Uncle Yahshuah exposes Pastor Dowell. Is The Word of YAH rated ‘G’ for all ages ?

Pastor Dowell was set up by Yah to benefit His people or was set up by Satan to be a stumbling block to the sons and daughters of Yah through Yahusha ?.

The same question can be posed when considering any of the Hebrew Israelite camps and organizations. Some are more subtle with their deception, fooling even Yah’s elite (elect children). Only Yah knows if it’s intentional or not.

Dowell’s lesson had more*itches than your average secular rap song. 

Why do so many supposedly righteous men of Israel come to Dowell’s defense? Do they admire him more than Yah? Is it coveting? Did they receive their wive(s) from him? Do they hope to receive their wive(s) from him? A good wife is a gift from The Most High and not man. Do they see his potential and just ignore his error? To whom much is given, much is required. Do they see themselves in him? We should be one with Yahuah and Yahusha.

Isaiah 6:5-10 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Dowell’s cheerleaders encourage his bad behavior: “But he has so many fruits, land, crops, livestock, large following, members, money, seniority, and other resources” (Psalm 58:1, Job 34:19, Proverbs 22:2, Proverbs 31:9).

So do the powers that shouldn’t be, right? The world is given into the hand of the wicked for a short time. This is not our kingdom. The Kingdom of Yah is coming. Fruits of the Kingdom are spiritual. (Job 9:24, Matthew 13:49, 1 John 5:19, Psalm 82:4-5, Psalm 97:10, Isaiah 3:11, Jeremiah 15:21, Ezekiel 7:21, Ezekiel 30:12).

If money or land equated to righteousness, then study to show yourself approved. Who owns the most farmland on the earth? Who provides all of the potatoes to all of the McDonald’s on the earth? Who has the biggest congregations on the earth? Who owns the most livestock on the planet? Which religion or denomination has the most members on the earth? Are these leaders or any world leaders righteous according to Torah just because they have accumulated or possibly stolen wealth and resources 

(Psalm 73:3-12, Jeremiah 12:1-17, Proverbs 13:7). 

Proverbs 28:6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

The #1 landowner on the earth is the Roman Catholic Church: 70 million hectares, according to https://www.onemorehectare.com/en/landstyle/these-are-the-5-biggest-landowners-in-the-world#:~:text=Roman%20Catholic%20Church%3A%2070%20million,more%20than%2070%20million%20hectares.

“The largest landowner in the world is not a major oil magnate or a real estate investor. No, it’s the Roman Catholic Church. According to lovemoney.com, the Church owns more than 70 million hectares. An area that is larger than France. It is not just about agricultural land, but also about land in the most expensive locations in London, Paris and New York”.

According to an article by the Guardian written by Nick Estes, Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. 

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/05/bill-gates-climate-crisis-farmland

When pressed during a book discussion on Reddit about why he’s gobbling up so much farmland, Gates claimed, “It is not connected to climate [change].” The decision, he said, came from his “investment group.” Cascade Investment, the firm making these acquisitions, is controlled by Gates. It also is a shareholder in the plant-based protein companies Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, as well as the farming equipment manufacturer John Deere. His firm’s largest farmland acquisition happened in 2017, when it acquired 61 farming properties from a Canadian investment firm.

The billionaire media mogul Ted Turner owns 2m acres and has the world’s largest privately-owned buffalo herd.

McDonald’s french fries, carrots, onions: All foods come from Bill Gates farmland. They own the soil where the potatoes in McDonald’s french fries grow, the carrots from the world’s largest producer, and the onions that Americans sauté every night for dinner, according to this report by April Glaser for NBC.

The rich getting richer? (Proverbs 22:16).

Warren Buffett revealed to CNBC that he has a card that gives him free McDonald’s in Omaha with no expiration. The billionaire also revealed Bill Gates has a McDonald’s gold card that gives him free food at any location around the world for the rest of his life.

Who has the top megachurches in the world, in America, what are the largest YouTube ministries, and what’s the largest religion and/or denomination. Do numbers equate to righteousness? You have social media and the Internet. Do the research. (Isaiah 1:9-31, Romans 9:29, Micah 4:7, Jeremiah 3:14, Amos 5:3, Ezekiel 12:16).

