The men had a great time at the Mikvah last
Shabbat. Anyone like to share about it?
5
In 3 weeks Ill be teaching Prayer For The
Palestinian Problem. Its my most well known
teaching, Ive been sharing it for about 24 years
now.
6
The teaching is a run down of what is really
happening between Israel and the Palestinians. It
makes it easy to understand what the situation
over there is actually about and what the
Israelis are up against. Its very political in
nature (non religious) and leaves no room for
misunderstanding the true motives of the players
in the region.
7
Having lived in Israel as many years as I have I
give first hand information as to how many of the
PLO factions were born and their motives. I
produce documents that were given to me by
friends in the Israeli Government that show the
true nature of the conflict. It is a report you
wont want to miss. Please invite your unsaved
friends, theyll appreciate it.
8
The local JCA (Jewish Charities of America)
office realized that the organization had never
received a donation from the town's most
successful lawyer. The person in charge of
contributions called him to persuade him to
contribute.
9
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income
of at least 500,000, you give not a penny to
charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the
community in some way?"
10
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and
replied, "First, did your research also show that
my mother is dying after a long illness, and has
medical bills that are several times her annual
income?"Embarrassed, the JCA rep mumbled, "Um
... no."
11
The lawyer interrupted, "or that my brother, a
disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a
wheelchair?"The stricken JCA rep began to
stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
12
"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic
accident," the lawyer's voice rising in
indignation, "leaving her penniless with three
children?!"
13
The humiliated JCA rep, completely beaten, said
"I had no idea..."The lawyer cut him off once
again
14
"So if I don't give any money to them, why should
I give any to you?"

On the morning of the third day there was
thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over
the mountain, and there was the sounding of a
very loud SHOFAR blast. Everyone in the camp
trembled.
18
Please stand for the Shema and face east towards
Jerusalem.

Because Messiah said it is the greatest
Commandment! Mark 1228-29 28 And one of the
scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
together, and perceiving that He had answered
them well, asked Him, Which is the greatest
commandment of all? 29 And Yeshua answered him,
The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O
Israel The Lord our God is One Lord

We say the L-rds Prayer (Our Prayer) because
Yeshua told us this is how we should pray. We
pray so G-d will hear our petitions and grant
whichever prayers are in accord with His will.
We also pray In order to bless Him. Matt will be
leading us today.

How does one identify with Israel? Many different
ways. 1. Praying for it 2. Empathizing with
it 3. Becoming it.

You certainly dont become it by forsaking her
Laws and precepts (rule of action).

Deuteronomy 712-1125 Isaiah 4914-513 Acts 6-7

61

62
Aug 13, 2011 Ve'etchanan "And I besought"
Deuteronomy 323-711 Isaiah 401-26 Acts 3-5

Well read
Deuteronomy 41-14 Isaiah 401-26 Acts 31-10
63
Deuteronomy 41-14
1 "Now, Isra'el, listen to the laws and rulings I
am teaching you, in order to follow them, so that
you will live then you will go in and take
possession of the land that ADONAI, the God of
your fathers, is giving you. 2 In order to obey
the mitzvot of ADONAI your God which I am giving
you, do not add to what I am saying, and do not
subtract from it.

64
Deuteronomy 41-14
3 You saw with your own eyes what ADONAI did at
Ba'al-P'or, that ADONAI destroyed from among you
all the men who followed Ba'al-P'or 4 but you
who stuck with ADONAI your God are still alive
today, every one of you. 5 Look, I have taught
you laws and rulings, just as ADONAI my God
ordered me, so that you can behave accordingly in
the land where you are going in order to take
possession of it.

65
Deuteronomy 41-14
6 Therefore, observe them and follow them for
then all peoples will see you as having wisdom
and understanding. When they hear of all these
laws, they will say, 'This great nation is surely
a wise and understanding people.' 7 For what
great nation is there that has God as close to
them as ADONAI our God is, whenever we call on
him? 8 What great nation is there that has laws
and rulings as just as this entire Torah which I
am setting before you today?

