Sodom and Gomorrah . . . also in the gunsights of The LORD.
Is Jeff A. Benner
in the Gunsights of The LORD ?
A Re-post By
Samson7Able
Mr. Benner seems to be a
mild-mannered, clean-living man with no secrets to hide, according to his
website. He and his wife are in accord and work together, which speaks highly
of his life-style.
What could Mr. Benner be doing
which is so abhorrent to The LORD ?
He is SUBSTITUTING the dead for the
LIVING.
Mr. Benner has written 14 books so
successfully that he is able to support his family and dedicate himself
full-time to do . . . what
. . . ?
. . .To draw believers
AWAY from The LORD JESUS CHRIST
and unto a false Gospel.
Does Mr. Benner SAY that JESUS
is LORD / GOD ? Yes, he does.
"After many months of study I found my answer, Jesus truly was and is God in the flesh." The Holy Assembly and the Everlasting Covenant, Jeff A. Benner, Introduction, page 10.
Many, we are warned, will come in
His+ Name, confessing that HE+ is LORD . . . and, in their next breath, deceive
many followers.
And JESUS answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My+ Name, saying, I+ AM CHRIST; and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:4-5.+ + +
So how does this sincere,
clean-living teacher of Scriptures work deception on the many ?
He does it by dragging Believers
in CHRIST back under the Law.
NO, Mr. Benner has not killed anyone’s body .
. . but he is poisoning their souls. He is
feeding them with death instead of LIFE+ in JESUS CHRIST.
According to Mr. Benner, the Law, TORAH, speaks with more Authority than The LORD JESUS. TORAH now replaces the HOLY SPIRIT in directing the Followers of CHRIST, according to his teaching.
Mr. Benner works his deception by
CHANGING the words used in Scripture --- or their meanings --- via the Hebrew
language. [ That is to say, his version of the
Hebrew language, not the standard Hebrew understood and read in the Hebrew
Scriptures. ]
Thus, those "scriptures" that
he CHANGES in his writings all are found to support the Hebrew Roots / Netzarim
false doctrines. [ Ed. Note: All Hebrew
Roots / Netzarim groups change
Scriptures in order to find "scriptural" support for their
unregenerated doctrines. ]
He changes the GOSPEL focus which
draws Believers away from The LORD JESUS and onto TORAH, onto Hebrew, onto
keeping the Law and the feasts, and in short,
onto themselves.
Mr. Benner’s work makes him a Direct Enemy of The LORD JESUS CHRIST
because he is found to CONTRADICT THE WORD OF GOD, alas for him.
He is not alone: ALL the Hebrew Roots / Netzarim proponents are the target
of The LORD’S ANGER.
This time, it is not the
Babylonish garments hidden under the tent. No, rather it is the Jewish covering
of the “LAW” which is going to cause their demise.
This time, the unclean thing is
not hidden under a tent but openly promoted as a “disciplined walk” with GOD.
Sadly, The LORD rejects
Observing the Law
as an acceptable form of worship.
It is written: they who worship
HIM+ must worship HIM+ in SPIRIT and in Truth.
The Mouth of The LORD hath spoken it.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship The FATHER in SPIRIT and in TRUTH: for The FATHER seeketh such to worship HIM.GOD is a SPIRIT: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.John 4:23-24
+ + +
O, Earth, Earth, Earth,
Hear the Word of The LORD:
O, Earth, Earth, Earth,
Hear the Word of The LORD:
JESUS saith unto them,Did ye never read in the scriptures,The STONE+ which the builders rejected, the SAME+ is become the HEAD+ of the corner: this is The LORD’S doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?Therefore say I+ unto you, The kingdom of GOD shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.And whosoever shall fall on This STONE+
shall be broken:
but on whomsoever IT+ shall fall,
IT+ will grind him to powder.Matthew 21:42-44
+ + +
Come out of her, My+
People,
and touch not the unclean
thing.

John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments."
The NT has not been written yet when Jesus said this, so he is referring to the OT.
Matthew 5:17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete.
The Law was not abolished. It is to be followed, but it is no longer the means for redemption. Jesus completed the redemption process, thus fulfilling the sacrificial requirement.

