Joe Paterno Was Punished Enough By Having To Suffer Death...

Westboro Baptist Church does not need to add to what Joe Paterno suffered for his crimes of accomplice. Joe Paterno suffered enough on this Earth, and only G-d knows what Joe Paterno is suffering on the other side. Westboro, like everyone else, should accept that Joe Paterno had and has been no more and no less punished than he needed and needs to be.

Who's Worse: The Sinner or the Enabler Thereof (And Also A Sinner)?

Having gone through abuse (though never sexual abuse), I have to wonder who's worse between the to-be-late (and justly punished) JoePa or the short-term escaper Jerry Sandusky (who got off in this life only because of "Coker" (1977), "Kennedy" (2008), and JoePa and other child-molester enablers). JoePa is the enabler of the short-term escaper Jerry Sandusky, and Jerry Sandusky is clearly the sinner who is (or rather, was) enabled. Compared to my dad's and grandparents' enablers regarding me, JoePa is the sexual-abuse equivalent regarding the Jerry Sandusky victims.

Meanwhile, a Biblical equivalent of my dad's enablers (including my dad's mother in law) and of Joe Paterno includes the Corinthian community of Messianic Jews who allowed a young Jewish Corinthian to sleep with his stepmother:

 ¹ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named^[a] among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! ² And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. ³ For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. ⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.^[b]
6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ⁷ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.^[c] 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Was Paul allowed to let the enablers get away with what they were doing? Absolutely not:

   
⁹ I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰ Yet I certainly didnot mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. 
¹² For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? ¹³ But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”^[d]

Were Paterno correctly handled in the American legal system, he would've been just as my dad's enablers legally should be and the Jewish Corinthians Biblically were: accomplices. Paterno can be thankful that he escaped justice in the short term, however, because he wasn't prosecuted legally. Being prosecuted Biblically is enough for him.


As I said, meanwhile, I have to wonder who is worse: the sexually and otherwise immoral, such as Jerry Sandusky; or the "puffed up" such as Joe Paterno. To sin is one thing; to knowingly enable and even encourage sin is another.

Only For the Sake of Sandusky's and JoePa's Victims Do I Think That...

Joe Paterno is getting what he deserves. "Coker" (1977) and "Kennedy" (2008) allowed Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno not to die in the electric chair or by lethal injection when the Penn State Scandal eve started going on. At least Joe Paterno is dying surrounded by family and friends, with one last chance to confess and repent as well as inform on whatever he needs to inform on regarding Sandusky-- including what he's still held back.

As for Jerry Sandusky's and Joe Paterno's then-child, now-adult victims; they don't get any chance at anything-- their lives are indefinitely ruined. In fact, you would know that at least two of  Sandusky's and JoePa's victims faced backlash and otherwise the opposite of support if you paid attention to the news. As Joe Paterno gets his Lat Rites, by the way, may he learn what these very words mean:

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8 NKJV

JoePa and Jerry Sandusky reaped death and destruction for those then-child, now-adult victims (among whom is one young adult who was one of the two aforementioned victims of backlash). JoePa is now facing death, and who knows with Jerry Sandusky?

So the Orientation Went Well, But...

That doesn't mean that there weren't some incidents. I could kvetch about how the orientation went, but a few key incidents and notes:

1. The prayers worked, and thanks for the prayers.
2. I'm skipping "The O'Reilly Factor" at 8:00 to watch the rerun at 11:00 because I still have other things to do at home-- for example, listen to the daily WABC "Geraldo" broadcast (or in my case, podcast).
3. Michelle and I each got a free cup of coffee. Long story short, we were each charged for a full meal at True Grit's. When I saw the $21.00 total charge, I honestly thought that the receipt was someone else's receipt. So, Michelle took it back to the counter, got the policy explained to her, and had them give her the coffee free (which they did on their own initiative because they understood that we didn't know the policy).
4. One blog entry that I wrote is in handwriting, and I'll scan it in later.

One Can't Blog About Everything; And I Try To Blog Every Day, So...

