There has been such an unbelieveable amount of antisemitism on Tumblr, so, I'll just say this.
Lilith is closed.
The Kabbalah is not an occult-y thing you can just use, It is closed to Judaism, always has been, always will be.
The Jewish G-d is not just every other abrahamic deity, they are not the same.
Abrahamic religions are not evil, stop generalizing, if you had a bad experience with Christianity or Judaism or Islam, that is not the whole religion, do not put others down because of it.
and i'll just ask this; why are goyim so, so, interested in jews? why? why does it matter to you? If you aren't trying to learn and be respectful, why are you so interested in telling them why something is closed or open?

So far, two different jewish friends have asked me if I was interested in looking into conversion. Ive joked with them that I know that I have to be rejected by some rabbis at least three times before I can convert, so what do I win if I reject three offers of conversion first? I do appreciate a good loaf of bread, so I'm hoping I win some challah.
Anyway, so last night I dreamed that I was lost in an unknown town without a phone and I didnt know how to get back home. The only place I could find help was a shul that doubled as a late night community centre, and some older jewish people literally showed me the way home.
I'm choosing to not read too deeply into that lmao

Are Noachides Messianic Jews?
While there can be overlap, generally, no.
Most Noahides do not profess themselves to be Jewish as the term itself acknowledges that the adherent is not Jewish. Messianics, however, are by-and-large Christians claiming to be Jewish.
A Noahide refers to a non-Jew who chooses to adhere to the following seven commandments known as the Seven Laws of Noah:
1) Do not deny God. 2) Do not blaspheme God. 3) Do not murder. 4) Do not engage in illicit sexual relations. 5) Do not steal. 6) Do not eat from a live animal. 7) Establish courts of justice and a legal system
The modern Noahide movement is very new and was only established in the 1990s by some religious Zionist organizations--Early promoters include convicted terrorist Meir Kahane. Despite its popularity online, it does not have a huge number of adherents, or do many Jews promote it.

what exactly would you call someone that has the desire to convert, but for one reason or another cannot go through the actual process to do so?
Hi anon,
There are a number of people in my Jewish community who are not Jewish and are either not able to or simply don't have plans to become Jewish, and they are still valued members of our community and mishpacha.
Some are gentile family members (non-Jewish spouses, step-siblings or step-parents, or supportive parents of gerim), some are Noachides, and some are simply folks who feel a strong affinity for our community.
My rabbi tends to call these folks "fellow travelers." They are gentiles, yes, but they are still part of our community.
I think for someone who can't convert but wishes to, the next closest step is being a Noachide and fellow traveler. I hope your circumstances change to allow you to follow your desire for a life of Torah, but in the meantime you can still honor Hashem through the Noachide laws.

Jewish views, as codified in Jewish law, are split between those who see Christianity as outright idolatry and those who see Christianity as shituf. While Christians view their worship of a trinity as monotheistic, Judaism generally rejects this view.
The Talmud warns against causing an idolater to take oaths. The commentators living in Christian Germany in the 12th century, called Tosafists, permitted Jews to bring a Christian partner to court in partnership during a breakup even though the Christian would take an oath by God, which to Christians would include Jesus, by saying that so long as another deity is not mentioned explicitly, there is no forbidden oath taking place, but only an association. Although all of the Tosafists agreed that partnerships that may lead to such an oath may not be entered into originally, they disagree as to once such a partnership exists whether or not one may go to court in order to not to lose his portion of the partnership and even though such an oath is a side-effect. In a terse comment, they wrote:
It is permissible to [cause a gentile's oath through litigation with one's non-Jewish partner because] today all swear in the name of the saints to whom no divinity is ascribed. Even though they also mention God's name and have in mind another thing, in any event no idolatrous name is actually said, and they also have the Creator of the world in mind. Even though they associate (shituf) God's name with "something else", we do not find that it is forbidden to cause others to associate (shituf), and there is no issue of placing a stumbling block before the blind (see Leviticus 19:14) [by entering into litigation with the non-Jewish business partner, thereby causing him to take an oath] because Noachides were not warned about it.[1]
In the 16th century, the terse comment is explained as follows by Moses Isserles, where it is seemingly expanded to allowing partnerships in the first place:
Today, it is permitted [to form a partnership with Christians], because when they swear on their holy scriptures called the Evangelion, they do not hold it to be divine. Even though when they mention God they mean Jesus, they do not mention idolatry since they really mean the Creator of heaven and earth. Even though they mention jointly (shituf) God's name and another name, there is no prohibition to cause someone to jointly mention [or associate] (shituf) God with another... since this association is not forbidden to gentiles.

