Hebrew Nation Online | Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio – Avi Ben Mordechai

On this Episode 86 of Real Israel Talk Radio and Defining Biblical Love Part 22, let us continue with the series of statements that Paul makes  in 1 Corinthians 13 verse 7 saying that Biblical Love “believes all things.”  

Today, we’ll take a closer look into the Hebrew letters giving us the word “et.” These two letters in Hebrew will show us THE TRUTH of John 5:37-38 as this is linked to Hebrews 4:1-3, Exodus 15:11, Isaiah 9:6, and Hosea 5:11.  On this podcast, we will learn that reading scripture is no guarantee for salvation and deliverance. Rather, it is scripture that points us to the Savior who is found in the expression and meaning of the Aleph Tav (Greek: the Alpha and the Omega). Scripture shows us that it was the Aleph Tav who did his works of wonders (Hebrew: “payleh” – Pey, Lamed, Aleph in Isaiah 9:6) in the midst of the wilderness wanderings of the Hebrew nation after being rescued from their Egyptian bonds of slavery. In rejecting this Aleph Tav (Greek: Alpha and Omega), the Hebrew nation found itself merely hearing THE WORD but not doing THE WORD (see Ya’acov or James 1:22-25). This came to be the basis for a brief theological treatment as recorded for us in Hebrews 4:1-3, the very same message that Yeshua himself spoke about in John 5:39.

All of this background gives us the packaging for Paul’s lesson on biblical love in 1 Corinthians 13:7 that Love is All-Believing.” We’ll have a look at all this and so much more on today’s episode of Defining Biblical Love and the Works of the Aleph Tav.

On this Episode 85 of Real Israel Talk Radio Defining Biblical Love Part 21, let’s continue with the series of statements that Paul makes  in 1 Corinthians 13 verse 7 saying that Biblical Love “believes all things.”  What is this supposed to mean? That I can believe the Earth is round? That I can believe the Earth is flat? That I can believe that a little chicken said that the sky was falling? That can I can believe the Moon is made of cheese? So, what does it even mean to be a Believer?

Today, with 1 Corinthians 13:7 and“Love believes all things,”  Paul opens up a whole line of reasoning that essentially says that to be a Believer, it has a very specific meaning.

On today’s podcast, we’ll tackle some issues such as:

We’ll have a look at all this and more on today’s episode of Defining Biblical Love. Come learn about Paul’s Love Chapter — 1 Corinthians 13.

On this Episode 84 of Real Israel Talk Radio Defining Biblical Love Part 20, I will begin with the series of statements that Paul makes  in 1 Corinthians 13:7 saying that Biblical Love bears all things. Really? What is this supposed to mean? That I’m just supposed take whatever someone dishes out to me, I suppose especially if the person decides to be mean and nasty? Hmm. Well, let’s have a look into this matter and get some direction from scripture.

Previously, we learned that YHVH (Yehovah) is NEVER happy if a living soul chooses to remain with the iniquity that was first introduced to Eve in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:2, resulting in a catastrophic event due to Genesis 3:6 and Genesis 3:22.

Beginning with 1 Corinthians 13:7, “Love bears all things,” Paul opens up a whole line of reasoning that begins with basically taking what gets dished out to us. Well, that seems like a pretty raw deal. Recall some of Yeshua’s most difficult words for us as recorded in the context of Luke 6:27-37:

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either…But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same… For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. 

Well, I admit that this is a pretty lofty menu of teachings that certainly does not come easy for me and I suspect, not for anyone, period.

On this Episode 83 of Real Israel Talk Radio Defining Biblical Love Part 19, I will be explaining the second half of a statement that Paul makes in 1 Corinthians 13:6 saying, Love Rejoices in the Truth. Well then, what IS truth? It seems to me that this idea is highly subjective based on what can often be called “cultural relativity.”

Previously, we learned that YHVH (Yehovah) is NEVER happy if a living soul chooses to remain with the iniquity that was first introduced to Eve in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:2, resulting in a catastrophic event due to Genesis 3:6 and Genesis 3:22. On this program, we’ll tackle the subject that Yehovah rejoices in the Truth. This can only refer to one thing: One Absolute Truth.

According to the Gospel narrative in John 18:38, Pilatus (Pilate) responded to Yeshua’s statement that his objective was to bear witness to THE TRUTH. This was said to get Pilate thinking about his definitions and therefore Pilate’s response to Yeshua was: “What is truth?” For Roman Governor Pilatus, the idea of truth was simply a cultural term of relativity based on his life in Roman culture. In other words, for Pilate, truth was a term of cultural relativity to how each person perceives “their truth” in this life but not so with Yeshua’s definition. For Yeshua, truth is not at all a term of cultural relativity but rather one absolute truth, period. For Yeshua, it was quite specific because it’s about Messiah The Person, rather than just an idea based on one’s viewpoints at the moment. And then, in Hebrew and in Greek, the term “truth” actually comes with a definite article to refers to someone specific; one who is called THE TRUTH because in the Bible, there is only ONE TRUTH and the idea is NOT an “it” but a “he”; that is,  Messiah the King.