66
Deuteronomy 41-14
9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves
diligently as long as you live, so that you won't
forget what you saw with your own eyes, so that
these things won't vanish from your hearts.
Rather, make them known to your children and
grandchildren -

67
Deuteronomy 41-14
10 the day you stood before ADONAI your God at
Horev, when ADONAI said to me, 'Gather the people
to me, and I will make them hear my very words,
so that they will learn to hold me in awe as long
as they live on earth, and so that they will
teach their children.'

68
Deuteronomy 41-14
11 You approached and stood at the foot of the
mountain and the mountain blazed with fire to
the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds and
thick mist. 12 Then ADONAI spoke to you out of
the fire! You heard the sound of words but saw no
shape, there was only a voice.

69
Deuteronomy 41-14
13 He proclaimed his covenant to you, which he
ordered you to obey, the Ten Words and he wrote
them on two stone tablets. 14 At that time ADONAI
ordered me to teach you laws and rulings, so that
you would live by them in the land you are
entering in order to take possession of it.

70
Is. 401-26
1 "Comfort and keep comforting my people," says
your God. 2 "Tell Yerushalayim to take heart
proclaim to her that she has completed her time
of service, that her guilt has been paid off,
that she has received at the hand of ADONAI
double for all her sins." 3 A voice cries out
"Clear a road through the desert for ADONAI!
Level a highway in the 'Aravah for our God!

71
Is. 401-26
4 Let every valley be filled in, every mountain
and hill lowered, the bumpy places made level and
the crags become a plain. 5 Then the glory of
ADONAI will be revealed all humankind together
will see it, for the mouth of ADONAI has spoken."
6 A voice says, "Proclaim!" And I answer, "What
should I proclaim?" "All humanity is merely
grass, all its kindness like wildflowers

72
Is. 401-26
7 the grass dries up, the flower fades, when a
wind from ADONAI blows on it. Surely the people
are grass! 8 The grass dries up, the flower
fades but the word of our God will stand
forever." 9 You who bring good news to Tziyon,
get yourself up on a high mountain you who bring
good news to Yerushalayim, cry out at the top of
your voice! Don't be afraid to shout out loud!
Say to the cities of Y'hudah, "Here is your God!
10 Here comes Adonai ELOHIM with power, and his
arm will rule for him. Look! His reward is with
him, and his recompense is before him.

73
Is. 401-26
11 He is like a shepherd feeding his flock,
gathering his lambs with his arm, carrying them
against his chest, gently leading the mother
sheep." 12 Who has counted the handfuls of water
in the sea, measured off the sky with a ruler,
gauged how much dust there is on the earth,
weighed the mountains on scales, or the hills in
a balance?

74
Is. 401-26
13 Who has measured the Spirit of ADONAI? Who has
been his counselor, instructing him? 14 Whom did
he consult, to gain understanding? Who taught him
how to judge, taught him what he needed to know,
showed him how to discern? 15 The nations are
like a drop in a bucket, they count like a grain
of dust on the scales. The islands weigh as
little as specks of dust.

75
Is. 401-26
16 The L'vanon would not suffice for fuel or its
animals be enough for burnt offerings. 17 Before
him all the nations are like nothing. He regards
them as less than nothing. 18 With whom, then,
will you compare God? By what standard will you
evaluate him? 19 An image made by a craftsman,
which a goldsmith overlays with gold, for which
he then casts silver chains?

76
Is. 401-26
20 A man too poor to afford an offering chooses a
piece of wood that won't rot, then seeks out a
skilled artisan to prepare an image that won't
fall over. 21 Don't you know? Don't you hear?
Haven't you been told from the start? Don't you
understand how the earth is set up? 22 He who
sits above the circle of the earth - for whom its
inhabitants appear like grasshoppers - stretches
out the heavens like a curtain, spreads them out
like a tent to live in.