Dear Friend Anonymous,
Thank you for your response.
I understand how some accept the SACRIFICE of The LORD JESUS CHRIST for their sins . . . and then leave HIM+ to go off to follow the Torah in their daily lives.
But The LORD JESUS said to "FOLLOW ME+ . . . " not Torah.
We have seen this happen several times. Yet The LORD JESUS is to WHOM+ we are to related; we can have no living companionship with the Law, fir it is dead, as the book of Hebrews tells.
INEVITABLY, when someone tries to replace a living walk with The LORD JESUS CHRIST, Y'SHUA+, with the Law or Torah, that is all he thinks about: KEEPING THE LAW.
The Law or Torah becomes his primary focus and he feels guilty if he mis-steps in any area. Inevitably, the areas become more and more encompassing and more and more binding.
The LORD JESUS told us that, "None of you keep the Law." In that place, HE+ was speaking to the MOST Torah-observant group upon earth who knew and obeyed Torah to the utmost.
Yet, they were not pleasing unto GOD.
We are to FOCUS on CHRIST, not the Law, not Torah.
We recall the Apostle Paul's words, stating from whence he came:
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church;
touching the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless,
But what things were gain to me,
those I counted LOSS for CHRIST.
Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss
for the excellency of the knowledge of CHRIST JESUS --- Y'SHUA+ ha MOSHIACH+ --
my LORD: for WHOM+ I have suffered the loss of all things,
and do count them dung
that I may WIN CHRIST,
And be found in HIM+, NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, but that which is through the faith of CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS which is OF GOD through faith.
Philippians 3:6-9
If our MINDS be upon keeping Torah, dear friend, they will NOT be upon The LORD JESUS CHRIST. The Law is dead; The LORD JESUS is ALIVE.
HE+ HIMSELF+ instructed us to LOVE the LORD thy GOD with
all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy MIND,
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:30 and Matthew 22:37 and Luke 10:27.
Our focus, our heart, soul, MIND, and strength is to be focused on The ELOHIM . . . WHOM we now know through THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, Y'SHUA+ ha MOSHIACH+.
When HE+ lives within us, then we KNOW HIM+ and find no need to fill up the emptiness by busy-ing ourselves with keeping the Old Covenant Laws. Thos important laws of right living before GOD and man WILL BE KEPT automatically . . . if we walk with JESUS in the Light, as HE+ is in the Light.
However, if we walk "with the Law" instead with HIM+, we will find ourselves on the out-skirts of The Kingdom of GOD and in the gun sights of The LORD GOD WHO gave HIS Only-Begotten SON+ what whosoever believeth in HIM+ should not perish but have everlasting Life.
For GOD sent NOT HIS SON+ into the world to condemn the world but that the world through HIM+ might be saved. John 3:16-17
The Law CONDEMNS. Yes, it DOES condemn us as well as the whole world if we do not keep every jot and tittle in the Law.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST saves. There is NO CONDEMNATION for us if we are IN CHRIST JESUS because HE+ fulfills the Law .
There is THEREFORE now NO Condemnation to them
which are in CHRIST JESUS,
WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH,
but after the SPIRIT.
Romans 8:1
The dead Law simply cannot replace the Living LORD JESUS CHRIST, Y'SHUA+ ha MOSHIACH+.
We, like the Apostle Paul, owe no allegiance to Torah, but we OWE OUR ENTIRE LIVES unto The LORD JESUS CHRIST, Y'SHUA+ ha MOSHIACH+.
Thank you again for your comment. It helps to clarify these issues.

Hello.This post was extremely fascinating, especially since I was looking for thoughts
on this subject last Thursday.
Dear Anonymous ... We are glad you found this post to be of interest.
Actually, the SPIRITUAL situation with Mr. Benner is much more dire than this article states, as we have recently discovered.
In fact, Mr. Benner is and HAS BEEN into Zen Buddhism and the Zohar writings of mystical Judaism , writings used by the people who are into the Kabbalah .
I tried 3 times to publish a review of his book: GENESIS, ZEN, and QUANTUM PHYSICS: A Fresh Look at the Theology and Science of Creation, 2011, just to expose a FEW of his ERRORS.
But alas, Amazon would not publish my review, which was just a list of EXAMPLES taken from his book ! Those examples came from the "LOOK INSIDE" pages published on Amazon itself.
I was able to publish my review as a comment on the only ONE-STAR Review Amazon has printed and will be publishing it on this blogspot soon.
Here is a link to that Review and my comment, if you are interested:

Again, thank you for your comment. Do keep TRUTH before your heart.
What "sounds good" on the surface is sometimes a can of worms.
Sincerely,
Yours for Truth in the inner man and on the written page . . .

