Attend a local church or bible based fellowship

If you are Christian, should you make sure you are attending a local bible based church or fellowship?

The answer would need to come directly from the bible.  Here are some bible verses about "forsake":

Psa_71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Psa_89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Pro_9:6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Pro_28:4  They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Isa_41:17  When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

Isa_55:7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Heb_10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

*******

Notice how the elderly should not be forsaken by the Lord.  Notice how some people forsake his law (some church groups ignore God's laws entirely!).  Notice how people should forsake the foolish people to get understanding.  Notice how God himself provides for the poor and needy!  Notice how the wicked should forsake his way.  And lastly, notice that people should NOT forsake the assembling of ourselves together.

Ok.  So there are some things that people SHOULD forsake(wickedness, foolish people, people who ignore God's laws etc).  Some things people of faith should NOT forsake (the law, attending to needy people, assembling of ourselves together etc.).

All in all, as Christian, even if one's spouse is NOT a true or very righteous person, it is essential to abide by the rules of what to "forsake" and what not to "forsake."  Go ahead and look up more verses that apply to "forsake"


Now note, going to church and the church counts the "number" of heads in the congregation, does NOT mean that the church is a godly church.  You will need to KNOW God's laws and KNOW that the people within the church want to study scripture in order to determine if the fellowship is of God or not.

Here is an option and advice for fellowship:

New to Christian Faith

A fellowship group, that is godly, and that is within walking distance, or has a special transportation service is WONDERFUL, as it is difficult to move young children, and other individuals that have difficulty moving from place to place easily.

Poor govt' based healthcare provision: Immoral people are the problem

The condition of healthcare in the USA is not ruined by Jim and Sue who raise 5 children, give their children healthy meals each day and provide a basic safe home for their children.  They teach their children that the boys will be boys and the girls will be girls.  End of story because the bible is the good story.  In fact, it is the story of how men and women have had to suffer for such faith.

The condition of healthcare in the USA IS ruined by frivolous Jake who wants to be named as Kate for thousands of dollars in costs to change what God created.  He lived as a smoker, drank a lot and now expects the govt' to pay for his foolish choices.  Yet, when people mention that "natural herbal" remedies and other "free resources " from nature are available, he/she still insists on attention grabbing!

Furthermore, the govt' itself does nothing to stop a box of gloves from costing 50$ per patient when the patient is charged services.  Such folly in spending to make extra money creates more problems for the patient in the long run.

Thankfully, some doctors are wise enough to start up services that are more economical and practical to the patients, in such a way that they KNOW where their money is going and what is HAPPENING with the money.

Like I said, USA can be a wonderful nation, if people recognize the "frivolous" spending, and recognize that morality PREVENTS such frivolous needs.

I do believe in providing some govt' services or pay-as-you-go for the neediest people:  Children under 18 health-services for BASIC needs(no abortion services to cover up the pedophile), basic schooling for the children 8-13 so that reading and math can be sufficient for the work-load in English language(most people never read beyond 8th grade level on daily basis), elderly or veteran services for those 65 and older, major disability services so long as the faith/relationships of the person are respected.....

OT Law and NT Explanation - Nazarites

(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.)  CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW.  Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.


Nazarites

  1. That a Nazarite shall not drink wine, or anything mixed with wine which tastes like wine; and even if the wine or the mixture has turned sour, it is prohibited to him (Num. 6:3) (negative).
  2. That he shall not eat fresh grapes (Num. 6:3) (negative).
  3. That he shall not eat dried grapes (raisins) (Num. 6:3) (negative).
  4. That he shall not eat the kernels of the grapes (Num. 6:4) (negative).
  5. That he shall not eat of the skins of the grapes (Num. 6:4) (negative).
  6. That the Nazarite shall permit his hair to grow (Num. 6:5) (affirmative).
  7. That the Nazarite shall not cut his hair (Num. 6:5) (negative).
  8. That he shall not enter any covered structure where there is a dead body (Num. 6:6) (negative).
  9. That a Nazarite shall not defile himself for any dead person (by being in the presence of the corpse) (Num. 6:7) (negative).
  10. That the Nazarite shall shave his hair when he brings his offerings at the completion of the period of his Nazariteship, or within that period if he has become defiled (Num. 6:9) (affirmative).

(Num 6:3)  He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
(Num 6:4)  All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
(Num 6:5)  All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
(Num 6:6)  All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
(Num 6:7)  He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
(Num 6:9)  And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
(Act 22:8)  And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
(Act 24:5)  For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
(Act 26:9)  I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
(Joh 19:19)  And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
(Mat 2:23)  And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

ACCURATE! Qumran Calculation for the FIRST Passover and Entering PROMISED LAND

-1423, 9-29 This is the Stelarium image for this day that Israel would have entered the land of Israel.  Assuming that Israel entered the land during the Qumran calendar time for the Day of Atonement (calendar cycle 1 when moon is New Moon).  This WOULD make sense as the moon is at the bottom of the Virgin's feet!  This is like the Revelation 12 sign, where Venus, Mars and Mercury crown the Virgin's head and she gives birth to Jupiter.....  This is the year that Jupiter is positioned in Virgo.  Other planet locations: Mars-Virgo, Venus-Libra, Mercury-by the sun -Virgo, Saturn-Aquarius



http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/lds/meridian/2003/exodus.html

Thu 9 Apr 1462 BC is given as the first passover according to the website above (which has quite a bit of accuracy, but fails to match certain key elements of the bible history and stories).

