9But you should not be called “my great one”; for one is your Great One, and you are all brothers. 9 And you should not call yourselves ‘father’ on earth as do these, for one is your Father, who is in heaven. 10 And you should not be called ‘leaders’ as do these, for one is your Leader, the Mshikha. Do not consider anyone such as these as your father or your leader. 11 But he who is greatest among you, let him be to you as a minister. 12 For whoever exalts himself, will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself, will be exalted. (Yeshua Mshikha - Peshitta) - Matthew 23:9-12

I touched on this before but then I got into the Aramaic, and wow... check out the new meaning to this verse. I understand it so much more. To check out more check out - Standardversion.org

Law shaw not pass... [ Church Status as well.

Got some work going on on at my site (see right bar) and putting things together. Its not really worth much yet, but the mention. Not sure how I'll integrate my blogs in there, but I love the Blogger functionality and simplicity. It works well for me. Plus the feeding has been quite decent for my lack of posting.

Anyways I recently picked up an Aramaic -> English translation of the bible. Its so great, clear and precise more than I'd ever expect. In any case though much information points to the truths me and those who I believe are really following the right path have found! Praise YHWH! He'll bring you the truth if you ask.

Anyway a huge discrepancy and craziness that seems to not tie Jews and Christians were very clear when I read them in the Lamsa. This verse I am talking about seems to go very un-noticed. Yeshua from his own mouth saying that the law, is not 'old' like I hear out of most modern Christians. I've read it before and considered it, but not this clear!! Its obvious, says he repeats it for importance twice! Then if thats not enough he explains the reward. Read it, meditate and pray about it. YHWH Bless you Brothers and Sisters.

17 Do not suppose that I have come to weaken the law or the prophets; I have not come to weaken, but to fulfil.
18 For truly I say to you, Until heaven and earth pass away, not even a yoth(1) or a dash
shaw pass away from the law until all of it is fulfilled.
19 Whomever therefore tries to weaken even one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, he shaw be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but anyone who observes and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

History and the idols of "Christmas" - Jeremiah 10:1-5

To me "Christmas" is a really weird concept to me. Winter would not have been as it describes in the bible around Yeshua's birth.

Plus there are more oddities to the "Christmas" holiday I dislike.

It appears that the holiday was adjusted to the celebration of Apollo which was at the same time as well as coinciding with the Pagan holidays, so the Pagans "wouldn't disrupt. More traditions come from Saturnalia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia ) which I think is pretty insane. Only tradition I like about Christmas is the love.

Pretty crazy with all that in there, but looking into the Bible it looks like its been an issue for awhile;

1 Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says:
"Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the sky,
though the nations are terrified by them.

3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.

4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.

5 Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,
their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good."
Jeremiah 10:1-5

It fits very well as I see it. I surly was told in school that Christmas was basically the way of nations!! It also fits with the adorn it with silver and gold and fasten with a hammer and nails so it will not totter! Sounds like Christmas to me! This goes on about how the trees were idols then the trees, which fits with the for mentioned - Evergreens are a pagan sign that Apollo (the sun) will return! Now days some pagans seem to think the same, but its normally not. I would still attribute it to the material aspects of Christmas! The presents are what people are looking forward to! Yeshua is put on the back burner for an expectation of gifts and material goods! The whole "Remember the Reason for the Season" is good! Thought I think we need to examine it more, and push out the material and old customs, for they are worthless just as it says. Remember Jesus/Yeshua, remember thats what the "Christ" of Christmas is, I think the old ways of Apollo, and Saturnalia need to be rejected, but thats not easy! Least we can do is amplify love and sharing of our Lord and Savior!

God Bless and Happy Holidays!

Satan is a "Christian"

Wow... Never really noticed it before. I really need to catch up... Reading more in a book about it and looked at Scripture to find it true. I haven't really been real deep on spreading messages because I've been looking for the truth and don't want to lead people wrong... alot of "Christianity" today is a farce I beleive, there is too much hate and Judgement to start. I can attest though Jesus Christ - Yeshua Mshikha is THE TRUTH!

This is actually referring to Paul, but whom do you think made him oppose the Christians? Also looking into Satan he's out to get believers not those who are already lost, so its not that big of a revelation! Not really a note to attack people, but a reminder to study the world and watch for the deceptions!

1:1 PAUL, AN apostle--[special messenger appointed and commissioned and sent out] not from [any body of] men nor by {or} through any man, but by {and} through Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and God the Father, Who raised Him from among the dead--

1:2 And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

1:3 Grace {and} spiritual blessing be to you and [soul] peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah),

1:4 Who gave (yielded) Himself up [to atone] for our sins [and to save and sanctify us], in order to rescue {and} deliver us from this present wicked age {and} world order, in accordance with the will {and} purpose {and} plan of our God and Father--

1:5 To Him [be ascribed all] the glory through all the ages of the ages {and} the eternities of the eternities! Amen (so be it).

1:6 I am surprised {and} astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade {and} deserting Him Who invited {and} called you by the grace (unmerited favor) of Christ (the Messiah) [and that you are transferring your allegiance] to a different [even an opposition] gospel.

1:7 Not that there is [or could be] any other [genuine Gospel], but there are [obviously] some who are troubling {and} disturbing {and} bewildering you [with a different kind of teaching which they offer as a gospel] and want to pervert {and} distort the Gospel of Christ (the Messiah) [into something which it absolutely is not].

1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to {and} different from that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!

1:9 As we said before, so I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from {or} contrary to that which you received [from us], let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!

1:10 Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).

1:11 For I want you to know, brethren, that the Gospel which was proclaimed {and} made known by me is not man's gospel [a human invention, according to or patterned after any human standard].

1:12 For indeed I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through a [direct] revelation [given] by Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

1:13 You have heard of my earlier career {and} former manner of life in the Jewish religion (Judaism), how I persecuted {and} abused the church of God furiously {and} extensively, and [with fanatical zeal did my best] to make havoc of it {and} destroy it.

1:14 And [you have heard how] I outstripped many of the men of my own generation among the people of my race in [my advancement in study and observance of the laws of] Judaism, so extremely enthusiastic {and} zealous I was for the traditions of my ancestors.

1:15 But when He, Who had chosen {and} set me apart [even] before I was born and had called me by His grace (His undeserved favor and blessing), saw fit {and} was pleased

1:16 To reveal (unveil, disclose) His Son within me so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles (the non-Jewish world) as the glad tidings (Gospel), immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood [did not consult or counsel with any frail human being or communicate with anyone].

1:17 Nor did I [even] go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles (special messengers of Christ) before I was, but I went away {and} retired into Arabia, and afterward I came back again to Damascus.

1:18 Then three years later, I did go up to Jerusalem to become [personally] acquainted with Cephas (Peter), and remained with him for fifteen days.

1:19 But I did not see any of the other apostles (the special messengers of Christ) except James the brother of our Lord.

1:20 Now [note carefully what I am telling you, for it is the truth], I write this as if I were standing before the bar of God; I do not lie.

1:21 Then I went into the districts (countries, regions) of Syria and Cilicia.

1:22 And so far I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea (the country surrounding Jerusalem).

1:23 They were only hearing it said, He who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the very faith he once reviled {and} which he set out to ruin {and} tried with all his might to destroy.

1:24 And they glorified God [as the Author and Source of what had taken place] in me.
