giveness of sin. Unless you think Solomon<br />

the wise would pray for the impossible It<br />

is just not a Biblical idea that Gd demands<br />

a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins.<br />

Furthermore, Gd explicitly states that human<br />

sacrifices are an abomination to Him,<br />

and something He hates. So who died on the<br />

cross Was it Jesus-the-god or Jesus-the-human<br />

If it was Jesus-the-god, like Dionysus,<br />

then, sorry, Gd cannot die. If it was Jesus-thehuman<br />

then all you have is a human sacrifice.<br />

And what Jews practiced animal sacrifice<br />

until 70 Only those Jews in Israel. The<br />

vast majority of Jews never went back under<br />

Cyrus of Persia, as i wrote on the web site,<br />

and could not have cared about the Temple,<br />

because they knew that they didnt need a<br />

blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins, as<br />

we are taught in Hosea 14:2.<br />

Answer:<br />

First of all the ancient sages disagree.<br />

They translated Leviticus 17 to state in the<br />

Septuagint that without the shedding of blood<br />

there is no forgiveness of sin.<br />

Secondly, the Torah states repeatedly<br />

that the sacrifices were to make atonement as<br />

does the rabbinic tractate YOMA.<br />

Thirdly, when there was no temple or<br />

interest in it in the post captivity period, the<br />

prophets Haggai and Ezra both gave The<br />

Word of HaShem to rebuild it and reinaugerate<br />

the sin sacrifices.<br />

Fourthly, Nineveh was a pagan Gentile<br />

culture. Other rabbis including Rashi maintained<br />

that the Hebrew sacrifices were not<br />

only national and personal for the Hebrews<br />

but the Hebrews were to make ritual atonement<br />

for the Gentiles. While we disagree<br />

with Rashi’s misunderstanding of Isaiah 52<br />

&53 in this regard, his understanding of the<br />

principle is correct.<br />

It should additionally be noted that some<br />

commentators (both Jewish and non Jewish)<br />

interpret the two leavened wave offerings of<br />

Hag Shavuoth as representative of Jew and<br />

Gentile.<br />

Question:<br />

Dear Sir.<br />

I am grateful for your written questions<br />

for J Ws on the moriel site. My personnel<br />

question is about the beings popularly called<br />

“alien grays” Are they bad Angels<br />

I feel they are real! I could say much<br />

about them as I have loved them. Yet I also<br />

know they smell horrible from they element<br />

of Sulphur. Also I know they are horrible in<br />

other ways. I believe that the Bible describes<br />

beings like them as being Demons.<br />

Yet I still like them. I don’t want to like<br />

them, I just do. I don’t like pictures of body<br />

organs but I like science. In my mind with Jesus<br />

my feelings about them have become less<br />

careless of other peoples sensibilities and I<br />

am willing to admit my tendencies can be in<br />

error. I am a sinner. But am hoping to hold the<br />

hand of mercy before my chances are gone.<br />

In Jesus love explains all beyond the impatience<br />

of fear.<br />

God bless your caring craftings.<br />

J G<br />

Answer:<br />

Dear Mr. G:<br />

I have to say this is a very different letter<br />

than we normally receive here at <strong>Moriel</strong>.<br />

To me, what you have written seems to come<br />

from a confused mind and one that lacks<br />

peace. So, first off, from what you have written,<br />

I could conclude that you are being deceived<br />

by the god of this world, for (the one<br />

true) God is not a God of confusion but of<br />

peace, ... If you believed Him and His Word,<br />

you would not be writing from this state of<br />

mind, “admit(ing) my tendencies can be in<br />

error.” You are not in a “tendencies of error,”<br />

my friend, you are in error. First you have<br />

exceeded that which is written (1 Cor. 4:6).<br />

Next, you are believing, The devil, the father<br />

of lies (John 8:44) who is deceitful... for Satan<br />

himself is transformed into an angel of light.<br />

(2 Corinthians 11:13-14) and is the prince of<br />

the power of the air, and you seemed to have<br />

the spirit that now works in the children of<br />

disobedience working in you (Ephesians 2:2).<br />

You are looking for mercy, “before my<br />