  However, assuming that the sun was darkened during the passover when Jesus was on the cross would require a NEW MOON, a miraculous solar-eclipse.  So I refer to the Qumran calendar.  As a result the first Passover evening was AT sunset!  Look how the "NEW MOON" is right near the sun and the Israelites are required to eat Passover lamb AT sunset! This image is looking west.  The date in the Stelarium image is -1462, 4-16.  Note: The moon and sun are positioned CLOSE to the seven sister's constellation (Pleiades.....mentioned in scripture).  Hence representing the "sevens" of God's creation......seven days!....... [During the possible time for Jesus birth year (2 BC) and during the time for the beginning of Jesus ministry AD 27......the planet SATURN (representing eternal covenant) is positioned in the constellation Taurus.]


The position of the planets are in the following locations: Mercury - Aires (represents the lamb of God sacrificed......symbolic several times using Qumran calendar calculations----Feast of Dedication (conception), Circumcision of Jesus...full moon, Beginning of ministry AD 27 at end of Feast of Tasbernacles---8 days earlier moon is by Jupiter in AD 27) Venus - Gemini (perhaps this represents Ephraim and Manasseh as Joseph was in Egypt), Jupiter - Gemini (King planet JUPITER is in EGYPT representing the freedom from Egypt) , Saturn - Libra (a few days later the Ten Commandments are given to the Israelites for the first time!)...... seven days later the moon is positioned below Leo - Judah constellation (Feast of Unleavened Bread)





Night of First Passover

2 Days after the Night of the First Passover (Sighted moon and near the King Planet Jupiter).  Moon located on Orion.  Perhaps this is reason why the Modern Jewish Calendar often refers to the slighted moon.....because they know in their spirit something significant happens (happened) at that time.

Notice 39 years later (13 calendar rotation cycles) Israel entered the promised land and then (29*49) 29 Jubilees later, the birth of the KING of KINGS.


ALL IN ALL THE PATTERN IN THE HEAVENS SHOWS THE GLORY OF GOD the FATHER COMING DOWN TO EARTH TO GIVE GLORY TO HIS SON!



**************


Just for Fun......and how God created the different languages and cultures.....the Ojibwe people would have seen this in the heavens when Jesus began "Teaching."  Notice that SATURN has a 30 year rotation cycle and the beginning of his work in "teaching" was at the age of about 30 years OLD ;).  In BC 2...... Saturn is LOCATED in nearly the SAME position!  GOD IS WISE!

Does -feminism- lead to neglect of children?

*This article is not edited for the grammar queen, as being a "strong woman" doesn't always require such keen grammerly skills*  Yes.  The women of the generation before us (well some of the women were wise in the generation before us, some were not so wise) were not taught to raise "Children" but were forced to live off of day-cares, public schools, endless activities that promote -self,-  dance-club routines which encourage young girls to be dancers rather than givers, angry women who do not know how to control their temper, women who do not model scripture (wise woman vs. foolish of proverb 14) so on and so forth.  Endless attention to getting a "degree" but no knowledge of how to apply the bible to one's life in a very real way, is a form of feminism.  Anger at men, whether the men are of the same nationality, culture and heritage or not, produces an angry women who is mad at "men" and figures not that her own temper causes her to be ignorant of the true meaning for her life......

Some cases of neglect can be so severe that women would rather go "clubbing" than attend to her children's crys every single weekend.  A foolish grandmother would allow this behavior to continue.  Other cases of neglect can be life-threatening as the mother fails to attend to basic needs (food, shelter, clothing, attention) which leads to mortality.

Essentially, by abortion practices, and angry women practices, women have abandoned their true calling to be "strong women."  The women don't have to be ignorant of tribal values or anything like that, just the general act of "forcing" a rejection on the spirit of being human and raising children seems as a crime by enhanced feminism behavior.

By historical perspective, children were OFTEN neglected more by the "wild woman" parents and sometimes by the "single mother" parents, than there were neglected by women who were aware of her condition to control her self.  Orphanages were filled with neglected children.  Occasionally the children were put into orphanages historically because mothers and father were ill, injured and other things where no other family member or community members could care for the child.  Historically, some children were called "adults" by the time they were 13 or even 14 years of age!  This doesn't mean that people in the past who still believed in "woman as helpmete" were dull or dumb in their thinking.  In fact, today, we may be no better than the people of the past, as abortion is chosen by parents who created a child and didn't want it, simply because adoption options are SOOO expensive and so many regulations and laws keep good godly parents from adoption. In the past, they could have easily had access to such options in the past by simply stating that they have farm land and a place for the child to roam.

****

On the other hand -feminism- IF it is grounded in WOMAN's RIGHTS according to the bible and according to the bible alone, does NOT lead to neglect of children.  Women of the bible like "Tamar" or "Dinah" who were once victims, know that their strength comes from the LORD and choose not to cave into the bad behaviors of men.  They choose to REMAIN in the position to be a mother(the stories do not imply this directly, but it doesn't discredit motherhood) and choose to keep their dignity alive despite the false accuser.

To strengthen one's dignity, simply learn how to keep one's own HOME in better condition, learn how to LOVE one's OWN husband better, learn how to keep a JOY in one's own spirit.  Try such ministry websites like: www.aboverubies.org

Yes, there will be trials in life, but to cave into the "negative aspects" of fearful feminism, is to say......Dear, Lord, I don't trust you........yet.

What should you seek first?

Seek ye first the KINGDOM of God! "Mat_6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

If the life of Jesus is not yet embedded into your heart, all the other parts of your life and the confusions of this world will not fit together.

Even the conditions of nature will NOT work together correctly unless God is FIRST in your life.

