Honest Questions

Please Be Honest With Yourself

Paul

Jun 20, 2025

I’m going to ask a series of questions. I want you to answer honestly and be honest with yourself.

Do you believe this:

Psalms Ch 119:105 (Nun) Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.

Yes or No.

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Psalms Ch 119:118 You reject all who stray from your laws, for what they deceive themselves with is false.

Yes or No.

If the answer is no, why not?

Verse 105 and 118 are in the same Psalms and written by the same man: King David.

Do you believe this:

Proverbs Ch 9:10 The fear of ADONAI is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holy ones is understanding.

Yes or No.

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Proverbs Ch 28:9 If a person will not listen to Torah, even his prayer is an abomination.

Yes or No?

If the answer is no, why not?

Verse 10 and 9 are written by the same man, connected to the same Proverbs.

Do you believe this:

Leviticus Ch 19:1 ADONAI said to Moshe,

2 "Speak to the entire community of Isra'el; tell them, 'You people are to be holy because I, ADONAI your God, am holy.

Yes or No?

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Leviticus Ch 18:5 You are to observe my laws and rulings; if a person does them, he will have life through them; I am ADONAI.

Yes or No?

If the answer is no, why not?

How can you be Holy without observing the Laws and Rulings of G-D? IF G-D commanded the Israelite’s to be Holy, then the gentiles who are grafted in through the Israelite’s are to be Holy as well. There are no different set of rules for the Jew and the Gentile.

Do you believe this:

Mark Ch 12:29 Yeshua answered, "The most important is, `Sh'ma Yisra'el, ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, O Isra'el, the LORD our God, the LORD is one],

30 and you are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding and with all your strength.'

31 The second is this: `You are to love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other mitzvah greater than these."

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Deuteronomy Ch 6:4 "Sh'ma, Yisra'el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, Isra'el! ADONAI our God, ADONAI is one];

5 and you are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources.

and

Leviticus Ch 19:18 Don't take vengeance on or bear a grudge against any of your people; rather, love your neighbor as yourself; I am ADONAI.

Yes or No?

If the answer is no, why not?

YESHUA’s words in Mark Ch 12 were taught from the Books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus (The Torah). If you the answer is yes, then allow me to ask you this:

How can you believe part of the Torah and reject other parts? How can say I believe the part of the Torah commanding us to Love G-D with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and to love our neighbor as yourself, but not the part about how it is forbidden to eat pork?

YESHUA told us the Two Greatest Mitvah’s of all in Mark Ch 12, and the Mitvah’s come directly from the Torah, not outside of the Torah.

Let’s look at the writings of Paul.

Do you believe this:

Ephesians Ch 2:8 For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God's gift.

9 You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore no one should boast.

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Romans Ch 3:31 Does it follow that we abolish Torah by this trusting? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, we confirm Torah.

If the answer is no, why not?
Paul wrote Ephesians and Romans. Paul is clearly uniting Grace and Torah together, which destroys obeying Torah through Legalistic means, which is what Paul was teaching against. You obey G-D’s Holy Laws/Torah through and by the Grace in which we are saved by.

Do you believe this:

James Ch 2:26 Indeed, just as the body without a spirit is dead, so too faith without actions is dead.

If yes, then do you believe this:

James Ch 1:1 From: Ya'akov, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah To: The Twelve Tribes in the Diaspora: Shalom!

This question may confuse you. Let me explain. Look deeply at who James (Ya’akov) is writing to: The Twelve Tribes of Israel in the Diaspora, not the gentiles. Again, let me repeat this: James is not writing to the gentiles, he’s writing to the 12 Tribes of Israel in the Diaspora.

So how can you believe James 2:26 as a gentile even though James was not writing to the gentiles? (Note: this is why the gentiles are grafted in: Ephesians Ch 2, Romans Ch 11). Why do gentiles even read the Book of James? And remember: The 12 Tribes of Israel kept G-D’s Holy Laws/Torah.

Do you believe this:

Malachi Ch 3:6 "But because I, ADONAI, do not change, you sons of Ya'akov will not be destroyed.

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Psalms Ch 119:33 (Heh) Teach me, ADONAI, the way of your laws; keeping them will be its own reward for me.

34 Give me understanding; then I will keep your Torah; I will observe it with all my heart.

If the answer is no, why not?
G-D does not change and neither does HIS Holy Laws/Torah.

If you believe G-D does not change—which HE does not—then how does HIS Holy Laws/Torah change? They do not. Let me repeat that: G-D does not change and neither does HIS Holy Laws/Torah.

Do you believe this:

Exodus Ch 20:1 Then God said all these words:

2 "I am ADONAI your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the abode of slavery.

3 "You are to have no other gods before me.

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Leviticus Ch 24:22 You are to apply the same standard of judgment to the foreigner as to the citizen, because I am ADONAI your God."

