The Rabbis

How should Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) interact with the Rabbis?

People who call themselves "Rabbi", are frequently on Christian television.  Some of these people are part of the Children of Truth, but many are not.

For example, Yechiel Eckstein created the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in 1991 AD, a charity that raised money to help poor Jews immigrate to Israel, and help poor Jews continue to live in Israel.  Since that time, his charity has collected one and half billion dollars, eventually becoming the second largest Jewish charity in Israel.

Eckstein got most of these donations through infomercials that he ran on Christian television.  It was primary the Children of Truth that made these donations.

Another one, is Daniel Lapin.  Lapin has been an ardent defendant of Christianity.  He started the American Alliance of Jews and Christians just for the purpose of setting the record straight regarding the treatment of Jews by Christians.

For example, he calls the National Holocaust Museum anti-Christian because it completely ignores the six million Christians, who died in the Holocaust for attempting to rescue Jews from the Holocaust, like the family of Corrie ten Boon.  He has argued that the term "righteous Gentiles" should be changed to "Righteous Christians", because he points out correctly that all of the "righteous Gentiles" honored at Yad Vashem called themselves Christians.

Daniel Lapin also has shows on Christian television, radio, and internet, including "Ancient Jewish Wisdom", where he tells Christians how to apply wisdom from ancient Jewish sources to family, faith, and finances.  I have no doubt that his love for Christians is real.

Still others with the title of "Rabbi", who are not part of the Children of Truth, have appeared as guests on various Christian television, radio, and internet shows.  They are frequently consulted by Christian teachers like Perry Stone and Billye Brim for insight into scripture.  Others, like Pastor John Hagee, work closely with these unbelievers in his Christian Zionist organization, Christians United For Israel, and frequently has them appear at his "Night To Honor Israel" conferences, which he holds in large Christian churches.

Then there are the Messianics.

There are a number of people in the Messianic movement who call themselves, "Rabbi".  They are part of the Children of Truth, and are firmly fixed in Christian television, radio, and internet.

Some of these Messianics who call themselves "Rabbi",  have shows on Christian television.  This includes Jonathan Bernis on Jewish Voice, Randy Weiss on Crosstalk, Kirt Schneider on The Jewish Jesus, and Baruch Korman on Love Israel.  Besides these, there have been various Messianics who call themselves "Rabbi", like Jonathan Khan, who appear as guests on numerous Christian television and radio shows.  There are many Messianic websites created by other Messianics who call themselves "Rabbi", like David Chernoff, Jason Sobel, and Zev Porat.

There are many more Messianics who call themselves "Rabbi", leading congregations across America and around the world in the Messianic movement.  The Messianic movement has been shown to be one of the fastest growing religious segments in the world.

So, what is the problem with having all of these people with the title of "Rabbi" embedded in the Christian world?

The first problem is the title "Rabbi".

The title "Rabbi" came from Babylon, where one of the titles of the king of Babylon was "Sarru Rabu", the Great King.  The Akkadian word "rabu" has the same meaning as the Hebrew word "rab" - to be great in some sense.  It is the title of a Babylonian military officer that is translated as "captain".  The sages took on this Babylonian title and made it their own while they were living in Babylon. 

The lowest title was "Rab", and was originally assigned to a sage (a scribe or a priest) with disciples.  The next title was "Rabbi", and was assigned to a Rab, who had at least one disciple who became a Rab.  The highest title was "Rabban", and was assigned to a Rabbi, who had at least one disciple who became a Rabbi (three generation of disciples), or had outlived all of his own disciples.

Rab, Rabbi, and Rabban with respect to generations of disciples was similar to the concept of father, grandfather, and great-grandfather with respect to generations of descendants.

By the time when the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) started his ministry, this system of Babylonian based titles became formally standardized - and with much different meanings than the original.

The term "Rab" came to be assigned to any man of good standing in the Jewish community who was following the traditions of the elders.  It is the same as the title "Reb" in Yiddish, as in "Reb Tevye" the central character in the movie "Fiddler on the Roof".

The term "Rabbi" came to be assigned to a sage who had disciples.

Priests were considered to be sages by default.  So the Faithful Priest, John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikvah Man), was also considered to be a sage.

It is for this reason, that the followers of John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikvah Man) called him, "Rabbi", because he had disciples (John 3:25-26).  John the Baptist, however, directed his disciples to follow the Man of Truth, instead of himself (John 3:27-30).

So, when the disciples of John the Baptist became disciples of the Man of Truth, they called him, "Rabbi" as well (John 1:35-38).

The term "Rabban" came to be assigned exclusively to the Nasi (prince) of the Sanhedrin.

The first Nasi of the Sanhedrin to be given the title of "Rabban" was Gamaliel the Great, who advised against punishing Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Cephas aka The Apostle Peter) and John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John) for preaching about the Man of Truth (Acts 5:34-39).  This is the same Gamaliel who taught Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka the Apostle Paul), before Paul the Jew began persecuting the Children of Truth (Acts 22:2-4).

So, when the Children of Truth let others call them "Rabbi", they are exalting themselves above others like the scribes and Pharisees did (Matthew 23:2-7).  The Children of Truth are to humble themselves and serve each other, instead of taking on the title of "Master", that only belongs to the Man of Truth (Matthew 23:10-12).

This takes us to the second problem.  The Children of Truth should not address anyone as "Rabbi", including unbelievers.  None of the Children of Truth should accept anyone calling them "Rabbi".  My Rabbi, the Man of Truth, said to call no one "Rabbi", except him.

