User:Dan J Love/"Mashal Judaism"

Mashal Judaism is a relatively new term coined by TSN ( The Sabbatarian Network ) for a much older and original form of Judaism that could/ can not be defined using previous or current terms and definitions due to misuse and bias. It is the contention of the followers of Mashal Judaism ( The Bnei HaMashalim ) that they are not a form of Christianity, a form of Messianic Judaism, Islam, Orthodox Judaism or any other form of Abrahamic or Judeo-religion. While there are some similarities to the major three Abrahamic religions, there is a significant departure from any known form of Judeo-religion, and no significant relationship to Islam other than intrinsically pure  monotheism; YHVH is singular ( one ), but YHVH is not Spiritually alone. There is no relationship to any 'Far Eastern Religion'.

Mashal Judaism has been defined on the pages of TSN, and by Shamar Briyth Communities online ( SBC Online and The Wheatfield Communities ) since 1999, as outlined below and on the TSN websites. Even so, Mashal Jews believe that they are a reawakening of the intended faith of Messiah Moses, as taught by Messiah Y'Shua ( Yeshua, Yahshua, Yehoshua, etc. . ) through the usage of parables, adages, allegories, anthropomorphisms, idioms, meshalisms/mashalisms, metaphors, psalms, and other forms of physical to Spiritual parallels prior to the defilement and corruption of said original faith by the uninspired (hellenized translators), and pagan oppression by the ancient cultures of Babylonian, Assyrian / Persian, Greek, and Roman nations, but not limited to these ancient nations. Mashal Jews believe that all Scripture, as well as the Apostolic Epistles are by design one-hundred percent figures of speech and/or physical examples of Spiritual truths, even when based on the lives of actual people and actual events. Therefore the reference by Messiah Y'Shua to (Spiritual) "Eyes to See", (Spiritual) "Ears to Hear".

Mashal Judaism is not a version of "Sacred Name Theology". It is believed that there is no word or combination of words that can clearly define The Eternal Creator, and that The Eternal Creator has no name as men have names; rather The Eternal Creator is and has been defined from the beginning by descriptive titles (Yahweh, Jehovah, YHVH, YHWH, Allah, Elohiym, Adonai, HaShem, GOD, LORD, Eternal Father, The Singularity, etc. .); all of which have descriptive definitions and-or translations. The actual meaning of 'Name' as used in any Scripture is 'Reputation', and therefore, YHVH's 'Name' is a 'Good Name' or 'Righteous Name'; 'Name' does not refer to a phonic sound.

Mashal Judaism differs from Christianity, Christopaganism, Messianic Judaism, "Jews for Jesus", and Nazarene, Neo-Isars or Trinitarians groups in as much as Mashal Judaism rejects: Mashal Judaism is not limited to the above statements of rejection.
 * 1) "The Nicene Creed"; especially "The Trinity" concept.
 * 2) The deity of the Roman Jesus (Christ or Christos or IHS) or Messiah Y'Shua.
 * 3) The Virgin Birth
 * 4) That The Eternal Father or Creator can exist in the flesh as "God in The Flesh", except as a "Righteousness Seeking Mindset" ( Holy Spirit or Holy Mentality ).
 * 5) Miracles based on mystery and magic; without scientific merit, because YHVH uses the 'Natural Laws of Creation' (physics and chemistry) to perform so called miracles.
 * 6) The literal translation of "The Bible"; especially modern languages, and politically correct versions.
 * 7) The December 25th birth date of Messiah Y'Shua.
 * 8) Messiah's actual death on the torture stake ( Cross ); this is not to say he was not crucified; he just did not die nor was there any reason for anyone to die.
 * 9) Messiah's physical ascension into heaven as a form of physical levitation or physical transfiguration.
 * 10) The belief that Torah was "Nailed on The Cross".
 * 11) The belief that a person can "Get Saved" through ritual baptism or by following "The Roman Road to Salvation".
 * 12) The belief that YHVH requires perfection in the form of having never sinned.
 * 13) The belief that "The Holy Spirit" is a God; capable of physically impregnating a female human being.
 * 14) The "Dispensation Period" concept, because YHVH is unchanging.

Mashal Judaism differs from all other forms of Judaism that follow Torah as a strict set of laws and-or rules. Mashal Jews do not follow "Halakhah", but the self-evident rule of a "Righteousness Seeking Heart". Mashal Judaism believes that Torah and-or "The Ten Commandments" was never intended to be followed as a set of laws or rules, but are rather "Marriage Vows" that act as a teaching guide for seeking "The Righteousness of YHVH". That the only way to express "Love for The Eternal Creator" is to eagerly and voluntarily do the best one can to "Seek the Righteousness of YHVH" through Torah (as Marriage Vows). Furthermore, since Torah is actually the words to a "Marriage Covenant" with YHVH; It is, therefore, not the "Letter of The Law", but "The Intent of The Law" and "The Intent of The Heart" that determines ones standing with YHVH; that 'Intent' being "For Righteousness Sake".

Mashal Judaism is not ethnic Judaism, but Spiritual Judaism, based on the "Mind of GOD (YHVH)", which is a "Righteousness (Holy) Seeking Mindset (Spirit)". Followers of Mashal Judaism ( The Bnei HaMashalim ) contend that they are "The Spiritual Seed of Abraham and Sarah". They do not contend that they are the only "Spiritual Seed of Abraham and Sarah". However, some them are true DNA traceable Hebrews by birth and the rest are adopted Jews (grafted in).