A way to grasp this understanding is by trusting in the Holy Bible.  Believe in the pages, the stories, the ways of overcoming evils in our life.

Meditation on scripture helps this process a lot.

Yes, the bible is for people of ANY political choice!  However, there are political behaviors that are not good (sexual impurity, angry man or woman, greed, not being wise and allowing wicked to rule or come into one's home etc).

Other things, like gardening, fellowship, companions, news stories, sewing, fixing things, cooking, and so forth will become more enjoyable and approachable if God is FIRST in your life.


Try a good reading plan and stick with it.  Incorporate the bible reading practice into the education plans for your children.  Here are possible options:

Heavenly signs during Jesus Birth? Qumran Calendar!

Where in the bible feasts is there required an "eighth day"? Answer: Lev_23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. (Feast of Tabernacles)
Hence this is written in the scripture the time for Jesus to be be born and circumcised. This is the ONLY FEAST in which the "eighth day" has written instructions. Men are not to add to, or take away from the scripture or else they are wrong astronomically and scripture wise.

The event of the full moon located on aires after the Fall-Equinox is a once and non-repeatable condition because the stars shift as earth moves through the galaxy.  (This particular event is calculated via. Qumran calendar)

Stop hating people who have "talent" in our society.

Maybe they think about things differently than you.

Maybe they do things in a way that surprises you in their understanding of the bible.

Maybe they know things from a Jewish or Middle East perspective.

Maybe they know things from a Indigenous perspective.

Maybe they know things from an Asian perspective.

Maybe they are of ancestry of the first settlers in the USA.

People bring their "knowledge" and talent from different angles.

By unfriending, blocking, avoiding engaging in conversation with such people, YOU are the problem for YOUR Jealousy!

If you are considering your self as a Christian, but you do not like to hear the TRUTH that many people who called themselves "Christian" falsely converted, created mass genocide conditions, raped various cultures, enslaved various cultures etc etc.......then the problem is NOT with their talent and WISDOM!  The problem is with YOU and how you DEAL with such human tragedies!

Perhaps you don't like the research they did about "marriage" in the past (perhaps it was a little more polyamourous than people realize) or the wicked conditions of NERO.

Perhaps you don't like the idea that ABORTION is MURDER especially if the child was a fit child or had that potential (aka. the child could have survived past 8 days after birth).

Perhaps you don't like the idea of full-water baptism, study scripture daily, worship on Sabbath Day's, women as helpmete, praying for the sick for supernatural healing or other things that you in your religion do not practice......

Perhaps they just happen to eat the wrong apple pie, because ONLY YOUR grandmother bakes it the right way and SAYS it the right way (aka. you don't even know indigenous languages YET).

Whatever the case may be......

The problem is with YOU and YOUR condition before the HEAVENLY condition and the condition of your HEART!

Their talent may be in music, natural medicine, education, writing, self-sustainability, astronomy, basket weaving etc etc.  The creator offers wisdom if people listen.

It is EASY to love the talent-less people in our society.  The bums who say nothing but.....well nothing.  It is easy to love those with a 5th grade education, because they really can't explain the deep inner details of how a machine works.  Their faith may be there (as a bible is written at a fifth grade level), but the STRENGTH of the LORD is given to ALL people who repent!  Even to PAUL (a talented educated man).

It is HARD to love the talented people.......because people have jealousy problems.  Do the HARD thing.

You never know.....your behavior on-line or off-line could be held accountable before the king of kings.  It may even be held accountable before your next job interview?  Maybe your future spouse wants to see how you interact with the disabled Asperger syndrome people who post a lot of "tough to think about bible verses."  Would you react with "they are nuts" or "they are gifted."  Maybe that church you love to attend may ignore you when you would like to participate in something super special, but your online interactions show that you refuse to be friends with the "out casts."  Maybe that friend who was looking for wisdom from you, may ignore you after she finds out you often unfriend or block people who share bible wisdom.  That job you want to apply for, which includes working with a lot of disabled people and socially unusual situations, will not hire you because you often unfriend or block people who come from poor, foreign, minority, orphan or other similar back grounds.  Think about that for a bit.  (You do NOT have to tell your employer that you have a Facebook account or other online accounts, however, there MAY be people who are LOOKING up YOUR records and BEHAVIOR.)

(The only time I can say not to concern one's self with talented people is if they are encouraging your heart to hate what is good (God's laws are GOOD).....what ever that may be.......God's Judgement is going to be for those who call evil.....good and good.....evil.  Do not even try to work with the "wicked" of this world, even if everyone calls them talented.)

Furthermore, you blocking their light, even if that person who is talented has 1 or more disabilities, is to deny that person a VOICE to speak.  If you won't even listen to them, how do you think God reacts to you when you become disabled and need a voice?

Jesus had the ULTIMATE TALENT!  He had the gift of death on the cross, and raising after three days!

******************************

2Pe 3:3-5  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  (4)  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.  (5)  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Should Christians stand with "#metoo" hashtag

The answer is YES!

Or else that "Christian" simply has NOT read the bible!

Review the story of TAMAR!  Or what about the story of DINAH!

What types of things caused her to get into the thing that happened to her?  Would she have possibly known anything could have happened?

Read the problem with the "false accuser of the brethren."  I believe the "false accuser" was heavy handed in far-left sexuality propaganda.  A pusher to promote child-marriage.  A pusher for promotion of sex-trafficking.  A pusher for promotion of pornography production.  A pusher for promotion of breaking apart a marriage.  A pusher to promote false religions rather than biblical self-less Christianity.  A fornicator if you will.......  the list goes on.  All in all, the man (and sometimes woman) promote using a woman's body for pleasure for THEMSELVES rather than the concept that the body is a temple meant for serving the redeemer.


