Whether it's the "Two House" or "Ephraimite" identity movement or "Jewish" exclusivist identity or "Messianic" or "Sacred Name" identity any "ism" or "movement" that tries to divide YHWH's people other along political or racial or intellectual theological lines, it's so NOT the Spirit of Mashiyach.  Identity is rooted in religious pride, it breeds division and senseless hatred.  Let's consider the difference between "religious identity" and Y'shua's righteous Government.  Let's consider exercising modesty and humility when it comes to religious ideas rather than puffing up bloodline identities or doctrinal supremacy in the Body of Mashiyach.  I write this paper on the heels of yet another attack by Ephraimite identity folks who cannot differentiate between outward religious identity, or an inward conversion of the heart according to Mashiyach's government.  There is a very big difference between the two.

     Apostle Paul in Galatians 2:15 spoke of "we who are Jews by 'nature', and not sinners of the Gentiles".  Sure, the Messianic Jewish movement has adopted plenty pagan values and customs, yes, most Jews have lost their Jewish nature, and Torah, and Messiah Consciousness.  Most Jews have never learned the original teachings of Y'shua from a Hebraic and Aramaic perspective, most only know of Gentile Greek based theologies about Y'shua.  Sure, that's a fact, you get no arguments from me.

     On the other hand there are Christians, not Jews by nature, who are becoming "Hebraic" and learning from YHWH's prophets and Mashiyach and the Ruach haKodesh (lit. Spirit Set Apart) is grafting them into the House of Israel.  For the most part these souls are adopting a Messiah and Torah based identity, that's a fact.  But, there are factions within this movement who have very strong prejudice and bigotry towards "Judah" and "Christians", these are they who assert an "Ephraimite" or Two House identity and they use it to wreak havoc within the Body.  They gossip, lie, cause division, and make wild and unfounded accusations against people like myself who don't subscribe to their religious bigotry or their theological and identity attacks on the souls of others.

     Some Ephraimite leaders use identity teachings to appeal to Christians to become Torah observant.  First, they convince Christians that they are part of the ancient tribe of Ephraim because of their Christian (White Anglo Saxon Protestant -WASP) spirituality.  Then they teach blood identity.  Then they tell Christians they should become Torah observant like Y'shua.  Then, some Ephraimite leaders build their own kingdoms (fiefdoms) by trying to usurp the Sceptre YHWH gave to Yehudah, who is Y'shua Mashiyach, and set up their own "halakha" and theologies of how to be an "Ephraimite", exactly like the other 33,800 Christian denominations out there who think they have the perfect cutting edge theology to get through heaven's gates.  So sad.

     NO.  There is only One rightful King of all the Yehudim (Jews) and all Israelites and all Goyim (people of all nations), who has One Torah and One People and One Kingdom.  The point is that these new Ephraimites recently came from every brand of Christian denomination under the sun, carrying all sorts of theologies and religious ideas with them (just like Messianic Jews), but they've missed the one salient point that nearly everything else is based on.  It's not what goes into our mouth that defiles us, it's what comes out of it.  From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  Conversion means circumcision of the heart.  Walking in the Spiritual man.  Putting away religion and politics and denominations and racism and bigotry and gossiping and slander of others who don't bow down to their every theological inclination.

     The Malchut (Kingdom) of YHWH is within us, it is not a cutting edge religious theory.  Torah is not a religious theory.  Torah is a spiritual consciousness and a way of living that changes us from the inside, not by our blood or by our religion or our race identity but by being renewed in our minds and hearts in Y'shua Mashiyach.  Once we've entered into Mashiyach's Government we see that all the other factions that divide people are separated out, we are for or against Torah and Mashiyach according to our actions and our words.  We don't go causing divisions within the body according to blood, or theology... that's just more old dead religion and politics with a new label slapped on it.

