Customs and Rotes
Shaul (Paul) wrote to the Ephesians, people who had been previously Pagans, but converted
to
walk in the Truth (Torah). He warned them in the following texts, and these are the texts which I am responding to
in obedience to warn you also: “For of this you can be sure: no immoral, impure
or greedy person ~ such a man is an idolator ~ has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Mashiach and of Elohim. Let no
one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things Elohim’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are Light in the (Rabbi). Livas
children of Light (For the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness, righteousness and Truth) and FIND OUT what
pleases the (Rabbi).
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, BUT RATHER, EXPOSE THEM. For it
is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the Light becomes visible,
for it is Light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and
Mashiach will shine on you.’ BE CAREFUL HOW YOU LIVE ~ not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every
opportunity, because the days are evil.” (Eph. 5:5-16).
We must prove all things, to see if they are being done according to the “Word” (Torah). “Light” is Torah, and
“darkness” is lawlessness. Ephesians 6 discusses the armor of Elohim.
We must buckle on the belt of Truth (Torah). We must be steadfast, or possess the shield of emunah (faithfulness);
we must shod our feet (our walk) in Peace (Torah); put on the breastplate
of Righteousness (Torah); take the helmet of salvation (Torah); and wield the Sword of the Spirit, which is the
Word of Elohim (Torah). This enables us to be able to stand on solid ground in the struggle against the lies sown
by the rulers, powers, and spiritual forces of this darkened world. Lies, deceptions, and excuses are the storms
and winds that blow against the “house” we have built ~ that skyscraper with missing rivets, or the one with
rivets. The foundation, the Torah, is not shifting sand. As it is written, so we walk in it. The wise man will
build on it as his foundation! The
flesh must be disciplined by practice in walking in the Light of Torah (Heb. 5:14). This is so that when
lawlessness approaches, we will be steadfast. What a rabbi teaches his students is Torah; so also our Rabbi. A
rabbi “binds” and “loosens”. If a student goes to ask, “What does Torah teach about this . . . “, any rabbi will
answer according to his knowledge and skills learned from Torah. If Torah prohibits it, thenthe action is “bound”.
If Torah permits it, then it is “loosed”. Without Torah, a minister, pastor, or teacher is “blind”; and when the
blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit. YaHshua gave eyesight to us, so we would not be blind.
Paganism defiles us.
YaHshua gave us the “Keys” to the Kingdom, the Torah written on our hearts. He left us the authority to “bind” and
“loose”. I do not “bind” anything alone, but with the Spirit of YaHshua, we Nazarenes around the world can bind and
loose, and we have bound the items being exposed in this book. We expose them as counterfeit worship. For this, we
will suffer, and though we come in peace, some will be killed for it. The merchants have too much to lose. We see
that ‘’the Mass” in Christ’s Mass
(Christmas) is really a song-and-dance operation that has been used for well over 1000
years to take up collections of wealth. This “assembling” on Sun-day has carried over into the
Protestant assemblies. They carried-over the collections, the indoor “altar” relic of the Mandaean
Mass, Sun-day, steeples, the Roman Calendar with all of the “festivals” dressed up in their
bright and shiny clothing to disguise Pagan folly.
But they left the images of people behind; but this did not keep them from adopting the sign of the
“cross”, which began with Constantine. And, then some if not most absorbed the “sacra-MENTAL”
“dispensation of grace” to some large degree. The weekly plundering of the flock cannot be justified in the
Writings at all. There is no “law” requiring anyone to attend a weekly assembly either, but
Catholicism instituted a Sun-day attendance ordinance which made it a “mortal sin” if one missed
it. We are not to forsake the “assembling of ourselves”, but this is speaking of the 3 annual appointed times
(Passover, Shabuoth, and Sukkot / Tabernacles), not a weekly regulation. Even some of these are only binding on
males 20 years old or over. Synagogues are places to study the Torah, Prophets, and Writings to educate people,
proselytes as well. The Mashiach’s real “religion” is called “Judaism”, or more accurately Yahudaism, the worship
of Yah. Many are shocked to learn He is a Rabbi; but it is even more disturbing to realize He is not even a
Christian! He never practiced ~ nor does He now ~ anything that Christianity practices. He is not a Catholic,
Baptist, Pentecostal, Mormon, or Presbyterian; but He is an orthodox Rabbi of the sect of the Nazarenes.
The fact that He is about to return and rule the Earth is not a common message you hear, yet we are told to comfort
one another with this knowledge, as we see the day approaching (1 Thess. 4:18). At His return, those who died
awaiting Him whose names are written in the Scroll of Life (the one with the 7 seals) will be resurrected. Then, we
who are alive will be changed; so fast, it will be like the wink of your eyelids, 1 Cor. 15:52. The rest will be
caught by surprise. This will be when the elements will be burned, 2 Pet. 3:7.
You already realize that Santa Claus is not in the Writings, but how did this character get mixed into the stew? A
character which has many faces to many people, this enigmatic illusion inspires all ages. Ancient Shamanic cave
drawings, Pagan Germanic deities, places of cold and heat alike ~ all have this faceless and nameless one in common
since long before history was recorded. Or at least the knowledge extends over the sighthorizon of our knowledge
about the past. WHO he is was passed down to us from a story from the early Norsemen. That is only true of the
English world, because other language groups have a shared cultural memory or such a character as our Santa Claus
also. You only get the latest “echo of what the character was, because the last major change in him happened within
the last 70 years ~ one generation, or span of an average life. At adulthood, when it is realized that it’s all
fiction, most continue to lie to their children, and the cycle continues.
The whole objective of Nimrod worship, and the character of Santa Claus, seems to be intended to divert our
worshipbaway from Father hwhy. Even the cycle of Easter and Christmas itself is the adversary’s design, so it’s
really “satanism” in disguise. When a person turns away from these things, other cultural pressures are brought
into play, and the name “Scrooge” is often applied to them. As you “read” this book, it is “sweet” because you are
getting your curiosity for the Truth satisfied; but as you “digest” it, it turns your stomach sour, doesn’t it?
Read Revelation 10:7-11. Most of mankind is worshipping Nimrod still, but they don’t know it. Incredible effort is
expended by most everyone to conform to the adversary’s hidden agendas, but they don’t see it happening. The whole
world is deceived. There is a war going on against the Truth! The vast majority believe that in the beginning,
there was nothing; then, it exploded. Rain weathered rocks, and in solution developed into the building blocks of
life, and eventually became biophysicists, who believe they came from a rock. The second largest rock-carving in
the world, Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota, depicts the faces of George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln (each about 18 meters high). If you ask one of the evolutionists
if they think the universe could ever randomly create such a formation by itself, over ANY period of time, they
will logically admit it to be impossible. Yet, they believe the universe COULD randomly create the actual men
depicted on the rock! The adversary wants people to believe there is no Designer, and this helps him because he can
go about manipulating us, because most believe he doesn’t exist either.