why did you decide to convert rather than become a righteous gentile? also have a nice Shabbat
Hi there,
So there is a real answer to this that I might get into later, but I'm gonna be honest, this is a really personal question.
The least personal aspect of it though is that being a Noachide is a very specific life choice that is not at all remotely equivalent in activities or community to becoming a Jew.

the uk office is a profoundly atheist show. it depicts an entirely enclosed world with no gaps thru whixh divinity could leak thru. even the possibility of God is excluded on principle. while the theme song alludes to the decline of the middle class and the reduction of all once hallowed professions to mere labor under capitalism neither the show nor song presents any sense that something else is possible. it has no love for the world but also thinks that this world is all there is and so amounts to an exercise in self-pity. it is a depressive form of media. the us office is more pagan. it has no more of a hint of a crack in the world than the uk office but it becomes gradually inurred to this world and tied to it. it worships golden idols and achieving success by the standards of our corrupt world. and while conventional wisdom might be that atheism is preferable to idol worship (the laws of the noachide some of the few that explicitly r said to apply universally to all humanity instead of being terms of a covenant btwn God and a particular nation bans idol worship but says nothing abt atheism) and indeed i find the uk office more enjoyable as a watch im inclined to prefer the attitude of a latter. since capitalism fundamentally does not work engagement in its world from anyone except the bourgeois even a true believwe will tend to lead to tension strife frustration failure. engagement can produce cracks

27 Iyyar 5784 (3-4 Iyyar 2024)
In the story of Noach and the great deluge in B’reshit, the waters cover the earth for a full 364 day solar year, or a year and ten days by lunar reckoning. It is the 17th day of the second month when the flood begins, and the 27th day of the second month of the following year when Noach and all the other passengers leave the ark. It is at this point that HaShem covenants to not destroy human life by flood again, which the Torah establishes as the etiological origin of rainbows. The Noachide mitzvot are also given at this point. Some progressive Jewish communities observe the twenty-seventh of Iyyar as Rainbow Day, a reminder of our ecological interconnectedness and obligations to all of creation.
The twenty-seventh of Iyyar is the final night of the sixth week of the Omer count. Yesterday was the forty-first day of the Omer. After tonight’s count, one week remains before Shavuot.

