STATEMENT OF BELIEF'S
We are living in a realized eschatology
The Talmud refers to Ethics of the Fathers as a guide for the individual who wishes to become a Chasid. The Talmudic understanding of a Chasid is one who excels beyond the letter of the law in his self-refinement and character development. Ethics of the Fathers is a collection of valuable advice from the sages of antiquity concerning basic life-skills such as exercising leadership, dealing with others, and personal character refinement.
First we believe a man should study every aspect of G-d's character, for the simple reason in doing so they will enter into the greatest Mikveh [baptism] of their life.
"THE WRITTEN TORAH/WORD/ BIBLE"
Shekinah Life Center believes that there are seven mitzvots to humanity given by YHVH/YAHweh. If you are a gentile, that is the basics. No special prayers, no denominational hoops, no foolishness by the charlitins and Pulpit jesters blowing the blue smoke of hope all the while lining their pockets with your hard-earned substance. Personally I have stood and denounced those things and called for a reformation of Holiness and integrity. Sadly, It is a message, not well recieved.
G-d does not do that! G-d does not take a bribe to help you! [ Dueteronomy/ Deverim 10:v17] God responds to your heart-cry for great needs. Simply that is it. He loves the creation he built for HIS people Yisrael and who is Israel. All who walk a pious walk aknowledging G-d IN everything. In all they do. And you are part of His great beautyYou are the face of G-d if you study and mesh together as one with the Divine.
It is called Devekut,...A cleaving with the Master creator,...the husband of Israel and all that draw near to him...a true love not found outside intimacy.
If your Jewish or born from a Jewish mother then you have the basic Ten Mitzvots given to Moshie the greatest prophet that ever lives, and no later prophet can undue what was given to Moshie at the Sinai encounter where the Selection and betroval to Ha'Shems bride took place. Added to that is the individual set aside day of Shabbos.
IMHO In the first century, the Master came to lift the Vail and do the nuptuials...but we were still afraid as in the Sinai Desert [ Deverim 5:v5]
Yet just the same everything changed authority to seek the Divine as any previous Navi or Nasi or Meleck was now available to all people who would seek HaShem out, and historically and then there is where the very essence of the Shekinah, the Ruach Ha'Kodosh that follows us into our time of Davening decended upon all like a Veil of healing love IMHO.
Yet nobody got it, that really it was a simple Baal Teshuvah movement for the Gentiles. Or better yet that what the Chasidim already knew we need to be on the same page, we need to become as one.
But as always the great Master creator took it to a higher level and now dwells among the people in His awsome ways You could say He Tabernacles with us with the Shekinah cloud of love.
YHVH even sent prophets from the house of Hillel to begin the process of allowing gentiles [the strangers- to the Mitzvot]] into the plan of G-d, but they were killed by the Zealots [or Scacari]who were in alignment with the controllers of the Tomplegrounds known as 'Bet Shammai.
In the early first century, amny Sages like Yeshua, the Essene priesthood and Bet Hillel all favored that the Gentiles could have a place in the world to come,... If' they just obeyed the basics:
The Seven Noahide Mitzvot.
In the ever dividing Messianic faith and the well over twenty three thousand brands of Xianism around the world all birthed from the misconstruction of what these early men were really trying to teach and who they really were.
Simply, Torah observant Jews who went around doing good. Historical writings bear this out like where it proves for the first 200 years the writings of Akiba were searched out for truth and what lined up with Torah and the rulings of Hillel.
Sadly today, for the most part, people could care less of a real truth compared to a real fancy misinterpolation.
This misconstruct from the womb of Rome and re-birthed through the prostestant daughters which brings us to todays rebellious and idoatrious humanity certainly was not what the founding fathersof xianism [if you will] had in mind.
That is my opinion from a lengthy quest of who the people really were that formed the foundation and that includes many historical and rabbinic writings that when taken together, bring out a real working model of who they were, what they stood for and who the battle was against, which for the most part was the house of Shammai[ the Temple grounds rulers at the time].
Sadly, we are not as Echad /one with the Father as was the prayer of a great sage for his Talmidim to follow.
Rabbi Emden a staunch Jewish Rabbi from Germany made great discoveries into the first century men that are attributed as the founding fathers of Christianity. He actually laid his reputation on the line and said we need to re-claim this man, this Torah observant Hasid.
Minus the misconstruct of the man, the blatant ignorance of or not understanding his mission for YAH, and his desire for humanity to be one. We see a Torah observant Jew tapped into the Divine release of authority and that does what any Pious benevolent Jew does, He goes about doing good.
