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Yahushua shows us the way...we need to be wise and learn to follow his teachings.

And as it also says in the Torah...

Leviticus 19:1 - And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

Leviticus 19:2 - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I YHWH your Elohim am holy.

And the word holy comes from the Hebrew word Kodesh, and it means to be "set apart".

We are to seperate from the world, and seperated to YAHWEH by His righteousness.

Yahushua did not come to destroy the law or the prophets, but rather, he came to shine the light so that we can understand its true meaning.

HalleluYAH

Jozef-and-Lydia - This question is asked here by my son sitting next to me, and finds it somewhat difficult to understand
EliYah - Jozef/Lydia, I think I would let them take what they wanted
Gedalyah - I would protect my family to the death
YahismyEl - !search hour the theif
Talit - it is a very hard question
EliYah - Except the life of my family
sean_and_lisa - Yahweh did not protect His Son
Jozef-and-Lydia - What if someone breaks into your house at night and has a weapon?
Talit - the son was sent to Die and not to live
Yoel - How, also about the marters
TheWAYne - before honour there is humility
Angel - first of all, we should instantly pray to Yahshua for protection and quietly rebuke the demons in Yahshua's name and things should begin to clear up
Gedalyah - Jozeph, your reaction would be swift
Talit - humbly shoot the intruder
SonofYah1 - It says thou shalt not kill, it does not say thou shalt not be killed.
EliYah - The Torah sasy you can kill an intruder at night and be guiltless
sean_and_lisa - Yahshua is our example
EliYah - sasy - says
Angel - Yahweh said He would put fear on our enemies and they should flee
Gedalyah - and if they dont?
Gedalyah - run
Angel - then be like the serpent
YahismyEl - +luke 12 39
Gedalyah - slither
EliYah - Exodus 22:2 - If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
EliYah - Exodus 22:3 - If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Angel - and attack any way Yahshua leads you to
Talit - it is not giving glory to YHVH if we die a victim instead of a Martyer
sean_and_lisa - what do you mean EliYah
EliYah - KJ Exodus 22:2 "If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.
EliYah - NKJ Exodus 22:2 "If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.
melchi1 - Talit I agree
EliYah - 3 "If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
EliYah - 4 "If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.
Gedalyah - Praise Yahweh, lets pray for his peace
Jozef-and-Lydia - OK, what about self defence in broad daylight?
sean_and_lisa - + matt 5:39-40
YahismyEl - There 's your answer Jozef-Lydia
Gedalyah - whatever necessary
EliYah - The torah says one is guilty for bloodshed
Angel - there is nothing wrong in self defense
sean_and_lisa - there is the answer
TheWAYne - + Matthew 5:39 - But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
EliYah - if in broad daylight
Talit - hasatan comes to roob kill and destroy ... we defend ourselves from him
YahismyEl - protect your property
Jozef-and-Lydia - I am talking about bullets, not a smack on my face !]
sean_and_lisa - i'll live by matt 5:39
EliYah - Possibly because you can see if he is coming to steal or to murder
EliYah - Otherwise, you might not know
SonofYah1 - Do you think we need a sword when we have the mightest name in the universe?
Talit - violence as a last line
YahismyEl - If they have a gun and you do too then shoot at their legs.
Gedalyah - if hes coming to murder, pray Yahweh delivers you because now a days its easy to be killed
Angel - Yahshua said that the Jews will be like the lion in the end time and will defend their land and will fight.
Gedalyah - Yahweh will judge us mercifully
Angel - so, I guess if we act like the serpent with prayer, Yahshua will take care of the enemies and they will give in
YahismyEl - Rock salt in a shot gun does stop lliving things in their tracks.
Jozef-and-Lydia - I have no guns, and am not intending to get one either.
Gedalyah - They are arent they Angel
Gedalyah - Me either
YahismyEl - Then learn Karate.