     Ephraimite or Two House propaganda (or conspiracy theories) might be compared with "the number three" mindset.  Pretty much anywhere you find three of anything you'll also find a Christian who sees a picture of the 3 in 1 Trinity.  There are folks in the Ephraimite movement who are equally obsessed with the number 2, every 2 on earth has some sort of connection with Judah and Ephraim, "2 sticks".  Yet, YHWH says these two sticks are One in His Hand, not a stick in each hand.  YHWH tells us in Ezekiel 37 that which was divided and scattered He will join into one Kingdom, that's very basic and easy to understand.  But that's not the picture we get from some Two House people, quite the opposite.  Some Two House leaders want their own fiefdoms, they got themselves a BIG religious identity "Hebraic" stick to beat over the backs of Jews and Christians.

     I've been critical of identity based dysfunctional elements within the Two House movement that breeds prejudice, including a teaching by Eddie Chumney that states that the "seed of Avraham" is Ephraim. NOT!  No.  Mashiyach and Rav Shaul and all of Scripture plainly teach that the "SEED" of Abraham is MASHIYACH!  The SEED of Woman is Mashiyach!  No Sir.  Mashiyach is the light to all the world, not only to you and your religious Ephraimite, Two House agenda.  To the Jew first and then to the Gentiles, simply because YHWH made His covenant with Judah and Israel, not directly with American ex-Christian WASP's.  Many Ephraimite leaders pick the part of Torah that suits them and wilfully and foolishly ignore the others that they never learned in church.

     Y'shua didn't play favourites, first he went to Jews (being one himself) and then he preached that his followers extend repentance for the forgiveness of sins to all nations.  Eddie Chumney and other Two House leaders have built religious fiefdoms by appealing to the carnal, lower nature of man's pride, they stroke American egos by making believe their followers are head and shoulders above the rest of the Jews and Goyim.  So sad really.  The fact is that most leaders within the "Hebraic Roots" movement aren't even "Hebraic", they've only dusted off a few Hebrew terms.  Hebraic ultimately means to "cross over" into Mashiyach, rather than make an intellectual "Hebraic" religion about him.  The core of the Torah is Mashiyach who magnified Torah and made it honorable, he did not magnify politics or bloodline or systematic theological identity issues.  We see plenty of evidence in the New Testament where Paul downplayed the religious flesh, the son's of Avraham identity crowd tried to elevate their blood identity over the Israel of Elohim, but Paul never bought into it.  The Israel of Elohim is the Kingdom and Government of Mashiyach, not a denomination or race of people of this world who think they have exclusive rights to Torah or Mashiyach.

     To be "Hebraic" in Mashiyach means to "cross over" from religion and paganism into the Kingdom of Elohim.  In other words, our identities as Jews or Christians or Ephraimites or Messianics or Netzarim is irrelevant compared to our identity in Mashiyach.  Sadly, most Ephraimite leaders continue to think in Greek, quote from the Greek New Testament and I've witnessed Two House leaders make up teachings about what they surmise are Hebrew equivalents to English words in their KJV Bibles.  No.  Hebraic means to live according to and within the Kingdom of Elohim, in Mashiyach.  Here's one quick example:

     Rabbinical Jews observe what they call the "Jewish Shabbat", they have traditions about how to celebrate Shabbat.  Seventh Day Adventists celebrate a Seventh Day Adventist Sabbath, they have traditions about how to celebrate Shabbat.  However, being "Hebraic" (crossing over) from tradition or religious ideas about Sabbath and into the way Y'shua writes Shabbat upon our hearts, is two very different things.  Shabbat is a day of intimacy with the Father, not about a religious theology or bloodline identity.  Shabbat isn't Jewish, Y'shua taught that Shabbat was made for man, not man for the Shabbat.  But, here's an example where religious pride thinks they own Shabbat, but they only see Shabbat through the eyes of their own religious identity.  So sad.  People walk around calling themselves "Sabbath keepers", they introduce themselves... "Hi, I'm a Sabbath keeper" which is a nice religious punch in the fact to anyone who isn't, those folks are "Sabbath breakers".

     I've been critical of Two House leaders who teach it's ok to have multiple wives (Moshe Koniuchowsky) or that it's ok for a married man to have sex with a mistress (Avi Ben Mordechai) who himself divorced his wife (he said because she wasn't Jewish).  I supported Avinoam Mordechai and his brother Uri Marcus until I discovered neither are qualified according by Torah and Mashiyach or by the Shlichim (Apostles) to be in leadership in the first place, and because religious identity issues are at the forefront of their religio-political mandates.  So sad.

