Did the Ten Commandments Precede Moses?

I have read an excellent article on this and felt I should share it. Enjoy. I should say though, as always, I do not use the terms God, Jesus etc., but rather Yahua (YHUH), Elohim, Yahushua, etc.

Where Did The Noah Flood Come From And Where Did It Go?

I came across a fascinating article recently which I feel must be shared - remember Noah's Flood? For a refresher please refer here:

Now the article - a new exciting discovery which supports the Bible (once again):

http://article.wn.com/view/2014/03/13/Rare_Diamond_Reveals_Earths_Interior_is_All_Wet/

I was impressed, hope you are too :-)

Now remember, two factors caused Noah's Flood as it states in Genesis 7:11 The Holy Scriptures, Jewish Publication Society "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of Shamayim (pw Heaven) were opened." 

I came across another interesting article which mentioned the possibility that the rain which came down in Noah's Flood came down from Shamayim (pw Heaven), as it says in Ezekiel 1:22 The Holy Scriptures, Jewish Publication Society "And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, like the colour of the terrible ice..." This is explained as being the frozen waters which were made as a firmament in Heaven by YHUH as it says in Genesis 1:1-8 "In the beginning YHUH created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of YHUH hovered over the face of the waters. And YHUH said "Let there be light". And there was light. And YHUH saw the light, that it was good; and YHUH divided the light from the darkness. And YHUH called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. And YHUH said "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And YHUH made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And YHUH called the firmament Shamayim (pw Heaven). And there was evening and there was morning, a second day."

Very interesting! So the article says that possibly, in the beginning YHUH stored the excess waters covering the earth as ice in Heaven. For Noah's Flood YHUH then allowed these waters to rain down to cover the earth once more and thereafter, possibly, YHUH stored them again to make the waters recede (as the continents thereafter drifted apart the water was possibly gulped down into the earth's mantle and further). YHUH promised never to do this again and the rainbow became a sign to us from then on. As there had not been a record of rainbows until this point this indicates some sort of change in the water balance in our atmosphere. I'm just mentioning different ideas, only YHUH knows everything :-)

The Camel Debate on Yahoo!

People today cannot help but see the latest Yahoo! articles posted weekly online. Yahoo! posted an article about camels not having been around in the days of the Bible Patriarchs, implying that this proves there are errors in the Bible. Refer to the article below:

http://world.time.com/2014/02/11/the-mystery-of-the-bibles-phantom-camels/

I beg to differ and have another link below which states the case:

http://bibleapologetics.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/were-camels-domesticated-in-the-time-of-abraham/

My view is that Abraham came into contact with the Egyptian Pharaoh and his palace - the Egyptians were renowned for animal "import" for the Pharaoh's entertainment and to show off his riches and power. Camels would very likely have been around and could have been given to Abraham as it states in:

Genesis 12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.  16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.  

Thereafter Abraham would have taken the camels with on his travels and handed them on to the subsequent generations when they bred. Mystery solved as far as I'm concerned.

What about Fido?

It has always bugged me since I was a small child - are animals just instinctive automatons which are soulless and therefore worthless and thus easily used and killed?

Some verses which deal with this question are as follows :

1 Cor 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But YHUH giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

There is a twinkle of hope in there somewhere I feel.

Animals were put here on earth for us to have dominion over but we have not done a very good job of managing Creation around us, as, in the Bible it states  :

Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 

Animals have a purpose in YHUH's creation - He notes when a sparrow falls, He instructs us to let the animals rest on Sabbath just as we do, all of Creation sings to the Creator, and animals have been used in many ways by God to help us, such as Balaam's talking donkey and the dog who licked Lazarus's sores to comfort him. Animals should not be treated as worthless but should be recognized more as YHUH's creations created for specific purposes, each with its own glory, even if it meant being used as a perfect unblemished sacrifice to YHUH.

A point to remember - YHUH's judgement falls on those who abuse Creation  :

Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Confusion in modern "Christian" Churches - what's going on?

Remember :

1 Cor 14:33 For YHUH is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Jewish and Christian misconceptions - what was really taught by YHUH (God)?

I have come across an excellent paper written by Philip Neal which explains very well the misconceptions which developed for Jews and Christians over the course of history:-)  It is very exhaustive but please make sure to read at least Appendix 4 subsequent to the paper.

Please note :  I do not agree with Pages 129 - 131 of Chapter Eight (last three pages of the paper) as I see this as a personal viewpoint with a bias which I feel does not fit in with the rest of the paper.  In addition, in Appendix Four, Page 196 I take exception to the paragraph "Before Jesus came in the flesh ... New Testament" as it implies Yahushua is YHUH (God) which I have written a previous article about.   The same concept is shown in Pg 222 "However, the Lord God of the Old Covenant ...Old Covenant marriage".   In Pages 201 and 237 of Appendix 4 there is mention of "laying on of hands" in relation to the receiving of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) which I am wary of considering that most of the modern churches today are lost and may not necessarily have the Ruach HaKodesh present in their church but rather a false spirit.  Perhaps the laying on of hands was more particular to the Apostles' time?  The Apostles themselves had the Ruach Hakodesh imparted to them in tongues of fire - it need not be restricted.

Anyway, please persist in reading the following, it explains plenty :

Why Yehoshua (Jesus) is not YHUH (God)

I have found two fairly good videos on this topic which are well worth watching (there are some points of argument such as what Yehoshua meant when he said "before Abraham was I am" - I believe he simply meant - I existed before Abraham, not that he was making mention of YHUH's name. Yehoshua is of the order of Melchizedek and Abraham was given a baruch (blessing) by Melchizedek who was greater than Abraham. Consider:

Psa 110:4 YHUH hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. 

Heb 7:1-10  For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high Elohim, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of YHUH; abideth a priest continually. 

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 

When the angels were created is another topic discussed below - it's debatable - small niggles but nothing major.)
