Nothing in the Christian’s life is happenstance.

Being a writer and constantly researching, I have found myself having a desire to understand Kabbalah and the Jews who follow this mysticism.

There is a website called “Chabad.org,” and this is the one-stop shop for all things Kabbalah. I visit this site regularly, but I have never subscribed to it or left my name or email anywhere on it.

However, recently I have been receiving emails from Chabad.org. A few days ago, I received an email from them telling me that I could ask the rabbi a question. They said that they have many rabbis, and if I asked a question, one would get back to me within 48 hours.

Here is what I asked:

Question:

Do the Rabbis in Israel believe that Rebbe Schneerson will come alive again and that he is our Moshiach? And will the Noahide Laws be implemented in the future?

The Rabbi’s answer:

“Shalom and thank you for your email to Chabad.org.

I’m sure there are those in Israel who believe this, but this is not necessarily Chabad’s stance here or in Israel.

When Moshiach comes, the knowledge of G-d will be so pervasive, that all will want to do only what G-d wants. For a Jew, this means observing the 613 Mitzvot; for a non-Jew, this means the observance of the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah.

Please don’t hesitate to write back if I can be of any further help.

Best wishes,

Simcha Bart”
Chabad.org

I found it very interesting that this rabbi said:

“When Moshiach comes, the knowledge of God will be so pervasive, that all would want to do only what God wants.”

My Mind Went Immediately to Antichrist

The rabbi also said this:

“For a Jew, this means observing the 613 Mitzvot; for a non-Jew, this means the observance of the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah.”

So, when Antichrist makes his appearance, the 613 Mitzvot (the WHOLE Law) will be once again observed by Jews. For the non-Jew (Gentiles), this means the observance of the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah (Noahide laws.)

I would like to add this:

The Jew goes back to strict observance of the Law; the Gentiles will be forced by Antichrist to observe the Noahide laws. Will the reader please allow me to say that this, by deduction, is an unspoken expectation by the rabbis that Christians believing that Jesus is the Messiah (Tribulation Saints) will be considered “Idol worshipers” because they believe in the Trinitarian Godhead?

We know that there is but One God. However, our God has three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; yet He is ONE GOD.

But the rabbis see us as worshiping a different God. I believe that this is what will prompt Antichrist to hunt down “Trinitarian Christians” during the Great Tribulation and will slaughter them.

The Noahide Laws. This is straight from the Chabad.org website:

The 7 Noahide Laws: Universal Morality

What Are the Seven Noahide Laws?

The 7 Noahide Laws are rules that all of us must keep, regardless of who we are or from where we come. Without these seven things, it would be impossible for humanity to live together in harmony.

1. Do not profane G‑d’s Oneness in any way. 
   Acknowledge that there is a single G‑d who cares about what we are doing and desires that we take care of His world.
2. Do not curse your Creator.
   No matter how angry you may be, do not take it out verbally against your Creator.
3. Do not murder.
   The value of human life cannot be measured. To destroy a single human life is to destroy the entire world—because, for that person, the world has ceased to exist. It follows that by sustaining a single human life, you are sustaining an entire universe.
4. Do not eat a limb of a living animal.
   Respect the life of all G‑d’s creatures. As intelligent beings, we have a duty not to cause undue pain to other creatures.
5. Do not steal.
   Whatever benefits you receive in this world, make sure that none of them are at the unfair expense of someone else.
6. Harness and channel the human libido.
   Incest, adultery, rape and homosexual relations are forbidden.
   The family unit is the foundation of human society. Sexuality is the fountain of life and so nothing is more holy than the sexual act. So, too, when abused, nothing can be more debasing and destructive to the human being.
7. Establish courts of law and ensure justice in our world.
   With every small act of justice, we are restoring harmony to our world, synchronizing it with a supernal order. That is why we must keep the laws established by our government for the country’s stability and harmony.

These laws were communicated by G‑d to Adam and Noah, ancestors of all human beings. That is what makes these rules universal, for all times, places and people.

