When it comes to God’s instructions on how to draw near to Him by being undefiled in our life we know that God is continually bringing us to live more sanctified and holy in our life (not less) and to be more purified as a bride without spot or blemish prepared to meet the bridegroom when he comes. Since God does not change and he has instructed us that eating unclean foods is not only defiling but also an abomination to him (Lev. 11), we cannot surmise that the revelation given to Peter is going to undermine God’s word which is established forever.
Many know that one of the most important activities that is part of the traditional preparation for Passover is the elimination of anything that has leaven (Hebrew: hametz) in it the week before… but why is this so important? LEAVEN What is it and how do we keep the feast of unleavened bread? What is…
In light of this week’s Torah portion Vayikra, I thought I would post this question someone wrote us about the sacrificial system for you to meditate on… Question: Can I ask you why YHVH asks for sacrifices? If he cannot change, how can he change this system of death He gave? Some say he did…
God is Omniscient (all knowing), Omnipresent (everywhere at all times as He is Spirit) and Omnipotent (all powerful and unable to die)… Yeshua is not omniscient, omnipotent, nor omnipresent. Yeshua is a man and referred to himself as a “son of man”.

Was God’s Law done away with? Let’s find out what scripture says!
In my love for studying the Dead Sea Scrolls I have come across a very interesting ancient manuscript from Cave 4 of the Qumran caves which reveals a unique view into the character of God versus the character of the Fallen Angels… The Testament of Amram Dead Sea Scroll (4Q535, Manuscript B) is written from…
Christmas is soon approaching—the season when much of the world erroneously celebrates the miracle birth of Yeshua (known to the Christian world as Jesus)… However, the great miracle of the Word made flesh did not begin with the birth but with the conception of Yeshua… and another celebration remembering the dedication of the Temple of Yah… Hanukkah!
Below is a teaching on how Scripture consistently reveals that true salvation involves an inner cleansing, a purification of heart and life, and that each individual has a choice to walk in that purification. This stands in contrast to the notion that mere intellectual belief—without repentance, obedience, and transformation—is sufficient. True Salvation as Inner Purification Many…
In light of God having “called out” Avraham in this week’s Torah parashah Lech Lecha, you may be surprised to find the many scriptural references to God calling out His assembly from the earliest of times… If you are being called out of something, you are naturally being called from something to something.