     James Trimm is another proud Two House advocate, a divorcee like ben Mordechai who has proven himself a thief who stole from brethren and a liar.  Trimm is not qualified to be in leadership.  I've been publicly critical of his false ministry which I also originally supported 1997-2000 until I discovered what he was doing and how he steals from the body and plays politics.  Trimm was gunning to be Rosh Beit Din (head of an international counsel of judges) while he was playing politician (two-faced) and stealing.  Not a shred of remorse has been forthcoming from those I just mentioned.  So very sad. 

     I've also discovered that within the identity based Two House movement there is a condescending attitude towards Judah, the Jewish people and towards Christians who have yet to learn of the Netzari Faith or the Torah Charter of Mashiyach's government.  I don't want to be associated with the hatred and bigotry, that is why I've spoken out publicly against such antics.   I've dealt with the gossip mongering simply by making public statements over the internet so when others hear the attacks against me, they'll likely find articles like this and understand there are two sides to every story.  I saw plenty of bigotry in my early years growing up around the Sacred Name movement where some folks routinely put people to hell for not saying the Name of Yahweh, or not keeping Feasts on their chosen dates and I've heard many brandish deep anti-Semitism.  Now it's "Ephraimite" identity that some are using to polarize the Messianic community and build their fiefdoms and their denominational divisions within the Body.

     Every Two House leader I've ever met has come out of Christianity.  Some of their Christian roots show their anti-Semitic theological biases and replacement theologies just like those who aren't claiming to have Torah written on their hearts, in that sense all these Ephraimites have accomplished is to launch a new breed of replacement theology putting themselves above others, another religious fad, for them Torah is a religion rather than a Kingdom.  For example there is a sentiment among some that everything in the Talmud is evil.  Really?  If it wasn't for the Talmud we wouldn't have a second witness, historical proof, that Yeshua healed in the Name of Yahweh.  And that the Name of Yahweh was all through the original writings of the minim (the New Testament).  We wouldn't have dozens of confirmations about the New Testament and halakhic matters that pertain to Mashiyach and his detractors if it wasn't for the Talmud, as messed up as it is.

     Over the years I've met with Two House leaders to try and bring reconciliation and encourage everyone to work together as a body and family, for my troubles I was gossiped out of some of their congregations.  It's mind boggling to me how some folks say they follow Torah and then carry religious animosity and contempt for each other and don't have the wherewithal to reconcile basic things within the Body.  There are Ephraimite leaders doing high handed rebellion against the Body but other leaders won't want to get involved and deal with it.  For example, it's wicked to teach that it's ok for a married man to have sex with a mistress.  Most Christians know that YHWH created male and female in the Image of Elohim to become one, to protect their ketuba (marriage covenant) as one.  It's wicked for leaders to take money and never deliver things people paid for, that's called stealing.  When people give their word but then refuse to keep it, that's called lying.  It's immature to play petty political denominational style games against others who you don't feel are "in your camp", why not simply speak the truth in love.  Bless and do not curse.  Bring matters forward for reconciliation rather than run and hide and gossip about things in disagreement.

     If you're not securely identified by a specific label, you become enemies of those who want to force you to wear the label they wear.  Thankfully more and more Ephraimites are understanding and preferring the Government of Mashiyach and Y'shua's halakha rather than making another fiefdom and glorying over their new sheep.  For example, one very basic Torah principle that desperately needs implementation among Two House hierarchy is the Beit Din.  If this were done, I would be able to appeal to mature and wise leaders in the Two House movement and be brought before judges who could try me on charges that I'm being gossiped about, but I doesn't look like that will happen.  The very core of the Messianic Faith is righteous judgment, a thing called "JUSTICE", but apparently the Two House and Messianic leaders are to busy with their own business plans that doing the work that YHWH and His Mashiyach requires of us.

