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
