Former Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, who famously flamed out of his church after admitting multiple affairs, has announced that he and his wife, Laura, have written a book together on overcoming spousal unfaithfulness.
The book, Overcoming Infidelity: 10 Conversations to Help Heal the Hurt, is coming out October 20, 2026, and is described as a “raw and unflinching road map to relational restoration for couples struggling to survive the tumultuous journey of infidelity and betrayal.”
The promo for the book reads:
At the height of his career, celebrity pastor Carl Lentz’s extramarital affair was splashed across the nation’s headlines, leaving his seemingly perfect marriage and career in ruins. In Overcoming Infidelity, the Lentzes share their unfiltered journey to rekindle their love and the wisdom they learned along the way.
While deeply vulnerable and filled with gripping narrative, this book is no mere memoir. It’s a practical road map for how to restore trust and truly heal. Guiding readers through ten critical conversations that arise in the aftermath of infidelity, the Lentzes give readers a highly practical framework for navigating the biggest questions every hurting couple must wrestle with, including: Can we ever trust again? How do we tell our kids? Will the pain ever go away?
Overcoming Infidelity offers readers hope through a bold promise—it’s possible to build a marriage that’s even better than before—paired with the practical tools and spiritual wisdom to realize it. It’s an urgently needed roadmap for anyone whose marriage has fractured under pressure and suspect leaving might not be God’s best ending to their love story.

In November 2020, Carl Lentz was ousted from his church after it was revealed he was having an adulterous affair with a New York City-based designer named Ranin Karim. Though his bombshell got him fired, it was only one of many affairs, according to a 51-page barn-burner of a booklet titled ‘Internal Investigation Report Regarding Carl Lentz and Other Matters’ commissioned by Hillsong leadership.
The report revealed that rather than committing a so-called ‘one-time mistake’ with Karim, Lentz exemplified predatory sexual behavior for years, including grooming behavior, allegations of paying masseuses for sexual favors and ‘happy endings,’ another affair in 2014 with a young celebrity, and yet another in 2020.
His former Nannny also accused Lentz of sexual assault, writing, “While he never had intercourse with me and never kissed me, I was physically violated by his unwanted and repeated sexual touching of my intimate areas. I froze. Every time, I froze.”
Following his departure, Lentz became employed at Transformation Church in Tulsa as a church strategist, and shortly after, he and Laura launched a new podcast, Lights On With Carl Lentz, where they candidly discuss his infidelity and walk through the healing process they both had to go through to save their marriage.
He shares the book news on his Facebook:

The first sentence of the promo is telling.
“At the height of his career, celebrity pastor Carl Lentz’s extramarital affair was splashed across the nation’s headlines, leaving his seemingly perfect marriage and career in ruins.”
The self awareness here is at ZERO. Ministry isn’t a career. Pastors shouldn’t be and aren’t celebrities, they are shepherds. And “seemingly” is a nice way of saying that what everyone saw was a lie – Lentz was a hypocrite.
ok – but has he truly repented before the Lord of his adultery. He needs to do that before he writes any self help books.
Damn, this dude is a hustler. No shame in his game
Is Lentz a Jewish surname? If so it would explain a lot.
where’s my comment about repentance of sin ? Or did Protestia get all convicted and censor it ?
Wow, he has some nerve. I hope no one buys this book and gives him profit from his sin.
And the grift keeps going and going …..
How Torah common law interprets the writings of the NT Apostle Paul as akin to the writing of “Natan the prophet” who promoted the Shabbetai Zevi (1626–1676) false messiah abomination.
We Jews study the writings of the Apostle Paul, as that of an Agent Provocateur. A spy sent by Rabban Gamliel to infiltrate the Xtian movement; the story of his trip to Damascus encounter with God JeZeus, Acts 9:4, in the Heavens above story, permitted his entrance into the ranks of the Xtian movement as a Jewish spy.