But now hear what the tzaddik says:
Tehillim 128 - A song of ascents, Praiseworthy is each person who fears Hashem, who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands you are praiseworthy and it is well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner chambers of your home; your children will be like olive shoots surrounding your table. Behold for so is blessed the man who fears Hashem. May Hashem bless you from Tzion, and may you gaze upon the goodness of Jerusalem all the days of your life. And may you see children born unto your children, peace upon Israel.
Mishlei 26 - ...A rod is for the backs of fools... Answer a fool according to his foolishness, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
Many look to the one called Yeshua as their messiah really missing the point that in every generation there is born thirty six who are worthy and one of which is the Messiah,...If it were the time.
Yes I know I hear you say "He is the suffering servant for all of us"
Not if you understand the Jews They're simply being cautious and true to the premise upon which their belief-system is built.
The Suffering Servant is both - an individual and Klal Yisrael as a whole.
Why? Because there's only one Jew on this planet and if there's only one Jew, then there's only one Mashiach. In other words, Klal Yisrael is the Guph HaMashiach (Body of the Anointed One) and Mashiach is the Suffering Servant. Cf. R. Akiva's article, "Israelis Are Really Stubborn."
Mankind is a reflection of the Universe. The Universe is a reflection of the Multiverse. The Multiverse is a reflection of the Infinite One, the All-In-All. We, the Universe and the Multiverse ALL reside within the Womb of the Infinite One, where we are ALL in a state of "becoming." We are the Offspring of the Infinite One, but we are also the ezer knegdo (equal-opposite facing helper), that is to say, the Bride of the Infinite One with whom are to be one (echad). This is why Paul could say that Mar Yeshua, "being in the form (morphe) of G_d, thought it not robbery to be equal with G_d" and yet he humbled himself (via self-nullification) and took on the role a servant - Phil. 2:6-7.
Time and again, Rebbe Schneerson spoke about our individual and collective role as being Shitufim (Co-Working Partners) with the Deity in the Creation, in which the Divine Presence (Shekinah) resides, because HaShem is the All-In-All. This is where the Chasidim came into conflict with the Mitnagdim, who felt that this brand of panentheism was dangerously close to pantheism, which it isn't, if one truly understands what's being said.
Paul says like this, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] His eternal power and G_dhead" - Rom. 1:20.
Although the literal meaning (peshat) of the text is never lost ... one cannot deny the non-literal meaning(s) of the text, because the Sacred Text is not static - it's a living text and a reflection of the Mind of the Infinite One.[sm]
However if all is true as the construct handed down from Rome, then the one often called messiah represents the last and final blood covenant for all' Mankind.
Please do not get us wrong but in the early days of Christian study it is all about JC did it all for us ...but the more I trusted the Master to bring me up in HIM to lead me into all truth I found the truth to be in the Basics Not the rulings' handed down however it is well advised to know the rulings and their effect even today as we live and breath for the Masters glory.
If I may allude to this rabbinic discourse passed down in oral teachings it will give that previous statement merit:
As described in the Rabbinic writngs that Moshie had a conversation with Adonai' and when Moshie asked the question "What would happen when the Alter sacrifices ended..Adonai spoke that HE would take a Chasidim' [ a pious benevolent one] from among them and use that as atonement for the nations of IsraEL
Therefore do not miss this so great a Salvation,.... a setting apart from the nations at the end of days =[ Acharit hayamin] It is just you and G-d my dear reader, He is the last and final word in you destiny
We believe that the WORDs of YAHweh compose the Tanach
(the Jewish Scriptures Commonly known as the Old Testament///TaNaK),
is the BREATHED Word of Yod HeyVav Hey... given to the people Y'israel.
IMHO the Apostolic writings of the Brit Chadasha, also known as the New Testament, have some serious issues historically speaking, and really need to be delt with if one is in true study of the historical man Yeshua.
Simply for you to say you follow a man in Righteous piety,[ as some claim] then You must first know the man in humility and piety yourself.
Theirfore, We do suggest you dig for more and more truth on a daily basis through the many historical and Rabbinic documents available such as the Book of Jasher, Book of Enoch, the Talmud(s) *I suggest Everymans Talmud by Avraham Cohen~~and other sources of historical truth to build a firm foundation upon.