The Man of Truth said in no uncertain terms, that the Children of Truth are not to allow others to call them "Rabbi", because he is their only Master (Matthew 23:8).

No one can have both the Man of Truth and someone else as their master (Matthew 6:24).

(The word "Rabbi" literally means "my master", but it can also be understood as a teacher, in the sense of a school master (John 1:38).  [The word translated as "master" here is "didaskalos", which is a master over scholars, which is to say a teacher.])

Now we are ready to address the third problem.

When the Children of Truth disobey the commandment of the Man of Truth to not call anyone but him, "Rabbi", it creates confusion about the identity of the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel.

The Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) says, that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) would raise up a Prophet of Truth like unto Moses (Moishe) (Deuteronomy 18:15-16).  The Law of Truth says, that we must obey the commandments of that Prophet of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:17-19).  The Children of Truth then tell Jewish people, that the Man of Truth is that Prophet of Truth like unto Moses who we must obey (Acts 3:20-23).

So, when the Children of Truth rebel against the commandment of the Man of Truth to call no one "Rabbi", except the Man of Truth, they are negating their testimony concerning the identity of the Man of Truth.  They are denying with their actions, what they are proclaiming with their mouths (Titus 1:16).

The fourth problem is the doctrine taught by the Rabbis.  All branches of Rabbinic Judaism today came from the Pharisees.  The Man of Truth commands that we have nothing to do with the doctrine of the Pharisees (Matthew 16:6-12).

The Rabbis claim to be experts in the Law of Truth, but the Rabbis are liars!  They are only experts in their own traditions and commandments that they created in Babylon.  These traditions and commandments, along with Rabbinic commentary on them, have been written down in the sixty-three tractates of the Babylonian Talmud.  The Babylonian Talmud is usually just called the Talmud.

Keeping the commandments of the Rabbis is not the same as keeping the Law of Truth.  The commandments of the Rabbis on how to keep the Law of Truth are very different than the commandments of the Man of Truth on how to keep the Law of Truth.  The Man of Truth made this very plain in the Sermon on the Mount.

Paul the Jew was taught how to keep the Law of Truth by keeping the commandments of the Pharisees at the feet of Gamaliel the Great (Acts 22:3).  However, he counted all of these commandments as manure to be discarded, so he could become like the Man of Truth (Philippians 3:5-8).

The fifth problem is that the Rabbis have all kinds of fables in the Talmud that are not found in the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament).  The Children of Truth are commanded to avoid these Jewish fables as well.

The Children of Truth are to pay no attention to theses fables and endless genealogies that the Rabbis focus on, because these things do not help the Children of Truth keep the Law of Truth in the way that the Father of Truth intended (1 Timothy 1:4-8).  Fables like these are designed to appeal to those who will not endure the sound doctrine of the Book of Truth (The Bible) (2 Timothy 4:3-4).  The Jewish fables and the commandments of the Rabbis found in the Talmud turn people from the truth found in the Book of Truth (Titus 1:14).  These cunningly devised fables are not like the events recorded in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) by eye witnesses of the fulfillment of the prophecies recorded in the Original Covenant (2 Peter 1:16-21).

So, in summary, the Children of Truth are not address anyone by the title of Rabbi, except the Man of Truth.  They should never go by the title of Rabbi.  The Children of Truth also must avoid the doctrine of the Rabbis, and the fables told by the Rabbis.

This does not mean that the Children of Truth must have nothing to do with the Rabbis or the Talmud.  The Talmud not only contains the doctrine of the Rabbis and Jewish fables, but it also contains history.  For example, the Talmud bears witness that the Man of Truth performed miracles while he was on the Earth and that the Pharisees said that this power came from Satan (Matthew 12:22-24).

So, the Children of Truth need to be cautious when dealing with the Talmud, so that they only draw out of it what agrees with the Book of Truth.  It is no different to use anything in the Talmud that is true to bring people closer to the Man of Truth, than it was for Paul the Jew to use a quote from a pagan prophet to rebuke the Children of Truth in Crete, because what the pagan prophet said was true (Titus 1:12-13).

In like manner, the Rabbis can have much wisdom to share with the Children of Truth when it comes to matters of family and finances.  A lot of this wisdom has came from studying and discussing the writings of wisdom in the Original Covenant that so many of the Children of Truth ignore.

The wiser Rabbis realize that they have a vested interest in helping the Children of Truth succeed.

These wiser Rabbis know that history has demonstrated over and over again that the Children of Truth are the only allies that the Jewish people have ever had in every place where they have been scattered.  They recognize that the Children of Truth have protected the Jewish people at times from their enemies - like the Nazis and the False Church of Rome.  They recognized that there would be no country of Israel, if Christian Zionists had not pursued the impossible dream of making the impossible country come into existence.

So, these wiser Rabbis have come to understand that the Children of Truth are the little sanctuary that the Father of Truth provided for the Jewish people in the Diaspora and His means to bring the Jewish people back into the land of Israel (Ezekiel 11:15-17).

Of course, not all Rabbis are this wise.  Many of the Rabbis have persecuted the Children of Truth, particularly the Jewish Children of Truth (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16).

So, how should the Children of Truth interact with the Rabbis?

They should pray for the Rabbis that are persecuting the Children of Truth and show the goodness of the Father of Truth to all Rabbis (Matthew 5:43-48).  After all, it is the goodness of the Father of Truth that will lead the Rabbis to repentance (Romans 2:4).

