The First Letter of Sha’ul {Paul} to the Corinthian Believers – Part 2

The First Letter of Sha’ul {Paul} to the Corinthian Believers – Part 2

This book provides teachings to the Corinthian Believers from Shaul {incorrectly Paul}. Note that the letters {epistles} give more teaching about the ways of Yah and the Anointed life than the first five books from MattihYahoo to Revelation which give more in the way of examples of highly Anointed Believers, particularly Yahooshua as an example of how we should seek to live our lives. You will see from my footnotes that there are several statements by Shaul that I believe are NOT from Yah.

1
00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:00.950
Thank you for choosing W4CY Radio.

2
00:00:00.970 --> 00:00:01.649
Draw me close to you.

3
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:42.799
Never let me go Lay it all down again Till

4
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.679
you say.

5
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:51.630
That I'm a friend Good day. The Almighty Creator desires

6
00:00:51.649 --> 00:00:59.009
a deep personal relationship with you. My name is James Robertson.

7
00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:03.710
I'm a researcher, publisher and teacher regarding the matters and

8
00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:07.230
truths of the Almighty Creator, whose true name is YAH,

9
00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:12.299
the Eternally Self-Existing. I've been actively serving Him since 1993,

10
00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:16.519
over 33 years. If you're not actively serving YAH, then

11
00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:20.019
by default you're serving Satan. My objective is to show

12
00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:22.090
you how you can make a big difference on earth

13
00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:25.329
and qualify for a position of high esteem in heaven

14
00:01:25.390 --> 00:01:29.329
for eternity. It's important to understand that as a believer,

15
00:01:29.390 --> 00:01:33.090
just being good is not the point. It's relationship with

16
00:01:33.109 --> 00:01:35.750
Yah that counts. Without this, you will be in a

17
00:01:35.790 --> 00:01:39.010
very unpleasant place in heaven with no way out. My

18
00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:41.530
aim is to show you how to get close to Father.

19
00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:45.510
If you're a good person without a clear relationship with Yah,

20
00:01:45.549 --> 00:01:47.750
then you're in a spiritual no-man's land and you will

21
00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:52.129
not enter heaven when you die. The Creator said regarding unbelievers,

22
00:01:52.329 --> 00:01:54.730
why would I want someone to spend eternity with me

23
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.609
and they do not believe I exist. Yah is calling

24
00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:03.150
everybody on the planet to be involved and serve him

25
00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:06.569
and help him to have victory over Satan. Fundamentally, we

26
00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:08.830
each need to learn to see things on earth from

27
00:02:08.849 --> 00:02:15.699
Yah's perspective. Continuing part two of the first letter of Shaul,

28
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.300
incorrectly Paul, to the Corinthian believers, commonly called one Corinthians

29
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:27.870
in the so-called New Testament. It is overview. This book

30
00:02:27.949 --> 00:02:31.770
provides teachings to the Corinthian believers from Shaul, commonly but

31
00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:36.400
incorrectly called Paul. Note that the letters or epistles give

32
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.919
more teaching about the ways of Yahushua and the anointed

33
00:02:40.979 --> 00:02:45.120
life than the first five books from Matiyahu's revelation, which

34
00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:48.120
give more in the way of examples of highly anointed believers,

35
00:02:48.189 --> 00:02:51.870
particularly Yahushua, as an example of how we should seek

36
00:02:51.909 --> 00:02:54.979
to live our lives. You'll see from my footnotes that

37
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.370
there are several statements by Shaul that I believe are

38
00:02:58.409 --> 00:03:02.629
not from Yah. Emissaries exist today just the same as

39
00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:05.449
at the time this was written, but many are not

40
00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:10.949
recognized as such. Please read the introduction to the ETI

41
00:03:10.990 --> 00:03:14.830
Bible version and the book of Matiyahu first, as most

42
00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:18.560
of the changes and commentary in those texts apply to

43
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:25.500
1 Corinthians as well. So we're carrying on with chapter 7,

44
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:32.659
verse 13. And Shaul is commenting on divorce. And the

45
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.280
woman which has a husband that believeth not, and if

46
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.319
he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not

47
00:03:37.409 --> 00:03:44.909
leave him. That's a difficult one. I've recently come to

48
00:03:44.990 --> 00:03:52.050
understand that Chava'i was not formed from the rib of Adam. Adam.

49
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:58.189
that a separation of Adam into two halves, so that

50
00:03:58.219 --> 00:04:01.569
when a man and woman make love, they become a whole.

51
00:04:02.930 --> 00:04:08.370
So divorce is much more difficult than is generally understood.

52
00:04:09.810 --> 00:04:13.449
And even if the husband is an unbeliever or the

53
00:04:13.490 --> 00:04:18.230
wife is an unbeliever and they're one, I think you've

54
00:04:18.250 --> 00:04:22.019
got to be very careful in terms of concluding that

55
00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:30.149
you can get a divorce. It's difficult. I once heard

56
00:04:30.310 --> 00:04:34.170
a chap speak who was a powerful evangelist, and he'd

57
00:04:34.230 --> 00:04:41.250
been a drug addict and a drug pusher and gang

58
00:04:41.410 --> 00:04:46.000
and what have you. And he had a woman that

59
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.759
he was sort of married to that he forced into prostitution,

60
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.990
he gave her drugs, I mean, talking cocaine and stuff

61
00:04:56.029 --> 00:05:01.189
like that, and eventually he beat her to death. And

62
00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:04.029
as she died, she said, I love you, I forgive you,

63
00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:08.879
or something like that. That had such a profound effect

64
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.540
on him that he came to salvation and became a

65
00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:19.189
powerful evangelist. So there's a piece here I've become very

66
00:05:19.269 --> 00:05:24.610
aware of Ephesians 5, 24 and 25. 25, man, love

67
00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:28.519
your woman as Yahushua loved the body of believers and

68
00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:31.339
gave his life for her. In other words, even if

69
00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:37.699
your wife beats you, tortures you, kills you, love her.

70
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.250
And 24, woman, submit to your husband in everything. If

71
00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:49.639
he beats you, tortures you, kills you, effectively. It's difficult

72
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.459
stuff in this present age, but you need to confront

73
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.639
it if you're in that situation. So what I'm saying

74
00:05:59.069 --> 00:06:02.850
is that if you're a believer married to an unbeliever,

75
00:06:03.889 --> 00:06:07.209
and I've said previously that Yah expects you to get divorced,

76
00:06:07.329 --> 00:06:10.689
and I'm not sure that that's right anymore. You may

77
00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:15.670
well find that Yah won't give you a divorce. Verse 14,

78
00:06:15.670 --> 00:06:18.209
for the unbelieving husband is set apart by the wife

79
00:06:18.269 --> 00:06:20.800
and the unbelieving wife is set apart by the husband.

80
00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:24.019
Else were your children unclean, but now they're set apart.