Outside of Judea no Sanhedrin court has any legal jurisdiction to try a criminal case of Capital Crime and impose the death sentence. A 3-Man Torts court likewise does not have any jurisdiction to judge a Capital Crimes case of avoda zara, any more than does the story of stoning of individuals throwing stones as told in the story of the first church martyr Stephen.
Torah establishes 4 types of death penalties, stoning the most severe type due to the destruction of the human body. This most sever type of death penalty requires pushing off a prisoner, stripped naked from atop a 3 tower, something like a public hanging in America during the 19th Century. This tower about 19 feet tall.
The prisoner pushed off this execution tower onto a huge jagged rock below. The Talmud instructs that no person ever survived the impact of that fall; which caused the body to shatter into separate parts. Yet Paul’s “stoning” miraculously permitted Paul to get up by his own strength and walk away!
Once he reached Damascus, he preached the notion of faith in JeZeus, despite the Torah commandment which commands faith as: justice justice pursue. An later publicly preached that the mitzva of brit melah/circumcision had ceased to exist as a valid Torah commandment.
This theology rejected by Torah common judicial law. He further peached that Goyim themselves, not under the law. But his rhetoric propaganda failed to emphasize the day and night difference between Jewish judicial common law from Roman Caesar and Senate statute law. Just as it likewise failed to discern that “graphed on Goyim” metaphor, invalidates the Torah law which states that if any Goy perspective convert rejects even one Torah commandment, such a Goy – invalid as a valid convert to the Jewish faith.
Paul’s preaches that Goyim can be part of the Xtian community without fully adhering to Jewish law, including circumcision or dietary laws etc. This point is made crystal clear during the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15), where the apostles and other church leaders discuss the requirements for Goyim conversion to this new God belief system.
While some Jewish leaders reject Paul’s message, others accept it. The division over Paul’s teachings does lead to controversies and challenges, but it’s not solely about rejecting circumcision. The purpose of this pointed rhetoric propaganda achieved the desired result of “Divide and conquer” among the Jewish people themselves.
At the same time Paul’s theology reflects any heresy theological debates within the early church which so define post NT church history. Paul’s clear-cut rejection of Torah commands altogether, not limited to brit melah and Kashrut which defines permitted and forbidden foods which Jews can and cannot eat.
Paul’s theology compares to Jewish spies sent to promote Civil War in the Syrian Greek empire which the lighting of the lights of Chanukka permanently remembers. Yechuda Maccabee functioned as a “spy”. As the leader of the Maccabee revolt against both the assimilated house of Aaron/Tzeddukim\ servants, tasked by the Syrian king with the duty to make Judea into the Syrian ‘banana republic’; modeled after the Persians who first built the Temple under Cyrus the Great. The construction of the 2nd Temple established the Tzeddukim as the loyal 2% of the Jewish population tasked with the kapo-Jewish obligation to extract the wealth of this conquered Judean province and transfer its wealth to Persepolis, the Capital of the Persian empire.
Hence the Persian empire the first empire to “convert” a restored Judea as a banana republic; Cyrus the first Persian king who employed Tzeddukim priests to achieve this critical “empire” task. Much like and comparable to how Centuries later Muhammad’s Koran conveniently rejected the consumption of pork, but permited Arabs and Muslims to consume camel flesh. Despite the Torah priority which prohibits camel prior to the prohibition of pork!
Clearly main stream Xtianity fails to this day to grasps the hostile qualities of Paul’s propaganda aimed to promote a Roman Civil War prior to the outbreak of the first great Jewish revolt in 66ce. Paul traveled to Rome and publicly preached/injected a theology of Xtian monotheism into a polytheistic Roman society which worshipped Caesar as “the son of God”.
Hence, Paul’s ‘miraculous’ survival from a Roman style stone completely forbidden by Torah common law, adds an intriguing layer to his Roman propaganda narrative, used to underscore his Roman mission to explode Civil War in Rome like as happened in Damascus about 1 Century earlier, and to declare this ‘divine endorsement’ as the Will of JeZeus as God.