77
Is. 401-26
23 He reduces princes to nothing, the rulers of
the earth to emptiness. 24 Scarcely are they
planted, scarcely sown, scarcely their stem taken
root in the ground, when he blows on them, they
dry up, and the whirlwind carries them off like
straw. 25 "With whom, then, will you compare me?
With whom am I equal?" asks the Holy One.

78
Is. 401-26
26 Turn your eyes to the heavens! See who created
these? He brings out the army of them in
sequence, summoning each by name. Through his
great might and his massive strength, not one of
them is missing. END

79
Acts 31-10
1 One afternoon at three o'clock, the hour of
minchah prayers, as Kefa and Yochanan were going
up to the Temple, 2 a man crippled since birth
was being carried in. Every day people used to
put him at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, so
that he could beg from those going into the
Temple court.

80
Acts 31-10
3 When he saw Kefa and Yochanan about to enter,
he asked them for some money. 4 But they stared
straight at him and Kefa said, "Look at us!" 5
The crippled man fixed his attention on them,
expecting to receive something from them.

81
Acts 31-10
6 Kefa said, "I don't have silver, and I don't
have gold, but what I do have I give to you in
the name of the Messiah, Yeshua of Natzeret,
walk!" 7 And taking hold of him by his right
hand, Kefa pulled him up. Instantly his feet and
ankles became strong

82
Acts 31-10
8 so that he sprang up, stood a moment, and began
walking. Then he entered the Temple court with
them, walking and leaping and praising God! 9
Everyone saw him walking and praising God.

83
Acts 31-10
10 They recognized him as the same man who had
formerly sat begging at the Beautiful Gate of the
Temple, and they were utterly amazed and
confounded at what had happened to him.

gave to us His Torah. Blessed are You, LORD,

  • Were doing the second part of our Messianic
    Apologetics Class Messianic Pepper Spray


90
  • What were doing in this teaching is were
    answering typical questions or accusations put to
    Messianics and refuting them using Scripture and
    common sense.


91
  • Last time we ended by leaving the non-messianic
    believer with the fact that he didnt even know
    what the Gospel is.


92
  • Knowing what the Gospel is is fundamental and you
    need to show them that they havent even been
    taught that at Church.


93
  • Heres how we started that part of the
    conversation


94
My reply Can you tell me one simple thing then,
the one thing you should know beyond a shadow of
a doubt what is the Gospel?

95
Non-Messianic I know what the Gospel is! My
reply Then tell me.

96
Non-Messianic The Gospel is that Jesus came and
died for my sins and was then resurrected that I
may have eternal life.

97
My reply No it isnt and I can prove itJesus
called James and John to follow Him in Mathew
chapter 4 22And they immediately left the ship
and their father, and followed him.

98
  My reply 23And 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.

99
  My reply This is the very beginning of Mathew.
Jesus hadnt revealed to anyone that He was
going to die let alone rise from the dead for
their sins. So obviously, the Gospel has nothing
to do with his death and resurrection.

100
My reply Did you know that no one knew He was
going to die in the beginning? Non-Messianic
Yes, I did know that. After His death it says in
John 20 verse 9

101
Non-Messianic 9 They still did not understand
from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the
dead.  

102
My reply Right, so now you realize that you
dont even know what the Gospel is. Its one of
the very fundamentals of our faith and you
havent been taught the truth about it.

103
Non-Messianic Ok so what is the Gospel? My
reply How long have you been a
Christian? Non-Messianic All my life. My reply
Would you attend a Church where the Pastor
doesnt even know what the Gospel is???

104
Non-Messianic Absolutely not! My reply Does
YOUR Pastor know what the gospel
is? Non-Messianic Im sure he does.

105
My reply Lets give him a call, cause Id love
to know if your Pastor knows what the Gospel
is. Pastor Hello?

106
Non-Messianic Hi Pastor, I have a quick question
for you. Pastor Sure what is it? Non-Messianic
What is the Gospel. Pastor Oh thats easy, its
that Jesus came and died for our sins.

