If I Had 1 Minute with You

I'd say, “There is a God, and His Son is Jesus. There's plenty of archeological proof, and also textual proof. The Bible also comes from witnesses. We know because we dig up things in the ground that it directly talks about. And the written records of Him, called the Gospel, come from eyewitnesses of Jesus, that He fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies. And they say fulfilling 8 Prophecies are 10^17 power in Probability to happen. And Jesus was murdered on a torture instrument, and buried, and in three days He raised from the Dead, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And if we confess Him as LORD, and walk in accordance with His way—which is love for God and love for your Neighbor as yourself—you will be saved and go to a paradise more rich than anything you could possibly imagine.”

Jesus as Messiah

Isaiah 53 clearly establishes that a Man’s soul must be offered for sin. And that a man was bruised and punished for our iniquities.

Zechariah 3 and 6 both name Jesus (Joshua) as Messiah, as it was unlawful for the king to be of the priesthood, yet Joshua was to be made so. Also Nehemiah says “Eat the Fat and Drink the Sweet” both were unlawful, yet the Covenant was broken when the Jews were exiled, so were awaiting a New Covenant in Christ’s Blood. Jesus showed compassion was weightier than unneeded oblations.

You said that Jehoiakim was in both Bloodlines, when in fact Luke’s comes from Nathan, David’s son not Solomon.

Also the verses in the New Testament where Jesus went through and didn’t wash, or let His disciples eat grain, it clearly establishes that Jesus is setting apart this New Covenant, to be freed from the Levitical Priesthood. As Paul says in Hebrews, “With a change of Priesthood” through Melchizedek, “Comes a change of Law.”

There’s also two everlasting covenants, one to condemn sin, and another to free men from Sin’s curse.

Also Jesus ate Passover in the beginning of Passover, when it’s night. As a Jew you know the day starts at sundown, so Jesus ate the supper when the sun set. And went to sleep in the garden, and then Judas betrayed Him in the morning. And then He was killed before the Sun went down on Ash Wednesday.

It’s also shown, that Matthew was Hebrew, as he added that detail about the Pharisee tearing his robe because the Pharisees were hypocrites.

Treatment of the Poor from Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

The meaning of this, is that the gleanings of your income are for the poor and dispossessed classes. So the 1/10000 of a cent the average taxpayer spends on someone like me, works through this charity. We’re not supposed to be so greedy that we can’t lend a little to the poor, including through Law.

Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

So in the Jewish Tradition, they had sabbatical years, where they forgave all debts. The Seventh Year, was always a year for forgiving debts. So, this means that debts should be forgiven past a certain point. And because of this, the poor are to be loaned what they need, and pay back whatever they can when they are profited. And the rest is to be forgiven when the Sabbatical Year comes.

Laws Concerning Captive Wives

10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Sell Her H4376 - sell away,
A primitive root; to sell, literally (as merchandise, a daughter in marriage, into slavery), or figuratively (to surrender) -- X at all, sell (away, -er, self).

Make Merchandise H6014 - bind sheaves, make merchandise of
A primitive root; properly, apparently to heap; figuratively, to chastise (as if piling blows); specifically (as denominative from omer) to gather grain -- bind sheaves, make merchandise of.

On Good and Bad People

I think a good person doesn’t think one way or another about themselves. They don’t say, “Yeah, I’m a good person.” Because that's a sure sign they’re not. Nor do they say, “You know, I’m awful.” Although that’s often the first step to becoming good.

I’d say bad people don’t really feel like they’re bad. They feel like they’re good. I’ve met lots of people through the internet. Maybe about a score of a thousand of them. It’s the ones who cannot understand how evil they are—and you hear it in all of their words—that really are the ones who raise the hairs on the back of my neck. You know they’re dangerous… you can just sense it, and they’ll lash out at you for anything you say to them. I’ve ministered the gospel to a lot of these people, and surely enough, they’re always the ones that bring up the verses about slavery and genocide—because that’s the part of the Bible that judges them for their sin. And they’ll twist scripture in ways that totally distort its meaning, saying they have it all answered. And normally, these same people think they’re actually good. I honestly think if those people were good, they’d understand a lot more than they presume.

Or the ones who say, “There’s moral atheists,” are the same ones who will say that morals are subjective and man made, which begs the question, if something like “Cannibalism” were normative in the culture, and they ate human meat, would they still call themselves moral? The answer is yes they would, because they already justify murder through abortion and LGBT lifestyle, despite it being so gross. They include that in their knowledge of philosophy. It’s a mind game. “I know moral atheists” is as valid a statement as “I know moral cannibals.” It's just if the culture deems it, so it is, and they perfectly validate it through those means, throwing out the millennia of natural religion that saw those things as aberrant. For instance, in Greek and Latin they didn’t even have a word for the behavior, Paul had to literally make it up. That's how abnormal LGBT is. But, it’s being spun that it’s perfectly normal, but there’s been laws against it many times in history, often for the fact that it crops up, and usually perverts everyone and causes stupid thoughts to arise in people, that leads to selfish behavior, and then every human atrocity ever imagined.