We’ll learn the many scriptural details of this idea and so much more as it relates to man’s redemption, salvation, and judgment in this upcoming podcast. We’ll also learn about THE TRUTH as he relates to Pharaoh as a ruler, to Israel as a stiff-necked people, and to Orpah, the sister-in-law to Ruth the Moabite as a free-flowing, stubborn woman. We’ll also learn about THE TRUTH as this absolute biblical idea relates to Yeshua who comes to resurrect his friend Lazarus four days after he passed away! There is a lot to know about THE TRUTH in scripture.

Our continuation from the previous podcast addressing 1 Corinthians 13:6 and the statement that Love does not rejoice in iniquity. So, what exactly is this supposed to mean? This is Real Israel Talk Radio on Defining Biblical Love Part 18 Episode 82.

To answer the statement, “Love does not rejoice in iniquity,”  our first objective is to Hebraically define iniquity (for greater detail, listen to Defining Iniquity in the Bible from Real Israel Talk Radio on March 28, 2020, Episode 11).

YHVH (Yehovah) is NEVER happy if a living soul of iniquity (one who remains unredeemed from original Adamic sin in Genesis 3:6) chooses his/her own destruction to be cast into the fires of the Second Death based on the Hebrew of Genesis 2:17. This is a concept that Yeshua addressed in Matthew 13:30 saying, …And at the time of (the final) harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them….’

This place was always remembered for the Jewish pagan sacrifices to the god molech in the Hinnom Valley of ancient Jerusalem. Consequently, it came to be identified in the Jewish psyche as Geyhinnom  – ‘Hell Valley’ (see Jeremiah 7:31).  This later gave rise to our English term “Hell,” borrowed from the Greek idea of a fiery underworld referred to as Hades. Yeshua was quite clear concerning this place of burning fires that Revelation 2:11 calls the ‘second death’ as it is further written about in Matthew 10:28 –“…And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Heb: Geyhinom, see Jeremiah 7:31).

However, YHVH (Yehovah) does not take pleasure in condemning any soul to these fires as it is written in Ezekiel 18:32, “For why should you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says Yehovah Elohim. “Therefore, turn and live!” However, because Yehovah does not, nor can he rejoice in iniquity, therefore, an unredeemed soul cannot benefit from Yeshua’s redemption if one so chooses to enter into this path of soulish destruction. It is not Yehovah’s fault if one chooses Death instead of Life as we learn from John 3:18, “He who believes in him (Yehovah) is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the unique Son of Elohim.”

On this podcast, we will look into 1 Corinthians 13:6 and Paul’s statement that “Love does not rejoice in iniquity.”  This will show us a lot about how much true love cost Yehovah to satisfy the legality of his judgment and, therefore, costs us the same when we desire to walk in the Love that he gives to us, which also means that we too must not rejoice in iniquity as Yehovah himself does not rejoice in iniquity.

Join us today for our podcast Episode 82 of Real Israel Talk Radio and Part 18 of Defining Biblical Love. 

A continuation from our previous podcast on 1 Corinthians 13:6 and Paul’s statement that divine biblical love does not rejoice in iniquity.

When we are born into this world, all of us come pre-wired with the spiritual DNA from the same father – Nachash (Genesis 3:1) also called the Serpent and the Devil. Indeed, he IS OUR SPIRITUAL FATHER whether we know it, like it or not. Hence, when we are born into this “Before Life” – as opposed to our wait for an “After Life,” we certainly do not know how to love because we are not “wired” for it. This is precisely why Yeshua said that we must be BORN FROM ABOVE as he also said this to Nicodemus in John 3:3 and 3:7.

Our natural inclination is to love our fallen human condition, a nature that is happy with iniquity (“ahvon” in Hebrew). This explains why Paul so accurately wrote these words with his New Covenant thinking-mind – the Mind of Messiah.

On this podcast, we will look into the DNA of our Father, the Serpent of Genesis chapter three. The story of the Serpent’s DNA is going to show us a lot about how much true love can and will cost us when we desire to Walk in Love which also means to Walk in the Spirit.  We’ll find out more about this today.

Join us today for our podcast Episode 81 of Real Israel Talk Radio and Defining Biblical Love Program Part 17.

This podcast continues our previous lesson from 1 Corinthians 13:6 and Paul’s statement that divine biblical love does not rejoice in iniquity. What exactly does this mean? Well, I can tell you one thing that it means: Oy! Mama Mia! It is so expensive. It is going to cost us a lot and it will definitely bring out the worst in our fallen human nature, that’s for certain!

On our podcast today, we will begin with Jeremiah 42:5 which will then give us a text to compare it with in Exodus 20:5. We’ll then look at John 8:31-32 when Yeshua said,“If you abide (live) in My Word (in the Word to Me), you are my disciples indeed and you shall Know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you free” and compare this to Proverbs 29:18, as I would understand it from the Hebrew:

“With nothing of any vision (no Word of Spiritual Revelation), he is person who runs loose, wild, free, disheveled, and out of control (Hebrew: Pey Resh Ayin); however, in guarding the Law (the Torah), he has rejoicing or happiness!”