Laws made by humans may change according to circumstance. But laws made by the Creator of all souls over all of time remain the same for all people at all times.

If we would fulfill these laws just because they make sense to us, then we would change them, according to our convenience. We would be our own god. But when we understand that they are the laws of a supreme G‑d, we understand that they cannot be changed, just as He does not change.

Why Are the Noahide Laws Especially Important Today?

Today, we are on the verge of a new era for humankind, a time when we will finally live together in peace, and the world will be filled with divine wisdom. Those who keep these basic rules will have a share in that world, since, after all, they took part in making it possible.

Although these teachings were recorded in the sacred Jewish texts, for many centuries Jews were not able to speak about them to the people they lived amongst. But in recent times, the foremost rabbi of the Jewish people in the 20th century, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, encouraged Jews to publicize these teachings, so that the world can prepare for the times of peace and wisdom that are swiftly approaching.

Why Are They Called the Noahide Laws?

These are called the Noahide Laws because they are the heritage of humanity from our oldest ancestors. Since all humanity are descendants of Noah, who survived the Great Flood, all people today are Noahides.

Jewish tradition tells that six of these laws were given to the first human being, Adam. A seventh law, the prohibition against eating the limb of a living animal, was given to Noah when humankind was permitted to consume meat.

More Noahide Laws

These seven principles are general ones. Many other teachings, all intuitive to the upright human mind, branch out from these.

These include the practice of charity and acts of kindness, honoring and respecting parents, prayer to G‑d and contemplation of His wisdom and greatness.

This also means not acting recklessly towards the magnificent creation that has been entrusted to our stewardship.

Who Keeps the Noahide Laws?

Nobody needs to convert or join a particular church or temple to keep these principles and laws. But it is important to keep them because this is what the supreme G‑d wants of every one of us, and not only because they are wise and good laws.

Anyone who keeps these basic rules for that reason—regardless of race, nationality or culture—is considered a righteous person and granted eternal life upon leaving this world. source

Brethren, did you see the first of the seven Noahide Laws?  Let me post it again; and please let this sink in:

1. Do not profane G‑d’s Oneness in any way. 
   Acknowledge that there is a single G‑d who cares about what we are doing and desires that we take care of His world.

When I was doing my research for an article on the Noahide Laws – THIS is what I kept finding as the first law:

1. Do not deny God – no idolatry

Now, go back to what is stated on chabad.org as the first Noahide Law. Do you see how the Kabbalist rabbis elaborated on this law by adding to it?:

1.  Do not profane God’s Oneness in any way

During the Great Tribulation, people who become Christians will be targeted and beheaded by Antichrist. He will uphold the Noahide laws, and he will point to the first law which clearly states that anyone who believes in a Trinitarian God is NOT righteous and must be killed.

I am so grateful that we will not be here for this horrific time in history.  We MUST share the Gospel with all who do not believe – and that includes Jewish people!

Here is what I wrote back to the rabbi:

Dear Simcha Bart,

I am an ethnic Jew, brought up in Bethesda, MD. My grandparents on both sides emigrated from Ukraine to the U.S. around 1903. Their names were Rosenberg and Greenberg.

I want to tell you that in 1983 I met the true Messiah (Moshiach) Yeshua. I did not forfeit my being a Jew. I felt completed as a Jew – after all Yeshua was certainly a Jew, reading from Torah in the synagogues of His time.

The man who is coming very soon and whom the world (including Jews) will believe is Moshiach will actually be Antichrist. He will be indwelled by Satan. Israel will receive him as their Messiah; but after 3 1/2 years, he will sit in the Temple (which he will help Israel to build), and he will proclaim that he is God. The eyes of Israel will then be opened, and they will see that this man is evil. This man of sin will slaughter 2/3 of Israel, and 1/3 will flee to the mountains.

I don’t expect you to believe what I am writing to you – but – you will remember my words to you when this begins to unfold. I believe that we are very close to the coming of this evil one. It will start with a “man” who will confirm a treaty with Israel for seven years. In the middle of those seven years is when this Wicked one will sit in the Temple as if he is God.