So, it is definitely right that we show them the goodness of the Father of Truth by helping them carry out the will of the Father of Truth in doing things like caring for Holocaust survivors.  However, we should care for the Rabbis themselves as well.

We should be like Paul the Jew and earnestly desire for the Rabbis to come to the knowledge of the truth (Romans 9:3-5).  We should recognize that the Rabbis have great zeal for the Father of Truth, but that their zeal is without the knowledge of the truth (Romans 10:1-3).  Though the Rabbis are blind to the truth, the Father of Truth desires that they know the Man of Truth (Romans 11:24-26).

There are Rabbis who acknowledge that the book of Acts documents real history and that the resurrection of the Man of Truth was a real historical event.  However, they still refuse to accept that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel because he did not meet the requirements of their traditions!  Talk about being blind!

That veil of tradition that blinds the eyes of the Rabbis from seeing the Man of Truth when they read the Original Covenant, will be taken away when they repent (2 Corinthians 3:13-16).

So,we need to fight for the Rabbis on our knees to end their blindness.

The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) has blinded the Rabbis from being able to see the truth (2 Corinthians 4:4).  Therefore our fight is not with the Rabbis, but with the Father of Lies (Ephesians 6:11-12).  We need to put on our armor and fight to set the Rabbis free from their blindness (Ephesians 6:13-17).

The Father of Truth is not willing that the Rabbis should perish and he is not willing for you to perish either (2 Peter 3:9).

The Man of Truth was raised from the dead to ensure everyone that judgment is certain, unless they come into the House of Truth (Acts 17:30-31).  So, the Rabbis and everyone else must surrender to the prophet like unto Moses, the Man of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9-13)!

Come into the House of Truth!

The Rabbis Are Liars!

Are the Rabbis experts in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law)?

The Rabbis say that they are experts in the Law of Truth and their understanding of the Law of Truth is the basis of their doctrine.  The Rabbis say that their doctrine came from the traditions that the elders handed down to the Pharisees (Mark 7:1-5).

They say, that these traditions were handed down to the Pharisees by the seventy elders that went up with Moses, when he received the Law of Truth.  They say, that these elders passed down traditions, which they heard at that time, but were not written down in the Law of Truth by Moses.  They say, that the elders passed down to the Pharisees the secret things that they had learned on Mount Sinai, which are required to rightly interpret the Law of Truth.  They say, that Pharisees passed this secret knowledge down to them.

They call these traditions, and the commandments that came from these traditions, the Oral Torah, which became the Mishnah once they were written, down instead of continuing to be passed from generation to generation orally.

(The commentary on the Mishnah by the Rabbis is called the Gemara.  Together the Mishnah and the Gamara form the Talmud.  The Talmud is what Rabbis actually study, not the Law of Truth.)

That is their story and they are sticking with it.  Now let's see if it agrees with the Law of Truth.

There were seventy elders with Moses that had the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) poured out on them in the Tabernacle (Numbers 11:24-30).

These seventy elders went to Mount Sinai with Moses, but the seventy elders waited at the bottom of the mountain, while Moses went up alone to receive the covenant (Exodus 24:1-2).  Moses came down from the mountain and told all the people in the camp all the words that he heard up on the mountain (Exodus 24:3).  Moses then wrote down all the words that he heard up on the mountain (Exodus 24:4).  Moses then read all these words to all the people out of the scroll (translated as book) that he wrote all the words in (Exodus 24:5-8).

These seventy elders then went up out of the camp to the bottom of Mount Sinai with Moses, and ate in the presence of the Man of Truth while he sat on his throne (Exodus 24:9-11).

(No one has seen the Father of Truth, except the Man of Truth (John 6:45-46).  However, whoever has seen the Man of Truth has seen His Father (John 14:8-9).  The Man of Truth is the expressed image of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 1:1-3).  Even the ancient sages taught that Moses and the seventy elders saw the Messiah of Israel on Mount Sinai.)

When Moses went back up to receive the commandments, the seventy elders waited at the bottom of the mountain again (Exodus 24:12-14).  In fact, they went back to the camp with everyone else (Deuteronomy 5:23-31).

The secret things were retained by the Father of Truth alone, but everything else was revealed to all the people and their descendants, so that they could keep the commandments of the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 29:29).
 
So, there is absolutely no truth to the story that the Rabbis received these traditions from the seventy elders.  The seventy elders did not go up with Moses, and they did not receive any secret knowledge to pass down to the Rabbis.  The Law of Truth contains everything that Moses heard.  Everything that was needed to rightly interpret the Law of Truth was revealed to all the people.

The entire idea of a mystery religion, where religious professionals have been given secret knowledge unavailable to everyone else, that is needed to correctly understand the public knowledge available to everyone, is from Babylon.  In fact, the Talmud used today is called the Babylonian Talmud.

The Rabbis are liars!

The Rabbis claim to have been given the authority to create additional commandments, which act as a fence around the Law of Truth.  Not only do they have rules (their commandments) about keeping the rules (the commandments of the Law of Truth), but they even have rules for making new rules for keeping the rules, as the need arises.

The Rabbis claim to have been given this authority because they sit in the seat of Moses (Matthew 23:2).

The Rabbis have added their commandments to those of the Law of Truth (Mark 7:8).  They have also nullified the commandments of the Law of Truth with their own commandments (Mark 7:9-13).

However, no one is able to add to the commandments that the Father of Truth gave to Moses, and no one is able to take away from the commandments of the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 4:1-2). 

