Do you hate Torah? Are you willing to chance that I’m wrong? Are you among those who will be snuffed like a flame should YHWH recompense those who hate Almighty? Do you hate the priests? Do you hate the offerings? Do you hate that people die? Do you hate that there are rules for clean… Read More
No Words
December 19, 2011 By 2 Comments
Try as I might, I’ve had no words to write. Torah has been on my mind and in my heart and in my daily activities, but the words have eluded me. Allow me some artistic leeway as I ramble through my thoughts to understand this void I’ve felt… So I reached into Torah to find… Read More

Strangers have no right to Israel’s inheritance – Only the sons of Israel were given the land of Canaan.

Go ahead and fantasize about “happily ever after” – but when you’re ready for reality, accept that afterlife is just another fairy tale.

Accept Your Punishment
January 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Leviticus 26:40 – What does it mean to accept the punishment? Does it mean to embrace the exile? Or to applaud its conveniences? Or to assimilate with the nations you’re exiled to? No! That is akin to sending a child to his room full of games and toys and every man-made convenience he can imagine… Read More
Give Up Your Addiction To Prophecy
January 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Prophets were never established to create Law – they were established to return people to the Law of YHVH Almighty. Come on people – give up your addiction to prophecy!

Some Parenting Resembles Idolatry – Good intentions can easily shift the power balance within the household, as children learn traits and lack of boundaries from their parents.

A Temple Is Just A Golden Calf
December 11, 2010 By 3 Comments
The desire for a rebuild of a doomed and desecrated structure is akin to the worship of idols. The temple is just another version of the golden calf.