Paul’s views on dietary laws and the later teachings in the Koran about permissible foods demonstrates how religious interpretations can evolve and adapt across cultures and times. This observation sheds light on the ongoing dialogue about legitimacy in religious commands. Please accept my open invitation for you to make a deeper exploration of the NT which you love and believe. Starting with why the gospel stories precede the writings of Paul despite the fact that Paul’s writings penned before the earliest gospel of Mark – written in both in Greek – not Hebrew or Aramaic – and in the city of Rome itself.
Also please explore the possibilities that Paul no more a prophet than Muhammad. Why? Because the Torah defines prophets as the police to enforce Sanhedrin court rulings. The Xtian literal reading of an exceptionally complex texts recorded through the letters of Paul compares to the Genesis Xtian overly simplistic literal reading of their genesis creation story whereby their believers declare that God created the Universe in Six Days and totally ignores the Torah opening introduction of “Torah wisdom commandments” commonly referred throughout the Talmud as “time-oriented commandments”. A Torah prophet commands mussar. Because mussar applies straight across the board to all generations of the chosen Cohen people. Torah prophets starting with Moshe and concluding with the prophet Yonah sent to foreign lands to first and foremost cause Israel to remember the oath brit sworn to the Avot that they and only they would father the chosen Cohen people. Hence the narrative of the JeZeus false messiah does not and cannot replace this Torah oath brit with the NT supersessionism replacement theology which defines the entire NT and OT rhetoric propaganda.
The gospel story which injects Greek mythology by which Zeus impregnates the mother of Hercules through the wolf dressed in sheep clothing – virgin birth inception through the “Holy Spirit”, which utterly and completely changes this Torah concept of Oral Torah middot Spirits revealed to Moshe Rabbeinu after the Golden Calf on mount Sinai as the further clarification of the revelation of the Holy Spirits revelation first expressed in the opening Sinai commandment. No word translation, as expressed by the mixed multitude assimilated and intermarried Israelites who confused a word translation אלהים as equal to the Holy Spirit 13 tohor middot first revealed at Horev/Sinai which the Talmud acknowledges as the Oral Torah which the church throughout its entire history has rejects like the Jews have rejected the false messiah JeZeus.
Torah common law simply not a religious personal belief system like the NT propaganda proclaims as its “Good News”. Torah establishes the faith of common law courts and not belief in any theologically created God. Why? Simply because the subject of Gods exists beyond the power and limits of the Human mind to grasp and understand. Church theology which calls their Nicene Trinity a mystery assumes that man can perceive understanding of the Divine. Just as the Torah revelation changes the Torah perspective which in the first book of creation perceives Divine Names as heavenly in origin to living within the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the Cohen people alone — simply because only the 12 Tribes of Israel accept the revelation of the Torah to this very day. The NT and Koran never once convey the 1st Commandment Holy Spirit revelation of the Name. But rather both texts embrace the Golden Calf word translation avoda zarah.
This Torah Sinai revelation, which establishes the 2nd Sinai commandment, utterly rejects the theological foreign idea of Monotheism – regardless whether dressed up as Nicene Creed or Muslim Tawhid. The much later Mormon belief system, how much more so likewise and equally rejected as the meaning and k’vanna of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
Whilst your comment shows an imaginative confidence, it demonstrates not only profound ignorance but devastating lostness, that you do not know the true and living God at all.
The Messiah’s resurrection as foretold by the prophets evidences that the judgment foretold from same God is a certain reality to come. If you reject the salvation in His Son you will not see life but the wrath of God remains.
The Torah vision of Zionism
Isaiah 11:1-9 indeed emphasizes themes of justice, peace, and harmony among the chosen Cohen people within the borders of the brit land inheritance sworn to Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov. It has no larger reference to Goyim in other lands and foreign countries any more than the Sanhedrin courts have “legal jurisdiction” outside of the borders of the oath sworn brit lands…NOT.