The doctrine of the Rabbis are the commandments of men, not the commandments of the Father of Truth (Mark 7:6-7)!  These commandments and the fables taught by the Rabbis turn people from the truth (Titus 1:14)!

Therefore the Man of Truth commands that we have nothing to do with the doctrine of the Pharisees (Matthew 16:6-12). (All branches of Rabbinic Judaism today came from the Pharisees.)

However, the Children of Truth are to do what Moses says, not what the Rabbis command (Matthew 23:3).

(The Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew, while Greek was the original language of most of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).  In the Hebrew text it reads, "do what he (meaning Moses) says", not "do what they (meaning the Pharisees) say".  This is consistent with the warning of the Man of Truth to avoid the doctrine of the Pharisees.)

The commandments of the Rabbis are both figuratively and literally too heavy to carry (Matthew 23:4).  (It takes twice as many books as the Encyclopedia Britannica to contain all of their commandments when written in normal font.)  This is the yoke that the Jewish people could never carry (Acts 15:10).

However, the commandments that the Father of Truth gave to Moses are not too heavy to carry (1 John 5:2-3).

So, there is no truth to their claim to have authority from Moses to create any of the commandments in their doctrine.

The Rabbis are liars!

The Rabbis in like manner claim, that people must observe their commandments about how to live out every day of their lives.  This manner of life is called "Halacha" which mean "the walk"'.

In their Halacha, they have commandments concerning what to eat and drink, and how to observe the Feasts of Truth, the Sabbath, and the New Moon.

The Father of Truth gave commandments concerning what to eat and drink (Leviticus 11).  The Father of Truth gave commandments concerning observing the Sabbath and the Feasts of Truth (Leviticus 23).  The Father of Truth gave commandments concerning observing the New Moon (the beginning of the Biblical month) (Numbers 28:11-15).  Those are the commandments of the Father of Truth!

However, their commandments about these things are merely the commandments of men (Colossians 2:16-22).

Where did they get the commandments of their Halacha from?

The commandment that they have of saying "Happy New Year!" at Yom Teruah, is from Babylon.  The commandments of Yom Kippor, the Feast without food, that they use to atone for sin, are from Babylon.  The commandments that they have made for how to build a Sukkah to fulfill the invitation of "Let's go camping", are from Babylon.  The commandments that they have made for rejoicing in Torah, are from Babylon.

The Law of Truth, says not to use the customs of idol worship to worship the Father of Truth and not to add any commandments to His commandments (Deuteronomy 12:30-32).

In their Halacha, they also command men to cover their heads while praying.

The Father of Truth said that the Prophet like unto Moses would only say the words that He gave him (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).  The Man of Truth only spoke the words that the Father of Truth spoke (John 12:49-50).  The commandments that the Man of Truth gave, were the commandments of the Father of Truth (John 14:21-24).

The Man of Truth gave these commandment to the Apostles of Truth through the Spirit of Truth, after he returned to Heaven (Acts 1:1-2).  The commandments that Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) wrote, are the commandments of the Man of Truth (and therefore the commandments of the Father of Truth) (1 Corinthians 14:37).

So, the Father of Truth commands that men to not cover their heads while praying, because they are made in His image (1 Corinthians 11:3-7).

The commandments of the Rabbis about what is on your head came from Babylon.

In their Halacha, they say that it is against the Law of Truth for Jews to eat with Gentiles.

It is for this reason, that other believing Jews spoke against Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Simeon aka Cephas aka The Apostle Peter) for eating with the Gentiles (Acts 11:2-3).   It is for this reason that Peter the Jew, Barnabas the Jew (The Apostle Barnabas) and other Jews stopped eating with the believing Gentiles, when certain Jews sent by James the Jew (Ya'acov aka James the brother of the Man of Truth aka The Apostle James) arrived (Galatians 2:11-13).

The Law of Truth actually says, that the Children of Truth are not to accept invitations to eat food sacrificed to idols (Exodus 34:15).  The Law of Truth says, that when people sacrifice to idols, then they are sacrificing to the Spirit of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) (Deuteronomy 32:16-17).

For this reason, the Gentiles were commanded by the Apostles of Truth to not eat food sacrificed to idols (Acts 21:25).  The Children of Truth are not to eat food offered to idols, because it could lead some of them back into idolatry (1 Corinthians 8).  The Children of Truth can accept invitations to go to feasts with the Gentiles, but they cannot eat the food there, if they learn that it was sacrificed to idols (1 Corinthians 10:20-28).  The Man of Truth will bring judgment upon the Children of Truth, if they continue to eat food sacrificed to idols (Revelation 2:14-22).

So, the Father of Truth showed Peter the Jew to not call any person uncleanable from sin, so he was able to go and eat with Cornelius the Gentile (Acts 10:28).  [The Greek word "Akathartos", translated as "unclean", literally means "uncleanable from pollution". (The Greek word "kathartos" is where the medical term for leaning the pollution out of a wound comes from.)]

The Rabbis got the commandments that make up their Halacha from mixing Babylonian practices with the commandments of the Law of Truth.  The Rabbis created barriers between Jews and Gentiles that they invented in Babylon.  They were rebelling against the Father of Truth when they did this.

The Rabbis are liars!

The Rabbis deny that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel spoken about in the Law of Truth.

The Man of Truth taught people how to keep the Law of Truth in the way that the Father of Truth always intended (Matthew 5:17-20). The Man of Truth taught that the Law of Truth could be summed up in two commandments:  Love the Father of Truth and love people (Matthew 22:37-40).

