In ancient times the &lt;b&gt;alarm&lt;/b&gt; was made by blasting a &lt;b&gt;trumpet&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;and/or&lt;/i&gt; a &lt;b&gt;human voice&lt;/b&gt;. In the Book of &lt;b&gt;Revelation&lt;/b&gt; the alarm might also be made using &lt;b&gt;thunder&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;earthquakes&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;great icy and fiery hail&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;People&lt;/b&gt; Can TaRUOE (Blast) &lt;b&gt;Too&lt;/b&gt;. The main &lt;b&gt;reason&lt;/b&gt; why we celebrate the Day of Blasting is to &lt;b&gt;envision the FUTURE event&lt;/b&gt; when we (prayerfully) will &lt;b&gt;obtain new bodies&lt;/b&gt; as we &lt;b&gt;shout IEUE's Name&lt;/b&gt;, and when IEUE's &lt;b&gt;period of final warning of the inhabitants of the Earth will commence&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Day of Blasting&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are commanded to &lt;b&gt;blast&lt;/b&gt; on the first day of the seventh month.&lt;br&gt;CLV Lv 23:24 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month on day one of the month there shall be a cessation for you with a memorial trumpet &lt;b&gt;blasting&lt;/b&gt;, a holy meeting.&lt;br&gt;CLV Num 29:1 In the seventh month, on day one of the month you shall come to have a holy meeting when you shall do no occupational work at all; a day of trumpet &lt;b&gt;blast&lt;/b&gt; shall you come to have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Trumpets not Specified, but Were Usually Used to Blast&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;These verses (above) do not actually contain the word &amp;quot;trumpet&amp;quot;. However we know from many events in scripTURE that ancient Hebrews certainly used trumpets/bugles/horns which they called SHaPURs (shofars) &lt;b&gt;to make&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;blasting noises&lt;/b&gt; for emergencies, battle starts and times of rejoicing. This is the reason why most bible versions have inserted the word &amp;quot;trumpet&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ancient Hebrew &amp;quot;TaRUOE&amp;quot; Means &amp;quot;Blast&amp;quot;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The ancient Hebrew word for &lt;b&gt;blasting/blast&lt;/b&gt; in the above verses is &amp;quot;TaRUOE&amp;quot; (said as &amp;quot;ta-roo-oh-eh&amp;quot;). This word has &lt;b&gt;five letters&lt;/b&gt;. The lower case &amp;quot;a&amp;quot; is just a default vowel for connecting two consonants, and is not based on Massoritic vowel points.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The five letters are&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;T&lt;/b&gt; = tau (modern tav) = two crossed sticks. This represents a &lt;b&gt;sign&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;R&lt;/b&gt; = raash (modern resh) = man's head. This represents &lt;b&gt;first&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;U&lt;/b&gt; = uu (modern vav) = tent peg. This represents &lt;b&gt;secure&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;O&lt;/b&gt; = oin (modern ayin) = eye. This represents &lt;b&gt;watch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;E&lt;/b&gt; = ea (modern heh) = man with arms raised. This represents &lt;b&gt;look&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Overall we get &amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;Sign (that is) first (for) securing, watching and looking&lt;/b&gt;&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;the first sign to secure, watch and lookout&lt;/b&gt;&amp;quot;. In other words an &lt;b&gt;initial indication&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;alarm&lt;/b&gt; that was given to &lt;b&gt;groups&lt;/b&gt; of &lt;b&gt;people&lt;/b&gt; to &lt;b&gt;secure&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;watch over&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;look-out&lt;/b&gt; for their &lt;b&gt;family&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;property&lt;/b&gt;, in the case of an &lt;b&gt;emergency&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;war&lt;/b&gt;, or a &lt;b&gt;set-apart time of rejoicing&lt;/b&gt; (usually because of the victory over an enemy).&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Concordance and Lexicon Definitions&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Strong's Concordance and Benner's Ancient Hebrew Lexicon say that TaRUOE means an &lt;b&gt;alarm, loud noise, shout, a cry&lt;/b&gt;. This aligns with the ancient Hebrew pictographic analysis of each of the letters of the word.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong's definition of &amp;quot;TaRUOE (teruah)&amp;quot; (H8643)&lt;/b&gt;תּרוּעה  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;From H7321; clamor, that is, acclamation of joy or a battle cry; especially clangor of trumpets, as an alarum: - alarm, blow (-ing) (of, the) (trumpets), joy, jubile, loud noise, rejoicing, shout (-ing), (high, joyful) sound (-ing).&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strong's definition of &amp;quot;RUO (rua)&amp;quot; (H7321)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;רוּע&lt;br&gt;A primitive root; to mar (especially by breaking); figuratively to split the ears (with sound), that is, shout (for alarm or joy): - blow an alarm, cry (alarm, aloud, out), destroy, make a joyful noise, smart, shout (for joy), sound an alarm, triumph.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible Definition of TaRUOE (AHLB#:1460-J (i1))&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shout: A great shout of alarm, war or rejoicing.

It can be used for describing the &lt;b&gt;shout&lt;/b&gt; of a &lt;b&gt;person&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;For example -&lt;br&gt;1) When the &lt;b&gt;ISHaRaALites encircled IRIHU (Jericho)&lt;/b&gt;. They were commanded to not just blow their SHaPURs but also &lt;b&gt;shout&lt;/b&gt; (TaRUOE) with their &lt;b&gt;voices&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Teruah literally means to make a loud noise. This word can describe the noise made by a trumpet but it also describes the &lt;b&gt;noise made by a large gathering of people shouting in unison&lt;/b&gt; (Nu 10:5–6).&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.karaite-korner.org/yom_teruah.shtml"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;http://www.karaite-korner.org/yom_teruah.shtml&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;i&gt;Emphasis added.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;CLV Jsh 6:5&lt;br&gt;and it has been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the &lt;b&gt;people shout&lt;/b&gt;--a &lt;b&gt;great shout [TaROUE]&lt;/b&gt;, and the wall of the city has fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.'&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;CLV Jsh 6:20 And the people shout, AND blow with the trumpets, and it comes to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that &lt;b&gt;the people shout--a great shout [TaROUE]&lt;/b&gt;, and the wall falls under it, and the people goes up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;2) When the &lt;b&gt;ISHaRaALites&lt;/b&gt; took the &lt;b&gt;Ark of the Covenant&lt;/b&gt; from the &lt;b&gt;Philistine camp&lt;/b&gt; back to the Hebrew camp. It doesn't say exactly what ISHaRaAL shouted &lt;b&gt;with&lt;/b&gt;, but it does say &amp;quot;ISHaRaAL shouted&amp;quot;. ISHaRaAL are &lt;b&gt;people&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;1Sa 4:5 And when the ark of the covenant of יהוה came into the camp, &lt;b&gt;all ISHaRaAL shouted [TaRUOE]&lt;/b&gt; so loudly that the earth shook. 1Sa 4:6 And &lt;b&gt;when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout [TaRUOE]&lt;/b&gt;, they said, “What is the noise of this &lt;b&gt;great shout [TaRUOE]&lt;/b&gt; in the camp of the Heḇrews?” And when they knew that the ark of יהוה had come into the camp,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;3) When the ISHaRaALites carried the Ark into the city of IRUSHaLIM. Both humans shouted [TaRUOE] with their voices AND the ram's horn was &amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;sounded&lt;/b&gt;&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The word for &lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;sounded&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt; used is &lt;b&gt;QUL&lt;/b&gt;, which means &amp;quot;voice&amp;quot; (not blast), and comes from the letters &amp;quot;qap-uu-lam&amp;quot; which mean &amp;quot;authoritative securing at the horizon&amp;quot;, in other words the &lt;b&gt;call of the shepherd to the sheep at sunset&lt;/b&gt;, which by extension means &amp;quot;call&amp;quot;. (Note the similarity in the English word &amp;quot;call&amp;quot; and the ancient Hebrew word &amp;quot;QUL&amp;quot;!

