Preface To The Articles
Sincerity: What A Concept! indeed. Doubtless, many thoughts come to the contemplating mind when a defining introspective is solicited on the subject of sincerity and the impact of it on societal mores and beliefs. After all, it is the basis for many of the thoughts, heart-felt beliefs and (most notably) the actions of men. It is often the driving force behind politics, education, romanticism, religion- almost every aspect of our daily lives. No doubt, there are as many differing definitions and opinions on the topic as there are mouths to utter them.
And yet, sorrowfully, it more often than not has a purely emotional basis– a 'clinging firmly with both hands' to the passed down generational Babliy i.e. westernized-gentile traditions of men, and little or nothing to do with יהוה's set forth truths of righteousness.
A phrase comes to mind:
"The road to hell is paved with good (sincere) intentions."
I am fully able to comprehend the 'worldly desires' that cause inheritors of the Babliy mystery religion to forsake the truths set forth in ha-Towrah, יהוה's last word on any subject; for the base and emergent lusts of their hearts are but a manifestation of the hold with which the Adversary moves his ignoble teachings literally to and fro across the whole earth, wreaking havoc. But the ignorant (by a vice of the failure to seek out all things) and brazen disregard for some of the most basic of יהוה's instructions should be a cause for great consternation among the b'nai [children] of Yahh!
Yet, horrifically, it is not!! An alarmingly large number of the b'nai choose to knowingly (for a small in number few– unknowingly; that is: through lazy unstudied ignorance) and rebelliously cling to the tenets– the 'system' of beliefs– given to them in the paganistic world they supposedly left behind. They continue to hold fast to the 'dear to the heart' teachings, rituals, usury system and even the praises of this Babliy system while firmly entrenched in the erroneous belief that inserting the Name covers a multitude if sins or vices.
There is a racist (mostly white-man, but often from the black-man as well) or, more pointedly, nationalistic (westernized-greco-romanistic) undercurrent within even the ranks of the b'nai יהוה which walks upon extremely dangerous ground. A pathway that teaches that the sincerity of christians is as tov as the Faith of יהוה. A pathway that is often only slightly different in its outward appearance– a yarmulke here, some tsiytsith there, a change of what is still, essentially, some 'party' days, etc,etc. This rip-tide undercurrent borders on, if not directly steps into the "many pathways to the lord" doctrine! A doctrine which teaches that the calling-on of many different god-names and the dedication to many different rites, rituals and 'holy' days, (none of which can be found in haTowrah except in a derogatory tone!) is perfeclty acceptable, if not even laudable due to its sincerity, before the Face of יהוה.
This is a danger on so many levels and begs many questions:
"Why just the sincerity of the sincere xtian?"
(or it's counter-part messie-anity?)
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere wiccans?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere hare krishna worshipers?
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere worshipers of dagown?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere hindu worshipers of vishnu?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere worshipers of mithra?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere shinto worshipers in Japan?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere gaia worshipers?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere humanists of communism?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere humanists of athiesim?"
"Why not the sincerity of the sincere...?
The list is endless!"
So, why indeed? Why is only the sincerity of the sincere follower of christianity and their pantheon of god-heads considered worthy of a 'tag-team' brotherhood? What of these dogmatic and completely doctrinal teachings of the modern kirk which are condemned in haTowrah? Where did this westernized belief in the brotherhood of the Kirk (what is a Kirk?) come from and why do the b'nai of יהוה cling to it so tightly and desperately? What are the answers to these questions?
Hear O Yisra'el will, by the mercies of יהוה, endeavor to scripturally make an answer. Please look for these discourses under this menu tab.
