The Orthodox Jewish Bible was not translated for
Orthodox Jews. If there
were no Orthodox Jews in the world, it would
have
been translated exactly as it was
translated;
because the words are Orthodox Jewish words, every
one
of them. To say it another way: this is not
a cosmetically contrived "con" job
where a nice non-Jewish
document is given a Yiddishkeit "spin" for the
benefit
of the gullible.
Let's stop here and test your Moshiach literacy.Any Orthodox Jew
could have achieved the same translational result
if he or she had taken the trouble over thirty years
time to learn
Yiddish, Hebrew, Aramaic, Hellenistic Synagogue Greek
and other academic disciplines.
The people who print
demonic literature trying to prove that a dead rabbi is the Moshiach have
millions and millions of dollars. They even trumpet their lies on billboards.

$964,834 My salary as President during all those 25 years was $500 a year or a
total compensation for 25 years of labor of $12,500. Does this look like anyone
is trying to get rich off of the
Word of G-d?
Did you know your Yotzer
wants you to have a bria chadasha new birth
from
your yetzer? When Hashem's kedushah is held up to
Man, human righteousness
has been likened to that of
a worm1 in comparison.
However, we know through
entomology (the study of
insects) that a hideous worm-like larva (the
caterpillar) can have a
metamorphosis and be transformed into the beautiful
butterfly which gloriously
takes flight from its former lowly condition.
Moshe Rabbeinu speaks of
such a spiritual transformation as, on the one hand,
the "arlat" (foreskin) of
the heart which is blindly obstinate toward Hashem and,
on the the other hand, the
circumcised heart which is spiritually alive to its Yotser.
(See Devarim 10:16; 30:6
and Yechezkel's midrash, Ezek 36:26.)
For the problem with the
human condition is a heart problem, requiring
remorse for sin and the
wickedness of "such a worm as I" and also requiring a
lev chadash (new heart) and
a bria chadasha (new creation), even a new birth.
What the new birth is
not:
not a change of religious
labels, not a ritual, not a membership in an
organization,
not committing a kind deed
or giving to charity.
What the new birth is:
being born again,
not from perishable zera
(seed; Moshiach is alive: see 1Y 3:9) but
imperishable,
by the Devar Hashem which
liveth and abideth forever.
1Job
25:4-6; Isaiah 41:14

| The Whatever donation you make should be

| Orthodox | that much, and only what you give in excess
