God’s Love Isn’t About Warm Fuzzy Feelings

The opening chapters of Genesis reveal that the highest value and top priority of the Creator of the Heavens and Earth is human life. They teach that all people are created with the spirit of the Creator, meaning with the Spirit of the Creator. Humans reveal the Creator’s Spirit to members of their generation by doing thing that measure up to the Creator’s TOV Standard – acts that protect life, preserve life, make life for functional and increase the quality of life. Religious institutions disconnected from real life or salvation doctrines that require people to believe someone’s “right theologies” were not part of the Creator’s plan.

The importance of the Creator’s Life 1st Values and TOV Standard is repeated throughout the Jewish Scriptures. There are many examples in the Bible of people, especially leaders, who elevated other things above the value of human life. Some of those people’s decisions had very bad consequences for the nation – or even for all mankind. But other’s placed life 1st and had very different outcomes. Consider Noah and his family. God saved them because Noah was righteous, which means he did TOV. The “righteous” are the heroes of the Jewish Bible. They are the ones that did acts that measured up to the Creator’s Standard and revealed His image to their generation.

The Creator’s Life 1st Values and TOV Standard are the foundation of the teachings of Yeshua and the cornerstone of his salvation message. He taught that righteous will enter eternal life. Who are the righteous in Matthew 25? They are the people from all nations that did acts of TOV in their lives – feed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, visited the sick – in other words – the righteous are the people who protected lives, preserved lives, made lives more functional and increased the quality of lives – they placed human life as their highest value and top priority.

Yeshua also taught that the only way to love God is by loving your neighbor as yourself – and he said this is the most important commandment. Doing acts of TOV is what he meant by loving them and yourself – that’s right doing acts of TOV for yourself! This requires an awareness of what’s actually going on in your life and in other people’s lives too. It means experiencing self-discovery and getting to know them also. It is a commitment to use the Creator’s TOV Standard in your life and their lives. Love, for the Creator, isn’t about having warm fuzzy feelings and “being special.” It doesn’t require constant reinforcement to keep that feelings up.

The Creator’s type of love only comes by the experience of protecting lives, preserving lives, making lives more functional and increasing the quality of lives.
It requires the experience.

Knowing this allows you to recognize presence of the Spirit of the Creator in the world today. People can’t earn this kind of love. They can’t make others love them. We can only receive this kind of love and share it with others. It isn’t a one-time ritual required to get a ticket to heaven. It is a lifestyle of love. When Yeshua instructed his followers to go into the all the world and make disciples – this is what he wanted them to demonstrate and teach to others. Today is a good day to love someone!

It’s a Yod -- NOT a Jot and Tittle!

Not only did Yeshua read and speak Hebrew, so did his followers and disciples! Two very well known, but not accurately understood words in the Gospel of Matthew prove it – jot and tittle . For some reason jot and tittle stick in the minds of Christian Bible readers. But when you ask them what jot or tittle mean, you get a lot of conflicting and some really weird answers. Today, you are going to get the facts about what Yeshua originally said and how they ended up in English translations of the Bible as jot and tittle . Let’s begin by reading Matthew 5:18 from the King James translation: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. If you have not read the article “ From Yeshua to Jesus ” in Yeshua’s Kingdom Handbook please take a moment to read it online by clicking here before you continue. In it you will see how we began with the name “ Jesus ” and traced it through Lati...

Do Not Say RAQA! - Yeshua on Anger (Part 2)

In the last blog, we covered the first part of Yeshua’s lesson on Anger -- An Angry Person Should be Tried in Court like a Murderer – keep in mind that “anger” is the focus of Yeshua’s lesson. “Whoever says to a brother, ‘ RAKA ,’ shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin.” [i] Yeshua reveals that the seriousness of the offense has become greater by elevating the crime to the next highest court – the Sanhedrin . It is the highest court in the nation and would be the equivalent of our Supreme Court. What makes this offense more serious than murder, to keep things in the context established by Yeshua? It is because of what the angry person said out of anger – “ RAKA !” RAKA is the English transliteration of the Greek word found in the ancient manuscripts of Matthew. Interestingly, the Greek word is also a transliteration of a Hebrew word into Greek. Keep in mind that when a translator working on a translation of a Greek manuscript transliterates a Greek word, he only finds ...

The Prayer Yeshua Prayed Twice Every Day

One of Jesus’s earliest memories was no doubt watching and listening to his family when they gathered to pray the Shema at sunrise before the day’s work began and after the working work day was over at sunset . He also heard and participated in praying the Shema at their synagogue. He was surrounded by neighbors who also prayed the same prayer in their homes every day. The Hebrew word for prayer is tefilah . It is derived from the root Pe-Lamed-Lamed and the word l'hitpalel, meaning “ to judge oneself .” This surprising word origin provides insight into the purpose of Jewish prayer. The most important part of any Jewish prayer, whether it be a prayer of petition, of thanksgiving, of praise of God, or of confession, is the introspection it provides, the moment that we spend looking inside ourselves, seeing our role in the universe and our relationship to God. [1] Most of Jewish prayers are expressed in the first person plural, "us" instead of "me," an...