Do review the book Yell and Tell: https://nogreaterjoy.org/shop/bke-samuel-yell-and-tell-book and https://nogreaterjoy.org/shop/bke-sara-sue-yell-and-tell-book

Furthermore boys and young men can ALSO be victims of the evils in men's hearts in these wicked last days!

*******


The answer can also be NO.

Review the story of Joseph.  Yes, even today MEN in our workplaces are falsely accused of doing wicked things to women when they are not even PRESENT!  EVIL gets into the hearts of some women who come up with lies about others simply because they do not like the "MAN" who they do not like.  With whom they have to associate.  With whom their nationality or race is not liked.

Modesty, particularly behavior, IS a perk to keep different types of offensive men away.  Bible study helps women to stop playing the role of "Potiphar" and false-accusing men.


The saddest thing about this hashtag is that "Christians" who have been calling themselves Christian for so long have been Hammering and Disowning "bible based/conservative" Christians who have been speaking about this problem for a number of YEARS!  Only once Hollywood shows its "colors" do they start to acknowledge such behavior.  SHAME on their belief that Conservative biblical values ignore these issues!

***************
Consider:

Romans 3:10–18

10 As it is written, sThere is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together tbecome unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 uTheir throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; xthe poison of asps is under their lips: 14 yWhose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 zaTheir feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 bThere is no fear of God before their eyes.

Building a temporary dwelling place "FEast of Tabernacles" "wigwam" etc.

Supplies:

1. A good heart.

2. Four corners for your dwelling that are sturdy.  Four pillars.  Try strong sturdy fence posts.  Make some sturdy fence posts out of fallen trees.

3. Natural woven items.  Cat-tail, grasses, big leaves, etc.

4. Ropes and or cat-tail cordage.....

5. Other things: Clothes pins, wires, tarps, rugs, blankets etc etc.

6. You may use this dwelling during the time of "Feast of Tabernacles."  It doesn't even cost as much as a camper!  It doesn't take up a lot of space because fence posts are so thin and can be hidden under a tree!  You may use this dwelling year round!  You may use this dwelling to go camping!  You may use this dwelling to raise some small farm animals!

7. Add in house-like things to eat and celebrate as food, family and fellowship with the tribe year round out-doors is a gift!  Practice living Off of the Grid!

8. A perfect time to build such a dwelling is in the FALL as many people need proper shelter in the winter storm weather.  (God's word is so good for humanity)

Creator Redeemer DOES provide!  ALL THE TIME!

We are all pilgrims on this earth!  Be Humble!

OT and New Testament explanation -Lepers/ Leprosy & The King

(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.)  CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW.  Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.


Lepers and Leprosy

  1. Not to drove off the hair of the scall (Lev. 13:33) (negative).

  7. That the King shall write a scroll of the Torah for himself, in addition to the one that every person should write, so that he writes two scrolls (Deut. 17:18) (affirmative). See Torah.
(Lev 13:33)  He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
(Lev 14:1)  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
(Lev 14:2)  This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
(Lev 14:3)  And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
(Lev 14:4)  Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
(Lev 14:5)  And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
(Lev 14:6)  As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
(Lev 14:7)  And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
(Lev 14:9)  But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
(Deu 24:8)  Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
(Mat 10:8)  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
(Mat 11:5)  The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
(Exo 22:27)  For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
(Deu 17:15)  Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
(Deu 17:16)  But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
(Deu 17:17)  Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
(Deu 17:18)  And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
(Mat 4:23)  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
(Mat 5:35)  Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
(Mat 6:33)  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
(Mat 10:7)  And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(Mat 11:11)  Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
(Col 1:13)  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
(Rev 1:6)  And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
(Rev 6:15)  And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(Rev 11:15)  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
(Rev 12:10)  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

I don't do "Hebrew roots" faith, but I do.....

Pay attention to the time of Holy Days in the bible.

Pay attention to events in Israel and events that happen to the Jewish people.

Believe that Jesus/Yeshua is Messiah and saves all men Jewish and Gentile from sin.

Speak and learn things in Hebrew Language as necessary.

Observe heavenly signs (Qumran Calendar Style) as they apply to the bible and not against the bible!  Sometimes this is similar to modern day Jewish Calendar and sometimes this is not similar to the modern day Jewish Calendar.  Often the timing is within two to three weeks (because the heavenly sign is "full moon" not sliver of a moon).

Learn about the connections between Old Testament and New Testament events.  "Song of Moses" mentioned in Revelation for example, connects events from Old and New Testament.

Dress modestly and behave modestly by repentance before Jesus.

Over all, I do believe a person should "repent" (stop breaking God's laws), trust that JEsus/Yeshua was sacrifice for us and be "born again" and seek God in their future and for their future generations!

I don't believe that "outward appearances" "circumcision" etc. are signs of being redeemed.


Yes!  Do pray for others as Jesus said!  Yes, continue the faith of the Fathers! (incorporate Jewish wisdom as needed to enhance faith!)  LOVE the BRETHREN!

a possible way to look at faith is from a "seventh day adventist" point of view, an "anabaptist" point of view or a "messianic" point of view.......

Overall, the heart needs to feed on his love!

What IS the star the wise men saw FROM the EAST?


