A Statistical Report on the State of Religion in America

The Index of Leading Spiritual Indicators—A Statistical Report on the State of Religion in America

This book was first published in 1996, yet how much has the American church changed for the better since then?

 Here are some startling statistics:

~85% of Americans claim to be Christian

 ~10% of Americans are “Bible Christians”: that is, they fully accept biblical authority, total trust in Christ for salvation, are evangelistic and are active in a church, and believe in moral absolutes.

 ~25% of Americans are “Conventional Christians”: they claim total trust in Christ for salvation, are involved in a church, they exercise a privatized faith, believe in moral relativism and appreciate the Bible.

~ 28% of Americans are “Cultural Christians”: they have a universalistic world-view, their religion is
works based (i.e., they believe that good people will go to heaven), they are moral relativistic, nominal
church involvement and are Christian in name only.

 Of those who claim to be Christian, only 40% believe in a literal Satan; 63% believe in the accuracy of
the Bible; only 30% read their Bible in a week; only 57% agree that good people will go to heaven; only 31% believe in a fiery place of torment after death; 37% believe hell is only symbolic; only 9% knew what the “Great Commission” was; 63% had no idea what “John 3:16” referred to; and only 35% could accurately define the meaning of the word gospel.

Interesting!

Torah Overview

Genesis (Beresheit) is the book dealing with beginnings and eventually its overarching theme is divine election. Exodus (Shemot) is the book whose principle theme is redemption - Israel's deliverance from Egypt (Mitzraim/world). Leviticus (Vayikra) continues to be focused upon the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and gives the commandments on how to worship YHVH in spirit - come into the inner court. Numbers (B'midbar) gives us instructions pertaining to our spiritual walk and warfare in the "wilderness" of life. Deuteronomy (D'varim) gives instructions to the younger generation in preparation to enter the Promised Land. ~Gateway to Freedom

Tribulation and a Tribulum

Deu 4:30 "When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the YHWH thy Elohim, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;"

                                                
                                             This is a tribulum.  It is used in farming. 

The farmer would stand on it while he is being pulled by an animal.  It is pulled over the wheat, where it puts pressure on to help remove wheat from the chaff.   Afterward, the wheat is then taken into a place to be tossed into the air and the wind blows on it an the wheat falls to the floor.  Then the wheat is then taken into the storehouse.  This would not have been done over weeds (tares).  That is a waste of time.  Tribulation is a pressing in, a time of distress, Time of Jacob's Trouble. So many people believe they will be taken out before Tribulation. But the tribulation is not for the weeds.  The weeds (tares) are then taken and thrown into the fire.

What Is It To Be A Bondservant?

As I said before in the post on Should You Call Yourself Christian?, I showed how the disciples called themselves bondservants.  So what does that mean? Let's look at what happens when a servant that loves his Master so much that after they have served their time and can be set free, they want to stay.

Exo 21:1-6  "Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever."
Now, what is the duty of the servant?  To obey the Master's commandments. During the bondservant ceremony, the person's ear is pierced through with an aul onto the doorposts. We know that after the ceremony the bondservant has a hole in his ear. In other words, the servant's ear has been opened! What better explanation of this is Psalms 40:6-8. 

<sup>"Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering [olah] and sin offering You did not require. Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my Elohim And Your Torah is within my heart."

The whole burnt offering (olah) was offered by persons in covenant relationship with Adonai (Genesis 8:20-21 and Exodus 24:5-8). The whole burnt offering was a symbolic act demonstrating that the worshipper had offered himself in service and obedience to the commandments of Adonai (Genesis 22:6-8, Judges 11, Psalm 40:6-8 and Romans 12:1-2). It was a voluntary offering.  And we are called to be living sacrifices (Romans 12:1)</sup>