The passage emphasizes a hoped-for restoration of a united 12 tribe Republic following king Shlomo’s avoda zara which resulted in the permanent split between the kingdom of Yechuda and the kingdom of Samaria till both kingdoms destroyed and uprooted unto g’lut cursed destruction due to the worship of av tuma avoda zara. This hope-for re-unification of the 12 tribes of the brit Republic has absolutely nothing to do with any particular leader in the future; the משל of predator/pray animals eating and frolicking docilly together in open fields carries no such narishkeit longing for an av tuma avoda zara pie in the sky Moshiach superman who saves America from crime and evil.
The prophet Isaiah repeatedly addresses the fractured kingdoms’ re-unification. Isaiah 11:10 “in that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the Goyim will seek him, and his resting place will be glorious.” Absolutely does not go out of the כלל of making political strategic alliances with Goyim; like Israel has a key alliance with the United States today. This p’suk based upon other T’NaCH sources where kings of both kingdoms cut alliances with Goyim. Frequently those alliances like king Shlomo’s foreign marriages such as to the daughter of Par’o – crossed the line which the Sanhedrin courts condemned. Prophets enforce Sanhedrin courtroom rulings.
The king Shlomo example: as clear as the Sun on a cloudless day that arrogant king ignored the authority of Sanhedrin courts! A legal proof which supports this after the fact contention: Shlomo’s personal court judged the Capital Crimes Case of the two prostitutes and dead infant serves as witness. A second common law legal precedent: Shlomo did not established – as David and the prophet Natan commanded – not the cities of refuge Small Sanhedring Capital Crimes Courts and neither the Great Sanhedrin Federal Capital Crimes Court. Shlomo rejected the Torah Constitutional mandate which authorizes משנה תורה-Legislative Review over any and all legal law decreed by either Tribal governments or king Shlomo’s government.
The rule of פשט לא יוצא מכלל – directly applies to p’sukim 11:10 and 11:12. Reshonim opinions followed the sealing of the Talmud masoret. Those secondary/tertiary opinions do not at all compare to the Talmudic כלל – the dream follows after its interpretation. All post sealing of the Sha’s Bavli rabbinic sources restricted to later precedent interpretations of a by-gone Middle Ages of Jewish oppression in g’lut. The Torah speaks in the language of Man. Prophets not witches – the latter tuma predict the future. T’NaCH prophets command prophetic mussar which applies equally to all generations of the chosen Cohen people alone. Only Israel accepts to this very day the revelation of the Torah. Zechariah 14: This משל describes a time when all nations will come to worship God in Jerusalem at the Feast of Sukkot. This chag a direct written Torah commandment.
The wisdom commandment\time-oriented mitzva of Moshiah learns directly from Moshe anointing the House of Aaron as Moshiach. Aaron dedicated korbanot as wisdom time-oriented commandments. What k’vanna defines the dedication of korbanot? The wisdom time-oriented commandment of Moshiach requires the נמשל k’vanna which dedicates צדק צדק תרדוף as the definition of Torah faith. In this light, the discussions around nations (Goyim) can be understood as not just referring to geopolitical entities, but rather as a call for moral alliances based on shared values and divine aspirations. Consequently, any pie in the sky superhero Moshiach, or a codified Rambam “statute book” that pretends to replace live Sanhedrin process, like both NT and Koran av tuma avoda zara – betrayal of the Torah’s own legal architecture.
In the specific Oral Torah mitzva of Moshiach, inclusive of the restoration of constitutional Torah governance; of constitutional Torah governance – the re‑establishment of Sanhedrin authority – through the national dedication to צדק צדק תרדוף. Simply re-stated this wisdom commandment/time-oriented mitzva understands that it’s a Torah commandment no different that Shabbat = the collective wisdom‑commandment, not some son of God miracle‑worker. This mitzva sanctifies the dedication of the restoration of Torah Constitutional justice: a Federal Sanhedrin lateral courtroom common law justice system together with its prophetic “police” who command prophetic mussar as enforcement of Sanhedrin courtroom legal rulings even when they make a משנה תורה legislative review of any and all tribal and federal government statute laws. Bottom line: the objective of Zionism today: To accept the revelation of the Torah @ Sinai/Horev based upon the Torah precedent that our forefathers accepted the local tribal god who brought our people out of Egypt into Canaan.