107
Non-Messianic Well, Pastor, in Chapter 4 of
Mathew right when Jesus selected James and John
to follow him it says right after that Jesus went
all through the Galilee preaching the Gospel. But
Jesus hadnt revealed that He was going to die
yet.

108
Pastor Hmm, good question, let me find out and
Ill get back to ya. Non-Messianic Ok thanks.

109
My reply What did he say. Non-Messianic He said
hed get back to me. My reply So he didnt know
off the top of his head what the Gospel was?

110
Non-Messianic Um, I guess not. My reply Does he
teach that youre supposed to give ten percent, a
tithe, of what you make to the Church? Non-Messian
ic Yeah

111
My reply Right, so he knows about that, but this
whole Gospel thing is out of his league. Hmm, how
bout that? Do you believe you should be
following a Pastor who doesnt know what the
Gospel is right off the top of his
head? Non-Messianic Probably not. So tell me
what it is then!

112
My reply The Gospel is Jesus Mishna. Non-Messian
ic His what? My reply His Mishna. Non-Messianic
Whats that mean?

113
My reply In the first century, it was customary
for Rabbis to seek out Disciples. That marked the
beginning of their ministry. Those disciples
would then begin to memorize the teachings of
that Rabbi and then pass it on to their students
when they became Rabbis.

114
My reply This would go on from generation to
generation. These teachings they passed on was
called their Mishna.

115
My reply The Disciples of Jesus were no
different in this regard. They were expected to
memorize His words and teach what He taught. And
they did exactly that. They wrote all this
information down and today it is called The
Gospels.

116
My reply Once Jesus secured his first Disciples
He was then able to correct any false teachings
that had strayed into Judaism since the time of
Moses and the Prophets.

117
My reply The Jews had been waiting for an
Authority such as this for many years. When it
finally came, it was good news, it was very good
news and thats what gospel means in Greek, good
news.

118
My reply The good news had nothing to do with
his death and resurrection because Yeshua was
preaching the Gospel long before anyone knew what
was going to happen to Him. Non-Messianic Oh,
well, I knew all that. My reply No, you really
didnt you gave me an incorrect answer and that
has to be noted.

119
My reply You didnt even know what a Mishna was
or that the Gospel didnt include the death and
resurrection of Jesus. But its ok, Im not
blaming you, Im blaming those who havent taught
you correctly.

120
Non-Messianic Well, maybe thats all
true butas a Gentile, all I have to keep is the
Ten Commandments. My reply Do you keep
the Ten Commandments? Non-Messianic Yep


121
My reply Actually you dont even keep
all of those, you dont keep the Sabbath so
thats not even a true statement either. Lets
try to keep our answers truthful.
Non-Messianic Are you calling me a liar???
My reply Not at all, Im simply saying let our
yea be yea and our nay be nay.

122
My reply You should know that there are
many other Commandments in the Old Testament that
you keep besides the 9 Commandments you are
keeping. Like the Commandment in Lev.
2017

123
My reply 2017 And if a man shall take
his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she
see his nakedness it is a wicked thing and they
shall be cut off in the sight of their people he
hath uncovered his sister's nakedness he shall
bear his iniquity.

124
My reply This passage is talking about
having sex with ones sister. You also keep that
commandment.

125
  • My reply So, you really cant say the Old
    Testament is done away with, you continue to
    follow parts of it.
  • Non-Messianic Well, thats because theyre
    mentioned in the New Testament.


126
  • My reply Sleeping with ones sister isnt
    mentioned once in the New Testament yet you still
    follow it.
  • So what youre saying is you follow the 9
    commandments and the moral laws.


127
Non-Messianic Well yeah were supposed
to keep those laws. My reply So now we
know the Old Testament isnt done away with,
thats painfully clear. So what other
Laws in the Old Testament do you keep?
Non-Messianic I dont know.

