  1. Sorry, if I sound like I'm ranting and/or complaining but I really find the fashion & entertainment industry (i.e. Hollywood, Bollywood, etc.) really in conflict with the Christian lifestyle. Apart from all the fame & fortune that could easily lead Christians astray, I came across acting techniques used by the entertainment industry to be totally harmful & vulgar to the Christian lifestyle. Let me explain. Some, Not all, but Some of the following techniques "drawing personal connections from your feelings and experiences to the character. This creates a lifelike and realistic portrayal of the character using sensory memory." ( quote from Credit Reference: https://ifilmthings.com/acting-techniques-actors-must-know/ ) : Credit Reference: https://ifilmthings.com/acting-techniques-actors-must-know/ Classical acting – Stanislavski’s acting technique Uta Hagen’s realism technique Meisner technique Lee Strasberg’s technique Michael Chekhov technique Method acting Stella Adler Practical Aesthetics technique Viola Spolin’s – “theatre games” Basically some of the aforementioned acting techniques are in direct conflict with the Philippians 4:8 bible verse: Again, sorry if I sound like I'm ranting and/or complaining
  2. Hello everyone, I am writing a full report on Torah only using the NT, this is the start of part 1. I was shown to not search for the spiritual on the web. I only Use The Word and The Spirit. Part 1:The Meeting Of Acts. In acts chapter 13 vs. 14 & 15, we can see the Gentiles in Antioch are keeping the Sabbath and studying Torah, KJV: “But when they departed from Per'ga,they came to Antioch in Pisidia and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. 15. And after the reading of The Law(Torah) and the prophets” (so Torah and rest of OT is what was being studied by the first Christian’s on The Biblical Sabbath day) In vs. 39 we see By our Belief/Faith in The Messiah we are Justified/made pure,. KJV: “And by him all that believe are Justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses”(simply following the customs of Torah is not what gives humans Justification) In vs. 45 we see the Jews become Jealous of the masses of Gentiles who have came to synagogue to Hear The Word of YHWH, and start speaking blasphemous. KJV: “BUT when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy" In chapter 14 vs 1 we see the Greeks and Jews both believed together as one Body in synagogue, no separation of Jew n Gentile. In chapter 15 vs.1 we have man who came down from Judea and taught the New converts, that They CAN NOT be saved UNLESS they are physically circumcised, KJV: “And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses YE CANNOT BE SAVED.” which is what causes the whole debate can a person get salvation and be uncircumcised? KJV vs.2: “Paul and Barnabas and certain other of them, should go upto Jerusalem unto the Apostles and Elders ABOUT THIS QUESTION" (Not whether we should keep or destroy the Torah that would have been sacrilegious and never would have ever crossed Their minds!) In vs 5 there is a Pharisee that stood up during the debate, and said it is NEEDFUL they be circumcised and they should be COMMANDED to keep or "Guard" the Torah which could be a reference to rabbinical oral law about placing "fences" around Torah, on this verse I sought out a 4th translation from the Aramaic peshitta, that actually makes the most sense for the context, HRB: “But some of those rose up from the sect of the Pharisees who had believed, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them in order to keep the Law of Moses” In vs.9 we see again there is NO difference between Jew and Gentile, and that our Hearts become purified By Faith! Keeping the rules without Faith is worthless, keep the Torah perfect, without Faith and a circumcised heart it means Nothing! In vs. 10 we see Peter say, “now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?” I believe this Yoke to be a mindset, the very mindset that caused this whole debate, that you CANNOT BE SAVED unless you follow these rules and customs, where as now the understanding has changed in this Meeting from ” we HAVE to Follow these customs to be Saved” to “now that we are Saved by grace, we SHOULD follow these customs” Although, the Torah is Holy, just and good (Ro 7:12), human beings are not, and according to the Torah (Deut 27:26) if one entered the first covenant, then they were obligated to observe every law of Torah and there was no way to have certain sins removed such as adultery, idolatry, blasphemy and murder. Yahshua magnified the Torah to show that in spirit every human being has committed such sins. Since Circumcision is the sign of the first covenant in which you could not have the penalty of such sins removed, Peter is clearly stating why would the elders want to put such a burden on new believers. Paul clearly expounds on this in the book of Galatians that if one is circumcised and joins the old covenant that Messiah will profit him nothing as there was no removal of sins but simply a hope of a better covenant to come with a more perfect priesthood in Melchizedek. In vs. 11 we again see through the Grace of The Messiah we are saved along with our Faith and belief as we seen in previous verses, this of course is not saying in any way that we should not Try to Follow YHWHs Rules, Just that The rules themselves DO NOT bring salvation, many men followed the customs who were unrighteous in heart, like the Pharisees who wouldn’t help men who needed healing on the Sabbath, they twisted His Torah into something it never was . In vs, 19 we see James stands up and says that they should not TROUBLE the New converts, as in don’t overwhelm these new people who have came to Elohim with a direct command from the Jerusalem council that they must follow every rule In order to gain salvation, in vs.20 he instead recommends that they(the elders) write