We speak to many Christians who insist that they believe that “ALL” things are possible where Adonai is concerned. So when our conversation turns to Reincarnation of ones Soul, or Ancient Jewish Mystical Teachings such as the Ten Sefirot which we have been discussing, We hear from some Christians that even though they espoused to believing “ALL” things are possible with Adonai. It is there belief that this only applies to how they read and interpret to texts of the Bible from with in the confines of their doctrinal beliefs.
How can one claim to be a Christian and deny what Jesus him self had said in Matthew 11:9-14
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come
Many Christians will attempt to refute this by claiming that Reincarnation of ones Soul is an Eastern Culture concept foreign to Judaism. However this is not true at all. In the days of Jesus, there were 2 distinctly different thought processes’, the Phariseedic process, which included the Pharisee's and the Essense, and various other Jewish sects. Who believed in life after death including Reincarnation of ones Soul, for the greater purpose of perfecting ones spirit with the ultimate goal of reaching the Kingdom of Heaven. The second being, that of the Sadducees which included several of sub sects. The Sadducees did not believe in life after death at all, and thought the definition of life everlasting was to be remembered by others.
It is interesting to note that the way a person becomes a Christian is through and act of ritual Reincarnation of the Soul, i.e., Baptism. Remember the words of Jesus himself, “no man shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven least he be born again”. As Jesus addresses this issue with Nicodemus in John Chapter 3, he answers Nicodemus, with these words.
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
The point Jesus made was how could this man be well versed in Torah and Ancient Jewish Mystical Teachings and not even be able to see or understand that, Jesus was referring to the Reincarnation of the Soul.
The reason for the Title of this series “Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone” is to assist you in seeing that through Paul’s writings some Christian Theologians use his words in a context to fit a doctrinal belief that the Laws of Torah no longer apply. It is our belief that if we replace Nicodemus with Paul in this story Jesus’ question would be the same. How could Paul be a Master of Israel and not understand that Jesus’ taught the Disciples from the Ancient Jewish Mystical Teachings. In addition it is interesting to note, that while Paul was teaching that the Law of Torah no longer applies, he still taught that we should tithe and personally chastised Peter for eating with the Gentiles, both of which are found only in the 613 Mitzvoth. If we taught such things we would be in fear of our Lord saying to us from Matthew 7:23 from Youngs Literial Translation
23 and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
The Lord Bless you and Protect you!
The Lord deal kindly and graciously with you!
The Lord bestow His favor upon you and grant you peace!