81
00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:28.439
And there's a piece there. My understanding is that the

82
00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:32.019
children take the spiritual state from the father. So if

83
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.589
the father is an unbeliever, the children, if they die

84
00:06:35.629 --> 00:06:38.730
before the age of majority, will not go to heaven.

85
00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:43.149
And if the father is a believer and they die

86
00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:45.230
before the age of majority, they will go to him.

87
00:06:46.009 --> 00:06:49.800
Verse 15. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart.

88
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.800
A brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases.

89
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.060
But Yah has called us to peace. For what do

90
00:06:57.110 --> 00:07:02.189
you know thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband?

91
00:07:02.930 --> 00:07:05.040
Or how do you know, O man, whether thou shalt

92
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.139
save thy wife? But as Yah has distributed to every man,

93
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.339
as Yah the eternal self-existing has called everyone to let

94
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.350
him walk and so ordain in all assemblies. Is any

95
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.350
man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Is

96
00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:26.970
any called uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. So there's

97
00:07:27.009 --> 00:07:30.040
a whole piece there about circumcision. We'll talk more about

98
00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:36.319
that verse 19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing

99
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.980
but the keeping of the commandments of Yah, ten commandments.

100
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.160
And this is so important, folks. Fundamentally, the issue is

101
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.399
the ten commandments, not all this other stuff that men

102
00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:52.870
have concocted and what have you. And Yah tried circumcision

103
00:07:52.970 --> 00:07:55.350
as a way of getting people to realize that they

104
00:07:55.389 --> 00:07:58.189
were committed to him. It didn't work. He said, you

105
00:07:58.230 --> 00:08:02.970
know what, I don't worry about circumcision anymore. Verse 20,

106
00:08:02.970 --> 00:08:06.000
did every man abide in the same calling wherein he

107
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.199
was called? Art thou called being a servant? Care not

108
00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:11.339
for it, but if thou mayst be made free, use

109
00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:13.879
it rather. For he that is called in Yah the

110
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.100
eternally self-existing being a servant is Yah the eternally self-existing

111
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.879
free man. Likewise, also he that is called being free

112
00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:25.310
is the anointed one of Yah's servant. You're bought with

113
00:08:25.350 --> 00:08:29.589
a price. Be not you the servants of men. brethren,

114
00:08:29.629 --> 00:08:33.460
that every man wherein he is called therein abide with Yah.

115
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:38.340
Now concerning Bethuelas, which is the correct word for virgins,

116
00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:41.799
a girl of puberty, about 13 years old, I have

117
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.860
no commandment of Yah, eternally self-existing, yet I give my

118
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.450
judgment as one that has obtained mercy from Yah, eternally self-existing,

119
00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:55.690
to be a manifold faithful. So this piece you need

120
00:08:55.710 --> 00:09:02.870
to be careful about. Firstly, Shaul says he doesn't have

121
00:09:02.950 --> 00:09:05.470
commandment from Yah, so you need to be careful what

122
00:09:05.509 --> 00:09:11.529
you put into this. Secondly, yes, in so-called Bible times,

123
00:09:11.669 --> 00:09:14.769
Old Testament times, it was commonplace for a virgin, a

124
00:09:14.809 --> 00:09:18.850
girl at puberty, age about 13, to get married. They

125
00:09:18.870 --> 00:09:21.450
were much more mature. They were living in a society

126
00:09:21.490 --> 00:09:24.870
where they were prepared for it. The way it's being

127
00:09:24.929 --> 00:09:31.950
done in some societies, particularly Islam, is shocking, atrocious, not acceptable.

128
00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:40.080
Don't use it to justify having sex with a young girl. 26.

129
00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:45.879
I suppose, therefore, that this is good for the present distress.

130
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.899
I say that it is good for a man so

131
00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:50.769
to be. Ought thou bound to a wife, seek not

132
00:09:50.809 --> 00:09:52.970
to be loosed. Ought thou loosed from a wife, seek

133
00:09:53.029 --> 00:10:01.440
not a wife. Dean, Bert and Issa thou hast not sinned,

134
00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:05.320
and if a bethulah marry, she has not sinned. Nevertheless,

135
00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:07.750
such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.

136
00:10:09.950 --> 00:10:15.049
So here Shaul is basically advising people to stay single

137
00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:19.370
and celibate. which means that if the believers as a

138
00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:22.149
body took him seriously, the believers would die out in

139
00:10:22.250 --> 00:10:25.620
one generation. So he said a minute ago he didn't

140
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.679
know if he had yarn. I'm sorry, don't take this.

141
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:35.159
I don't think it's right. 29. But this I say, brethren,

142
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.000
the time is short. It remaineth that both they that

143
00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.549
have wives be as though they had none, and they

144
00:10:40.570 --> 00:10:42.570
that weep as though they wept not, and they that

145
00:10:42.629 --> 00:10:45.149
rejoice as though they rejoiced not, and they that buy

146
00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:48.090
as though they possessed not. Know that you, this world,

147
00:10:48.169 --> 00:10:50.559
is not abusing it, for the fashion of this world

148
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.919
passes away. But I would have you without carefulness. He

149
00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:57.639
that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to you,

150
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:02.039
the eternally self-existing, how he may please you, the eternally self-existing.

151
00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:10.720
So there's this piece about the time is short. He

152
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.940
said that close to 2,000 years ago, and Yeshua hasn't

153
00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:16.919
come yet, and according to my understanding, Yeshua is not

154
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:22.059
coming yet if he comes at all before 3,003, so

155
00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:31.169
973 years or something like that. Please be careful. Verse 33.

156
00:11:31.769 --> 00:11:33.889
But he that is married cares for the things that

157
00:11:33.950 --> 00:11:35.950
are of the world, how he may please his wife.

158
00:11:36.909 --> 00:11:39.470
There's a difference also between a wife and a bethulah.

159
00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:42.240
The unmarried woman cares for the things of Yah, the

160
00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:45.750
eternally self-existing, that she may be set apart both in

161
00:11:45.809 --> 00:11:48.149
body and in spirit, but she that is married cares

162
00:11:48.190 --> 00:11:49.990
for the things of the world, how she may please

163
00:11:50.029 --> 00:11:53.169
her husband. And thus I speak for your profit, not

164
00:11:53.190 --> 00:11:55.429
that I may cast a snare upon you, but that

165
00:11:55.529 --> 00:11:58.769
for what is comely that you may attend upon Yah,

166
00:11:58.789 --> 00:12:02.850
the eternally self-existing, without distraction. Do any man think that

167
00:12:02.870 --> 00:12:07.990
he behaved himself improperly towards his Bethulah, If she pass

168
00:12:08.029 --> 00:12:10.370
the flower of her age, and need so require, let

169
00:12:10.389 --> 00:12:13.350
him do that what he will. He sins not, let

170
00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:17.309
them marry. Nevertheless, he that stands steadfast in his heart,

171
00:12:17.350 --> 00:12:20.750
having no necessity, and has authority over his own will,

172
00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:23.289
and has so decreed in his heart, that he will

173
00:12:23.330 --> 00:12:26.529
keep his bethulah, doth well. So then he that giveth

174
00:12:26.570 --> 00:12:29.210
her in marriage doeth well, but he that gives her

175
00:12:29.269 --> 00:12:32.509
not in marriage doeth better. The wife is bound by

176
00:12:32.529 --> 00:12:34.870
the commandment as long as her husband lives, but if

177
00:12:34.929 --> 00:12:37.980
her husband be dead, She's at liberty to be married

178
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.539
to whom she will only in the idea to only self-exist.