Alex you are not under the law according to your NT apostle Paul. You no more determine Torah commandments than you determine whether Putin invades the Ukraine.
Av tuma Goyim avoda zara – simply ewwwwwwwwwwww
In the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible, Sheol (שאול) – not “Hell,” nor “Heaven.”
Sheol a poetic, neutral term for: the grave. The Greek notions of an underworld or the Egyptian mythology of “the realm of the dead” – the place where all humans go when they die, righteous or wicked – not a subject of Torah common law. Why? The revelation of the Torah at Sinai for the living and not the dead. The aggadah located in mesechta ברכות explicitly teaches this mussar through the story of a Man after having a fight with his wife going out and sleeping in a graveyard. The halacha likewise instructs this exact same mussar when ever a Jew enters a graveyard he first tucks his tzitzit inside his pants because mitzvot only apply to the living and not the dead.
The Torah does not present a dualistic afterlife system. No eternal Heaven for the righteous. No eternal Hell for the wicked. Moshe cut an oath brit of either Blessing/Curse – rule the land with justice vs endure Egyptian slavery injustice. The latter called g’lut/exile.
The Talmudic reference of “gehinnom” refers to the T’NaCH geographic valley south of Jerusalem wherein assimilated and intermarried Jews sacrificed their sons and daughters to other Gods, specifically Molech in Gê Ben‑Hinnom. The Baal worship completely apart and different from the worship of Molech.
The aggadic portions which address this subject have no halachic applications – despite the Rambam who erroneously ruled otherwise in the matter of the 7 mitzvot gere toshav. Talmudic Aggada mussar “limits” the metaphor משל “gehinnom” to 12 months duration, for simple Jews who treat Torah as religion rather than common law. Talmudic mussar addresses the concept of purification.
For example: The practice of placing a dead body in the Mikveh (a ritual bath) prior to burial for ritual purification. The abstract concept of tohor vs tuma middot stands on the foundation of Moshe warning Israel not to approach their wives three days before the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Rabbi Meir taught 48 “degrees” of tuma. This subject based upon making a דיוק upon the 13 tohor spirits revealed to Moshe at Horev 40 days after the sin of the av tuma avoda zara Golden Calf wherein the ערב רב-assimilated and intermarried Israelites-translated the revelation of HaShem permanently living within the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people – the definition of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai; instead the ערב רב worshipped word-name translations. Specifically they translated the word אלהים in the place of the 1st commandment שם השם לשמה. Therein they rejected the revelation of the Torah that tohor middot לשמה — as taught in mesechta Baba Metzia — לא בשמים היא.
Immersing the body in the Mikveh showcases the community’s respect for the deceased. This act, ideally performed by the chevra kadisha, (a sacred burial society dedicated to the preparation of the body), adhering to specific halachic rituals and maintaining the dignity of the deceased. The practice of placing a deceased body in the Mikveh prior to burial emphasizes purification, respect, and adherence to Jewish law – as the last act, akin to saying kre’a shma before dying. Engaging in these halachic rituals – a show of respect for the living family survivors who mourn for their dead as an opening expression of their mourning.
Parshat T’ruma
Terumah no different than Shabbat which requires making a הבדלה which separates מלאכה from עבודה just as the revelation of the Mishkan separates “substance” from “form”. The Ari metaphor of the fallen klippah sparks serves as the form of the Mishkan. While: לא בשמים היא the substance of the Mishkan; the Avot worshipped אל שדי, אל, אלהים in the Heavens whereas post Sinai the chosen seed of the Avot – the Cohen people – worship the שם השם טהור מידדות/Horev Oral Torah middot within the Yatzir Ha-Tov within the hearts of the chosen Cohen people. This defines the revelation of the Torah at Sinai … a great רב חסד מאי נפקא מנא!