Everything that the Man of Truth suffered, he suffered to fulfill what was written in the Law of Truth (Luke 24:44-47).  The Man of Truth was that Prophet that Moses wrote about in the Law of Truth (John 1:45-49).  The Man of Truth was made under the Law of Truth, to transform those under the Law of Truth into children of the Father of Truth (Galatians 4:4-5).

Those who believe what is written in the Law of Truth, will follow the Man of Truth (Acts 24:14).  This is why Paul the Jew sought to persuade the Jews in Rome, that the Man of Truth was the one who Moses wrote about in the Law of Truth (Acts 28:17-23).

The only thing the Man of Truth did not fulfill, was the expectations of the Rabbis to teach people to follow their commandments. 

The Rabbis are liars!

The Rabbis lie about getting their traditions from the seventy elders.  The Rabbis lie about having the authority from Moses to create their commandments.  The Rabbis lie about the source of their Halacha.  The Rabbis lie about the identity of the Man of Truth.

The Rabbis are liars!

If you say the Rabbis are experts in the Law of Truth, then what are you saying?

The Rabbis will not believe what Moses wrote about the Man of Truth, even though the Man of Truth rose from the dead (Luke 16:31).  Moses was the first to write about the suffering of the Man of Truth (Luke 24:25-27).  Moses will be the accuser of the Rabbis, because they do not believe what he wrote about the Man of Truth (John 5:45-47).

The Rabbis are contrary to all people, not only persecuting Jews who follow the Man of Truth, but also forbidding those Jews to tell the Gentiles about the Man of Truth (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16).  The Rabbis claim to be teachers of the Law of Truth, but they do not know what they are talking about, but instead create questions about unimportant things (1 Timothy 1:4-10).  The arguing of the Rabbis about the Law of Truth, fables, and unimportant things are worthless and empty (Titus 3:9).

The Rabbis use Rabbinic distort to keep the Jewish people from seeing the truth about the Man of Truth.  The Rabbis are the source of Jewish trouble.  Like a snake in the leaves, the Rabbis are a hidden danger with venom in their mouths.  The doctrine of the Rabbis is the doctrine of lies.

The Rabbis are liars!

The Man of Truth contrasted his Halacha with the Halacha of the Rabbis in the Sermon on the Mount.  You cannot not walk on two divergent paths at the same time.   You cannot be walking in the Halacha of the Rabbis and the Halacha of the Man of Truth.

You may be walking in the Halacha of the Rabbis like Paul the Jew once did (Galatians 1:13-14).  You need to start walking in the Halacha of the Man of Truth instead, like Paul the Jew eventually did (Philippians 1:27-30). You need to be walking in truth, which is the Halacha of the Father of Truth (Philippians 3:20).

[The Greek word translated as "conversation" in these passages means "manner of life" or "to live by the rules of a community", which is the idea of Halacha.]

The doctrine of the Man of Truth is the doctrine of truth.

So, you need to come into the House of Truth.  The House of Truth is where you learn how to start walking in truth.

You come into the House of Truth, by acting on the words of Moses contained in the Law of Truth (Romans 10:4-8).  You come into the House of Truth, by walking in the Halacha of the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  You come into the House of Truth, by believing and saying what the Law of Truth says about the Man of Truth, whether you are a Jew or a Gentile (Romans 10:10-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

Make America Great Again!

Can America be made great again?

During the 2016 Presidential campaign, President Trump ran under a slogan of "Make America Great Again".  He maintained that America was not in some irreversible downward spiral, but could reverse its direction to rise to even greater heights than before, if Americans just would stop doing stupid things that were contrary to the best interests of America.

President Trump had a strategy to accomplish this that could be summed up as "putting America first".  He rightly stated that it is the duty of the leader of every country to look out for the good of their own country in front of other countries.

When President Trump took office, the US economy was in the second worse shape that it ever been in, since the Pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower.  Unemployment was only worse during the Great Depression.  Without a doubt, there was a loss of power for America during the rule of President Obama.

Within one year, unemployment was at a record low.  There can be no doubt that the American economy has greatly rebounded since Trump took office.

Indeed, America has greatly improved in almost every objectively measurable area, since President Trump set out to make America great again.

Not only is the US military ranked higher based on objective data than that of number two Russia and number three China combined, but each of its branches is similarly ahead of the same branch of the next two countries.  While it has been number one for a long time, the gap between it and number two has grown noticeably under President Trump.  This has happened despite the efforts of its nearest rivals, Russia and China to improve and modernize their militaries.

The US military is no longer in a stalemate in the war on terror.  It is decisively winning, with ISIS being completely destroyed since Trump took office.

However, not everyone is happy with President Trump.  It is not surprising that Russia, China, North Korea, and militant Islamic extremists are not happy.  It is surprising that the majority of Americans are unhappy with President Trump.  It is like they really do not want America to be made great again.

For many Americans, this is actually true.  They are globalists, who believe that there needs to be a one-world government to deal with global problems effectively.  A strong, independent, America that leads the world in terms of real power, and puts its own interest first, makes a one-world government impossible.

However, for other Americans, it is not so much that do not want for America to be made great again, as it is that they do not want to do what is necessary to make America great again.  They want get President Trump results with President Obama policies.

At the root of this dilemma, it is not a political problem, but rather a spiritual problem.  The best way to make America great again, is do what made it great in the first place.  As Alexis De Tocqueville observed in his landmark 1835 AD book about the rise of America to greatness, entitled "Democracy In America", there was only one thing that accounted for the greatness of America: Christianity.