     Many Ephraimites have never even heard of a Beit Din.  Most think that's something Jews do and it's not for them.  Many have only heard of the dysfunctional and carnal James Trimm style attempts to rule the world through his own personal ego based self serving Beit Din.  The reality is every Jewish community has a functional Beit Din, because, this is Torah.  YHWH's Torah.  Written Torah.  Y'shua clearly advocates the Beit Din and the early believers had a Beit Din in Jerusalem when dealing with matters in the body.  Check out Matt 18:16, 20; 1 Cor 14:27, 29; 2 Cor 13:1; 1 Tim 5:19; Heb 10:28).  Beit Dinim would curtail the gossip and backbiting and divisions and Jezebels and unqualified leadership within the congregations who set out to divide and destroy and bring religious hatred into the Body.  This would be the single biggest differentiation with the Judeo-Christian, Hebraic roots movement that would be supported by the Spirit of YHWH for His people, but Two House leaders would rather gossip and slander people out of their congregations that raise up a very foundational and basic Torah principle.

     Beit din's would also help raise up and equip new leadership, launch more fellowships, reconcile the divisions within the body rather than leaving people bleeding in the streets after being slashed by the carnal tongues of others.  Ever hear your rabbi or pastor complain that there aren't any "qualified" men in the congregation, anyone who says that isn't qualified themselves.  The whole point of leadership is to raise up disciples unto Mashiyach.

     I've also discovered some leaders within the Ephraimite (slash) Sacred Name movement who are rabid Jew haters who came into the Two House movement through British Israelitism, or the World Wide Church of God, or Seventh Day Adventism where it was fashionable to hate Jews, and yet have some sort of Sabbath consciousness.  I've also met some who acknowledge their past hatred and want to turn from their bigotry, there is hope, but like most movements these things don't happen from the top down.  Leadership is too busy making business plans rather than ministering to the core needs of the body, so it will happen at the grass roots level if it happens at all.

     When I attended the Repairer of the Breach Two House congregation in Lake City (Kelowna) British Columbia (BC), Canada, I taught there for a few months about the importance of implementing a Beit Din in the congregation, but the leader, Brian Anderson, became threatened because he felt that his fiefdom and veto authority would come to an end.  So he called upon long time gossiper Elaine Dueck to thoroughly trash me in front of the entire congregation, Pastor Brian Anderson and his wife Lucie are ordained by Ralph Messier of Denver Colorado, my appeals for a meeting and reconciliation and dialogue were squashed.

     Others in that Two House congregation, John Aaron and wife Beverly Aaron (Elaine’s relatives by marriage), and Gail and Russell Hinter also imbibed in the gossip-fest when I didn't attend one Shabbat.  Russell Hinter broke the devastating news that I had been "thoroughly demonized in front of the whole congregation".  For several months after I had been gossiped out of their congregation, I met in the home of Kim and Holly Mitchell and then shortly afterwards I moved to Sylvan Lake Alberta where I encountered more Two House folk who continued to lay their gossip against me for not supporting their Two House identity and anti-Semite theologies, and whatever other grievances they could muster against me.

     I was introduced to Christopher and Curtis Johnson (aka Israel ben Avraham or "Izzy") through the Repairer of the Breach fellowship in BC, who are close friends with Matthew Anderson, Brian and Lucie Anderson's son.  After I was gossiped out of the Repairer of the Breach fellowship in BC, these two Johnson boys who continued the gossip attacks against me.  The Johnsons had very strong convictions that prayer should be made to Y'shua, my response what that it was an oversimplification but that while in my home they were welcome to pray as they wished.  I don't subscribe to that theology as a rule, my preference is to pray to Father YHWH in the name of Y'shua,  but that didn't go over so well and I got a bruise from them for teaching that in my own home.

     Then the gossip was taken up by Kim and Holly Mitchell because I refused to cave into their micro-managing techniques.  After three years of not hearing a peep from Mr. Kim Mitchell, and never before having heard him reprove or chasten or rebuke me for anything, he found it his heart to pick up the phone and lay accusations against me before other brethren in the USA.  Last time I heard from him was through a message his wife gave him that he wasn't allowed to speak with me anymore.  Everyone knows that if you hang around Jezebels and gossipers you become like them in order to fit in to their club.  So sad.