128
My reply Well you know its sin that
separates one from God right?
Non-Messianic Yes My reply Well breaking
one of Gods laws is sin, thats what defines sin

129
  • My reply So shouldnt you know what sins
    youre committing?
  • Non-Messianic Yes
  • My reply So lets recap real quick you
    didnt know what the gospel was and you dont
    know what sins youre committing
  • Again, I dont blame you for any of this, this is
    what youve been taught by your Pastor.


130
Non-Messianic I just do what my Pastor
says and he says all we have to do is ask Jesus
to forgive us and then were ok. My
reply Right and this is the Pastor who doesnt
know what the Gospel is. Non-Messianic
Yeah, but he does speak with authority.

131
  • My reply 1 Timothy 1 says
  • 6 Some have wandered away from these and turned
    to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers
    of the law, but they do not know what they are
    talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
  • When you die, youll be standing before G-d
    alone. Youre Pastor wont be anywhere around.


132
  • My reply Id add, you dont only have to ask
    Jesus to forgive you, you also have to repent and
    make any restitution that needs to be made
  • Non-Messianic Wow, youre a Judahizer!
  • My reply Do you even know what a Judahizer is?


133
  • Non-Messianic Yeah, its someone who believes
    that the Law can save them.
  • My reply No, thats a legalist and Ive made it
    clear that we are Saved by grace. After that we
    are to follow G-ds Laws.


134
  • My reply The way you just used the word legalist
    has made it to mean anyone who follows more of
    G-ds Laws then yourself.


135
  • My reply If that is the definition of legalist
    then anyone who observes 8 of the 10 commandments
    can rightfully call you a legalist because you
    keep more laws then they do


136
  • My reply and anyone who keeps 7 of the Ten
    Commandments can call the person who keeps 8 of
    them a legalist as well. So it all becomes really
    silly then doesnt it.
  • So before you call me any names, make sure you
    know what the word means.


137
  • Non-Messianic Then whats a Judahizer? Because
    Im pretty sure youre one of those!
  • My reply A Judahizer is someone who tells one
    they must first become a Jew and then they can
    get Saved.
  • We teach the opposite, first you get Saved then
    you become a Jew.
  • Were anti-Judahizers.


138
  • Non-Messianic Well, Im a spiritual Jew!
  • My reply A Jew is someone who is one by blood
    line or is one by keeping all of G-ds Laws and
    youre neither of those.
  • In fact heres what it says in Rev. 3


139
  • My reply Rev 39
  • Behold , I will make them of the synagogue of
    Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but
    do lie behold , I will make them to come and
    worship before thy feet, and to know that I have
    loved thee.


140
  • My reply So its really not a good idea to be
    calling yourself a Jew when youre not one.
  • You dont really want to be of the Synagogue of
    Satan do ya?
  • Non-Messianic No.


141
  • Non-Messianic Well, Messianics are nothing but a
    bunch of wanna be Jews anyway.
  • My reply If theyre keeping G-ds Holy Laws,
    they ARE Jews and can rightfully call themselves
    that.
  • Jesus was a Jew too and were supposed to be like
    Him, so shouldnt they want to be like Jesus?


142
  • Non-Messianic The Jews say youre only Jewish if
    your mother is Jewish.
  • My reply That was a Rabbinical law laid down by
    Rabbi Rashi a thousand years after Yeshua was
    here and we dont agree with that Rabbi on this
    matter
  • What G-d said is,


143
  • My reply Im the father of Abraham Isaac and
    Jacob, not Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel.
  • The fact is one who is Jewish by blood is Jewish
    by either side, just like any other race.
  • If your dad is Irish, what does that make you?
  • Non-Messianic Irish.
  • My reply So, you see how common sense can go a
    long way?


144
  • Non-Messianic Galatians 214 says Peter lived
    like a Gentile.
  • My reply Yes, it does say that and then we see
    Paul immediately rebuking him for that and Peter
    then repented.
  • Why did he repent if he wasnt doing something
    wrong?