The largest megachurch in the world by attendance is South Korea’s Yoido Full Gospel Church, an Assemblies of God (Pentecostal) Church, with more than 830,000 members as of 2007.

Some megachurches and their pastors have been accused of promoting a “prosperity gospel,” where the poor and vulnerable are encouraged to donate their money to the Church rather than saving it in the hopes that God will bless them with wealth.

Carnal prosperity teachers…..or righteous servants of Yah because of the numbers

The road to Yah is narrow, His flock is small. (Matthew 7:13-14).

Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

Do we love man or Yah, we can only serve one master. Do we honor the fruits of the world or the fruits of the Kingdom?

I mean Pharaoh was rich, Satan is the God, the highest principality of this world, did King Herod have wealth, what about the Pharisees and Sadducees? Did they have power, large followings like the Pope and mega pastors? (Ephesians 6:12, John 18:36).

Luke 4:4-8 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

In the age of social media let’s not forget many celebrities, politicians, and others within holly wood have large followings and mega resources too. American idols. World-wide-web idols. Tik tokers, Instagrams, etc. Making mankind gods, idols, and kings. Worshipping men, favoritism of men.

Do numbers, fans, money, and land equal righteous fruit?

James 2:2-6 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

Of course, none of us is perfect, only Yahuah is good, but we have to aim for perfection like our Mashiach, who has been perfected by Abba Yah! (John 17:23, Acts 3:16, Hebrews 5:9, Hebrews 9:11, Hebrews 12:23, 1 John 4:17).

Will we slip and fall sometimes, yes, but we can’t stay in error, in folly. We have to repent and get back up again. Like even the secular singer Aaliyah said ‘dust yourself off and try again.’ 

Matthew 3:8-9 Bring forth, therefore, fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Leaders are called to lead Mashiach’s sheep by example. They are to shepherd His people. The Word is for all ages, and children of Yah must not be subject to leaven, profane language while learning the Word of Truth. Would we say that is acceptable unto YAH? Is that the representation we want to give of The Most High. (1 Corinthians 5:6, Mark 8:15, Matthew 16:11-12, Galatians 5:9, Leviticus 2:11, 1 Corinthians 5:8, Matthew 13:19).

Revelation 3:16-18 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

From the beginning, Uncle Yahshuah said that he liked these leaders Yah has called on him to expose before they started going to the left or to the right in one way or another. 

It’s not personal but righteous rebuke out of love, that’s Torah, that’s lawful and not being over religious or judgmental, but righteous judgment (2 Timothy 4:2, 2 Chronicles 6:23, Psalm 7:8, Isaiah 1:26). He even included most of them in his song that plays at the end of every video, and he recommended many of them at the end of his curses documentary. 

Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

Uncle Yahshuah has indeed shared their good qualities and attributes, i.e like Pastor Dowell’s communities that all Yahsharal should be striving towards, or Elder Rachaaw getting the info out in time regarding the Jim Jones juice, but he’s also shared areas where they’re in error. None of us are perfect, and no one is above rebuke. We’re all working and striving. Uncle Yahshuah’s testimonies of dying to self daily are very encouraging. He doesn’t claim to be perfect but seeks to be obedient to Yah in all things. He’s always humble and open to correction, constantly noting we’re all seated at Mashiach’s table to be poured into.

1 Corinthians 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Romans 12:6-9 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Yah has called Uncle Yahshuah to go back to the garden and practice celibacy, cleansing his vessel to be completely poured into. One of the things he’s been charged with is cleaning house (1 Peter 4:17, Ezekiel 9:6), preparing the way for The King as John the Baptist did (Isaiah 40:3-5). Waking up the Bride and her companions.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Isaiah 62:5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

Is it wrong to drink? No, of course not unless you’ve taken a Nazarite vow. But there’s a time and place for all things under the sun. Is it appropriate to drink while shepherding and teaching the Word of YAH?

One of Yahusha’s first miracles was turning water into wine, but this was during a wedding celebration. He promises to drink from the vine again with us after all things are made new in Father’s Kingdom, and that will be a feast and celebration of the Passover. The marriage supper, wedding of the Lamb and His Bride before ABBA YAH.

Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.

Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Yah allows us to feast and drink wine and even strong drinks. Still, everything in moderation for being drunk or a drunkard is unacceptable. We have to be sober clear-minded at all times, never knowing when we’ll get that call and, especially, when teaching the sheep. When we proclaim to be Yah’s teachers and leaders, we’re held to a higher standard because we can cause others to fall by our behavior, words, and examples. (1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-16, Romans 14:21, Romans 15:1, 1 Corinthians 1:27, Deuteronomy 14:26, Judges 13:7, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Isaiah 55:1, John 2:1-11, Acts 11:23, Titus 2:6).

1 Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

Matthew 5:19-22 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven.

Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Okay, so let’s recap what Dowell’s cheerleaders are applauding (Luke 12:56-57, 1 Corinthians 7:23). Him dropping incredible insults, buffoons, (s)ugar (h)oney (i)ce (t)ea and *itch a**words in reference to women he has been given charge to shepard, while handling, reading and teaching Yah’s holy Word. And supposed men of Yah really don’t see anything wrong with this, no need for correction or rebuke, just cheer, cheer, cheer, defend, defend, defend. A viewer commented how his “tear women down to build them back up” technique resembles that of the renowned Chicago pimp Don Juan himself, straight out of the pimp playbook and not the Torah. 

Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Psalm 35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

But it didn’t stop there he also talked of burning harlot women in his congregation at the stake once the world is thrust into the great tribulation because they’ll be no police, no justice system, no law and order or consequences. But our laws come from Yah first and the laws of the land second. Did Yahusha stone the woman accused of adultery or did He say let him without sin cast the first stone?

Yahusha calls his men to love their women as He loves the Church. Yet, Dowell gloats that he is not kind to the women. He’s especially rough to the virgins in his community. He doesn’t look at them and he doesn’t even speak to them or greet them unless he’s tearing their a** down.

Ecclesiastes 4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

 After the sacrifice, death and resurrection of Mashiach, is burning someone at the stake permissible? Is there any sin other than blasphemy of the Ruach HaKodesh that can not be forgiven? (Matthew 12:31). Then he went on to tell those who have lustful thoughts regarding another man’s wife that they should just kill themselves. Again, can’t they repent, rather those thoughts have been acted on or not. (Romans 3:22-25). One sin is not greater than another according to Yah; if you break one commandment, you have broken them all. (James 2:10). So anyone who falls should commit suicide because all have fallen short of the mark. Does that sound like the will of Yah or the plan of HaSatan. (John 8:44).

Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

He who betrayed the Messiah committed suicide. It had been better that One not been born. And he that causes those who believe in Mashiach to fall it had been better if they tied a millstone around their neck and jumped in the sea. But someone being killed or committing suicide because they sinned, how do they come to repentance before death and not wake up in condemnation in the judgment. For we know that Yah’s holy angels rejoice for every sinner that repents, so should his teachers advise them to quit?

Isaiah 1:17-19 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

Correcting someone that Israel worships is not easy, especially with us bringing over some of our behaviors from Roman Christianity, but even before that since we first left Egypt. It’s ingrained in our DNA, something we have to recognize and battle. Our people always want a man to be their King. It would be nice if we went as hard for The Most High YAH AHAYAH YAHUAH and His laws, statutes, and commandments as we do when defending and reverencing man. 

Ezekiel 13:21-22 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

Uncle Yahshuah has taught us to side-eye everything and everyone, even him. Someone can be on point this year and make a sharp or subtle turn down the wrong path, and if the blind leadeth the blind, they both fall into a ditch. That’s why we are called to test the spirit. 