So, generally, I don't think bad people have the capacity to know they’re bad. And I’ve always noticed the absolute worst sorts of offenders, truly believe they’re good people, or they call themselves “Moral.” I truly don’t see moral people anywhere. I did when I was younger, see moral people. But that was with Christianity. I’ve seen two moral Muslims. But generally, we’re all sinners, in need of salvation. And that’s who Christ is, is to take our punishment into His flesh, because no one is good.

Another Midrash

LORD, You are creator of man, and beast. You are supreme above all other living things. You make the waves, and they do not transgress the bounds. They are turbulent, and rage, and destroy, for LORD, You are wrathful with the sons of men. They have transgressed Your holy covenant, and taught mankind to speak lies. Where shall the seed of the blessed reside? Is it not in your golden palaces and streets? Shall they drink the honeycomb and milk? Shall they eat the bread, the manna from heaven? Shall they drink the waters which are alive? Shall they eat the fruit of life? Yes, LORD, if they continue in well doing, and doing what is good. They shall have a spirit to call upon You. If not, they shall forget You and Your law, and cast it behind them. Their conscience shall be seared, and they will be lionesses searching for prey, and dogs eating the dung, and tearing the bodies in the war. They shall be the fowl above, the vultures and eagles, eating the strings of bloody carrion, which lay rotten from the dead waste. That shall be the inheritance of those who dishonor Your statutes and make not the Law their delight.

On Real Witchcraft

There is no “Meal infused with witchcraft.” So, the curse will not fall upon you. Just look at the hearts of those you dine with, if they are with you. If not, they will curse you with their hands, and seed hatred in your brethren. As that’s the only witchcraft. They will fill your mind with evil, and not good. They will cause you and tempt you to do what is not right, in order to have evidence against you, and testify that you are wicked.

That’s the only witchcraft. Which, if you give to the poor, and have a charitable heart toward your neighbor, and love your brother and do not slander him, even though you’ve sinned, you will be delivered.

On Feeding the Multitudes and Finding a Meaning in It

Some things aren’t filled with ulterior meanings. It’s just Christ was a miracle worker, and increased the food for the multitudes. Basically, you could take that to mean that if you’re wealthy to feed the hungry. Of course, Jesus did it twice… you’d wonder why He didn’t just do that all the time. But, He healed many diseases, too. He also cleansed the temple twice.

I guess, the two times He fed the multitudes, is a metaphor about timing. How, to do the right thing in the moment, rather than trying to do everything haphazardly, but to do the good deed you have in front of you. And only that, since it’s in your purview. As a lot of people believe they have to go out looking for good to do. No… let Jesus be your guide, it will find you if it’s in your capability. And if it is, do it.

Another Midrash

Eve tempted Adam to eat from the fruit after being tempted by the Serpent, and God set forth a redemption plan, to have her seed crush the Serpent’s Head, when he bruised the Seed’s heels. That Abraham had a son, Isaac, and was called to sacrifice him, but God stayed His hand, and told Abraham He would provide the sacrifice and that Abraham’s seed would bless all the nations. That Jacob wrestled with God, and prevailed, and received the blessing that the deliverer of the World would come from his seed. That Moses led the Children of Jacob out of Egypt, and into the Wilderness, and then Joshua, his predecessor, conquered the land of Canaan after Moses died. That David, the King of Israel, was issued a decree that he would have a seed that would sit on the Throne of Israel forever. That this Seed is God’s Son, made manifest in the Flesh. That He came and lived a perfect moral example for us to follow, and set down a Law so magnificent, it is superior to 30 sages. That He died and raised from the Dead, and His followers witnessed Him raised from the dead, and died believing it, sometimes unbelievable deaths. That He will return one day, being born of Zion, and be swiftly called up to the clouds, and return with 144,000 saints to slay all the sinners of the world at Armageddon. That He will live and reign on the Earth for 1,000 years, and then defeat Satan and Death in the Battle of Gog and Magog, by consuming the hordes numbered greater than the sands of the Sea with fire. And then He will marry New Jerusalem, which descends from the clouds, and is a city more glorious than we can imagine.

Another Midrash

 [T]he law condemns everyone, for it’s the punishment of God meted out against all sin, and that Christ redeemed us from it, through His blood. By having Christ, that law is no longer in effect for us, so we live by grace, but without Christ that Law will condemn us in the flesh, and destroy us in the slavery of our sin. For Christ is a New Priesthood, and with a change of Priesthood and Covenant—through Abraham’s seed—comes a change of law.
