I don't get it. :/

Along the same train of thought as my last entry, I just don't get why people don't get it. Seriously, the things that YHWH has shown me in His Word over the last few years seem so clear when you read some key verses that I have always skipped over my whole life because I didn't understand them (and everyone I knew also skipped over them), but now all of the pieces seem to fit, and the ENTIRE bible just makes sense. It is amazing and exciting every single day!!!!

So why doesn't everyone see what I see when I show them these same verses?

I am learning to accept that I cannot remove the veil of blindness, only the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) can do that. And I have experienced that for myself, having learned some very important Truths without hearing the teachings of man until *after* the Ruach showed me these things.

But still, even though I KNOW that I am powerless to change others, I still just can't wrap my brain around it. I mean, it is right there in black and white, even in English it makes sense, in most versions. And there are many others (few in comparison, but still many) who have been shown the exact same things, yet most do not see it. I just don't get it. I do, but I don't.

One of my brothers replied to an email I had sent him this past week as a follow-up to our conversation back in June, discussing these Truths of Scripture. I didn't go into detail, partly because the email would have been a novel if I had, but also I wanted him to look these things up for himself. Well, his response was not even any words of his own, he just copy-pasted some articles about how the "law" is bondage and we are not supposed to be "under the law". Seriously?! I asked him if he even studied it for himself or if he just looked up these articles to support the false doctrines we've always been taught. He said (through the articles) that we are in a cult. Right. So, we are the ones reading the bible *for ourselves* and NOT following any one teacher or set of doctrines, but he is sitting and being spoon-fed by his pastor every week, and we're the ones who are in a cult? Hmmm......

I cried for a long while on that one. He just doesn't see it and isn't really trying, and I can't comprehend that.

Also this past week, I had a very lengthy "discussion" with a lady on FB. She accused me of all kinds of things (lovely Christian "love" going around), but ironically she is the one who was misinterpreting Scripture, not me. I used to believe as she did, but now I see the ENTIRE bible as one Truth! This is something I wrote on my status near the end of that several day discussion (on someone else's page).

YHWH's plan was never changed by Yeshua's life and death on earth. He didn't wake up one morning and say, "I'm sick and tired of my chosen people. I think I'll start a new religion and just let them do whatever the heck they want, that way I don't have to deal with this sin crap anymore." SMH

This was one of the Truths that the Ruach showed me. I asked myself, "If Jews and Christians serve the same God, then why do they worship Him in two completely different ways?" I sought out the answer and found the Truth, His Truth, and everything just started falling in place. No more confusing doctrines that contradict each other! Now I'm learning about things I never even thought about before, moving on to the real meat!

Even though some of these people (not all) really baffle me and even frustrate me at times, it is ironically teaching me how to love people more, regardless of their beliefs. The Ruach is showing me that He will reveal the Truth to some and not to others, so they just truly don't see it. I can't imagine that, but I know that it is true. I have no idea why He chose to reveal His Truths to little ol' imperfect ME, but I am so grateful and so humbled that He has.

So we will continue to learn new things every day (seriously, every day) and grow in our love and excitement to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, and if others don't "get it", I will love them anyway and pray for them. I so wish that the Ruach would lift the veil from everyone's eyes, but the choice is His, and I don't have to understand it. I am learning to accept it. And someday when we go back to the Land (promised land), I will be ready to leave everyone behind. I'm getting the hurt out of the way now, so when the time comes for the 2nd / Greater Exodus, or before, if the Ruach has us leave before then, I will have no doubts that my family and friends are just still blinded, and there is absolutely nothing I can do. I just pray the veil is lifted from many more before that time comes.

It is feeling more and more like a wilderness all the time.

Just consider one thing......what if what YOU believe is wrong? Just what if? We have always been taught to accept what our leaders tell us, and not to question them. I have learned to question *everything*, and my life has been flipped upside down, for the better! Please open your eyes. Please wake up. Please seek the Truth of Scriptures, not from anyone else, but from the Ruach HaKodesh. He will lift the veil if you allow Him to.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

I truly do love you all! <3
