Nonsense!

I would strongly urge you to read the entire chapter of Vayikra 23.

(CLV) Lv 23:1
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

(CLV) Lv 23:2
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you will say to them, The appointed seasons of Yahweh, those which you shall proclaim holy meetings, My appointed seasons, they are these:
Yahwah called them (His) because that is what the people called them.


Isaiah 1

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?”
says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;
I have no pleasure
in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,…

“‘In addition to what you vow and your freewill offerings, offer these to the LORD at your appointed festivals: your burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings and fellowship offerings.’”

Isaiah 1:14
Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.

Hosea 9:5
What will you do on the day of your appointed festivals, on the feast days of the LORD?

Hosea 12:9

Notice how God never declares these as His but as theirs, and not because they were on the wrong day, but because they were kept wrong, in spirit and in truth.

There are a few places where He called them "His," but that is because that is what the people called them.


Sacrifices were good will gestures for fellowship offerings to the Lord; even before they were made a law.

Genesis 4

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.”



Genesis 8

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.



Exodus 13

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

14 “In days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed every firstborn in Egypt, both man and animal. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord (before it became law) the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’

Yes. Who is this group? When I told my congregation that I did this; one asked me if the police showed up. I'd like to talk to more people who put what Yahweh says, over the tradition of men.
It was too long ago. I can't remember, but they were in Georgia or Alabama.

(CLV) Mt 5:18
For verily, I am saying to you, Till heaven and earth should be passing by, one iota or one serif may by no means be passing by from THE law till all should be occurring.

(CLV) Lk 16:17
Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass by than for one serif of THE law to fall.



(CLV) Mt 22:2
"Likened was the kingdom of the heavens to a man, a king, who makes wedding festivities for his son.
(CLV) Mt 22:3
And he dispatches his slaves to call those invited to the wedding festivities, and they would not come.
(CLV) Mt 22:4
Again he dispatches other slaves, saying, `Say to those invited, "Lo! my luncheon have I made ready, my bulls and grain-fed animals have been sacrificed, and all is ready: Hither for the wedding festivities!"'

(CLV) Mt 8:11
Now I am saying to you that many from the east and the west shall be arriving and reclining with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens,

(CLV) Lk 14:15
Now -hearing these things, someone of those lying back at table with Him, said to Him, "Happy is he who will be eating bread in the kingdom of God!"

(CLV) Mt 26:29
Now I am saying to you that under no circumstances may I be drinking henceforth of this, the product of the grapevine, till that day whenever I may be drinking it new with you in the kingdom of My Father."
None of these verses address animal sacrifices AFTER death is destroyed.

Nonsense.

YHWH doesn't lie.

Isaiah 1

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?”

I specifically referred to Yahweh's Moedim and you retort with a verse about sacrifices?

Is a red herring the best counterargument you have against YHWH's clear commands?

I would strongly urge you to read the entire chapter of Vayikra 23.

(CLV) Lv 23:1

My Festivals

New International Version (NIV)


Exodus 23:18
“Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast. “The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.

Leviticus 23:2
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.

Leviticus 23:4
The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread “‘These are the LORD’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times:

2 Chronicles 2:4
Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the LORD my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals of the LORD our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.

Ezekiel 44:24
“‘In any dispute, the priests are to serve as judges and decide it according to my ordinances. They are to keep my laws and my decrees for all my appointed festivals, and they are to keep my Sabbaths holy.

The rest of the time He calls them "your." The people established those things, not Yahwah. They were the customs of the people before they were made law. Yahwah did command a Seventh Day Sabbath in the beginning.

How do you figure that, since without God requiring them, they would not exist.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.

The rest of the time He calls them "your."

The Moedim are YHWH's appointed times with his people.

When a doctor sets an appointment with with you, to meet with him; is it your appointment, or his appointment?

Have you ever heard of a false dichotomy?


he people established those things, not Yahwah. They were the customs of the people before they were made law.

I'd like to just go ahead and just take your word for that; but I think that it would be much wiser to wait and see you present YHWH's word on that. Eternal consequences are still eternal. I anxiously await your proof.

I see that I am repeating myself. You need to pay closer attention.

I've been thinking about saying the same to you. I decided instead to continue patiently working on new ways to lead you to comprehension.

Not correct. They were customs created by man as good will gestures. God has no need for such things. Please read carefully the following verses.

Isaiah 1
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?”
says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;
I have no pleasure
in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,…



Jeremiah 7
21 This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves, 22 for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice. 23 However, I did give them this command: Obey Me, and then I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must follow every way I command you so that it may go well with you. 24 Yet they didn’t listen or pay attention but followed their own advice and according to their own stubborn, evil heart. They went backward and not forward. 25 Since the day your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent all My servants the prophets to you time and time again. 26 However, they wouldn’t listen to Me or pay attention, but became obstinate; they did more evil than their ancestors.


God only instructed Moses on how they were to be preformed.

See how often (daily) the ecclesia in the NT lived IN UNION WITH JESUS, Echad with Him as He is Echad with the Father....
Few people EVER read this in the NT.

That is because the congregation got away from
discipling and started teaching.

That is not a parable, but a simple fact.
Yahweh will destroy the wicked in the lake of fire,
body and soul.
I checked on the original text and it reads (Gehenna) in Matthew 10:28.

Gehenna: Mentioned twelve or thirteen times in the bible. Gehenna: Referring to the Valley of Hinnom, or Gehenna which is the city dump outside the walls of Jerusalem.

According to Archaeologist, there is no evidence to support that Gehenna was a place for burning garbage. There were however lots of Potsherds found.


Jeremiah 19:2
and go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. There proclaim the words I tell you,


Jeremiah 19:11
and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I will smash this nation and this city just as this potter’s jar is smashed and cannot be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.

Words can have more than one meaning. A bat can be a stick you hit a ball with or a flying mammal. Gehinnom, in addition to being a garbage dump, is also a place of temporary punishment for sin.

Jews pray for the relief of the soul while in Gehinnom (one year). Judaism has no concept of an eternal hell. This idea came with Christianity. In Judaism, the soul that is so bad that it couldn't be salvaged is annihilated. Or at least that it is how it is with most scholars -- you know how it is; two Jews, three opinions.