Good morning.
Our detour through John's Good News now at an end, today we return to Mark's account of Jesus's ministry. Hot on the heels of his miracle of the multiplication of the loaves – and, as John would have it, the controversy that arose afterward – Jesus finds himself pulled into a different sort of controversy about food.
This argument will prove to be so frustrating to Jesus that, after he says his say, he'll leave Jewish territory entirely, aiming to hide from the crowds in Syro-Phoenecian Tyre.
But, as we've recently seen from John, Jesus is no stranger to frustrating arguments, nor to being misunderstood. Why is this particular argument what finally breaks his patience?
Let's first talk about the specific rule that kicks off this controversy: washing your hands before meals. In our time, this is fairly normal, to avoid getting germs inside you. In Jesus's time… insisting on it was a Jewish peculiarity. It seems to have derived from the Mosaic rules for the Temple priests, slowly expanded upon by concentric doctrinal safety fences until they included everyone. There's some confusion as to the timeline, however; modern Jewish reckoning says that the universally applicable mandate to wash before meals was invented after the Second Temple's destruction in 70 AD, adapting a Temple-related commandment which was to be "permanent", "from generation to generation" to a world where there was no Temple at all. And yet somehow Mark – writing in 75 AD at the latest – seemed to think it was already a long-established tradition during Jesus's ministry.
So this seems like an innocuous rule for Jesus to get so hung up on when people ask him why his disciples don't always follow it. He could easily turn around to his disciples and say, "hey, the Rabbis are the religious authorities for now, so do what they say", like he later would in Matthew's account. Or else he could have, like the Apostles eventually did, argued that those followers of his were covered under Noachide rather than Mosaic law.
But Jesus chose, instead, to put up a fight about the doctrine itself, as a proxy battle about Rabbinical extrapolations of God's law in general. And the fight he puts up is strange. He doesn't challenge their reasoning, as other rabbis might. Rather, he goes straight to the results of the reasoning, giving – in the full version of the encounter – an example of how Talmudic precedents (which were, at the time, oral rather than written) create a "letter of the law" that can contradict the law's spirit.
This is, after all, the weakness of a covenant based on statutes and decrees. It becomes easy to focus on the rules themselves, rather than remaining concerned with understanding the underlying principles which gave rise to those rules. Combine with that a practice of interpreting and extrapolating on those rules as caselaw, and you can quickly find that these minor deviations have multiplied to leave you hopelessly lost.
So Jesus bypasses the legalistic arguments, the arguments based on interpretation, and skips straight to the results. That's his approach to doctrine generally: skip to the results and use that to assess whether the process was correct. "By their fruits you shall know them."
And from here he goes one step further, and argues – though quietly – that even parts of the Mosaic law have outlived their service to that principle, to the purpose of the law that Moses himself provides today (i.e. "that you may live, and may enter into the land which God is giving you"). And this is the part that frustrates him: nobody – not the scholars he was arguing with, not the crowds, not even his own inner circle, fresh from their miraculous tour of the region – seems ready to go that far. Even when Jesus gives a more explicit hint as what he's saying, the Apostles don't seem to get the gist; the meaning of his words are added only in a parenthetical by Mark, who was writing decades later, long after the letter from Jerusalem that loosened this law more explicitly.
If part of Jesus's role was to move us from a covenant of statues and decrees, to the covenant of "God's logic is written in our hearts", that failure to even consider that the law might not be absolute must have been an incredibly frustrating experience. No wonder he wanted to throw up his hands and leave for a faraway region where there'd be no-one to argue with.
But… this deadly tendency which Jesus criticizes today… it's a problem for us Christians as well. We may not have Talmudic case law, but we absolutely have our own ironclad, human-derived doctrines, and without even the Jewish escape hatch of pikuach nefesh, of "most of the Law is suspended when necessary to save a specific human life, because the purpose of the law is that we might live".
So we should not take Jesus's words today as any kind of mark of Christian superiority. Rather – as always, when Jesus criticizes the religious authorities of his time – we should imagine him talking about the authorities of our time, and apply his warnings to our own religious dogmas and practices.
What fruit do they bear? Are they doctrines of life, or death? Are they still relevant to what's really important, or have they gotten so tied up in metaphysical inside baseball that they've got nothing to do with the outside world anymore?
Because only when we get this right can we become the sort of people Moses imagines, who the world can look at and recognize that there's something greater than ourselves behind what we're doing. Only then can we "welcome the word that has been planted in us", as the correspondent James urges us today. Only then can we transcend a legalistic covenant of statutes and become God's own people, his law written in our hearts.