The KeDosh Yisroel = The holy ONE of Y'Israel
2 Timothy 3:1517 ; Romans 15:4 ; 2 Peter 1:19-21 ;
Ephesians 6:17 ; Psalms 12:67
"YHVH IS ECHAD"/ ONE"
We believe in the One true Elohim (YHVH) of Abraham, Isaac,
& Jacob, who reveals Himself to us in His Word and through
His Ruach, His Spirit, as Almighty G-d, Loving Father, Beloved Son,
Councilor, Provider, Teacher, Healer, Shepherd, Redeemer, Judge, Protector, and many more pictographs of suggestion yet One YHVH, unified together, as declared in the Shema, "Adonai Echad", "a united One" or "compound unity", Eternally Existent Or Self Existent and omnipresent.
(note; Elohim is a plural noun)
Six and one half Million Hebrews marched into the Executation chambers of Hitler at Ausweitz uttering this scripture....Our El'Elyon is ONE"....
That is enough of a witness for me...JLH
Deut 6:4 ; Isaiah 48:16/17; Psalms 2:7, 2:12 ; Matt 28:19 ;
Luke 3:22 ; John 5:19-23 ; 1 John 2:22-24, 5:7-13
"CREATION"
We believe that YHVH created the Heavens and
the ERTZ/Earth. That the creation of the world was accomplished
in 6 days [ in our understand] and Elohim (YHVH) rested on the 7th day, separating
it and making it a covenant day of Rest , This is the established Shabbot/Sabbath.
YOM-Sabboth
Genesis 1:1, 2:3 ; John 1:1-4 ;
Colossians 1:16-18
"DEITY"
We believe in the 'Deity of of YAHweh' and that He came forth or Tabernacled among us as the Ruach
And manifested within Yeshua as He does with all men in the G-d breathed essence within us, the Nefesh, the soul of our existance.
The Living Word of YAH' resides within us as we study everything we can that has been aquated to the love of Ha'shem to His children.
YHVH tabernacles among the people via the Ruach Ha'Kodosh guiding us on our journey
We' the Servants of YAH' should strive to become Living Epistles the word made flesh in simlar fashion within our communities.
Yehshua Ha Mashiach
(or as the world references =J-sus the Anointed) is taught by the mis-construct that Yeshua is the prophesied"Seed of the woman" promised as YHVH Said from [ Eve] Chavah the Mother of ALL' Living~would stomp on Ha'Satans head {Or Fleshly Kingdom } through the prophesied 'Seed of Daveed', We see in that linage that was continued in Joeseph, Mariams husband, father of Yeshua and that His birth from a virgin/ or set apart woman[ Mariam] was to be a sign to Y'IsraEl of His Messiah- ship.
This is part of the Mis-construct' in our opinion.
Wh?...y because Chavah herself received the promise of the man-child
For more on this subject see the 'Virgin Birth' in the Teachings area
" Yeshua's LIFE"
We do believe in Yeshua's life changing testimony and regard for the Torah truth to be followed for all those who trust and adhere to His covenant ways, not withstanding His miracle intervention in the lives who trust YAH for their healing even today. ...Hebrews 13:v8
Remember your Faith your Emunah is what makes you whole...However as an example; You must walk the walk
His life and more-so His death at the hands of Roman justice used by YAHweh for the transgressions / rebellions of Y'IsraEL and then to all those who come into the Set-apart walk.
His bodily resurrection onto New Life, the Assension is the very basis of Reserrected life in YAHwehs promise to Y'Israel.
YAH's future establishment of His Kingdom in Zion.
Isaiah 9:6-7, 53:8-11 ; 2 Cor 5:21 ; 1 Cor 11:26 ; Zech
12:6-10, 14:16-21 ; Acts 2:34 ; 1 Tim 6:15 ; Rev 17:14, 20:6 ;
John 14-16 ; Matt 1:18-20, 27:35 ; Luke 1:35
"RUACH HA 'KODOSH"
When we are born of the Ruach/ Spirit, YHVH breathes His Breath of Life into us.The Hebrew sages teach that it takes three to crate a human being
We believe in the present ministry of the gifts of the Ruach Ha Kodesh the SET APART SPIRIT [Holy Spirit]
"The Life Breath of G-d", by whose indwelling
the believer is guided into all truth, empowered, and enabled to live a holy life.
.Jer 31:31-34 ; John 14:15-17 ; Ist John 2:v27; Gal 5:13-25
"THE RESURRECTION THEOLOGY"
We believe in the resurrection of both saved and lost were we will judge ach other, the one to life /Tsyion, and the other to eternal separation from YHVH.
Dan 12:2 ; Matt 25:46 ; Psalms 69:28 ; Rev 20:12-15
"CLEANSED {Sanctification} BY GRACE teaching"
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin/ transgression of Torah is by YAHs grace on humanity through faith/ Emunah.