I'll try my best just to get a few sentences in. First, I agree with Geraldo Rivera that Paula Deen was entirely disingenuous. Second, the case of the Costa Concordia proves why Europe (including Italy) needs to bring back the death penalty. Third, I'm against SOPA and PIPA, and for the Fair Use Doctrine. Fourth (and in conclusion), I'm really busy because I have an orientation at UMBC tomorrow; and I'll be at UMBC virtually all day, and I'm stressed out about the orientation-- including the idea of having to be there all day, since I can't drive.

Anyway, there's my at-least-once-daily blogging entry. Just pray for me and for the orientation (and preferably the Rapture, especially in this meshuga 'olam), v'l'laila tov.

Why I've Suffered So Much: At Least Partly Because of That Kapo Mary Rusnak Gaydos

I don't exactly remember who Jack Feldman is descended from, by the way; but I begin to suspect more and more that his Chron's-- besides his trief eating-- comes from his Fosko-Rusnak matriarch being a kapo as well. My side (the Fosko-Rusnak-Gaydos side) has been visited for certain:

Numbers 14:18
‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’


I mean, I don't think that we can any more into entering the abyss zone than having four of the five Rusnak-Gaydos children (Grandaunt Mary Ann and Grandma included) being absolutely wicked (The only one who would not be wicked by doing or enabling any wickedness was Grandaunt Helen, who I didn't know was habat tzedekah until after she was gone.), having even some of habnei v'banot shel habat tzedekah take after the bnei-v'banot ra'im (Ashley and Matt, I'll name you as two of them. Shame on you for not acknowledging our Yiddishkeit and Eloheinu v'Elohim Avinu.), and having some of us bnei v'banot suffer abuse which we have not (or at least tried not to have) perpetuated the cycle of.


While I'm on the subject of Matt, by the way, why does he have Spina Bifida? And why do I have Cerebral Palsy? And why does Jack have Chron's (if his Fosko-Rusnak matriarch was indeed also a wicked kapo)?


Deuteronomy 7:13
And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of yourcattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you.


Let me give you a hint: Great-Grandma Gaydos and her zerim sure haven't been blessed:

Leviticus 21:17-24

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁷ “Speak to Aaron, saying: ‘No man of your descendants in succeeding generations, who has anydefect, may approach to offer the bread of his God. ¹⁸ For any man who has a defect shall not approach: a man blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, ¹⁹ a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, ²⁰ or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch. ²¹ No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to the LORD. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. ²² He may eat the bread of his God, both the most holy and the holy; ²³ only he shall not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profane My sanctuaries; for I the LORD sanctify them.’”
²⁴ And Moses told it to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.


Hint two: 


While we may not be koheinim, let me ask you this: if being one "who has a defect" (including one that results in the said one being "blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, or is a hunchback or a dwarf") is even a (for a lack of a better term) just-because curse to zerim shel Aharon; how likely would you think that any one of those defects could be inflicted even on non koheinim who are or whose predecessors were kapos?


Numbers 14:18
‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’


As I said, by the way, being crippled and being sickened (with me, Matt, and Jack-- if his Fosko-Rusnak matriarch was indeed also a wicked kapo-- included) aren't the only curses which the zerim of the kapo Fosko Rusnaks-- especially those of Mary Rusnak Gaydos-- have had to endure.

So Far, What Seemed Like a Miracle Is a Shattered Dream....

I'm not going to get into what the miracle is, especially if it turns out to be a shattered dream; since (even though I'm a Jewish Christian) I don't want to (for a lack of a better term) jinx any chances of my so-far-shattered dream being what I had thought (or hoped) that it was going to be. To make a long story short; I don't presently have all that I need to fulfill the dream, and I could possibly be being presented with a possibly-false-choice scenario wherein fulfilling my dream and going to college for at least this semester is regarded.

I'm not asking for money. I'm asking for prayer, prayer that (as the Bible says) G-d will provide; though I am much less than many who have been provided for and are being (and/or will be) provided for. I'm not Avraham or Moshe, or so many others who have been provided for. I'm not the starving child in Africa or the sexual-abuse victim (who, in many cases, is-- in a sense-- luckier than I am because he or she suffers so much more here, and gets more sympathy from both Heaven and Earth-- and more reward in Heaven because of his or her suffering. As I've blogged about before, I can't even get sympathy or empathy for what little I've been through in comparison-- in fact, I usually get the opposite. That is, I get the opposite of sympathy and empathy.).