145
  • Non-Messianic Well when Jesus came we became
    circumcised of the heart.
  • My reply Youre referencing Romans 2 but did you
    know the Old Testament talks about circumcision
    of the heart too?
  • Deut 30 says


146
  • My reply 5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee
    into the land which thy fathers possessed , and
    thou shalt possess it and he will do thee good ,
    and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6 And the
    LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the
    heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with
    all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou
    mayest live.


147
  • My reply So their hearts were circumcised when
    they came into The Land.
  • That was long before Jesus came.
  • So I guess circumcision of the heart isnt a New
    Testament, Gentile thing after all. In fact it
    was started with the Jews.


148
  • Non-Messianic Colossians 2 tells us not to keep
    the Feasts now or the New Moons or to keep
    kosher!
  • 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in
    drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new
    moon, or of the sabbath days 17 Which are a
    shadow of things to come but the body is of
    Christ.


149
  • My reply The Book of Colossians in the New
    Testament was written to Believers in Jesus.
  • He was saying dont let unbelievers judge you for
    keeping G-ds Holy Feasts or New Moons or for
    keeping kosher. In other words, Dont let the
    bad people judge you for doing what is right.
  • Remember, the Bible was written for the good
    people.


150
  • Non-Messianic Romans 320 says Therefore no one
    will be declared righteous in his sight by
    observing the law rather, through the law we
    become conscious of sin.


151
  • My reply Thats right, just keeping the Law
    doesnt do anyone any good. It has to be done
    with the right heart motivation.
  • You have to truly love G-d. But if you love G-d
    you will keep His Commandments. Jesus said, If
    you love Me, keep My Commandments.


152
  • Non-Messianic But Jesus said the Law has been
    done away with.
  • My reply No, actually He said the opposite. He
    said he did not come to abolish the Law.
  • Non-Messianic But to fulfill it!!! So its
    fulfilled now.


153
  • My reply By fulfilled do you mean its done away
    with?
  • Non-Messianic Yes!
  • My reply So youre saying its abolished?
  • Non-Messianic Yes! Um, no... Its fulfilled!!!


154
  • My reply By fulfilled do you mean we dont have
    to do it anymore?
  • Non-Messianic Yes.
  • My reply Then its abolished!
  • Non-Messianic No, well you have to be more
    spiritual to understand it.
  • My reply No, you have to disregard G-d given
    sensibilities to understand it your way because
    Paul said in Romans 7


155
  • My reply 12. So then, the law is holy, and the
    commandment is holy, righteous and good.
  • See, youre describing the law as if it was
    something negative that had to be done away with
    and youve put Law and Grace as opposites. They
    are not opposites but rather they depend on each
    other.


156
  • My reply The Renewed Covanant (New Testament) is
    NOT a better covenant it simply needed to be
    renewed because Israel had broken it in the past.
    Jesus renewed it for those who Believe in Him and
    keep His Laws. If you dont believe in the Old
    Covenant, then you dont believe in the Renewed
    Covenant because they entail the same thing.


157
  • My reply If youve done away with the Old
    Testament, then youve just gotten rid of the New
    Testament and youre lost in sin and confusion.
    Youre looking rather confused right now, would
    you like to lay down?
  • Non-Messianic No Im fine.


158
  • My reply We have to understand that the Law will
    never pass away. Matt 5 says
  • 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
    earth pass , one jot or one tittle shall in no
    wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled .


159
  • Non-Messianic Hasnt the Law been nailed to the
    Cross though?
  • My reply If the Law has been nailed to the Cross
    then that would include the Ten Commandments as
    well. Then that would mean that we can then go
    and murder and steal and you know in your heart
    that cant be true.


160
  • My reply Once we understand what G-ds Laws are
    for, the confusion starts to go away. The Law was
    given for our benefit so that we could live
    longer and happier lives. Why would we want to do
    away with the Law? We have traffic lights here in
    Wenatchee, Im really thankful for that because
    otherwise thered be chaos.