chances are gone,” then the answer is simple,<br />

repent of your fascination, “love” and “your<br />

carelessness” in dealing with these powers,<br />

rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual<br />

wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6:12)<br />

Surely you know that the working of<br />

Satan (is) with all power and signs and lying<br />

wonders... (and you are risking much in<br />

believing this) strong delusion, and that if<br />

you should (continue to) believe a lie... (2<br />

Thessalonians 2:9b,11b) You will perish into<br />

darkness with satan and these fellow angels.<br />

After repentance of these things, pray for<br />

protection from wrong influences, and put<br />

God’s Word into your heart, mediate on it,<br />

dwell on it so that you can become renewed<br />

in your mind and in your heart. Trust in Him<br />

fully, Him alone. Be guided by His Word and<br />

do not trust your feelings, for they will guide<br />

you into the ditch.<br />

May the Lord be merciful, but please<br />

turn to God fully, completely, before it is too<br />

late.<br />

In Peace,<br />

David<br />

Letter:<br />

Dear <strong>Moriel</strong>,<br />

Just reading, I get so informed about the<br />

world events in you magazine. I thank you!<br />

I once hear on the radio on how the Government<br />

trains their secret service men in how to<br />

spot a phony money, and that (is by) having<br />

them handle the real thing. (They train) For a<br />

long time and then when a phony bill comes<br />

along, bingo they catch it. Well, it the same<br />

thing when I keep reading and hearing the<br />

word of the Bible. I know what (is) fake and<br />

what is the Truth and your magazine proves<br />

it (backs up His Word) all the time. I read<br />

Letters & Comments<br />

what Jacob has to say, along with the other<br />

commentators and writers of your magazine<br />

and I am encouraged. Here is a donation to<br />

be use as it is needed.<br />

Greg G.<br />

Answer:<br />

Thank you Greg for you encouragement and<br />

your kind donation.<br />

In Peace,<br />

David<br />

David,<br />

PLEASE let Jacob know how his book<br />

has taught us, & also ratified some of our own<br />

discoveries, and is such a sobering and book<br />

for today.<br />

Praise God that He has given him the<br />

insight to write this. I’m sure it will not be<br />

popular, but for those who choose to flee<br />

from all the false, heretical, experiential, organised<br />

church programs and traditions we<br />

find here in the USA, nothing more than evil<br />

masquarading as light. This book is one such<br />

document that lays out the trappings and failings<br />

that we can so easily fall into (if we take<br />

our heart, ears & eyes off Him). I am in the<br />

zone of just abiding, being encouraged to<br />

stay strong, and to encourage those around<br />

me to remain in him.<br />

Please tell him thank you,<br />

Tony<br />

AUSTRALIAN LETTERS<br />

Dear <strong>Moriel</strong> <strong>Ministries</strong>,<br />

• I was enthralled with your srticle on<br />

rain. I know “we can do all things in Christ,”<br />

but when I read your words; my whole world<br />

changed.<br />

So thank you<br />

Mrs R of Victoria<br />

• I have enjoyed the studies these few<br />

years and look forward to the <strong>Moriel</strong> website<br />

each week. My early years in the Baptist<br />

church as a pre-teen and onwards taught<br />

me much that is not at all evident anywhere<br />

I have looked. <strong>Moriel</strong> has not only bought<br />

back at lot of that old teaching, it has deepened<br />

it. I am more staggered each day I understand<br />

Gods plan for mankind started before<br />

Adams creation. There is unfortunately<br />

hardly anyone to share your work with now<br />

as the market driven church has created so<br />

many self content children that do not want<br />

to know about anything more.<br />

Keep up the good work & thank you to<br />

the whole <strong>Moriel</strong> Team.<br />

Mr H of Western Australia<br />

• There are so many to pray for out there<br />

but “The Word” says “The fervent prayer of<br />

a righteous man availeth much.” So we must<br />

keep praying.<br />

Mrs A of South Australia<br />
