This is an
edited entry, some of what is to be read below has already been penned, however
in the process of compiling this blog I needed to complete and send out this
post - http://theshofarblows-steve.blogspot.com/2016/09/just-thought-who-did-eve-chavah.html
you may want to read it first before going on with this particular blog.
Now back to
this post:
I am
penning this blog in response to comments that were sent this morning
regarding the teachings that I have posted and taught on Blood Line Curses and
the position of the woman in the Messianic community regarding their authority to teach men.
This is in
no way an attack on the person who posted these comments as I welcome comments
posted in a constructive and mature fashion – that is how we are able to learn
from each other and at the same time remain accountable to each other; so this is
merely my attempt to rectify what I believe are teachings built on the
incorrect applications of the Word of YHWH, BUT never the less these particular
teachings, which I believe could very easily, if not rectified, cause massive
division and misleading within the Body of Messiah in these critical and
dangerous end times must be addressed forth-rightly and honestly.
I need at
the very outset to expel a grievous concept that is being so misused by the RCC
and her “Ecumenical” daughters, the
denominations – this of UNITY WITHIN THE BODY FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE, BUT AT THE EXPENSE
OF SOUND DOCTRINE: THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE - Mat. 10:34-39
makes that point abundantly clear I believe!
I do agree
with the one posting the comments that behind many successful men there are
good women, I believe that to be Scriptural – BUT THAT IN NO WAY GIVES THE WIFE
OR WOMAN INVOLVED IN THIS ACTION OF ASSISTANCE/GUIDENACE THE AUTHORITY TO
OVER-RIDE THE ELOHIM GIVEN AUTHORITY OF THE MAN AND FORCE HIM TO DO AS SHE
WISHES – BRETHREN THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL! 1 Kings 16:31ff
We need to
understand that any works done by any person, male or female, no matter how
noble the intentions may be, BUT WHICH ARE NOT GROUNDED IN THE WORD AS LED BY
THE RUACH OF YHWH, ARE SEEN AS FILTHY RAGS IN HIS SIGHT, simply because
without the leading of The Ruach WE CANNOT KNOW WHAT HIS WAYS ARE SUPPOSED TO
BE; OUR FLESH IS IN ABSOLUTE EMNITY AND REBELLION AGAINST HIS RUACH! Is. 64:6; Is. 55:6-9 arw Mat.
6:25-34; Rom. 8:5-8.
I need to
stop here for a moment and address a very delicate subject, and that is the
description used by The Ruach in Is. 64:6 to
describe our works done without the Ruach:
“And all of us have
become as one unclean, and all our righteousness are
as soiled rags……” The Scriptures – emphasis added by me.
Here we see
that The Ruach makes the analogy of a woman during her monthly cycles who is unclean to enter the
Tabernacle/Temple – BECAUSE THE BLOOD FLOW SHE EXPERIENCES DURING THESE CYCLES
IS THE SIGN OF DEATH – SHE CANNOT CONCEIVE AND MAY NOT HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH
HER HUSBAND DURING THESE TIMES, BUT
THE LIFE CYCLE IN HER IS RE-NEWED AGAIN IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF THESE CYCLES,
JUST LIKE HAPPENS TO THE MOON WHEN IT IS RENEWED, AND as is referred to the “Re-Newed” Covenant – NOT A NEW ONE THAT
ABRIDGED THE OLD, BUT A RENEWING OF THE ORIGINAL (Lev.
12:2; 12:4; 20:18; Eze. 36:17-29(a) – Israel is compared to a woman in
her “uncleanliness” and is
thus scattered to the Nations BUT YHWH, IN THE END TIMES, WILL REDEEM HER (US)
AND CLEAN HER (ISRAEL, US – Rom. 11:11ff and Eph 2:11ff) THROUGH THE WATER OF HIS WORD; HE WILL
CHANGE OUR HARDENED HEARTS TO HEARTS OF FLESH AND PUT HIS SPIRIT INTO US SO
THAT WE WILL WALK IN HIS LAWS (TORAH) AND GUARD (KEEP AND PROTECT) HIS
COMMANDMENTS –AND WE SHALL DO THEM! NB: THIS IS THE
PROMISE OF THE NEW COVENANT GIVEN TO ISRAEL AND JUDAH NOT TO SOME GENTILE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH – JER. 31:31-34 AND THAT TOO IS LOVE John 14:15; 14:23 - SEE UNDER PLEASE!
To further
illustrate this analogy (because some of us, those who will overcome and
perseveres to the end, will later be His Bride – Mat. 24:12-13; 2 Tim.
4:7-8; Rev. 2:25-28) The Ruach uses the words “soiled rags” – soiled = (H5708 – ed – from an unused root
meaning to set a period; the menstrual flux; by implication
(in plural) soiling:- filthy) & rags = (H899 – beged – from H898; a
covering; that is, clothing; also .. rag etc).
I hope we are able to see the massive implications of this verse and what YHWH thinks of our own works regardless of who we be or may be in the future!