Interpreting controversial passages in the Talmud, such as those that are sometimes cited to claim that Jews can cheat or steal from Gentiles, requires a careful, nuanced approach. These interpretations have historically been used to spread anti-Semitic rhetoric, but they often misunderstand or deliberately distort the Talmud's teachings. Here's how to approach such interpretations:
### 1. **Understand the Talmud's Structure and Purpose**
The Talmud is a complex work of Jewish law and ethics that includes a vast array of legal debates, ethical discussions, folklore, and moral teachings. It is important to remember that the Talmud is not a monolithic text; it presents multiple opinions and arguments, some of which were specific to historical contexts or theoretical debates rather than universally applicable rules.
### 2. **Contextual Interpretation**
Most controversial statements must be understood within the historical and social context in which they were made. The Talmud was written in a time when Jews lived as minorities under often hostile regimes. Some rulings or discussions may have been intended to protect the Jewish community in situations where they were vulnerable to exploitation or persecution. These discussions are often case-specific and not intended as blanket moral principles.
### 3. **Distinction Between Legal and Aggadic Texts**
The Talmud consists of both **Halakhic** (legal) and **Aggadic** (narrative or homiletic) texts. Legal texts (Halakha) are binding and form the basis of Jewish law, while Aggadic texts are non-binding and often use hyperbole, allegory, or metaphor to convey a moral lesson. Some of the most controversial statements are found in Aggadic passages and should not be taken as prescriptive law.
### 4. **Rabbis and Multiple Opinions**
The Talmud records the opinions of many rabbis, often disagreeing with each other. Some views might seem harsh or controversial, but they are not necessarily the accepted or final opinion in Jewish law. The diversity of opinions reflects the Talmud’s role as a record of debate, not a final legal code.
### 5. **Jewish Ethical Principles**
Jewish law emphasizes ethical behavior toward all people, Jews and non-Jews alike. The Talmud, when interpreted correctly, upholds the importance of honesty, fairness, and justice. Jewish tradition includes the **Noachide Laws**, a set of moral principles that apply to all humanity, reflecting Judaism's belief in universal ethics.
### 6. **Specific Passages Often Misinterpreted**
- **Bava Kamma 113a**: One of the passages often cited as proof that Jews can cheat Gentiles discusses whether a Jew is allowed to reclaim a debt by subterfuge in situations where the legal system (run by Gentiles) would not support their claim. However, this discussion is about legal technicalities and protections under unjust systems, not a general endorsement of cheating or theft.
- **Sanhedrin 57a**: This passage discusses the ethical obligations of Gentiles under the Noachide Laws, but it does not promote unethical behavior by Jews. Instead, it outlines differences in legal obligations and reflects historical realities where Jews were often denied justice in non-Jewish courts.
### 7. **Rabbinic Responsa and Modern Interpretations**
Throughout history, rabbis have written extensive **responsa** (legal opinions) clarifying the application of Talmudic law in various contexts. Modern rabbinic authorities generally reject any interpretation that suggests unethical behavior toward non-Jews is permissible. They emphasize that Jewish law requires fairness and honesty in all dealings, irrespective of the other party’s religion.
### 8. **Refuting Anti-Semitic Misuse**
Anti-Semitic groups have historically cherry-picked Talmudic passages to propagate the idea that Judaism encourages hostility toward non-Jews. These interpretations often ignore the broader context, the Talmud's internal debates, and the ethical teachings of Judaism. Educating about the true nature of these texts and their interpretations is crucial in combating such misuse.
### 9. **Reform and Orthodox Jewish Stances**
Most modern Jewish movements, including Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox Judaism, stress ethical behavior and mutual respect. They actively reject any interpretation of the Talmud that would permit dishonesty or theft from anyone, Jew or Gentile.
### 10. **Conclusion**
Interpreting the Talmud requires a deep understanding of its historical context, the structure of Jewish law, and the ethical principles that underlie it. Claims that the Talmud condones unethical behavior toward Gentiles are rooted in misunderstandings or deliberate distortions of the text. Jewish law and tradition consistently emphasize justice, fairness, and ethical behavior for all people. When approached with intellectual honesty and respect for its complexity, the Talmud can be seen as a profound source of moral guidance, not as a text that promotes unethical actions.