     While attending the Repairer of the Breach fellowship in BC I first heard of Terry Fehr who has devoted a good portion of his time to studying the calendar.  Even before I met Terry Fehr I was advised by some of his students at the Repairer of the Breach that he was putting people in hell for not observing his calendar dates.  Yet another reason why I've had a trail of Ephraimites gossiping me down, I don't subscribe to their calendar intolerance of others, and yet most of them wouldn't take the time to learn why I wouldn't necessarily subscribe to their dogma.  The fact of the matter is I respect Terry Fehr's work because he has invested much into his calendar research, but it is all worth naught if a man can't consider himself an equal with others who have done similar research, but arrive at different conclusions.

     Oftentimes when I'm in Jerusalem for the Feasts I observe the Festivals with those who have chosen different dates, at times I've fasted for three Yom Kippurs, three days in a row, so as to also acknowledge and respect the choices of other brethren, but, what I often receive for my efforts is gossip because I don't subscribe to any one particular "camp" and I also refuse to be a bigot towards the celebrations of other Believers who don't follow the same calendar as I.

     I found a similar situation at Mark Gravell's Bondservants of Elohim Two House congregation in Langley or Aldergrove, British Columbia.  After attending Mark Gravell's fellowship and bringing two others who were looking for a fellowship, doing what I could to support Mark Gravelle as a leader, I was never invited to return.  I gave Mark Gravell a Bible and he promised to respond but hasn't kept his word with me or treated me as an equal, that was only a couple years ago... maybe he's still thinking about keeping his word, but I doubt it.

     In late 2010 Mark Gravell invited Scot Dryer to speak at his Bond Servants of Elohim conference and after hearing one of Scot's online teachings about Two House identity I was delighted, I made a comment on his blog and tried to make contact... but to no avail.  Not being welcomed by the local Two House community I asked a brother in Prince George to give Scot Dryer a gift of a Bible and a book entitled Wheel of Stars for his ministry.  The response from Scot Dryer was embarrassing, he stated that he had a "check in his spirit" about receiving the gift and embarrassed my friend in front of others.  Religious bigotry sucks, religious pride and religious identity is carnal, it's not becoming of an ambassador of Mashiyach.  I respect the fact that many leaders in the Two House movement have little or no Hebrew or Aramaic skills, most are thinking in Christianese and in Greek but slap a few Hebrew terms overtop their old systematic theologies and hierarchies.  No worries boys, if I can learn, so can you.

     In 2008 I was contacted by "Two House" Sandra Smith, who has since changed her name to Sandra Bashan.  Sandra was interested in a relationship and stopped off in Vancouver for a visit, however, I had no reciprocal interest.  As a result Sandra Bashan went on a nasty gossip rant and joined the chorus of other Ephraimites who are warning people against me.  Sandra Bashan visits a Two House congregation in Israel lead by Ephraim and Ramona Frank.  I asked Sandra Bashan to advise me what I did wrong, she had no specifics other than call me a liar, deceiver, manipulator etc.  So I asked if Sandra Bashan would bring the matter before Ephraim Frank, for counsel on the matter, but no, she ramped up more accusations.  To this point Sandra Bashan has not provided ONE specific action that I've done wrong, or a date when I supposedly did something so terrible.  Some Ephraimites want to gossip and accuse with absolutely no regard for the Authority of Scripture.  Everyone knows Matthew 18 says go to a brother and tell him his faults, but what I've received from the aforementioned "Ephraimites" is nasty false accusations, I don't even know what it is that I did or what I said that caused them to ramp up their gossip and hatred campaigns against me.  From what I can tell, it was that I didn't affirm their theology or religious identity, yet all of them claim to be followers of Y'shua and Torah observant.  So very sad.

     The gossip and defamation against me by certain Two House folk probably won't end until Mashiyach returns so I've posted a bit about this style of "Ephraimite Love" simply to say that if you have friends in the Ephraimite identity camp who are connected to their grapevines, there's a good chance you'll get a call or email and hear how I'm the big bad wolf trying to shear Two House sheep from someone's congregation or some other such foolishness.  As the saying goes, idle minds are the devils playground.