I know many
site the Scriptures that say we are now no longer Jew - Greek, Slave – Free;
Rich – Poor; Please see the link to posted at the top for a short explanation
of this topic (http://theshofarblows-steve.blogspot.com/2016/09/just-thought-who-did-eve-chavah.html)
– however here are points of note:
The responder to my teachings uses Galatians (received
and penned by Sha’ul – Paul) to defend that men and women are the same
now (Gal. 3:28) – this Epistle was thought to
have been written in about CE 48:
Similarly 2 Cor. 5:17, also used to bolster this
claim of “equality” and switching of roles between men and women within the
designated and created positions of the genders in the “New Testament Church”
of Jesus Christ, (also received by Sha’ul - Paul) was thought to have been
written in about CE 47 – yet 1 Tim. 3:1-13 which
very clearly designates the gender and qualifications of an Elder or Deacon AND
HIS WIFE & supported by Titus 1:5-16 (both
also received from The Ruach by Sha’ul – Paul) were only received in about CE 54 & 56 respectively – that is after
the penning of Galatians and 2 Corinthians – so how could Sha’ul say in earlier
Epistles (Galatians and 2 Corinthians) that men and woman are now
interchangeable in roles and what-ever else, to only later return to the Torah
teaching which gives man the mandated creation authority over his Wife?
Such an
assumption would be ludicrous as it makes of Sha’ul a false teacher and a liar
& liable for death and at the same time would under cut the pinions of
almost the entire New Testament Churches teachings based on the “Word of Paul”!
Deut. 13:1ff, 2 Pet. 3:15-17
We also have Epistles containing verses such as those found in 1
Peter 3:1-7 which links the wives action to those of Sarah of the Torah and
further instructs says that men must protect and give honour to their wives
as the weaker vessel – AND THESE WERE WRITTEN MORE THAN A DECADE AFTER Galatians and Corinthians!
(http://ichthys.com/mail-Bible%20chrono.htm
)
Now let us deal
with the assumption that divorced or widowed women may possibly be able to
assume a more masculine role within the Body. This argument too I am afraid
does not carry water as once again we see in 1 Timothy
and Titus 1 THAT ANY DIVINELY ESTABLISHED
KAHILAH (ASSEMBLY) MUST HAVE MALE ELDERS AND DEACONS IN CHARGE, therefore if a
divorcee or widow should be led to join a Kahilah, there will of necessity be a
male in charge.
Now please
understand that I do not in any way advocate that a divorcee or widow’s house
etc should fall under the authority of that elder or deacon – BUT SHOULD THAT
LADY BE LED TO JOIN AN ORDAINED KAHILAH (ASSEMBLY), OBVIOUSLY SHE SHALL NEED TO
CONDUCT HERSELF ACCORDINGLY (1 Tim. 5:2ff – see
Sha’ul in this portion of Scripture even admonishes younger women to marry and Titus 2:3-5 where in 1 Cor. 7 he advises against marriage and to rather be celibate) and in my opinion the Word is very clear and once again negates the argument
that women will take on the role of men and thus teach men!
This person
also stated that we now have FREEDOM IN MESSIAH AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS PERSON
ADOPTS THE ERRONIOUS CONCLUSION THAT THIS FREEDOM MAY MEAN THAT WE CAN DO
ANYTHING WE WANT!
No we
cannot do all that we now want to, please see above (Is.
64:6 and Rom. 6: 1-2, Rom. 8:1ff arw 1 John 3:4). That curse which was attached or nailed
to the cross (Stake) and taken away by Messiah and as spoken of in Col. 2:13-15
WAS THE PENALTY OF DEATH WHICH WE HAVE INCURRED THROUGH OUR SINS (sins caused precisely by doing what we want to - following our flesh) – IT WAS NEVER THE MARRIAGE COVENANT OF YESHUA THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY! I have written ad
nauseam on this matter, please refer to the blogs of this site.
I need to
once again address the issue of Biblical Love – IT IS VERY, VERY SIMPLE – IT
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FEELINGS – BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH OBEYING THE
COMMANDMENTS OF YESHUA AND HIS FATHER AND TRUSTING THAT HE WILL WORK THINGS OUT
ACCORDING TO HIS WILL WHILST WE OBEY, PROTECT AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS – HIS
TORAH, HIS MARRIAGE COVENANT.
These two
links may be of assistance to those who wish to read further on the subject of
Biblical Love verses Church ordained Love.
I hope that
this makes sense, I know it is once again a very emotive and charged issue we have addressed today, but that
does not make it any less relevant, in fact if anything obeying the Word of
Messiah, as He is the Never Changing Word of YHWH WHO SHOWS US WHAT ABBA IS LIKE, will bring us freedom in
these times of trial and massive tribulations.
And to my
responder in this matter, please do not think I have anything at all against
you, but as a member of the family of Messiah it is my responsibility to
address where I believe a situation or matter needs to be addressed, just as
you have rightfully done with me; and please, please do not assume to believe or know that – I AM THREATENED BY STRONG WILLED LADIES. I AM MARRIED TO ONE AND I CERTAINLY AM NOT THREATENED AT ALL, ASK ALL WHO KNOW ME.
So that all being said, I must state in summation that the argument, that this person I have now answered poses as a basis for objection to my teachings on the matters addressed, is not in my opinion acceptable or Biblical.
Once again
please all who read what I have penned, please do so with a Bible in hand and
your eyes focused on Messiah and His Ruach to lead and guide you, as I too am a
man trying to find his way home, and let us all be warned that cursed is he (or she) who trusts in the arm of flesh and is led away from Messiah and His Covenant. Jer. 17:5-6
Shalom
Bo’az
