WisteriaRain's Realm of Reality

In Ezekiel chapter 33 to be exact verses 7-9 The Word of God tells us that we are responsible for our brethren, so to speak. Actually, He promised that He would set a guard, to herald in the end times a warning will sound. Believers and followers of the bible are also supposed to look out for their fellow man. If you see a wrong, we are to point out to the wrong doer, perhaps what they do not know is wrong, what they are doing. Yes! I know! Then we are passing judgment. NO!! We have Ten Commandments we are to follow. If someone is blatantly breaking the law, we, by all means, may to say something! If there is a gray area, and one person feels that a wrong is committed, they may point out their view to the offender. The two may reason together…however if the offending person is not told of their sins, then not only are their sins on themselves they are also on the observer!


I will give you a for instance. I have tattoos. My sister Kathy felt compelled to tell me that I was wrong to have them. Upon studying Father’s Word, a debate arose. Leviticus 19 the whole chapter advises of staying set-apart from other religion’s practices.


Lev. 19:19 states ‘Guard My laws. Do not let your livestock mate with another kind. Do not sow your field with mixed seed. And do not put a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you.


Well anyone wearing a poly-blend or cotton and spandex is in big trouble!


Lev 19:28 is where tattoos are brought up ‘And do not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor put tattoo marks on you. I am Yahweh”. Egyptians introduced the practice of paying respect to their dead with making deep gashes on their faces and cutting and tattooing their bodies in remembrance of their deceased loved ones. Well, my tattoos are not religious in anyway. I just like to use my body as an art gallery, and make it prettier than it is. I believe as long as tattoos are not ritualistic they are fine. Kathy said her peace, and her conscience is clear. I did my research and my conscience is clear. I am planning my next one…a castle for my grandson Castle. I am also looking in to something faith related. I like ink!


I digress, though it is hard not to tie God’s Word to another subject, back to giving warnings.  Ezekiel 33:7 “and you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Yisra’el. And you shall hear a word from My mouth and you shall warn them for Me. 8”When I say to to the wrong, ‘O wrong one, you shall certainly die!’ and you have not spoken to warn the wrong from his way, that wrong one shall die in his crookedness, and his blood I require at your hand. 9”But when you have warned the wrong to turn from his way, and he has not turned from his way, he shall die in his crookedness, but you have delivered your being.


Yes! We are our brother’s keeper! I actually am more concerned with what I put into my body and the fact that I am over weight more than I am worried about the ink on my flesh. Actually, I am more concerned with the words that come out of my mouth than anything else. My life style: I work from home, take care of my family, steal moments with my extended family and try to serve Father Yahweh as He wills, through His son Yahushua…who is my Lord and Savior. That is my life. Now that summer is here, I may get out more. There are fire-works tonight at Coney Island…maybe I'll see you there.  Say, "Hi!"
