Another Sabbath day and I'm thankful for the rest from hiking. After every Sabbath day I can feel my legs getting stronger and my knee pain lessening, I'm not having to use my knee brace at all any more. Other hikers talk about taking pain medication like candy, while my Heavenly Father takes my pain away just by following His commandments.This hostel is a neat place, they have really done a lot to accommodate hikers and they also have quite a lot of food to fix and eat here or for resupply. They have a bunk house with a wood stove that sleeps fourteen and many more can tent in the yard. It has an open air kitchen, a place to do laundry the old fashion way with sinks and a wash board. It has a cloths dryer, a computer to check email or other internet needs, a fire ring with benches, a hot shower, and a privy all for hikers.Food recipe for the week. - Cook in one quart of salted boiling water, a half box or bag of Tortellini pasta (about one cup volume) following cooking instructions, add 2-4 oz. powdered milk, add one package each of Knorr Alfredo and Pesto sauce mix and one oz. of olive oil. Continue simmering and stirring until thickened, add more water if needed. This meal is over 600 calories. And now the Scripture verses and thought for the week. It seems that today's follower of Yahshua is playing a spiritual game of Russian Roulette. They pretend that that the Old Testament is an expired Testament and that they only have the New Testament and only two Commandments to follow. They say that when Yahshua came and died He took away the ten and left us only two laws to follow. The first, to love Yahweh with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. The second, to love thy neighbor as thy self. The problem is, in this game of Russian roulette the gun only has one empty chamber. They are betting their soul that Yahweh, Yahshua and all the other writers of the New Testament really didn't say what they meant. If you do a computer search of the King James New Testament looking for two words, (keep and command) including partial words (commands, commandment and commandments), you will find many places where we are told to keep His Commandments. But most think it is talking about only the two. But what if when Yahshua said these two Commandments, it wasn't something new He was saying, but he was only quoting from the Old Testament? In the book of Matthew 22:40, He said himself, "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets," pointing back to the Old Testament law and commandments. Deuteronomy 6:5 "And thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Leviticus 19:18 "...but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am Yahweh." We can not show our love for our Heavenly Father without keeping or while breaking the first four commandments, and we can not love our neighbor and break the last six commandments. To obey is better than to sacrifice. Yahshua also said in Matthew 5:18-19 "For verily I say unto you. Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be call the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." In the book of Isaiah 24:5-6 "The earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left." This is not talking about something that happened in the past, this is to come. And the curse is that of Leviticus 26:14-39. You can read what will happen in the latter days to His people, not just the Jews but to the whole earth because we would not follow His commandments. Almost the entire book of Ezekiel is about what is to come, along with Matthew 24, and much of Revelation. The Old Testament has not expired and neither has His commandments or His law been changed....Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the SEVENTH day is the sabbath......one jot or or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law... ...Full well ye reject the commandment of Elohim, that ye may keep your own tradition...