Instead of deleting this as trash – I would suggest that you print this out and keep it. Then you will be able to tell others what is happening.

I am a writer, and this is one of my articles on the fake Moshiach:

“Israel -You Missed Your Messiah But It Was God’s Plan For the World”

Shalom,
Geri

This is how the rabbi responded to me:

Shalom and thank you for your email to Chabad.org.

When you will be interested in Judaism, you can go to jewsforjudaism.org and outreachjudaism.org

Please don’t hesitate to write back if I can be of any further help.

Best wishes,

Simcha Bart
Chabad.org

**Both of the sites above are led by Rabbi Tovi Singer. His ministry is to reach out to Jews like me who believe in Yeshua, and attempt to bring us back. They no longer consider me a Jew.

Please pray for this man. Pray that the words I wrote to him will stay in his mind. Pray that he keeps my response.

Pray that Yeshua will save this man and that he will tell many what God has done for him.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom b’Yeshua

SIN

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26, KJV).

From gotquestions.org

Why did Jesus tell people to “go and sin no more” if sinlessness is impossible?

Answer: There are two instances in the New Testament when Jesus told someone to “sin no more,” and they were each under very different circumstances. The first is when Jesus healed an invalid by the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–15). Afterward, Jesus found the man and told him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you” (verse 14). It is clear that Jesus knew what had caused the man’s condition. We are not told the specifics of the man’s physical impairment, but the context implies that it was caused by sinful choices. Jesus warned the man that he had been given a second chance and that he should make better choices. If the man returned to his sinful behavior, he would have wasted the opportunity Jesus gave him to live whole and forgiven.

The second instance is in the account of the woman taken in the act of adultery (John 8:3–11). When the woman’s accusers brought her before Jesus, expecting Him to pronounce judgment, He told them that the one who was without sin should throw the first stone. One by one, the condemning crowd left. Then Jesus told the woman, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more” (verse 11). She had been caught. She was guilty. She did deserve stoning according to the Law of Moses (Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22). But the religious leaders who had dragged her there had no concern for holiness. They were trying to trap Jesus into saying that the Law did not matter (verse 6).

Jesus often reminded those religious leaders that He had not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). He, as God, was the Author of the Law (2 Timothy 3:16). The Pharisees focused on the letter of the Law but missed the true spirit of it, which is given in Galatians 5:14: “The whole law can be summed up in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” When Jesus refused to condemn the woman, He was not minimizing the importance of holiness. He was offering her the same kind of forgiveness He offers every one of us (Acts 3:19).

In saying, “Go and sin no more,” Jesus was not speaking of sinless perfection. He was warning against a return to sinful lifestyle choices. His words both extended mercy and demanded holiness. Jesus was always the perfect balance of “grace and truth” (John 1:14). With forgiveness comes the expectation that we will not continue in the same path of rebelliousness. Those who know God’s love will naturally want to obey Him (John 14:15).

When we turn to Christ and receive His forgiveness, we experience a heart change (Luke 9:23; Acts 1:8). Forgiveness is not cheap, and it does not excuse the sin that separated us from God. It cost God everything to offer us the cleansing that pronounces us righteous before Him (John 3:16; 15:13). Rather than continue in the self-centered path that led us astray from Him to begin with, the forgiven can walk in God’s path (Luke 14:27). A move toward God is a move toward righteousness, purity, and holy living (1 Peter 1:16; Romans 8:29). We cannot experience the transforming power of forgiveness without being forever changed.

