We must slow down with our Bible readings, pausing to see what the body of evidence says; history, amongst one of the tools, to free ourselves from the doctrines of men: The reason this website exists, a platform to those ends.
Here we learn how Israel once again had fallen to external cultural norms, customs and practices outside the tenants of Hebrew teachings; that of the Greek (the Hellenization of Israel). What ensues – we see today, with mystical – even pagan practices that act to obscure the original /practical Biblical narrative.
But there exists a remedy, unbiased sources – such as the attached video, and whatever else we can glean throughout the body of Biblical research; which include archaeology and culture. We must, “seek that you (we) may find”, said YH’shua!
Solution
It’s simple, verify first. Pause in your reading to verify and correct what may seem mystical, what I call, “messages from the periphery of Israel” – such as seen in the presentation attached. Foreign concepts that are assimilated from Greek and other culture, the things we know existed in the world /culture around the Biblical Israel, not found in Bible mandate.
Our goal?
That the Bible’s original message be revealed in our Bible readings, eventually in our lives.
To separate out what does not belong!
A Note to the Wise
Soon, enough, technology that unlocks the internet will be in the hands – if not already – of every human being on the planet. Given this, there will be no excuse for not seeking; the knowledge is right at our fingertips – the Internet. A calling to seek, as Messiah taught. A voyage to a destination called salvation, according to the Bible prophets, not the opinions of external voices. May it be so in YH’shua’s example – who spoke truth to the matter, an effort to save his people from their error; the consecrated one (Messiah – in Hebrew) that taught truth over man-made doctrine. Stand firm on finding and sharing truth.
