(191) Zec 8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour ; and love (ahab) no false oath : for all these are things that I hate , saith the LORD .
.. and maleness-love no false oath..
(192) Zec 8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts ; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth , and the fast of the seventh , and the fast of the tenth , shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness , and cheerful feasts ; therefore love (ahab) the truth and peace .
.. therefore maleness-love the truth ..
(193) Zec 13:6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands ? Then he shall answer , Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends (ahab) .
.. Those with which I was wounded in the house of my maleness-lovers..
What an amazing Bible verse ! Jesus is wounded with ongoing scars in his friends for all time, for those who have maleness-love for Him deeply...who maleness-love Jesus as Saviour, friend, Protector and Provider of all their soul needs.
(194) Mal 1:2 I have loved (ahab) you, saith the LORD . Yet ye say , Wherein hast thou loved (ahab) us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother ? saith the LORD : yet I loved (ahab) Jacob ,
..I have maleness-loved you, saith the Lord..
(195) Mal 2:11 Judah hath dealt treacherously , and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem ; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved (ahab) , and hath married the daughter of a strange god .
.. which he maleness-loved ..
(196) Mt 5:43 � Ye have heard that it hath been said , Thou shalt love (ahab) thy neighbour , and hate thine enemy .
.. Thou shalt maleness-love thy neighbour..
It is interesting here that no torah teaching says to hate your enemies...The Hebrew word "rea" which means neighbour, was understood wrongly by the Jews to be only fellow Jews, and not other Gentile people. Thus they became biased, hence the reason Jesus stated their humanism interpretation, "hate thine enemy" and than opposed their humanism traditions with a proper interpretation of the Torah teachings, "love your enemies", meaning all species of people, Jews and Gentiles alike.
Strong 7453 "rea". "Friend".
The Ancient Hebrew pictograph reads "The head sees"...is a good description of a neighbour..
Jesus is correcting a humanism tradition Jews who wrongly misapplied Scripture Torah. Nowhere does Scripture say to hate your enemy, but dozens of verses say to love your enemy.
Strong 341 "oyeb". "Enemy".
The Ancient Hebrew pictograph reads "The strong secure active home". Jeff Benner explains this Ancient Hebrew pictograph as around the tent home are tent poles sharpened at one end and secured by ropes and the tent peg, and thus can be removed and used quickly in the uprising coming of an enemy. However sometimes looking back into Ancient Hebrew culture, we can often fail in trying to understand the reason why certain words are spelled with the letter meaning chosen. And so we have to make an educated speculation, when the meaning of the word is less obvious to the reader, unfamiliar with Hebrew culture so long ago.
Ex 23:4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. Ps 7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it;
.. Jesus was showing the correct way to interpret the torah and make it honourable.
(197) Mt 5:44 But I say unto you , Love (ahab) your enemies , bless them that curse you , do good to them that hate you , and pray for them which despitefully use you , and persecute you ;
.. But I say unto you , maleness-love your enemies..
Notice Jesus is fulfilling torah...a idiom used in Jewish times to mean showing the correct way to interpret the law...
Mt 5:17 � Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
If a Jew makes a misinterpretation
of the torah law, a Jew would say you are destroying the torah ! But if a Jew shows how the torah is correctly interpreted, a Jew would exclaim you are fulfilling the torah !
It's a shame modern religions take Hebrew culture and spin it into saying what it does not mean. No where does this verse imply Jesus abolished His own torah, or dissolved his torah on the Cross. Yet modern church religions claim bits and pieces of Jesus torah teachings vanished on the Cross because He died. Some Church religions even claim all of the torah teachings of Jesus vanished on the Cross, and as Christians we are saved only by the New Testament teachings, which by the way are called testimonies. Why would Jesus introduce a torah salvation method to Adam when he sinned, only to have it 4000 years later be completely changed with a brand new torah system of salvation , when He dies on the Cross? This introduces the concept of different changing methods of salvation doesn't it ? The Bible is full of stories acted out for practical purposes, so the people gain understanding into the "spiritual literals" of salvation. Sure some aspects of the acting out change as salvation systems are completed by Jesus, but we are not talking about changing whole complete systems of salvation. The only way a person can be saved is under the torah system of salvation. Such a system was introduced by Jesus when Adam sinned, and is founded on grace.
Ge 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
God respected Abel's offering because it followed torah teachings of salvation. Ye are saved by grace through the sin-offering that dies for your sinning, on behalf of your Saviour. Abel knew that one day His Saviour would come as his sin-offering for his sinning. A torah salvation system based on grace in the faith of a coming Saviour.
Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
Even Job knew about His Saviour who would come to buy back His soul from death. And from accounts of old Hebrew wordings, Job existed as a story before the great flood upon the earth, the oldest book in the Bible. (Moses the writer is recounting a very old story.)
For a short time the Jewish people thought they could obey the torah of salvation based on human works
of self-powered effort. This became a fatal flaw of reasoning, (inspired by Satan opposing Jesus) and is called legalism today.
Ex 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do.
But people cannot do torah of salvation alone based on human efforts of legalism.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Works of what ? Torah teachings.
So what is the purpose of torah teachings, if we arn't saved by them?
Ga 3:24 Wherefore the torah teachings (law) was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
The torah teachings teach us about Jesus. They describe the stories of Jesus in the Old Testament and the stories in the New Testament. Without these stories we would not know Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. We would not know how to talk to Jesus, for there would be no words to read, nor could Jesus talk back to us, for His torah would not ever be read by those saved. So I ask you, reader; if you believe it is through Jesus' grace by your faith that Jesus saves you, how do you know how to grow in Jesus, if there are no instructions or meaurements of testing your obedience to Jesus? And if all the instructions are only New Testament based, why most New Testament scriptures would have to be removed, as they quote the original Scriptures. Just what Scriptures would be left ?
Let me give you one example, that proves the Old Testament torah of salvation has to be preserved.
Where does the New Testament say a person is saved by their faith ? It doesn't...it's a saying based in the Old Testament...
Hab 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
So Jesus came to uphold His torah system teachings of salvation. He did not change His torah system teachings. The teachings concerning animal sacrifices are no longer required because Jesus was a human sacrifice for sin-offering, better than animal blood for a sin-offering. What we should do is look into the torah teachings and uphold them, so that Jesus can communicate more fully with us. Shalom
(198) Mt 5:46 For if ye love (ahab) them which love (ahab) you , what reward have ye ? do not even the publicans the same ?
.. For if ye maleness-love them ..
Our maleness-love for our neighbour has to encompass all people and all cultures unconditionally...
(199) Mt 6:24 No man can serve two masters : for either he will hate the one , and love (ahab) the other ; or else he will hold to the one , and despise the other . Ye cannot serve God and mammon .
..man can serve two masters : for either he will hate the one , and maleness-love the other ;
Mammon is a Baal system of worship found in Jewish times in Jesus day, hence His reason to mention this. Even today the love of money overpowers many, while there is nothing wrong with being rich, ye can bless others with your blessings. See studies of Mammon.
(200) Mt 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother : and , Thou shalt love (ahab) thy neighbour as thyself .
.. Thou shalt maleness-love thy neighbour..