It is a star that did NOT appear on the day of Jesus birth! Link here which explains WHY the star was not visible at the time of his birth!  The picture is an image 0-8-20 (stelarium time) which is equivalent to 5-20/21 in the Third Cycle of the Qumran Calendar (assuming that Jesus birth occurred on the first Cycle of the Qumran Calendar)  

NOTE: The moon is at a "sliver" of a moon in the image.....immediately after the New Moon


(This video comes up with the SAME time and things to look for in this sign but does NOT explain that the sign the wise men saw was AFTER the birth of JESUS by within two years.....the video also believes in the time of the Jesus death as a time that wouldn't match scripture (darkness from 6th hour to 9th hour)......)

"And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
(Mat 2:11)" (Jesus was a YOUNG CHILD, not a babe)
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
(Mat 2:16)*****This shows us that the sign the wisemen saw was within the time when Jesus was two years old*****


There is a 55 day difference between the sign of his birth and the sign the wise-men saw if one wants to find his actual "birth-day."  God didn't give the sign in the heavens to "men" on his birthday for various reasons, but he DID provide the sign for his Circumcision (time when full-moon located below the RAM.....after the Feast of Tabernacles....which only the Jewish tribe would know about Tabernacles.....)

****NOTE: Some of these calculations may be a little "off" and not quite on target (but I believe more accurate than other calculations), so this is for observational understanding, not for Religion and the Traditions understanding.  PLEASE be respectful of difference in people's religion.  Knowing these details does not "save" a person from sin, it simply points to the reality that scripture is truth.


NOTE2: Notice this image below.  This is what people in the FAR-FAR east (indigenous people of Americas - Ojibwe etc.) would have seen when the "star the wise men saw" was visible!  They would have BARELY seen this star!  Their understanding of astronomy was different than the "Western Astronomy" as well!  Yes, Hero Teacher pointed to the star, but it was so invisible, and the slivered moon was barely visible, one really couldn't TRAVEL in a decent amount of time to see the King of Kings!  This should be a reminder why "religious" values should be "close to home" and "close to the heart"!

What is Holy Marriage?


1. Institutionalizing something does not make it Holy.  Do research about "forced" one-man/one-woman marriages in history.  Ahab and Jezebel were in a one-man/one-woman marriage in the bible but they were a wicked couple.

2. If Jesus is in your marriage/relationships then you would have to understand that Jesus loved two women and Lazarus too.  All without breaking "Torah."

3. If Jesus is in your marriage/relationships you would have to understand that he confronted the unbelief in Capernea....it was worse than Sodom and Gommorah.

4. Some people love Jesus more than their spouse.  And that doesn't mean the marriage needs to suffer or end.

5. Some people love other people more than their spouse.  And that doesn't mean the marriage needs to suffer or end. (aka. many infidelity problems are resolved by choosing to allow their spouse FREEDOM in understanding of love.  Some people do get away from institutionalization and into things like polygyny.  or some spouses are not aware of injustice outside of the marriage which needs to be resolved.)

6. Marriage is not a place to solve "sin issues."  It can reveal the issues.  It can bring to light the things of humanity dark past. (ie. racism issues, domestic violence issues, addictions etc.)

7. Christianity is more than marriage conditions and status.  It is willingness to go the extra mile.

8. Children are better off following JEsus as a whole than following their parents marriage/relationship status and beliefs.  His character and example serve the child better than parental confusions.

9. A covenant marriage means that separation could occur if there are hidden issues in the heart of one of the spouse.  The grace and goodness of God are what brings separated spouses back together, not the "laws" and regulations of the world-system.

10.  Meditation on the scripture WILL help make your marriage HOLY.  Not the other way around (forcing the relationship while ignoring the scripture).  It will help make the possibility for other marriages to succeed if your current spouse dies.

11. Children don't need to suffer your anger if you are living in a strained relationship.  They are not the ones who need to solve relationship problems that you have.

In summary: A Holy Marriage is willingness to OBEY the WORD in regards to Marriage.  TRUST and FAITH are key elements and fruits because of this determination.

Money for food? From Facebook friends?

Money for food? From Facebook friends?
a. I believe in doing research and consider storing up knowledge and storing the wild-edible foods in one's local area. (dandelions are edible. Warmer climates that are not covered in desert, have abundance of wild foods year round.)
b. Check to see if there is a local pantry in your local area. If there is not, do get one started.
c. If I see many fancy cars, drugs, alcohol, swimming pools, fancy watches and nice clothes in your photos, I cannot send you money for food. Especially if you are in the photo.
d. I give priority to people of similar faith beliefs first for assistance (there are very few in this world who share common faith to that of my own).
e. I believe in being wise and doing labor of gardening, storing up dry foods etc.
f. Three days of fasting is not an evil thing. Followers of Jesus fasted three days.
g. I give priority for financial assistance for those who are persecuted for their faith/ideas/understandings etc. to those who are never persecuted.
h. I am not a "wealthy american" and live a more simple life, so I really wouldn't make a "big" impact on your needs unless you can point me to a specific organization that would allow honest and safe financial assistance.
i. I will never give money whom I suspect "sex trafficking" or "sexual assault possibility" or "Sex related terrorism practices." If you have asked me to marry you, and then later ask for money, then I know something is not right in your heart.

Four Bad things for Humanity.

Why don't seminary resources talk about these issues and refer to bible for the solution or individual wisdom?  I don't know particularly except that many could actually refer to the seminary as the Theological Cemetery. 