Job 6: 1-7. "The Dove and the Falcon."
Tumblr media
Anguish is life in a human body which experiences happiness in between begging to eat, drink, pee, evacuate, orgasm, work, rest, and also take care of others. The spaces of time between these "braying donkeys" are the only moments we can work on being happy. The goal of the spiritist is to run the mind in parallel to the needs of the body and do what has to be done without feeding the donk and spoiling it rotten. Overfeeding a donkey to the point it is a burden rather than bears a burden is called an addiction.
An addiction creates a superordinate goal in the brain, meaning it changes the wiring of the brain so that every other basic need in the body and life comes second in line to the addictive substance or experience. Addictions are terrifying because they interfere with the ability of the mind to learn how to think using the parallel motions I mention above.
Anguish includes avoiding patterns of addiction and for this, one needs heavy investment in the ordinary patterns of life. I have noticed, however, that many Jewish persons feel unsure if Judaism and ordinary life are compatible. Indeed in many ways they are not supposed to be ordinary persons, but somehow we still need to satisfy basic needs and desires without being caught up and find Ha Shem.
The following section of Job explains the importance of reluctance towards addictive behaviors and strong preferances for normalcy that includes a proper pattern of homages.
6 Then Job replied:
2 “If only my anguish could be weighed     and all my misery be placed on the scales! 3 It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas—     no wonder my words have been impetuous. 4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me,     my spirit drinks in their poison;     God’s terrors are marshaled against me. 5 Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass,     or an ox bellow when it has fodder? 6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt,     or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow[a]? 7 I refuse to touch it;     such food makes me ill.
The tract says we think the food data we get from the Shule is going to taste bad to the brain and life is no longer going to be any fun. Above the taste of it is said to be "tatestless poison, sickening." Anyone who has ever drank too much and puked while the world spun, or tried to get out of bed for three weeks after a meth binge will agree religion is not nearly so poisonous.
The Values in Gematria are:
v. 1-3: My words have been impetuous. The Number is 13355, יגגהה‎‎‎‎, "stare at the medicine."
Just as there is no poison in Judaism, there is no medicine in ordinary culture. We must learn to live as the Torah says or life outside of the animal self, which has no control over its appetites and bodily needs will not develop. Ordinary society will not encourage this. It does not know how, it is not even its role.
v. 4: The Arrows of the Almighty are in me. The Number is 5033. האֶפֶסגג‎ ‎ ‎"the summit."
Arrows are distance weapons. One has to identify a target, aim, and release the bowstring with precision or the arrow misses. There is no such thing as a miss with a requirement or a stricture. One does what one is supposed to do, and one refrains from what one is not supposed to do and the arrow never misses.
We spoke recently about the Noachide Laws. These are the basis for how one should aim one's arrows.
v. 5: Does a wild donkey bray? Does the ox bellow? These are animals. Feed them, they will do what you want. Starve or mistreat them, they will kill you. Human beings do not bray or bellow, they wait, are patient, and find ways to solve their problems in ways an animal has no ability to comprehend. The Number is 6332, וגג‎‎ב, "and back and back."
This is the warning against addictive experiences. It is fun to blow smoke in someone's face and schcrew his haunches off but no good will ever truly come from doing it again and again. The loneliness this creates is always unbearable. So long as the mind thinks its needs can be met anticipating a fantasy hookup all the moments it has, that is how it will behave.
v. 6: Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow[a]? The Number is 5227, ה‎בבז‎ , the falcon.
There are two kinds of birds in the Shule, the dove and the falcon. Doveboys who flit and float about acting and looking holier than thou are forbidden. Jesus got in big trouble for telling the Shule not to sell doves but He was right.
Observe:
Doves=849,חדט‎ "sharp".
Falcons= 210, רי‎‎, "ri" "two hundred" AKA "completed", "Does not fly blind."
"The root ערר ('arar) describes an accumulation in one place that results in an emptiness or barrenness everywhere else — both cities and clouds form from this principle, and indeed any sort of commercial or intellectual fortune. Adjectives ערירי ('ariri) and ערער ('ar'ar) mean stripped, childless or destitute. Noun מערה (me'ara) literally means "place of being stripped" and is the Bible's common word for cave. Noun ערוער ('aro'er) denotes some kind of tree or bush (probably one without leaves).
Noun עיר ('ir) is the Bible's common word for city, which constitutes an accumulation of people and goods, usually in the middle of a wide area without remaining trees. Noun עיר ('ayir) came to specifically denote the wild ass, but apparently stems from the more common behavior of standing around in clusters in the middle of a field that's been grazed clean (in other languages this word also denotes gazelles and such).
Verb עור ('awar) means to be or make blind, and blindness occurs most commonly due to a cataract (which looks like a skin forming over the eye, and is due to a cloudy accumulation of protein in the ocular lens). Adjective עור ('iwwer) means blind. Nouns עורון ('iwwaron) and עורת ('awweret) mean blindness.
Verb עור ('ur I) means to rouse oneself — literally to collect and bundle one's feelings. Noun עיר ('ir) means excitement.
Identical verb עור ('ur II) means to be exposed or laid bare. Noun מעור (ma'or) means nakedness and noun מערם (ma'arom) means naked one. Adjectives עירם ('erom), ערם ('erom), ערום ('arom) and ערם ('arom) mean naked. Noun עור ('or) means skin or hide.
Verb ערה ('ara) also means to be naked or bare. Nouns ערה ('ara), מערה (ma'ara) and מער (ma'ar) refer to bare or exposed places. Nouns ערוה ('erwa) and עריה ('erya) mean nakedness or exposure. Noun תער (ta'ar) denotes a thing that makes bare: a razor or sheath of a sword."
While it is better to be a dove than to be a lamb or a ram, doves are not what we want. The national bird of Israel is therefore not a dove but a falcon.
v. 7: I refuse to touch it. The Number is 1646, י״ודו‎, Yedu, "admit the knowledge," also the Hebrew root for India, which means "charm the snake."
The Hebrew verb ידע (yada') means to know. This very important root occurs 944 times in the Old Testament and is found across the Semitic language spectrum. Its Greek counterpart is γινωσκω (ginosko).
This verb is used in all the expected ways, but most notably in Proverbs 1:7, where it reads: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge". Since knowledge is typically obtained through the senses, the mere act of observation appears to be equal with fearing God.
Another notable usage of our verb is in the procreative sense: when a man "knows" a woman, he's having sex with her (Genesis 4:1, Judges 11:39), and this says quite a bit about how the Hebrews saw marriage and the process of learning. The Word of God was of course personified, and so learning about the laws of nature was deemed equal to being in a marriage relationship with the Creator.
Our verb may also describe knowledge that is not so much cognitive but rather empirical or experiential. Ecclesiastes 8:5 states that 'he who keeps the commandment will know no evil', which refers to the experience of bad things rather than a cognitive examination of vice. In that same vein, the dire consequences of eating from the 'tree of knowledge of good and evil' obviously does not refer to the dangers of learning or scientific rebellion (learning and science are held in the highest possible regard in the Bible) but rather the notion that chomping off the wrong branch is going to make bad things happen to you.
The derivatives of this verb are:
The masculine noun דע (dea') meaning knowledge (Job 36:4) or judgment or opinion (Job 36:3).
The feminine noun דעה (dea'), also meaning knowledge (1 Samuel 2:3; "A God of knowledge is YHWH", Jeremiah 3:15).
The feminine noun דעת (da'at), also meaning knowledge (Genesis 2:9, Joshua 20:3). This noun is the most common word for knowledge.
The masculine noun ידעני (yidde'oni), denoting a familiar spirit (Leviticus 19:31, 1 Samuel 28:3, Isaiah 8:19). This word is commonly translated with sorcerer or magician.
The masculine noun מודע (moda') or מדע (moda'), meaning relative or kinsman (Ruth 2:1, Proverbs 7:4).
The feminine noun מדעת (moda'at), meaning kindred or kinship (Ruth 3:2 only).
The masculine noun מדע (madda'), meaning knowledge (2 Chronicles 1:10), or literally: the place of knowledge, or thought (Ecclesiastes 10:20).
The adverb מדוע (madua') or מדע (maddua'), expressing an inquisition: why? This word is probably a contraction from מה־ידוע (me-yadua'), meaning: what being known?
The verb הדה (hada) means to stretch out one's hand, or more specifically: to manually extract snakes from their burrows, or to snake-charm.
The body is a stall and a hole that contains some animal essences that can be reasononed with, some can never be reasoned with. It is best to learn how to do more with less early in life. This is the reason we emphasize Shabbos, the opposite of instant gratification which is the reason for all addictions.
Notice also the strong indications within the language for how to understand the rules of Kosher,which explain proper relations between persons and their surroundings instead of how Jews are supposed to eat.