Teachings of Mashal Judaism

The Eternal Creator: There is only one true Eternal Creator and Power in the entire universe; Who does not eternally or otherwise exist in three persons, two persons or any other multiple form of personages, except as a Righteousness Seeking Mentality, Spiritual Image or Spiritual Quality of the Mind, Attitude or Characteristics of Personality.

Messiah Y'shua is not GOD or a god, but is a "Spokesman" (or Proxy) for The Eternal. Messiah Y'shua was not born from heaven, but into The Kingdom of Heaven (soon to be established on Earth). The Messiah was not Spiritually fathered by a Holy Ghost planting a mythical seed into Miryam's (Mary's) womb. Messiah was fathered (physically sired) by Joseph, and did not pre-exist, except as part of "The Plan of Salvation" (Logos) that existed in The Eternal Creator's Spiritual Mind (far different from and superior to the mind of man). The Messiah's mother (Miryam) was a virgin only prior to her impregnation by the physical seed of Joseph (a physical and Spiritual lineage from King David).

Satan & Demons: That Satan is an allegory/metaphor (Spiritual parallel) for "The Adversary" and human nature, which is "Spiritual Unrighteousness" (self-centeredness). Therefore, "Satan or Evil" (human nature) can control the mentality of anyone that does not have the Righteousness Seeking "Mentality (Holy Spirit) of The Eternal Creator". Demons are evil thoughts that torment those that dwell on them. Therefore, "Satan or Evil" does not need its own body, when it can possess the body of anyone without the presence of "The Holy Spirit" (Righteousness Seeking Mentality of The Eternal Creator), even if we are mentally distracted from righteousness for a moment.

Jesus Christ: is an imposter imposed upon the world by the ancient Roman church-state. That IHSous Christos (Roman Jesus Christ) is actually an invention of Satan (unrighteous human nature) of mankind imposing false doctrines and controls upon the Earth in order to claim and maintain a false godhead (divinity) for the purpose of world domination, and to attempt to prevent or delay the resurrection of The True Saints (Chosen Few or Elect).

Adam and Eve: were not the first beings with human appearance (physical likeness) that were created by the creative powers of The Eternal. That Adam and Eve were the first intelligent human beings on Earth, that were capable of receiving the knowledge of Good and Evil. Prior to Adam and Eve all beings with human appearance were no different than any other animal that was created.

Water Baptism: is not a requirement for salvation or redemption, but is a physical to Spiritual tool (parallel) to teach by example what it means to die to "Self" and be resurrected and "Born Anew". Anyone that seek 'Salvation' is actually sinning, because seeking 'Salvation' is a 'Self-motivated' and 'Self-centered' act.

Convocations: Are an assembly of believers that may be as few as two or three.

The Crucifixion: That Messiah Y'Shua was crucified on a torture stake, but did not die. That he was willing to sacrificed his physical life (no one took it) in a perfect physical to Spiritual parallel of "Passover". That this event took place at the end of the fourth weekday. That he was in a cave like grave on the evening and morning of the fifth, sixth, and seventh weekdays, and was revived from among "The Dead" (a metaphor for 'The Worldly') at the end of "The Seventh Day".

Death & Soul: That no one goes to heaven or is tormented in hell when they die. That at physical death, "The Breath of Life" (temporary source of life) returns to The Eternal Father, but the body lies in the grave, awaiting either "The Resurrection" and/or "The Judgement"; a period of time that is, also, Spiritually allegorical. That there is no such thing as an "Immortal Soul" that already exists in mankind, but that a "Soul" is something animals and humans have equally and that it is a condition of existence. A "Soul" is a living and breathing body of flesh, which is either animal or human.

Marriage: Was ordained by "The Eternal Creator," and is defined as "The Union" between a man (natural male) and a woman (natural female) for the purpose of "Being Fruitful and Multiplying." That marriage in "The Eternal's Eyes" does not require a license, but only needs to be announced before witnesses by both the man and the woman. The announcement should primarily be made in advance of cohabitation (consummation) as husband and wife, but may be announced after cohabitation (consummation) as husband and wife. That a marriage license is only for the purpose of government sanctioning and record keeping. Marriage is performed for "Righteousness Sake" and is an 'Act of Love' designed to bring forth 'Righteousness Seeking Children'; a physical example of a "Marriage Covenant" with 'The Eternal Creator'.

Torah: That "The Law" is not beneficial if followed according to "The Letter of The Law," but rather obedience must be followed through love for "The Spirit of The Law." That Spirit being a quest or desire for Righteousness. This is what is meant by "The Intent of The Heart".

Traditions: Mashal Judaism teaches that man made traditions of religious significance are expressly forbidden. These include, but are not limited to: Chanukah, Purim, Christmas (Saturnalia, Brumalia, Opalia, Consualia, Sol Invictus), any Day of Obligation (Mary Worship), Epiphany, Valentines Day, Lent, Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras), Ash Wednesday, Saint Patrick's Day, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Sunday sabbath, Easter (Ishtar), Divine Mercy Sunday, Palm Sunday, Ascension, the Transfiguration, All Saints Day, Hallowed Eve (Halloween), Advent, and Pentecost according to the Roman calendar.

Virgin Birth: Mashal Judaism does not teach or believe in a virgin Birth. The followers of Mashal Judaism teach a Virgin Conception (conception by a "First Time" virgin), but not a virgin birth.
