I have decided for this matter of discussion to resort to this blog format simply for brevity, ease of use and reference rather that trying to place it all on WhatsApp and Telegram - a little too long!
This content is an extract from my personal Topic Notes and as such it makes reference to other Topic Notes, Scriptures references - however I believe that should one follow the crux of my notes and the references and Scriptures noted one will be able to form a good understanding of what I am saying.
As I am being led, in my opinion and considered observation, into a deeper relationship with The Elohim of Israel and Yeshua I am seeing more and more the subtleties and dangers of the systemic religion and their controlling / manipulating ways drawing the adherents of these denominations / humanistic religions and practices into A DEEPER SYSTEM OF SLAVERY THUS SLAVE MENTALITY AND DEPENDENCY or CODEPENDENCY on said systems / religions / statements of faith AND NOT on Yeshua and The Ruach HaKodesh.
My Extract .............
Thoughts whilst being "introduced" to WISDOM, DISCERNMENT, KNOWLEDGE - LOVE FOR ELOHIM and ADOPTION / GRAFTING INTO REDEEMED YISRAEL through MESSIAH YESHUA's completed works!
Beware the Spirit of Religion = Man-made systemic systems of belief w/o imput of/ or rejection of Ruach HaKodesh.
Spirit or Religion is a spirit of control - NO FREEDOM
Control is manipulation whereby man uses the distortion and own interpretation to achieve his world / spiritual view through which he exercises control over society. Mat_11:29-30 arw Mat_23:2-6; 2Pe_3:15-17; Talmudic writings, Christian Church doctrines; Jewish doctrines woven into formal Messianic Worship Mat_15:6 arw Gen_2:16-17 etc.
Manipulation is akin to witchcraft (See T/N of similar title) ...... Extract
"we need to practice the Fruit of self control (Gal_5:22-23) - not giving over to manipulation (sourcery / witchcraft) Gal_5:20 arw Pro_12:22 see Gen_3:1 subtle (H6175 - subtle, shrewd, sly - usually in the bad sense > H6191 - take crafty council, beware of) then in Gen_3:3 ff we see the enemy weave his craft of manipulation and subtle deception, twisting the truth and making misleading suggestions!... BEWARE Deu_18:10-11 witches, sourcerers, divination [magic], charmers, familiar spirits are all forms of manipulation of the TRUTH & 1Sa_15:23 - rebellion (H4805 - bitterness, rebellious [because of the bitterness?] > H4784 - to resist, to change, be disobedient, disobey, provoke to rebellion / rebel [against..]) is unto witchcraft "
Whereas Yeshua says - YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE - Joh_8:31-32 arw Joh_14:5-14 (See T/N - YESHUA is the walking, talking, living TORAH & YESHUA IS YHWH) This is RELATIONSHIP - NOT SYSTEMIC RELIGION!
We are saved by GRACE - NOT WORKS - systemic religion is a belief system based on the ways of man - works / actions as dictated by man; whereas relationship is based on sanctification (growth) based on works inspired by The Ruach Eph_2:10 arw Eph_2:8-9.
Remember - There were only 2 seeds in the Garden (adapted from the title of a book by the Late Brad Scott) - the one being The Tree of LIFE = YESHUA - giving eternal LIFE - and the other the Seed of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil (The word knowledge coming froim the base H18947 > H3045 - to use, to be intimate with - carnal relationship - COVENANT WORD) resulting in DEATH - eternal seperation from our Saviour Elohim resulting in Manipuylation by The Serpant!
(T/N - Yisrael - (sons / daughters) - who or what are they - Eph_2:11-22 commentries - we are as much Yisrael and beneficeries of The Covenant promises as Judah. Rom_11:11 ff
Many of us have, just like those who followed the 10 spies in The Wilderness; have seen Messiah through partaking of the Manna and Spiritual Waters from the Rock, witnessed the Grace and Mercy of our Shepherd King - yet are still bound by our slave / victim mentality -
SLAVERY (Systemic religions) BY IT'S VERY NATURE IS A VIOLENT, PERVASIVE & OPPRESIVE SYSTEM UNDER WHICH THE SLAVE ENDURES A LIFE ENTIRELY DEPENDANT ON THE WHIM OF THE MASTER ON A PERMENANT & DAILY BASIS! (T/N - Slavery to the world - see Mat_6:25-34 -
Lack of TRUST in Messiah Yeshua and HIS completed works - 2Co_12:9; Pro_3:3-6
Have to always "earn" recognition - by WORKS / PERFORMANCE thus conforming to the IMAGE OF THE WORLD - Rom_12:1-2; Jas_4:1-4 vs 4
Living in constant fear of upsetting our masters - Mat_6:25; Rom_8:15 and Gal_4:6
Serving 2 M/masters - causes Mat_6:19-24 vs 24; Jas_1:6-8 - A HOUSE DIVIDED - Mat_12:25
Whereas a RELATIONSHIP ALWAYS HAS FREEDOM AND THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHICH PATH ONE WISHES TO ADOPT!
Walking by FAITH NOT SIGHT - Old Covenant vs New Covenant - This new covenant would be like the covenant through Moses in that it would fulfill the promises to Abraham. But this new covenant would not be like the covenant through Moses in one important respect: it would not be conditional on Israel’s obedience but it would be based solely on God’s love and faithfulness as led by The Ruach HaKodesh and empowered by The Completed and Perfect Works of Messiah. (Rebuttal - again Deu_30:1-6 ff; Progression of Eze_37:1-28; Second Exodus of Isa_11:11; Eze_20:1 ff esp from Eze_20:33 ff
Without FAITH (as defined by The Word) it is impossible to please ELOHIM - Heb 11:1 arw Heb 11:6.
Glossay -
Where I have referred to something for example like H1132 > H1190 - or G4102 > G4109 I refer to my use of either Strongs or BDB concordance references.
ARW = as read with
Hope this makes some sense and is of assistance.