179
00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:45.240
But she is happier if she so abide after my judgment.

180
00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:47.059
I think also that I have the spirit of Yah.

181
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:51.419
So again, he's saying here, I'm speculating this. And there's

182
00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:54.549
a big piece. There are seven times more women than

183
00:12:54.710 --> 00:12:57.570
men in the body of true believers today. So it's

184
00:12:57.649 --> 00:13:02.009
totally realistic for women to stay single and celibate. But

185
00:13:02.049 --> 00:13:05.330
because there are so few believing men, every believing man

186
00:13:05.370 --> 00:13:10.070
should get married to And, folks, Yah created us to

187
00:13:10.110 --> 00:13:15.509
be sexual beings, not celibate. Many years ago, I was

188
00:13:15.570 --> 00:13:18.710
battling with this thing and I went to a Christian

189
00:13:18.750 --> 00:13:20.889
bookshop and I was impressed to pick up a book

190
00:13:20.950 --> 00:13:24.169
and I started flipping through it. Then I opened a

191
00:13:24.230 --> 00:13:30.600
place where a Catholic priest was battling with his sexuality

192
00:13:30.629 --> 00:13:34.879
to such an extent that he took a kitchen knife

193
00:13:35.570 --> 00:13:39.009
cut off his genitals, screamed his head off, and threw

194
00:13:39.029 --> 00:13:43.389
his genitals out of the window. That's not right, because

195
00:13:43.450 --> 00:13:52.019
of this teaching. Chapter 8 Now as touching things offered

196
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.179
to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge, pafatha,

197
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:59.740
but chesed, covenant love, edifies. And if any man think

198
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.500
that he knows anything, he knows nothing, yet as he

199
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.240
ought to know. But if any man has said, Your

200
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.659
covenant loves you, the same is known of him. It

201
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.220
is concerning, therefore, the eating of those things that are

202
00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:14.360
offered in sacrifice to idols. We know that an idol

203
00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:16.980
is nothing in the world, and that there is none

204
00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:21.799
other mighty one but one. For though there be that

205
00:14:22.210 --> 00:14:24.830
are called mighty ones, whether in heaven or on earth,

206
00:14:25.590 --> 00:14:28.789
as there be mighty ones many and other nice many,

207
00:14:29.450 --> 00:14:31.409
But to us there is but one Mighty One, the

208
00:14:31.470 --> 00:14:34.549
Father of whom are all things, and we in Him,

209
00:14:34.570 --> 00:14:38.100
and one Adonai Yahushua, the Anointed One of Yah, by

210
00:14:38.149 --> 00:14:42.080
whom are all things, and we by Him. Therefore there

211
00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:45.460
is not in every man that knowledge, for some with

212
00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:47.970
conscience of the idol, to this hour eat as if

213
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.590
being offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak,

214
00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:55.889
is defiled. So, folks, it's fairly straightforward. In this day

215
00:14:55.929 --> 00:14:59.610
and age, you shouldn't really be coming against food offered

216
00:14:59.649 --> 00:15:03.669
to idols, but if you know it's been offered to idols,

217
00:15:03.769 --> 00:15:08.269
I would encourage you not to eat it. Verse 8.

218
00:15:08.269 --> 00:15:10.899
But food commends us not to eat, for neither if

219
00:15:10.940 --> 00:15:13.000
we eat are we the better, neither if we eat

220
00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:16.299
not are we the worse. But take heed, lest by

221
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.299
any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block

222
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.120
to them that are weak. For any man that sees

223
00:15:22.629 --> 00:15:25.269
which as knowledge sit and meet in the idol's temple,

224
00:15:25.330 --> 00:15:27.610
shall not the conscience of him which is weak be

225
00:15:27.690 --> 00:15:31.190
emboldened to each those things which are offered to idols.

226
00:15:31.370 --> 00:15:34.409
And though through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish,

227
00:15:35.049 --> 00:15:39.750
for whom the anointed one of Yah died. But when

228
00:15:39.769 --> 00:15:42.950
you sin so against the brethren and wound their weak conscience,

229
00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:46.500
you sin against the anointed one of Yah. Wherefore, if

230
00:15:46.549 --> 00:15:49.000
food make my brother to offend, I will eat no

231
00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:52.360
flesh while the world stands. Lest I make my brother

232
00:15:52.419 --> 00:15:57.480
to offend. I don't think this really has much impact today.

233
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.419
But basically what it's saying is don't do something that's

234
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.629
offensive to others because you are taking a libertarian view

235
00:16:08.649 --> 00:16:14.350
of your relationship with God. And just on that point,

236
00:16:15.129 --> 00:16:17.970
don't make a big thing out of no pork, no shellfish, etc.,

237
00:16:19.070 --> 00:16:23.429
Those prohibitions were given for health reasons. Today, most of

238
00:16:23.490 --> 00:16:28.000
them are not applicable. Don't go out of your way

239
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.679
to eat them, but don't make a big thing of it.

240
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.840
Getting upset with somebody because they eat pork or beating

241
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.379
them up or whatever some people do is just silly.

242
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.629
Chapter 9. Am I not an emissary, an apostle? Am

243
00:16:42.669 --> 00:16:45.330
I not free? Have I not seen Yahushua, the anointed

244
00:16:45.429 --> 00:16:48.950
one of Yah, our Adonai, our Lord? Are not you

245
00:16:48.990 --> 00:16:52.169
my work in Yah, the eternal self-existing? If I be

246
00:16:52.230 --> 00:16:54.629
not an emissary to others, they doubt as I am

247
00:16:54.690 --> 00:16:57.620
to you, for the seal of my emissary ship. Are

248
00:16:57.649 --> 00:17:01.299
you in Yah, the eternal self-existing? My answer to them

249
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.680
that do examine me is this. Have we not power

250
00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:06.640
to eat and to drink? Have we not power to

251
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.559
lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other emissaries?

252
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.759
And as the brethren of Adonai and Kepha, brothers of Yeshua,

253
00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:18.799
Or I only and Barnabas have we no right to

254
00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:22.299
refrain from working? Who goes to warfare any time at

255
00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:24.769
his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and eats not

256
00:17:24.809 --> 00:17:27.890
of the fruit thereof? Who feeds a flock and eats

257
00:17:27.990 --> 00:17:30.930
not of the milk of the flock? So these things

258
00:17:31.009 --> 00:17:33.430
is a man, who does not the Torah say the

259
00:17:33.470 --> 00:17:36.019
same also, for it is written in the Torah of Moshe,

260
00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:38.779
Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that

261
00:17:38.819 --> 00:17:42.359
treads out the grain, the corn. Does Yah take care

262
00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:48.559
for oxen? Or does he say it altogether for our sakes?

