Ya'akov - An Inductive Study of the Book of James - #14 - The Royal Law

Ya'akov - An Inductive Study of the Book of James - Session 13 - Condemnation of Partiality #2

What is discipleship about? What does it look like in your life? How does it relate to being in covenant? What are you willing or not willing to do as a disciple?

Continuing the topic of the “Covenant of Salt”, Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches vital principles about discipleship and how Yeshua ties being his disciple with the “Covenant of Salt”.

Then, moving to Deuteronomy 4 Rabbi Steve shows us that at a point in time Abba showed us The Covenant, taught it to us through his appointed-anointed and let us know that we are not to add to or take away from it.

Wars of Kings is a foundation for using the template of the first Exodus known as the "Wars of Kings" to understand the Greater Exodus and the accompanying plagues in the Book of Revelation. Go to the first segment of the Wars from last week. Last week's teaching explained the template and the plague on the waters, and this week's teaching will complete the rest of the plagues, providing examples from our time to connect with the texts.

Parsha "Re'eh" (Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17) begins with the single word "Behold!" Or, more simply, in the modern English, just "See." Which is what most of xtianity has refused to do for at least 1700 years now. And it's pretty easy to actually read this one, and see why.

The Erev Shabbat reading and commentary of the entire parsha makes the MULTIPLE reasons for that clear:

One of the elements which cannot be ignored (but, somehow, still is...) is the level of disgust that YHVH makes clear that He has for practices rooted in idolatry. The text goes well beyond even saying that He hates them. And He certainly repeats the point, a LOT, but especially in this portion.

But what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship frequently refers to as the 'whore church' has been doing precisely what He so vehemently forbids for seventeen centuries. Why is this message so poignant NOW? And that is where the emphasis this time around is different.

This week it's not enough to note that the Torah portion comes right from today's news.

The key is Deuteronomy 13 verse 3, and again in 7, and again in verse 14 -- and Yahuah clearly Writes that it includes a death penalty:

If someone - anyone, even someone we love dearly - says, "let's go and serve other gods," it's not enough just to NOT consent to it, or even pity, spare, or conceal the traitor.

The problem, though seems to depend on just what that means. Certainly, "adding in" pagan practices that He forbids (from bunnies and eggs to xmas trees to sun-god-day, arguably) are, at least to those who finally see it, abominable to Him. But, "He knows my heart," we've all heard. Yeah, and it's "deceitful above all, and desperately wicked."

Now, however, there's another whole dimension to consider. And that's where we look now.

Fake gods aren't just made of "wood, and stone," and metal. The great god Science, and its high priest Fauci, are obvious. And now, the Next Generation of idolatry is silicon. Even mRNA, nanomaterials, and 'wetware.'

There is a lot of 'food for thought' in this parsha, and it could not be more urgent, for reasons He has made clear for centuries, but perhaps not to the degree we should expect.

"Re-eh: It is about Who is to be Master - that is all"

The combined two-part teaching is here:

Good is the enemy of Best! Our Heavenly Father has designed for us the best way to live, yet we so often take what may appear to be a "good" way. So many times, in the process of walking that choice out, we are shown how wrong that choice was and how far it took us from the plans and purposes our Heavenly Father had designed for us. We are promised in Psalm 28 that if we will stay true to our Heavenly Father, He will work out our lives for our best and for what He created us for. Those who know their God, will perform great exploits! Abba, give us the eyes to see Your Reality and the ears to hear Your voice guiding us through these perilous times.

"Those who would make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."

-- JFK

And they're working REAL hard on it.

But there's a far better solution.

Special guest Dr. Jeff Prystupa joins host Mark Call for a wide-ranging discussion of what might be some of the "most important Come-out-of-her priorities" now, with a special emphasis on those things that have to do directly with our health, or threats to it.