YahismyEl - lol
Angel - Yahshua told me not to get any guns
Gedalyah - hate guns unless for hunting clean animals
Jozef-and-Lydia - It was just a hypothetical question, and I thank you for your answers.
SonofYah1 - Learn to use the name.
Gedalyah - :)
daSinga - Police and people who teach self-defense also will tell you that if you have a gun you are more likely to be shot than if you don't. And if you keep a gun in the house it's more likely going to end up killing someone innocent than a burgular.
Angel - do not fear anything Yahshua will take care of you if you carry Him in your lips all the time
sean_and_lisa - :)
YahismyEl - Other wise pray heartily and put your trust in Him for defense.
decrease - Does anyone solve this problem on Matthew 16:28? check out at
Jozef-and-Lydia - I have faith in Yahweh but I lock my car !
decrease - +matt 16 28
Yoel - That is wisdom
Angel - locking your car is avoiding temptation for the thief
EliYah - Many believe Yahushua was referring to the transfiguration a little while later
Gedalyah - Be wise then everthing will be fine
EliYah - 6 days later
EliYah - Matthew 17:1 - And after six days Yahushua taketh Kepha, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
EliYah - Matthew 17:2 - And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
DovSucar - Don't you think YHWH wants us to use some common sense such as locking a car but put your trust and faith in Him for protection?
Yoel - Yes of course!
DovSucar - Use common sense in all things, I mean.
Talit - Shalom have a blessed Shabbot
Gedalyah - I think so Dov Car
DovSucar - I do too
Kolayah - hi
Gedalyah - Sucar
Angel - yes, Yahshua said avoid temptation, so we must lock our cars!
Gedalyah - :)
DovSucar - That's okay
Yoel - Be as harmless as a dove and wise as a serpent
Yoel - Even the serpent wou
DovSucar - Yes, we are helping others avoid temptation by locking the car
Kolayah - hi
Angel - Kolayah, Hi!
Gedalyah - I dont always lock mine, I should though
sean_and_lisa - not realy, if they want your car, they will get it
Angel - also lock your houses!
DovSucar - Just like when I worked behind a cash register, we hid the larger bills underneath the cash holder in the drawer so people could not see the cash when the cash drawer came open to make change.
YahismyEl - If someone walks up to your child and slaps he or she across the face because they don't like their looks or color what would do?
DovSucar - To help with the temptation
Gedalyah - I do at night but if I am just runnin into the store real fast I usually dont
DovSucar - Locking the house doors is another thing too.
melchi1 - If you are living to please Yahweh, then you will likely not be presenting yourself as a target for physical attack
sean_and_lisa - stand in their place
Gedalyah - Id be angry Yahis
Angel - then, if you don't lock your car or houses you are tempting Satan to bring a trial on you
DovSucar - How about for Feast of Tabernacles? How many people locked their doors and windows before leaving?
DovSucar - we did.
Jozef-and-Lydia - If anyone slaps any of my children, I think I would go balistic ! sorry just instinct.
Angel - we do.
melchi1 - you would however be puttting yourself at risk, for the name of yahushua
Gedalyah - Yahweh brings trile I believe
Gedalyah - I did
TheWAYne - what can man steal in possetions if your treasure is stored in The Heavens HalluluYAH
Jozef-and-Lydia - I would not even have time to think, or contemplate.
DovSucar - I don't think by locking my doors/windows that I have less faith in YHWH for protection.
Gedalyah - Me either
YahismyEl - melchi1, i agree with you but you would be surprised.
melchi1 - Yes Wayne
Yoel - +1cor 10 11 12
Jozef-and-Lydia - We live in the world , even if we are not part of the world.
DovSucar - that's right Jozef/Lydia.
daSinga - Yes, but I think we'd be missed during meeting time LOL
YahismyEl - Jozeph-Lydia, i know what you mean sudden instinct would take over.
Angel - don't forget that Satan walks around seeing whom he may devour.
DovSucar - that's true.
EliYah - Hopefully, the Spirit of Yahweh would be the driving force
sean_and_lisa - Yahweh can control our instince
sean_and_lisa - instinct