263
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.759
For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he

264
00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:54.259
that plows should plow in hope, and he that threshes

265
00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:57.509
in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we

266
00:17:57.549 --> 00:18:02.869
have sown to you spiritual things, it is a great thing.

267
00:18:03.089 --> 00:18:05.009
Is it a great thing if we shall reap your

268
00:18:05.049 --> 00:18:08.849
material things? So this is an important principle that is

269
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:12.380
largely ignored in this year. If one is fed spiritually

270
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.680
by a certain person, then that one should contribute financially

271
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.480
and in other material ways to that person. It distresses me.

272
00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.869
I work hard to support my ministry, to keep the

273
00:18:26.910 --> 00:18:31.130
websites open, to keep the mailing lists running, etc. And

274
00:18:31.150 --> 00:18:33.930
I've been through a tough time and I still manage

275
00:18:33.950 --> 00:18:36.589
to keep most of them going. And then I have

276
00:18:36.630 --> 00:18:39.890
people who badger me for money as though somehow I'm

277
00:18:39.930 --> 00:18:43.970
a bank. And they should be giving to me not

278
00:18:44.029 --> 00:18:46.779
me to them. So if you're in the habit of

279
00:18:46.890 --> 00:18:51.480
asking me or others like me for money, stop it, please.

280
00:18:51.980 --> 00:19:01.509
It's not appropriate. Read this passage. Verse 12. If others

281
00:19:01.569 --> 00:19:06.369
be partakers of this authority over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless,

282
00:19:06.430 --> 00:19:08.730
we have not used this authority, but put up with

283
00:19:08.789 --> 00:19:11.009
all things, lest we should hinder the good news of

284
00:19:11.049 --> 00:19:13.559
the United One of Yahweh. Do you not know that

285
00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:16.769
they which minister about set-apart things live off the things

286
00:19:16.809 --> 00:19:18.789
of the temple, and they which wait at the altar

287
00:19:18.829 --> 00:19:21.890
are partakers of the altar? Even so, as you are

288
00:19:21.910 --> 00:19:24.869
the eternally self-existing ordained, that they which preach the good

289
00:19:24.930 --> 00:19:27.430
news should live off the good news. Though I have

290
00:19:27.509 --> 00:19:29.970
used none of these things, neither have I written these things,

291
00:19:30.009 --> 00:19:32.309
that I should be so done to me. For it

292
00:19:32.349 --> 00:19:34.630
were better for me to die than that any man

293
00:19:34.670 --> 00:19:38.220
should make my cavalling, my glorifying work. A little bit

294
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.680
of boasting there. I subscribe to his point of views.

295
00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:47.140
I work to support my ministry. I don't rely on donations,

296
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:55.369
although donations are very, very welcome. What can I say?

297
00:19:55.390 --> 00:20:00.069
Verse 16. Though I preach the good news, I have

298
00:20:00.130 --> 00:20:04.450
nothing to cavod of or glorify of. Necessity is laid

299
00:20:04.529 --> 00:20:07.630
upon me. Yea, woe is me if I preach not

300
00:20:07.650 --> 00:20:10.589
the good news. But if I do this thing willingly,

301
00:20:10.670 --> 00:20:12.630
I have a reward of it, if against my will

302
00:20:12.690 --> 00:20:15.470
a dispensation of the good news is committed to me.

303
00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:18.750
What is my reward then? Verily, that when I preach

304
00:20:18.769 --> 00:20:21.299
the good news, I may make the good news of

305
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.420
the anointed one of Yahweh without charge, that I abuse

306
00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:27.299
not my authority in the good news. Though I be

307
00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:29.980
free from all men, yet have I made myself servant

308
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.599
to all, that I might gain them all. And to

309
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:35.680
the Yehudi I become as a Yehudi, that I might

310
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.500
gain the Yehudi, To them that are under the Torah,

311
00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:41.420
as under the Torah, that I might gain them that

312
00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:45.710
are under the Torah. To them that are without the Torah,

313
00:20:45.849 --> 00:20:48.869
as without the Torah, being not without the Torah, but

314
00:20:48.930 --> 00:20:50.990
under the Torah, to the anointed one of Yah, that

315
00:20:51.029 --> 00:20:54.509
I might gain them that are without the Torah. To

316
00:20:54.529 --> 00:21:00.180
the weak, I became as weak, that I might gain

317
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:05.180
the weak. I made all things to all men, that

318
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.940
I might be by all means save some. And this

319
00:21:09.029 --> 00:21:11.109
I do for the good news' sake, that I might

320
00:21:11.190 --> 00:21:14.670
be partaker thereof with you. Know you not that they

321
00:21:14.690 --> 00:21:18.049
which run in a race run all, but one receives

322
00:21:18.109 --> 00:21:22.210
the prize, so run that you may obtain. And every

323
00:21:22.250 --> 00:21:25.200
man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things.

324
00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:28.640
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but

325
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:34.789
we are incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as one

326
00:21:34.809 --> 00:21:39.589
that beats the air, but I keep under my body

327
00:21:39.650 --> 00:21:42.839
and bring it into subjection, lest by any means, when

328
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.559
I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

329
00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:56.700
In fact, this is such a hugely important passage. This

330
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.920
thing about once saved, always saved is off the mark.

331
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:07.200
You get saved. That puts you on the racetrack, running

332
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.579
to the destination of the end of your life to

333
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.029
serve Yah, to be his friend, to be his servant,

334
00:22:14.769 --> 00:22:21.089
to do whatever comes to you to do. And you

335
00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:25.390
have a choice. You can go all out, as Paul

336
00:22:25.430 --> 00:22:28.900
is saying here, run the race that you shall win

337
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.599
the race and receive the prize. and the prize is

338
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.259
potentially a high throne in heaven for eternity, or potter

339
00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:38.680
along and do almost nothing and end up in the

340
00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:42.019
outer darkness in heaven with weeping and wailing and gnashing

341
00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:44.160
of teeth when you realize how badly you've missed it,

342
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:50.380
or anywhere in between. Foolish virgins, adulterous wives, wise stewards,

343
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:56.539
good and faithful servants, overcomers, continuum from the outer reaches

344
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.980
of the throne room to the highest thrones in heaven,

345
00:23:00.420 --> 00:23:04.529
then it's entirely up to you where you end up.

346
00:23:05.569 --> 00:23:08.849
But very few people are actually teaching that you need

347
00:23:08.890 --> 00:23:13.710
to work at it. You don't just pray a prayer,

348
00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:18.559
go forward to an altar, pray a prayer, and that's it, folks.