Hebrews 3:13-14 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Praise Yah, this is not a double dutch competition Pastor Dowell. Uncle Yahshuah’s team against yours. Accusing women who come to sit at Mashiach’s table with men of Yah for hours every week, diligently seeking Abba’s face is a bad look, sir. We know the false accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10, Romans 13:9). We don’t know what Yah will lead Uncle Yahshuah to share with us, but it’s always a right on-time, edifying lesson. Like Unc said, Playtime is over; it’s time for the 1/3 to prepare the way for our King, Mashiach Yahshiya, Yahshaya ,Yahusha, Yahawashi

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it;

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Just a rebuttal to Dowell’s supposed rebuttal, (1) Uncle Yahshuah doesn’t have ropes he has beautiful, Yah given locks like Samson originally had (Judges 16:13-17, Song of Solomon 5:11), it’s called being natural, Yah’s gift to the so called Black man (2) the members of Mashiach Assembly never really know what lesson will be taught during our weekly Bible study. Sometimes Uncle Yahshuah don’t know what Yah will reveal until just moments before we meet. (Hebrews 10:25). (3) Every zoom bible study fellowship has both men and women members that are a part of Mashiach’s Assembly assembling for 5 to 8 hours every week, note one week we went 12.5 hours Praise Yah. (1 Corinthians 11:1-7, Matthew 18:20, John 20:19). We know the reason why they’re not always all on the screen but they’re there supporting us and commenting 100%. For example different time zones, work schedules, etc. Uncle Yahshuah is building us up to be righteous servants of The Most High, Proverbs 31 wives not Jezebels, and strong men of Yah. Hours upon hours of fellowship that hasn’t even been released yet as Uncle Yahshuah lets Yah lead, edification not gossip (1 Corinthians 5:3-5). 

Zechariah 11:15-17 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young One, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Israel, Yahsharal was rejecting YAHUAH to crown a mere man king. Replacing the infallible for the fallible. Wanting a leader to rule them like the heathens. Preferring worldly over heavenly.

1 Samuel 10:18-19 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:

And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands.

A minister should revere Yah and not offer anything defiled upon His altar.

If someone is working for the beast they would refrain from using profanity, but not one who is supposedly working for The Most High?

Malachi 1:6-8 6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.

And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.

Men will not rule over Yahsharal righteously.

1 Samuel 8:10-18 And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.

And he said, This will be the manner of the King that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.

And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that day because of your King which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.

How do you minister to edify the people? By not allowing corrupt, profane communication and language to proceed out of your mouth.

Ephesians 4:29-32 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

And be ye kind One to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

We are called to put off the old man, and strive to remove filthy communication from our lips. Not glorify it, welcome it, champion it.

Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Proverbs 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

Teachers are supposed to exhort the people, not tear them down.

1 Thessalonians 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

1 Thessalonians 2:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

From the abundance of the heart, a man speaketh. Knowing that we will have to give an account of every idle word in the judgment, we ought to be careful and bridle our tongues to the best of our ability.

1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Matthew 12:34-37 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Shun profane babblings.

2 Timothy 2:15-16 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Teachers of the law must teach people holy vs. unholy, acceptable vs. profane.

Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

What comes out of the mouth, evil thoughts, this is what defiles a man because it comes from the heart (Genesis 4:7), and we know Yahuah searches the hearts of men (1 Chronicles 28:9), He writes His laws, statutes, and commandments on our hearts under the renewed covenant through Mashiach.

Matthew 15:17-19 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Psalm 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Jeremiah 17:10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

A religious man has to learn to bridle his tongue.

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

Are we to hold on to unrighteous speaking?

Proverbs 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

A minister should speak as the oracles of YAHUAH (see 1 Peter 4:11)

1 Timothy 5:20-21 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Jeremiah 2:29-31 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.

In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?

Jeremiah 7:28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Isaiah 57:14-15 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Jeremiah 5:2-4 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely. O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.

The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor. (Psalm 10:2-3)

The wicked has a mischievous tongue and a mouth full of cursing. (Psalm 10:6-10)

We are called to be like Yah, not the wicked. We have to practice bridling our tongues.

James 3:1-11 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Job 15: 3-6 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

Job 15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

We are called to follow Yahusha’s example. How would He lead, Shepherd, and speak to His flock?

John 13:15-16 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

1 Timothy 4:11-12 These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1 Peter 5:3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Even those who make it to the wilderness can be purged if they don’t fall in line. If our hearts be far from the ways of Yah. (Job 33:3, Psalm 12:2, Proverbs 16:21, Proverbs 26:23, Isaiah 29:13, Matthew 15:8).

Matthew 7:21 Not every One that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Ezekiel 20:36-38 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:

And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
