Shemot 3:13-16

This is MY NAME for ever,

I AM / WILL BE WHAT I AM / WILL BE:

"And YHWH said to mosheh , 'I am that which I am. [ehyeh asher ehyeh]' and

he said, 'so you will say to the sons of Y’Isra’EL, "I am [ehyeh] has sent me to

you." 'and YHWH said further to mosheh, 'now you are to say to the sons of

Y’Isra’EL, "YHWH, ELoHeY of your fathers Abraham, Yitzchak [Isaac], and

Yaa’qob [Jacob], has sent me to you. this is my name forever, and this is my

memorial for generation to generation." ' "Shemoth 6:3," 'and I appeared to

Abraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaa’qob as hashadday [the almighty]. and my

name, YHWH, was not well known (famous) to them.

YHWH, ELoHeY TSeBAoWT, is his name.

Man's pretended knowledge and attempts at explanation of the creation

apart from Yahuah

GUARD WHAT HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED (PARAKATATHE) TO YOU, AVOIDING PROFANE

AND EMPTY UTTERANCE (KENOPHONIA), AND CONTRADICTIONS OF THE FALSELY

CALLED 'KNOWLEDGE,'

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as

those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and

language .Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing

such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its

reliance on rational argument. The word "philosophy" comes from the

Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom

Beresheet 2:9

And out of the ground made YHWH (יהוה) EloHYM (אלהים) to grow every

tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Etz ha Chayim

also in the midst of the garden, and the Etz ha Da'at Tov vara.

(modern translation)

And YHWH (יהוה) EloHYM caused to spring up from the ground every

kind of tree that is aesthetically pleasing, and appropriate for food. The

Tree of Life was in the middle of the garden, as was the Tree of the

Knowledge of Right and Wrong

Page 4: Philosophy and empty deceit.

The order of creation appears different from that in chapter 1. Here,

man appears before the trees. This clues us in that something else is

being discussed. And indeed, the context here is the garden, not the

world at large. These are not the recently-created trees of the earth, but

trees planted anciently and now transplanted here for Adam's sake. How

YHWH (יהוה) treasured this epitome of His creation, to put him in such a

special place prepared long beforehand! It was like a husband planting

and walling off a pleasure garden for his wife, then presenting it to her

as a gift. The man is new but the garden is not. And YHWH had now

breathed something ancient into the man as well, and put him in this

place full of life that emanates directly from YHWH (יהוה) .

We shall err greatly if we treat Adam’s history in Eden as nothing more

than a fabled picture of the experience of man; rather is it the root out

of which your experience and mine has grown, and in virtue of which

they ace other than they would have been had they come fresh from the

hand of YHWH (יהוה) (Yahuah). We recognize the law of headship which

YHWH (יהוה) (Yahuah) has established in humanity, whereby Adam, by

his own act, has placed his race in new and sadder relations to Nature of

HaMashiyach.

The sin of Adam is substantially the history of every attempt of self-will

to counterwork the will of YHWH (יהוה) (Yahuah). Every sin is a seeking

for a good outside the region which, in the light of YHWH (יהוה)

(Yahuah), we know to be given us as our own.

Col 2:8

Beware lest be anyone of you taken captive through philosophy and

empty deceit, according the tradition of men (oral tradition), after the

elemental Ruakh of the world, and does not accord with the

HaMashiyach.

Page 5: Philosophy and empty deceit.

The Greek construction here is somewhat difficult and can be literally

rendered “Be careful, lest someone shall be the one who takes you

captive.

These false teachings are aimed at all seekers of the truth ,making us

prey, carrying off both body and soul.

The Greek construction here is somewhat difficult and can be literally

rendered

“Be careful, lest someone shall be the one who takes you captive.”

The Greek reads τῆς φιλοσοφίας καὶ κενῆς ἀπάτης (th" filosofia" kai

kenh" apath"). The two nouns φιλοσοφίας and κενῆς are joined by one

article and probably form a hendiadys. Thus the second noun was taken

as modifying the first, as the translation shows.