As I said, I'm asking for just prayer, prayer that (as the Bible says) G-d will provide; though I am much less than everyone from Avraham and Moshe, to the starving child in Africa and the sexual-abuse victim. Besides, the fulfillment of my dream may help that I am exalted above those who have abused and hated me, and who even abuse (including ignore) and hate me still.

So I Read A Friend From A Letter, And...

Just pray for me and pray for the friend. To make a long story short, because of my OCD/Anxiety/Depression/unmedicated-mild ADD, possible Aspbeger's, Diplegic Spastia Cerebral Palsy, and "friends" and family either abandoning or even outright abusing me at various points in my life; I realistically have ups and downs, trust issues, etc.. I'm not going to trust everybody (Don't ask; I've already learned not to trust everybody, long story short. There's wisdom in wariness.) and I'm not going to stop speaking the truth (or at least trying to speak the truth) on my family and other people, and religion and other matters.

But from now on, if you abandon or even abuse me, I won't get too mad about it; I'll just let whatever you do against me be your own damned problem. I'll let that I'm so used to being abandoned and abused help me to not even be phased or surprised anymore by any abandonment and abuse that I receive. And as I've told some people; when you need me, I might not be there for you because I might not be able to be-- and then what are you going to do?

I See That Some People Read My Open Letter And...

Removed me on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Good! I don't need you, anyway. As I wrote:


 I define Facebook as "Face"book-- meaning that I'm not hiding my face or anything else from you. If I have something not to hide, I don't hide it. I didn't ask you to agree with me on everything, but as I've said, I can back up what I say. If you want to agree to disagree and even not debate, you can choose to keep any reservations to yourself. 


I also stated, "I will always back up what I say." That you can't back up your disagreements with me is a shame. You're the kind (at least some of you are the kind) who "have affected me to state, 'At points, if I weren't a Christian, I wouldn't be a Christian.'" You don't know how to agree to disagree and still maintain love and friendships-- and you even have the hutzpah to go behind my back to my mom and my sister. What a shame! 

The Free Book Finally Came-- This Is Not An Advertisement

I finally got the free book to give away. As I said, "The book is not intended to be returned; so as I said, give

the book to a loved one or loved one's loved one, or an acquaintance or whoever else is Jewish and is curious

about Yeshua if you don't intended to keep it. The book is not meant for gentiles-- they can go to church, or to

the public library, or to more gentile-demographic places to find books about Yeshua for gentiles."



Chosen People Ministries really does prefer that the book is read by Jewish people; though they do state, "We

are expecting, by God's grace, to send out thousands [of copies of Isaiah 53 Explained] to Jews and non-Jews

who need to know the Lord." Just send me your address, and I'll get the book to you or have Chosen People

Ministries send you a copy. 

E. Michael Jones Has Ulterior Motives and No Authority To Speak on Modern Judaism or Catholicism

Besides, E. Michael Jones Wikipedia all the fodder that they needed. Firstly, E. Michael Jones is an Anti Semite ad has no authority to speak on Modern Judaism, covering his Anti Semitism with the following:


"Jones has stated publicly that he considers modern Judaism to be a wicked ideology, but that he condemns criticism of Jews based upon race.^[3] In February, 2008, due to a complaint of anti-Semitism from the Southern Poverty Law Center, the School of Architecture at The Catholic University of America cancelled a lecture series in which Jones was scheduled to speak. In an interview with The Washington Times Jones said that he rejected racism in all of its forms, consistent with Catholic teaching^[2] and responded to the cancellation in an article in Culture Wars.^[4]"

While Modern Non-Messianic Judaism is-- unintentionally and intentionally-- indeed wicked, E. Michael Jones

is not a Jew and thus his little to no authority to speak on the issue of Judaism. Whatever authority he did have,

he dashed along with his credibility by coming from a Non-Evangelical Catholic angle. As I have blogged,

Non-Evangelical Catholicism (Roman, Byzantine, and otherwise) is Pseudo-Christian, Anti-Semitic

wickedness.  