The Book of Moroni, Chapter 2. "A Moronic Place."
Tumblr media
Jesus gave the twelve Nephite disciples power to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost. About A.D. 401–21.
1 The words of Christ, which he spake unto his disciples, the twelve whom he had chosen, as he laid his hands upon them—
2 And he called them by name, saying: Ye shall call on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after ye have done this ye shall have power that to him upon whom ye shall lay your hands, ye shall give the Holy Ghost; and in my name shall ye give it, for thus do mine apostles.
3 Now Christ spake these words unto them at the time of his first appearing; and the multitude heard it not, but the disciples heard it; and on as many as they laid their hands, fell the Holy Ghost.
The Twelve Nephite Disciples are :
Nephi
Jacob
Enos
Jarom
Omni
Mosiah
Alma
Helaman
Nephi
Mormon
Ether
Moroni
Together they create a message:
"My soul, Jacob, is human. The cause is to foster the Messiah, that which hammers the Mormon soul out of this moronic place."
America is indeed a moronic place filled with dipshitz that are doing their very best to do their very worst. What a shame that is. Thankfully, slavery ended and we no longer have that to deal with, but there is still so very far to go. All we need to make the journey shorter are those Noachide Laws, called Beersheba, the Seven Wells, Courts of Justice that are willing to do their jobs properly, and life in America will turn around and become quite good.
The Values in Gematria are:
v. 1: The Words of Christ. There are Twelve Steps. The Number is 7311, ז‎גאא, zagaa, "charity."
The reason there are Twelve Disciples and Twelve Tribes is because this is the point in the Gematria where the number starts to double, meaning the past and the future meet.
Twelve Disciples are #2020, באֶפֶסבאֶפֶס, "the finite and the infinite are one and the same" = "you are what you eat."
v. 2: And He called them by name. The Number is 12910, יבטאאֶפֶס‎, yebatapes, "life will be reset."
v. 3: They laid their hands then fell the Holy Ghost. "They put their arms down." They stopped fighting. The Number is 9092, טאֶפֶסטב, tapestry, tapestab. "You got caught."
What does it mean to get caught? Does this mean sneaking cookie? Skipping class? Not doing your homework? Or were you lying, raping, cheating, terrorizing, wasting time with a bunch of nonsense, leaving the smoking dead behind you, and now you you want your freedom?
You deserve to die for what you have done and you know who you are. Salvation for the rest shall not take place until this stupid, stupid nation is held accountable for all the evil it has done in the eyes of the Lord.