The fundamental restrictions of the Sinai brit.
The Torah Cohanim laws in ויקרא, encompass various aspects of Jewish life, particularly regarding sexual morality\ערבה, the tohor-tuma holiness Code, where this Book closes with the Blessing/Curse revelation of the k’vanna of the accepted Sinai brit. The concepts of tahor (purity) and tamei (impurity) – spirits within the YaTzir Tov\Ya Tzir Raw within the heart, herein defines the נמשל of the revelation of the Mishkan at Sinai. All Torah commandments subsumed under the revelation of the Torah at Sinai; the greatest Torah commandment of all Torah commandments – the first Sinai commandment. No Torah commandment has greater authority than the 1st Torah commandment at Sinai.
This crucial important understanding כלל, the overall spiritual and communal framework of Moshe anointing the House of Aaron as Moshiach, פרט which defines this כלל. The mitzva of Moshiach no more applicable to Goyim any more than the observance of shabbat. The latter mitzva requires the ability to discern between מלאכה from עבודה. The NT Greek language, for example, does not discern any fundamental or even secondary distinction between these two completely different Hebrew verbs which the Greek NT translates as work. Hence the Xtian Man-God JeZeus did not grasp how to sanctify the time-oriented wisdom commandment NOT shabbat NOR moshiach. Consequently both the NT and Koran exist as false prophet theology which seeks to entice Israel to worship other Gods.
ויקרא יח — כ laws of Cohonim as applicable to Goyim who reject the revelation the Torah at Sinai as Mars lack of water compares to Earth covered by vast majority in water. Goyim outsiders cannot usurp the Hebrew T’NaCH simply by renaming it “Old Testament”. Dishonesty defines the Xtian bible from start to finish; the revelation of Torah judicial common law Sanhedrin mandate radically different from Goyim worship of their Gods who live in the Heavens above.
For example: The Goyim bible knows nothing of the oath sworn brit at Sh’Cem prior to the 7 year war to conquer Canaan. Goyim know nothing of how Torah defines the culture, customs, and practices which shape the identity of the Jewish people. Their ‘I am saved through JeZeus’ reflected in the post WWII ‘born again’ fad – completely oblivious to the church crimes (both Catholic & Protestant) that culminated in the Shoah European guilt. Actions have their consequences. 2000+ years of Xtian war crimes against Humanity by no means limited to the Jews alone.
Xtian faith exists only as mythology, especially after 2000+ years of failed 2nd coming “Good News”. Where was JeZeus during the Shoah? Church has no shame b/c its believers take no responsibility for their criminal behavior from generation to generation to generation — only evil and wickedness. Answer for the crimes of the Inquisition or the forced mass population transfers or the extermination of entire populations in the New World and across the Pacific Islands and Africa. Never has any Xtian country made religious war criminals stand trial. Post WWII the Church opened rat-lines to assist Nazis to flee from standing trial. And Poland initiated pogroms against Jews returning to reclaim title to their properties!
The 7 mitzvot bnai noach, an Aggadah within mesechta Sanhedrin addresses the type of Goy temporary resident known as Ger Toshav. By contrast mesechta Baba Kama addresses the 2nd type of Goy living within the borders of the oath sworn lands “brit” sworn as the eternal inheritance of the chosen Cohen seed of the Avot and only to this chosen seed. Hence the Torah records that Moshe received command not to invade the lands of Esau!
Mesechta Baba Kama refers to the Goyim whom the king of Assyria settled in the captured 10 Tribe kingdom of Samaria/Israel. The Book of Ezra/Nehemiah refers to these people who converted out of ‘fear of lions’ as Shomronim – which the NT calls ‘Samaritans’. The Book of D’varim refers to both types of Goyim in the case of treif meat: its permitted to give this type of flesh as a present to the ger toshav or sell it to the “nacree”. The Talmud, multiple generations of sages, debated the status of the Nacreeim and reached the conclusion which excluded them as having any legal connection to Torah judicial justice laws. Why? The Samaritan forerunners of the Karaim and Xtians – one and all declared themselves the ‘NEW Israel’.