Four bad things that happen to humanity:
1. Sword = Genocide against the innocent, terrorism, no access to protect one's self from violent men etc.
2. Famine = People don't have access to good quality food or have no wisdom in what foods on this earth are edible, corrupt govt's (Concentration camps ie. racism problems are the WORST place for humanity when it comes to issues of access to food)
3. Wild Beasts = anything wild that could destroy a man. Perhaps it is actually a lion. Perhaps it is a wild heard of horses that stampeed someone. Perhaps it could even be a "machine" that malfunctioned (vehicle and transportation-related injuries)
4. Pestilence = anything that creates disease. Anything that indicates that man needs to be dependent on "men" for healthcare issues rather than true wisdom in herbal and supernatural remedy. Lack of cleanliness creates much disease. This could even come from STD problems or maternity ward problems! Sexual impurity leads to earlier death.
Name one group of people that has not had to deal with these issues on this earth. There is not ONE.

When was Jesus/Yeshua born according to the Qumran Calendar calculation?

Answer:

Here is the link to a graphical representation of the Qumran Calendar 

By Messianic understanding, JEsus/Yeshua was DEFINITELY born during the time of the FEAST OF TABERNACLES.  The "circumcision" on the eighth day has something to do with what happens in traditions in Jewish celebrations at the end of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).  "Luk_1:59  And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father." (points to John's circumcision on eighth day.....)"Luk 2:21  And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. " (This is the verse that mentions....he was circumcised on eighth day)

It would depend upon which Cycle year you determine is the year that he was born.  I'm not going to get into explaining what "Year" that could have been in this blog post.  Some use understanding of the planet movements to determine the year.  Others use the "Book of Daniel" to determine the year.  All in all many have concluded that his ministry began in AD 27.......seventy weeks. Notice the verse doesn't say he was EXACTLY 30 years of age.....only ABOUT 30 years of age.  "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, (Luk 3:23)"

Jesus also would have began his ministry in the "Fall Feasts" (information not in this blog post, just recall)

Rules:

The day of Atonement is ALWAYS on the 6th day of the week in the Qumran Calendar.

The fall feasts ALWAYS follow the fall equinox and are NEVER before the fall equinox in the Qumran Calendar.

Possibilities.

Cycle 1 =  After the first "new moon" that follows the fall equinox.  The day of atonement IS on a "new moon" in cycle 1.

Cycle 2 = After the "new moon" that lands ON the day of the fall equinox.  The Feast of Trumpets is the day after the "new moon" that falls on the fall equinox.

Cycle 3 = After the first "full moon" that follows the fall equinox.  The first "full moon" is the week when the Day of Atonement is celebrated in the Qumran Calendar.


AKA.  To find the "signs" of his first coming, they used "heavenly signs".......and the traditions to drive the understanding that he "tabernacle with men".  The signs of his second coming are in various things as indicated in the entire New Testament......which reflects back to the Torah commands.


A good guess may be that he was born 10-14- (2 BC/-2) as this would align with the reality that he died on the cross in AD 31 (stelarium contains the year 0) .  (Do remember that the bible says he was ABOUT 30 years of age when he began his ministry, not EXACTLY 30 years of age......age of kings are mentioned frequently in the Old Testment).   On the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles and the moon is directly located in the constellation Sagittarius at 25%  and eight days later (time of his circumcision) the moon is located at a FULL MOON directly below the ram(symbolizing lamb of God).  *Stellarium signs = Mars at Aquarius, Jupiter at Leo (King of Kings was from Tribe of Judah-Leo), Saturn at Taurus, Mercury at Ophiucus, Venus at Libra and is COVERED by the sun (so the star the wise men saw was not visible AT his birth but was within the time when Jesus was 2 years old!)
*****NOTICE how ALL seven heavenly SIGNS are included, representing the MENORAH-sun-moon-five planets*****
******
A clear image of the King planet meeting the Heart of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, announces the coming of the messiah......image below.  The image is 9-13-(2 BC) another possibility for the time of Jesus birth by the 1st calendar cycle.  On this given date, the full moon is found below the "ram" on the week of the circumcision, not on the exact day.



(This website indicates a slightly different date for JEsus birth....but it still follows the pattern of possibility for conditions for birth to be centered between spring feasts and fall feasts (John the Baptist was 6 months ahead of Jesus....http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/lds/meridian/2004/jubilee.html )

The "wise men" may have looked for the signs in the heavens by observing the location of Jupiter.  They would look for Jupiter to pass through Virgo (give birth).  Three years after Jesus birth this occurred.  Venus-Mercury-Mars-Jupiter were located at Libra on date 1-11-4.  These are the same "planets" of Revelation 12.

This video seems to coordinate with the signs in the heavens similar to the events of 10-22 - (2 BC) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjXIAUbU9es  (The dates do NOT match the Qumran calendar dates....but the understanding of how to come up with "time" is similar by understanding movements of planets and location of what to look for from the "wise men" perspective.)  Here is more "clues" about time of his birth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKmNu-Vhn94

Some say he could have been born in the spring, because "lambs" are born in the Spring even around Bethlehem as Shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks (meaning they would watch the sheep go through lambing season) and the year old lamb was selected for the Sacrifice......  But other evidence supports timing of priestly service......and the reality that the time of "Elijah's birth/John the Baptist" was in the Spring, but Jesus/Yeshua's birth was in Fall.....There was a six month gap between the births (And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
(Luk 1:36)
)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54DX5D5IMYE



****************

Side note:  The day of Jesus conception would have been during the festival of Lights (Haanackah-often misspelled).  Using Stellarium,  the moon is one week after New Moon in Cycle 3 of Qumran Calendar.....so find the "new moon" before winter-solstice (location at Sagitarus).  The Moon is located BELOW THE RAM at that time of the festival of lights!  And it DOES happen to be on Dec. 25 in -3 (2 BC).  To this day, Hhanackah is sometimes celebrated at the same time as  Christmas!