Lawless - When we look at a rainbow, be reminded of God's Noachide laws, which state that ALL NATIONS that want to be prosperous needs to follow seven basic rules, which include property rights, unbiased justice system, protecting life, being sexually pure, and enforcing the law.

Hey! This is in regards to an old question you answered in December, where you shared the word “fellow travelers. “ Do you think that people who earnestly want to convert and are studying but are only able to access online versions of Jewish community can count ourselves as fellow travelers?  Even if we don’t have an IRL community to vouch for us or a personal Rabbi or any of that?
Hi anon,
Yes, of course! The phrase (at least the way I'm using it) is not a term of art with a highly specific legal/halachic meaning attached. It's actually meant to be very expansive and include all of the people who vibe with Judaism and feel closeness to the Jewish people without themselves being Jewish. Noachides, prospective gerim, people who dropped out of the conversion process but nevertheless are still members of their Jewish community, non-Jewish family members of Jews, strong allies who have put themselves out there for us — it's a catchall term to make sure that anyone who is connected to us in some significant way and should be included is included. It's meant to make sure no one gets left behind.

JEWISH TERRORISM & GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS IN OCCUPIED HOLY LAND SINCE 1948, AND CONTINUING BY KILLING OF HELPLESS & INNOCENT CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND OLD PEOPLE UNDER THE EYES OF IMPOTENT WORLD LEADERS, GOD FORBID AMEN.

January 17, 2016, Israeli settlers scrawl hate graffiti on Jerusalem church,  Ma’an News Agency, 1/17/2016
“…the doors of the Dormition Abbey church were vandalized with threats scrawled in Hebrew that read: ‘Kill the Christians, the enemy of Israel’ and ‘The revenge is coming very soon,’ as well as ‘Send Christians to hell.’…In 2014, a suspected Israeli extremist lit a prayer book on fire in the abbey, in what police at the time said was a suspected arson attack just hours after Pope Francis held mass at a nearby Christian holy spot during a visit to the area.
“A year before that, Israeli extremists spray-painted ‘Jesus is a monkey’ in Hebrew outside the church, and ‘Havat Maon,’ the name of an illegal Israeli settler outpost that had been dismantled by the Israeli government just days before the attack, Israeli daily Haaretz reported at the time.
“In 2012, suspected extremists spray-painted ‘Jesus, son of a bitch,’ in Hebrew, with the words ‘price tag,’ a term used by Israeli extremists to mark nationalist-motivated hate crimes.
“Abu Nassar said in the past that the extremists responsible for the attacks were not prosecuted by the Israeli government in a ‘serious way.’
Dormition Abbey dates back to the 5th century, and is thought to be the place where the Virgin Mary died.