According to John 6:38 Yahusha came to do not his will but to do the will of him who sent Him. and in John 4:34 He says "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. The fathers will is that we all walk in righteousness and be obedient children. Yahusha is Torah he is the Word made flesh according to John 1:14 he came to show us the way and if we claim to know him we must walk as he walked 1John 2:6, which means we must be obedient to Torah just as he was. Our obedience to the Torah is evidence or fruit of our belief in Yahusha. James 2:26 For as the body without the ruach (spirit) is dead, so belief without works (obedience to the Law/Torah) is dead also. Your belief or faith means nothing if we are not being obedient to Torah/Law. The renewed Covenant that Yahusha is mediator of does not do away with Obedience to Yahuah's instructions for mankind. The Torah/Law shows us what sin is (Romans 7:7) it shines light on darkness. In closing if we expect to be saved and have eternal life we must be obedient to Torah/The Law
Rev. 22:14 Blessed are they that DO YAHUAH'S Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. We can't enter in if we are not Obedient to the Law!
Dear Anonymous Hebrew Roots Believer . . .
This blog program is FORCING me to divide up my response to your comment. Here is part one:
You are correct: The LORD Y'SHUA+ is indeed TORAH, The WORD+ made flesh.
As a matter of FACT, HE+ fulfilled all of The LAW, The TORAH, The WORD !
When HE+ comes to live in our heart, HE+ brings the LIVING WORD+ inside of us.
His+ WORD , His+ Commands take us MUCH farther than the First Covenant Law.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth " is excellent TORAH teaching. Exodus 21:24-25
But Y'SHUA+ ha MASHIYACH+ did not observe THAT LAW, did HE+ ? NO.
Instead, HE+ set us a new ROYAL LAW: To turn the other cheek --- JUST EXACTLY LIKE HE+ DID by going to The Cross out of His+ desire to reveal The HOLY FATHER to mankind.
Followers of Y'SHUA+ live by His+ Commands . . . which go DEEPER and take us FARTHER into the Kingdom of Heaven than TORAH could take us.
His+ Commands are not done by rote nor even by a disciplined routine, but rather by submission to Y'SHUA+ and empowered by His+ Blessed HOLY SPIRIT.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 BUT I+ say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 BUT I+ say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

PART 2 of my comment to Anonymous Hebrew Roots Believer . . .
His+ Commands are not done by rote nor even by a disciplined routine, but rather by submission to Y'SHUA+ and empowered by His+ Blessed HOLY SPIRIT.
Now, let's look at the NEW COVENANT.
Y’SHUA+ replaced the animal sacrifices commanded in TORAH. Those unblemished, animal sacrifices had to be renewed EVERY year.
That was the RENEWABLE Covenant, if you will. If someone did not offer the animal sacrifices commanded in the LAW every year, then he was CUT OFF.
In contrast now, Y'SHUA+ 's DIVINE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF+ took place only ONCE, and that for ALL TIME.
When we enter into the Covenant through the BLOOD+ of Y'SHUA+, that is the COVENANT with The ELOHIM that is BRAND NEW because it never has to be done again, never will be nor can be repeated .
THAT is the EVER-LASTING Covenant, and as such, it is BRAND NEW. Hebrews 13:20
20 Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our LORD Y'SHUA+, that Great Shepherd+ of the sheep, through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant,
That is why the anointed writer of the book of Hebrews in the NEW Covenant told us the FIRST Covenant was decayed and waxing old, ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 8:13
In that HE saith, A NEW covenant, HE hath made the FIRST old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 8:13
In that HE saith, A NEW covenant, HE hath made the FIRST old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Mr. Andrew Roth and other Hebrew Roots Bible writers and teachers are IN GRIEVOUS ERROR about it being a RENEWED Covenant; even the Aramaic Grammar shows that it is a NEW COVENANT.
The ONLY time "renew" is used in the Scriptures is WHEN CHaDaTah ( the Aramaic root word for NEW ) is being used as a VERB. See Hebrews 6:6 or Ephesians 4:23.
When CHaDaTah is being used as an ADJECTIVE, ( as in New Wine, New Cloth) it is ALWAYS used as "new".
It does not change its vowel points when used with NEW COVENANT. It is still an ADJECTIVE, not a verb.
But much more important than Aramaic Grammar rules is The WORD of GOD. Hebrews 8:7 states a clear distinction between the FIRST Covenant and the NEW Covenant:
For if that FIRST covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the SECOND.
The other issue to consider is found in Galatians 2:19, from the writings of the Apostle Paul who was well-trained in Torah, brought up at the feet of Gamaliel.
Galatians 2:19
For I THROUGH THE LAW am dead TO THE LAW, that I might live unto God.
Count the “LAWS” in this verse. There are TWO. They are in the Aramaic Peshitta text as well.
... B' NaMuSa = by the LAW --- L'NaMuSa = to the LAW I am dead that to ALAHA I live.
ARAMAIC Galatians 2:19 - 20
For I BY THE LAW TO THE LAW am dead, that unto Aloha I may live: 20 - and with the Meshika am I crucified, and from henceforth I live not, but in me liveth Meshika; and this that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the SON+ of ALOHA, who loved me and gave Himself+ for me.
[This is from Dr. John Etheridge’s translation. I also worked out the translation of the Aramaic text and it does state exactly the same thing.]
But in the HEBREW ROOTS camp, in Andrew Roth’s AENT Galatians, that verse conveniently OMITS ONE OF THE LAWS !
Only 7 Aramaic words in that verse, and Mr. Roth OMITTED one of the most important ones in his translation. Pg. 564, Mis-Pagination Edition, 3rd Edition, August 2010, Mr. Roth translated Galatians 2:19 - - -
"For by TORAH I am dead, that I might live to ELOHIM."
Is DISHONEST translating "observing" TORAH ?
Mr. Roth, a well-known scholar, both speaks and reads Aramaic and Hebrew.
But he chose to promote the Hebrew Roots DOCTRINES rather than the accurate WORD of GOD . . . as written in the Aramaic Peshitta Text.
And there is NOT ONE WORD of explanation about that verse in his copious foot-notes regarding that glaring omission of BOTH "LAWS" in his English translation.
He also had an editorial committee to check his work. And nobody "found" that grievous error. Rather, they chose to lead their readers astray to establish the Hebrew Roots Doctrine. After all, how many REALLY read the Aramaic text or check it on Dukhrana.com ?
BE AWARE, dear friend, there are other deceitful errors afoot besides the un-grammatical and un-Scriptural "renewed" Covenant and the omission of one of the LAWS in Galatians 2:19 by a zealous Hebrew Roots scholar.
REMEMBER: The Words of Y'SHUA+ ha MASHIYACH+ tell us to go BEYOND the righteousness which is found in the LAW , in TORAH.
We can only do this through the power of The HOLY SPIRIT, with CHRIST IN US, the Hope of Glory. Colossians 1:27.
Sincerely, in Y'SHUA+ , Who+ is the Way, the Truth, and The LIFE . . .