When it came time to move he would call them and they would quickly gather to him, the sound of the shepherd, musical instrument, the wind, thunder, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;2Sa 6:15 Thus DUD (David) and all the house of ISHaRaAL brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting [TaRUOE] AND with the sound [QUL]of the ram’s horn.&lt;br&gt;4) When the &lt;b&gt;altar&lt;/b&gt; was &lt;b&gt;rebuilt in IRUSHaLIM&lt;/b&gt;. The people of ISHaRaAL &lt;b&gt;praised&lt;/b&gt; IEUE &lt;b&gt;as they shouted&lt;/b&gt; [TaRUOE].&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Ezr 3:11 And they responded by &lt;b&gt;praising&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;giving thanks&lt;/b&gt; to יהוה, “For He is good, for His kindness towards ISHaRaAL is forever.” And all the people shouted &lt;b&gt;with a great shout [TaRUOE]&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;when they praised יהוה,&lt;/b&gt; because the foundation of the House of יהוה was laid.&lt;br&gt;5) IUB (Job's) friend BaLaDaD (Bildad) told him that &lt;b&gt;lips can blast [TaRUOE]&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;YLT Jb 8:21 While he filleth with laughter thy mouth, And thy lips with shouting [TaRUOE],&lt;br&gt;There are more references to humans &amp;quot;blasting&amp;quot; in Psa 27:6, Psa 33:3, and Psa 89:15.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;More than Just a Rest Day with &amp;quot;Blasting&amp;quot;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;TURE (Torah) may be fairly quiet on what this IUM (day) means, but the &lt;b&gt;New Covenant&lt;/b&gt; scriptures are very clear what this day represents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;IUM TaRUOE is not so much a day of remembering the past, this is probably why the TURE is fairly quiet on the matter. The Autumnal feasts are types of FUTURE events, and so this means IUM TaRUOE's meaning is futuristic, because IUM TaRUOE is an autumnal High SHaBaT.&lt;br&gt;One day in the future the Son of ADaM (IEUESHUO) will gather His chosen ones from the whole Earth with the &amp;quot;great sound of a TRUMPET&amp;quot; at the culmination of the Great Tribulation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Mat 24:31 “And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.&lt;br&gt;1Co 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;This day of the &amp;quot;rapture&amp;quot; will be &lt;b&gt;both a day of great rejoicing&lt;/b&gt; for those who were &lt;b&gt;deemed worthy&lt;/b&gt; to meet Him in the air, &lt;b&gt;AND&lt;/b&gt; the &lt;b&gt;start of the beginning of a huge emergency&lt;/b&gt; for those &lt;b&gt;left behind&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;The worldwide government will be fully declared by the Anti-Mashich by this time, along with lightnings, voices, thunders, an earthquake and great hail occurring on a global scale.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;This &lt;b&gt;last day of trumpet blasting (the seventh &amp;quot;trumpet&amp;quot;)&lt;/b&gt;, and the &lt;b&gt;six&lt;/b&gt; preceding &amp;quot;trumpet blasts&amp;quot; may come in the form of &lt;b&gt;thunder&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;earthquakes&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;great icy and fiery hail&lt;/b&gt;, or other large-scale &lt;b&gt;natural&lt;/b&gt; blasting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;After this the worst of IEUE's judgment on this unbelieving generation will be unleashed through the vials/bowls. These events (wicked sores, blood sea, blood rivers, burning sun, darkness, the Euphrates dried up) will be &lt;b&gt;IEUE's FINAL WARNING&lt;/b&gt; until the Battle of IRUSHaLIM on the Day of Atonement (IUM KIPUR), when SHaTaN will be bound, and the 1000 year reign will commence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Shouting IEUE's Name on the IUM TaRUOE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Lev 23:24, IUM TaRUOE is also referred to as &amp;quot;ZaKRUN TaRUOE&amp;quot;. The word &amp;quot;ZaKRUN&amp;quot; is sometimes translated as “memorial” but this Hebrew word also has the meaning of “mentioning” often in reference to speaking the name of IEUE (e.g. Ex 3:15; Isa 12:4; ; 26:13; Ps 45:18).&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The day of ZaKRUN TaRUOE, the “Mentioning Shout”, may refer to a day of gathering in public prayer in which the crowd of the faithful &lt;b&gt;shouts the name of IEUE in unison&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.karaite-korner.org/yom_teruah.shtml"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;http://www.karaite-korner.org/yom_teruah.shtml&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Could it be that the only ones raptured will be those &lt;b&gt;shouting the (correct) Name of IEUE&lt;/b&gt; on some future Day of Blasting?!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;This aligns with the traditional IEUEDic (Jewish) blessing of &amp;quot;MAY YOU BE INSCRIBED &amp;amp; &lt;b&gt;SEALED&lt;/b&gt; FOR A GOOD YEAR&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Only those &lt;b&gt;correctly sealed&lt;/b&gt; using the proper Name of ALEIM, which is &lt;b&gt;IEUE&lt;/b&gt;, will know what Name to shout on IUM TaRUOE! These people have had the &lt;b&gt;Name of IEUE&lt;/b&gt; and his son &lt;b&gt;IEUESHUO&lt;/b&gt; (just one word - IEUE is embedded into the Name IEUESHUO) on their foreheads (via immersion).

WAR AND EMERGENCY POWERS&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;NATIONAL EMERGENCY: (as defined in &lt;u&gt;Black's Law Dictionary&lt;/u&gt;) A state of national crisis; a situation demanding immediate and extraordinary national or federal action. Congress has made little or no distinction between a &amp;quot;state of national emergency&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;state of war.&amp;quot;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;Brown v. Bernstein, &lt;a href="http://d.c.pa/"&gt;D.C.Pa&lt;/a&gt;., 49 F.Supp. 728, 732&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;br&gt;This report begins with a series of documents which are representative (Exhibits 1 through 7), of the documents contained in this Report. We will be quoting from in many cases, reports, Senate and Congressional reports, hearings before National Emergency Committees, Presidential Papers, Statutes at Large, and the United States Code. &lt;br&gt;Exhibit 8 is taken from a book written by &amp;quot;Swisher&amp;quot; called &lt;u&gt;Constitutional Development&lt;/u&gt;. Let's read the first paragraph. It says:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;We may well wonder in view of the precedents now established,&amp;quot; said Charles E. Hughes, (Supreme Court Justice) in 1920, &amp;quot;whether constitutional government as heretofore maintained in this Republic could survive another great war even victoriously waged.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;How could that happen? Surely, if we go out and fight a war and win it, we'd have to end up stronger than the day we started, wouldn't we? Justice Hughes goes on to say:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The conflict known as the World War had ended as far as military hostilities were concerned, but was not yet officially terminated. Most of the war statutes were still in effect, many of the emergency organizations were still in operation.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;What is this man talking about when he speaks of &amp;quot;war statutes in effect and emergency organizations still in operation&amp;quot;? &lt;br&gt;In 1933 (Exhibit 9), Congressman Beck, speaking from the Congressional Record, states:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;I think of all the damnable heresies that have ever been suggested in connection with the Constitution, the doctrine of emergency is the worst. it means that when Congress declares an emergency, there is no Constitution. This means its death. It is the very doctrine that the German chancellor is invoking today in the dying hours of the parliamentary body of the German republic, namely, that because of an emergency, it should grant to the German chancellor absolute power to pass any law, even though the law contradicts the Constitution of the German republic. Chancellor Hitler is at least frank about it. We pay the Constitution lipservice, but the result is the same.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Congressman Beck is saying that, of all the damnable heresies that ever existed, this doctrine of emergency has got to be the worst, because once Congress declares an emergency, there is no Constitution. He goes on to say:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;But the Constitution of the United States, as a restraining influence in keeping the federal government within the carefully prescribed channels of power, is moribund, if not dead. We are witnessing its death-agonies, for when this bill becomes a law, if unhappily it becomes a law, there is no longer any workable Constitution to keep the Congress within the limits of its Constitutional powers.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;What bill is Congressman Beck talking about? In 1933, &amp;quot;the House passed the Farm Bill by a vote of more than three to one.&amp;quot; Again, we see the doctrine of emergency. Once an emergency is declared, there is no Constitution. The cause and effect of the doctrine of emergency is the subject of this Report. In 1973, in &lt;u&gt;Senate Report 93-549&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 10), the first sentence reads:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Since March the 9th, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Let's go back to Exhibit 9 just before this. What did that say? It says that if a national emergency is declared, there is no Constitution. Now, let us return to Exhibit 10. Since March the 9th of 1933, the United States has been, in fact, in a state of declared national emergency. &lt;br&gt;Referring to the middle of this exhibit:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional processes. Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;and this situation has continued uninterrupted since March the 9th of 1933. &lt;br&gt;In the introduction to &lt;u&gt;Senate Report 93-549&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 11):&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;A majority of the people of the United States have lived all their lives under emergency rule.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Remember, this report was produced in 1973. The introduction goes on to say:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;For 40 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;The introduction continues:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;And, in the United States, actions taken by the government in times of great crisis have from, at least, the Civil War, in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;How many people were taught that in school? How could it possibly be that something which could suspend our Constitution would not be taught in school? Amazing, isn't it? &lt;br&gt;Where does this (Exhibit 12) come from? Is it possible that, in our Constitution, there could be some section which could contemplate what these previous documents are referring to? In &lt;u&gt;Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution of the United States of America&lt;/u&gt;, we find the following words:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion, the public Safety may require it.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Habeas Corpus - the Great Writ of Liberty. This is the writ which guarantees that the government cannot charge us and hold us with any crime, unless they follow the procedure of due process of law. This writ also says, in effect, that the privilege of due process of law cannot be suspended, and that the government cannot not operate its arbitrary prerogative power against We the People. But we see that the great Writ of Liberty can, in fact, under the Constitution, be suspended when an invasion or a rebellion necessitates it. &lt;br&gt;In the &lt;u&gt;5th Amendment to the Constitution&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 13), it says:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;We reserved the charging power for ourselves, didn't we? We didn't give that power to the government. And we also said that the government would be powerless to charge one of the citizens or one of the peoples of the United States with a crime unless We, the People, through our grand jury, orders it to do so through an indictment or a presentment. And if We, the People, don't order it, the government cannot do it. If it tried to do it, we would simply follow the Writ of Habeas Corpus, and they would have to release us, wouldn't they? They could not hold us. &lt;br&gt;But let us recall that, in Exhibit 13, it says:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in times of War or public danger.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;We can see here that the framers of the Constitution were already contemplating times when there would be conditions under which it might be necessary to suspend the guarantees of the Constitution. &lt;br&gt;Also from &lt;u&gt;Senate Report 93-549&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 14), and remember that our congressmen wrote these reports and these documents and they're talking about these emergency powers and they say:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;They are quite careful and restrictive on the power, but the power to suspend is specifically contemplated by the Constitution in the Writ of Habeas Corpus.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Now, this is well known. This is not a concept that was not known to rulers for many, many years. The concepts of constitutional dictatorship went clear back to the Roman Republic. And there, it was determined that, in times of dire emergencies, yes, the constitution and the rights of the people could be suspended, temporarily, until the crisis, whatever its nature, could be resolved. &lt;br&gt;But once it was done, the Constitution was to be returned to its peacetime position of authority. In France, the situation under which the constitution could be suspended is called the &amp;quot;State of Siege.