The rabbi gave a more shocking answer on the same site when asked if soldiers were permitted to rape women during war. Karim replied that, as part of maintaining fitness for the army and the soldiers' morale during fighting, it is permitted to “breach” the walls of modesty and “satisfy the evil inclination by lying with attractive Gentile women against their will, out of consideration for the difficulties faced by the soldiers and for overall success.

“Two IDF soldiers shot Palestinian teenage Samir Awad from behind eight times in January 2013, killing him. Nearly four years and a string of investigative failures later, it looks unlikely that either of the accused will go to jail.”
December 27, 2016, Israeli forces killed 31 Palestinian youths in the occupied West Bank in 2016
“2016 has been deadliest year of the past decade for West Bank children, according to Defense for Children International–Palestine. In the past year Israeli forces have killed 31 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program director at DCIP, says, ‘Intentional lethal force now appears to be routinely used by Israeli forces, even in unjustified situations, with no accountability, putting more and more children at risk.’”

2 Kings 10: 6-8. "The Leading Man."
Tumblr media
Everyone loves the dizzy boy. We think he can do no wrong. He's lithe, he's cute, funny, he plays sports, he gets drunk, let's himself get flocked like a carpet, pukes all over the place, then he shows up to class, cracks jokes, almost everyone falls for it.
Behind the scenes are real people with real lives, the Leading Men who watch, clean up the vomit, say there, there now, there will be other flockers in your life soon enough, hold tight. Except the Melachim say that is not the role adults in positions of authority are supposed to play, which means the oneness is on the Princes.
Prince and dizzy boy personalities do not mix. After Jehu's Letter, Tav, another word for the Altar arrives, the leading men take the Court aside and slaughter the Princes, which is Torah Talk for a frank education in what is good and what is evil.
A sanhedrin argues religious principals among experts who are equals in their areas of expertise. A slaughter takes place between persons of unequal status.
This one occurs because Ahab and Jezebel saturated the kingdom with immorality, their inappropriate beliefs and behaviors became ingrained. Just look at what happened in America once parents started supporting the Make America Great Again campaign, having discussions at dinner, playing news programs in the house that spout and sputter all day long.
Now we have new generations of misanthropic clones to deal with and the message is not getting through, especially about the legality of most of it. When such a thing happens, and it's happened before, the Melachim says the remedy falls upon the shoulders of the Leading Men who no doubt relish the thought of rearranging the brains of a new breed of Hitler Youth:
Now the royal princes, seventy of them, were with the leading men of the city, who were rearing them. 
7 When the letter arrived, these men took the princes and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel. 
8 When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the princes.”
Then Jehu ordered, “Put them in two piles at the entrance of the city gate until morning.”
The Gate to the city is the mind, it has two windows, the eyes, a messenger, the ears. The City is the whole entire person, who is either happy within himself and among others or not depending on his constitution. Princes are young men who learn how to be self-programmed to seek the utmost of constituencies in life.
The Torah presumes this state of self-programming becomes possible just after the onset of puberty. Before this time, yes and no must have absolute value in the life of the young person, there can be no arguments about the Noachide Laws or why Abraham interceded for every sad sack that came his way, or why God told him to spare Isaac. The dichotomy between God and Adam and Eve, between Compassion and suffering, and then between Noach and the rest of humanity, must be established by the world's Leading Men at the gate of grown up life or the dizzy boy, not a Prince is nigh.
Tumblr media
*=doing dizzy girl realness.
So the 70 Princes and their Leading Men are the same we learned about in the Torah, just at different stages of expertise. The Tav, the table, the Altar, is where the differences along with the idiot heads are removed.
The Value in Gematria for the above verse are:
v. 7: 9473: טדזג tadzag, "the love town of the forbidden."
v. 8: 10535: י‎הגה‎, "will come up with" the power of deduction.
From Vayishlach:
Dinah [to deduce] and the Shechemites [having a sense of responsibility]
34 Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. 2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite [one who takes vows and lives in the temple, probably means the Holy Ghost], the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her. 3 His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her. 4 And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”
=Deduction comes to those who are responsible; they house the Holy Ghost. It ravishes those who seeks its intuition, it confirms its marriage to them with vermilion, the color of the heart, of blood which gives us life, the color we blush. 
Have you ever seen a dizzy boy blush? Is it cute or not? What about a Prince whose cheeks change color while he maintains his posture, his position and his dignity?
Such is the Kabbalah of the Leading Man.
