Shabbat Shalom Greetings and Blessings to You, Gail-Friends.
We had a wonderful celebration of Shavuot at the synagogue, with everyone having the blessing of carrying the Torah. I always enjoy seeing people dancing with joy as they parade the scroll around the room. This is the song we dance to (meaning is Torah is Light): Torah Ora
Juan had tears in his eyes as he held the Torah scroll:
During Shavuot, it is a Jewish tradition to read the Torah passages related to the giving of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 19-20). As I read, I reflected on how the Sabbath day has been changed.
When I was nine years old, I questioned my Southern Baptist pastor about why we didn't observe God's commandment about the Sabbath, which is Saturday. He told me it was changed, but I never found anything to back that up in the New Testament. Twenty-two years ago, I decided to obey Yeshua (Jesus) and stopped following preachers, teachers, religions, and denominations that taught me to disobey God. The Bible calls them false prophets.
I found something interesting this week that you may not know. The article is about how the Sabbath was changed by the Catholic Church. I knew the history of this change because I'd researched it for myself over twenty years ago. I highly recommend the book Our Father Abraham - Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith by Marvin R Wilson. Here's the link to the article I read this week: https://amredeemed.com/sunday-deception/vatican-admits-the-change-of-sabbath-was-their-act-not-the-bible/
Something to think about . . .
Here's another video for your Sabbath worship. I love the lyrics that say, "May everyone find Sabbath rest one day". Sabbath Rest by Liberated Wailing Wall
I took a bit of a break from posting this week, but I will resume regular posting after Memorial Day.
