GROWING IN GOD'S WORD...
Man's natural reaction to God's word is rejection. So long as one is controlled
by this natural reaction, God's purpose and will for our lives is severely limited.
He does not force His will upon us.
God's word, whether delivered by the prophets or by the Word in person, Jesus (Yeshua),
was rarely understood or popular at the time it was delivered. The same is true
today. People tend to gravitate to teaching which is easy on the ear and doesn't
require one to look in the mirror.
So where can one go to find teaching that can be trusted? No matter where one
goes, his or her "truth antennae" need to be fully extended. In this age of so
much knowledge, confusion is a real problem. Why? Perhaps it is an incomplete
understanding of God's word because of our natural rejection of it. How does
one overcome? Ask for what is true and then seek it with all our hearts. God
will not fail to respond.
Our search has led us to seek out the Hebrew Roots of Christianity. Are we
missing out on understanding what God wants for us and what He wants us to
know because of not understanding the language and culture in the day that
Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem?
For instance, the word "Torah" is translated as "Law" in our Bibles. "Torah"
actually has several meanings. "Torah" in Hebrew means 'teaching', i.e.,
instruction; the Hebrew word also refers to the five books of Moses -- Genesis,
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
Many Christian teachers today teach that Christ was the end of the Law (Torah).
Is that true? If so, do we rip out the first five books of the Bible and perhaps
Psalm 119?
Abraham kept the commandments (Genesis 26:5); Jesus kept the commandments
(John 15:10); and, Paul kept the commandments. (Acts 24:14) Jesus said he
didn't come to abolish the Law and not a letter would pass from the Law until all
is fulfilled. (Matthew 5:17)
Is there a contradiction in God's word? Or, perhaps just a misunderstanding.

Keith Johnson has also written a book called, His Hallowed Name Revealed Again.
"Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day I am the One who is speaking, ‘Here I am’." -- Isaiah 52:6