&amp;quot;  In Great Britain, it's called &amp;quot;The Defense of the Realm Acts.&amp;quot;  In Germany, in which Hitler became a dictator, it was simply called &amp;quot;Article 48.&amp;quot; In the United States, it is called the &amp;quot;War Powers.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;If that was, in fact, the case, and we are under a war emergency in this country, then there should be evidence of that war emergency in the current law that exists today. That means we should be able to go to the federal code known as the USC or United States Code, and find that statute, that law, in existence. And if we went to the library today and picked up a copy of &lt;u&gt;12 USC&lt;/u&gt; and went to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/12/95b.html"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Section 95 (b)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt; (Exhibit 15), we will find a law which states:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The actions, regulations, rules, licenses, orders and proclamations heretofore or hereafter taken, promulgated, made, or issued by the President of the United States or the Secretary of the Treasury since March the 4th, 1933, pursuant to the authority conferred by Subsection (b) of Section 5 of the Act of October 6th, 1917, as amended [12 USCS Sec. 95a], are hereby approved and confirmed. (Mar. 9, 1933, c. 1, Title I, Sec. 1, 48 Stat. 1.)&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Now, what does this mean? It means that everything the President or the Secretary of the Treasury has done since March the 4th of 1933, or anything that the President or the Secretary of the Treasury is hereafter going to do, is automatically approved and confirmed. Referring back to Exhibit 10, let us remember that, according to the Congressional Record of 1973, the United States has been in a state of national emergency since 1933. Then we realize that &lt;u&gt;12 USC&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/12/95b.html"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Section 95 (b)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt; is current law. This is the law that exists over this United States this moment. &lt;br&gt;If that be the case, let us see if we can understand what is being said here. As every action, rule or law put into effect by the President or the Secretary of the Treasury since March the 4th of 1933 has or will be confirmed and approved, let us determine the significance of that date in history. What happened on March the 4th of 1933? &lt;br&gt;On March the 4th of 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated as President of the United States. Referring to his inaugural address, which was given at a time when the country was in the throes of the Great Depression, we read (Exhibit 16):&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wisdom, I shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption. But in the event that the Congress shall fall to take one of these two courses, and in the event that the national emergency is still critical, I shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then confront me. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;On March the 4th, 1933, at his inaugural, President Roosevelt was saying that he was going to ask Congress for the extraordinary authority available to him under the &lt;u&gt;War Powers Act&lt;/u&gt;. Let's see if he got it. &lt;br&gt;On March the 5th, President Roosevelt asked for a special and extraordinary session of Congress in Proclamation 2038. He called for the special session of Congress to meet on March the 9th at noon. And at that Congress, he presented a bill, an Act, to provide for relief in the existing national emergency in banking and for other purposes. &lt;br&gt;In the enabling portion of that Act (Exhibit 17), it states:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Congress hereby declares that a serious emergency exists and that it is imperatively necessary speedily to put into effect remedies of uniform national application.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;What is the concept of the rule of necessity, referred to in the enabling portion of the act as &amp;quot;imperatively necessary speedily&amp;quot;? The rule of necessity is a rule of law which states that necessity knows no law. A good example of the rule of necessity would be the concept of self-defense. The law says, &amp;quot;Thou shalt not kill&amp;quot;. But also know that, if you are in dire danger, in danger of losing your life, then you have the absolute right of self-defense. You have the right to kill to protect your own life. That is the ultimate rule of necessity. &lt;br&gt;Thus we see that the rule of necessity overrides all other law, and, in fact, allows one to do that which would normally be against the law. So it is reasonable to assume that the wording of the enabling portion of the Act of March 9, 1933, is an indication that what follows is something which will probably be against the law. It will probably be against the Constitution of the United States, or it would not require that the rule of necessity be invoked to enact it. &lt;br&gt;In the &lt;u&gt;Act of March 9, 1933&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 17), it further states in &lt;u&gt;Title 1, Section 1&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The actions, regulations, rules, licenses, orders and proclamations heretofore or hereafter taken, promulgated, made, or issued by the President of the United States or the Secretary of the Treasury since March the 4th, 1933, pursuant to the authority conferred by subdivision (b) of Section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended, are hereby approved and confirmed.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Where have we read those words before? &lt;br&gt;This is the exact same wording as is found (Exhibit 15) today in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/12/95b.html"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Title 12, USC 95 (b).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt; The language in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/12/95b.html"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Title 12, USC 95 (b)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt; is exactly the same as that found in the &lt;u&gt;Act of March 9, 1933, Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 48, Statute 1&lt;/u&gt;. The &lt;u&gt;Act of March 9, 1933&lt;/u&gt;, is still in full force and effect today. We are still under the &amp;quot;Rule of Necessity.&amp;quot; We are still in a declared state of national emergency, a state of emergency which has existed, uninterrupted, since 1933, or for over sixty years. &lt;br&gt;As you may remember, the authority to do this is conferred by &lt;u&gt;Subsection (b) of Section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917&lt;/u&gt;, as amended. What was the authority which was used to declare and enact the emergency in this Act? If we look at the &lt;u&gt;Act of October 6, 1917&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 18), we see that at the top right-hand part of the page, it states that this was:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;An Act To define, regulate, and punish trading with the enemy, and for other purposes.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;By the year 1917, the United States was involved in World War 1; at that point, it was recognized that there were probably enemies of the United States, or allies of enemies of the United States, living within the continental borders of our nation in a time of war. &lt;br&gt;Therefore, Congress passed this Act which identified who could be declared enemies of the United States, and, in this Act, we gave the government total authority over those enemies to do with as it saw fit. We also see, however, in &lt;u&gt;Section 2, Subdivision (c)&lt;/u&gt; in the middle, and again at the bottom of the page:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;other than citizens of the United States.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;The Act specifically excluded citizens of the United States, because we realized in 1917 that the citizens of the United States were not enemies. Thus, we were excluded from the war powers over enemies in this act. &lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;Section 5 (b)&lt;/u&gt; of the same act (Exhibit 19), states:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;That the President may investigate, regulate, or prohibit, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, by means of licenses or otherwise, any transactions in foreign exchange, export or earmarkings of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency, transfers of credit in any form (other than credits relating solely to transactions to be executed wholly within the United States)&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Again, we see here that citizens, and the transactions of citizens made wholly within the United States, were specifically excluded from the war powers of this act. &amp;quot;We the People&amp;quot;, were not enemies of our country; therefore, the government did not have total authority over us as they were given over our enemies. &lt;br&gt; It is important to draw attention again to the fact that citizens of the United States in October, 1917, were not called &amp;quot;enemies.&amp;quot;  Consequently the government, under the war powers of this act, did not have authority over us; we were still protected by the Constitution. Granted, over enemies of this nation, the government was empowered to do anything it deemed necessary, but not over us. The distinction made between enemies of the United States and citizens of the United States will become crucial later on. &lt;br&gt; In &lt;u&gt;Section 2&lt;/u&gt; of the &lt;u&gt;Act of March 9, 1933&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 17), &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Subdivision (b) of Section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917 (40 Stat. L. 411), as amended, is hereby amended to read as follows;&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;So we see that they are now going to amend &lt;u&gt;Section 5 (b)&lt;/u&gt;. Now let's see how it reads after it's amended. The amended version of &lt;u&gt;Section 5 (b)&lt;/u&gt; reads (emphasis added):&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;During time of war or during any other period of national emergency declared by the President, the President may, through any agency that be may designate, or otherwise, investigate, regulate, or prohibit, under such rules and regulations as be may prescribe, by means of licenses or otherwise, any transactions in foreign exchange, transfers of credit between or payments by banking institutions as defined by the President and export, hoarding, melting, or earmarkings of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency, by any person within the United States or anyplace subject to the jurisdiction thereof&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;What just happened? At as far as commercial, monetary or business transactions were concerned, the people of the United States were no longer differentiated from any other enemy of the United States. We had lost that crucial distinction. Comparing Exhibit 17 with Exhibit 19, we can see that the phrase which excluded transactions executed wholly within the United States has been removed from the amended version of &lt;u&gt;Section 5 (b)&lt;/u&gt; of the &lt;u&gt;Act of March 9, 1933, Section 2&lt;/u&gt;, and replaced with &amp;quot;by any person within the United States or anyplace subject to the jurisdiction thereof'. All monetary transactions, whether domestic or international in scope, were now placed at the whim of the President of the United States through the authority given to him by the Trading with the Enemy Act. &lt;br&gt;To summarize this critical point: On October the 6th of 1917, at the beginning of America's involvement in World War 1, Congress passed a &lt;u&gt;Trading with the Enemy Act&lt;/u&gt; empowering the government to take control over any and all commercial, monetary or business transactions conducted by enemies or allies of enemies within our continental borders. That act also defined the term &amp;quot;enemy&amp;quot; and excluded from that definition citizens of the United States. &lt;br&gt;In &lt;u&gt;Section 5 (b)&lt;/u&gt; of this act, we see that the President was given unlimited authority to control the commercial transactions of defined enemies, but we see that credits relating solely to transactions executed wholly within the United States were excluded from that controlling authority. As transactions wholly domestic in nature were excluded from authority, the government had no extraordinary control over the daily business conducted by the citizens of the United States, because we were certainly not enemies. &lt;br&gt; Citizens of the United States were not enemies of their country in 1917, and the transactions conducted by citizens within this country were not considered to be enemy transactions. But in looking again at &lt;u&gt;Section 2&lt;/u&gt; of the &lt;u&gt;Act of March 9, 1933&lt;/u&gt;, (Exhibit 17), we can see that the phrase excluding wholly domestic transactions has been removed from the amended version and replaced with &amp;quot;by any person within the United States or anyplace subject to the jurisdiction thereof'. &lt;br&gt;The people of the United States were now subject to the power of the &lt;u&gt;Trading with the Enemy Act&lt;/u&gt; of October 6,1917, as amended. For the purposes of all commercial, monetary, and, in effect, all business transactions. &amp;quot;We the People,&amp;quot; became the same as the enemy, and were treated no differently. There was no longer any distinction. &lt;br&gt;It is important here&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;to note that, in the &lt;u&gt;Acts of October 6, 1917&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;March 9, 1933&lt;/u&gt;, it states:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&amp;quot;during times of war or during any other national emergency declared by the President...