Has Honoring Yahweh been done way with? I will explain that, later. First of all, the word Honor in Strong’s Bible Concordance, means to Glorify, Respect. I would say, and Christians would agree that we should Honor, and Glorify Yahweh by our life style. . “Honesty is the best policy.” Yes, honesty is a very good way to Honor Yahweh. Maybe you have heard some one say about a person you know. He or she is a very honest person and a Christian. Yahweh chided people for using faulty scales and tax collectors for taking more than they should.
Being a moral person around the opposite sex will Honor Yahweh. It’s the same story when people know you are a Christian. If you are out on a date, it should be to a place where people are. When you are alone, the temptation to do something immoral can be too overwhelming to stop. Heavy making out, may lead to fornication.
If you work in an office, you have men and women in very close contact all day long. There are many jobs that workers interact with the opposite sex. If a person is married, the temptation for engaging in immoral situations, is just as great as a single person. Some say even more, if the spouse is not very interested in love making or the wife is pregnant.
To give in to these sex sins is to dishonor Yahweh, as some of the high profile ministers have done. Many ministers preach that drinking alcoholic beverages is a sin. Drinking is not a sin but getting drunk is. Eating food is not a sin but gluttony is. Looking with your eyes is not a sin but looking at pornography is. Breathing isn’t a sin, but taking smoke into your Lungs, that harms your body is. Taking medication for your health Is not a sin, but medicating yourself into an addict is. Talking isn’t a sin, but gossiping, slander, lies, and all this dishonors our Heavenly Father.
Has Honoring Yahweh been done away with? I told you that I would explain later, it is now later. In my 77 years, or at least 70 or so of those years I have heard ministers preach that we must accept Yahshua as our personal savior or we will burn in hell for all eternity. They have preached on stories of the Bible and those two were generally the context of the sermons.
I didn’t as a rule, hear sermons about obeying Yahweh. That’s because the Christian churches: with no Bible authority have done away with the 10 Commandments. If there is nothing to obey, then there is nothing to preach on obeying. They say we should keep the Commandments in the Spirit of the Law.
My friends, think about this. The Bible is for all humanity that started with Adam and Eve. Then all should keep the Commandments in the spirit and the flesh. Tell me if you know, how do you explain to billions of non Christians that there is no law against killing, stealing, adultery, lying, and you can just keep the spirit of the law. If you are a Christian, you are living the 10 Command - ments. Can you imagine the anarchy, mayhem if the Law Is done away with ? Israel had 613 laws and ordinances in the Old Testament, known as Moses' law. These are the laws that were nailed to the cross, (Col 2:14) Not the 10 Commandments.
To honor Yahweh is to obey what He says in the Bible. You should not obey non Biblical doctrines that ministers were taught in a liberal seminary, and there are many of those. Most Christians believe their ministers are correct when they tell them that the Commandments are done away with. They haven’t been done away, and neither has the 7th day Sabbath been done away with.
If you turn away from doing your pleasure on Yahweh's Holy Day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the Holy Day of Yahweh Honorable, And shall Honor Him by resting. not working, or speaking vain words then you shall delight yourself in Yahweh. (Isa 58:13,14) Many say that they worship on sunday, as Christians we worship every day. It's the resting on the Day Yahweh did, that He wants us to Honor Him.
The seminaries and preachers have taken away Honoring Yahweh, by taking away the 7th Day Sabbath. Is that paragraph above too much to do, for all the things Yahweh has done for mankind?
I would say that the one person in this whole universe that you would want to Honor is our Creator. Especially If you are a Christian that is reading this. And especially when our Creator told us to obey Him. And especially that He told us what day to Honor Him. I don't think that Day is a secret, as it is perfectly clear if you are studying and reading your Bible. Return to top, & click Sabbath .
Many oaths that you take has the word honor in it. Take for example the pledge of elegance, the boy and girl scout oath, and many other organizations, and don't forget the marriage vow. There are so many oaths going around, you wonder if anybody keeps them. As far as marriage goes, about a half do. A good start is the fifth Commandment, Honor your mother and your father. l My son, do not despise the chastening of Yahweh nor detest His correction for whom Yahweh loves He corrects. Just as a father to a son, in whom he delights. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For his proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies and all the things you may desire cannot compare with it. (Heb 12:5-8) Back To Topl If you haven't yet, click on James Gerke on FaceBook