349
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.759
If you just do that, you'll end up in the

350
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:26.839
outer darkness. Be careful. There's a huge opportunity and there's

351
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:32.460
a huge risk. Chapter 10. Moreover, brethren, I would not

352
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.960
that you should be ignorant how that all our fathers

353
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.140
were under the cloud and all passed through the sea,

354
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.980
and were all immersed to Moshe in the cloud and

355
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:43.150
in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual food,

356
00:23:43.230 --> 00:23:46.130
and did all drink the same spiritual drink. For they

357
00:23:46.150 --> 00:23:48.950
drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that

358
00:23:49.009 --> 00:23:51.890
rock was the anointing of Yah. But with many of

359
00:23:51.930 --> 00:23:54.470
them Yah was not well pleased, for they were overthrown

360
00:23:54.509 --> 00:23:57.789
in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples to

361
00:23:57.809 --> 00:24:01.069
the extent intent we should not lust after evil things

362
00:24:01.670 --> 00:24:05.089
as they also lusted. Neither be you idolaters as were

363
00:24:05.109 --> 00:24:07.990
some of them as it is written. People sat down

364
00:24:08.049 --> 00:24:10.930
to eat and drink and rose up to play. And

365
00:24:10.970 --> 00:24:14.730
if you're not clear what's being said here, go and

366
00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:22.960
read in particularly the first five books of the Bible.

367
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:30.430
After Yah appeared to Israel, Israel, on the mountain at Sinai.

368
00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:36.259
People got off the mark in all sorts of ways,

369
00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:42.839
and Father sent fire from heaven to consume them. The

370
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:49.920
earth opened up and swallowed some of them. It's not

371
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:55.690
advisable to play games with Yah. As a general rule,

372
00:24:55.730 --> 00:24:59.380
he's merciful and oft-forgiving. But if you go too far,

373
00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:03.599
he will give you what in Afrikaans is called the varamklap,

374
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:09.480
a hot smack. And he might say, well, you know what,

375
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.779
you've gone too far. I'm going to take you off

376
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:19.670
the earth prematurely. Be careful. This journey that we're on

377
00:25:20.950 --> 00:25:24.250
is not as simplistic and comfortable and easy as as

378
00:25:24.829 --> 00:25:27.930
many people make it out to be. It is a

379
00:25:28.069 --> 00:25:36.539
tough journey. The way is straight and the gate is narrow.

380
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:44.519
Think about it. Verse 8. Neither let us commit fornication

381
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:50.220
as some of them committed and fell in one day 23,000.

382
00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:52.640
Neither let us tempt the anointing of the Spirit of Yah,

383
00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:55.519
some of them also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.

384
00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:58.759
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured and

385
00:25:58.819 --> 00:26:02.509
were destroyed by the destroyer. All these things happened to

386
00:26:02.549 --> 00:26:05.930
them for examples, and they are written for our admonition,

387
00:26:05.950 --> 00:26:09.630
on whom the ends of the earth, the world, are come. Again,

388
00:26:09.650 --> 00:26:11.809
he's getting into this thing about the ends of the world.

389
00:26:12.230 --> 00:26:15.329
It's 2,000 years from where he's writing, and it's 3,000

390
00:26:15.329 --> 00:26:23.549
years actually. Well, not 2,000 years, 3,000 years. Verse 12. Wherefore,

391
00:26:23.609 --> 00:26:27.049
let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall.

392
00:26:27.069 --> 00:26:30.839
There is no temptation taken you, but such as is

393
00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:34.140
common to man. But Yah is a munafil, faithful, who

394
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.920
will not allow you to be tested above that you

395
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.200
are able, but will with the temptation also make a

396
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.700
way to escape that you may be able to bear it.

397
00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:47.839
So a couple of key points there. Beware when you

398
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.500
think you stand, lest you fall. Read the final quest

399
00:26:51.539 --> 00:26:54.220
by Rick Joyner for a clear explanation of this. If

400
00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:57.500
you go on the website, the ETI Bible version, under

401
00:26:57.539 --> 00:27:01.400
that you'll find the final quest with comments, and I

402
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.619
suggest you read that. There's a lot of useful information.

403
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.069
A few things is off the mark, but still some

404
00:27:07.150 --> 00:27:12.730
useful information. And then a critical principle. God will not

405
00:27:12.789 --> 00:27:15.329
permit you to be tested beyond what you can endure.

406
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:19.259
You may be tested to the limit, but God will

407
00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:21.920
always provide a way out for those with eyes to

408
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.940
see and ears to hear. I've prayed, Father, judge me

409
00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:27.240
severely and correct me harshly, that I may serve you

410
00:27:27.289 --> 00:27:30.670
more perfectly for many years. And I've never been judged

411
00:27:30.730 --> 00:27:35.910
beyond what I could endure, overcome, and learn from. And

412
00:27:35.950 --> 00:27:39.019
there have been times when I missed it, and I

413
00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:44.920
didn't realize I was being judged. And I've paid a

414
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:52.119
serious price for that. Verse 14. Wherefore, my dearly beloved,

415
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.400
flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men. Judge

416
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.779
you what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless,

417
00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:01.769
is it not the sharing of the blood of the

418
00:28:01.829 --> 00:28:04.190
anointed one of Yah? The bread which we break, is

419
00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:06.190
it not the sharing of the body of the anointed

420
00:28:06.289 --> 00:28:10.269
one of Yah? In both cases, Yahushua. For we, being many,

421
00:28:10.289 --> 00:28:14.470
are one bread and one body. for we are all

422
00:28:14.549 --> 00:28:23.890
partakers of that one bread. So the metaphor is perhaps confusing,

423
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.440
but it's saying that because we eat the bread which

424
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.960
Yeshua said, this is my body, and drink the grape juice,

425
00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:36.809
the wine, this is my blood, we are bound into

426
00:28:36.869 --> 00:28:42.140
the new covenant of Yahushua. Verse 18. Behold, Israel, after

427
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.180
the flesh, are not they which eat the sacrifices, partakers

428
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.180
of the altar? What say I then, that the idol

429
00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:51.279
is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifices to

430
00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:54.220
idols is anything? But I say that the things which

431
00:28:54.259 --> 00:28:57.619
the Haggai and the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils

432
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.140
and not to Yah, and I would not that you

433
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:05.009
should have fellowship with devils, demons, ancestor spirits, the spirits

434
00:29:05.109 --> 00:29:10.789
of deceased unbelievers. Reading 1. You cannot drink the cup

435
00:29:10.829 --> 00:29:13.579
of Yah, the attorney self-existing, and the cup of devils.

436
00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:17.039
You cannot be partakers of Yah's table and the table

437
00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:20.819
of devils. So just be a little bit careful there.

438
00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:24.180
Do we provoke Yah, the attorney self-existing, to jealousy? Are

439
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:28.920
we stronger than he? So there's a big piece, folks.