The phrase κατὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου (kata ta stoiceia tou kosmou) is

difficult to translate because of problems surrounding the precise

meaning of στοιχεῖα in this context. Originally it referred to the letters of

the alphabet, with the idea at its root of “things in a row”; outlines three

probable options:

The material elements which comprise the physical world;

The elementary teachings of the world

The elemental Spirits of the world.

The first option is highly unlikely because Paul is not concerned here

with the physical elements, e.g., carbon or nitrogen. The last two options

are both possible. Though the Gnostic-like heresy at Colossae would

undoubtedly have been regarded by Paul as an “elementary teaching” at

best, because the idea of “spirits” played such a role in Gnostic thought,

he may very well have had in mind elemental spirits that operated in the

world or controlled the world (i.e., under YHWH (יהוה) (Yahuah)’s

authority and permission).

Romans 16:17

Now I urge you, Achim (Brethren), mark them which cause division and

offences contrary to the teaching which you have learned; and avoid

them.

Some of the old Roman walls are compacted with such excellent cement

that it would be almost impossible to separate one stone from another;

in fact, the whole mass has become so consolidated that you cannot

distinguish one stone from another. Happy the Assembly thus built up,

where each cares not only for his own prosperity, but for the prosperity

of all. And yet, what are some Assemblies but semi-religious clubs, mere

conventions of people gathered together? They have not in them that

sacred soul which is the essence of unity. The body would soon become

disjointed if the soul were not in it; and if the Ruakh of HaMashiyach be

absent, the whole fabric of the outward Assembly falls to pieces; for

where there is no life there can be no true union.

Ivrim 13:9

Be not carried about with divers and strange teachings. For [it is] a good

thing that the heart be established with grace; not with foods, which

have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Since man is incapable of fathoming that which exists, and of explaining

it to himself, his efforts to do so cause him to invent a mass of ideas that

have no foundation, and to endeavor to fill up the void that is found in

his knowledge through his ignorance of Yahuah, by speculations, in

which (because he is at a distance from Yahuah) haSatan plays the chief

part without man's suspecting it.

Col 2:20

Wherefore if ye be dead with MaSHYaCH from the rudiments of the

world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

Page 7: Philosophy and empty deceit.

Here it is to “the rudiments of the world”

Col 2:8.

Beware lest be anyone of you taken captive through philosophy and

empty deceit, according the tradition of men (oral tradition), after the

elemental Ruakh of the world, and does not accord with the MaSHYaCH.

Elementary precepts fit for babes, moving in the region of the material.

Why then, triumphantly asks Paul, do you subject yourselves to

ordinances?

Col 2:4

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Such as “handle not, nor taste, nor touch,” vehement reiterations of the

ascetic teachers with an increasing intolerance--don’t lay hold of, don’t

touch with the tip of your finger. So asceticism grows by indulgence.

And, then, the whole thing is out of date, and a misapprehension of the

genius of Nätzräya. Man’s work in religion is ever to confine it to the

surface. Yahuahshua’s work is to focus it on the inner man of the heart,

knowing that if that be right the visible will come right.

Galates 4:3

Even so we, when we were children, were in subjection to the elements

of this olam hazeh:

Basic principles of the universe: see note on v. 9.

But now, [when] you know YHWH, or rather have come to be known by

YHWH, (יהוה) how is it that you are turning back again onto the feeble

and beggarly rudiments to which you want to be enslaved to [all over]

again?

Beggarly: lacking power to accomplish the goal. Rudiments: basic,

elementary principles—i.e., why do you want to go back to kindergarten

now that you have graduated into full adulthood? The reason for being

drawn to Israel has already been announced to you! Why try to

Page 8: Philosophy and empty deceit.

complete through a human tradition what has already been completed

by an amazing act of YHWH? (יהוה) It is as if our Father lives in a house

that has a guardhouse at the gate, and that is the first step to our

Father’s house, but still it is not the house itself. We may even sense a

right to go play on the roof of our Father’s house since He is, after all,

our Father. But still we are not in the house, the safest place to be.

