#Leviticus 19

[quotesfromscripture]

Stand up in the presence of a person with gray hair, show respect for the old; you are to fear your God; I am ADONAI.

Leviticus 19:32 CJB (1998)

[tabernacleheart]

What is the Bible prescription to becoming holy? It indeed departs appreciably from all the paths [offered by the world at large]. However, it is exact. And it is specific. The Bible delivers a prescription to becoming holy in the form of ‘Do’s and ‘Do-not do’s... [which] are of a universal value, applicable to all aspiring for holiness in their lives, [regardless of religion. For any soul, then,] to become truly holy, the Divine prescription-- as articulated in Torah and in the prophets-- needs to be learned in depth, and then re-learned, and re-learned again, until this prescription is practiced on a regular basis. Once this happens, the prescription is engraved as a way of life, the ‘Do’s and ‘Do-not do’s are absorbed to become like second nature. In the language of Torah, a ‘Do-not do’, which has formerly been observed as Divine command that needs to be fulfilled, is now replaced with “Not being able to do”.

An aspiring individual, wishing to be holy, then no longer merely fulfills a Divine commandment: “Be holy, for I, Jehovah, am holy”. Rather, he, or she, becomes God-like. [As shocking as it may seem,] to become like God is an ancient desire. It had formerly been expressed, in Torah, in a perverted way, by Adam and Eve, who desired to be like Elohim (Genesis 3:5). To be Elohim-like means to resemble the Creator, namely, dominate nature. This time, [by choosing to serve with compassion,] the same desire-- to be like God-- is expressed differently, materializing the right way. It is expressed as a desire to become Jehovah-like, via becoming truly holy. But why does becoming truly holy, 'Torah fashion', imply becoming Jehovah-like? Because: “I, Jehovah, am holy”.

Being Holy

What is being holy all about? We are called to be holy. I have thought and thought about this thing of being holy for a very long time. I thought I didn’t have it, but I really wanted it. God said, in the first verse of Leviticus 19, “Be holy, because I am holy!” He then goes on to tell us how to do that. I know Leviticus is not one of the modern Believer’s favorite books. It’s full of rules and…

Actively loving our neighbors

Actively loving our neighbors

A compassionate heart cannot remain inactive when becoming aware of real needs. Romans 13:8-10 – “Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not covet; and any other commandment, are summed up by this commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no…

Superman runs to Smallville in Gene Luen Yang’s “Superman Smashes the Klan”

He passes by the Lutheran church that has a verse on the sign

The verse Leviticus 19:34

What does that say?

“You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭19‬:‭34‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Nice work there

Remember Superman is the tale of the immigrant and the child raised between two worlds. How is that impossible a tale to tell?

Leviticus 19:9-18 – Be a Good Neighbor

A commitment to community life needs good neighbors.

When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God. Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your…

Set Apart to Stand Out, Not Blend In
