A female friend this week had her hair cut to within one inch length due to years of chemical damage caused by those hyped up “good look” chemical adverts . Damage that could not be cured despite much expense on rectification products. The solution, either cover up the damage with a weave or wig, or cut it off and start again. Monthly I visit the fish market to stock up. To escape the tedious avoidance of bones while eating, I buy big fishes as Salmon, Sea Bass etc.  Most are now farm raised which entails their feeding with artificial food, growth stimulus etc. We are what we eat so even the seemingly “healthy” fish may eventually pollute our bodies, lead to cancer or other diseases. What have we done to God’s original food and other blessings?

Today is a study on how one gets the favour  and or mercy of Yahweh God.

Favour. There are 14 Old Testament Hebrew words and one New Testament Greek word translated into English as the single word “favour”.  A summary of the Hebrew meanings include gracious or kindness, good, kind, delight, pleased with or satisfied with.  Compared with the single Greek meaning according to Strong’s concordance as

“Graciousness”, especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life.   According to Lexical concordance is a kindness granted or desired.  Only to show one always get a better understanding of words reading its use in the Old Testament.  Some of the Hebrew ones are used as little as 56 times and as much as 2120 times.  Here are a few sample scriptures using “favour”.

Note the sun disc around their head attire and other places.  There is no instruction given or precedent set by either Jesus, His apostles or any early bible Christian to celebrate the first day of the week to Jesus or God.  You will read confirmation of this by many other denomination heads and bible scholars. However, let us take an independent look again.

Question: Did Yahshua (Jesus) or His apostles start a new covenant?

The title is taken from Matt 26:28 (repeated in Mark 14:24 and Luke 22:20; 1cor 11:25). At His last Passover meal (called the last supper; but was not His last supper), after Jesus had given the disciples bread to break and eat, He took wine and give them to drink saying “drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins".  Note He nor any apostle raised it in offering to the sun god as some denomination priests do.   Be careful with what you partake out of ignorance of its history.