Furthermore as highlight for the scripture, the planet Saturn is located in the constellation Taurus, so that should indicate that Jesus was thirty years old at the beginning of his ministry.  Saturn takes 30 years to rotate the sun.  30 years later in the time of the "Feast of Dedication" Saturn is located in Taurus again.


*******  >>>  Note: That the Son of God did not come so that people would continue to remember his "birthday" or to continually look to the stars as a guide in their life.  NO WAY!  He came so that people would stop sinning and repent of their sins, so that they could be with him in heaven!

I too would be a Holocaust survival story.....

But my ancestors pretty much left Europe before WW1 and became "American citizens."  I didn't know about Native Americans (except that they were a little wild) and how they were treated so severely until I was an adult and did research and experienced this and that.  Red-Man was often treated as if he should behave like white man and join in the consumerist commercialism value systems, rather than just trust creator.

However, if I would have lived in Europe when I was in my teens to early 20's and lived during the era of Nazi Germany, I would have been a "throw away."  I have German ancestry and mostly European ancestry, maybe some other ancestry that has some sort of darker skin.  But the issue would be my "nature" and "behavior."  I was considered at one time to have bipolar or to be of that type of personality (though the people diagnosing me really didn't think I truly had it.....it was just a phase in my life). [Beware that to falsely accuse someone of having something or doing something is a CRIME.  DEFAMING someone's character based on medical conditions or non-medical conditions is CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR on their part.....not on victim's part]  But due to understanding of natural therapy, I haven't had issues with anger OR depression episodes.  I have had issues with post-partum depression which was resolved by natural therapy.  So for the past 10 years I have been "free" of that.  BUT it was only because of my understanding of the bible that I got out of that "phase" in my life.  If you or a friend wants to know how to eliminate the "Bondage" of the mental illness you will have to talk to me privately.  I will not speak about this issue "in public" because big-pharma wants......MONEY.  There are also people who HATE the idea that the bible can cure big issues in a person's personal life.

So would I have been eliminated because the Nazi's hated the extra creative people (the manic depressive behaving ones)?  Perhaps even the funny people who were in the LGBT category?  What about the Gypsies?  The other types of disabled people? The priests? NO!!  The Nazi did not at first initially hate the "unusual ones" in the communities and towns.  THEY hated based on RACE!

The answer about why I would have been "eliminated" is because the NAZI hated the JEWS!~!  Some Jewish people are creative, like myself.  Some Jewish people are conservative in their understanding of the scripture.  Some Jewish people are liberal in their interpretation of how to tow the line for the person in need.  Nothing political from the beginning, in either right-wing beliefs or left-wing beliefs.  It was simply put, a hatred of the GOSPEL equaled a hatred of Jewish nationality people.

The stories of the Holocaust are horrible.  Institutional values were placed as priority to human compassion.  The Nazi could have cared less about you as a person and your medical conditions.  They simply wanted to eliminate the Jewish people!  So when ever you hear about someone claiming that the "Christians" killed so many people in Nazi Germany, Jewish and otherwise,  you can rightfully say, "No, the Christians did NOT kill the Jewish people.  NAZI's killed the Jewish people and other people who were not fit for their version of a -perfect society.-"  Christians SHOULD know the scripture.  Else they are NOT Christian, but a false version of Christian-like behavior.  They should know that JESUS was a friend to Jewish people.......so why would a "Christ-like" person dislike such and such person of such and such nationality.  The Nazi did not pick up "bible" and read it regularly and consider his inner desires to hate (Cain and Able issues), which could be eliminated by repentance.  Such repentance leads to compassionate unconditional love for humanity.  He or she simply did not consider it.  HE did not want to know his CREATOR who is merciful and compassionate.

So my survival is because the Jewish people are given a chance to live, even in this yucky lust driven world.  Jesus says to love unconditionally, even people of your own heritage AND people of different heritage.  So the initial hatred was RACE based.  (which would be opposition to culture differences and understandings as well).  It is not based on God's ability to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (the Nazi's eliminated people who were sodomites so to speak).  It was based on hatred of a tribe, a tongue, a culture etc.


Where did these ideas to hate the "Jewish" people come from.  If a person is wise and knows this history thing about WW1 then the person knows about Islamic ideologies and how those ideas spread........into literal "enjoyment" of recreating the episode where Cain murdered ABle......into WWII and via terrorism.  Evil in the HEART is where EVIL brews.  Meditation on Scripture (Holy Bible alone) helps eliminate such tendencies.  Scripture will even eliminate the desire to "gossip" in small towns and communities.....the little things that don't make big headlines.  It will help discern between the Christians of our past who were in error (protestant reformation and false conversations about how to treat minority communities...particularly Jewish) vs. Christians who were rightfully burned at the stake for truly trusting in the redeemer (foxes book and voice of the martyrs; pilgrim church by Broadbent).


Isaiah 63 (the *Song of Moses* is mentioned in the book of Revelation, so working with the blessing of Israel is important to faith.)

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him? That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
(Isa 63:1-19)

Frustrations in the world of music..... Sodom and Gomorrah vs. Jesus

King David played music.  The bible declares it.  In fact, he used music to sooth the mind and emotions of King Saul who brewed MUCH hatred in his heart towards David.  But David did NOT buy into Saul's feelings of hatred.  HE continued to TREAT ugly in the heart Saul with kindness and respect.  Saul is an example of worshiping the "pride" in men rather than the humble adoration of the creator.