440
00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:31.680
Once you have said, Yah, I believe you exist, you

441
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:36.890
are on a journey. Down there or up there is

442
00:29:36.970 --> 00:29:43.049
entirely your choice. 23. All things are lawful for me,

443
00:29:43.089 --> 00:29:45.650
but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful

444
00:29:45.710 --> 00:29:48.819
for me, but not all things edify. Let no man

445
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.960
seek his own, but every man another's well-being. Whatsoever is

446
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:55.779
sold in the meat market, that eat, ask no question

447
00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:59.630
for conscience's sake. The earth is your, the eternal self-existence,

448
00:29:59.730 --> 00:30:02.970
and the fullness thereof. Any of them that believe not,

449
00:30:03.069 --> 00:30:05.789
but due to a feast, and you be disposed to go,

450
00:30:05.869 --> 00:30:09.529
whatsoever is said before you eat, asking no question for

451
00:30:09.589 --> 00:30:12.480
conscience' sake. If any man say to you, this is

452
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:16.259
offered in sacrifice to idols, eat not for his sake

453
00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:20.000
that showed it, and for conscience' sake. For the earth

454
00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:24.119
is your, the eternal self-existence. So he's going on about

455
00:30:24.539 --> 00:30:27.940
offerings to idols. I don't think that applies really much,

456
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:32.269
certainly not in the society where I live, but be

457
00:30:32.329 --> 00:30:37.369
aware of it. Verse 29. Conscience, I say, not thine own,

458
00:30:37.410 --> 00:30:40.289
but of the other. For why is my liberty judged

459
00:30:40.369 --> 00:30:44.809
of another man's conscience? If I by chain favor be

460
00:30:44.829 --> 00:30:49.059
a partaker, why am I evil spoken of that for

461
00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:52.500
which I give thanks? whether therefore you eat or drink

462
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.480
or whatever you do, do all to the kavod of Yah,

463
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:58.740
the glory of Yah. Give none offense, neither to the

464
00:30:58.809 --> 00:31:03.710
Yahudin or the Hagoyim or the assembly of Yah. We

465
00:31:03.769 --> 00:31:06.009
call to set an example and to live in peace

466
00:31:06.029 --> 00:31:09.009
with all, not to strive and be controversial. There's a

467
00:31:09.049 --> 00:31:13.220
big piece here in what he's saying. He's don't get

468
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:19.609
into fights with the unbelievers. I periodically get these emails

469
00:31:19.670 --> 00:31:26.470
from people who are going on about things that unbelievers

470
00:31:26.529 --> 00:31:31.210
are doing, and it's impressed on me to say, your

471
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.400
ministry is not to the unbelievers. The only thing you

472
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.680
have to talk to unbelievers about is believe in Yahud,

473
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.420
the eternally self-existing, and come to a relationship with Him.

474
00:31:41.619 --> 00:31:45.799
Telling them that their fornication, et cetera, is wrong is silly.

475
00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:50.259
They don't serve YAH. They're not subject to the Ten Commandments.

476
00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:56.500
They can do what they like. Concentrate on the believers,

477
00:31:57.420 --> 00:32:10.809
or if you're an evangelist, evangelize the unbelievers. Chapter 11.

478
00:32:10.809 --> 00:32:13.490
Be you followers of me, even as I am also

479
00:32:13.690 --> 00:32:17.859
of the anointed one of YAH. Now I praise you, brethren,

480
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.059
that you remember me in all things and keep the

481
00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:23.160
ordinances as I deliver them to you. But I would

482
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.400
have you know that the head of every man is

483
00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:27.160
the anointed one of Yah, and the head of the

484
00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:29.680
woman is the man, and the head of the anointed

485
00:32:29.779 --> 00:32:33.480
one of Yah is Yah. Every man praying or prophesying,

486
00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:38.640
having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. But every woman

487
00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:43.200
that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head.

488
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:47.150
That is even all. one as if she were shaven.

489
00:32:47.950 --> 00:32:50.759
If the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn.

490
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.500
But if it be a shame for a woman to

491
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:56.500
be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a

492
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:58.960
man indeed ought not to cover his head for as

493
00:32:59.019 --> 00:33:01.319
much as he is the image and kavod of Yah,

494
00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:04.220
but the woman is the kavod of the man. The

495
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.650
man is not of the woman, but the woman of

496
00:33:07.670 --> 00:33:14.470
the man. That piece upsets me. It's a worldly opinion.

497
00:33:15.849 --> 00:33:19.230
In over 33 years of actively serving YAH as a spokesman,

498
00:33:19.289 --> 00:33:22.400
as a prophet, he has never once told me that

499
00:33:22.460 --> 00:33:26.440
my woman should wear a head covering. I prefer long

500
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.799
hair on a woman, but that is not always possible,

501
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.160
and I'm clear that it is my preference and not

502
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.660
YAH's command. I hold that all such teachings that put

503
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.029
women in a subordinate position are not from YAH. I

504
00:33:38.089 --> 00:33:41.609
also hold that the slavish insistence on women wearing a

505
00:33:41.630 --> 00:33:45.140
head covering in some quarters is is carnal and it's

506
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.519
not from Yah. Folks, men and women are equal before Yah.

507
00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:58.269
Women are not subservient to men. They are asked to

508
00:33:58.329 --> 00:34:02.970
submit to their husbands if they're married as an act

509
00:34:03.069 --> 00:34:06.069
of the will, just like the second in command of

510
00:34:06.130 --> 00:34:10.159
a military regiment submits to the first, to the commanding officer.

511
00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:15.099
It's the same principle. They're equally capable, competent individuals. The

512
00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:18.190
one says, I will come alongside you and support you,

513
00:34:18.570 --> 00:34:21.030
and I will take my direction from you. That's what

514
00:34:21.070 --> 00:34:28.489
submission means. Verse 9, neither was the man created for

515
00:34:28.510 --> 00:34:32.679
the woman, but the woman for the man. Sorry, don't

516
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.949
buy that. This cause ought the woman to have authority

517
00:34:37.010 --> 00:34:40.610
on her head because of the messengers. Nevertheless, neither is

518
00:34:40.650 --> 00:34:43.389
the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man,

519
00:34:43.469 --> 00:34:46.590
and you are the eternally self-existing. As the woman is

520
00:34:46.650 --> 00:34:48.829
of the man, even so is the man also by

521
00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:52.190
the woman, but all things of you are. Judge in yourselves.

522
00:34:52.909 --> 00:34:55.489
Is it comely that a woman pray to you are uncovered?

523
00:34:56.030 --> 00:34:58.510
Does not even nature itself teach you that if a

524
00:34:58.570 --> 00:35:00.519
man have long hair, it is a shame to him,

525
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:03.340
if a woman have long hair, it is a cavod

526
00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:07.090
to her? He is given for recovering. If any man

527
00:35:07.130 --> 00:35:10.719
seem to be contentious, we have no such custom. Neither

528
00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:16.300
the same needs we are. So he's contradicting himself. As

529
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.519
I've just said, I don't buy that. A woman is

530
00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:35.289
not for the man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This whole thing,

531
00:35:35.309 --> 00:35:43.840
and it permeates religion, permeates society. The women are put down.