161
  • My reply Traffic lights are man made laws so how
    much better do you think G-ds Holy Laws are? We
    dont even look at it as if we HAVE to keep G-ds
    Laws, we GET to keep G-ds Holy Laws and anyone
    who begins to start keeping them


162
  • My reply can then count themselves as grafted
    into the true Olive Tree and then rightly call
    themselves a part of the Chosen People.
  • Non-Messianic Galatians 310 says the law is a
    curse. 10 For all who rely on the works of the
    law are under a curse


163
  • My reply Thats actually only half of the verse.
    The rest says thisas it is written Cursed is
    everyone who does not continue to do everything
    written in the Book of the Law. The curse isnt
    the Law The curse is what happens to you if you
    break it.


164
  • Non-Messianic But I dont want to be bound to
    the Law.
  • My reply Were all bound to something. Would you
    prefer to be bound by sin? Because thats what
    happens if you break G-ds Laws.
  • Non-Messianic But the Law is such a heavy yoke!
    Jesus said His yoke was easy.


165
  • My reply Anything can become a heavy yoke if
    its not dealt with properly.
  • For example, I love chocolate cake but if I eat
    too much chocolate cake all at once, it becomes
    heavy.
  • G-ds Laws should be taken one step at a time.
    Once youre comfortable with that step, then take
    another.


166
  • My reply There was a small group in the first
    century who were trying to make new converts take
    on all the Laws at once.
  • Thats too much for anyone, even our forefathers
    couldnt bear that. Thats what Acts 1510 is
    talking about when it says


167
  • My reply 10 Now then, why do you try to test God
    by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that
    neither we nor our ancestors have been able to
    bear?
  • As a Jew I grew up learning about the Laws one by
    one, slowly. My dad didnt just throw the whole
    law at me all at once.
  • It was and should be gradual.


168
  • My reply One of the first Laws I like to suggest
    is keeping the Sabbath.
  • Non-Messianic How do I do that?
  • My reply You take a day off.
  • Do you have to work at your job on Saturdays?
  • Non-Messianic No.
  • My reply Perfect then you can start keeping
    G-ds Law concerning the day of rest.


169
  • Non-Messianic But I mow my lawn on Saturdays.
  • My reply Do it on Sunday. Sunday is not a
    commanded day of rest.
  • Non-Messianic What benefit do I get if I keep
    G-ds Laws?
  • My reply Deut 62 says


170
  • My reply 2 so that you, your children and their
    children after them may fear the LORD your God as
    long as you live by keeping all his decrees and
    commands that I give you, and so that you may
    enjoy long life.


171
  • My reply You do this for yourself and for your
    children.
  • If you dont keep G-ds Laws you cant complain
    about your children not following G-d no matter
    how often you pray for them.


172
  • My reply Proverbs 289 "He that turneth away
    his ear from hearing the LAW, even his PRAYER
    shall be an abomination.
  • This is not taught in the Church today but when
    you reject Gods laws he doesnt accept your
    prayers. This is a harsh yet Scriptural reality
    and it effects your children.


173
  • My reply If you keep G-ds Laws its not a
    guarantee that your kids will come to the L-rd
    but if you dont keep His Laws, you have no
    grounds to ask for prayer for your children's
    Salvation.
  • If you want to sit on the fence and not take
    G-ds Laws seriously, your prayers will be an
    abomination unto
  • G-d.


174
  • Non-Messianic Well, its all a lot to think
    about.
  • My reply It is. Weve planted a lot of seed here
    today.


175
  • My reply And Id really suggest that you come to
    Synagogue and hear more about it or call the
    Rabbi cause Im sure hed love to meet you
    because


176
  • My reply we wouldnt want to see the seed that
    was planted in you today to be stolen away by the
    birds and eaten up like the example in Matt 134.
  • Anyway, May G-d be with you as you contemplate
    what weve covered so far.
  • Non-Messianic Thank you.
  • My reply My pleasure.