Myself being born into an Anusi (Roman and Byzantine Catholic) and Roman Catholic family, baptized

Anusit and Roman Catholic (since  my dad was English Catholic-- Episcopalian-- and is still not open about

his Jewish heritage; and my mom had my sister and me baptized by a Roman Catholic priest who was a

friend of her late Evangelical Catholic, getting-ready-to-leave-Catholicism-when-he-died dad), and raised

Anusit and Episcopalian (and not knowing that I'm Jewish until I was 18); I have more authority to speak on

the issue of both than does E. Michael Jones. As far as I know, Ex-Professor Jones has never pointed to

'Amos 5:21-27 to prove how Modern Non-Messianic Jews both inadvertently and deliberately worship

Sikkut v'Kiyun.

In fact, given how little Catholic are encouraged to read the Bible, especially the first three books of Tanakh
(and the fourth, Hadashah, being so muddied up by Non-Evangelical Catholicism over the years to do

awful works against Yeshua and Paul's own people); E. Michael Jones probably couldn't tell you where

'Amos is located in Tanakh-- whether in the traditional Jewish (including Messianic Jewish) or the traditional

Christian order.

Also, if E. Michael Jones really knew Catholicism for what Catholicism is, he wouldn't have had the

following views on it:

"Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University and began to teach at Saint Mary's College, of Notre Dame, Indiana. To Jones' displeasure, he found this college to be what he considered to be (in the words of Michael W. Cuneo who interviewed him) "the antithesis of what a Catholic college should be", being pro-choice, feminist and secular. He made little effort to conceal his views, leading to conflicts with many faculty, his department chairwoman and eventually the college's president. His department, which viewed him as a religious absolutist, decided against renewing his contract after his first year.<sup>[1]"


Jones needs to wake up and smell Catholicism for what it is. He obviously didn't learn from St. Mary's or

Catholic University of America. Perhaps he'd like to go to then-College, now-University of Notre Dame

Maryland and look over the whole history of Catholicism and how Evangelical Catholicism (and Evangelical

Catholics such as Jan Hus, John Wycliffe, Teresa De Avila, Edith Stein, and Abraham Sh'mu'eloff) were all

treated (the first two victims of being murdered for "heresy", the third having her Jewishness and the fact that

her family was victim to the Catholic-started Inquisition almost even ignored by the Catholic Church, Edith

Stein being murdered by self-proclaimed "Christian" Catholic and Lutheran Nazis-- and the Catholic Church

doing nothing to save Edith Stein, one of their own--, and Sh'mu'eloff having his Jewishness ignored by the

Catholic Church when Sh'mu'eloff was a Roman, English, and Byzantine Catholic throughout his lifetime.

Only Evangelical-- including Jewish-- Catholic and other Evangelical, and other sources bring up that

Sh'mu'eloff was even proud of his Jewish heritage and rebuked that many Sabra'im and 'olim would not

speak Lashon Ivrit).</sup>

Anti Semites and Anti Missionaries Poisoning the Spiritual Well: "Jews Don't Believe In Jesus"

First, the following verse means only that salvation is not a Jews-only thing. Whichever Anti Semite first used this verse to deny Jews our ethnicity and our heritage owes us an apology:


"[T]here is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with the Messiah Yeshua, you are all one."

That verse simply means that everyone gets equal treatment in terms of that we are not better or worse than each other. All Jews, gentiles, slaves, free persons, men, women, and other persons in the Messiah Yeshua are sinners and have been redeemed by Yeshua the Messiah. Secondly:

"8 These are the names of Isra'el's children who came into Egypt, Ya'akov and his sons: Re'uven Ya'akov's firstborn; 9 and the sons of Re'uven - Hanokh, Pallu, Hetzron and Karmi. 10 The sons of Shim'on: Y'mu'el, Yamin, Ohad, Yakhin, Tzochar and Sha'ul the son of a Kena'ani woman. 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, K'hat and M'rari.12 The sons of Y'hudah: 'Er, Onan, Shelah, Peretz and Zerach; but 'Er and Onan died in the land of Kena'an. The sons of Peretz were Hetzron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Yissakhar: Tola, Puvah, Yov and Shimron. 14 The sons of Z'vulun: Sered, Elon and Yachle'el. 15 These were the children of Le'ah whom she bore to Ya'akov in Paddan-Aram, with his daughter Dinah. In sum, his sons and daughters numbered thirty-three. 16 The sons of Gad: Tzifyon, Haggi, Shuni, Etzbon, 'Eri, Arodi and Ar'eli. 17 The children of Asher: Yimnah, Yishvah, Yishvi, B'ri'ah, and their sister Serach. The sons of B'ri'ah were Hever and Malki'el. 18 These were the children of Zilpah, whom Lavan gave to Le'ah his daughter; she bore them to Ya'akov - sixteen people. 19 The sons of Rachel Ya'akov's wife: Yosef and Binyamin. 20 To Yosef in the land of Egypt were born M'nasheh and Efrayim, whom Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore to him. 21 The sons of Binyamin: Bela, Bekher, Ashbel, Gera, Na'aman, Echi, Rosh, Mupim, Hupim and Ard." 

Let's break this down for some of you: "Sha'ul the son of a Kena'ani woman", an eighth Patrilineally Jewish. Same with " 'Er, Onan, Shelah, Peretz and Zerach"; and "M'nasheh and Efrayim, whom Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore to him". Later, M'nashe takes a Aramit concubine:

The descendants of M'nasheh: his concubine the woman from Aram bore Makhir the father of Gil'ad; Asri'el [Gil'ad's son] was descended from her. 15 Makhir's wife was from the families of Hupim and Shupim, and his sister's name was Ma'akhah. M'nasheh's second son was Tz'lof'chad, and Tz'lof'chad had daughters. 16 Ma'akhah the wife of Makhir bore a son whom she named Peresh, the name of his brother was Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rekem. 17The son of Ulam was B'dan. These were the descendants of Gil'ad the son of Makhir the son of M'nasheh. 

Makhir was a 1/16th Patrilineally Jewish.

To conclude, you Anti Semites and Anti Missionaries need to grow up and quit trying to deny especially Messianic Jews our Jewish heritage.

One Follower on Twitter and Three Subscribers on YouTube Lost?

Ho hum. But as I said, "I guess that some Non-Messianic Jews who supposedly worship G-d, whether or not they intended to actually worship Sikkut and Kiyun, really read and considered 'Amos 5:21-27 carefully". So some people care about truth, even if some (as four people on YouTube and Twitter) don't. Even if I lost every single one of my friends in speaking the truth or raising a point about it, I'd rather have the truth than all the friends in the world-- let alone the world itself.

I Really Thought That I'd Actually Get More Heat For Asking the Sikkut and Kiyun Question...

I'm surprised that I haven't. I guess that some Non-Messianic Jews who supposedly worship G-d, whether or not they intended to actually worship Sikkut and Kiyun, really read and considered 'Amos 5:21-27 carefully:


21 "I hate, I utterly loathe your festivals; I take no pleasure in your solemn assemblies. 22 If you offer me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; nor will I consider the peace offerings of your stall-fed cattle. 23 Spare me the noise of your songs! I don't want to hear the strumming of your lutes! 24 Instead, let justice well up like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. 25 Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings in the desert forty years, house of Isra'el? 26 No, but now you will bear Sikkut as your king and Kiyun, your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves; 27 as I exile you beyond Dammesek," says Adonai ELOHEI-Tzva'ot - that is his name.