532
00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:47.800
And Yah did not intend that. There's a teaching, if

533
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.059
you go on the internet, that Chava Eve was not

534
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:55.300
formed from the rib of Adam. She was formed from

535
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:58.909
the side of Adam. Adam was effectively split in two,

536
00:35:59.449 --> 00:36:01.349
and the man and the woman.

537
00:36:02.670 --> 00:36:03.030
Were there.

538
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:09.199
Women are equal before you are with men in all things.

539
00:36:12.170 --> 00:36:18.690
Submit as an act of discipline. Verse 17. Now in

540
00:36:18.710 --> 00:36:21.070
this that I declare to you, I praise you not,

541
00:36:21.309 --> 00:36:23.449
that you come together not for the better but for

542
00:36:23.469 --> 00:36:26.530
the worst. First of all, when you come together in

543
00:36:26.570 --> 00:36:29.150
the assembly, I hear that there are divisions among you

544
00:36:29.170 --> 00:36:32.150
and I partly believe it. For there must also be

545
00:36:32.210 --> 00:36:34.710
factions among you, that they which are approved may be

546
00:36:34.750 --> 00:36:38.570
revealed among you. When you come together, therefore, into one place,

547
00:36:38.610 --> 00:36:41.650
this is not to eat Adonai's supper, for in eating

548
00:36:41.829 --> 00:36:45.449
every one taketh before other his own supper, and one

549
00:36:45.510 --> 00:36:48.739
is hungry and another is drunken. What, have you not

550
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.400
houses to eat and drink in, or despise you the

551
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:54.440
assembly of Yahuah, and shame them that have not? What

552
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:56.480
shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this?

553
00:36:56.659 --> 00:36:59.360
I praise you not. For I have received of Adonai

554
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.489
In other words, Yahushua, the Lord, which also I delivered

555
00:37:04.530 --> 00:37:07.309
to you, that Adonai Yahushua, the same night in which

556
00:37:07.349 --> 00:37:10.150
he was betrayed, took bread. When he had given thanks,

557
00:37:10.190 --> 00:37:13.110
he break it and said, take, eat. This is my body,

558
00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:15.699
which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.

559
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:21.239
So he makes an important point that you will have

560
00:37:21.300 --> 00:37:25.869
different levels of obedience and relationship with Yah in an assembly.

561
00:37:28.610 --> 00:37:32.440
Don't get into fights about it. Just hold your peace.

562
00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:36.260
If you can't teach them, and they don't want to teach,

563
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:45.920
move on if necessary. Verse 25. After the same manner

564
00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:48.340
also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,

565
00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:51.460
This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do

566
00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:53.639
this as often as you shall drink it in remembrance

567
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:58.750
of me. So important to recognize that Yeshua introduced a

568
00:37:58.989 --> 00:38:05.219
new covenant, not a renewed covenant, and not a new testament,

569
00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:11.659
not a new will. A new covenant. The old one

570
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:14.780
didn't work. I'm giving you a new one. Much easier.

571
00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:18.139
So just comply with the terms of the new covenant.

572
00:38:23.829 --> 00:38:26.610
For as a 26. For as often as you eat

573
00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:29.460
this bread and drink this cup, you do show Adonai's

574
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:33.219
death till he comes. Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread

575
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:38.880
and drink this cup of Adonai unworthily shall be guilty

576
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.659
of the body and blood of Adonai. But let a

577
00:38:41.699 --> 00:38:44.800
man examine himself, and so let him eat of that

578
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.579
bread and drink of that cup. For he that eats

579
00:38:47.659 --> 00:38:50.699
and drinks unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not

580
00:38:50.739 --> 00:38:54.289
discerning Adonai's body. For this cause many are weak and

581
00:38:54.329 --> 00:38:57.289
sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would

582
00:38:57.329 --> 00:38:59.789
judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we

583
00:38:59.849 --> 00:39:02.679
are judged, we are chastened of the idea to any self-existing,

584
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:06.320
that we should not be condemned with the world. So

585
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:10.199
there clearly is judgment in this life. You can be

586
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:13.880
condemned with the world. Folks, you can't just carry on

587
00:39:13.980 --> 00:39:17.809
doing your own thing, whatever suits you, and think that

588
00:39:17.849 --> 00:39:19.409
you're going to be in right standing with your eyes.

589
00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:25.460
If you're a believer and things go wrong, it's judgment. 33. Wherefore,

590
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:27.949
my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait one

591
00:39:27.989 --> 00:39:29.980
for another, and if any man is hungry, let him eat.

592
00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:32.840
him eat at home but you come not together to

593
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.300
condemnation and the rest will i set in order when

594
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:41.750
i come so i just want to make a couple

595
00:39:41.769 --> 00:39:45.969
of points here folks for me i've been down a

596
00:39:46.030 --> 00:39:50.719
journey recently in terms of my understanding of where women

597
00:39:50.840 --> 00:40:00.449
stand relative to men and relative to YAH. This piece

598
00:40:00.530 --> 00:40:05.489
about Chava was formed from the side of Ayah Adam,

599
00:40:05.730 --> 00:40:12.320
not the rib. It's really important. This thing of making

600
00:40:12.380 --> 00:40:20.739
women subservient, must wear keffers and things, It's out, it's wrong,

601
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:26.550
it's not from you. Treating women as second-rate citizens is

602
00:40:26.670 --> 00:40:34.269
not from you. Please, if you're guilty of that, repent,

603
00:40:34.969 --> 00:40:45.489
sort it out. It's important. So, In wrapping up, I'd

604
00:40:45.530 --> 00:40:47.230
like to ask you, what is the state of your

605
00:40:47.289 --> 00:40:50.179
relationship with the Almighty Creator? I'd like to ask you

606
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:53.440
to critically examine where you are relative to Him right now.

607
00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:56.800
Do you talk to Him constantly throughout the day and

608
00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:00.119
allow Him to lead you in every possible way? Do

609
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:05.769
you worship Him at every opportunity? Have you clearly and

610
00:41:05.849 --> 00:41:09.289
unambiguously heard Him call you friend? If not, you're failing

611
00:41:09.309 --> 00:41:11.989
in your life purpose and you'll be bitterly disappointed when

612
00:41:12.010 --> 00:41:16.320
you die. If you now come to belief, please pray

613
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:19.420
along the following lines. Father, I come to you in

614
00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:22.000
the name of Yahushua. I now believe that you exist.