It is written that Moshie had a face to face with Adonai, and in that the question was asked "What will happen when the Tent of Meeting/Temple sacrifices end..
The answer is that YAH' will take from among the covenant people a Chasidim/Tzedek [ a Pious benevolent one] and use him to fulfill the atonement for Y'Israel'...from all indications that one is the one called Yeshua, but now it is up to you to walk as he walked[ first John 2:v6.] It will cost you everything, Not of G-d to walk that type of Tzaddik walk.
Moses stated to the Hebrews There is No remission of Sin without the shedding of Blood.
Second to that...Regeneration by the Ruach
[Spirit] of YHVH is absolutely essential for personal enjoyment and enlightenment to the scriptures.
No one can earn salvation by works [Temple type sacrifices]... only by obedience to the Masters Torah' truth.
Gen 15:6 ; Leviticus 17:11 ; Eph 2:8-9 ; Rom 1:17, 5:1-2 :
Hab 2:4 ; John 3:3 ; Heb 11:6
"YHVH'S COVENANTS"
We believe that the covenants and promises of YHVH are
without end. ..Perpetual,... they endure forever.... Therefore, no covenant of YHVH
has ever been deleted, annulled, or replaced ( Unless He Alone Ratifies it)
Their is a continuem to HIS words.
The commandments of YHVH are still valid and applicable to all followers of Covenant truth, who walk in Faithfulness & obedience.
Gen 9:12 , 17:7, 17:19 ; Deut 5:32, 7:9 ; John 8:31-32 ;
Matt 5:17-18 ; Rom 6:16 ; Isaiah 56:6 ; Jer 32:40 ; Rom 3:31
"YHVH'S APPOINTED HOLY DAYS"
We believe in observing YHVH's Holy days, including the weekly Sabbath
(Friday evening to Saturday evening), and all His appointed feast days
as instructed in the Torah.
Gen 9:12, 17:7, 17:19 ; Ex 12:14, 12:17,
31:17-18 ; Lev 23-24:8
Also we honor the Time of Channukah as a miracle of YAH.
"SONS AND DAUGHTERS
OF ISRAEL"
We believe that the Hebrews [Jewish] according to the flesh (descendants
of Abraham through Isaac, & Yaacob, whether through the bloodline of the
mother or father) who place their faith in Israel's Messiah YAH'shua have not
disowned or separated themselves from their race and Judaic heritage,
but remain sons and daughters of Israel.
The Goyiim [Gentiles] who place their
faith in Israel's Messiah YAH'shua are also, spiritually,
sons and daughters of Israel, being grafted into the
"Commonwealth of Israel", and now they are to worship
YHVH TOGETHER in Spirit and in Truth.
(note: When we say "Jewish" we are not indicating the house of Yahudah only,
but all Y'Israel, because the descendants of Y'Israel today,
who know they are Israelites, don't call themselves Israelites,
they call themselves Jews.)
Gal 3:28-29 ; Rom 2:28-29,11:16-18 ;
Gen 15:6 ; 1 Cor 12"13 ; Heb 10:25 ;
Eph 2:12-=24, 3:6 , 10-12 ; Acts 10:34 1:15
The Aramaic Targum to Song of Songs
English Translation by Jay C. Treat
1:v15 When the Children of Israel did the will of their King, He praised them with His Word in the household of the holy angels. And this is what He said: “How beautiful are your deeds, My beloved daughter, Assembly of Israel, when you do my will, engaging in the dictates of My Law! And how proper are your deeds and affairs!–like turtledoves, the nestlings of doves that are fit to be offered on the altar.”
1:v16 The Assembly of Israel replied before the Lord of the World and this is what she said: “How beautiful is your Holy Presence when You dwell among us and receive our prayer with favor, when You cause love to dwell in our bed and many children to dwell on the earth, and we increase and multiply like a tree planted by a spring of water, whose foliage beautiful and whose fruit is plentiful!”
1:v17 Solomon the prophet said, “How beautiful is the Temple of YAHweh that was built by my hands from cedar! But even more beautiful will be the Temple that is destined to be built in the days of the King, the Messiah, the beams of which will be from the cedars of the Garden of Eden, and the pillars of which will be from fir, juniper, and cypress.”
2:v1 The Assembly of Israel said, “During the time that the L-rd of the World makes His [Presence] Shekinah dwell among us, I am like the narcissus fresh from the Garden of Eden[ Pleasure] and my actions are beautiful like the rose in the valley of the Pleasure-Garden of Eden.
