The Sabbath Myth Series | The Myth of the "Morning & Evening Service” | Breaking the Heavy Yoke | The Unscriptural Burden of the "All-Day" Sabbath Service

Image
Every Sabbath morning, thousands of Messianic and Non-Messianic Hebrews wake up, put on their finest clothes, pack heavy bags of food, and prepare themselves for an exhausting, multi-stage marathon: the All-Day Worship Service. It starts with a Sabbath morning service of prayers and Torah readings, transitions into a main lesson, breaks briefly for a rushed lunch, and then goes straight into an afternoon Sabbath Service, and sometimes, choir rehearsals, and committee meetings. By the time sunset arrives and the Sabbath closes, families stumble into their homes bone-tired, mentally depleted, and utterly exhausted. Leaders proudly parade these marathon schedules as a badge of superior holiness. They declare: "We spent the entire day in the house of Elohim (GOD)!” But their main goal is to police the people on the Shabbat. This is a total illusion. In a previous lesson, The Sabbath Myth Series | The Historical Graft | Where Modern Worship Orders Actually Originated, we exposed how mo...

Old-Fashioned Southern Vegan Biscuits

This recipe delivers an authentic, old-fashioned Southern biscuit that is completely plant-based. By utilizing a quick lamination technique (folding the dough) and frozen, grated plant butter, it achieves the iconic shatteringly crisp exterior, golden bottom, and pillowy, flaky layers traditional to classic soul food.

The Sabbath Myth Series | Proclaiming the Truth | Teaching on the Sabbath is Commandment, Not Servile Work

Image
In a recent conversation, someone said: “teaching on the Sabbath day is work.” To confuse the proclamation of Elohim's Word with forbidden labor is to completely misunderstand the Sabbath day. The claim that reading, teaching, or studying the Word of the Most High constitutes forbidden "work" ignores the direct command of the Torah itself. The Etymology of "Holy Convocation" In Leviticus 23:3, the Scriptures establish the law of the Sabbath: "Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation ; you shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of YAH in all your dwellings." The phrase translated as "holy convocation" in Hebrew is מִקְרָא - קֹדֶשׁ ( mikra kodesh ) : קֹדֶשׁ ( kodesh ) : Set apart, holy, sacred. מִקְרָא ( mikra ) : Derived from the root קָרָא ( qara ) , which explicitly means to call out, to proclaim, to read aloud, to assemble, or to recite . A mikra is not a state of idle silenc...
