Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the IEUESHUO, and shalt believe in thine heart that ALEIM hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

(Ira ₁24:2 KJV) One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
(Ira 24:3 KJV) Then said the IEUE unto me, What seest thou, IRaMIEU (Jeremiah)? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
(Ira 24:5 KJV) Thus saith the IEUE, the ALEIM of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of IEUEDES (Judah), whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

AV Bar 2:21 . And the IEUE ALEIM caused a deep sleep to fall upon human, and he slept: and he took one of his angular organs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

AV Jn 1:18 No man hath seen ALEIM at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

AV Bar 3:1 . Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the IEUE ALEIM had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath ALEIM said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
AV Bar 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
AV Bar 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, ALEIM hath said, Ye shall not eat of him, neither shall ye touch him, lest ye die.
AV Bar 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
AV Bar 3:5 For ALEIM doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
AV Bar 3:6 . And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] yearning to the eyes and coveted, and a tree to be desired to make [one] intelligent, she took of the fruit of him, and did eat, and gave also unto her man with her; and he did eat.

Bar 3:15 And I will put enmity [hatred] between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

IEUE was a vegan in the beginning; humans are not kosher; obey the clean food laws.

Luk 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
AV Lk 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
AV Lk 4:18 The Spirit of the Master[is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
AV Lk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Master (kuriou).
AV Lk 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

AV Ac 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth ALEIM, and of good report among all the nation of the IEUHDIM, was warned from ALEIM by an Qodesh messenger to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Cornelius was convicted by the Spirit to submit to IEUE's clean food laws like Kephas did.
Paul was a Nazerene Jew, and submitted to Nazerene diet, also.

IEUE never has to clean this aquaraium; the ocean is cleaned by the rivers flowing into it; the shellfish on the ocean floor are there to keep it clean.The Red Tides sweep Hepatitis through the shellfish in the sea. If you get hurt doing something, then don't do that. Pork is a health risk; Parasites in pork can cause blindness and when they go to the brain then death. Pork is high in cholesterol and induces heart attacks. Pork can cause induce psychosis, epilepsy; neurocsyterosis and eventually death. Did not our Saviour live his life offering life and life more abundantly. Yes!
"Physician, heal Thyself!"

"Where Are You?
Thought for the Week:

Adam and Eve had choices: The tree of life or the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Choosing is an essential part of being human. We can choose good, which is the way of life, or disobedience, which results in death. We choose between the two trees countless times every day.

Commentary:

They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. (Genesis 3:8–9)

Once there was a Chassidic teacher, a great rabbi, who was observing the children playing hide-and-seek. One child covered his eyes and counted while the other children scattered and hid. Then he went and began to find the children, one after another. As he found them the others join the search.

After watching the children play for a while, the rabbi returned to his books. Time passed, and the voices of the children faded away. He was eventually disturbed from his studies by the sound of a lone child’s voice crying in the schoolyard. He went out to see what had happened, thinking perhaps the child might be hurt. He asked the child, “Son, what is it? Why all this weeping?” The boy explained, “We were all playing hide-and-seek. I was hiding, and they didn’t find me. They quit looking for me, and they all went home.” He began to sob. The rabbi realized that this child’s sorrow was like God’s sorrow. God has, in a sense, concealed Himself and bid us to look for Him, but no one is looking for Him.

In the garden of Eden humans experienced God directly. In the paradise of Eden, human beings lived in simplicity and innocence, without sin, guilt, shame or knowledge thereof. God was present; He was immediate; He was revealed. He spoke with them. Walked with them. They knew His presence; they recognized His voice. He was not hidden. There was no seeking after God. God was everywhere; His voice carried through the orchard.

What has happened since then? Why has God removed himself? Why has He hidden Himself away?

Let’s look at the story. Who hid from whom? The Torah says, “The man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8). In the story, it is God who calls out to man. God did not hide Himself. God searched for man. He called out to the human beings, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). Abraham Joshua Heschel took the title of his famous philosophy of Judaism from this narrative: God in Search of Man. We are the ones who have hidden ourselves from the presence of God. In our fallen and rebellious state, in our place of sentience, self-awareness and self-determination, we are unable to bear the presence of God.

Where is God? This is the wrong question. The real question is, where are we?
Middot U’Mitzvot (Character and Deeds)
Sex and Monogamy

The Torah says that “the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25). This is the Torah’s view of sexuality. God does not see sex as something sinful, shameful or perverse. He made it. He designed it to be a beautiful and fulfilling part of paradise. Consider the simple innocence of our first mother and father in the midst of Eden, the garden of delight.

Today it is common for people to go through several sexual partners before committing to marriage. It is also common for marriages to end in divorce. Things are completely out of kilter. God wants us to experience and enjoy sexuality within a committed, monogamous marriage, just like our first father and mother. When that happens, we experience a small portion of the joy of Eden. When we take sex out of that context, we twist it into something ugly and destructive.

The Torah says that husband and wife, when joined together in marriage, are “one flesh.” In the Bible, the term "flesh" means “human body.” This is the amazing mystery of marriage. When a man and a woman are married, they are spiritually and physically united. They in essence become one new human body. Henceforth, neither one is complete without the other. That’s why marriage can be so wonderful. That’s why divorce is traumatic and tragic. This also explains why infidelity and sexual relationships outside of marriage are so damaging. The apostle says, “Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4).We are not designed for multiple partners. We are physically and spiritually designed for a committed, monogamous relationship." ~TorahPortions.org 10/12/2012
