Judgment Day in the Gospel of Matthew and the Sanhedrin

In 90 CE, the Sanhedrin adds the Birkat haMinim ("Blessing on the heretics") to synagogue services. It is a curse on heretics. The doors of synagogues are now closed to members of the Jesus Movement. The Pharisees had always controlled the new Sanhedrin. However, it is important to understand that there were sects within the Pharisees that ranged from being “doves” (men of peace) to “hawks” (men of war). Emperor Vespasian chose “a man of peace” to create the new Sanhedrin. But, in 90 CE it appears that the hawks had gained control. The men of peace were members of the “school of Hillel” and the “Jesus Movement.” Continue reading at -

We are Genetically Structured Creatures

SOURCE 1 The above picture was taken in 1953 when James Watson (left) and Francis Crick presented their model of a DNA molecule ( deoxyribonucleic acid model ). They had pieced together pieces of a scientific puzzle that scientists had been working on for many years. With the discovery of this model a new way of understanding life began -- humans could understand the basic building blocks of life for the first time in history. 2 Image Source 3 DNA is a double-stranded molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. 4 3,000,000 species share this genetic code. The DNA alphabet consists of four letters that represent the four chemical bases that make up the rungs of the DNA – A, T, G & C . ● A - adenine ● G - guanine ● C - cytosine ● T - thymine Be sure to note that rungs are made of combinations of “ A and T ” or “ C and G .” The h...

Distinguishing Between The Kingdom of Elohim & Cosmic Wars

A cosmic war is like a ritual drama in which participants act out on earth a battle they believe is actually taking place in the heavens. It is, in other words, both a real, physical struggle in this world and an imagined, moral encounter in the world beyond. The conflict may be real and the carnage material, but the war itself is being waged on a spiritual plane; we humans are merely actors in a divine script written by God.

The Mystery of the Seventh Day

The Seventh Day of Creation reveals a mystery that very few people have ever heard. It received the Third Blessing of the Creator, a blessing that is not recorded in the Hebrew text. The first two blessings were for creatures with living souls. The blessings empower those creatures to fulfill the words of the blessings in their lives. However, in light of the first two blessings, the third raises some very important questions. (1) Does the Seventh Day have a living soul too? (2) What did the third blessing empower the Seventh Day to do? (3) What relationship does the Seventh Day have to humans? Listen to Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and Jim Myers discuss the Mystery of the Seventh Day on the two short videos that were broadcast on Facebook Live. The videos are posted on Facebook, but you do not have to be a Facebook member or sign in to Facebook to view them.