them(new converts) a list they need to abstain from, to not overwhelm them, that they just stop fornication, blood, idols, things strangled “It would be ridiculous to think that these are the only 4 requirements that a new gentile believer needed to follow, as it does not mention murder, blasphemy or even belief in Yahshua. Since cultural issues such as not draining the blood correctly in animals was keeping Jewish believers from fellowshipping with gentile ones, the Apostles are simply making basic rules that will allow them to meet together with a clear conscience. These 4 points are not the only doctrine that a new gentile believer will have to learn, but they are a starting point, as the next verse clearly states that the gentiles will “hear the Torah each Sabbath that they meet” with the Jewish believers, clearly showing the still binding validity of the Sabbath and Torah, even after this decree.” In vs 21. James points out the fact that The Torah of Moses is preached every Sabbath, KJV:”For Moses of Old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day" there fore The elders don’t need to teach or tell these people about the rest of the commandments, bc they fully expect them to Hear Torah every Sabbath as they go to synagogue, in turn they can learn the rest of Torah at Their own pace and not be overwhelmed or worried. And in vs. 22 we can see only after this truth was stated “THEN" the elders, apostles, is pleased and in agreement with the decision.
  3. What is good to have?! A pure or a polluted heart? I prefer a pure, a pure heart... Because it is good, very good! "Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith..." - 1 Timothy 1:5 Our heart is very, very important... It definitely is something we should be watching carefully! "Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life." - Proverbs 4:23 Do you have a pure heart?! Before answering, you better think carefully because: "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man." - Matthew 15:19-20 Who wants to have a pure heart?! Repent and come to the Lord. "and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith." - Acts 15:9 But can the Lord do this?! Yes, if you believe... No matter who you are, what you have done, all things are possible with Him. "For with God nothing will be impossible." - Luke 1:37 Do you have something against someone?! Forgive, as the Lord said: "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you..." - Matthew 5:44 Can't you do that?! Just pray and ask, for everything is possible for him who believes. "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" - Luke 11:13 Get rid of all hate, malice, deceit and hypocrisy, pursue a pure heart... Strive wholeheartedly for what is good. Just ask and receive, says the Lord! "Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God." - Matthew 5:8 Believe and it will be done to you. "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." - Mark 11:24 I do not care about this world, I do not care for what it has to offer... We know its deeds (they are evil), we know its end, which is destruction. Who would want to follow this evil world?! Who would want to follow the spirit of disobedience?! Their end is destruction. "It is a joy for the just to do justice, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity." - Proverbs 21:15 We are not of this world, you are not of this world... Do not choose to follow its evil ways. Come and be free in the Lord, sin is not your master... The flesh and its evil desires... You do not have to obey them. "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts." - Romans 6:12 Obey the Lord and let Him reign... And you will see it is very good! "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan." - Proverbs 29:2 Be free, be free, says the Lord... From this day I say to you: Your life will change, and for the better! Just believe and your sins will no longer be your master. You will no longer be its slave. "...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." - 1 John 3:8 Do you have a vice, does it still control you?! Not anymore, I will count few days from now and you will find yourself free. Can you believe it?! If you do then you already received it. Blessed are you, my friend! "...All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." - 1 Corinthians 6:12 Do you know someone you hate?! Now it is time to show them some love, in the name of the Lord Jesus. "not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing." - 1 Peter 3:9 Is it still too hard for you?! Then surrender, surrender to the Lord Jesus and have life. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-13 You desire to do good but you cannot, you cannot because when we are in the flesh we cannot please Him. "So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God." - Romans 8:8 But we still desire to do good... But how!? Is there any way? "For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice." - Romans 7:19 "For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man." - Romans 7:22 Do not be ashamed, surrender and receive the Holy Spirit, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ... "So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit..." - Acts 15:8 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:16 Now, you are no longer under law but under grace. Glory to God! Amen. "For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh..." - Romans 8:3 "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." - Romans 6:14 "Jesus answered them, Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." - John 8:34-36 You are free, you are a new creature, you are a child of God! "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light" - Ephesians 5:8 Blessed and happy are those who believe in Him! "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen." - Romans 11:36 God bless you in Jesus' name!