The Rambam held that the 7 mitzvot bnain Noach apply to all Goyim. Aggada makes a drosh/p’shat back to interpret T’NaCH prophetic mussar based upon similar T’NaCH case/din mussar rulings. This prophetic mussar has the power when “woven” into halachic ritual observances to elevate a positive rabbinic mitzva into a Av tohor Torah time-oriented wisdom commandment. Confusing the private opinion by the Rambam, whom both the court of Rabbeinu Yona in Spain and the majority of the Baali Tosafot in France both condemned the Rambam’s statute halachic code and Guide Greek philosophy as a Torah abomination — based upon the dedication of the lights of Hanukkah wherein the P’rushim dedicated the korban of lights to only interpret the Written Torah with the logic of the Oral Torah. Greek deductive logic the blessing on Hanukkah recalls that the Greeks sought to cause Israel to forget the (Oral) Torah.
Assimilated Rambam from Spain worships the Universal God theologies which both the NT and Koran espouse. No Sanhedrin Court has jurisdiction to judge Capital Crimes cases outside the borders of the Torah defined oath sworn land inheritance of Canaan and as further defined within the expanded language of the Torah and clarified by Moshe Rabbeinu which requires expanded National territories include small Sanhedrin cities of refuge Capital Crimes courtrooms. Hence the Rambam notion of Universal 7 mitzvot applicable to all Goyim – an utter narishkeit as the NT dictate on the mitzva of Moshiach.
The Rambam “world to come” as pie in the sky as the NT false messiah. Goyim not under Torah law. Therefore just as Americans do not determine Russian strategic interests to invade a Ukraine threatening to join NATO – especially after Napoleon and Hitler both invaded Russia through the flat plains of the Ukraine – so too Goyim, not under the law, do not determine Torah commandments, specifically in the NT case – the commandment of Moshiach.
Torah common law stands the vision of “life in the word to come” based upon the Torah oath brit cut between the pieces wherein childless Avram swore and oath and in turn his local god El Shaddai swore an oath back to Avram. This concept of brit – totally alien to the Torah. Secondary sources like the NT or Koran do not supersede the Torah; anymore that Goyim who reject the Torah can qualify as ger tzeddik converts. The Pauline ‘graphed onto’ narishkeit equal to the Koran declaration of Yishmael bound upon the altar at the Akadah.
The seven Noahide laws are presented in Jewish sources as a universal moral code binding on all humanity (the “descendants of Noah”), independent of the Land of Israel or the Sanhedrin’s geographic jurisdiction for Jewish capital cases. False. Violation of any of these 7 laws by a ger toshav constitutes as a Capital Crime Case that only the Sanhedrin courts can adjudicate. One of the 7 mitzvot requires gere toshav to establish courts of law. The Talmud does not mandate any court ger toshav in Judea the authority to adjudicate any Capital Crime case. Rather ger toshav courts limited to Torts damages courts like Jewish Torts courts in g’lut.
Sanhedrin Capital Crimes courts inclusive of Small Sanhedrin courts in all cities of refuge as well as the Great Sanhedrin Court of 71, define the Torah mandated Federal Sanhedrin common law court system. The NaCree (language of the Torah)/Canaani (language of Baba Kama) refers strictly and only to despised refugee populations/Shomronim\Samaritans.
No Sanhedrin court can put a “Bnai Noach” living in London or Paris or Berlin or Moscow to death. Violation of any of the 7 mitzvot therefore strictly and only apply to gere toshav living within the judicial domain of Sanhedrin Capital Crime courtrooms. Makkot 9a illustrates distinctions: a ger toshav who unintentionally kills another ger toshav is exiled (treated somewhat like a Jew), while killing a Jew leads to execution without exile—handled under Jewish judicial frameworks in the Land. Only Sanhedrin court justices have the Torah mandate to judge and try Capital Crimes Cases. The courts of Gere Toshav temporary residents do not have greater authority than Jewish Torts courts within the borders of Judea.