&amp;quot;. So we now see that the war powers not only included a period of war, but also a period of &amp;quot;national emergency&amp;quot; as defined by the President of the United States. When either of these two situations occur, the President may, (Exhibit 17) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;through any agency that he may designate, or otherwise, investigate, regulate or prohibit under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe by means of licenses or otherwise, any transactions in foreign exchange, transfers of credit between or payments by banking institutions as defined by the President and export, boarding, melting or earmarking of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency by any person within the United States or anyplace subject to the jurisdiction thereof.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;What can the President do now to the We, the People, under this Section? He can do anything he wants to do. It's purely at his discretion, and he can use any agency or any license that he desires to control it. This is called a constitutional dictatorship. &lt;br&gt;In &lt;u&gt;Senate Document 93-549&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 20), Congress declared that a serious emergency exists, at:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;48 Stat. 1. The exclusion of domestic transactions, formerly found in the Act, was deleted from Sect. 5 (b) at this time.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Our Congress wrote that in the year 1973. &lt;br&gt;Now let's find out about the &lt;u&gt;Trading with the Enemy Act&lt;/u&gt; of October 6, 1917. Quoting from a Supreme Court decision (Exhibit 21), &lt;u&gt;Stoehr v. Wallace&lt;/u&gt;, 1921:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The Trading With the Enemy Act, originally and as amended, is strictly a war measure, and finds its sanction in the provision empowering Congress &amp;quot;to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water&amp;quot; Const. Art. 1, Sect. 8, c1. 11. P.241&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Remember your Constitution? &amp;quot;Congress shall have the power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal and make all rules concerning the captures on the land and the water of the enemies,&amp;quot; all rules. &lt;br&gt;If that be the case, let us look at the memorandum of law that now covers trading with the enemy, the &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Memorandum of American Cases and Recent English Cases on The Law of Trading With the Enemy&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; (Exhibit 22), remembering that we are now the same as the enemy. In this memorandum, we read: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Every species of intercourse with the enemy is illegal. This prohibition is not limited to mere commercial intercourse.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;This is the case of &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Rapid&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1814). &lt;br&gt;Additionally, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;No contract is considered as valid between enemies, at least so far as to give them a remedy in the courts of either government, and they have, in the language of the civil law, no ability to sustain a persona standi in judicio&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;In other words, they have no personal rights at law in court. This is the case of &lt;u&gt;The Julia&lt;/u&gt; (1813). &lt;br&gt;In the next case, the case of &lt;u&gt;The Sally&lt;/u&gt; (1814) (Exhibit 23), we read the words:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;By the general law of prize, property engaged in an illegal intercourse with the enemy is deemed enemy property. It is of no consequence whether it belong to an ally or to a citizen; the illegal traffic stamps it with the hostile character, and attaches to it all the penal consequences of enemy ownership&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Reading further in the memorandum, again from the case of &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Rapid&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The law of prize is part of the law of nations. In it, a hostile character is attached to trade, independently of the character of the trader who pursues or directs it. Condemnation to the use of the captor is equally the fate of the property of the belligerent and of the property found engaged in anti-neutral trade. But a citizen or an ally may be engaged in a hostile trade, and thereby involve his property in the fate of those in whose cause he embarks&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Again from the memorandum (Exhibit 24):&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The produce of the soil of the hostile territory, as well as other property engaged in the commerce of the hostile power, as the source of its wealth and strength, are always regarded as legitimate prize, without regard to the domicile of the owner&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;From the case (Exhibit 25) of &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;The William Bagaley&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1866):&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;In general, during war, contracts with, or powers of attorney or agency from, the enemy executed after outbreak of war are illegal and void; contracts entered into with the enemy prior to the war are either suspended or are absolutely terminated; partnerships with an enemy are dissolved; powers of attorney from the enemy, with certain exceptions, lapse; payments to the enemy (except to agents in the United States appointed prior to the war and confirmed since the war) are illegal and void; all rights of an enemy to sue in the courts are suspended.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;From &lt;u&gt;Senate Report No. 113&lt;/u&gt; (Exhibit 26), in which we find &lt;u&gt;An Act to Define, Regulate, and Punish Trading with the Enemy, and For Other Purposes&lt;/u&gt;, we read:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#c0c0c0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The trade or commerce regulated or prohibited is defined in Subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), page 4. This trade covers almost every imaginable transaction, and is forbidden and made unlawful except when allowed under the form of licenses issued by the Secretary of Commerce (p. 4, sec. 3, line 18). This authorization of trading under licenses constitutes the principal modification of the rule of international law forbidding trade between the citizens of belligerents, for the power to grant such licenses, and therefore exemption from the operation of law, is given by the bill.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;It says no trade can be conducted or no intercourse can be conducted without a license, because, by mere definition of the enemy, and under the prize law, all intercourse is illegal. &lt;br&gt;That was the first case we looked at, Exhibit 22, wasn't it? So once we were declared enemies, all intercourse became illegal for us. The only way we could now do business or any type of legal intercourse was to obtain permission from our government by means of a license. We are certainly required to have a &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Social Security Card&lt;/i&gt;,&amp;quot; which is a license to work, and a Drivers License, which gives the government the ability to restrict travel; all business in which we engage ourselves requires us to have a license, does it not? &lt;br&gt;Returning once again to the Memorandum of Law: &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;(Exhibit 27) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;But it is necessary always to bear in mind that a war cannot be carried on without hurting somebody, even, at times, our own citizens. The public good, however, must prevail over private gain. As we said in Bishop v. Jones (28 Texas, 294), there cannot be &amp;quot;a war for arms and a peace for commerce&amp;quot;. One of the most important features of the bill is that which provides for the temporary taking over of the enemy property.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;This point of law is important to keep in mind, for it authorizes the temporary takeover of enemy property. The question is: Once the war terminates, the property must be returned, mustn't it? &lt;br&gt;The property that is confiscated, and the belligerent night of the government during the period of war, must be returned when the war terminates. Let us take the case of a ship in harbor; war breaks out, and the Admiral says,&lt;i&gt; &amp;quot;I'm seizing your ship.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; Can you stop him? No. But when the war is over, the Admiral must return your ship to you. This point is important to bear in mind, for we will return to, and expand upon, it later in the report. &lt;br&gt;Reading from (Exhibit 28) &lt;u&gt;Senate Document No. 43, &amp;quot;Contracts Payable in Gold&amp;quot; &lt;/u&gt;written in 1933:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called &amp;quot;ownership&amp;quot; is only by virtue of government, i. e., law, amounting to mere user; and use must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Who owns all the property? Who owns the property you call &amp;quot;yours&amp;quot;? Who has the authority to mortgage property? Let us continue with a Supreme Court decision, (Exhibit 29) &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;United States v. Russell&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Private property, the Constitution provides, shall not be taken for public use without just compensation...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;That is the peacetime clause, isn't it? Further (emphasis added), &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Extraordinary and unforeseen occasions arise, however, beyond all doubt, in cases of extreme necessity in time of war or of immediate and impending public danger, in which private property may be impressed into the public service, or may be seized or appropriated to public use, or may even be destroyed without the consent of the owner...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;This quote, and indeed this case, provides a vivid frustration of the potential power of the government. &lt;br&gt;Now, let us return to the period of time after March 4, 1933, and take a close look at what really occurred. On March 4, 1933, in his inaugural address, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt asked for the authority of the war powers, and called a special session of Congress for the purpose of having those powers conferred to him. &lt;br&gt;On March the 2nd, 1933, however, we find that Herbert Hoover had written a letter to the Federal Reserve Board of New York, asking them for recommendations for action based on the over-all situation at the time. The Federal Reserve Board responded with a resolution (Exhibit 30) which they had adopted, an excerpt from which follows:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Resolution Adopted By The Federal Reserve Board Of New York. Whereas, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the continued and increasing withdrawal of currency and gold from the banks of the country has now created a national emergency ...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;In order to fully appreciate the significance of this last quote, we must recall that, in 1913, The Federal Reserve Act was passed, authorizing the creation of a central bank, the thought of which had already been noted in the Constitution. The basic idea of the central bank was, among other things, for it to act as a secure repository for the gold of the people. We, the People, would bring our gold to the huge, strong vaults of the Federal Reserve, and we would be issued a note which said, in effect, that, at any time we desired, we could bring that note back to the bank and be given back our gold which we had deposited. &lt;br&gt;Until 1933, that agreement, that contract between the Federal Reserve and its depositors, was honored. Federal Reserve notes, prior to 1933, were indeed redeemable in gold. After 1933, the situation changed drastically. In 1933, during the depths of the Depression, at the time when We, the People, were struggling to stay alive and keep our families fed, the bankers began to say: &amp;quot;People are coming in now, wanting their gold, wanting us to honor this contract we have made with them to give them their gold on demand, and this contractual obligation is creating a national emergency.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;How could that happen? Reading from the Public Papers of Herbert Hoover (Exhibit 31):&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that, in this emergency, the Federal Reserve Board is hereby requested to urge the President of the United States to declare a bank holiday, Sat., March 4, and Monday, March 6.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;In other words, President Roosevelt was urged to close down the banking system and make it unavailable make it unavailable for a short period of time. What was to happen during that period of time? &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Misc RM 63 Misc reference material Part 1 &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reference Material - For Information Only!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Over time we have collected a lot of reference material. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;We figured it would be better to share with all rather than just delete it. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;If you want it, keep it, otherwise just delete it. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ffff"&gt;Due to the volume it will take more than one mailing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=5746770099299346669&amp;page=RSS%3a+The+Constitution+Has+Been+Suspended!&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=beyondthechurch.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=BeyondTheChurch"&gt;</description><comments>http://BeyondTheChurch.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!4FC0A0F52692E8ED!495.