Dear Friend, Anonymous of 6.7.2020,
Could it be that we differ on HOW we keep The LAW ?
Please see my new post which I will be posting this evening. I think it may surprise you.
In Christian love to you,
Sr. Judith Hannah + + +
You don't understand something. Torah means instruction. Was the world not formed by the instruction of Yah? What is higher than the words that come from the mouth of God himself?
Dear Anonymous Friend,
I have not meant to neglect your comment; I simply have not checked this blog for a couple of weeks. Thank you for responding and thank you for your patience.
I wonder, have you read the Book of Hebrews ? There is a CLEAR VERSE which states: :
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of GOD, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
To make it CLEARER, here is a short passage in Colossians, chapter 1:
12 Giving thanks unto THE FATHER, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 WHO hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of HIS dear SON+: 14 In Whom+ we have Redemption through His+ BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who+ is the image of the invisible GOD, the Firstborn+ of every creature:
16 For by HIM+ were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM+ , AND FOR HIM+:
17 And HE+ is before all things, and by HIM+ all things consist.
18 And HE+ is the Head of the Body, the church: Who+ is the Beginning+, the Firstborn-From- the-Dead; that in all things HE+ might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased THE FATHER that in HIM+ should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made Peace through The BLOOD of His+ Cross, by HIM+ to reconcile all things unto HIMSELF+ ; by HIM+, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven.
21 and you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath HE+ reconciled
22 In the Body of His+ Flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His+ sight:
23 IF YE CONTINUE IN THE FAITH grounded and settled, and BE NOT MOVED AWAY from the HOPE OF THE GOSPEL, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Such good words !
HE+ was the WORD-MADE-FLESH WHO+ dwelt among us . . . little us. HE+ Who+ made everything was EMMANUEL . . . GOD with us !
You can find HIM+ in Genesis chapter 1, too.
HE+ is in The ELOHIM -- the plural , Unified ECHAD, the Divine ONE Who works in tandem, in complete harmony, and in complete AGREEMENT .
REMEMBER: "Let US ... yes, US . . . make man in OUR image."
Bless Ha ELOHIM !
In HIS LIGHT+ , we shall see LIGHT ! Amen and thankfully so!
Bless you, dear friend. Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely ,
Sister Judith Hannah + + +
Thank you, thank you so much for your clear and calm way of clarifying this difficult isues!