What was the significance of piercing the ear through on the doorpost? Well, what is on the door of every Hebrew man? A mezzuzah. The commandments were to be written on the doorpost.  The bondservant had his ear pierced on doorposts that contained the commandments of Adonai. Therefore, his ear was "opened" to hear and be obedient to the commandments. YHWH is not desiring an animal olah offering but a person who's ear is open to His Commandments.  Someone who is obedient.  We can see that a person can "replace" an olah by becoming a bondservant of Adonai, having his ears opened to live in submission to the commandments of Him. Numerous times throughout the Bible, Israel is referred to as the (bond) servant of Adonai (Isaiah 41 - 66). Israel became the bondservant of Adonai in Exodus 24:1-11 when they said, "Everything that YHVH has said, we will do and we will obey!"
Yeshua took on the form of a bondservant and we are to follow in His footsteps.  Let's see in Phillipians.

Php 2:5-8 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Yeshua: Who, being in the form of Elohim, thought it not robbery to be equal with Elohim: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
Israel is referred to as the (bond)servant of Adonai throughout Isaiah 41 - 66. Actually, that's only partly true. In fact, many of those passages in Isaiah are speaking of the ultimate bondservant, Yeshua. Sometimes when Isaiah mentions the servant, Israel, he has the nation of Israel in mind (e.g., Isaiah 44). However, other times when Isaiah mentions the servant, Israel, he has the Messiah (the ultimate manifestation of all Israel is to be) in mind (e.g., Isaiah 42, 49 and 53)!

What I find sad is right after the Israelites agree to YHWH's commandments, Moses goes up the mountain to receive them, and they make a golden calf.  Aaron builds an altar.  They offered whole burnt offerings(olah) to it.  Aaron then proclaims a feast unto YHWH the following day.  And they did, they sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. Instead of offering themselves as an olah offering to YHWH they offer themselves to this other god, this golden calf.  So, who are you a bondservant to?  He is a jealous Elohim.  Do you serve Him and Him alone?

From a study on Mishpatim

Should You Call Yourself Christian?

I recently heard that the Apostles were first called Christians by pagans in Antioch.  That got me thinking.  So I looked up how many times the word Christian was used.

Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 26:28
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

1 Peter 4:16
Yet if any as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

What is interesting is that this is not what they called themselves or each other.  What did they call themselves?  (Bond)servant.  In fact, that is what Yeshua called anyone that followed Him.  Yeshua told us to have a servant's heart. 

Mat_24:46
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Rom_1:1
Paul, a servant of Yeshua, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of Elohim

Rom_16:1
I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

1Co_7:22
For he that is called in the Adonia, being a servant, is the Adonia's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Yeshua's servant.

Gal_1:10
For do I now persuade men, or Elohim? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Yeshua.

Col_4:12
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Yeshua, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of Elohim.

Tit_1:1

Paul, a servant of Elohim, and an apostle of Yeshua, according to the faith of Elohim's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

Phm_1:25
The grace of our Adonia Yeshuabe with your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.

Heb_3:5
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

Jas_1:1
James, a servant of Elohim and of the Adonia Yeshua, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

2Pe_1:1
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Yeshau, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of Elohim and our Saviour Yeshua:

Jud_1:1
Jude, the servant of Yeshua, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by Elohim the Father, and preserved in Yeshua, and called:

Rev_1:1
The Revelation of Yeshua, which Elohim gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Rev_15:3
And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of Elohim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Adonia ElohimAlmighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Well, to me that says alot.  Just a side note when you look up the word servant in Greek it says bondservant.  Anyway.  I think that I would rather be called a bondservant than a christian.  It was a name given to them by pagans and I wonder if more in a derogatory way than good. When Peter talks about suffering as a christian it was life for being called a bad thing.  He had said that don't suffer as a murderer, thief, evil doer, or busybody of men's matters.  But if you are called a christian suffer in that name calling.  Give Him Glory.  But it was not a label they gave themselves.  Would you want to take on a label from pagans?  Me neither.  So, what is a bondservant?  Good question.  Hopefully, next post.