It goes without saying that the woman caught in adultery did not return to her infidelity. She had met Jesus. She would not be perfect. No one is. But she was forever changed. Her eyes had been opened to the depravity of what she was doing. Sin no longer held the appeal it once did. When we meet Jesus, sin no longer holds its fatal attraction. Grace changes things. “Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” (Romans 6:1–2).When we are born again (John 3:3), the power of the Holy Spirit breaks the power that sin once had over us (Romans 6:6). Once we lived only to please ourselves, but when we have been forgiven, our motivation changes. We now live to please God (Galatians 2:20). (emphasis added)

It should be the goal of every Christian to “sin no more,” although we recognize that, while we are in the flesh, we will still stumble (1 John 1:8). God’s desire for each of us is to be holy as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16). We still sin, but sin is no longer a lifestyle choice (1 John 3:9–10). When we fail, we can come to God and ask forgiveness (1 John 1:9; 1 Peter 4:1–2). And if we are truly God’s children, He will correct us, disciplining us when we need it (Hebrews 12:6–11). His work is to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). source

When you read this story from charismanews.com, I believe that this is a modern-day picture of Jesus transforming and forgiving those who were caught up in the sin of homosexuality. I am certain that our Lord has said to these precious ones, “Go and sin no more,” just as He said to the woman caught in the act of adultery.

And THAT is the desire of their hearts – to follow Him and cease the sin of homosexuality. They truly chose Christ and Holiness over their sin.

Praise God!

Former Homosexuals Choose Christ and Holiness Over Sin

Millennials and Gen-Xers stood together, unified with a voice that declared freedom is possible through Christ. The message is what so many need to hear but has been so quickly shunned. It lacks popularity but is packed with power.

Jeffrey McCall, the founder of the Freedom March, invited me to be a part of this historical event. Watching so many younger than I stand unashamed and passionate about their experience of walking out of the lifestyle of homosexuality into a life of freedom in Christ was a magnificent experience. This has been an answer to prayer.

They stood together, each one with their own story of how Christ came into their heart and gave them a brand-new life. These young people were vibrant and energetic. Their enthusiasm was clearly visible as they shared their testimonies of coming out of darkness into the marvelous light of Christ. 1 Peter 2:9 says in the Message Bible, “But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.”

While they had no qualms reminding me that I was part of the “older generation” and spoke of my “mothering heart,” I couldn’t help but be amazed as I watched them speak boldly and with much assurance that it was only Jesus that kept them and brought them to this point. They did not hesitate to let everyone know that change is possible, hope is tangible and love is available.

This march represented so much more than just a group of people gathering to share their thoughts. This was a march in the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. This was a true declaration that Jesus is not dormant or dead. He is very much alive and able to change lives.

While the LGBTQ community has no hesitation in parading its doctrines and agendas before anyone, this Freedom March gave the ex-homosexual a clear voice. They were able to declare openly, right in our nation’s capital, that the lifestyle they once embraced was not God’s will for their life or anyone else’s life. They were able to freely stand up and say that they chose Christ and holiness over all of their sins.

There were no hidden agendas. Everyone was accepted. There were so many people from all cultures and nationalities. Everyone was important, no matter what titles they held or didn’t have. The love and respect for each other was so apparent. For a moment, I forgot I was 61 years old and just blended in with these young motivating marchers.

It was a true honor to be a part of this wonderful event. For this moment, every Christian had a voice. Each person in this march was speaking for so many others. The message was in the songs they sang and the messages they declared.

They spoke for the countless people who were not able to march and could not attend. They spoke for the person struggling with their sexuality. They spoke for the person who is gender disoriented and insecure. They spoke for the cross-dresser and the transgender. They spoke for everyone and anyone who is unsure of themselves and unable to find love and hope. They marched to show that there is hope and there is unconditional love available through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Freedom March declared to everyone that our God is not dead. He is very much alive in all of us and anyone who will allow Him to come in. No one is refused. No sin is too ugly or vile. Jesus stands with outstretched arms for everyone (Ps. 136:12). That is true freedom, and it is only found in our loving Savior, Jesus Christ.

Three podcasts from overcomers who left the homosexual lifestyle for Jesus and His Holiness:

Overcomer Series: Leaving LGBT with Luis Javier Ruiz

Overcomer Series: Leaving LGBT with Kimberly Zember

Overcomer Series: Leaving LGBT with Ronald McCray

 Brethren, what more is there to say?  Just this:

All things are possible with Jesus Christ our Lord!

If you have a friend or family member who is struggling with homosexuality, please send this to them or print it out and give it to them.