     The Two House identity movement has unqualified and undignified leaders who are relatively illiterate in ministering the things of the Ruach haKodesh, the same old religious Jezebel and gossiping spirits prevail as they did in the churches these folks left, but they didn't really leave, they simply call it "Hebraic" now.  No one deserves the gossip these Two House folks are levying, but neither am I about to roll over and play dead.  There are Black and White Supremacists within the Two House and Messianic movement who bring their religious bigotry and anti-Semitism into the congregations because they can, when identity is elevated bigotry is welcomed.

     Thankfully, Yahweh has been raising up a whole new Family of Believers who don't subscribe to religious bigotry or backstabbing as a "ministry".  There is another breed of "Ephraimites", Fearers of Elohim, who are secure in their ethnic identities and much more interested in their identity in Mashiyach and His Government than a blood identity as "Ephraimites" or Judah.  I have many dear and close friends within this group of Ephraimites who are equals, brothers and sisters of Father YHWH, and part of One Kingdom and according to One Torah, a Torah that says don't go around as a talebearer.  I'm grateful for Ephraimite brethren who understand they are part of a prophetic calling for the restoration of Yisrael, spiritually and literally as it pertains to HaEretz Yisrael, Mount Tsiyon and Jerusalem as the seat of Y'shua's government.  There is a rapidly growing number of souls who see the Government of Y'shua within local communities that transcends ethnic and religious identities, which I find exciting.  In other words, while some Two House identity schools are simply expressing old deep seated religious bigotry that have always had, a new breed of elect are differentiating between religious bigotry, gossip, slander, Jezebel spirits, AND the Government of Mashiyach that doesn't tolerate those things.

     The difference between an "identity" Ephraimite and a "spiritual" Ephraimite is night and day.  The former is religious the latter is Faithful.  The former have arrived at a new religious fad where they can beat down the Jews and Christians with their cutting edge theology and how to keep the calendar and say the Name of YHWH, the latter are yearning for YHWH and His Government and having a spirit of reconciliation and ministry.  The Spiritual Ephraimite is confident in being a Fearer of Elohim, and in his or her own right as Torah observant followers of Y'shua, whether Black or White, Spanish, French, German, Asian, Indian, American, Auzzie, Arab, Israelis or whoever are able to recognize the "one new man" which is a cliché for some, but a spiritual reality for many others.

     Yearning for righteousness is a gift from YHWH.  This is the opposite of having a religious spirit that goes around telling others which day to observe YHWH's Feasts, or go to hell, or seducing Christians into observing Torah because of some imaginary bloodline identity.

     Proverbs says that "A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger" so my answer to the identity Two House souls is to try and consider what it means to be "born again" or "born from the head" or being "conformed to the Image of Elohim" or having Mashiyach in you the hope of Glory" or passing from "death to life" or being "converted" or making Teshuva "repentance" in Mashiyach.  Consider and live according to the spiritual man and we won't be elevating religion and the carnal flesh anymore.

     When I was in my teens my Dad used to ask me to "prepare something" for Shabbat, that's how I got involved in leadership.  I never asked to be a youth pastor, or a pastor or a rabbi of anyone, and I'm not anyone's teacher.  Yeshua is our teacher in the Ruach haKodesh.  I look to YHWH and His Mashiyach to learn the Way and try to help others do the same.  Yeshua is our Rabbi, not me and not you.  So I would simply ask the previously mentioned folk that if you are so upset with me and have charges, list them and email them over, or publish them against me on the internet so it can make be made right.  Wouldn't that be better than calling around and gossiping?  Wouldn't that be more pleasing to the Father?

     In a recent trip into the USA I was saddened by how Two House gossipers from Canada made calls to people in the USA to sow discord.  There were no charges levied against me, just gossip.  Those who heard the gossip were too embarrassed to talk about it, apparently it was blanket condemnation.

     So, I pray that my Ephraimite identity "friends" will one day yearn for the things of Yahweh.  Why not yearn for the Father's Word to grow in us?  Yearn for His Spirit?  Yearn for His Love and yearn to be able to love all brothers and sisters who are on the path:

"the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from faith to faith"

Romans 1:17

     We all learn from faith to faith, nobody has all the truth or all the answers and we all had different personalities but nobody deserves to be singled out and condemned because they are a bit different than your inner circle of Ephraimites.