Here are the videos which I made on that very subject:

1. Are Non-Messianic Jews Worshipping Kiyun and Sikut Instead of G-d?
2. Re the Video About Who Non-Messianic Jews Worship: Questions Had To Be Asked
3. Can Non-Messianic Jews Even Worship G-d? The Answer Is "No!"
4. Why Only the Historical Jesus of Nazareth is the Biblical Messiah 

Re the Video About Who Non-Messianic Jews Worship: Questions Had To Be Asked

My last blog entry, in association with my second-to-most-recent video, featured Amos 5:21-27, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, and Acts 5:29-40. The very idea that Non-Messianic Jews may be unintentionally or even intentionally worshiping Sikkut and Kiyun is not a joke or Anti-Semitic idea. Even Isaiah 29:13-14 reads:


13 Then Adonai said: "Because these people approach me with empty words, and the honor they bestow on me is mere lip-service; while in fact they have distanced their hearts from me, and their 'fear of me' is just a mitzvah of human origin 14 therefore, I will have to keep shocking these people with astounding and amazing things, until the 'wisdom' of their 'wise ones' vanishes, and the 'discernment' of their 'discerning ones' is hidden away."


As for the verses that I mentioned:

Galatians 1:10-11

10 Now does that sound as if I were trying to win human approval? No! I want God's approval! Or that I'm trying to cater to people? If I were still doing that, I would not be a servant of the Messiah.11 Furthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product;

Galatians 2:4

4 Indeed, the question came up only because some men who pretended to be brothers had been sneaked in - they came in surreptitiously to spy out the freedom we have in the Messiah Yeshua, so that they might enslave us.

 

Galatians 5:10-11

10 I am confident that since you are united with the Lord, you will take no other view; and I am confident that the one who has been disturbing you, whoever he may be, will have to bear his punishment. 11 And as for me, brothers, if I am still preaching that circumcision is necessary, why am I still being persecuted? If that were the case, my preaching about the execution-stake would cause no offense whatever.

Believe me, by the way, when I say that Anti- and Counter-Missionaries try to come in pretending to be believers all the time. Some are even in the "Hebrew Roots" and similar movements.

Are Non-Messianic Jews Worshipping Kiyun and Sikut Instead of G-d?

• "21 "I hate, I utterly loathe your festivals; I take no pleasure in your solemn assemblies. 22 If you offer me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; nor will I consider the peace offerings of your stall-fed cattle. 23 Spare me the noise of your songs! I don't want to hear the strumming of your lutes! 24 Instead, let justice well up like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. 25 Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings in the desert forty years, house of Isra'el? 26 No, but now you will bear Sikkut as your king and Kiyun, your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves; 27 as I exile you beyond Dammesek," says Adonai ELOHEI-Tzva'ot - that is his name."

• 15 "ADONAI will raise up for you a prophet like me from among yourselves, from your own kinsmen. You are to pay attention to him, 16 just as when you were assembled at Horev and requested ADONAI your God, 'Don't let me hear the voice of ADONAI my God any more, or let me see this great fire ever again; if I do, I will die!' 17 On that occasion ADONAI said to me, 'They are right in what they are saying. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I order him. 19 Whoever doesn't listen to my words, which he will speak in my name, will have to account for himself to me.
• 29 Kefa and the other emissaries answered, "We must obey God, not men. 30The God of our fathersl raised up Yeshua, whereas you men killed him by having him hanged on a stake. m 31 God has exalted this man at his right handn as Ruler and Savior, in order to enable Isra'el to do t'shuvah and have her sins forgiven. 32 We are witnesses to these things; so is the Ruach HaKodesh, whom God has given to those who obey him." 33 On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were infuriated and wanted to put the emissaries to death. 34 But one of the members of the Sanhedrin rose to his feet, a Parush named Gamli'el, a teacher of the Torah highly respected by all the people. He ordered the men put outside for a little while 35 and then addressed the court: "Men of Isra'el, take care what you do to these people. 36 Some time ago, there was a rebellion under Todah, who claimed to be somebody special; and a number of men, maybe four hundred, rallied behind him. But upon his being put to death, his whole following was broken up and came to nothing. 37 After this, Y'hudah HaG'lili led another uprising, back at the time of the enrollment for the Roman tax; and he got some people to defect to him. But he was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 So in the present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these people, but to leave them alone. For if this idea or this movement has a human origin, it will collapse. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them; you might even find yourselves fighting God!" They heeded his advice. 40 After summoning the emissaries and flogging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go.

Scary, isn't it?
