This one might give you a chuckle
OK So I'm not condoning or condemning the Harry Potter books. Granted the Author is a publicity hound. Whatever, But I have problems with books that talk how bad they are. These same people still celebrate the pagan holidays of Christmas and Easter. They still have no problem with Halloween. Whatever.
I just can't take them serious. They think that books like these are about getting people into witchcraft.
Well the word says "For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of YHVH, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king." 1 Samuel 15:23
Those who refuse to give up pagan holidays and call them holy are showing rebellion. The word says its the same as witchcraft. So they are worried that books like this will get kids into witchcraft.
They and their parents are on the same level with witchcraft. So what's more important. Not reading bad fantasy books or stopping unholy holidays(Christmas and Easter).
"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Matthew 7:5
"Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye." Luke 6:42
Also many of these proponents of alerting people to dangerous books are also guilty of much of what is Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 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 YHVH."
Most of those who appose such types of meterial Like Harry Potter are far more guilty of greater sins.
Matthew 5:17 "(17)Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (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. (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."
By the way Lent is going on...Need I say more?
Yah's Blessings and Shalom!

When Did The Faith Change?
I asked a trick question to those of you who know where I am going.
I am addressing the whole of when did "The Faith" change. It never changed a new religion was formed by usurpers.
The faith of The Torah has always been about Israel the Nation. So now as Netzarim we are doing the same; working to find Israel amongst the Nations. Messiah said it himself.
"These twelve Yeshua sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 10:5-7
"But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.Then Yeshua answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." Matthew 15:24-28
Both examples clearly state who Messiah came for. Again Messiah clearly state in two different places who he came for.
"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." Matthew 5:18 same in...
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10
Its very clear he came for what was lost...Israel. He state what was lost not who was lost.
Christianity came along with a leader called Simon The Magi as mention in Acts 8:9 "But there was a certain man, called Simon, which before time in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:"
He was the Peter who went to Rome. Kefa in Hebrew went else were never going to Rome. By the time of Constantine in 325 Nicean Accord clearly stated what was Christian. Constantine himself was never christian till his death bed.
Never in the Torah, the Haftorah, Psalms, or Bri Hadasha is there any mention of changing anything. 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."
In Nazarane Judism and as in any sect of Juadism we know what this phrase mentioned means. It uses Jewish Idioms. Let me give you an example.
Rabbi I have a question: says the student.
Yes what is it?: Rabbi
Well Rabbi I was reading this portion of the Torah and I think it means this....
The Rabbi thinks for a moment and he frowns on his student then he spoke: No student you have abolished or destroyed the Torah. That's a bad interpretation.
Well Rabbi what about this....: Student
Yes that is right student. Now you have fulfilled the Torah. That is a good interpretation.
This one example is why Christiana have trouble translating the Torah or any of the Bible. The don't know the culture or the language at all. So naturally they can get it wrong.
More to come on this.
Next Time: The Torah is the Faith!

Answers To How One Might Conduct Oneself In A Very Christian Environment.
Remember that in a world of Christians what better way to reach them then to know them. If you came from a church environment or church background it may have been Yahweh's will. You received knowledge of how to reach them. Many a good Nazarene Rabbi who knows the word will often still use the King James Bible to reach a Christian. This is so because most of them see it as still being the Authority regarding the Bible.
The fact that you see the world outside of Christianity is a Blessing. You were called out of Babylon. Still you may have been put there to learn what Christians think at the deepest level. I'm not saying go back to believing that. I am saying that if you know how they think and what the standard dogma is as well as them; then you can know the areas you need to be armed in. We don't deal with dogma just the word. Much in the way a true Statesman isn't really a politician.
Learn what you need to know to give an answer to all who ask. Most Christian today are as the woman at the well. Yeshua address the woman who had multiple men in her life, the one she was with wasn't even her husband. He was direct in his speech in John 4:22 “You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” (KJV) Here Yeshua was referring to the old ways of the replacement of the faith by the kings of Israel (the northern one - House of Israel) from years past. Messiah was making it clear where the real faith was.
“But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. Elohim [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24 hence it is a spiritual battle. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].” Ephesians 6:12 That's why a person may become angry when they can't combat the truth.
Your daily prayer should be that YHVH is leading you all in you ways. Psalms 37:23 “The steps of a [good] man are ordered by YHVH: and he delights in his way.”
Remember also what Proverbs 3 says starting with verse 1 “My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart: So shalt you find favor and good understanding in the sight of Elohim and man. Trust in YHVH with all Your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear YHVH, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:1-7
People may not agree with you but they will respect you when they realize that you have truth. Learning what you need to know will help in speaking the truth and looking back to where you came from can remind you of Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love YHVH, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose." None of us live in a bubble. The real world has so many people looking for truth. Let Scripture be the authority. "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of Elohim, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" 2nd Timothy 3:16
There is plenty of truth to learn. Learn the true way of the Netzer The Branch Messiah and his teachings Nazarene Judaism. You may know a lot already but there is so much to know. I myself constantly study to know more. "Study to show yourself approved unto Elohim, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2nd Timothy 2:15
Basically I would be as Rabbi Shual (Paul) told us to be. “But sanctify YHVH Elohim in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” I Peter 3:15
Love always, asking questions of a friend in stead of telling. Keep in mind its a spiritual battle you are fighting and YHVH is doing most of the fighting if you let him.
Here's a good example of a question to ask a christian to make them think. Let scripture do the talking. When was the sabbath established as Saturday? Most Christian's forget that it was establish in Genesis 2 "And on the seventh day Elohim ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which Elohim created and made." Genesis 2:2-3
That's just one example that most Christians don't realize is in the Torah(Bible). Messiah used this approach. what's good enough for him is certainly good enough for me!