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://BeyondTheChurch.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!4FC0A0F52692E8ED!495.entry</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:23:04 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://BeyondTheChurch.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4FC0A0F52692E8ED!495/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://BeyondTheChurch.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!4FC0A0F52692E8ED!495.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-06-26T00:23:04Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Paul more APOSTATE than apostle part2</title><link>http://BeyondTheChurch.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!4FC0A0F52692E8ED!488.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size=4&gt;&lt;em&gt;A New Morality&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;One of the proofs that Paul used to declare the Law was abolished is in the way Paul explains that a 'new morality' is now established for christians. Paul now provides his own replacement ethical system in place of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s... I guess he thinks his is better. Paul's new morality system is based on what is &amp;quot;obvious&amp;quot; as wrong to a person led by the spirit. Here are some of the tests he uses...&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;1Co 6:12 All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; 1Co 10:23 All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify. Rom 14:22 ... Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth. Rom 14:5 Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000" size=5&gt;This is the &amp;quot;If It Feels Good... Do it!&amp;quot; Philosophy&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;This is the same philosophy that the Pagan Greeks have... Paul was a Hellenist Jew (More pagan than Jew). Now you are beginning to see Paul's Hellenized roots popping up. You need to ask yourself... is holding this philosophy keeping in the standards and ways that &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; established for us... Absolutely Not!&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;This needs more discussion. Paul teaches that anything is allowed if your conscience permits it. According to Paul The Torah is moot and no longer applies. If your conscience allows you to think something is permissible... then it is permissible.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;Here is another issue where &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; and Paul differ greatly.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=5&gt;Paul says if you sin, just find a way to let your conscience live with it. Rom 14:22 ... Happy is he that does not condemn himself in that thing that he allows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; says:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=4&gt;Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=4&gt;Mat 18:8 And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. 9 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=4&gt;Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire; 44 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell; 46 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; 48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000" size=4&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff"&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;'s plan for repentance is a lot harder to accept and it is no wonder that Paul's worshippers and the church preferred the easy way out. There's no personal sacrifice in Paul's religion. Just forgive yourself and go on lying,cheating, stealing, raping and killing.... No worries.... You can continue to do whatever you want and remain saved. Somehow that doesn't equate with Scripture. One can continue to be in blatant disobedience to &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s Law and still retain full pardon? How does that work?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#8000ff" size=4&gt;There is no point in repenting from anything or turning away from sin if your reward is guaranteed no matter what you do. Is that what Scripture says? That is the doctrine of Paul and the Church. The sad thing is the church truly lives that way too.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff40" size=5&gt;Paul's Belief's on the Origins of The Law&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;I hope you're sitting down for this. It is one of the most troubling aspect of Paul's writings on The Law. He attributes the Law that was given to Moses was given by angels. According to Paul...Moses was just a mediator and if we want to go back to a Torah based lifestyle, then we are submitting ourselves to those who are no gods and they are weak and beggarly elements. In saying this Paul clearly says the Law was not given by &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;. Let's take a look at what Paul said.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Gal 3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Gal 4:8 Howbeit at that time, not knowing &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods&lt;/font&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:9 but now that ye have come to know &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, or rather to be known by &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;What is also very disturbing is that he speaks of people who are obedient to &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; as if they are in bondage. Rather than the Law being a positive thing, he prefers to recast  the nature of the entire Hebrew Scriptures to make them a very bad thing. Now let's read that entire section in Galatians. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Gal 3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;till&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; and &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; is one. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;? &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:22 But the scriptures &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;shut up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:23 But before faith came, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;we were kept in ward (bondage)under the law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:24 So that the law is become &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;our tutor (The Law)to bring us unto Christ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, that we might be justified by faith. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:25 But now that faith is come, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;we are no longer under a tutor (The Law)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:26 For ye are all sons of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, through faith, in Christ Jesus. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:28 There can be &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;neither Jew nor Greek&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one man in Christ Jesus. &lt;br&gt;Gal 3:29 And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Gal 4:1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;a bondservant&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; though he is lord of all; &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:2 but is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;under guardians and stewards&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (angels) until the day appointed of the father. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:3 So we also, when we were children, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;were held in bondage&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; under the elements (angels) of the world: &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:4 but when the fullness of the time came, &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:5 that he might redeem them &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;that were under the law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, that we might receive the adoption of sons. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:7 So that thou art &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;no longer a bondservant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:8 Howbeit at that time, not knowing &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods (angels):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:9 but now that ye have come to know &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, or rather to be known by &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, how turn ye back again to &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the weak and beggarly elements (angels), whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? &lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Gal 4:10 Ye &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;observe days, and months, and seasons, and years. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gal 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Gal 4:20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:21 Tell me, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ye that desire to be under the law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, do ye not hear the law? &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:23 Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:24 &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which things contain an allegory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;children unto bondage, which is Hagar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:25 Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;she is in bondage with her children&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;are children of promise&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;born after the Spirit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, so also it is now. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:30 Howbeit what saith the scripture? &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;br&gt;Gal 4:31 Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size=5&gt;Who gave the Law.... &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; or Beggarly Angels?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Ok, Let's test Paul against Scripture... wanna guess who's in error?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;I'm going to take you first to &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Exo 20:1 And &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; spake all these words, saying&lt;/font&gt;,.... what follows is the rest of the Ten Commandments. Did you see anything about angels or elements giving The Commandments to Moses? OK, Let's see if there is any more evidence...&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Exo 25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;the testimony which I shall give thee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. 21 And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the testimony that I shall give thee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Care to see what &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; says about who gave the commandments?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Mar 12:26 But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the place concerning the Bush, &lt;strong&gt;how &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt; spake unto him(Moses), saying, I am the &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;Elohim&lt;/font&gt; of Abraham, and the &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;Elohim&lt;/font&gt; of Isaac, and the &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;Elohim&lt;/font&gt; of Jacob?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Luk 20:37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;the Elohim of Abraham&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;Elohim of Isaac&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and the &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elohim of Jacob&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size=5&gt;Did anyone see any angels or beggarly elements mentioned in those scriptures?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;It appears that &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; has declared Paul a false teacher again &lt;font size=2&gt;and again &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=1&gt;and again&lt;/font&gt;! Paul is &lt;font color="#00ff00"&gt;FLAT WRONG!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;FALSE PROPHET - FALSE APOSTLE - FALSE TEACHER&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff" size=4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Contradictions from Paul&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;What I find amusing yet disturbing is that Paul does not want his worshippers to submit to &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s Laws, Yet Paul does want them to submit to Pagan Authorities (Roman Caesars). He says that &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; has set the Pagans in authority over the believer's for their own good. Paul says the cruel Romans are Ministers of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;.... Want Proof?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Rom 13:1 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: for there is no power but of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;; and the powers that be are ordained of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;. 4 &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;for he is a minister of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a minister of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=4&gt;Roman Cruelty is ordained by &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;So we are to submit to Disobedient and tyrannical  governments but not &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s Laws? Does anyone see anything wrong with that picture?