615
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.179
I confess my sin of unbelief and repent of my

616
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.019
unbelief and I ask you to forgive my sin. And

617
00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:29.880
I commit my life to you and I ask you

618
00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:31.840
to take me by the hand and lead me into

619
00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:34.880
deep relationship with you. I ask you to fill me

620
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:36.940
with your spirit and to change me and help me

621
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.530
to become the person you want me to become. I

622
00:41:39.570 --> 00:41:41.449
ask you to help me to find people who can

623
00:41:41.489 --> 00:41:44.230
help me and help me find books, websites, articles, and

624
00:41:44.269 --> 00:41:47.530
other resources that will help me. I ask you to

625
00:41:47.590 --> 00:41:49.789
show me what I can do to actively serve you

626
00:41:49.849 --> 00:41:53.460
and lead others to deep personal relationship with you. I

627
00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:56.360
thank you for saving me. There's a period of eight

628
00:41:56.400 --> 00:42:00.320
days from sincerely coming to belief for the first time

629
00:42:00.900 --> 00:42:04.260
during which there is extreme grace to help you. See

630
00:42:04.300 --> 00:42:07.269
the article Critical Actions on First Belief for Actions that

631
00:42:07.289 --> 00:42:10.650
you should take immediately. Drop me an email at james

632

634
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:21.619
you're saying, you know what, I want to become a

635
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:26.239
friend of Yah, I encourage you right now, put up

636
00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:30.019
your hand and say, Father Yah, James says I can

637
00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:33.199
become your friend. James says I can sit on the

638
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:37.619
high throne with you for eternity. Father, I desire that

639
00:42:38.219 --> 00:42:42.769
with all my heart. I give you my life and

640
00:42:42.789 --> 00:42:47.349
I ask you to help me to do what's necessary

641
00:42:47.369 --> 00:42:51.849
for me to become your friend. And then pray accordingly.

642
00:42:51.929 --> 00:42:55.110
Pray as you feel it. Email me. I would love

643

join the mailing list at james at endtimemissionministries.org. If you

653
00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:45.260
decide to draw close to me, to the Almighty, please

654
00:43:45.300 --> 00:43:49.179
let me know and I will connect with you by Zoom, Teams, email, LinkedIn, Facebook,

655
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.429
WhatsApp or telephone so I can help you with your journey.

656
00:43:52.699 --> 00:43:54.619
I hope to connect with you again next week when

657
00:43:54.659 --> 00:43:57.590
I will continue to explore how to become a friend

658
00:43:57.630 --> 00:44:00.449
of the Creator. Work with me to make a way

659
00:44:00.510 --> 00:44:02.670
for your Hushua to return in victory at the end

660
00:44:02.690 --> 00:44:06.130
of the millennium and make his enemies his footstool. Folks,

661
00:44:06.190 --> 00:44:08.190
if you're sort of sitting on the fence about this

662
00:44:08.230 --> 00:44:13.380
thing of becoming a friend of yours, please don't go

663
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:15.659
down the road, I'm not a this one or a

664
00:44:15.699 --> 00:44:21.610
that one or a David, chosen whatever. The thing of

665
00:44:21.710 --> 00:44:27.050
chosen groups of people hasn't worked. Yah said, you know what?

666
00:44:27.809 --> 00:44:30.929
I'm stepping back from that now. I will work with

667
00:44:30.969 --> 00:44:35.119
whoever will work with me. It does not matter whether

668
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:38.599
you're educated or uneducated. It doesn't matter whether you've ever

669
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.300
read the Bible or the Torah or the Quran or

670
00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:45.599
the whatever. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.

671
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:49.300
It doesn't matter if you're educated or uneducated. It doesn't

672
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:54.400
matter if you are tall or short, thin or fat.

673
00:44:54.420 --> 00:44:59.679
It doesn't matter if you've got blonde hair and blue eyes,

674
00:45:00.570 --> 00:45:03.309
black hair and brown eyes or anything in between. It

675
00:45:03.389 --> 00:45:10.510
doesn't matter if you're African, Asian, Indian, American, European, Caucasian, whatever.

676
00:45:10.530 --> 00:45:15.510
It doesn't matter. If you are Buddhist or Confucius or

677
00:45:15.530 --> 00:45:22.829
Hindu or Muslim, Christian or Jew, whatever, it doesn't matter

678
00:45:22.889 --> 00:45:24.929
if you're a Satanist. It doesn't matter if you're a

679
00:45:24.949 --> 00:45:29.420
Satanist killer. It doesn't matter if you're an Islamist killer.

680
00:45:30.420 --> 00:45:33.139
or any other thing that you can think of as

681
00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:35.670
an excuse to say, I'm not good enough. It's got

682
00:45:35.750 --> 00:45:37.929
nothing to do with you being good enough. It's got

683
00:45:38.010 --> 00:45:40.389
everything to do with YAH being good enough. And He

684
00:45:40.429 --> 00:45:43.590
will meet you wherever you are today. Put up your

685
00:45:43.630 --> 00:45:45.750
hands and say, Father YAH, I want to get close

686
00:45:45.789 --> 00:45:47.619
to you. I want to be your friend. Please help me.

687
00:45:48.139 --> 00:45:52.659
And He will help you. And email me, james at endtimeministries.org,

688
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:55.000
and I will help you. Folks, we're running out of time.

689
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.570
For those of you who've only joined recently, please stay on.

690
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:00.840
I've got something to share with you. Those who've been

691
00:46:00.860 --> 00:46:02.739
walking with me for a while, thank you so much.

692
00:46:02.780 --> 00:46:04.900
Have a good evening, a good weekend, and a good week,

693
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:08.369
and I'll see you next Friday. Good night. For those

694
00:46:08.409 --> 00:46:11.429
who stayed behind in closing, who am I? James Robertson.

695
00:46:12.090 --> 00:46:14.230
I have a doctorate in engineering, and I'm a retired

696
00:46:14.289 --> 00:46:18.429
military commander. I now work as a management consultant. I

697
00:46:18.449 --> 00:46:21.710
have over 33 years' experience of actively seeking to draw

698
00:46:21.730 --> 00:46:25.599
close to the mighty God following a dramatic encounter with

699
00:46:25.619 --> 00:46:28.199
him on the 12th of March 1993, when he spoke

700
00:46:28.219 --> 00:46:30.579
to me audibly in a locked room, and I knew

701
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:33.559
for certain that he was real. In learning about Father,

702
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:36.340
I applied my deep-seated aversion to failure, born out of

703
00:46:36.380 --> 00:46:39.760
an accident in early childhood, coupled to my engineering and

704
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:43.389
military training of rigor in preventing failure, to my seeking

705
00:46:43.429 --> 00:46:47.929
of knowledge about Father. This journey led to numerous supernatural experiences,

706
00:46:48.010 --> 00:46:51.690
prayers answered, and clear communication with the Creator. It forms

707
00:46:51.730 --> 00:46:54.860
the basis for what I teach in these programs. See

708
00:46:54.900 --> 00:46:57.739
the video, Why Seek Relationship, for an overview of what

709
00:46:57.780 --> 00:47:04.679
I believe. Please visit my website at www.entimationministries.org. For evidence
