ZaMaR 19:8-11”Psalm”

8 The statutes of YaHuWaH are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of YaHuWaH is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of YaHuWaH is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of YaHuWaH are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

meaningful dialogue:

Before reaching out to us via email, we kindly ask that you take a moment to familiarize yourself with our ABOUT US page. This will provide you with insights into the perspective we share on this website. We do not support or adhere to the Christian New Testament or the belief that salvation is achieved solely through a human sacrifice on a cross by a demigod. It's crucial to avoid making hasty judgments without engaging in meaningful conversations to fully grasp the context. Quick conclusions can lead to actions that may be considered sinful, such as spreading falsehoods or engaging in slander (see MaShaL 18:13 in "Proverbs").

We invite you to connect with us via email. If you are a member, consider scheduling a conversation through Calendly. However, we have a foundational requirement: a shared trust in the unchanging nature and instructions of the Creator, YaHuWaH, as outlined in the Hebrew ToRaH (also known by Christians as the first 5 books of the Old Testament). This sacred text is our sole authority. This requirement is not intended to be rude or disrespectful but is necessary to ensure discussions are firmly grounded in the unwavering word of the Creator, and God of Israel, YaHuWaH, as conveyed in HIS ToRaH (refer to ZaMaR 18:2-6 in "Psalms"). We appreciate your understanding and willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue.

At WOTR, we don’t position ourselves as self-professed prophets, teachers, leaders, or mentors, nor do we affiliate with any specific group, sect, religion, or recruitment center. Our goal is not to instruct but to offer a platform for exploration and education. We provide information across a wide range of topics using resources like Scholarly articles, Strong's Concordance, Encyclopedia Britannica, dictionaries, word etymology, and other trusted references.

These tools are here to help you broaden your perspective and engage critically with the material, empowering you to make informed decisions on your life journey. Our core values and unwavering trust are rooted in the unchanging Hebrew ToRaH of the Creator and God of Israel. We strongly encourage everyone to measure all opinions against this widely accepted foundation, for who would question the instructions of the Creator of all things?

There is no commandment in the Hebrew ToRaH from the God of Israel that requires Israelites to pray through an intermediary to commune with Him. Instead, the Hebrew TaNaKh emphasizes the importance of direct communication between the Nation of Israel, identified as the God of Israel’s son (Exodus 4:22-23 and Hosea 11:1), and YaHuWaH—much like the relationship between a father and his child—without the need for a mediator.

 Isaiah 29:13

13 Wherefore YaHuWaH said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

The prophet Isaiah 29:13 states that the people of Israel outwardly honor YaHuWaH with their words, but their hearts are far from Him. Today, the world finds itself in the same condition—people’s fear (or reverence) of YaHuWaH is not genuine but is shaped by human traditions, emotionalism, religious systems, and the worship of an intermediary savior, all rooted in the precepts of men rather than His unchanging Torah. This means they are not truly following YaHuWaH’s instructions but are worshiping Him through man-made rules and religious pagan customs. Because these teachings come from human tradition rather than the Torah, they lead people away from the true ways of YaHuWaH. Worship that is not rooted in truth becomes vain (shav’ - שָׁוְא)—useless, deceptive, and lacking substance (Exodus 20:7).

Ezekiel 18:30-32

30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the YaHuWaH God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith YaHuWaH God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

BaT DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles” Hebrew TaNaKh

14 When my people, who bear MY NAME humble themselves, pray, and seek my favor and TURN from their evil ways; I will hear in my heavenly abode, and FORGIVE their sins, and will heal their land.

 MaKhiYaH 6:8 “Micah”

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YaHuWaH require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy ALuWaH?

ZaMaR 119:10-11 “Psalm”

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Psalm 119:10-11 expresses a deep commitment to seeking and following YaHuWaH's commandments. The psalmist declares that they have wholeheartedly sought after YaHuWaH and asks not to be led astray from His ToRaH. Furthermore, the psalmist has treasured YaHuWaH's word in their heart to avoid sinning against Him, showing a desire to live righteously by keeping the God of Israel’s ToRaH close.