If the answer is no, why not? G-D’s Holy Laws/Torah applies the same for the Jew and the gentile. There are not two separate laws, one of the Jew and one for the gentiles. And if G-D ordered that the same standard of judgment be applied to the foreigner as well as the citizen, then why aren’t the gentiles keeping Torah? Whether they refuse to or not, they will be judged by the same Holy Laws/Torah of G-D as the Jews, for the gentiles are grafted in.

Do you believe this:

Galatians Ch 3:29 Also, if you belong to the Messiah, you are seed of Avraham and heirs according to the promise.

and

John Ch 8:39 They answered him, "Our father is Avraham." Yeshua replied, "If you are children of Avraham, then do the things Avraham did!

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Genesis Ch 26:5 All this is because Avraham heeded what I said and did what I told him to do -he followed my mitzvot, my regulations and my teachings."

If the answer is no, why not?

If you are the seed of Abraham through faith in YESHUA MESSIAH, then you are to do the things Abraham did. Abraham obeyed and followed the Mitzvot, Regulations and Teachings of G-D. Remember: His faith was credited to him as Righteousness, and because of that he obeyed.

Now, listen to the Words of Abraham:

Luke Ch 16:29 But Avraham said, `They have Moshe and the Prophets; they should listen to them.'

One last question:

Do you believe this:

Genesis Ch 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

If the answer is yes, then do you believe this:

Revelation Ch 20:11 Next I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.

12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

If the answer is no, why not:

The same G-D (the LIVING G-D of Abraham, Issac and Jacob) who created the Heavens and the earth and all that are in them will judge the dead from what is written in the books according to what they had done.

Pay close attention to this: The dead will be judged for what they had done. What will their actions be judged against if there is no Law? If you walk into a court of law because you are guilty of speeding, how can you be judged if there is no law? The dead will be judged for what they had done.

And so will those who belong to YESHUA MESSIAH:

Hebrews Ch 9:27 Just as human beings have to die once, but after this comes judgment,

and

2 Corinthians Ch 5:10 for we must all appear before the Messiah's court of judgment, where everyone will receive the good or bad consequences of what he did while he was in the body.

Pay close attention: After death comes judgment and the person will receive good or bad for that he or she did in the body. How can a person receive good or bad if there is no Law? What will their actions be judged against?

You might say: Well, I follow the Ten Commandments.

Okay, let’s take a quick look.

The Sixth Commandment is: You shall not murder.

But the Commandment itself does not teach what to do if a person murders or the consequence for murder. Only in the Torah do we learn what to do if a person commits murder and how to deal with the murderer.

Can you understand that vital truth?

All these questions I have asked clearly show that we are to keep and obey G-D’s Holy Laws/Torah. Many people pick and choose what Scriptures they will believe and follow. Many times I see Christians who refuse to obey G-D’s Holy Laws/Torah post Psalms Ch 119:105 without going any further—denying Psalms Ch 119:118. Also, they do not understand that the very ‘Word’ King David is speaking of in Psalms Ch 119:105 is the Holy Laws/Torah of G-D.

Cherry picking the Scriptures in order to support the false teachings of a man-made denomination only leads to Spiritual destruction. Look carefully at the questions I have asked and then ask yourself: How can I believe some and not all? Remember: Our G-D does not change and HE never will. HE is the same yesterday, today and forever and so is HIS Holy Laws/Torah.

I’ll end with this:

Do you believe this:

John Ch 8:26 There are many things I could say about you, and many judgments I could make. However, the One who sent me is true; so I say in the world only what I have heard from him."

If yes, then do you believe this:

Matthew Ch 5:19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

If no, why not?

YESHUA spoke the Words that HE alone heard from G-D—and G-D does not change. Ever.

Be careful how you pick and choose what Scriptures you support while rejecting others. G-D’s HOLY WORD is One, not separate or divided into ages or sections or different teachings for the Jew or Gentile. G-D’s Holy Word from Genesis to Revelation is One and HE alone told us the ending (Revelation) from the Beginning (Genesis).

Isaiah Ch 46:10 At the beginning I announce the end, proclaim in advance things not yet done; and I say that my plan will hold, I will do everything I please to do.

How can G-D pronounce the ending from the beginning if HE changes and HIS Holy Laws/Torah are no longer to be kept? G-D does not change. It is the false teachings of men who try to change G-D’s Holy Word and Who G-D is and you better believe satan is pulling the strings.

Are you willing to be honest with yourself and look at these questions in truth or will you remain behind the false walls of man-made doctrines?

Remember this one important fact: satan tried to deceive YESHUA by misusing the Torah, but YESHUA defeated satan by Properly using the Power of the Torah in Truth. Only G-D’s HOLY SPIRIT can teach you HIS Truth, not man.