Tocqueville made it very plain that American Christianity was nothing like European "Christianity", which came from the False Church of Rome.  Tocqueville observed that the leaders of American Christianity mostly lacked any seminary training, but instead based their teachings exclusively on the Book of Truth (The Bible) to the best of their own studies.

America was made great by the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), because it based its laws on the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) found in the Book of Truth.  At times when America has moved away from that standard, like in the Roaring Twenties, it soon found itself in trouble, like the Great Depression.  When it returned to that standard, like it did during the end of the Great Depression, it rose back to greatness, like it did during World War II and the aftermath of that war.

So, America can only made great again, by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) once again becoming the American Spirit.  After all, the meaning of liberty in America was literally defined by the Book of Truth.  America needs to once again live up to the ideas of Independence Day.

America has been being made great again to the degree that President Trump has moved America back in alignment with those principles.  This is what is really upsetting so many Americans.

For example, President Trump has been the most pro-Israel president in American history, and President Obama was the most anti-Israel president by far.

However, around three quarters of  American Jews voted for the the most anti-Israel president in American history, while making about one half of the monetary contributions to his political party.  At the same time, only about one quarter of American Jews voted for the most pro-Israel president in American history, while making about one tenth of the monetary contributions to his political party.

It is a demonstrable fact that the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) in the US are the most ardent supporters of Israel.  It is also demonstrable that they are the most ardent opponents in America of abortion and people living like they were married in Sodom.  Their positions on these issues come from the Book of Truth.

The same correlation exists on the other side.  The most ardent opponents of Israel are also the most ardent supporters of abortion and homosexual marriage.

This explains the strange rejection of the most pro-Israel President in history by most American Jews.

Three quarters of American Jews have ended up rejecting supporting Israel in order to continue to support abortion and homosexual marriage.  When force to choose between defending the Jewish homeland and defending the abortion industry, they pick defending the serial killers.  Their opposition to living in line with the Law of Truth is greater than their desire to get the results of living in line with the Law of Truth.

This is not limited to Jewish Americans, but is true of Americans of all ethnic backgrounds.

For example, Republicans introduced the first civil rights legislation in 1866 AD to grant fair treatment of African Americans, and then tried again in 1875 AD and 1957 AD.  Their efforts for almost one hundred years were thwarted by Supreme Court decisions, starting in 1883 AD, during times when the Supreme Court had a majority of Democrat appointees on the bench.  Yet, the majority of African Americans kept voting for these oppressors of African Americans year after year, because the Republicans also wanted to make other changes to bring America more back in line with Law of Truth that they did not like.

This does not mean that all Republicans are Christians, only that they want to bring America back in line with the Law of Truth in some area, because they desire to get the results of living in line with the Law of Truth in that area.  They may have never read the Book of Truth, but they can see what they need to do to get the desired results.

So, many Republicans are willing to put up with some things that Father of Truth calls righteous, but they disagree with, in order to do other things that the Father of Truth calls righteous.  In like manner, many Democrats are willing to put up with some things that Father of Truth calls wicked, but they disagree with, in order to do other things that the Father of Truth calls wicked.

Whoever does what the Book of Truth says will bring about a blessing, will experience that blessing, even if they do not know that the Book of Truth says to do it to be blessed.  Whoever does what the Book of Truth says will bring about a curse, will experience that curse, even if they do not know that the Book of Truth says to do it to be cursed.

For example, the Father of Truth promised to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.  Unemployment and ISIS lowered under President Trump, because he blessed Israel.  Conversely, unemployment and ISIS rose under President Obama because he cursed Israel.

This promise is laid out in the Book of Truth.

The Father of Truth promised the land of Canaan to Abraham, as well as to bless those that blessed Abraham (Abram) and to curse those that cursed Abraham, because Abraham was His means of bringing blessing to all the families of the Earth (Genesis 12:1-5).  This promise was passed down to the descendants of Abraham, who would use to bring blessings to all the families of the Earth (Genesis 22:16-18).  This promise was passed down to Isaac (Yitzaq) as the descendant that would be used to bless all the families of the Earth (Genesis 26:3-6).  Isaac then passed this promise down to Israel (Yish'rael aka Yah'acov aka Jacob) (Genesis 27:28-30).  Then the Father of Truth confirmed that this promise belonged to Israel (Genesis 28:13-15).  Then the twelve sons of Israel became the twelve tribes of Israel, which were blessed with this promise (Genesis 49:1-28).

So, President Trump does not need to be a Christian to make America great again.  This will happen automatically, if America returns to being a Christian nation.  However, President Trump has brought some blessing upon America by some of his policies, because he is leading America to do some of the things that the Father of Truth promised to bless those who do them.

However, there is only so much even the greatest leader can do.

The Father of Truth said better things about the rule of King Josiah than any other king, including King David (2 Kings 23:21-25).  Nonetheless, judgement was determined upon the kingdom of Judah, because the people still wanted to live like they had under King Manasseh, the grandfather of Josiah (2 Kings 23:26-27).

King Manasseh had increased evil in the kingdom of Judah, like the murder of babies and homosexual marriage that made judgment upon Judah certain (2 Kings 21:1-16).  So, as soon as the unpopular King Josiah was dead, the people of Judah returned to living like they had under the popular King Manasseh, until there was no remedy other than judgment (2 Chronicles 36:1-17).

So, even though the best leader of any of the kingdoms that came from the twelve tribes of Israel, did all that he could to make Judah great again, it was not enough.  The only way for Judah to have been made great again, was for the people of Judah to return to doing what made Judah great in the first place.