No Covering

Like I said in a previous post, the Outer Court was where the altar (sacrifice) and the laver (baptism) was located.  But that is as far as Christians go. In Christianity it is believed that you accept Christ as a sacrifice for sins and then you get baptized and you are covered.  But examine the picture below. 

There is no covering over the Outer Court.  There is so much more once you accept what He did for you and are baptized.  It is now accepting His Covenant written on your heart and walking in His Commandments.  That is where the covering is as you can see in the picture.  In Rev. 11:2 "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles".  This is where you have Christians who are true believers and believe they will be saved but they are in name only and not deeds, "having a form of godliness but denies the power."  This outer court is not the place for believers to stay in.  It is open and open to all but that is only the first step in this process. But in the end it is left out because that is not where true worshipers worship YHWH.  The Israelites were saved by Grace, they were redeemed (altar) (outer court), then they were taken through the water (baptized)(outer court) and then they were given Torah then the Holy Spirit at (Pentecost) (the Holy Place), and then when they had finished the tabernacle (now us our bodies being the temple) He tabernacled among them (Feast of Tabernacles) (Holy of Holies).

Pagan Idols Today

                          

What is this?
It is "Father, Mother and Son" -- the Babylonian trinity, Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz.
This is in Charlotte, NC.  It was placed there March 11, 2011.  It is on Roman Catholic Church property in the financial district and is such that this is near a fountain where children play in the summer time. Horrible, isn't it?

Our Walk As A Believer and Priest

Tabernacle itself represents the walk of the believer/priest as we travel from the outer courts. The outer court was the altar (sacrifice for sin) flesh and blood, through sanctification, the laver (baptism) washing, but that is as far as Christians go. From there is a DOOR and inside is the Holy Place. The Inner Cour of flesh and spirit.  That is where the Menorah (Holy Spirit) is and the showbread (Yeshua, 12 Tribes, manna, the Words of Torah that give Life) and the altar of incense which represents now our prayers before going into the Most Holy, Holy of Holies into Spirit and Truth (2nd door) Veil, which is only where the High Priest,Yeshua, can go. In the Holy of Holies was the Ark where the Commandments was placed . It is the Heart of the Tabernacle, the Heart of our Father.  You want a relationship with the Father there is more than just forgiveness of sins and baptism.  The cherubim was on top of the Ark and under the wings of the Cherubim was the Mercy Seat where He dwelt.  Under the shadow of Him is the Ark of the Covenant.  We are called to be Holy. But you have to make your way into the Holy Place. The Israelites were not His people, Priests unto Him, until after they accepted the Torah, His Covenant, His Instructions to be His Bride. That is why when they made the golden calf,  He told Moses go down to thy people which thou brought out of Egypt. They broke the covenant and Hosea explains it well when the Ten Tribes, House of Israel, walked away from Him and He divorced them and they were called not His people. That is why then Paul tells the Gentiles that once they repented and turned back to Him and were keeping Torah that they were now His People. Once afar off and now they are nigh.

Stoning In the Old and In the New

Very interesting thought.  In the Torah when someone sinned a particular sin they were to be stoned.   And in Rev. 16:21 what is one of the punishments coming to man in His wrath? "And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."
I know, I know, kind of out there. But I thought it was interesting.

How Do You Live?

A pastor friend of my husband put up on Facebook that "we have an opportunity to live by what we believe."  But we need to live by YHWH's Truth, by what He said, not what we think is right.

Not My People?