Furthermore, David in the bible also had some issues with sin in his heart.  He knew it, and declared it in Psalm 51.  The reason for his sin wasn't because he gave up and said "I am born this way".......no way.  He said "Psa 51:4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. "  Essentially he LOST connection with his creator!  That is why he knew he was living in sin.  Some have even gone so far as to say that it was not the sin of being with another man's wife that was the "adultery."  The sin was in HIDING his behavior and MURDERING Bathsheba's husband.  No sin exists unless there are two (or more) people involved.  John the Baptist was murdered by two or more people and it was by the request of a woman who danced.  The sin is in HIDING from the creator and admitting this truth.

If you are talented in any kind of music, whether it is just singing "Over the Rainbow" to your children, or if it is in creating full albums that are for sale to millions, you WILL encounter "Sodom and Gomorrah"...... that is a guarantee.

The reason is because Satan desires WORSHIP!  Yes, worship.  Music is a form of worship.  Beautiful talented singers with wonderful singing voices are "caught," so to speak by "strange women" in Hollywood and beyond.  The men look handsome and healthy and strong.  The women play with the heart of man in these high talented positions......and literally break it.  Jesus himself NEEDED to confront the evils of Capernea.  He stated clearly that they were WORSE than Sodom and Gomorrah, because of their unbelief.

So the only way to confront the evils, is not to give into it.  But to continue with musical talent.  Overcome the evil in their heart with GOOD.  Do not be deceived by others who want you to "bow down" and worship their "Sodom and Gomorrah" lifestyle.  No, fulfill the work that God wants you to do on earth.  STUDY the SCRIPTURE, SHEW thyself APPROVED.

You as a believer can sing secular songs (Song of Solomon is right in the middle of the bible and declares love.....come away with me Lucille).  You can also sing beautiful songs that sooth the soul and are just generally fulfilling the comfort of the general tribe.  You could sing tribal or cultural songs without looking like you love the tribe more than the creator of the tribe.  And in many cases it is absolutely WONDERFUL to sing and know many hymns and praise songs.

Most importantly KNOW the scripture, so you do not get deceived by the ugly pattern of this fallen world.  Such a pattern only leads to much heartache and early death.

PS. Here is a sample of the music I improvise......

OT laws and NT Explanation- Ritual Purity and Impurity

(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.)  CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW.  Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.


Ritual Purity and Impurity

  1. That eight species of creeping things defile by contact (Lev. 11:29-30) (affirmative).
  2. That foods become defiled by contact with unclean things (Lev. 11:34) (affirmative).
  3. That anyone who touches the carcass of a beast that died of itself shall be unclean (Lev. 11:39) (affirmative).
  4. That a lying-in woman is unclean like a menstruating woman (in terms of uncleanness) (Lev. 12:2-5) (affirmative).
  5. That a leper is unclean and defiles (Lev. 13:2-46) (affirmative).

  11. That purification from all kinds of defilement shall be effected by immersion in the waters of a mikvah (Lev. 15:16) (affirmative).
  12. That a menstruating woman is unclean and defiles others (Lev. 15:19-24) (affirmative).
  13. That a woman, having a running issue, defiles (Lev. 15:25-27) (affirmative).
  14. To carry out the ordinance of the Red Heifer so that its ashes will always be available (Num. 19:9) (affirmative). See Parah Adumah: Red Heifer.
  15. That a corpse defiles (Num. 19:11-16) (affirmative). See Care for the Dead.
  16. That the waters of separation defile one who is clean, and cleanse the unclean from pollution by a dead body (Num. 19:19-22) (affirmative).


(Lev 11:29)  These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
(Lev 11:30)  And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
(Lev 11:34)  Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
(Lev 11:39)  And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
(Lev 12:2)  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
(Lev 12:3)  And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
(Lev 12:4)  And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
(Lev 12:5)  But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
(Lev 13:2)  When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
(Lev 13:3)  And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
(Lev 13:4)  If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
(Lev 13:5)  And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
(Lev 13:6)  And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
(Lev 13:7)  But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
(Lev 13:8)  And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
(Lev 13:9)  When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
(Lev 13:10)  And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
(Lev 13:11)  It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
(Lev 13:12)  And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
(Lev 13:13)  Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
(Lev 13:14)  But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
(Lev 13:15)  And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
(Lev 13:16)  Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
(Lev 13:17)  And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
(Lev 13:18)  The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
(Lev 13:19)  And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
(Lev 13:20)  And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
(Lev 13:21)  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
(Lev 13:22)  And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
(Lev 13:23)  But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
(Lev 13:24)  Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
(Lev 13:25)  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
(Lev 13:26)  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
(Lev 13:27)  And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
(Lev 13:28)  And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
(Lev 13:29)  If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
(Lev 13:30)  Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
(Lev 13:31)  And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
(Lev 13:32)  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;
(Lev 13:33)  He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
(Lev 13:34)  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
(Lev 13:35)  But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
(Lev 13:36)  Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
(Lev 13:37)  But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
(Lev 13:38)  If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
(Lev 13:39)  Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
(Lev 13:40)  And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
(Lev 13:41)  And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
(Lev 13:42)  And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
(Lev 13:43)  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
(Lev 13:44)  He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
(Lev 13:45)  And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
(Lev 13:46)  All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
(Lev 13:47)  The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
(Lev 13:48)  Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
(Lev 13:49)  And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
(Lev 14:34)  When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
(Lev 14:35)  And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
(Lev 14:36)  Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
(Lev 14:37)  And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
(Lev 14:38)  Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
(Lev 14:39)  And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
(Lev 14:40)  Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
(Lev 14:41)  And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
(Lev 14:42)  And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
(Lev 14:43)  And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
(Lev 14:44)  Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