In the same way, no matter how sincere the desire of President Trump to make America great again, no matter how much he does to cause America to do the things that the Father of Truth blesses, it will not be enough.  America will not be made great again, unless the people of America return to doing what made America great in the first place.

So, making America great again is spiritual problem that can only be solved with a spiritual solution.

This spiritual problem has been a long time in the making.  There has been people working through a subtle influence to turn American from the Father of Truth since about 1870 AD.  All these people needed was for the American church to be distracted from hindering them to make their next move.

Around 1980 AD, these distractions came in the form of two new "revelations" in the American church.

A "prosperity message" began being preached in mega churches, that got people seeking bigger, better, newer stuff, instead of seeking the Father of Truth.  At the same time, a "grace message" began being preached in smaller churches, which was the Great Deception that believers did not need to strive to live in obedience to the Man of Truth, because they were the Chosen Few.

Without the American church hindering them, these enemies of America began working to make things like homosexuality accepted as normal in America.  Their efforts to spread their culture of death in the form of abortion clinics was largely unopposed by religious professionals and church boards, who were more afraid of losing their charitable tax exemption for endorsing political candidates that opposed this murder of children, than losing the Spirit of Truth moving in their services.

This greatly grieved the Children of Truth like myself.  The Spirit of Truth began telling them to warn America, especially the American church, to take action to return America to the Father of Truth to avoid His judgment.  The Spirit of Truth began revealing parts of the upcoming judgment to various Children of Truth like myself.

So for four years, starting in 1997 AD, I warned people that the Father of Truth was going to use Muslims in an attack inside the United States as judgement for our murders (abortion), our fornications (heterosexual activities outside of marriage, homosexuality, pornography), our witchcraft (pharmakia - use of hallucinogenic drugs), and other sins - unless we repented.  I was called an Islamaphobe by those in the workplace. (Ironically, I was the only American that would be friends with Muslims in the workplace.)  I was called a false prophet by those in the American church, because I was going against "the prosperity message" and "the grace message".

All of my detractors were strangely silent on the morning of September 11, 2001.  Instead, people were swarming my cube at work wanting to know how I knew, that Muslims were going perpetrate an attack like that.

The next day, I was given this message by the Spirit of Truth, "This is what the Lord is saying, since America will not repent of its sexual immorality, drunkenness, witchcraft, murder, and idolatry, the days are coming when they will say, 'Remember when it was just a few buildings' ".

For the next six weeks, America had record church attendance as people sought to understand how this could happen, contrary to "the prosperity message", and "the grace message" that had been preached in most churches for years.  I scanned through television, radio, and the internet, to see what these preachers would say.

All of them went to the same verse, 2 Chronicles 7:14, and then proceeded to tell people this lie, "The Bible says pray and God will heal our land".

I am proud to say that there was one exception that I heard, my own pastor in his sermon entitled, "Why?".

My pastor told people that we had brought this judgment upon ourselves because our murders, fornications, sorceries, and disobedience to the Father of Truth.  He told them the truth about what 2 Chronicles 7:14 says.  He told them, that it is believers, who are called by the name of the Father of Truth, who have to humble themselves by admitting that they have been sinning against Him.  He told them, that believers have seek the face of the Father of Truth by committing to return to walking in His ways to the best of their ability.  He told them, if the believers would pray after doing those two things, then the Father of Truth would hear their prayers, forgive their rebellion against Him, and He would heal America for their sake.  If only more pastors had had a spine like his!

Instead, these other preachers gave people a false promise that did not come from the Father of Truth.  People tried praying and our land was not healed.  So, people returned to their sin with hardened hearts.

The Father of Truth has promised judgment upon these liars that gave this false message, like He promised to bring judgment upon the Prophets of Lies in Judah that gave a message of prosperity, instead of a message of judgment for sin (Jeremiah 14:13-16).  Like the kingdom of Judah, it is evident that the message of prosperity in the American church has not came to pass, but the message of judgment for sin has came to pass (Jeremiah 28:7-9).  Like those who opposed the message of the Prophet of Truth in Judah were judged for teaching rebellion against the Father of Truth in Judah, so will these deceivers be judged for teaching rebellion against the Father of Truth in America (Jeremiah 28:10-17).

The Father of Truth is against them, just like He was against those who spoke lying messages of prosperity in Judah (Ezekiel 13:16-17).  The Father of Truth is against them and will end their deception, because they have grieved the Children of Truth and strengthened others to become more wicked, by promising them eternal life without turning from their sin, just like it happened in Judah (Ezekiel 13:22-23).

The Father of Truth will make their sin known to all, when He brings the judgment upon them, because they made themselves rich by giving a message that no evil would come upon people for continuing to do evil, just like it happened in Judah (Micah 3:5-11).

Since that time, church attendance has been on a steady decline, while evil has only grown.  In just eighteen years time, the number of abortions have grown, homosexual marriage has become legal and common, there is legal marijuana in most states in the United States as well as an opioid epidemic, and a general rise in sins like drunkenness, and violent crime.

On top of that, the number of idols in America has greatly multiplied.  Idols for most of American history were almost entirely those erected by the False Church of Rome.  (Renaming an idol "Mary" or "Jesus", does not cause it to stop being an idol.)  However, in the last eighteen years, temples of idols, by primarily Hindus, have been built all over the land, especially in the larger cities.  Many Americans have turned to joining in the feasts like "Holi", that honor these idols.  This is just like what happened in the kingdom of Judah in days leading up to its destruction.