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size=4&gt;Yahudah finds Paul Heretical!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Paul says &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s angels are weak and beggarly elements and that is a severe put down of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s creation. He also implicates the angels for acting out of turn and bringing the Law to Moses (which I have already disproved)&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;However Yahudah (&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;'s brother) condemns Paul and &amp;quot;those who make grace a license for immorality&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff" size=3&gt;Yahudah 1:4 For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; into lasciviousness (Immorality), and denying our only Master and Lord, &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;. 8 Yet in like manner these (false teachers) also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion (&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s Kingdom), and rail at dignities (Angels).&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0080ff" size=3&gt;10 But these (false teachers) rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. 11 Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah 12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Now allow me to explain how this relates to Paul... Jude clearly condemns the Dangerous Grace Teachers and gives a clue as to the identities of these teachers... They rail at dignities (Angels). He warns of wolves in sheep's clothing that have slipped in among you (&lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; 4). They put down and slander Angels (&lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; 8). They are False Teachers who teach grace is a license for immorality (&lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; 4)... &lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; defines this as teaching that &amp;quot;Once you are a Christian there is no risk of eternal fire&amp;quot; (&lt;font color="#0080ff" size=3&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff" size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;7) if we engage in immorality (&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 4,7). &lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; gives us an example that initial salvation and even a presence with &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; in Heaven is brought to nothing by sin/having lost faith. There are NO guarantees that one will finally be saved from eternal fire. Those who teach to the contrary and guarantee salvation no matter what sin you commit after you've been initially saved... &lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; says These are False Teachers who are TWICE DEAD... meaning they were dead in sin, then born again, then died again by virtue of their apostasy (&lt;font size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; 12)&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040" size=3&gt;Your security is totally dependent on your faithfulness and obedience to &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;. Like a Faithful and Obedient Bride. This is what is meant when &lt;font color="#ff8000" size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; says &amp;quot;Keeping yourself&amp;quot; (&lt;font color="#ff8000" size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; 3). What it boils down to is &lt;font color="#ff8000" size=3&gt;Yahudah&lt;/font&gt; says You must not stray from the words of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; and &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; by listening to the words of False Teachers who rail at Angels, deny &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s authority (in giving the Law) and contradict &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;'s teachings, these false teachers boast of their own accomplishments and give assurances that &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s grace will protect them from the penalty of their sins after the initial salvation.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size=3&gt;So &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; and Paul have very different beliefs about Moshe and the Law.&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; condemns Paul for the undermining of Moshe's Inspiration. If you accept Paul's religion then you have undermined the very authority necessary to trust &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Joh 5:46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. &lt;br&gt;Joh 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?&lt;/font&gt;                &lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;If Paul is correct about the Angels and them giving the Law to Moshe...Then &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;'s words make no sense and the key to &lt;em&gt;truly know and trust&lt;/em&gt; in &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; is destroyed. Some thing is terribly wrong with church tradition and that does include Paul.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0080" size=4&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Contradicts &lt;/em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff"&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font face=Tahoma size=3&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; stressed the validity of the Law up through the passing of the Heavens and the Earth. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Mat 5:17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. &lt;br&gt;Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Till heaven and earth pass away&lt;/strong&gt;, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; can never be accused of leading or seducing anyone away from the law. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Deu 13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he hath spoken rebellion against &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;to draw thee aside out of the way which &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; your Elohim commanded thee to walk in.&lt;/font&gt; So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Another interesting fact... &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; or &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; never specified the Commandments/Law was for Jews only... this is another lie that was started by Paul and carried through the ages faithfully by christianity.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Mat 5:19 &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments&lt;/font&gt;, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Lev 24:22 &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;Ye shall have one manner of law, as well&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;for the sojourner, as for the home-born&lt;/font&gt;: for I am &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; your Elohim&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;There is no requirements to be Jewish and the law did not lose its importance with the death of &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;... These are more of Paul's Falsehoods.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; just says: &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Joh 14:15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Many will argue about what commandments &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; gave... Perhaps the following will answer everyone's questions...&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Joh 8:57 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? &lt;br&gt;Joh 8:58&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, &lt;font color="#ff8080"&gt;I am&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;So it was &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; who gave the Law to Moshe... It is &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;'s Law/Commandments.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80c0" size=5&gt;Christianity has NO EXCUSE&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#80ffff" size=3&gt;Christianity has some very difficult decisions that must be made very soon. To follow &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; and abandon the False Prophet/Apostle or continue it's current heretical path of apostasy&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;What About Paul's Pro-Law Statements?&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;Messianic believers follow the law except for animal sacrifice. In order to bridge the connection to christianity Messianics like to cite a few verses from Paul to prove he did not abrogate the entire law.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;Some of these are: &lt;font color="#00ff00"&gt;Rom 3:31 ... we establish the law. Rom 7:12 So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;They will even cite the self-contradictory verse: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; &lt;font color="#80ff80"&gt;&lt;em&gt;but the keeping of the commandments of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Paul is quoted by Luke by saying: &lt;font color="#00ff00"&gt;Act 24:14 ..., so serve I the Elohim of our fathers, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;em&gt;retaining my belief in all points of the la&lt;/em&gt;w&lt;/font&gt;...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#8000ff" size=3&gt;Using these little snippets can be very misleading and does not explain Paul's thoughts about the Law or his preaching against it. Paul's randomly compliments the Laws good nature but it does not mean much. We all can speak kindly of the dead. Paul does not agree that the principles are more than dead letters and these compliments have no bearing.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#8000ff" size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00"&gt;Rom 7:6 &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;But now we have been discharged from the law&lt;/font&gt;, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, &lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;and not in oldness of the letter&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Paul uses his prowess in deception in a verse we need to examine a lot closer...&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Paul says that circumcision is nothing but keeping the commandments is everything.... This is self-contradictory. If you are a believer you already know that circumcision is a commandment. Now here's the deception... He is leading the pro-Law believers to his side by sounding like he is pro-Law. The Messianics are still taken in by Paul to this day. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=5&gt;Paul created a huge stumblingblock for all believers and especially Jews.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The Jews that believed in &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; and were pro-law called considered heretics by Paul (the sentiment still abides today). Paul claims that Jewish believers who were still obedient to the Law were abiding in the curse (the Law). Paul said they were severed from &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; and that &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; will profit them nothing. They are bound to keep the whole law. Paul calls them cursed and anathema because they bring &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;another gospel&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;that is not Paul's&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. They actually were holding the truth and Paul could not afford his worshippers to be exposed to them.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The Jews stopped coming to &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; as their atonement not because &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; hardened their hearts as Paul said...&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00" size=3&gt;Rom 11:7 What then? that which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: &lt;br&gt;Rom 11:8 according as it is written, &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size=4&gt;The true stumblingblock was the one Paul alone created... it is his brand of christianity and his requirement that they had to give up the Commandments of &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;. They had to accept him as a prophet even though he violated &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s laws and taught others to do it. He sought to seduce them away from &lt;font color="#8080ff" size=3&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s Laws&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000" size=4&gt;Paul in Romans 7 clearly said the Jews were released from from the law and were now free to remarry another Jesus who had ended the Law.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#80ffff" size=3&gt;In Acts 21, Ya'acov (James- Brother of &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;) was the Bishop of Jerusalem and heard that Paul was creating stumblingblocks for the conversion of the Jews, and Ya'acov tried to prevent it. He tells Paul that he is aware of a rumor of Paul's works, but he is not yet aware the rumors are true. He asks Paul for assurance that Paul is not an apostate heretic from the Law. Ya'acov tells Paul that believers must still be circumcised. He tells Paul what is at stake and that myriads of Jews were coming to &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;... however they are hearing from Paul that they must give up the Law...including circumcision. Ya'acov's outlook is that both Jew and Gentile were to form one congregation, but only the Jews were obliged to circumcision.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#80ffff" size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff00"&gt;Paul's response to Ya'acov was well guarded and he did not reveal his true teachings. He purposely misled Ya'acov and the Jerusalem Council on what he taught.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#80ffff" size=3&gt;Paul corrupted the New Covenant that was promised... so as to expel the Law  and observant Jews&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=3&gt;Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Paul created a distorted image of what the New Covenant really represented. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; taught to add the New in a way that preserves both old and new...&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Mat 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt; &lt;font size=3&gt;But Paul's message became associated with &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt;. Christianity teaching came to view that Paul's New replaced the old. But that Doctrine violates Deu 13:5  and Jer 31:31.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Paul's apostasy became legitimate justification for Jews to view &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; as an apostate from the Law. In Rabbinical Literature the rejection of &lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=4&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/font&gt; is based upon Deu 13:5 as the Jews were commanded to follow.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color="#ff80ff" size=5&gt;Christianity really has no idea what severe damage has been done to the Jews through Paul's rejection of &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s authority and christianity has not a clue of the path of destruction it has been on since it adopted Paul's doctrine as a replacement for &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt;'s. If any hearts have been hardened... it has been the hearts of christianity against the Commandments of Yahu'sha/&lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; and even rejecting &lt;font color="#8080ff"&gt;YHUH&lt;/font&gt; himself.&lt;/font&gt;

