Love your enemies
guardian Snow
Isa 14:26 “This is the counsel that is counselled for all the earth,
and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
Isa 14:27 “For Yahweh of hosts has counselled, and who annuls it? And
His hand that is stretched out, who turns it back?”
Have you ever taken the time to ask, “Why would Yahweh purpose upon
all the earth, false council that sets the nations in opposition?
Mat 5:44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing
you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and
persecuting you,
I believe that Yahweh understands exactly what it is that makes men
tick being our creator. He understands that people post for the sake
of Strife and not really love of YHWH.
Mat 12:7 “And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire compassion
and not offering,’ you would not have condemned the blameless.
Hos 6:6 “For I delight in kindness and not slaughtering, and in the
knowledge of Elohim more than burnt offerings.
The wheels of opposition are placed into the very workings of the
scriptures because it has motivated us to search out every word
written because we desire to prove ourselves and our understanding. I
have come to understand that “Day Star” fallen from heaven is Apostle
Paul and that he is in fact a “chosen vessel” just as Christians
believe but not for the reason that they should understand outright.
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and
creating evil. I, Yahweh, do all these.’
Joh 3:19 “And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the
world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their
works were wicked. 20 “For everyone who is practicing evil matters
hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should
be exposed. 21 “But the one doing the truth comes to the light, so
that his works are clearly seen, that they have been wrought in
Elohim.”
The uniformity and purpose of all scriptures is a motivation for us to
learn. Apostle Paul came to destroy and to place men in strife, to
make prisoners and those who love him love the darkness of a self
righteous doctrine. Always, Yahweh has tested his people and refined
us in the fire of the furnace.
Deu 13:3 do not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of
dreams, for Yahweh your Elohim is trying you to know whether you love
Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.
Deu 4:20 “But Yahweh has taken you and brought you out of the iron
furnace, out of Mitsrayim, to be His people, an inheritance, as it is
today.
Luke was trying to tell his readers something that nobody catches on
to.
Act 23:6 Now Sha’ul, perceiving that one part were Sadducees and the
other Pharisees, cried out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee, I am being judged concerning the
expectation and resurrection of the dead!”
He was on trial for speaking against the Torah but more interesting is
the fact that he was and is wrong about the resurrection and this is
something that nobody reconciles.
Rom 14:9 For unto this Messiah died and rose and lived again, to rule
over both the dead and the living.
Wrong:
Mar 12:27 “He is not the Elohim of the dead, but Elohim of the living.
You, then, go greatly astray.”
If we consider the motivation of this passage, “perceiving that one
part were Sadducees”, Paul was speaking on the topic that created the
most strife between the two factions and the fruit of his
pronouncement:
Act 23:7 And when he had said this, there came a dissension between
the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And the crowd was divided.
Looking at the modern Church, we see that even unto this very date,
they are divided into dozens of major denominations. Paul’s doctrine
is and has been since the beginning to divide the church of our
Messiah. It’s worked very effectively for over 1700 years now since
his doctrine was included in the Roman canon.
Mar 3:25 “And if a house is divided against itself, that house is
unable to stand.
Paul knew all too well that the best way to destroy the church that he
hated so much wasn’t to make more martyr’s, which he tried to start
with when he murdered Stephen by his false witness. He figured out
that if he faked a conversion and joined the ranks, he would be the
Trojan horse.
To this date, men argue over the words of Paul, the majority say that
he was inspired to do away with the Torah. Some of my more faithful
brothers say that he was for the Torah. My brother in Messiah tells
me, “There is no need to tackle the many problems with the letters of
Paul; just ACNOWLEDGE that they too have been corrupted, twisted and
mystified by the Jewish Scribes and the Christian Translators”
They are looking for a translation of scriptures that doesn’t exist.
The reality of today is that Paul speaks out of both sides of his
mouth so that the end result is strife. He saw our division and by
cleaver wording, speaks against and for the Torah in the same
chapters. Those who look for the doctrine to support the doctrine
find it:
Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not
be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.
Those who look for evidence the law is abolished find it:
1Co 6:12 All is permitted me, but not all do profit. All is permitted
me, but I shall not be under authority of any.
Certainly if all things are permitted to us, then the law is abolished
and so, we end up in never ending arguments over whether or not Paul
is for or against the Torah. My brother went on to say, “Repair and
Restore! Weigh all testimony in the Torah. If the testimony speaks
not according to the Torah, throw it out!” Yet, in that very post
they called the works of Paul, “the Torah”.
But the key to understanding all of this division is the fact that
Yahweh himself has purposed Paul upon the churches of the world to
test each and every one of us. My Christian brothers do not desire to
see this strife and instead have chosen to become a part of it. I
should be clear, I am not against Apostle Paul, I understand what he
teaches us.
Isa 45:9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker! (a potsherd with the
potsherds of the earth). Does clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are
you making?’ Or your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
Isa 45:10 “Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you bringing
forth?’ Or to the woman, ‘What are you labouring over?’ ”
Why we are to “love our enemy” is that in the end, our enemy is our
greatest motivator. Yet, in the end we find that we have no need to
“wrestle evil spirits” because the deepest truth to learn is that
there is only EL,
Isa 45:15 Truly You are Ěl, who hide Yourself, O Elohim of Yisra’ĕl,
Saviour!

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and
responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
Tony Robbins
Some people hate and expect affection
Some people lie and demand the truth
I gotta ask myself if it's soul deception
Is this the natural thing that we all just do
We take such pleasure from pain,
I'm just tired of playing that game
Some things you've got to change
Chorus:
You've got to stand and deliver, with your body and soul
Stand and deliver, just give me something to hold
Stand and deliver, if the truth can be told
We can make it together, if we stand - stand and deliver
