The Torah portion this week, called “Vaetchanan” in the Hebrew (Deuteronomy 3:11-7:11) is SO central to an understanding of why a return to the REAL teachings of the Messiah, Yahushua HaMashiach, is very literally a matter of Life and Death, that Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa thought it should be linked under the title that, while it might seem controversial, is also undeniable:

His Mama NEVER Called Him ‘jesus’.

It’s not about ‘vowel pointers,’ or pronunciation, or even language. It’s about whether we can even distinguish the Real from the fake.

He IS, the “Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” How much MORE so the “Torah Made Flesh” Himself!

Note: This is a direct link to the midrash itself. For those that would like to hear the entire presentation, which begins with a summary and reading of the Torah portion, the weekly link includes that one. If this is helpful to your understanding, and the reason WHY we do what we do, as He commands us, please share it.