On the Torah portion, Ki Tissa, I came across where YHWH tells Moses go down to the people you brought out of Egypt.  The Israelites had agreed to His Covenant and Moses went up to get the tablets and while Moses was up on the Mountain, they make a golden calf and worshipped another god.  He had told them if you keep my Covenant you will be a Kingdom of Priests, a peculiar treasure to ME.  But now that they broke the Covenant they were the people Moses brought out, not His people.  YHWH redeemed them out of Egypt, so they were saved by Grace.  It was not until that they agreed to His Covenant that they would be His people.  That is why is Hosea 1:1-9 (Prophet to the apostate Ten Tribes) YHWH tells him to go and marry a woman a wife of adultery.  She bares three children Jezreel for He will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu and cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease, then she has Loruhamah for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away, then she has Loammi for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.  But now He is calling His people back to Him (Deut. 30:1-4). We are repenting and turning back to Him and His Covenant. Now He will call us His people. Hos. 1:10,11 "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel."  These are exciting times.

Blessings!!!

 

What is Babylon?

In Revelation 18:4 we are told to "come out of her", Babylon.  The Hebrew word Babel, Babylon means confusion and mixture.  It is the mixing of evil with good, error with truth, darkness with light, death with life. The first example of mixing in the Scriptures,of YHVH’s people mixing pagan practices (i.e., evil) with the truth of Elohim (i.e., good) Exodus 32 the golden calf. Who is the author of such mixture and what are its origins?  (Gen 2:9, 3:1–6.) A good example of mixing error with truth. 

 In the Tanakh, Old Testament, Apostasy is symbolized as Israel the faithless spouse turning away from Yahweh her marriage partner, walking away from His covenant.   Like literal adultery it does include the idea of someone blinded by infatuation.  Love is blind they say.  And of course we were blinded from His Truth because of this adultery. When the Israelites walked away from their Husband and His covenant with Him,  His commandments i.e. now becoming lawlessness, Torahlessness, He caused their Sabbath and Feasts to cease. Apostasy means the same thing in the Brit Hadasha, New Testament.  The falling away from the Truth (2 Thess. 2:3) is the greek word apostasia, defection from the Truth.  But Christianity teaches that falling away means that someone goes back to Torah, we don't have to keep the Old Testament.  They also teach Christmas, Easter, Hallelujah Celebrations.  The VERY things He says not to do, Christianity says, "DO".  He says, "do not worship me the way the nations worship their gods" Deut. 12:30-31.  He says keep my Sabbath and my Feasts. Christianity says "DON'T".  He says they are forever, a perpetual Covenant.  He lays it all out in the Torah. His Instructions for living, for worshiping Him.  Repent.  Seek His face and His Truth.  Time is short.

Not really sure of what to do with this.  But people are definitely seeing the hypocrisy of Christianity. That the foundation is off, but will they seek His Truth??? Will they repent and turn back to Him?To quote a  friend of mine, "I wonder what their testimonies at the end will show?"  Time is short.  Repent and turn back to Him.

Valley of the Shadow of Death by Sandy Bruce

 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You { YHWH יְהוָה } are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." (Psa 23:4)

What does this mean? Was there really such a VALLEY of the SHADOW of DEATH?
... Or is this something to be taken figuratively or as a metaphor, such as representing the trials, tribulations and sorrows of life?

Answer: There really is such a place. So WHERE, was it, or is it?

It is along the road GOING DOWN from Jerusalem towards Jericho, which is located in the Jordan River Valley. It is still there today. It is a steep, winding road, with rocks and a huge cliff on the right side.

Shepherds would walk in the deep valley below, in order to get from one place to another. Thieves and bandits could hide along the top of the hill, by the road, or in crevices along the slopes of the hills. Looking down, they would wait for shepherds to pass through, and attack them and steal their sheep. Here's a picture that might help us get a better idea:
http://www.middle-east-pictures.com/middle-east/Valley-Shadow-Death-the.htm

This is the location of the teaching by Yeshua about the "Good Samaritan" in Luke 10:25-37. "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead { in the shadow of death }. " (Luke 10:30) Understanding that the VALLEY of the SHADOW of DEATH was a real place, a real road -- used often by those going from Jerusalem to Jericho -- gives us a better understanding of what Yeshua was talking about.

