My thoughts this Sabbath
I am going to be closing comments on the posts I write pertaining to my religious beliefs for many reasons, but I guess the largest one is because these are personal thoughts, and as such are not open to debate. I think comments take something from the sharings of what the Holy Spirit presses on me. These are the Holy Spirit's words, and they stand alone. They don't need any additions or debate. I appreciate the ones who have commented on the posts from last week,but I think I would like to just share what the Holy Spirit presses on me to share without any additions.
Another reason I am closing comments is that at first, people assume I am Christian, and I do believe much of the Holy Bible. I do know that Yeshua is the only way back home, that Yeshua died for our sins, and that Yeshua is the Savior, but I know that the Holy Bible is not the only book that brings understanding about Yeshua. I am a follower of Yeshua. I am not a Christian. I am not Jewish. I am not of the Islamic faith. I am not Wiccian. I am not New Age. I am not Hindu. I am not Buddhist. I am not a Celtic pagan, etc. but I have found some truths in ALL these religions. I identify most with the Christian ( I believe everything Yeshua said,but I use a magnifying glass with the writings of Paul) and the Jewish (because Yeshua followed Torah, so do I) religions, but I also believe things not found in either of these 2 religions.
I believe in reincarnation, as a human each time. I think we have to experience everything, every emotion, every trial, every tribulation, to have a well-rounded soul, and I believe this is impossible to do in one lifetime. I also understand that being created in Elohim's image means that just as Elohim is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we have a soul, human body, and spirit, as well. I believe we pick what we will experience in this lifetime before we are born. These are just a few things that are different about what I believe than can be found in any 1 organized religion.
So, sooner or later, what I believe and what I write is going to bring people out wanting to show me the error of my thinking, but what I believe is a part of me, based on 45 years of study, a near-death expereince, saved memories from before my birth, etc. and as such they are very dear to my heart, and a huge part of who I am. I have NEVER and will never be one to think or believe what others tell me to just because they think they know better than I do. I do my own studying. I form my own truths and I walk my own road, and when needed, I walk it alone. No one has ever been able to put me into a box, in any aspect of my life. I have never fit into anyone's preconceived ideas of who or what I should be, and I don't plan to change.
1599 Geneva Bible
John 21:25
25 Now there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written everyone, I suppose the world could not contain the books that should be written, Amen.
Even the disciples admitted that not everything was added to the scriptures, and King James took even more out. I have studied the Jewish history of the Patriarchs and other Jewish writings, because Yeshua was Jewish. I knew that if I wanted to follow him, if I wanted to understand him, that this was a good place to find out what he was raised to believe. I have also read and studied all the gospels King James had removed from the Holy Bible. These books shed alot more light on who Yeshua was. I have read the same love Yeshua taught in many other Holy Books from other religions as well. Once you get a feel for the love that comes from God, you can see it everywhere, but organized religion is a source of confusion and delusion. I follow Yeshua's love and only take to heart the scriptures of any Holy Book (outside those in satanism or luciferianism, as I have not and will not study those) that show this type of love.
Folks have to study and form their own beliefs. This is the most important thing in the whole world, in my opinion. Whatever you do, don't depend on things like movies about Yeshua, TV series about Yeshua, other people's opinions on YouTube videos or anywhere online (including my post) to understand the truth. Some of these things stray very far from the scriptures and take a lot of creative liberties in the making of their media. So much so in some instances, as to completely distort Yehsua's whole message. You must do your own studying and look for the truth with your own heart. You must allow the Holy Spirit to help you discern the truth from any falsehood.
However, what it all comes down to is that Love (agape) is all that matters.
Matthew 22:36-40
1599 Geneva Bible
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy [a]soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and the great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole Law and the Prophets.
1 John 4:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 [a]Beloved, let us love one another: [b]for love cometh of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God, [c]for God is [d] love.
So, to those who don't understand why I close comments on some of my posts, I have tried to explain. Some of my thoughts are not open to discussion or debate. I thank those who understand I am trying to set boundaries, in some areas, for the first time in my life.