Indeed, America has not repented of its sexual immorality, drunkenness, witchcraft, murder, and idolatry. America has plainly not heeded the call of 9-11.

Like in the days of King Josiah, wickedness might be too ingrained into American society to avoid judgment, but like King Josiah, we can at least delay judgment by leading our country into national repentance.  When America has wholesale national repentance, it is called a Great Awakening.

America has had two Great Awakenings.

The First Great Awakening occurred from about 1730 AD to 1755 AD.  The Second Great Awakening occurred from about 1790 AD to 1840 AD.  No one disputes that these were periods of wholesale national repentance.

America has also had two Great Rifts.

Some have also argued that there were also two other Great Awakenings, but these were not periods of wholesale national repentance, but rather periods of a large scale shift of focus inside the American church, which created large rifts inside it.  Therefore, they would be more accurately labeled as Great Rifts.

The First Great Rift occurred from 1855 AD to 1930 AD, and was more focused on social justice than national repentance.  During this time, many came to follow another Gospel of some sort, including a so-called "Social Gospel".  This was also when "modern" thought-for-thought translations were created, which said things that were not meant in the original text, including the one disturbing sentence that added to the end of Mark 7:19.

There was at the same time a counter-reaction of others calling for action to bring about the will of the Father of Truth including greater missionary activity, getting people ready for the return of the Man of Truth, and Christian Zionists pursuing the Impossible Dream by preparing the land of Israel for the people of Israel.

The Second Great Rift occurred from 1960 AD to 1980 AD, and was more focused on reforms within the American church than national repentance.  During this time there was a shift by many back towards the Doctrine of Truth based on the Word of Truth, leading to a rise in social conservatism.

There was at the same time a counter-reaction of others towards politics, where they became so Earthly minded that they were no Heavenly good.

Eventually this led to the preaching of "the prosperity message" and "the grace message", as well as great growth in the number of people deceived by the Book of Mormon.

The death of America is certain, unless America has a Third Great Awakening.

Make no mistake, a Great Awakening is very disruptive to the status quo, will cause people to take sides that will divide America into two camps, and will no doubt cause a war between those camps.

The Founding Fathers attended the First Great Awakening as young men, where repentance was preached mostly by religious leaders without seminary training.  This led to these political leaders calling for action and civil disobedience to end British tyranny, when they were older men.  America ended up divided into three equal size camps: Patriots, Tories, and those that did not care.  This resulted in the American Revolution, where the Patriots prevailed and many Tories came to ruin.  (100,000 Tories ultimately had to leave the Colonies and start over.)  Many people in both camps lost their lives in that war.  The process was messy but the result was America becoming great.

Abraham Lincoln and other abolitionist attended the Second Great Awakening as young men, where repentance was preached mostly by religious leaders without seminary training.  This led to these political leaders calling for action and civil disobedience to end slavery, when they were older men.  America ended up divided into three equal size camps: Anti-slavery, Pro-slavery, and those that did not care.  This resulted in the American Civil War, where the Anti-slavery camp prevailed, and the the Pro-slavery camp came to ruin.  (Many of the Pro-slavery camp ultimately had to move to the territories west of the existing states and start over.)  Many people in both camps lost their lives in that war.  The process was messy but the result was America becoming even greater.

It would be no different with a Third Great Awakening.

Young men would be attending a Third Great Awakening now, where repentance would be preached mostly by religious leaders without seminary training.  This will lead these political leaders to make calls for action and civil disobedience to end abortion, when they become older men in the future.  America will end up divided into three equal size camps: Anti-abortion, Pro-abortion, and those that do not care.  This will result in another American Civil War, where the Anti-abortion camp will prevail, and the Pro-abortion camp will come to ruin.  (Many of the Pro-abortion camp will have to leave the United States and start over.)  Many people in both camps will lose their lives in this war.  The process will be messy, but the result will be America being made great again.

The real question is, will there be a Third Great Awakening that makes America great again?  Will those who truly love America have the courage to preach repentance?  Will those who truly love America have the courage to take action?  Will they recognize that once again, it is a time for civil disobedience?

Whatever happens to America, you can have your own great awakening.

All of us have been enslaved by sin (John 8:33-34).  All of us have lived under the tyranny of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) through the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15).

The Father of Truth has raised the Man of Truth from the dead to assure you that His judgment on sin will come (Acts 17:31).

Therefore, heed the message of repentance (Acts 17:30).  This is no salvation without repentance and there is no repentance without total surrender to the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 7:10).

If you come into the House of Truth, then you will be free (John 8:31-32).  The Man of Truth will make you truly free (John 8:35-36).

However, your great awakening will bring division between you and those who reject the Man of Truth (Matthew 10:34-36).  You will be hated by other people (Mark 13:13-14).  Some of your friends will turn on you (Luke 6:22).  You will be hated by those who hate the Man of Truth and the Father of Truth (John 15:18-23).

You will be in a war to bring about change (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).  You will have to wage this war relentlessly (1 Timothy 1:18-19).  You will have to endure hardship to win this war (2 Timothy 2:3-4).

The process will be messy, but the result will be that you will be made great (Revelation 2:26-27).

The Father of Truth raised the Man of Truth from the dead, to make him great again (Ephesians 1:20-21).  You will be like the Man of Truth, who overcame the grave to be made great again (1 John 3:1-2).

So, no matter where you live, you can experience your own Independence Day.  You will be set free, if you come to the Man of Truth in total surrender.

You will be made great, if you will start obeying the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