Here's a short 5 minute video showing a BUS RIDE in ISrael today, along the Road to Jericho, with the Valley of the Shadow of Death on the right side.

Torah and Spirit Working Together

"We know that when Adonai delivered the Israelites from Egypt that it was a type of our redemption from sin. Moses said stand still and see the salvation (the Hebrew for salvation is Yeshuat from which we get Yeshua) of YHVH (Ex 14:13). Thus, it was Yeshua who
redeemed them at the Red Sea. When the Torah was given, the people had fallen into idolatry by making a golden calf and saying "These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt" (Ex 32:8b). Therefore, were they not rejecting their salvation (Yeshua) which occurred at the Red Sea? What happened when the Torah was given at Sinai? Three thousand people died at the giving of the Torah (the ministry of death, condemnation, the letter that kills, etc.) Note, the 3000 were sinners who had rejected Adonai’s salvation (Yeshua) stating that a calf had saved them. Fast forward to the day of Shavuot. How many people got saved? 3,000. Who were they? Three thousand sinners who, as Peter said, had killed the Messiah, i.e., they had rejected Adonai’s salvation (Yeshua) as their fathers had. But what happened to them? They got saved. These two scenarios are a perfect illustration of the ministry of condemnation at work against sinners when they come to Torah and a perfect illustration of the ministry of life by the Spirit who can bring life to the same sinners the Torah condemns. That’s why the Spirit was given on Shavuot, to teach us that the Torah was not meant to work alone. It’s always been Adonai’s intention for the Torah and the Spirit to work together. But the Spirit couldn't be poured out until the work of the Messiah had been finished."

Ain't That The Truth

"No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means."   George Bernard Shaw

MONUMENTAL In Search of America's National Treasure

Taken from theblaze.com 

"Kirk Cameron sees that something isn’t quite right here in America. The “Growing Pains” actor, who is now a well-known Evangelical speaker and leader, has set out to tackle some tough issues in his new documentary, “Monumental.” In the film, Cameron explores the problems that exist in American society, while delving into ways in which we can recapture the country’s “national treasure” and return to our roots.

“There is something seriously sick in the soul of our country,” Cameron proclaims in the film.   

Synopsis:

What’s wrong with America, and how can we make it right? This is the question Kirk Cameron asks as he retraces the footsteps of our forefathers in the hope of rediscovering America’s true “national treasure.” What made us one of the most exceptional nations the world has ever seen? How did we stray from such a great beginning? Journey with Kirk throughout America and Europe as he explores the foundational doctrines and governing principles on which America was founded. In the end, he realizes that the key to restoring our country is it is not a grand, top-down program that begins in the Oval Office. It begins with our families, around our dinner tables as we seek to renew our nation from the bottom up."

Now, I have not watched the whole movie, I have watched the trailer.  Will I watch it? Maybe. I don't know.  But the problem I have with this movie is the issue we have isn't about America. We are in Egypt. We need to come out of Babylon, from the Hebrew word babel meaning "confusion or mixture." We have to stop looking at the place we are in and keep our eyes to the future of where we are headed, the New Jerusalem.  The issue is about YHWH's  people and His land and their sin of torahlessness.  America will fall.  There is no doubt about it.  I just wish Kirk Cameron's eye would be opened to the fact that the roots we need to go back to starts in Genesis not Matthew.  I have done a little looking into the forefathers of this country and what I found was yes they wanted religious freedom.   But I see it more religous freedeom to have their own thoughts of how they wanted to do things of what they saw as right.  Not religious freedom to serve our Father and keep Torah.  The only Forefathers we need to be looking at is Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  I have nothing against Kirk Cameron or Christians, it is the religion of Christianity.  If it was the answer, we would not be seeing the problems we are seeing.  May we all wake up and have eyes to see and ears to hear.  May our Father forgive us as we repent, and turn back to Torah, the roots of our Faith.