Here's a promise:

 "O Yahweh...the Gentiles (Goy) shall come unto You from the ends of the earth,

and shall say, Surely our forefathers have inherited lies,

vanity, and things wherein there is no profit."

Jeremiah 16:19

     The Goyim shall come to Yahweh and say, "surely our forefathers have inherited lies!"  Notice that the Goyim aren't going to Judah or "Ephraim" to teach them how to live, or fix their halakha and hashkafa and minhagim... they're going to YHWH.  The Word of YHWH is able to "fix" man's religion.  YHWH gave Torah and His Word and we simply need to have His Word written in our hearts.  Rather than gossip consider having the integrity to speak what's on your heart and minister according to righteousness.

     Without the Spirit of YHWH to lead us we have nothing, except another religious identity.  Without a meaningful and intimate relationship with the Father people are seduced into an "identity" movement that's only about stoking religious flesh.  This is the number one reason the world hates religious people, because of how they treat each other.  The reason why there is so much division within the Ephraimite and Messianic movement is because the enemy is planting gossipers and Jezebels in the congregations who are stroking their religious flesh and trashing the names and reputations of YHWH's people.  The only way this is going to get healed is, if leaders will step up to the plate and be YHWH's men and address these issues and stop being cowardice.

     In the meantime, if you hang around folks in the Two House identity movement who welcome gossipers and Jezebels into their congregations your eyes will be blind to what YHWH is doing in these latter days.  You will not hear YHWH's voice and you will not be prepared for what is ahead.  YHWH and His people will never tolerate gossiping and backbiting and slandering and people who refuse to be accountable for their attacks on others and their carnal flesh.  Something has to get done, that's why I've been proposing that we do what YHWH says in Torah and raise up local Beit Din and men who will step up to the plate and be noble and honourable men.

     Now is the time to differentiate between those having Torah written upon their hearts and those who want to use Torah as a ministry of condemnation.  Torah says don't go about among your people as a gossiper, but how are we going to stop the gossip and backstabbing if we don't expose it and address it and curtail it?

     May YHWH guard and protect you from the carnal identity "Ephraimites."

Shalom U'Vrachot,

Baruch Ben Daniel

RESPONSES:

On erev Shabbat December 31 11:08 pm Sandra Bashan emailed a note about this webpage:  Your pride will be your downfall....As I told you before, I will keep praying for you as the Ruach leads.  PS...Thanks for the publicity on your website it helps to generate sales!  You get three Stars for that one!

Thanks Sandra, but what do you mean generate sales?  sales of what?  what exactly are you praying for?  what am I to make of this?  why exactly are you speaking evil things of me?  You call me a liar, deceiver, thief and manipulator, really?  Could you be more specific and tell me how that came about?  Could you bring two or three witnesses against me so at least I know what you're talking about?  Do you know anyone who is mighty in Scripture and zealous for the Ruach haKodesh who can help rectify the situation?  I'll be the first to admit I'm an imperfect man, but I don't know the cause for your accusation unless you are specific about at least one event that happened.

Also, please consider Shabbat as a time of simcha (joy) where we don't bring negative things into our souls. If you have hard feelings Shabbat isn't a time to revisit these things in your thoughts.  Please try to forget about thinking, saying or writing negative things on Shabbat, in this way Shabbat will become a more restful and important, and meaningful time, negative thoughts won't steal our simcha, and not listening to negative talk or writing about negative things with others on Shabbat makes room to delight ourselves in the Father.  Thinking of generating sales on Shabbat isn't so good either, it's call "moychenidizing" and just because some of your carnal Ephraimite leaders are doing that doesn't make it right.

I recommend that you discuss these things with Ephraim and Ramona Frank who you say you respect, perhaps they might be able to help you overcome what appears to be a Jezebel spirit (manipulation, deceitfulness, untruthfulness, insecurity, hatred of YHWH's servants).  Perhaps others will help you clarify why you and your friends feel that you can gossip and slander others with impunity.

Regrettably Sandra Bashan, you are also doing the same thing as James Trimm, you send emails but then block the reply and/or refuse to bring charges before witnesses, or permit me bring you before others who might ask you to be accountable for your slander.  That's not Torah Sandra, that's not walking in Mashiyach.  That is sad.