Man is a man, not a boy. YAHUAH has set forth a clear, substantive, and causative difference; and a man should, according to His holy design, preserve that difference – for his wife's sake, for the sake of his children, for the sake of YAHUAH's kingdom and His creation, for the sake of society, and for the sake of truth. Let a man proclaim: Wear the beard men! YAHUAH has set it upon your jaw. Preserve it. Uphold it. Let His distinctive identifying mark upon you be in harmony with His glory, His creation, and His purpose.  &lt;p&gt;Will a beard make a man? Not necessarily. But, a beard unmistakably tells others he is a man. A sign outside a building lets one know what kind of business is inside; but it does not necessarily reveal the character or quality of the business. And if a man is not capable of even growing a beard, he is no less a man. He too should equally accept the distinctive way YAHUAH has made him (just as the man who can grow a beard should accept the way he is made). Again, what has YAHUAH shown in nature but diversity and acceptance? The raven and the dove do not lament that they have not a showy appearance over their mates. Likewise, there are whole groups of people who cannot grow beards. But that is alright. The point is – men should accept YAHUAH's individual design for them. His prevailing testimony, both in nature and in men, is that the man is to have a more striking appearance, which included a beard. Frankly, there is something to be said for the man who grows a scraggly, thin, or patchy beard and seeks to honor YAHUAH's unique and complete creation of him, when other men who can grow a robust beard remove it daily.  &lt;p&gt;Men who have lesser beards should wear them proudly. The sparrow does not lament that he does not have the splendor of a peacock. The quail does not grieve that his colors do not match that of the pheasant. The dog does not sulk that he does not possess the mane of the lion. We should accept the beard YAHUAH has given us, and wear it, groom it, let it be distinctive; not for what others have, but for what each of us has been given by YAHUAH. Small or great, patchy or full, we should acceptingly wear the beard; it is YAHUAH's own distinctive design for each of us individually.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;RESPECT AND INTIMACY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;A groomed beard is the only proper appearance for a YAHUAHly man. In the Greek, the word &amp;quot;YAHUAHly,” as used in 2 Peter 1:6-7 and other verses, actually means – to honor others by one's actions. It does not mean – YAHUAH-like. It was used to describe Greek children who honored their parents by what they did. Likewise, we honor YAHUAH and respect His design when we wear and groom the beard. Wearing the beard is YAHUAHly – honoring YAHUAH our Creator who made men with a beard. It is His order for men’s faces, not fair skin like women or boys.  &lt;p&gt;The beard, by the will and design of YAHUAH, is a mark of respect and intimacy. One can never know this truth unless they have grown a full beard – one which can be grasped with the hand. The Scriptures certainly assign this honor, affection, and respect of the beard. In the story of Joab and Amasa (2 Samuel 20:9-13), we find that Joab grasped Amasa's beard in a gesture of respect. Verse nine says: &amp;quot;And Joab said to Amasa, 'Is it well with you, my brother?' And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.&amp;quot;    &lt;p&gt;Though this gesture of good was used by Joab to deceive Amasa and make him vulnerable to him, whereby he killed him, it nonetheless reveals the honor and respect that was given to the beard. Throughout the Scriptures, the beard is respected. It has been a point of honor and intimacy.  &lt;p&gt;David drew from that intimacy to explain a very pleasant relationship. He said, &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!&amp;quot; What is that pleasantness like?&lt;/em&gt; The beard is a fitting expression.&lt;em&gt; &amp;quot;It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes&amp;quot; (Psalm 133:1-2). &lt;/em&gt; &lt;p&gt;There have been precious, memorable moments when my children have intimately clasped my beard and stroked it in affection and love. I can tell you personally that their loving gesture is deeply satisfying. It is like warm oil! Children cannot show this same act of affection to mother, sister, or young brother. It is uniquely and especially for father. But men have been robbed of this fulfilling and appropriate exchange. They can only be touched on the cheek like a woman or a boy. And even then, the little ones just say – &amp;quot;scratchy!&amp;quot; Scratchy? No thanks, I'll take the beard!  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;“IN HIS OWN IMAGE”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let us further examine this matter of the man being made in the image of YAHUAH. &lt;em&gt;Genesis 1:26-27 state: “Then&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;YAHUAH said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness ....' And YAHUAH created the man in His Own image, in the image of YAHUAH He created him; male and female He created them.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; It should be noted here that “the man” was made &amp;quot;in our image,&amp;quot; in the image of the triune YAHUAH. Since YAHUASHUA has a beard (Isaiah 50:6), and He is &amp;quot;the image of the invisible YAHUAH&amp;quot; (Colossians 1:15, 2 Corinthians 4:4), it can equally be stated that YAHUAH the Father has a beard. Yes, &amp;quot;YAHUAH is Spirit,” but the Bible also talks about His back, His hands, His feet, His eyes. Can He not also have a beard? Indeed so, for the Son of YAHUAH has a beard!  &lt;p&gt;Likewise, it is simple to reason that if the man is made in the image of YAHUAH, conversely YAHUAH has a beard. All paintings throughout history confirmingly represent Him as bearded. Since YAHUAH has a beard, He shared His image with the man and created Him to likewise wear it. Since YAHUAH shared His image with the man, for this cause alone a man seeking to glorify YAHUAH should be compelled to wear what He has personally shared with him. Gillette and Norelco are cheap and shameful escapes from the image YAHUAH bears and uniquely shared with the man.  &lt;p&gt;YAHUAH is a father, not a mother. He is masculine, not feminine. He is the head, and headship is passed down with the image that He shares – to His Son, and then to the man. Headship, as laid out in 1 Corinthians 11:3, begins with  YAHUAH and ends with the man. Headship does not extend to the woman, because she is not the image of our Heavenly Father. 1 Corinthians 11:7 specifically states that the man &amp;quot;is the image and glory of YAHUAH; but the woman is the glory of man.&amp;quot; The woman is not the image of man; she is not the shared image of YAHUAH; but she came from the man to make the man complete – not to compete. &lt;p&gt;In Genesis 1:27 in the New American Standard, the word &amp;quot;the&amp;quot; that is in the phrase – &amp;quot;YAHUAH created the man” – is not in the printed text; but it very significantly does exist in the original Hebrew and is thus inserted here. Likewise, in Genesis 9:6 YAHUAH spoke to Noah, affirming: &amp;quot;for in the image of YAHUAH He made the man.&amp;quot; This is an important distinction. It was &amp;quot;the man&amp;quot; who was created first, not a man and a woman. Granted, all of mankind was in Adam, as Eve was in Adam; but Adam was created a man in the image of YAHUAH. It was &amp;quot;the man&amp;quot; who needed a helper &amp;quot;corresponding to&amp;quot; but not replacing him (Genesis 2:18). This important original text phrase – &amp;quot;the man&amp;quot; – with the definite article &amp;quot;the,” was accurately translated in numerous verses afterwards: Genesis 2:8, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25; 3:8, 9, 12, 20, 22, 24; 4:1. It was &amp;quot;the man&amp;quot; who was communing, walking, working on the earth. &amp;quot;The man&amp;quot; clearly identified a man, not a &amp;quot;male and female,&amp;quot; but – a man.  &lt;p&gt;YAHUAH created “the man&amp;quot; in &amp;quot;His own image, in the image of YAHUAH He created him, ....&amp;quot; The word &amp;quot;him&amp;quot; is very significantly singular, not plural – YAHUAH created Adam, a man, in His image. Then added separately, the Scriptures go on to say: &amp;quot;male and female He created them.&amp;quot; It does not say: &amp;quot;YAHUAH created male and female in His own image.&amp;quot; When He made the man, the woman (meaning - &amp;quot;taken out of man,&amp;quot; Genesis 2:23) was in the side of the man. &amp;quot;Male and female He created them,” but not until after He first made the man, conformed to His own father image.  &lt;p&gt;Men are not &amp;quot;in the image of YAHUAH&amp;quot; when they shave their beards. They become a confusing, distorted mixture – partly in the image of YAHUAH who made them, and partly in the image of the woman who came out of the man. Instead of being clearly identifiable bearded men, they are a woeful mix – woe-men! Men are no longer “in &lt;b&gt;His&lt;/b&gt; own image,” but take on the distorted, self-designed appearance of “in &lt;b&gt;his&lt;/b&gt; own image,” an image that man fashions of his own creating. Woe-men should quit sending mixed signals! YAHUAH distinctly forbids it, as in dress and hair length. Men should be absolute, not persuaded by the fashions or expectations of a corrupted society, but wear the beard He has given them from His fatherly image.  &lt;p&gt;Very interestingly and most significantly, starting in Genesis, the first five instances in which the word &amp;quot;image&amp;quot; (meaning – to form a likeness) is used, four of these instances state that YAHUAH has made the man in the likeness of Himself. Four is the number which denotes YAHUAH's creation. And thus, YAHUAH gives testimony to the creation of the man in His image. The fifth usage of the word &amp;quot;image&amp;quot; in Genesis 5:3, replicates this &amp;quot;image&amp;quot; process from men to men: “When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth [who was in the ancestry of &lt;strong&gt;Yahu'sha&lt;/strong&gt; – Luke 3:38].&amp;quot; Note that it does not state that Adam produced in his own likeness his daughters; no, it was his son Seth. His daughters were in the likeness of Eve, his wife.  &lt;p&gt;Five is the number for grace or YAHUAH's goodness. By YAHUAH's grace and goodness, He continues to share His image with men – from Adam, to Seth, to YAHUASHUA, and on to men today. Interestingly, it is the man's chromosomes that determine the gender of children. The woman has no influence at all on this. The male sex chromosome possesses the determining &amp;quot;x-y&amp;quot; factor; while the female chromosome possesses a nondescript &amp;quot;x-x&amp;quot; factor. Upon fertilization, the woman's egg can only share an &amp;quot;x&amp;quot; component, while the man's sperm can contribute either the &amp;quot;x,&amp;quot; which will produce a daughter, or the &amp;quot;y,&amp;quot; which will produce a son. To the son he gives his own chromosomal image. To the daughter he gives the woman's image.  &lt;p&gt;Now back to the Scripture's use of the word image. Throughout the remainder of the Old Testament, the word &amp;quot;image&amp;quot; finds an entirely new usage. No longer does it give testimony to YAHUAH's plan to share His image with the man; but instead, in the remaining eighty-six usages of this word, it now solely denotes man's attempt to alter and recast His image into perversions and replacements – in other words, man began to make and worship images created by himself! Today men do the same. The man, who was made in YAHUAH's image, seeks again to alter His image to conform to the fair-skinned woman who was created from man. &lt;b&gt;Man continues striving to become like (to worship) the created, and not the Creator. &lt;/b&gt;This is idolatrous to YAHUAH who has affectionately and purposefully shared His glorious image and likeness with the man. Instead of being the distinct &amp;quot;x-y&amp;quot; image YAHUAH created, man became a mutation with the &amp;quot;x-x&amp;quot; image which came from him.  &lt;p&gt;The most compelling argument in favor of men wearing a beard is the fact that it is YAHUAH who placed the beard on man, a reflection of His own image. Man does not go to a fashion store and purchase one, nor does he buy seeds to sprout one, nor does he go to a plastic surgeon and have it added to his face. A beard is not the creation of man. In fact, for a man to not have a beard, he must daily resist YAHUAH’s creation. Daily he must remove what is YAHUAH's persistent will.  &lt;p&gt;Men have beards not because it is something they add to their face. It is a natural, YAHUAH-given identifying feature specifically for the man. When a man does not have a beard, he must daily alter his face, YAHUAH’s image, in order to keep from having it. What is more natural than having a beard? What is more fitting with YAHUAH's creation from the beginning than having a beard? What is more in keeping with the order of YAHUAH than having a beard? What is more consistent with the image YAHUAH has shared with “the man” than having a beard? To be otherwise must be the creation of idolatrous man, not of YAHUAH! Man, by his own hand, becomes a woe-man!  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MOVE OVER  LADIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;(How to abandon creation)  &lt;p&gt;In the Beginning YAHUAH made man, in His very own image according to His plan .  &lt;p&gt;Of sinew strong and features stark, of ruddy appearance man was not to depart! &lt;p&gt;His face was covered with hair unlike his head, but course and strong to match his stead.  &lt;p&gt;His eyes were framed within this mass, and his stern jaw was covered from lad and lass. &lt;p&gt;Out of the man the woman was made; fair and frail her image was laid.  &lt;p&gt;But man to the woman his image he slew, when by razor and clothing his appearance he made anew.  &lt;p&gt;The point of this poem is very clear, for shaving a man from ear to ear,  &lt;p&gt;Is like saying to our Creator – &amp;quot;I don't like how I'm made!  &lt;p&gt;So move over ladies and pass me the blade!&amp;quot;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;FOLLOWING THE WORLD’S WAYS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;Despite Paul's warning to &amp;quot;not be conformed to this world&amp;quot; (Romans 12:2), the world has often regrettably set the course for the Christian's face, hair, and dress. Joseph naively gave himself to the world after being Egypt's slave and prisoner for thirteen years. In the Scriptures, Egypt represents the place of bondage and curse. It was in Egypt where, four generations earlier, great-great-grandfather Abraham jeopardized his wife, and acquired Sarah's Egyptian maid, Hagar, who concubined the son of the flesh – Ishmael. Now, likewise in Egypt, Joseph was also adversely impacted by his abode in &amp;quot;the world.&amp;quot; He conformed to being like them by shaving his head and beard and dressing like the Egyptians. &lt;em&gt;In Genesis 41:14 we read: “Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had &lt;b&gt;shaved himself&lt;/b&gt; and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.&amp;quot; &lt;/em&gt;The Hebrew word for &amp;quot;shaved&amp;quot; means – to be bald. In most cases in its usage, it means to shave the head; but in other instances it was applied to &amp;quot;balding&amp;quot; the face as well.  &lt;p&gt;The Egyptians fittingly had such a disdain for YAHUAH's created hair that daily, wealthy men and women visited barbers who shaved and plucked the hair from their balded heads and face. &amp;quot;Hair was not only shunned but it was considered evil.... Egyptian priests had their heads and entire bodies shaved at least three times a week&amp;quot; (&lt;i&gt;The Long And Short of It&lt;/i&gt;, by Bill Severn, pp. 22, 23). Such was the world this bearded Hebrew conformed to – not only in baldness but also in dress. His identity with Egypt led to other transgressions – taking an Egyptian wife, entering into the occult practice of divination (Genesis 44:5, 15), and intentionally misleading, lying to, and deceiving his brothers as he further altered his appearance. In fact, his appearance was so altered that his own family could not recognize him, though he talked face to face with them – bare-faced to bearded-faced! Joseph had conformed to Egypt, their soon-to-be captors!  &lt;p&gt;I have a friend who, like Joseph, shaved his beard. In fact, his name is Joseph. As with so many others, he too at one time was concerned that his beard created an &amp;quot;image&amp;quot; that he was afraid would interfere with his worldly success. Also, he did not think it &amp;quot;looked good&amp;quot; on him, so he shaved it off. I shared this with another friend who responded – &amp;quot;he is trusting in the flesh, rather than faith.&amp;quot; So true! He was relying on his conformity to the world to produce his success, and not on humbling himself before YAHUAH who would exalt him through His ways and plans. My friend was overcome by his lower nature of vanity (as so many are), being more concerned about how he appeared before other vain men and women, thereby becoming like them. Shaving the beard is most often a vain decision. Men who will not wear a beard because it makes them look older or less attractive are simply giving themselves over to pitiful vanity! (However, my friend did later become very convicted that wearing the beard was not a choice, and now wears it out of conviction.)  &lt;p&gt;When shaving the beard for worldly promotion and acceptance, one relies upon the flesh, both literally and figuratively. Isn’t it interesting that it is indeed the flesh that a man misguidingly presents upon removing the beard? Every man must thus choose whether he will daily work at removing the covering YAHUAH has placed upon his flesh, and trust in self for promotion; or rest from his daily works and yield to that which YAHUAH has placed on the man's face, trusting in Him for promotion, success, acceptance, and, if necessary, a new job. A man who daily labors to keep the beard off does so by works; while a man who ceases from that daily labor enters into YAHUAH's rest – with the glorious results of a YAHUAH-honoring beard!  &lt;p&gt;It seems appropriate to ask a simple question at this point: Are we to conform our lives to the standard of worldly acceptance and reward, or do we conform our lives to the plan and design of YAHUAH? The beard – this unique visible point of acceptance and trust – can be the building block for further faith and trust in YAHUAH! The natural always precedes the spiritual (1 Corinthians 15:46), and this one important natural act of accepting His beard can precede and produce added spiritual yieldedness and growth. It can be a constant, important, physical reminder of an important spiritual truth – to not trust in the flesh but in YAHUAH who made us. &amp;quot;YAHUAH has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and YAHUAH has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised, YAHUAH has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man [Lit. – flesh] should boast before YAHUAH&amp;quot; (1 Corinthians 1:27-29). The beard in our society may seem base (though, thankfully, less so today; and not without meaning), but YAHUAH will use it as a point of spiritual growth – to cover the &amp;quot;flesh&amp;quot; in our life.  &lt;p&gt;What the Egyptians did for Joseph, the Greco-Romans have accomplished for man today. It is the Greeks who have most influenced the beard's removal. Let us quote at length from the book &lt;i&gt;Apologia Dome. Apologia De Barbis&lt;/i&gt;, edited by RB. C. Huygens (pp. 58, 59).  &lt;p&gt;In Greek society, hair-style was an important aspect of liminality [the transitional phase in social status], especially during the period between youth and adulthood, when young men all shared the characteristics of their age group. The offering of cut hair to a YAHUAH was a form of thank offering or dedication through which the YAHUAH acquired some power over the person whose hair was offered. Hair was regarded as a source of life in Roman society and was cut at the approach of death. The traditional tearing of hair as a sign of grief was &amp;quot;the first offering or sacrifice to the dead&amp;quot; and has been seen by some scholars &amp;quot;as a substitute for blood and human sacrifice.&amp;quot;  &lt;p&gt;The beard in particular was a sign of age and physical maturity. It marked the borderline both between boys and men and between men and the YAHUAHs, who never grew old. Alexander's shaving of his beard, which inaugurated a long period of beardlessness in the Greco-Roman world, may have been inspired by his desire for the appearance of perpetual youth associated with the YAHUAHs. In ancient Greek society, the growth of a beard marked the end of the stage when a boy might legitimately be the object of sexual advances from an older man. It was also the distinction between the two major categories of performers, the juniors and the adults, in the Games. The custom of shaving was introduced at Rome probably in the third century BC.  &lt;p&gt;For chronology sake, we will insert a portion from &lt;i&gt;The Long And Short of It&lt;/i&gt;, by Bill Severn, pp. 28-29. This quote gives us further insight about the accepted styles during the time of YAHUASHUA and the early church.  &lt;p&gt;Shaving was so customary by the time Cicero was delivering his orations in the 1st century BC that senators with &amp;quot;five-o'clock shadow&amp;quot; were turned away from the senate and refused their seats until they visited the barber. Caesar, it was said, went unshaven only once, during a vow to let his beard grow until he avenged a military defeat. Caligula, who became emperor in the year 37, sometimes wore a false beard of gold [as did the Egyptians]. Nero, who came to power a decade later, made a public ceremony of dedicating his beard to the YAHUAHs, presenting it at the temple in a small casket covered with jewels.  &lt;p&gt;The Greco-Roman society has unquestionably had the greatest influence of any other society on man today – in government, in art, in architecture, in language, in literature, in thought, and, yes, in the clean-shaven image. But the early church rejected this YAHUAHs-worshipping vain appearance. Instead, they accepted the design of their Creator. Let us continue this quote from &lt;i&gt;Apologia Dome&lt;/i&gt;.  &lt;p&gt;Beards thus came into the Christian world with a heavy baggage of pre-historic and classical symbolism, of which the Church Fathers were not unaware. Lactantius in the &lt;i&gt;De opificio Dei&lt;/i&gt; wrote, &amp;quot;It is incredible how much the reason of beard (barbae ratio) confers, either for distinguishing the maturity of bodies, or for differentiating the sexes, or for adorning virility and strength.&amp;quot; The beard for Epiphanius was &amp;quot;the proper form of man,” and for Clement, the sign of his superiority to woman. In Augustine's &lt;i&gt;De civitate Dei&lt;/i&gt; the fact that beards served &amp;quot;not for protection but for manly adornment&amp;quot; was evidence that some things were placed on the body for decoration rather than for use. These texts helped to establish the basic Christian view of beards, in both East and West, as the natural mark of manhood, both in a general and in a specifically sexual sense. According to a medieval proverb, &amp;quot;A beard suites a man.&amp;quot;  &lt;p&gt;To specifically examine what the early church fathers did say about removing the beard, let us quote from the book, &lt;i&gt;Why I Wear A Beard&lt;/i&gt;, by William R. Mc Grath, pp. 15-16. Here he quotes the early church fathers.  &lt;p&gt;From Clement of Alexandria (ca. 190 AD): &amp;quot;Men are also infected with the disease of vanity.... But for those who are men to shave and smooth themselves; how ignoble! ... how womanly! For YAHUAH wished women to be smooth, and rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane; but has adorned man, like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him, as an attribute of manhood, with hairy chest – a sign this of strength and rule. This, then, the mark of the man, the beard, by which he is seen to be a man, is older than Eve, and is the token of the superior nature.... It is therefore impious to desecrate the symbol of manhood, hairiness. But the embellishment of smoothing (for I am warned by the word), if it is to attract men, is the act of an effeminate person, if to attract woman is the act of an adulterer; and both must be driven as far as possible from our society. 'But the very hairs of your head are all numbered,' says the Lord; those on the chin, too, are numbered .... For it is not lawful to pluck out the beard, man's natural and noble ornament.”  &lt;p&gt;From Tertullian (160-220 AD): &amp;quot;Are there then, some things that to men are also not permissible, if we are YAHUAH-fearing, and have a due regard for gravity? There are indeed .... My own sex recognizes some tricks of beauty which are peculiarly ours, for example, to cut the beard too sharply, to pluck it out in places; to shave round about the corners; to arrange the hair and conceal grayness by dyes .... But all these tricks are rejected by (Christians) as being frivolous and hostile to modesty, as soon as the knowledge of YAHUAH has destroyed the wish to please.&amp;quot;  &lt;p&gt;From Cyprian (195-258 AD): who was writing of the reasons for apostasy among the churches, mention is made of a worldliness among church members which led them to have &amp;quot;no discipline in manners. Men defaced their beards (or wore their beards disfigured), and the beauty of women was a (painted) counterfeit. Their eyes were changed from what YAHUAH had made them, and a lying color was placed upon the hair.&amp;quot; &lt;p&gt;From Lactantius (240-320 AD), we read a condemnation of the effete and effeminate walk, dress and appearance of the worldly men and a defense of the beard for Christians: “The nature of the beard contributes in an incredible degree to distinguish the maturity of bodies, to the distinction of sex, and to the beauty of manliness and strength; so that it appears that the system of the whole (body) would not have been in agreement if anything had been made otherwise than it is.”  &lt;p&gt;As in the words of YAHUASHUA to a hardened world concerning divorce, we see that, though men of YAHUAH shave today, &amp;quot;from the beginning it has not been this way&amp;quot; (Matthew 19:8). The early church had a single-hearted resistance to effeminatizing the man by vainly removing YAHUAH's appointed beard. But due to division of heart between the vanity of this world and YAHUAH's design, man has defaced his appearance. One must choose whether
