Never Judge, For You Too Are A Law-breaker
1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So you have no excuse for judging other [people], 😇. For in whatever [sense] you criticize someone else, you condemn yourself, since you (who judge) commit comparable [sins].
When you put other people on trial, you point your accusatory finger back at yourself.
2 Now we know, 😇, that YHVH's judgment against evil-doing [hypocrites] is based on truth.
3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ So when you, 😇, a mere human, pass judgment on other [people], while you commit equivalent [crimes], do you fantasize you'll escape YHVH's judgment?
Grace = Power To Repent, Not License To Sin
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Do you, 😇, despise the riches of YHVH's goodness, forbearance and patience? [Do you] fail to grasp that YHVH [intends] His goodness to lead you to repent, [not to excuse your sin]?
For instance, do you preach that ‘grace’ gives you license to break the principles of the Mosaic law?
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ But because of your hard-headedness and [your] unrepentant heart, 😇, you treasure up for yourself wrath, [which YHVH] the Eloah comes to [dish out on] the day he reveals his angry, righteous verdict[s].
YAH Judges Every Human By His/Her ACTIONS
6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ [YHVH] pays back each [human] according to what he does [on earth, 😇].
Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12. Grace is the power to do right, not license to do wrong.
7 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ To beings who by patient endurance in doing good [deeds] seek glory, honor and immortality, [Elohim gives] eternal life, 😇.
Not to those who merely say a sinner's prayer, then go on living normal lives.
8 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But to self-seeking [rogues] who disobey the truth and follow evil, [YHVH throws] indignation and wrath, 😇.
You Get No Extra Points For Your Religion
9 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tribulation and anguish [eventually crash on] every human being who does evil, 😇 — first on [unrepentant] Jew[s], [because they heard YAH's laws first]. Then [judgment crashes] on [unrepentant] beast-national[s].
10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yet [YAH eventually gives] glory, honor and peace to every man who [performs] good works, 😇 — first to the Jew[s,] then, similarly, to the beast-national[s].
11 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For [YHVH] the Eloah never shows favoritism, 😇.
12 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everyone who sins without [knowing] the Torah [Law] ends up perishing [in ignorance of] the Torah, 😇. And everyone who sins [though they know] the Torah gets judged by the Torah.
13 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [YHVH] the Eloah doesn't see [beings] as righteous just because they [merely] hear [His] Law, 😇. Rather, [YAH] repairs [beings] who obey [His] law.
14 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Some beast-nationals, [though ignorant of] the Torah [Law], do by nature the things commanded in it, 😇! They [follow their inner law without pressure from external rules].
15 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ [Obedient saints'] lives show that the conduct the Torah dictates lies written in their hearts, 😇. Their consciences [prove that they know YAH's Law]. For their conflicting thoughts oscillate between accusing and defending their [own deeds].
YAH Judges Your Heart, Not Your Religion
16 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ And so, 😇, according to the Good News which I herald, the day comes when YAH, through Yahshua, [His] Messiah, judges everyone's secret life.
Your true inner life and outer actions are what matters, not your religion, race or group.
17 So do you, 😇, call yourself [a member of YAH's] remnant [people]? [Do you] rest on [scriptural] law. [Do you] boast about Elohim?
lit: Jew
18 Do you, 😇, know Elohim's will? Do [you] approve of what is superior because you've [been] instructed by the [scriptures]?
19 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Are you, 😇, convinced that you're a guide for the blind, a light for others in the dark?
20 [Do you, 😇, think you're] an instructor of foolish [people], a teacher of infants, because in the scriptural [laws] you hold the embodiment of knowledge and truth?
21 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ You then, who teach others, [why] don't you teach yourself? You, 😇, who preach against stealing, do you steal?
When we ‘pay’ people ultimately worthless debt-instruments (U.S. paper Dollars, for instance) for their valuable goods, we steal.
22 You, 😇, who say ‘[people] should not commit adultery,’ do you break marriage-bonds? You who abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
Yes: a couple of common examples: When we dream/think of adulterous acts, we internally commit adultery. When we use the world's false money covered with pagan symbols and graven images of the world's Elohim, we commit idolatry. And on and on.
23 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ You, 😇, who brag about the scriptures, do you dishonor Elohim by breaking [His] law[s]?
Yes.
24 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As [Isaiah and Ezekiel] write, “The name of [YHVH] the Eloah gets blasphemed among the beast-nations because of you [Judeo-Christians, 😇]!”
Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22 Judeo-Christian hypocrisy is the biggest reason people refuse to convert.
Don't Chop Your Wang; Clean Your Heart!
25 [Getting] culled out [of the world-system and made a Hebrew] has value if you observe [YAH's] law, 😇. But if you break [YAH's] law, you become as though you'd never been [culled out of the pagan horde].
The word translated “circumcision” means to cut yourself off from evil people and evil thoughts. Circumcision of a penis is an un-biblical, savage mutilation practiced by insane Rabbis and greedy doctors.
26 When men who have [intact penises] keep the [Torah] law's requirements, [YAH] regards them as the rightly “circumcised” [people, 😇].
The Creator never intended circumcision to involve cutting penises. In your heart you already know this.
27 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [People] who instinctively obey [YAH's] laws, [including] refusing to cut penises, come to condemn [people] who [follow human] statutory-codes, including mutilating [genitals] in violation of [YAH's] law!
The word translated as circumcision (#4059 peritemno = to cut around) means to trim away the evil from your life, not to slice essential organs off of your genitals. The ACTUAL Hebrew law forbids making ANY permanent cuts or marks on your body! #203 akrobustia = physically uncircumcised.
28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A man is not a Jew if he is only outwardly [Jewish, 😇]. [YHVH] never [commanded] any cutting of physical skin.
There it is: the New Testament and the old Testament clearly teach that the Almighty forbids all cutting of healthy human skin! If you allow anyone to cut your baby's foreskin, you are committing satanic child abuse!
29 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ [On the] contrary, a man is a Jew if he is inwardly [Hebraic in his thought-process, 😇]. [True] ‘circumcision’ is [culling out the evil] of the heart, by [YAH's] Spirit, not [mindlessly obeying human] written code[s]. [A Spirit-purified] man receives praise not from man, but from [YHVH] the Eloah.
YHVH never told anyone to cut anybody's penis! Foreskin removal is a heinous sex crime.