Compare

Heb. 5:12-6:2

and contrast its use in Col. 2:8.)

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one

teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of Elohim;

and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. For

every one that useth milk [is] unskillful in the word tzedek: for he is a

babe. But solid food belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those

who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good

and evil. Therefore leaving the elementary principles of MaSHYaCH, let

us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance

from dead works, and of faith toward EloHYM, Of the teaching of mikvot,

and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of

eternal misphat.

and contrast its use in

Col. 2:8.

Beware lest be anyone of you taken captive throught philosophy and

empty deceit, according the tradition of men (oral tradition), after the

elemental Ruakh of the world, and does not accord with the MaSHYaCH.

Torah’s purpose at first was to simply restrain us from evil so we could

be preserved for a higher purpose. In that season, before the “fullness of

time”, that was appropriate, but it was not the goal. The goal was that

we be brought to maturity:

Page 9: Philosophy and empty deceit.

Galates 4:9

But now, after you have known EloHYM (אלהים), or rather are known by

EloHYM (אלהים), how is it that you turn again to the weak and

worthless elementary principle of this world, to which you desire to be

bondage?

That is not the best and truest knowledge of YHWH which is wrought out

by the labour and sweat of brain, but that which is kindled within us by

heavenly warmth in our hearts. As, in the natural body, it is the heart

that sends up good blood and warm spirits into the head, whereby it is

best enabled to perform its several functions; so that which enables us

to know and understand aright in the things of YHWH, (יהוה) must be a

living principle of Sacredness within us

2 Tim 3:6

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly

women laden with sins, led away with diver’s lusts,

2 Tim 3:7

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Walk away from any kind of worldly influence and see if there are chains

that make your escape difficult. The Ruakh of the last days has certain

intelligence about it; the high priests of the Ruakh of the last days know

how to make things work and how to lead us away by various lusts. But

for all their skill, for all of their marketing brilliance and knowledge, they

never come to truth. Indeed, the Ruakh of the last days has a problem

with the idea of "true truth" altogether, because it believes that we each

are the center of our own universe and we each create our own truth.

Page 10: Philosophy and empty deceit.

According to the Ruakh of the last days there is no truth outside of

ourselves, so we can learn and learn and learn, but we will never come

to YHWH's (יהוה) eternal truth.

Kórinthos 1:19

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to

nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where [is] the wise? where

[is] the scribe? Where [is] the disputer of this olam hazeh? have not

EloHYM (אלהים) made foolish the wisdom of this olam hazeh? For after

that in the wisdom of EloHYM (אלהים) the olam hazeh by wisdom knew

not Elohim (אלהים), it pleased EloHYM (אלהים) by the foolishness of

proclaiming to save them that believe.

For the Yehudim require a sign, and the Greeks seek after

wisdom:

Kórinthos 1:23

But we proclaim MaSHYaCH impaled, to the Yahudym a stumbling

block, and to the Greeks foolishness;

Build on the truth of YHWH, (יהוה) not the fables of man, study his

WORD, The letters, but not man made images, you err for you walk in

the prince of the power of the air……….

Korínthios Alef 3:10

According to the grace of Elohim (אלהים) which is given to me, as a

wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth

thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon

St. Paul’s speech at Athens, on the only occasion when he is known to

have been brought into direct personal contact with Greek philosophers

Act 17:18

Then certain philosophers of the Epikoureios, and of the Stoikos, encountered him. And some said: "What will this babbler say? Other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange dominion (dieties):

because he proclaimed unto them Yahu(ah)shua, and the resurrection." And they took him, and brought him unto Areios Pagos, saying:

"May we know what this new teaching, whereof thou speakest, [is]? “

For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: "we would know therefore what these things mean.“ (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to

hear some new thing.)

2 Thessalonians 2:15 (TS98)

So, then, brothers, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were

taught, whether by word or by our letter.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray

for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the true knowledge of

His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding;