The small Sanhedrin courts function as lower courts which permits appeal to the two Great Sanhedrin courts held within the Court of Hewn State within the Temple. Secondary sources of Talmudic scholarship made after the sealing of the T’NaCH, Mishna, Gemara, and Siddur exist as opinions. These secondary sources cannot over-ride nor negate sealed Primary sources. The Rambam statute halachic codes does just that, it equates his halachic posok rulings as if they stood upon their own merit. By stark and obvious contrast the Gemara halachot serve as precedent to interpret the language of the Mishna which that Gemara comments upon and nothing more. Herein separates T’NaCH\Talmudic common law from Roman & Rambam statute law.
Aggada does not determine halacha – except in the opinion of the Rambam. Quoting Genesis 9:9–17 does not amount to squat. It amounts to a dream which has no interpretation; a letter never opened and read. Sanhedrin 56a–57a addresses Gere Toshav – based upon the Book of D’varim which differentiates two types of Goyim: Ger Toshav vs. NaCreeim. The Talmud restricted to these to classifications of Goyim within the borders of the Oath sworn lands.
Sanhedrin 56–60, which treats these laws as pre‑Sinaitic and universal? Post Sinai revelation the Torah no longer perceives Torah as Universal/in the heavens above. תורה לא בשמים היא – represents a key fundamental of the revelation and acceptance by Israel of the Torah. The Book of בראשית does not over-ride the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, any more than can post sealing of the Sha’s Bavli Reshonim scholars can add to or subtract from the sealed Talmud.
Only Israel accepts the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – to this very day. Torah common law post Reshonim opinions do not modify except to the limitations of the needs of that particular generations. Clearly the Dark Age social political and societal anarchy and chaos do not prevail today in any even near comparison to the darkest Ages of Xtian Europe under the Church Inquisition dictatorships.
Pre-Sinaitic Universal ethics defines the 2nd Sinai commandment. Therefore any attempt to interpret 7 mitzvot bnai noach out of its Talmudic restriction which limits it to gere toshav temporary residents invalidates the Torah precedent in D’varim which separates giving treif meats as a gift vs selling this treif flesh to a Na’cree. The Baali Tosafot common law commentary on Avodah Zarah 64b – ger toshav exists only when Yovel observed supports this strong restriction against learning 7 mitzvot as Universal av tuma avoda zara commandments. The Yovel only applies to produce grown within the borders of the oath sworn lands.
The revelation of the Torah at Sinai – mandates the Federal Sanhedrin Court system based upon the Torah serving as the Constitution of the Republic. Just as the Constitution of the US does not spread its Bill of Rights to Goyim living in foreign lands so too the Torah as the Constitution of the Cohen 12 Tribe Republic limited only to the borders of the oath sworn lands of this Republic. Therefore any post sealing of the Sha’s Bavli by Reshonim who seek to pervert the 1st Sinai revelation of the Name to some Universal God – like as expressed in the Av tuma avoda zara of both Xtianity and Islam – through ruling that the 7 mitzvot bnai noach apply Universally to all Goyim, such false instruction directly compares to av tuma false prophesy.
Yet the church never accepted the authority of the Oral Torah codified in the Talmud and mesechta Sanhedrin in particular! Halacha only applicable to Jews not Goyim. Both the Church and Mosque developed their own unique religious codes of theological creed belief systems. Religion never has anything to do with the Sinai brit obligation to rule the oath sworn Cohen inheritance lands sworn to the Avot with judicial common law court room legislative review based upon Torah Constitutional mandate. Any attempt by Shomronim, Tzeddukim, Karaim, Xtians or Muslims to superimpose religious theology belief system as a replacement theology qualifies as the Torah definition of av tuma false prophets who seek to persuade Jews to worship other Gods.
The fact that you do not believe that Jesus is Messiah shows that you are blind to the Scriptures you claim to read. “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” The fact that you claim to be Jews and yet are dead in your sins should terrify you.