This brings me to a statement: biblical love is so costly and so terribly expensive and Paul kind of addresses this in 1 Corinthians 13:6 when he says that love does not rejoice in iniquity. Well, tell this to your fallen human nature; you will most certainly get into an argument with your flesh when you try to order it to submit to the desire of your inner New Man in Messiah.

Also, on this podcast, we will have a look into the overall context of the Book of Job and its sad no-love story that is given to us to read about. Certainly for Job, with friends like this, who needs enemies? This is what I might be thinking. The “Job” story is going to show us a lot about how much true love can and will cost us when we learn about the real meaning behind the English term “prayer.” Yes, praying and making judgments in love are two related ideas in Hebrew. We’ll find out about that today.

This podcast continues with our previous lessons from 1 Corinthians 13:5 and Paul’s statements that divine biblical love does not seek its own, does not provoke, and does not keep a running account of wrongs done. What exactly does all of this mean? 

Today, we’ll address the laws and rules of religion, Jewish and non-Jewish faiths and oftentimes how we cope with those who challenge our viewpoints. And why would this happen? I think because some of our challenging viewpoints are really not at all done in love though we might think otherwise. How can we know if we are in fact thinking, saying, or doing something IN LOVE?

The one thing about what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 13:5-6 is that we seem to give ourselves permission to essentially trample over someone’s personal space and/or boundary by requiring that each person that we come into contact with; that they submit to a review of our careful scrutiny and examination involving their thinking, their words, and/or their actions. We puff ourselves up with a proven pride to help others pass our divine inspection and if they challenge it, then we challenge them unto a duel to the death.

Are we to be YHVH’s thought police or local community fruit inspectors? And to what end is our standard of judgment? Perhaps to be less stringent with ourselves and more stringent with others (see Matthew 23:1-2)? – Perhaps conversely, we might put ourselves under a more stringent kind of self scrutiny and self inspection in hopes that we prove worthy to receive a divine passing grade for our attempted saintliness in the eyes of Almighty Eternal One. NO, I’m sorry but divine love does not work this way, at least, not the love that I understand from scripture.

Join us today for our podcast Episode 79 of Real Israel Talk Radio and Defining Biblical Love Program Part 15.

This podcast continues the lesson that I spoke about on the previous program. English translations of Leviticus 19:18 tell us this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself, I am YHVH.”  However, I don’t think this is an accurate expression taken from the Hebrew text. In my opinion, a better rendering should be this way:

Leviticus 19:18 – I AM (the source of) YOUR LOVE, TO (or towards)YOUR NEIGHBOUR, AS (like) HE (Messiah) IS (also) UNTO YOU.

This is the lesson that Yeshua taught as the second greatest “commandment” (divine connection) in Matthew 22:34-40. This command is not about loving ourself. Rather, this command is about loving our neighbor in the same way that YHVH loves us.

Within the context of the first half of this podcast, we will also have a look at John 20:22, He (Yeshua) breathed on them (His disciples, after his resurrection) and told them to receive the Holy Spirit. Yeshua’s breathing action mimics the same action that brought Adam into his spiritual life in Genesis 2:7. Thus, we will have a look at the two Hebrew terms “Nephesh” = Spirit and “Neshamah” = Soul.

On the second half of this podcast, we will continue with our study of 1 Corinthians 13 and Paul’s statements that divine biblical love does not seek its own and does not provoke. What exactly does all of this mean? We’ll have a look at the Greek and Hebrew that translates to this English word “provoke.”

Join us for today’s podcast about true love; that it does not feed on itself nor does it provoke to an emotional, physical, or spiritual sword fight for control over another nor does it call out to an opponent for a duel-to-the-death retribution with an objective to Go ahead and Make My Day!  When  we make it all about us instead of about YHVH, it reverses all that is important to Yehovah but never does he remove our freedom of choice with an anger that really chaps his hide.

HOW SHOULD WE UNDERSTAND THESE TWO BIBLICAL LAWS?

In the Bible, “Love” expresses itself in a very specific way and we would do well to apply it and live it out, because biblical love, as it is written about in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Leviticus 19:18, and taught by Yeshua in Matthew 22:34-40 is not about loving yourself in order to love your neighbor.

Biblical love is always about giving and passing it on from the source of all love that is given to us. However, before this can happen, we must receive YHVH’s Love. Therefore, Yeshua taught (Matthew 10:8), “Freely you have received, freely give.”  This is the basis from the Word of God for the biblical lesson of Leviticus 19:18 as I think it should be understood from Hebrew grammar and context: “I AM THE SOURCE OF YOUR LOVE TO/TOWARDS YOUR NEIGHBOUR, AS/LIKE HE (MESSIAH) IS UNTO YOU.”

Therefore, biblical love is NOT ABOUT first loving yourself; biblical love is about divine Love that is first given to us and then by receiving it, we are to give it out.
