Kay’s podcast on Paul being false is long and hope from one out of context scripture to the next.

I love Kay. I think she makes a lot of great points.

And Christianity does not have a righteous or correct argument because they do not understand Kay’s main issue. Does Paul teach against God’s laws?

If you say yes, you’ve just made Paul a false teacher.

Kay says yes.

Christianity says yes.

But does Paul agree?

Let’s look at Kay’s arguments and see…

Let’s talk more about how Western Christianity makes agreement with the doctrines of demons.

And what about Paul? Is he a false prophet? I could and may do an entire podcast on this.

Blessings my friends!

This is part 2 of my series on covenant relationship and where Christianity may be enacting adulterous behaviors toward our Messiah.

Yeah, I know. Sounds judgmental.

But what if it’s true?

If we love the Lord with all of our heart, then we need to stop leaning on our own understanding and let the Bible define relationship for us.

Especially relationship with God.

This discussion about wisdom will bring home the previous podcast and also help to clarify some confusing language in Scripture.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And, I promise, that can be incredibly exciting. It’s a shift, but hopefully one you will look back on as a blessing.

Why does food sacrificed to idols come up so much in the Bible? Why is food so prevalent throughout Yeshua’s teachings?

Why does the Bible teach that food is part of ceremony and covenant and yet, in most Churches, we only get a small/skewed discussion about this with something called, "Communion”?

We are missing something.

In this podcast I deal with common issues around Bible verses in the NT that seem to claim that God no longer cares if we obey some of His commands.

After many conversations with Christians, these are the most commonly used verses to argue against God’s Feast Days, Sabbath days and Food laws.

I hope this will be helpful for those of you who come across these discussions and that you will be able to share these lovingly with Christians who have been taught the laws of God are done away with.

It is mind-blowing how consistent God is and how He leaves beautiful markers for us on our journey through the Bible to teach us concepts that sometimes give us trouble when we are ignoring His symbolism.

The colors used in the Tabernacle, in Creation, and in Yeshua’s teachings tell us exactly what He requires for His covenant people. I could have done SOOOO much more with this, but it was getting long and I will likely do a part 2.

Yes, the laws of God still stand. And the color blue proves it.

Blessings my friends!

This is, by no means, a complete teaching. This is for the beginner and even then, it could have gone a very long time.

Why do the actual holidays of Yeshua matter?

How do we observe them today?

Where do we see them in Scripture?

Why they are different than what Christianity’s traditions teach.

If you are looking to observe the commanded Holidays found in the Bible this year, (and observed by our Messiah), this is a start. In the Bible verses below you will find why we do not sacrifice a lamb on our own, etc. (FYI, You are forbidden to sacrifice anything outside of Jerusalem and without a temple and Priesthood). So keep your Passover observance to what would be Biblical please!

I have also included references to the Spring Feasts, specifically Passover and Unleavened Bread, which Christians often miss. (Not necessarily Firstfruits, as the average Believer knows much about the resurrection).

Bible Verses:

LEGAL FRAMEWORK

* Exodus 12 and 13

* Leviticus 23

* Numbers 9:1-4

* Numbers 28

* Deuteronomy 16

IN PRACTICE

* Joshua 5:10–12 — First Passover in the land

* 2 Kings 23:21–23 — Passover under King Josiah

* 2 Chronicles 30 — Hezekiah’s Passover revival

* 2 Chronicles 35 — Josiah’s Passover (detailed)

* Ezra 6:19–22 — Post-exile Passover

* Matthew 26:17–30

* Mark 14:12–26

* Luke 22:7–20

* John 13–19

THEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

* 1 Corinthians 5:7–8

* Hebrews 11:28

IN PRACTICE

* Acts 12:3–4

* Acts 20:6

Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

I love my brethren in Christianity. Dearly. And think they do massive amounts of good (even when the institutions seem to be destroying entities led by wolves).

But there is an aspect to Christianity that continues to astound me:

Christianity teaches that Yeshua got rid of Himself at the cross.

It teaches that David, Solomon, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Daniel, they all lied to you about God’s laws.

Instead of teaching that Yeshua freed us from the penalty of the Law it teaches that He freed us from the Law itself, picking and choosing which laws are still appropriate to follow (tithing always seems to come up here).

This unfruitful and unBiblical view can be easily defeated through many lenses of Scriptural study.

Today’s lense? How does the Bible describe light, fire and bread? How are those things equated with the Savior and with teaching and instruction?

I hope this is a blessing to you!

Christianity has obliterated the understanding the Bible gives of the story of Jews and Israel and our identity as Believers.

And yes, this affects questions about the land, about the purpose of the land, the constant fighting over the land.

There is the land of Israel, the physical lineage of Israel, and the family of God that is Israel. No wonder there is confusion.

And yes, the land of Israel physically matters. Yeshua will reign from that location when He returns. The physical reflects the spiritual. It MATTERS.

Christians have been told a host of lies:

* Christians replace Israel

* Christians replace Jews

* The land should be split up

* God only returns to punish the Jews

These and many other lies are floating around the internet as we watch the war against Iran expand.

Let’s hammer this out together. Let’s see what God says about the identity of Israel.

Hello! I wanted to do a quick peak into chiastic structure, numbers, and some of the deeper meanings reflected in the numbers given in the Bible. How they relate to our bodies, how they share the gospel in stories that seem like they are about something else and more. Thank you for being here, listening and supporting.

Know you are created in the Image of God and LIVE IT!

Blessings,

Rachel
