real-messiah-stand-up

Where are your mashiyach?  What are you waiting on?  What are you looking for? The word on the “streets” is mashiyach. Mashiyach this or messiah that… when mashiyach comes… not until messiah is here.

Do you hate Torah

Fuck You God

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

Afterlife is Just Another Fairy Tale

Fairy tale of afterlife

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

Accept the Punishment

Leviticus 26:40 – What does it mean to accept the punishment? Does it mean to embrace the exile? Or to applaud its conveniences?

A Temple Is Just A Golden Calf

The wall is an idol

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.

It’s time to stand up for the truth and stop the “don’t snitch” mantra!  Make a change – be a snitch! I am so tired of the bullies and evil doers coaxing innocents to their side by using the “don’t snitch” rule.  There is no such rule in Torah.  Torah law is very clear on… Read More
